THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise Chapter Twenty Eight
* *Three Months Later* *My belly is starting to show, I'm four months pregnant now. Hillary and Maria helped with the nausea, while Hill made me healthy food, Maria baked me special biscuits that took away the nausea. She said it was her mom's recipe and it helped with her nausea period too.She's now eight months pregnant and the ultrasound confirmed it's a girl, she seems so happy about that fact alone and so is Darien, I'm sure he'll make her a daddies girl. Maria is a fashionista and i know she can't wait to dress her little girl in ribbons, butterflies and fluffy.It so happens that Darien and Maria knew about me and Lore's issues,except the abortion, which i willingly told Maria about. I expected them all to hate me but it's actually the opposite, they all want to take care of me. I'm sure they're doing this because of the baby, Lore's precious gem.The front door opens and the men's voices filter through, we are all at Darien and Marias house. Lore and I have an understanding
THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise Chapter Twenty Nine
LISAFive months down the line, my belly is full out showing now, no one can miss it, so i spend my days away from the public eye as much as i can.When I brought up the idea of maybe going to another town where people don't really know me, Lore slammed the idea right out of my head with a big fat NO. his exact words were,"No. Not a chance, I'm not missing a single day without making sure my child is okay and healthy."The said 'no' came out with a finally that made me immediately back down even though I had previously talked myself into standing my ground on the idea.My eyes meet Asah's in the mirror. I'm in a long black dress that falls loose around my whole body and flat fancy silver shoes. I need to get some air and the only place where I can do that is away from this house, If I do as much as spend another day in here, I might go crazy."I don't think this is a good idea miss, sir Lore is going to be extremely angry when he finds out you left town without informing him."I sigh

LISALore rudely cuts the call on him and bores holes into my eyes with his scorching greys."What does he fucking mean, by 'cancelling your trip'?"He makes sure I hear the stress on the word 'mean'.When I don't answer, his jaw clenches."Where you planning on running away?"Before I answer, Darien's voice is as strained as Lore's when he addresses Maria."And you were planning on helping her fucking do it?" He turns to her and I watch as her lips part without any words coming out of them. Our eyes meet and we both know that we're totally screwed."Darien, I was just trying to help her out while making sure she was safe, at least one of us should know where she'll be.""One of us 'should know'? 'where she'll be'?" Lore turns his attention to Maria before settling back on me."There's no more 'should' or 'she'll be', because she's definitely not going anywhere."He grabs my wrist and takes me out of the room. Hillary and Asah follow us out,closing the door behind them."What the hel

LORELisa has been impossible. For the past one month, the two of us have been dancing around the same rope of fire and...desire, I see it in her eyes, in the way she trembles when i touch her while i feed her or brush my thumb over her lips. At first, I thought I was imagining things but I wasn't. Maria was right, she needed time to feel the baby grow inside of her, to move and attach to her and it's happening. I often catch her rubbing her belly and smiling to herself, but I never for a second miss the fear when she realizes what she's doing, at least i wont have to worry about fearing to tell my child that his or her mother didn't want or love them.I can't put my child through that heartbreak, I was ready to make sure I made he or her feel special and that the absence of a mother doesn't mean they are not loved by many or something is wrong with them. That simmer of care I've seen in Mona towards the baby gave me hope, hope to fight for her to be there for our child even if we d
THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise Chapter Thirty Two
LISAI can't even begin to explain the pain I felt when that woman called my baby a trap, I know I'm overreacting but that's just how I've been ever since I got pregnant. My feelings have been too high, too obvious and too hard to control. When she touched Lore, I felt an invisible hand wrapping around my heart and squeezing it as if almost to pull it out of my chest, I wanted her off him, away from him. I hate her. I hate her so much. He kisses me and I don't hesitate, I wrap my hands around his neck, drowning, falling and giving in to the kiss. I can't keep lying to myself, I can't keep hurting when I can let go, when i can be happy, when i can live, finally live. I have feelings for this man, feelings that burn like an inferno inside my whole body, if I don't let it out it'll burn me from the inside until it eventually kills me. We pull apart, our foreheads resting against each other as we draw in shallow breaths. My shaky hands go to the back of his neck and I swallow. "

LISA We both lay in bed in complete silence, relishing in the peace and happiness that we've finally found after so many hardships and heart wrecking processes.My head rests on the left side of his chest, listening to the steady beating of his heart while my hand rests on the right side of his chest. His hand runs light patterns on my bare shoulder and I nuzzle further into him. Finally deciding to break the silence, I sigh."When I saw her with you back there, touching you, I felt something I've never felt before."He pauses for a few seconds then continues drawing patterns on my shoulder, I know that I have his full attention, so i continue."It was a mixture of both jealousy and fear. I've never felt it so strong, I was scared that you had finally moved on with someone else."I place my arms on his chest and flatten my palms there, leaning my chin on the back of my hands, watching his face. His eyes watch me slowly, tracing every part of my face."No one will ever replace you, b

