"Shit! Shit! Shit!”

Lily became frantic as she thought of what to do quick and fast.

“He cannot see me like this,” Lily said to herself.

“Ashley!” Christopher’s enraged voice reached Lily in the room again.

This time around, the voice was closer, and for Lily to hear the pounding of his footsteps against the stairs, she knew that he was enraged, and that was when Lily remembered that she had actually stepped out with one of Christopher’s securities who she never came back with.

In fact, after Don Grander was done hitting her, threatening her, and ensuring that she never did anything that would jeopardize their chances of getting what they wanted from Christopher, Lily had had to jump a bus to get back to the house. It wasn’t a big deal for her, because all her life, when she wasn’t walking, she was jumping buses. Anyway, Lily had ensured that she bowed her head low enough so that no one would recognize her, because that would be more dangerous.

“What do I do now?” Lily asked hersel

    After the agreement, Christopher grudgingly left.Lily knew that he was dying to have the discussion of her whereabouts that day, but he could not, because there was nothing he would have said that would have made Lily opened the door for him. Her face was still battered and swollen.Lily took the ice pack and placed it on her face. She sat on the bedroom couch and tried to close her eyes so that the ice pack would be able to work its magic, but then again, her head started banging. She could not tell if Don Grander had done any real damage to her head, especially internally, because she could not feel any blood, but the pain was so excruciating that it caused a dull headache at the center of Lily’s head. Lily used the intercom in the bedroom to ring Maggie.“Get me some painkillers for my banging head,” Lily said into the phone.In less than five minutes, Maggie arrived with some painkillers. Without turning to face her, Lily said, “Just drop it where you are and leave.”But Maggie h

    “Excuse me?” Lily asked, stupefied.For a moment, she had lost herself and forgotten whom she was supposed to be impersonating. In fact, she was about to say that they had never met before it booted in Lily’s head that she actually called Ashley, not Lily.The lady cleared her throat and said loudly, “Um, I was complimenting your makeup.”Christopher didn’t hear what she had said the first time, because she had whispered the words into Lily’s ears alone, so when she lied and said she was just paying a compliment, Christopher looked at Lily’s face, and in that moment, Lily felt scrutinized under Christopher’s gaze, almost making her uncomfortable. She feared that he was going to see her bruised cheeks, and even know that she was struggling with a bad headache with the way he stared at her, but instead, he ended his stare with a look of irritation and disgust. Fortunately, he reserved that look for Lily alone, so no one else in the living room knew that he was giving her a bad look. In

    Ashley, two nights before your wedding, you were found at a nude club, why?” The words rang in Lily’s ears; she could not believe what she was hearing, neither did she understand fully what was going on. If Rosa said two nights before the wedding, then it meant that it was probably the night that Ashley had been found dea.Christopher had not only been shocked, he was also enraged, so much so that he jolted out of his seat in a rage.“What is the meaning of this?!” Christopher charged at Rosa.Rosa got up in fear and she staggered back, trying to get away from Christopher’s wrath. “That question wasn’t part of the questions Aimee sent to my mail that you were going to be asking, so what is the meaning of the damn question?!” Christopher barked.“I am so sorry, Mr. Bridger,” Rosa apologized. She probably did not expect that Christopher would react angrily to her question, and for a moment, Lily thought that Christopher might know something about it, and if that was the case, then Li

    Lily began to shake dreadfully.“Don’t you dare bring that game on me, Ashley, because if I have to choke out the words from you, I will,” Christopher threatened harshly.“I have no idea what she was talking about,” Lily answered.She was being honest, because in truth, she had no idea what happened that night, because she never even knew that that night had existed, but the good thing was that Christopher would not read meaning to her words.Instead, Christopher stared at Lily; a worried expression on his face.Lily was confused, because she could not tell why Christopher was looking at her with such expression. He was supposed to be mad with rage and forcing her to explain as he threatened, but instead, he was more worried than confused.“What is it? Lily had to ask.Christopher stared curiously at Lily for some seconds before he said, “Nothing.”Nothing? Lily could hardly believe it. Now, Christopher was acting all weird and strange, and she could not fathom what was going on. “Yo

    It was the weekend and Christopher knew that he shouldn’t be at work, but he just couldn’t help himself. Not that he had work to do, but Ashley Grander kept giving him reasons to doubt her.“Something is not right with her,” Christopher said to himself as he sat on his swivel chair and pondered on everything that had happened.Then recently, after she had mysteriously disappeared and reappeared, she had been wearing this heavy makeup that had made her look funny in a way; it just didn’t sit right on her face. Christopher checked his expensive wristwatch again and waited. When he arrived at the office, he had also called Aimee Landon to show up at the company as well. Aimee arrived just about that time, making Christopher relieved.“Mr. Christopher, I am here,” Aimee said as she entered Christopher’s office.Christopher felt as though he was seeing Aimee in a casual outfit for the first time, but then again, he could not recall seeing her in anything other than her official outfits.

