Hailey
“Did you forget your birthday too?” he asked me.
Oh fuck, really? like really? I forgot my own birthday!
“O-oh seems like”
he laughed. “Well, it’s okay. Now we’re gonna celebrate your birthday”I smiled. Yes! It is gonna be so much fun. Maybe I will make new memories and forget what happened today anyway.
“Yeahh” I replied.
The car started and the speed was good. I was enjoying the scenes that went by. It looked so beautiful. My life was going smoothly and it was good. I know that it is not a good sign, what happened today but anyway I do think that maybe it was some prank. I mean, he never gave any explanation… but I don’t know.
I just can’t jump to the conclusion that he is acting. I trust him, after all we are married for two years. and maybe one year wasn’t so beautiful, only I know how much I loved the last year
HaileyI looked at him as we stared out of the window. I was so shocked as he said it.“What work?” I asked him. He looked at me and took my hands in his.“You just have to take over my business”“What? Why?”“Because I want you too”“Firstly that makes no sense because I am not a businesswoman and secondly, for that you brought me here and did all that? Unbelievable”He sighed. “look Hailey. I knew you would not agree. And you may not understand how important this is to me, so I thought to keep a backup plan”“Backup plan? To blackmail me?”“I…” he sighed. “You can just use better words”“Like what?”“Like to just explain you”“That makes no sense. You have no better words for this. there aren’t any better words. I don’t know why you
HaileyI just stared at him as he came to me and took my hand in his. “If you think it was my fault, you are wrong. You made me yell--”“Can you just stop now…” I whispered. “I beg you, don’t ruin everything we made in a year so easily”“But why? I am right--”“I beg you, Robert” I had tears in my eyes by now.He stopped and scoffed. “I don’t even know what we did last year”“You sure don’t know” I looked down. If he knew, he would not be doing this right now!We were walking to his car. I wish I knew what was the reason behind this but seems like I don’t. Maybe this all was planned? and the year was fake? I can think the worst right now and it all will seem true to me after all this happened.After I was sure that we would be happy forever now.“What are you thinking?” he as
HaileyWe reached home and he stopped the car. I got out and he did too.He came to me and took my hand. “let’s go”I looked at him. He was acting like nothing happened. How can he behave like that? He basically told me that I have to be his maid, like he wanted me to be before. But he is acting like we are the perfect lovely couple.We went inside anyway and he closed the door behind him.“Now”I looked at him as he spoke. “Hm?” I asked.“We are gonna start straight away” he went to a corner of the room and brought a few files. “you are gonna know about some of the trustees of my company”“Can we start later?” I asked him, sighing. “I just had the most interesting day--”“No, right now” he went and sat on the couch. “Sit”I sighed and sat there. There is something wrong
Hailey“That’s enough” he finally closed the files. I sighed loudly. Finally this shit has ended. But it sure gave me a bad headache and I wanna die right now.I got up. “I’ll just sleep--”“Make me tea,” he interrupted me.I stared at him and looked away as I was frustrated. I sighed loudly. I can’t!“I am really tired”“I don’t give a fuck--”“And i don’t give a fuck about your business” I interrupted. I can’t take this anymore. “And I am gonna do what I want”He smirked at me. “Hailey, tsk. You really think that can happen?”“Why are you doing this?”“Why am I asking my wife to make me tea?”“No. Why are you torturing me?”He stood up and I took a step back. “Do you even know what is torture?”“