LORE *Two Months Later* To say things have changed would be an understatement. My life has taken a huge right ever since that night Mona confessed her feelings to me. Hearing her say that she loved me brought me a feeling I'd never felt In my entire life. All the pain I endured during the first year of this marriage and the months that followed after were pure misery. There's nothing as miserable as loving someone unconditionally who doesn't love you even one bit. The surprise on everyone's faces when Mona entered the room and placed a kiss on my lips was proof that our relationship was a fucking mess. The relief which replaced the surprise was a show of a silent "Lord thank you," and "Finally." Mona is now eight months pregnant, in two weeks, she'll be nine months pregnant. The thought of seeing my son come into this world and to hold him in my arms is a feeling I'm looking forward to. My wife and my son are my world, everything I do is for them, everything revolves around them
THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise Chapter Thirty Five
LISA * *Three Weeks Later* * Well, here I am, getting tired If I move around for more than twenty minutes."How did you even manage walking around so much at nine months? Had I known it was this tiring, I wouldn't have put you through all that vacation stress."Now that I look back at that moment, I always laugh, gosh! What was I thinking?Maria's baby is now five months old, she's so beautiful with her round blue eyes and soft big cheeks. Hillary is obsessed with the beautiful little human being, she keeps bringing new baby stuff every week.We're at Hillary's house in the lounging room which gives view to the beautiful backyard garden. Flynn, Lore and Darien are at the back, talking about god knows what and smoking. The glass window gives us the perfect view of where they are standing. "I swear to God I hope they are not talking about work stuff." Hillary narrows her eyes."Nah... I don't think so," Maria chimes in. "Had that been the case, I'm sure they'd all have frowns,scowl

LORE Pain, Betrayal. Those are the two feelings that hit me the most as I look at the woman who means the world to me in another man's arms. "What the-" Mona's body turns rigid at the sound of my voice. She uses force to push him away and they break apart. Silas doesn't look the least bothered, if anything, he seems even glad that I found them. My wife on the other hand, has fear engraved deep inside her blue eyes. "Lore," she pants. "It's not what you think." I bark out a bitter laugh that has her flinching. I point between the two of them. "Yeah, it sure isn't," I say sarcastically. "My wife was up against the wall eating faces with another man and it's not what I think." She shakes her head with tears running down her cheeks, my eyes go to her lips and her red lipstick is smeared, my lips twisted in disgust. "I didn't kiss him back, I was trying to push him away, I swear." My eyes find Silas, he meets me head in with his, accomplishment shining in them. Before I can sto
THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise Chapter Forty Four
LORE I trust my wife, the fact that she was acting weird didn't make me doubt her one bit, it just made me worried. The trembling of her body, the thrashing in the middle of the night and mostly, fear in her eyes. I want to believe it's more because of what said about her sister being abused, but there's something more to it, something that makes me feel as though it has to do with me. I came to that conclusion after her asking me if I would forgive her lying to me, while we were married. Could it be because of Silas? Will she confirm cheating on me? I sigh and slam the laptop shut, I stand and walk to the tall glass window and place my hands inside my trousers pockets.Suspecting she was cheating and confirming she was are two different things, especially if the words come straight from her own mouth. There's an event we have to attend tomorrow evening, the governor himself invited us, the one running the event is my mother in law. Another fundraising, this time it's specifical

LISA Finally, there's news about Mona, street cameras showed a blue and red bike with a tiger dented on the side, the exact description of the type of bike Asah saw Mona get on the day she ran away from her own wedding. Turns out, they're a very notorious motorcycle club. They're also suspects in female prostitution, robbery and drugs distribution, the police have never found any solid evidence on them, that's why they are still roaming around freely. This information makes me more worried and nervous, what if he's forced her into prostitution. The thought alone has bile rising up my throat. Damnit, Mona. The fact that we know these people's information is enough for uncle to do a private investigation himself, we need to keep outside people away from this as much as possible. Aunt Mandy is a government detective, her involvement will make things easy because of her resources, so her and uncle are doing everything they can without pulling in the government. My phone pings, I ope