    Lily had been feeling sick ever since she got back from the baseball game. She just could not shake off the feeling that not only did she see Don Grander there, but he shook hands with Joe.He shook hands with Joe!If anything happened to Lily’s brother, Lily would die. She literally lived for her brother, because he was all she had got, but now, more than ever, Don Grander had made her understand that he was capable of ending Joe’s life in a second. Lily thought that hitting her and grabbing her hair were all the threat and warning that she was going to get from Don Grander. She had no idea that he was going to get Joe involved. Lily only wished that Grander had left it at a handshake. Lily was restless as she paced about the room. She was supposed to be getting ready to fly off with Christopher, but Lily knew that she would not be at peace until she was certain that Joe was safe. Even though Don Grander already threatened that he would only kill Joe when she went against the plan,

    Lily was fully packed up by the time Christopher arrived and said they were jetting off for the business trip. Lily knew that this was an opportunity for her to make good use of her presence in Christopher’s life, and besides, Don Grander depended fully on her to bring back report this time around. Maybe if she hadn’t informed him about the trip, he would not have demanded for a beneficial information, but now that she had, she needed to give a feedback that would make Don Grander smile otherwise risk putting Joe’s life in danger. Lily ensured that she specifically pick clothes that would make her come off as Ashley Grander without doubt or suspicious questions. Even though Christopher hadn’t said anything, Lily knew that he was beginning to suspect that something was off and strange about her. Anyway, Lily meant to go on full character mode during this trip even though she did not know how long they would be staying.“Take my boxes downstairs,” Lily ordered Maggie; that was another

He was in the mood for some lovemaking, and she was taking too much time.Don Grander had almost finished the cigar he was smoking and Emily was still holed up in the damn bathroom.“What is keeping you in there?” Don Grander asked, his patience running thin.He liked to get it over and done with once he was having that feeling, and regardless of where he was and at what time, he always got what he wanted, but Emily was delaying today, and it was beginning to piss him off. Don Grander was even more pissed off when Emily came out of the restroom and she was still fully clothed. He had thought that she was spending more than the reason time in the bathroom because she wanted to entice him.Don Grander’s face scrunched up in annoyance. “What is going on?” he asked.Emily carried an angry expression of her own. “I am not in the mood,” Emily answered as she stood her ground and crossed her arms around her chest.Don Grander go

    “Why would you give Ashley’s diary to me?” Lily asked, her voice shaky as she swallowed hard. Before now, Lily had really wanted to know everything about Ashley Grander and how she died, especially as there seemed to be ugly situations surrounding it, and it always seemed to rear its head up in situations that Lily would have to pull herself out from, but now, holding a dead woman’s diary in her hands, Lily wasn’t so sure anymore. “I just want to know,” the old maid said, her voice drenched in sorrow. There was no doubt that she loved Ashley with all her heart, and it broke Lily to see her broken. Maybe Lily should have just continued pretending to be Ashley. “Although Ashley was not my daughter, and when Emily arrived here, she made sure that Ashley was kept away from me, I still loved her, and I took her like a daughter of mine,” the old maid continued in deep sadness. “I was here when she was born, and I practically raised her when her mother passed, before Don married Emily.

    Lily and the old maid sat in silence for a few minutes, even though they both knew that aside from the fact they did not have the luxury of time for that, they would both be screwed if Don Grander or Emily found them in that position. The old maid had been strangely silent since Lily revealed her identity. “Please, you can’t tell them,” Lily begged, breaking the ice. “If they find out that I have told you who I really am, they would kill my only brother,” she added pitifully. The old maid sighed deeply. “You know, I suspected that there was something off about you. When I applied the balm the first time, the body just wasn’t the same as my dear Ashley’s,” the old maid revealed. Lily did not know if she should be relieved or worried. “Why didn’t you say anything to Don Grander or Emily?” Lily asked, curious to know. “You see, I started working in this house the week that Ashley was born. She would have been a sweet girl, as I was allowed to carry her often, but then her mother pa

    "What did you do that for?” Christopher said as he released his lips from Aimee’s kiss, taking his hands off her immediately. The moment Aimee’s lips touched Christopher’s, she became uncontrollably aroused, and she just wanted to have Christopher by all means. Blindly, she reached out for Christopher and dragged him in for another kiss, but Christopher pulled away from her grip; gently so as not to hurt her in the process. “What the heck has come over you?!” Christopher barked, hoping to get some senses into Aimee. He had never seen her like this, and even though this was not the first time that she was attempting a kiss on him, she just looked like a completely different person to Christopher. It was as though he was seeing a strange woman. “You are what has come over me, Christopher Bridger,” Aimee said lustily, her words slurring. She reached behind her dress and unzipped it, causing her dress to fall flat on the ground, revealing her naked body. “Jeez, Aimee!” Christopher s