HaileyI woke up and yawned. My head was feeling better. It sucks to think about the headache I had yesterday.I looked at the time, it was 10 AM.Oh fuck. 10 AM? really? I thought that Robert would kill me if I woke up at 8 and here I am, sleeping till 10. I really feel so scared. What if I go down--The bathroom door opened and I saw him. “You’re up?”I moved a little back on the bed, as I was scared. “Y-Yeah”“IS there a ghost?” He asked and went to the mirror. He set his hair. They were still wet, I guess he just showered. “N-No”“Why are you stuttering?” He looked at me now.“am I?” I tried not to stutter. “Uh… I am not”He came to me and I went a little further back. He sat beside me. “Why are you going away”Why is he acting like nothing ever happened?Was
AlexI am a little better now. I wanted to go to Hailey’s house but it seemed impossible now too. I don’t know if I will have to fight Robert. I can’t do that if I am not even well.Summer was also worried. “Should I call again?” she asked as she came back with a coffee. “You hadn’t tried again from yesterday, but they should call back”“Yeah I know, but you know something’s wrong”“Yeah, right”“So I guess I should call”“okay”She smiled. She probably doesn’t know how dangerous Robert can be. But I don’t think she will get in any trouble. I hope Robert doesn’t fall so down to even hurt her.I waited for her to come back.------SummerI dialed Hailey’s number and it was picked up.“Hello?” I said.“Hey” I
HaileyI looked at him. “You want me to do business?”“Yes”“Okay I will”He smiled and nodded.I have to know the truth. He has definitely changed and there is something that seems fishy.-----One week later.“So, we’ll cut off the deal” I smiled at him. “Correct. That’s how business works”“Pretty easy”“Yeah, it is”I nodded. In the past week, he has taught me about business - pretty much every important detail. and yeah, this week was so rushed and we had some hard moments but I realised that he was calm as long as I was ready to do business.I felt something strange around him. I am close to knowing the truth.“We’ll make the announcement that you are taking over the business in some minutes”“Okay…&rdqu
RobertI knew I couldn’t beat him. if I was still in the Mafia, he wouldn’t have dared to touch me or my wife. But now I have to do something. I can’t believe I let this all happen!I scoffed and went out of the building. I can’t tell her that it was him… and this sucks.I was glad that I was gonna finally meet her. I have no idea what he did to her in the last days. But somewhere I knew there was a line he would never cross. Because no matter what, he is still my brother.I sat in my car, which he was using till now and then drove to my house.She wasn’t around, so I switched on the television to know about the company.“Anderson Corporation to be in hands of Mrs. Anderson, looking forward to the biggest deal of the decade”“Critics against the decision, warns that the experienced should have taken the next step prior to this transfer of power”
MaxWe made it out and let Cane’s dedicated team members clear the mess up. No one knew that there was someone who looked like Robert: and no one ever will.I was excited to meet Robert and Hailey to tell them the good news, but I couldn’t go there. Even if I was not on the records for the most of my life, I did have a death certificate.I just messaged Hailey. “I killed John. Let Robert know and yeah… when you two get well, let me know. I want you to visit me.”I smiled thinking of how happy they would be.After a few minutes, she replied. “OMG REALLY, MAX!?”“Yes, Mrs. Hailey :)”“Oh God… thank… thank you so much!”“Thank me by visiting me with Robert. Don’t come alone, he would kill me. But come soon.”“Haha, we w
HaileyI was looking at him. I was in the same Ambulance as him because I wasn’t much hurt. He was really hurt and the doctors were hesitant in making the right call: they were confused if they should take him to the hospital first or should perform an operation on the way.The bullets had seemingly pierced deep. I was already in tears. “He’ll be alright, right?” I asked the doctor. He was concentrating on his breathing and looked at the monitor consciously.“he should be.”“W-what do you mean should be! He has to be!”“Please be calm, mam. We are doing the best we can.”I cried and cupped his face. “I love you, Robert. You have to get well and that too soon. Do you understand me!?”I saw his lips curl into a slight smile. I smile widely noticing that. Was I hallucinating or did he really smile?
