She's No Beauty Queen He's Going To Kill You!
The kidnapper listened to a CD all the way back to (what Lily assumed was) Monterey. The normalcy of the action surprised her. Crazy people were still people, after all.It was terribly uncomfortable lying on her side with all the bumping and whatnot for two whole hours. She spent the entire time going back and forth between worrying about how this would turn out and wondering what Angel was like in person.Allowing herself to be kidnapped was one heck of a way to introduce herself to her identical twin. It would probably make quite an impression and not necessarily the one she wanted to make.Lily desperately tried not to think of the alternative. Getting there to find her dead already. At least Eddie and Aria would have a body to bury that way but she still didn’t want to think of it.Angel had to be alive. All of her gut feelings couldn’t be wrong.This was going to work and she was going to make it home in time for dinner. Because if it didn’t…her mom was going to bring her back f

Shaking with fear or perhaps from a lack of medication for this long, Angel began singing as silent tears streamed down her face. She looked so freaked out that Lily instinctively reached out and squeezed her hand.She clung to it like a lifeline and was able to finish her song. It was amazing how much her singing voice sounded like Lily’s but they weren’t exactly the same. She briefly wondered if this psycho would even be able to tell them apart.Lily sang the song next and continued allowing her twin to squeeze her hand as she trembled. Her grip was surprisingly strong considering how long she had been locked up in here with who knew how little food.The kidnapper was obviously confused by how much they sounded alike and began arguing with himself. Angel’s shaking grew worse and Lily wrapped her arms protectively around her. She seemed like she was about to break apart.“I’ve got you. It’s okay. You’re going to go home,” she murmured into her twin’s ear.That only made her cry harde

Lily, who was helping Mark tie the man on the floor up with a bit of difficulty since he was getting some movement back, managed to see the exact moment their eyes locked. Eddie didn’t even seem to notice the cage or the fact that his fiancée looked like a train wreck. All he cared about was the fact that she was alive and in one piece.He drank in the sight of her with an intensity that could rival the sun’s, frozen in time for a moment. She was frozen too with utter disbelief written all over her face.“Eddie,” Angel whispered as if he was the most wonderful thing she had ever seen in her life. The moment broke and he rushed forward into the cage and got on his knees before wrapping her in a desperate embrace.“Angel! I thought I’d lost you!” Eddie cried.Her tears, which had stopped briefly when she realized the man on the ground wasn’t going to come after her again and help had come, flowed freely but they were tears of relief this time. She hugged him back just as tightly and bur

The police arrived before Lily could say anything else and started asking all sorts of questions. Mark pretended to be a Good Samaritan who just so happened to be at the same race as her and panicked after seeing her get shoved into a car as he was already sitting in his in the same parking structure.She told the version of the story as an EMT from the ambulance outside worked on stitching her arm as if her act was real so the creep couldn’t refute it. He had already been taken into custody by some of the other police officers.With any luck, the police would take anything he might have to say about Angel as the psychotic ramblings of a lunatic. After all, Lily did look exactly the same.It was highly likely they would view his actions as some sort of sick substitution for the real object of his obsession. She had heard of people committing crimes like that before; apparently, it was pretty common for that sort of thing to happen.The EMT had done everything that needed to be done on

Angelina blinked at him in surprise. What were the odds that they would both end up missing at the same time? He seemed like he was telling the truth but she wanted to hear Lily’s version of the story anyway.“And playing me?” she prompted.“I had to stick to our deal,” Eddie said as if it was obvious. “I didn’t want you to get in trouble with the pageant people but using Lily was Mark’s idea. I’m sorry about that too…but it ended up working in our favor because it was how we got you back.”That still didn’t make sense. Why would he care about her not getting in trouble with the organizers? Was he that much of a stickler for the contract? But it didn’t specify anything like this in case of emergencies. All he was supposed to do was be her sponsor.“Why did you go to so much effort to help my career?” Angelina asked, confused. Her head hurt from all the questions and crying too much earlier.“Because—”He was cut off because they had arrived at the house and as they were getting out of

