Hailey
I 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
HaileyAfter what happened, Alex hasn’t spoken a word to me. I wondered if he was still angry, or just didn’t have anything to say, but I couldn't do anything.It was 6 in the morning and I just didn’t want the day to start. From now, I will have to go to the company to manage the papers and other things.Time seems to pass by quickly now. It was like only a minute before it turned to 6:30 and only a few minutes till it was 7:30.I could hear voices from downstairs. I finally woke up and after getting fresh, went downstairs.I looked at Alex and his tensed face. I didn’t speak a word because I didn’t wanna get scolded. I saw Summer coming and kept the lunch on the table in front of our couches.Then she went to her room.“Has she eaten?” I asked him finally.“Why should I care?” His answer was scary, and then he picked up his plate and started eati
Robert I was glad that I could finally tell the truth to her. I knew that I had to rectify what John did, so I went to the company before she could come. Everyone still treated me the same. They wished me, and some even called me boss. I asked them to call Hailey the boss now, but it seemed like they took her too lightly. I will slowly change this. Finally, I saw Hailey entering the company. She seemed nervous. “Don’t you need an assistant?” I asked her. She smiled, but was more nervous. “Let’s talk inside,” I said. She nodded slowly and then we went into her cabin. “You? And assistant?” her eyes were building out in shock. “no-no, that is bad”“It is not. I can assist my wife” “No you can't,” her voice was bold. I chuckled and went to her. I kept my hand on her cheeks. “Do you want me to beg to be your assistant?” “Robert!” She was embarrassed. “What’s wrong with yo
Hailey I was beside them and listening to their conversation. I couldn’t believe what Alex was saying! “What? We did it, Alex. I know--”“You are saying I am lying?” He went near her and looked at her with anger. “First, you get pregnant without any contact! Do you know what that means!” She looked scared and hurt. “Do you mean I cheated!?” “Yes! You did and you are what you always have been! A prostitute!” She looked hurt and almost gasped. She couldn’t stop her tears and nodded. “Fine, I knew this. Sorry, will never disturb you again” She started going out and I followed her. “Hey, hey--” But she just ran outside and didn’t listen to me at all. I went behind her, but she took a cab and left. I was really mad at him. I believe her. She could never do such a thing. I know that she is right, and I will fight for her. “Why did you do that?” I asked him, almost with a disgusted face. I would dis
Hailey I was in too much of a dilemma to think straight. I don’t wanna think that maybe that bastard has come again, to ruin our happiness. I can feel that he is Robert, but I never felt that it wasn’t Robert back then either! I can’t really take this risk again. I have to stay alert. I decided to first make sure that he is Robert. Or, I will believe him if he just tells me why he was not shocked. There has to be a reason because I thought he would freak out. I sat down on the couch and again all the thoughts came to mind. But if Robert is John, then I just sent John to find Summer! he can hurt her and take advantage of her pregnancy! I was suddenly scared and thought of warning Summer. I called her. As expected, she didn’t pick up. I don’t know. I don’t wanna hurt or betray Robert because I suspect him of being John! I groaned in frustration. Fine, I will deal with Alex. I called him and he picked it up. h
HaileyI couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. I could be hallucinating, but I really didn’t remember drinking any alcohol from the morning.“Max!?” the words came out, and even my own mind told me to stop hallucinating. This has to be just a dream.But I saw him get up and come to me, standing a few steps away from me. “Mrs. Hailey” his tone was quite warm, and not robotic.His voice was the same, leaving goosebumps all over my body. This wasn’t possible, was it? He died, right? They even found his body and the letter--“Woah you--” I involuntarily stopped myself from exclaiming or reacting. This was Alex’s house and this all might be some of his plans. I don’t wanna fall for any traps.He might not be the real Max.He sighed. “I know it is difficult to believe--”“Who are you?” I asked straight away, cutting him
Hailey I turned to Alex at Max’s words. “A confession?” I asked him. He sighed. “yeah” “What is it?” I asked, and he sighed more. “Well, you know, you should go and find Summer” “Don’t tell me that you did this purposefully” I said in a really strict tone. “Just don’t”“There was a reason…” he whispered. “The child wasn’t safe--” “You know what?” I cut him in between and made a disgusting face. “I… I hate you for this. How can you do this to her? Couldn’t you have just told her the truth? I-- you are unbelievable!” I laughed pathetically. he looked ashamed, but there was nothing that could be done now, no matter how ashamed he was! “and Max” I turned to him. “I am glad you are back but I really can’t believe it is you” He wanted to say something, but held it back and nodded. “I understand. Maybe you will believe it soon…”I nodded. “maybe” I wanted to go out, but I had
Hailey“Shh, tell me what happened?” I asked her, but she couldn’t even stop crying. I hugged her tight.“It is okay, I am here”She stopped after five minutes and sighed. She was still sobbing, but wiped her tears and looked at me. “You know…” she whispered and I raised an eyebrow.“Yeah?”“I… I was…” she sighed. “i need to go to a hospital”I was shocked, but didn’t delay. She was too calm right now, as if she was just hiding something.I nodded and went to the car and asked her to sit down. I decided to drive her to the hospital, while Robert could just follow us in his car.I made sure to drive fast and safely.“What’s wrong?” I asked her, my eyes concentrated on the road.“I… I
SummerI was really glad after hearing the news, but that voice made my heart bitter.I looked up, my hand tightened in a fist.He looked at me with innocent and guilty eyes. Those eyes have always melted me, but now, all I hear when I look at him is, ‘just a prostitute’.I will never forgive him.“Summer…” he whispered. Even my name from his mouth sounded like an abusive word. “How’s the child…?”I couldn’t believe he asked that.I couldn’t believe he had the audacity to ask that after everything.My face tensed up and my fists tightened. So much anger wasn’t good for me, but I couldn't help it.He looked at my fist and then at me, quite scared. “See, Summer…”“If you don’t want me to have a misc
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
