Ethan dropped me off at the front steps and before I had the chance to unlock my seatbelt, he was already at my side, opening the car door for me which I found was extremely weird. He was being too much of a gentleman. It was almost unbelievable.

He then left in the same car, claiming he had some business to attend to. He made no rude comments about how I didn't make myself useful in any way.

I was done being a woman without anything to do. I had something to do now, and it was college. I would be starting my classes from the very same day and so was Olivia. We would be occupied for most of the morning and the afternoon after lunch. We didn't want anyone to know about it so we would be doing it in the privacy of our respective rooms with the doors locked. Everyone would be busy with their own work anyway.

I decided to check up on Keith before I got started and apologize to him about earlier and on behalf of Ethan but he wasn't there, so I made a mental note to d

    "Stop. Please," I gasped for air, crumbling to the floor with my heart beating fast.Keith halted at the top of the stairs and laughed at me."Man, am I out of shape," I grumbled.It was a quiet Sunday with practically no one in the mansion. Mr. and Mrs. Jenson had gone on a little picnic and Olivia was sleeping because she was too tired from studying already on the second day.Ethan surprisingly took a holiday today for the first time since I had been here. He was bugging me all morning because he thought I was avoiding him by not letting him in my room but in reality I was just taking my classes. After about ten minutes of him constantly whining, I finally stopped answering him. He left fifteen minutes after that.There were only three people at lunch, Ethan, Olivia and I. Of course he demanded what I was doing in my room all morning but I just gave an excuse that I was sleeping as I was tired.After lunch, I quickly put my dishes in the s

    Heather was present during dinner. She looked a little too dressed up for a simple dinner but when Ethan walked in, I knew the reason. They were going out to eat. They were going on a date. She didn't want to stay for long as they had reservations.I could feel Ethan's eyes on me ever so often and it was hard to ignore what happened a few hours ago whenever we looked at each other. I could still feel his lips on my neck and the warm hug which was too good to pull out of.Ethan looked as if he was about to say something to me but I didn't give him a chance to as I spoke. "Have fun on your date.""Thanks," Heather said before grabbing Ethan's hand and dragging him out the door into their waiting car. We bid them goodbye.The whole dinner I was distracted. My mind kept replaying our hug and his kisses on my neck and our almost kiss.Soon Mr. and Mrs. Jenson started talking about Ethan and Heather and their wedding.An unknown emotion burned in

    "What're doing here?""Why is everyone asking me this? Is my presence here that surprising?""Probably because you have no business here. And your presence is not desired as well.""I have business with Juliet. So you can leave.""I'm not going to leave until you do." Ethan shot back."Just let us be, man," Vince sounded annoyed."I can clearly see that Juliet doesn't want you here so I suggest you leave.""Okay," Vince said, grabbing my arm. "Yes, we are leaving. We have a dinner date."I peeled his arm off of me. "No we don't. I clearly told you I don't want to see your face again.""You heard her," Ethan said and gestured towards the door. "Show yourself out before I have to call someone to do that for you."Vince glared at Ethan and gave me a look. "We're not done talking, Juliet."I ignored him as he shuffled awkwardly around us and was finally out the door."You okay?" Ethan asked as he walked

    "I still can't believe you have a car like that," I said as I glanced back at the car which was not some fancy expensive one. It could easily pass as a normal car and no one would believe it belonged to a billionaire."Yeah, it's for escapades like this one." He grinned, twirling the car keys around his finger."Where are we going?" I asked as he grabbed my hand when we were about to cross the road."It's right there."I looked in the direction he pointed and was confused as to why we are at the theatre.I mean I know we were there to watch a movie but why? We could've just watched it at home at the private movie theatre the Jenson's owned. It wouldn't have been a problem to get hands on the latest movie.When I pointed it out to him, he couldn't answer for a minute. "I want to experience it like how other people do. At a crowded movie theatre, in the darkness with lots of people around. It would be fun if we don't get recognized."I

    I just stared at him, wide-eyed as I was too afraid to do anything. Just as his lips were about to touch mine, he lost his footing and we both crashed down. We were at the edge of one of the stairs after all.I was the unlucky one as I fell on my back. What made it worse was Ethan landing on top of me. He immediately scrambled to get off of me."Are you okay?" He asked as he sat up straight and stared down at me."I hope so," I grunted.After I recovered from the fall, we burst out laughing for no reason.***I woke up the next day with a smile on my face. I was reminiscing all the fun moments I shared with Ethan.That was when Olivia came storming in my room."Where were you last night?" She asked, pointing a finger at me."Why do you want to know?" I asked as I swiftly rolled out of bed and fixed my shirt."I told you I was going to tell you everything about my date with Tristan. But wh