LISA Today, I'm on full mommy duty. I smile at Adrian who's smiling back at me in the baby chair. I walk to him with a bowl of cereal. "Who's a good boy?" I smile when he lifts his hands towards the bowl. I sit in front of him and feed him, my phone rings immediately I finish feeding Adrian. An unknown number flashes on the screen, I frown and put my phone on silent. I don't pick up calls from unknown numbers, I never used to back then and that habit has heightened ever since i got married to Lore. The screen blares again with the same number, I don't answer it again, a text follows. Unknown number: Lislis, it's me. Lislis? My heart beats like I just ran a marathon. I'm about to call the number again when an incoming call comes. I quickly hit answer without wasting a single moment. "Hello? Mona?" I get to my feet. I hear panting, not a good type of painting, the 'i'm in pain', type of painting. "Mona, speak to me, please!" I say in a panic. She whimpers an

LORE I was busy trying to finish up something when my phone rang with Hillary's name flashing on the screen, she was speaking fast until i asked her to breathe and slow down. Apparently, there was a mad driver who almost hit her and Mona. My heart almost tore out of my chest at the mention of my wife being in danger, then she said there seemed something off about the whole situation and my brain went on high alert. "That's the thing Lore," Hillary speaks with her voice surrounded by shock and fear. "I don't think it was by accident, that car was really aiming for Mona." I run my hand over my face as I walk to the glass window in my office with my shoulders tense, I feel like someone is weighing me down by putting bricks on them. "Are you sure?" "A hundred percent, Lore." "How's Mona?" Hillary says she isn't hurt but that doesn't tune down the worry I feel right now. "She's just shaky but don't worry about her too much, I'm taking her home. I didn't tell her my suspic

LISA I stand with my hands crossed over my chest, biting my bottom lip while rolling my teeth into it's cushion. "Lisa." His familiar voice calls out my name. I turn around and his eyes search my face. When he's sure of whatever he wanted to see, he smiles and storms my way, wrapping me in a tight embrace. He sucks in a deep breath,sniffs my hair and sighs. This hug used to mean so much to me during my first days and early weeks of marriage, but now...now it just feels so wrong. I gently push away from him. "Hey," i give him a small smile while putting a distance between us without being too obvious. "Hey, I was so worried about you, you just went mute all of the sudden." "I'm okay, I'm sorry I just shut down on you. A lot was going on." "I see." He takes a step closer and places his hand on my cheek in a very intimate way then says, "I missed you so much Lisa." I tense and step away, his hand drops from my face and he frowns. "What's wrong?" I lick my lips ou

LORE * *Two Weeks Later* * I move away from Mona and throw my legs off the bed. I place my elbows on my knees and look at her over my shoulder. "Are you sure it's okay?" asking for probably the thousandth time. She rolls her eyes and sighs, leaning up on her elbows, she pushes her hair off her face. "Babe, I already told you the doctor said it's perfectly fine, it's been six weeks. I'm ready for this." Mona and I haven't had sex since she gave birth, after a month, i would get her off with my fingers, but apparently it wasn't enough because the more the sex was held off, the more hornier she got. She might have thought she was ready for sex but she wasn't, i doubt if she is right now, i don't want to risk it, hurting her for pleasure is not something I'm going to bet on. When I

LISA I wake up to an empty bed early in the morning. The bedside clock reads 7:06 pm. I groan into the pillow and then stretch. My phone blares with a message, I unlock the screen and see a message from mama. Mama dearest: Goodmorning sweetie, I hope you and Lore are doing okay, your dad and i are find. Say hi to my grandson and give him a kiss. Love, mom and dad. I smile, my mother is a woman of little words, she's more of a phone call person than texting. I reply and hit send. Me: We're okay, I love you too. I turn around and my hand meets something on the bed, I sit up and lift the envelope. There are words typed on the outside. TO THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE TO ME IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. I open it with a quick beating of my heart, I feel like my heart and my whole world stops all together. This is the famous High Restaurant he owns in the middle of London. The restaurant which became my favourite eating place. There's been a change of name for the restaurant from

LISA The room falls silent and I feel like I can hear the sound of my own heart beating inside my chest. "Mona...I would never do that to you, I can't believe you'd even ask me that. I hadn't spoken to Laura ever since Lore engaged you, she was mad at me for the whole thing, she cut me off and just appeared months ago." I meet her eyes, I believe her, so I turn to the witch herself. "How did you find out?" Lore asks. "Fine, you want to know? I overhead Hillary when she was relating all the stupid details to her little friend over there, I must say, she cursed you a lot Mona." That makes sense, but I also know what she's trying to do, turn me against Maria. I understand how they all felt, I hurt Lore and I deserved everything that was said by everyone in the heat of anger. "I know my friends Laura, you won't turn me against them, I know I messed up, I accepted that and the conseq
