I 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…&rdquRelated chapters

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”

AlexI was finally well physically, but my brain cells felt dead. I wasn’t understanding anything.Why would Hailey take over the business?Why would Robert give up his hard work of years?I was freaking out and all I hoped for was an answer. I know that it won’t help if I just sit and think around. I wanted to meet her. And I could now.“Are you okay? You seem troubled” I heard summer as she walked inside with lunch. I smiled at her.“I am fine”“Is this about Hailey?”“It is always about Hailey”She sighed. “I understand but she looked okay, she looked fine. You saw her on the television, they looked fine”“Do you really wanna believe what people show in front of Media? You know how fake it could be”“It can be fake when we talk to her, too”“Yeah, but then she’d be making a

HaileyI was on my way to the conference. I need to clear my mind and just think about what I have to do now.I reached the building and went inside. I took a deep breath and replayed the speech in my mind to make sure I remembered everything.I was welcomed politely and taken to a room. There was a big screen and several journalists.“Good to see you, Mrs. Anderson. May we start in five minutes?” one of them asked me.“Okay”He smiled warmly at me and went to talk with other people. I just stayed. Someone walked up to me and asked me to take a seat, almost in front of the big screen.I sat down and soon a man who seemed to be a boss walked in and sat beside me. He looked at me. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hailey Anderson. We hope to see Anderson Corporation reach more heights”I nodded and smiled, not knowing how to react. I didn’t even know his name, so I

AlexI was blank when I heard her speech. She… uh… well. I don’t even know how to react. Summer was standing right next to me, with her face paled.“She closed her eyes?” she asked me. “Who the hell told her to do that?”“Come on, we have to be with her” I got up. “I am sure she needs us”“Okay” she nodded and went to her room. I was in deep thoughts. Robert, you crossed the line this time. You have no right to humiliate my sister.Summer came down and we went to our car and I sat in the driver’s seat.“You think Robert did this? uh… tell her to do that?”I looked forward and started driving. “Let’s ask him”She sighed. “I am feeling so bad for her… she must be so… uh, sad?”“I know. And I am sure Robert must be happy”She looked at me. &ldquo

HaileyI went inside the door and slowly closed it behind me. I looked at him. He was sitting with his head facing down. Maybe he hasn’t noticed me.“Robert” I whispered and he looked at me.“Hailey…”I went to him. “Why did you do this? Why?”“I…” he sighed and sniffed. He stayed silent for a few moments.“You don’t even have a reason or an explanation…” I whispered. “I just wanted to hear it. If you had any, because most people don’t. But turns out you don’t even have one”He just looked down. “You humiliated me in front of everyone, Robert! You taught me that!” I was almost yelling.“I am sorry…”“Sorry! Wow!” I laughed, ironically. “Will this sorry change anything?”“What can I do…” he sighed. “You

HaileyI was at Alex’s house. They were preparing something to feed me because I haven’t eaten anything from... much time.I was least worried about eating. I just wanted to have some sleep. Yeah, I just slept, but it doesn't matter.They said that I will die of hunger if I don’t eat now. But that’s crazy because I just ate yesterday…Summer brought some dishes and kept it on the table, followed by Alex, they kept it all on the table in front on my couch. “Eat now”I sighed and started eating slowly. Suddenly, I felt like I really needed to eat something. My stomach made noises and I ate most of the food within a few minutes.I got up and kept the utensils in the kitchen. Summer smiled at me. “Are you feeling better?”“Yep”“Good. Now do whatever you want, okay?”“Yeah!”I went back to the living room. I h

HaileyI was driving fast and soon reached the bar. I was nervous, but right now, it was not the time to be nervous or afraid. He might be so drunk.I went to the entrance.“Ma’am, do you have the VIP pass?” the doorman asked me. I was enraged. They really know me but are trying to show me that I am nothing.“I am Mr. Anderson’s wife. Robert is inside, I have to go”“Sorry for the trouble ma’am, but because you have no pass, you can’t--”“How much do you want?”“Huh?”“How much money do you want?”“$10,000”“Fine. Show me your QR code”He gave me his phone and I paid him instantly. He let me go inside immediately. I know how cheap these people are. They can be bought with just a little money.I went inside and started searching for him restlessly. Soon I fou

HaileyI got off him and sat beside him. “Don’t leave now… okay?” he asked.“I won't,” I smiled. “But to keep this secret… I have to act like I still…”“Hate me?”“No! I never hated you! I mean, I have to act like I don’t wanna stay with you”“It will be hard,” he looked to the other side. “Really hard staying away”“I know…” I sighed. “But isn’t it better that we have solved our misunderstanding?”“Of course” he looked into my eyes. “You know, I would have told you if I was sober too. Because I couldn’t keep it in”I hugged him. “It is gonna be okay”I had a lot of questions inside me but was hesitant in asking them. I wanted to spend time with him without any troubles but it seemed like we had to fight a lot of peop

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.”&

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.