Angelina stayed securely in Eddie’s embrace for several minutes, almost believing that things were going to be okay. She could count the times she had been hugged by anyone other than Aria on her hands and it had never felt as comforting as his did today. Probably because she needed the physical reminder that she was home and out of that cage.“Mommy sad?” Aria asked as she walked into the room and saw her crying.“I think giving Mommy another hug would make her happy again,” Eddie told her as he stepped away to let her do it.Of course, Angelina loved Aria’s hugs more than anything but she felt oddly bereft being out of his arms for some reason. It might be because he was taller than her and could wrap her up securely in a way the toddler couldn’t.She ended up carrying her daughter into the living room so they could watch that movie together. Aria snuggled up against her happily but, to her surprise, Eddie chose to sit next to her instead of sitting on Aria’s other side.He seemed t
Last Updated : 2024-12-19She's No Beauty Queen What I Wanted To Say
Angelina’s heart stuttered in her chest. She had been too terrified to think much of it at the time but hadn’t Lily said something about Eddie being completely out of it after realizing she was gone? And that he was upset enough to actually break something once he realized she had been kidnapped?If she was telling the truth, it went along with the dark circles under his eyes and what he just said. But how could he be that upset about her being gone when they weren’t even friends?“I don’t understand,” she admitted. “Why would you be that worried about me?”Eddie sighed again and mumbled something under his breath that she couldn’t hear. She frowned. “Could you repeat that? I didn’t hear what you said.”“This probably isn’t the best time to talk about it. You’re tired and stressed so try to sleep right now, okay? I can tell you tomorrow. I’ve been meaning to talk to you about it anyway.”A cryptic statement like that made it even less likely that she was going to be able to sleep. “Me

Angelina had been completely overloaded with information and could not compute. Her thoughts were as frenzied as they had been while she was left alone for hours at a time in that cage.Eddie was in love with her all this time?! Everything else he said paled in comparison to this unbelievable claim. She couldn’t believe it because it meant that everything she had thought about him over the past more than three years was wrong.He cared about her more than he cared about their daughter? She hadn’t been solely a human incubator? He wanted her for her personality?No one had ever complimented her on her sense of humor. Complete strangers complimented her all the time but it was always about how ‘beautiful’ or ‘talented’ or ‘brave’ she was for living with her illness.Angelina wasn’t brave at all. Look how she had fallen apart earlier today while Lily had to do all of the work to stall for time until help arrived.The unique compliments on both her sense of humor and how insightful she wa

