“You, .......what are ....... you doing ....... here?” Sophia asked stammering, surprised to see who was standing in front of her and she began to shiver. “Me? What am I doing here? I am here to meet my new family. Aren’t you happy to see me? Have we met before? Have I wronged you in any way before, sister-in-law?” Hillary said, feeling sad and confused by Sophia’s accusation. “Ellie? Is that you?” Daniel asked motionless, with his gaze fixed on Hillary’s face, finding it hard to believe the replica of who was standing in front of him. Hillary was a replica of Ellie. They had the same face structure, the same eyes, the same height and the same voice. No one who had had an encounter with Ellie before she died, wouldn’t have mistaken Hillary for her. “Ellie? Who is that? Are you mistaking me for someone else? My name is Hillary” Hillary said, looking more confused and trying to clarify the fact that, she was being mistaken for someone else. “What? You are faking who you are now?
Two men, who were blindfolded, were tied to the chairs. One was on a casual dress, which showed he was a middle class man, while the other was dressed in suit, putting on expensive shoes and a wristwatch, which was screaming luxury. The other man seemed to be a Scion, due to how extravagant everything he was putting on looked. Their heads hung limply, with their chins resting on their chest as they slept, tied to the chairs. Their necks were bent at an awkward angle and their hairs, which were disheveled, fell forward, partially obscuring their faces.They were in a room which looked like an abandoned place. The walls of the room were crumbled, overgrown with vines that had crept through cracked windows and broken doors. The floor of the room was coated in dust and the rusted door at the entrance of the room seemed to have been locked from outside. The two men seemed not to be aware of what was going on and where they were, as they were still soundly asleep, changing gears.While in t
As the men approached him, Clark became more engulfed with fear. He began to shiver on the chair he was tied to and tried loosing the rope which was used to tie him to the chair, hoping to escape; but there was no means of escape for him. In no time, the two men were standing in front of him and one of them stood behind him, pressing his body to sit still on the chair, so they could carry out their boss’ instruction. Clark tried wringing out of the guy’s hold but his strength was no match to his. The other hefty man knelt in front of Clark and began to unbuckle his belt, with Ellie sitting still, putting on a satisfying look. It was at that moment, it drawn on Clark that Ellie meant business. Realizing he was about losing what made him to be called a man within seconds, he knew he had to find a way to save himself. And then, a plan struck his mind.“Wait!!!! I have something important to say” Clark yelled out of the blue, making the men halt in their actions.“There is something impor
Just as she had instructed, Clark’s manhood was cut off and he was beaten to the point that his spinal cord got broken. Ellie never wanted to get anyone’s blood on her hands and so Clark was dropped in front of a nearby hospital to receive medical care and for his life to be saved. As Ellie drove away that night with her mind reeling with betrayal and hurt, a call came in and it was no one other than Richard who had called. “Hello” Ellie had said, upon parking by the roadside and picking up his call. “Where are you?” Richard asked, sounding concerned. “I am on my way home right now. I had a business to take care of” she responded, sounding down with no zeal to engage in a conversation. “Are you sure you are fine? You are sounding somehow. Hope you are good?” he asked, upon noticing her voice wasn’t as vibrant as it used to be. “Yes, I am. Why did you call?’ she queried, wanting to shift his attention away from her. “I have something important to talk to you about. Let’s talk abo
“Hello, Edward. It’s nice meeting you once again. The first time we met, I wasn’t able to introduce myself due to the show your wife had put on that day. Now that we have met again, I think it’s necessary I introduce myself properly” Hillary (Ellie) said, ignoring Sophia, who was fuming with anger and her gaze fixed on her.“I am Hillary, your brother’s wife to be. I hope we have a good relationship together as time goes” Hillary said, stretching her hand forth to shake Edward.“It’s nice meeting you too and I also hope we have a good relationship together like you had said” Edward said, smiling at Hillary, while taking her hand. Just as he shook her hand, he felt her hold quite familiar and a scene flashed across his eyes; a scene of him shaking a lady in a club whose face he didn’t see. He closed his eyes, trying hard to remember the scene that had just flashed before him and see the face of the lady he shook but the more he tried, the more his head ached. When he couldn’t handle th
“You know that’s not possible” Daniel replied, stating that what Richard had requested for wasn’t possible.“I know that’s exactly what you would say. You have never really cared about me. Do you even love me at all? Why do you love him more than me? Is it because I am a bastard born out of wedlock? I shouldn’t even be surprised. What did I expect from a man who chose the company over the woman he claimed he loved and her child? It’s no doubt he is your offspring, which is why he also abandoned the woman he publicly confessed he was in love with and his unborn child. A dog can never give birth to a goat” Richard, who was now standing spilled, facing Edward with disgust on his face. The room became tensed and both Sophia and Daniel became uneasy as they thought the truth they had kept away from Edward was about getting revealed. Edward was lost and confused, as that was the second person accusing him of abandoning his woman and his unborn child.“What do you mean by that? This is the s
The family picture was taken and they all headed to their various homes. As Edward drove home that day, he was lost in a deep thought with his mind reeling with betrayal and hurt. He kept thinking about the conversation he had stumbled on. Earlier that day when Sophia had excused herself to use the restroom, Edward had followed her so they could continue their unfinished conversation in the restroom as he really wanted to know what Sophia was hiding from him. But upon getting to the entrance of the restroom, he had heard the voices of Richard and Sophia, engaged in a conversation. He at first wanted to turn around and leave but when he heard Sophia yelled in frustration, he decided to eavesdrop and find out what was going on. What he heard shocked him and made him shivered.“Austin is Hillary’s child? Hillary is Ellie? I and Ellie were once together?” Edward questioned himself, surprised and at the same time confused by what he had heard. When he noticed Richard was about exiting the r
"Who are you? How did you know my name?" Hillary asked, swiftly getting up from where she was seated, engulfed by fear and worries. She expected to get a response from Natalia, but she didn't. Instead, Natalia's eyes were fixed on her, looking at her intently as if trying to scrutinize her to get answers to some unanswered questions running through her mind."Am I dreaming? Is it that I am mistaken? Am I just reading too much meaning to the birth mark? Maybe she has the same birth mark as hers? She can't be her. I was told she died in that fire 15 years ago. But if they have the same birth mark, could they also have the same name too?" Natalia thought over and over in head, while shaking it, trying to make herself believe that she was mistaken but at the same time, she had the fear that the reality she didn't want to accept was standing right in front of her. Her gaze was still fixed on Hillary, with contradicting thoughts running through her mind, which made Hillary uncomfortable."Th