    A few days later, Tristan stormed inside the mansion. I was in the middle of my classes when there were loud knocks on my door. I frowned and was about to open the door when Tristan's angry voice confronted me."Juliet, what did you tell her?" Tristan demanded from the other side of the door.I kept quiet. Did Olivia tell him that I told her about him?"Juliet, open the door. I want to talk to you."I still didn't say anything, hoping he would think I was not here."I know you're there. Don't think that just because you aren't speaking I'd think you aren't here."Well, damn."What is it?"I asked."What did you tell her about me? Why is Olivia acting strange since our date? It feels like she's avoiding me.""I don't know what you're talking about.""Open the damn door.""No, I'm busy. Let's talk later.""Later when?""After lunch. Can you wait till then?"Tristan didn't speak for a minut

    "Brooke is getting married!"Amelia gasped. "Really?""Yeah! I can't believe Brian finally proposed to her.""Yeah. She texted me too. That's such a beautiful ring," Amelia squealed as she showed us the picture of a woman's hand with a big and beautiful diamond ring on the ring finger. "I'm so going to be the maid of honor!""No way, she's totally going to choose me." Heather fired back."Hah, keep dreaming. I know I'm her favorite!" Amelia retorted."Slow down. Who's Brooke." I asked, confused about this new person."She's my cousin," Amelia informed me. "And she's getting married to her long time boyfriend, Brian.""How long?""They've been dating for like eight years with three break ups in between.""Wow. How old is she?" Olivia asked pushing her sunglasses up her head as she peered at Amelia."She's almost twenty seven. And her fiancé, Brian is the sweetest guy ever. When they were in college, h

    As weeks passed, Heather and Amelia's excitement for their friend's wedding knew no bounds. If I hadn't known better, I would've assumed it was their own wedding.We were in California now, two days before the wedding.Two weeks ago was the bridal shower which was attended by everyone. After that event, we were all too busy arranging a bachelorette party for the bride-to-be.Heather and Amelia had said that a simple one is what Brooke would prefer so they had booked a nice resort along the beach for the weekend which was about two hours or so away from the hotel we were staying at.A lot of planning went into the party. We booked a stretch limo for two days and Heather looked after the decorations at the resort. Amelia was tasked with

    ♡five years later♡I bent down to examine it through the glass. It was beautiful but so were all the others. I nudged Olivia next to me."What do you think about this one?" I asked, hoping she could help me out with choosing something.She examined it closely. "Like I said about everything you showed me, it's really pretty.""That isn't helping me to choose only one!""Julie, how am I supposed to know which one is perfect? Everyone has different tastes and what I like isn't necessarily something that Ethan might like. You know him the best so you choose one."I sighed. "Fine, fine." I looked at her hand to stare at her wedding ring glinting on her finger under the fluorescent lights."Hurry, we've been here for an hour now. I'm going to go sit down somewhere.""God, I'm sorry. Yeah, sit somewhere. I'll make it quic

    "I assume she must've retaliated?"He grimaced. "Yeah, she dumped an entire pack of flour over me and it was okay because it was powder until she started chasing me around with the hose turning me into a man dough."I chuckled. "Don't hate her too much. She's still my sister." It felt weird to think of her as my sister. "Oh and is it still true that you used to envy her because she did whatever she wanted and didn't give a shit?"He grumbled under his breath. "Don't you ever tell her that.""So thatistrue.""I'm serious. You're not allowed to tell her. She'd bring it up every time we bicker.""Okay, I won't." I said, thoroughly amused."Good. So now that we've got all problems out of the way, I think you should tell me about yourself, Julie Jenson.""Well that's a hard thing to do. What do you want to know?""Just tell me everything about your life from as long as you can remember. I want to get to k

    It had now being a week since I visited my aunt. I was settling comfortably into my college schedule like before and there was no difference even in my routine with the exception that I no longer woke up at five in the morning to get ready and go for a jog. I now woke up at eight for classes at nine like a sane normal college student and Olivia was proud of that. She was just happy that I'd no longer knock on her door at the crack of dawn demanding for her company while I jogged. I had to admit it felt pretty good to get three hours of extra sleep everyday.It had been a week but Ethan still did not come to meet me. I wondered if I should just lose hope and move on but it was too soon to take that decision but it would certainly be considered late if he showed up now. But I missed him. I missed him too much to the point where every brown haired guy made me think it was him, only to be disappointed.Olivia and I had been getting along pretty well. Amelia had called the