Robert“Get away from her!” I yelled at him, but he just took more steps towards her. I went towards her but a few more men came and surrounded us. They pointed a gun at Hailey and me.“Stand back, Robert. Now it’s my time.” he reached Hailey.She was crying badly. She was traumatized again. Again. No... This can’t happen. I can’t fail.“I’ll give you everything John, leave her, ” I said to him again but he ignored me. He forced Hailey to look at him.“That day I stopped” He smirked. “Today I want and I will do it in front of your husband.”“John!!” I yelled but he didn’t even pay any heed.“Let’s go inside.”He smirked as he went inside. His men took Hailey inside and they forced me
RobertI kissed Hailey’s forehead slightly as she smiled.“Get up now, it is already afternoon…” I smirked at her and she smiled.“Not yet.”“Okay.” I laid down beside her and sighed. “Let’s sleep again.”“No no!”“Then?” I raised my eyebrows and looked at her. She smirked and pulled me closer and joined our lips. “Let’s talk.”“Talk, huh?” I kissed her back and hovered over her. “Start then.”She blushed and looked at me. “I think that I have recovered. So, I want you to go back to manage your business.”“My business?” I raised my eyebrow and then smiled. “Your memory is still bad. It is not mine, it is yours.”&ld
JohnI was in my new place. My headquarters burnt down more than a month ago and I have still been thinking of what I should do.I have a lot of things to do. Firstly, I have to take back what rightfully belongs to me too. This is nothing else than Robert’s company. I am his twin, why should he get it all? Wasn’t the business dad’s?I ran out of my family when I was young. It was just when I came to know that they were gonna sell one of their children. I couldn’t risk getting sold too, and I was the weaker one: I would have been the first to be sold.When I ran away, I never thought I’d find anyone from my family again, until, after a few years, Robert became such a prominent figure. I met him by accident and we became friends as we reconciled our childhood.But the problem started when I silently started liking Hailey.
SummerI was so happy. I didn’t bother much and called Alex straight away.It had been almost 40 days since I last talked to him. I was so excited to hear his voice: even if it would be filled with sadness or hatred.I know that he treated me badly, but I also know the reason, so I have already forgiven him.“Summer?” His voice was full of shock but still calm.“Alex… Alex the reports came…”“And?”“It is yours… it is yours, Alex!!” I yelled in happiness.He stayed quiet for a moment before sighing, and then chuckling in happiness. “Woah…”“Are you… coming back?”he didn’t reply for a few minutes. I didn’t say anything. maybe he needed some time to think about that.
One Month Later.Robert“Yes!” I chuckled and she laughed too.“Oh my. I never thought about that. It would have been so good!”“Yes. We can go there if you want!” I smiled at her. Her eyes shone in excitement and she got up.“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”“Okay okay!” I got up too.We were just going through some online articles about how to have fun. She came across one of the parks which had some pretty cool games and roller coaster ride, and she was immediately drawn towards it.When I told her that we had one in LA too, she was overwhelmed. Now, we are going there.“I am so excited!” She repeated as we went out of the ward. I smiled at her. “I am too.”&
Two Weeks LaterRobertI was finally cured. My new doctor was male, so I didn’t face any problems in the last few days. I was so glad that I was free now.As I went out of the hospital, I thought of Hailey. Three days. It has been three days since I last saw her. Of course, I didn’t meet her from that day, but I did see her from out of her ward.The last time I visited her, she was still so scared. Scared of me.I closed my eyes. It hurts to remember that moment, no matter how much time has passed. But now that I can be with her, I have to make her believe that I am not John. And I have to end this John too so that we can finally have a happy life.I am so done with all these turns. I wanna live happily with her now.I called Alex to let him know about it and even if he was reluct
AlexAfter a few days, I was finally gonna meet Matt.It was the next Sunday when Cassie could finally convince him to meet me. Yeah, they are still together. Even though Cassie gave me the entire command to ask her to leave the relationship, I insisted on deciding it after I had met him.So for all that matters, she is still with him.I had told her to invite him to lunch. As the table was settled, the doorbell rang. I went to open the door.Matt was dressed in fine and decent clothes. he looked at me with respect, as though he never threatened me. We had a good chat over the meal and I was kind of convinced that he had changed. Cassie looked happy from the fact that everything went well.In the end, I agreed to them continuing this relationship.--ONE WEEK LATER
