Two ladies with striking resemblance cross path. Julianne Crawford is tired of living as a submissive wife in her in-laws house. Her plan to escape coincided with the charity event where Quiva, a typical and cunning pickpocket attended with the aim to steal. She bumped into Julliane while she was trying to escape. Unknowingly, her phone had fallen and Quiva had picked it up as one of her ‘godsent’ gift to her. As she tried to leave the event, she met Mrs Crawford who said some derogatory words at her and called her ‘Julliane’. Quiva did not understand what was happening but she played along, thinking another jackpot had been scored, not knowing that something worse was coming for her. Quiva followed the Crawfords back to their house, assuming her position as their son’s wife, Julliane Crawford. She pretended to be Julliane to steal money and stymied the lives of the Crawfords until they learned to accept her. While she thought her dream had finally been fulfilled - a life living in wealth. An enemy from the past was rising to return, ruining her entire plan. However, as Quiva spends more time living as Julliane, she begins to develop feelings for her husband and struggles with the guilt of lying to everyone around her. Meanwhile, the real Julliane has started a new life, free from the constraints of her old one, but she can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. As the two women's paths continue to cross, secrets are revealed and loyalties are tested. Will Quiva be able to come clean and confess her deception to the Crawfords and her husband, or will she lose everything she's gained in her new life? And what will happen to Julliane, who has been living in the shadow all along?
View MoreCHAPTER 4 - CULLEN’S POV - Walking down the corridor and into the garden, with my hands tucked inside my pants pocket. After a long day at work and getting home to meet none of my family at home, I choose to spend the rest of my day in the garden, to get some fresh air. A thought flashed through my mind like a bolt of lightning, causing my stomach to clench with sudden dread. Could it be that I had missed the event? I racked my brain, trying to remember if there was anything I was supposed to do if Mom might not be able to cover up. As my anxiety mounted, I felt a bit relaxed to know that there was nothing Mom could not do.There was no time to waste - if I could still make it to the event, I needed to know right away. I brought out my hand from my pocket to check the time from my wristwatch and the time read five O'Clock. Meaning, the event must have ended an hour ago."I know my mom must have found a reason to cover up for me, even though I wasn't there when I was supposed to b
QUIVA’S POV - I kept eyeing the gold watch on the supposed Mrs. Crawford's wrist as I quietly trailed behind her. She kept making gesture as she speak and I can't help the blush that creeped up my face, I almost cried at the thought of the gold watch that's going to be mine soon.“You’ll have to explain to me what made you did that once we get to the mansion.” the old hag kept nagging as we made our way out of the hall.I was still eyeing the thousands of dollars that the old hag wrapped on her wrist in the name of watch, that I didn't know when she had stopped walking.“You give a reply when I'm talking to you, where the hell is your manner, Julianne?” the old hag snapped at me, interrupting my fantasy.“Okay, I'll do as you said, Mrs. Crawford.” I groaned angrily, why can't she just leave the fuck me alone? “Can't she just take a clue that I'm not in the mood to exchange words with her” I mumbled to myself.“Really?” I was too angry that I didn't notice the fury in her eyes. “Mrs.
QUIVA’S POVI took a deep breath and steeped into the grand hall, my heels clicking against the marble floor. The room was already filled with people dressed in designer gowns and tuxedos, sipping wine and nibbling on different chops watering snacks.I glanced around the hall, searching for a spot to seat and my gaze landed on an empty table at the far end of the hall. I stylishly made my way to the table and took a sit on one of the decorated stool that surrounded the table. I called out to a server as soon as I settled down and she walked up to me in no time. She handed me a glass of drink with a smile on her face.“Thank you,” I flashed out a nervous smile to the server who wouldn't stop eyeing my hair, I understand that my red curls stood out among the crowd but did she need to make it seems obvious? “Is there something on my head?” I scoffed, obviously getting irritated by her gaze.The server shook her head negatively with an annoying smile on her face. I dismissed her with a wa
QUIVA’S POV My red curls dangled on my back as I scurried out of the store with a package bag in my hand. “That’s the Lady, don't let her get away with that bag.” I heard the shopkeeper yell from the shop which made me halt on my track.“Wait, did she see me!” I half yelled as I saw some men in uniforms trotting out of the store with their heavy boots hitting hard against the tiled floor.“Shit!” I clenched tight at the package and hastily hide my slender figure behind a parked car in the front yard of the building next to the store. I had no time to survey the building and I was greatly appreciative that no one was in the yard.Upon getting outside, I peeked from my hidden spot and saw the men looking everywhere but not at my side and I sighed with relief. I stood on my toes and tried to find a route of escape. After I had found a walkway that leads to outside I moved my gaze back to the compound, looking for the men but they were nowhere to be found.“Guess who got tired and retur
Julianne Crawford stood by the window, staring at the tickets in her hand. She sighed for the nth time and then shoved the tickets inside her cloth pocket which was tightly guarded by the flare dress she was wearing. She muttered some prayers, and then gazed at her room for a while, feeling nostalgic all of a sudden. Tears brewed in her eyes as she recounted the fact that today will be the last day she would be living in it. Why is she leaving? Well, Julianne Crawford recounted her life story. She was a submissive wife, with a husband whom she didn't love and vice versa and she was tired of living in Crawford mansion that was filled with hatred. The marriage with Cullen Crawford was not one of love, instead, it was some sort of arrangement between her family and Crawford as she was sold into the family without her consent. Her duty was to be the perfect wife and give birth (she has not given birth to any child luckily for her), and she was tired of all this. Today is the day she was