    "He had already called and demanded the ransom money from your parents when his criminal friend told him about a child trafficking group who was willing to give him twice the amount he had asked for. He didn't want to risk getting traced if he asked again for a raise in the money from your parents so he managed to get two dead girl bodies who had recently died in a house fire and were burnt to the point where they couldn't be recognized and just exchanged your baby clothes with them. He staged a fake accident and the couple was informed. They thought that both of you had died and didn't want a DNA test to verify it. They couldn't bear it." I could see her hands shaking as she spoke but she clasped them tightly together."Was there no mention of all this anywhere in the news?" I was exasperated."He had kidnapped you two before others could be informed that your mother had given birth to triplets. After the couple found the two babies dead, they didn't want anybody to k

    I had borrowed Olivia's car for the day. Today was important. It was something I had promised myself to check after I left the mansion.It had taken nearly three hours to arrive. It was a nice sunny Sunday afternoon with birds chirping in the afternoon sun and a pleasant atmosphere. The breeze and the faint smell of the salty sea in the air brought back fun childhood memories spent with my parents and my uncle and aunt.Today was Sunday which reminded me that Ethan was supposed to move out on this day. He hadn't tracked me down and came to talk like he said he was going to on the phone and I wondered if he was just giving me time and space or that he genuinely didn't want anything to do with me anymore. I tried remaining optimistic. There was no way he wouldn't come. On top of that he knew about me from the very beginning and still fell for me so I found no reason as to why he wouldn't find me.We called Heather the next day after returning because we were curio

    "Who?" Even I thought Heather's attempts at playing dumb were pathetic."Are you done pretending you don't know anything when I know you've been helping the girl?"Heather sighed, annoyed. "Not yet, no," She grumbled."I just want to see her. Now where did you hide her?""She's not here."There was a pause and I imagined her raising an eyebrow. It annoyed me that I didn't even get a glimpse of her face. Sure, I'd seen her in pictures but I was sure it didn't do her full justice. So I had to imagine myself raising an eyebrow."She ran away." Juliet realized. She was pretty quick at catching on things."She did, just now. Let's leave her alone. Now that you're here, just blend into your role. And how the hell did you know I helped her?""Just when are you going to stop thinking that I have no brain? It's you who's sounding stupid right now by asking that question."I wondered where Ethan was. I already missed him.

    I froze. For a full minute I couldn't do anything but gawk at a confused Samara."Are you okay?""Uh," I snapped out of my daze. "What did you say?""I said that a woman is waiting in the living room. She's asking for you and she looks like you. It's unbelievable. I thought you were just messing around but you two really are different people.""I-I'll be right there." My voice came out shaky. I was expecting Juliet to return but nothing had prepared me for this moment.I knew I should immediately find Heather because if Juliet was here then that meant Heather must've known that she was coming. Why didn't she warn me before?But my feet seemed to have a mind of their own as they approached the stairs. I couldn't deny that part of me which wanted to see the woman I had been pretending to be for so many months.I could see the back of her head. She was a redhead but I knew she was a natural brunette and she had just dyed her hair and cho

    "That's...strange.""Very much so. Hopefully, there aren't any more clones. I've had enough with you as it is. Once I'm sure everything is under control here, I'll go in search of Juliet.""Will that be necessary? I'm all over the news. Even if Juliet doesn't keep up with the latest news she's bound to hear it from someone, especially when it's about her."Heather seemed to think it over. "Now that I have no idea where she is, that's highly possible.""And before that happens shouldn't I just disappear?""No. At least not yet. Even if she does hear about it, she'll contact me first. I don't think she'd want to come back when she's unintentionally the hot topic right now."I sighed. "What am I to say to the parents?""They're pissed. If you keep being holed up in your room, they'd probably be mad at you for being a coward and that is unlike Juliet."Taking her words into account, I promptly approached them just before lunch.

    JULIE'SPOVI shot up into a sitting position once my eyes opened. I immediately regretted sitting up so abruptly because the room spun at great speeds. I squeezed my eyes shut and pressed my fingers into my temples. It took some time for me to recall the last thing I could remember which was the argument with Heather.I sighed. I was again torn between what was the right thing to do and what I was forced to do.I noticed an Advil on my nightstand. I immediately chased it down with water, grateful to whoever put it there for me because my headache had just started to set in.The atmosphere at the breakfast table was tense. I had woken up late and everyone had already had their breakfast. Ethan had left for work and I regretted not being able to catch him before he left.I didn't remember much from last night after my argument with Heather. I just hoped I hadn't done anything stupid but if looking at my parents