    Aimee smiled proudly as she reminisced on what her achievement was bringing to Christopher. “You might never know this, but I will go to the ends of the earth for you,” Aimee said to Christopher in a whisper as she patiently waited for her to finish up his brief chats with the reputable men. Then Aimee’s eyes went to her bare fingers as she looked down to distract herself, and her heart split into two. The ring on Ashley’s finger should have been on hers instead, because what she was doing for Christopher, Ashley would never be able to do it in many lifetimes. “This is not enough,” Aimee said to herself, her countenance changing slowly, knowing that Christopher had no clue the numerous sacrifices that she had made behind him, and as such, he might not be able to see her what she truly was; his perfect match. “I need to get that ring,” Aimee added. She was tired of taking things slow. Now that Christopher was married, Ashley was likely to fall pregnant soonest, even though Aimee co

    The party had ended about an hour ago, but Christopher was stilled held back shaking hands with men that mattered most in the countries, and already signing business deal.It was a new dawn for the Bridger Empire.As Aimee stood by and watched, she could not help but smile. Yes, she loved Christopher Bridger deeply, but now, she loved him ten times more. It swelled her heart watching him climb that stage, and more, that she was right there with him.“As it should be,” Aimee said to herself.She wondered why Christopher couldn’t see that she was his perfect match. Ashley would not have known the next thing to being Christopher’s anchor for tonight if she had been available, and Aimee was more than happy that she had had to do a little dirty act just to get this moment for herself and Christopher.She smiled triumphantly as she watched Christopher interact with people whose deals were capable of shooting up his company as her mind drifted to what she had had to do for him to earn it.Wh

    I am Ashley Grander. I am wild and reckless. I have been to many countries like…” Lily began to read through nuggets about Ashley that Emily had given her.“You will have to start from the beginning and relearn everything, and commit the new ones to memory, because if you fail again this time around, you will not be punished; you will be killed,” Emily had told her as she handed the piece of paper to Lily.So Lily had gone back to Ashley’s bedroom and had begun to digest everything written in the paper with vigor and determination, but her mind kept drifting back to Christopher and Aimee at the party. Something good had obviously happened to Christopher Bridger, but Lily could not think about it without thinking about Aimee.“That is your next assignment.”Those were Emily’s words, and Lily knew now more than ever before that she could not fail. She dared not fail otherwise she would not only die, but Joe would also die. Lily now worried less about Joe, because no one had mentioned a

    Lily could not tear her eyes off the TV. Christopher and Aimee looked like the perfect power couple, and a pang of jealousy shot through my veins. First, it was Aimee picking up Christopher’s call, and now, they were both attending the same party together. From the guests shown on TV, it was obvious that it was an elite party, and Lily could not deny how impeccably handsome Christopher looked. Among all the people in the crowd, Lily’s eyes continued to pick Christopher out, but then again, seeing him also meant that she would see Aimee glued to his side possessively.“Do you see what you have caused?” Emily’s voice rang out, cutting through the moment as she made her way downstairs.I turned quickly and looked at Emily, fear enveloping me all over again. For a moment, watching Christopher, Lily had almost forgotten her current predicament.“I…it’s…” I stuttered, not knowing what to say.Emily came and stood beside Lily, and Lily cowered in fright, thinking that Emily was going to gra

    Lily was glad that she had been able to get back to her room without getting caught even though her attempts were futile. It was not until she was back in her room and pacing around again that she remembered that she could have called Rudney. “Gosh, Lily! How could you forget such a thing?!” Lily berated herself. The one person that would have picked up was Rudney, and yet, she did not remember to call him and ask about Joe. Anyway, Lily blamed it on the fact that she was agitated and also trying to hurry up. Then her mind went to her call to Christopher. “It has just been a couple of days that I have been away, and he is already going about with Aimee,” I said to myself jealously. Since when did Christopher start giving his phone to Aimee as though she was his secretary, and what were they doing together at that time? Lily had heard soft music playing in the background; were they out on a date? Lily scoffed. “Christopher never cared about me…or Ashley, and coming here was just

    “Are you there now?” Don Grander asked Monk.Monk sat in his car outside the hospital as he talked with Don Grander over the phone. He had just arrived, but he knew that he could not stay parked in that spot longer than necessary.“All you have to do is get in there, get access to his word, and smother him,” Monk rehearsed the whole process that he had cooked up in his head over and over again.This was a government hospital, and he knew that what he was about to do was very risky. If he got caught, he would rot in jail. Monk never shied away from assigned duties, but he wished that Don Grander had assigned the same person he hired to find out if Benedict died or not to simply complete the task.“Yes, I just got here,” Monk answered, grounding his teeth.He looked around the premises and everyone went about their businesses innocently. His eyes fell on the hospital’s entrance, and Monk swallowed hard. The state government never took lightly to crimes, and Monk knew the consequences. H