She's No Beauty Queen Incredibly Grateful
Lily and Mark had a small simple wedding at a garden venue. Angel convinced her to let her apply light makeup for the occasion with the rationalization that she would only be getting married once. It did make her stand out in the pictures so she supposed that was something.All of their friends and her family were there to support them. Aria was the most adorable flower girl ever and her nephew Hunter was the ring bearer. Angel was the matron of honor and Randi and Genevieve were her other bridesmaids. Mark’s best man was Eddie and two of his bowling friends rounded out the wedding party.They went on their honeymoon to Hawaii where they took another submarine tour and hiked what felt like every inch of the island of Maui. Lily was happy but exhausted by the time they got home.Despite experiencing a major life event, not much changed in terms of work or their general schedules for another year when she got pregnant with their son Damien. Her job was kind enough to let her take a year-
She's No Beauty Queen I Thought You Would Never Ask!
Lily inhaled deeply and let the smell of the salty air soak into her soul. It was impossible to worry about anything right now when she was this relaxed.“You certainly seem happy,” Mark noted with a smile as they bobbed in the water.“I am. No one ever wants to go swimming with me. Thanks, Mark. Today has been wonderful and it’s not even over yet. You spoil me too much.”“There’s nothing wrong with a little spoiling.”Lily knew it was pointless arguing with him so she let it go and closed her eyes as she floated there. The ocean was oddly tranquil today. There were hardly any waves at all, which was perfect for swimming.She wasn’t sure how long they stayed in the water like that enjoying the quiet and each other’s company but, eventually, they headed back to shore. He read a book on a towel while she took a nap and let the sun soak into her soul.When she woke up, she felt more at peace than she had in ages. Her boyfriend had planned the perfect day for her. At times like this, it w
She's No Beauty Queen That Wasn't Like Her
Lily’s ongoing struggle trying to be okay with Mark not wanting to move forward in their relationship became more difficult as time went on. On the rare occasions she tried to bring it up, he would quickly change the subject so she gave up after a while.That wasn’t like her. She was so frustrated she was ready to blow a gasket but didn’t want them to fight.So she ambled along expecting nothing knowing that was all she was going to get. It didn’t help that Angel was pregnant with her second child and very excited about the fact. She would be having a boy this time and she and Eddie had already decided to name him Eli.Aria had hoped for a sister but was still looking forward to having a baby to play with even if it was a boy. She was a good kid and Lily had no doubt she would be a great big sister.As much as she looked forward to meeting her new nephew, it got her wondering if she would ever be able to have a child of her own. Her twenty-fifth birthday passed recently and Mark still
She's No Beauty Queen An Irreplacable Existence
Patience wasn’t Lily’s strong suit. Mark hoped Donovan got back to her quickly because he didn’t want to prolong this more than necessary. Mark didn’t want to ruin the surprise either though. If she knew what he was planning in advance, she might get suspicious.Thankfully, Donovan’s family was available two weeks from then. And so were two spots for what Mark was planning to take Lily to do. He booked the tickets immediately so now all he could do was wait.He already knew his girlfriend would accept his proposal but he was still anxious. Who wouldn’t be asking such a loaded question to the person that mattered to them most?At least she didn’t seem to have caught on yet. She chatted normally on their longer-than-expected drive down to L.A. due to traffic. They didn’t arrive until nearly 2 AM so it was a good thing Eileen told them where the spare key was kept in advance so they could let themselves in.An air mattress had already been set up for them. All they had to do was flop ont
She's No Beauty Queen Alright Then, Be Mysterious
Talking to Angelina about her seizure frequency being pregnant only made Mark feel worse because he knew Lily wanted multiple kids. She would be putting herself at risk more than once and he wasn’t sure he would be able to live with the anxiety. As it was, he wasn’t sure how Edward was able to do it.Maybe that was who he needed to talk to in order to ease his fears. Someone who had been in the position he would potentially find himself in twice.Mark knew that it wasn’t fair to leave Lily hanging forever. He wanted to spend his life with her, he truly did, but he needed to get his fears under control first.“How do you handle knowing your wife could have a seizure any time?” he blurted when he and Edward were in the car on their way to a meeting the day after his conversation with Angelina.He didn’t seem terribly surprised by the question. It seemed that she had told him what they talked about yesterday. “I don’t know. I guess I’m used to it by now. She did have one within five minu
She's No Beauty Queen Her Heart On Her Sleeve
They exchanged numbers and Angelina excused herself to get back to work. She should be able to focus now that she had gotten a bit of a break. It was nice knowing that at least one of her former associates was doing well these days. She hoped they were all able to find things that made them happy the way she had.Mark didn’t even look up when she came back in. He was that focused on his work. She wasn’t able to catch his attention at all until she called his name three times after finishing what she needed.“Sorry, I was in the zone. Are you ready to go?” he asked sheepishly.“Yeah. Thanks for sticking around.”Angelina felt a bit guilty to be inconveniencing him like this but at least he already knew Eddie was a worrywart when it came to her. That was why he wasn’t letting her drive on her own.He didn’t say anything until they were nearly back at her house. “Hey…um…do you always have seizures when you’re pregnant?”That was completely out of the blue. Why would he ask about that?“T
She's No Beauty Queen Small World, Isn't It?
Over time, Taylored’s customer base did grow, if not as quickly as the owners wanted it to. Genevieve and Lita got a huge order to make costumes for a local theater company’s production of The Music Man and that kept them pretty busy for a while but that wasn’t the only big thing happening.After a few months of actively trying, Angelina found herself pregnant again. It was a much happier experience this time and everyone was excited about it. Particularly Aria. She was thrilled at the prospect of having a little brother or sister because a lot of her friends had them.She asked a million and one questions about what she dubbed “our baby.” It was adorable.Though her emotional state was much better, things weren’t too different physically than they had been with Aria because she had to change her medication again and that took getting used to. At least she was planning on it in advance this time and did it before getting pregnant rather than after.She was fairly miserable but hated b
She's No Beauty Queen Me Too
Angelina had been rather busy preparing herself for the grand opening of their shop Taylored and didn’t notice her twin’s distress. Lita’s son was named Taylor so it was a sort of play on his name and the fact that they were tailors on top of designing custom clothes.By the time Genevieve graduated, everything was just about ready to go. Their grand opening was the week after and they had already gotten an impressive amount of advertising done so there should be a decent turnout. It didn’t hurt that they had a great location where they should get a lot of traffic.Having a real estate mogul for a husband could be surprisingly helpful. Before this, she never thought she would utilize his skills for finding great locations.Angelina went to the grand opening for a while since Aria was playing with Emma. Preschool was out for the summer and she missed her friends already. She was such a social little thing.She thought it went pretty well, all things considered. A lot of people came in
She's No Beauty Queen You Know I Thrive On Chaos
Genevieve caught a real break when Angel met Lita. She never would have suggested going into business otherwise but the three of them got on like a house on fire.Lily had been surprised to say the least and asked her twin about it.
