2024-10-29 19:42:56The first thing I registered when I woke up was that the bed was moving and I looked to see that Ethan had woken up and was hurriedly getting out of bed and putting on his watch and shoes.
"Ethan," I said and he must have been surprised because his eyes widened.
"I'm sorry, Juliet. I don't know why I always do this. I'm not doing it intentionally. I just...always find myself here in the morning. I can't help it. I can't go to sleep unless I have a drink but then I always end up here. I know you said you like Vince-"
"Ethan, it's fine. I don't mind. I want to tell you something."
"Yes! I know what it is. I'm supposed to keep my distance and I promised you that I was going to like you from afar so I'll make sure I won't come knocking on your door drunk again."
He quickly got up and grabbed the rest of his things before rushing towards the door.
"No, that's not it. Listen! Wait!"
But he was already out the door.
I groaned into my

I pinched his cheeks and he shook my hands away. "You aren't, prince.""Prince?""Yes, my prince."He shook his head. "Hold up. Last time I checked, you were dating Vince! Now I'm suddenly your prince?""I'm not dating him. I was just pretending to date him in front of you." I clarified."Pretending? That pig was going to kiss you at that party but I interrupted your romantic moment."I shook my head. "He was just making it seem like he was going to. He just wanted to see if you'd get jealous.""Well I did. Mission accomplished. So what?"I sighed. "And he just wanted to make you believe that we were dating.""But why did you do that? What was the reason?"I didn't answer because answering it would mean that my secret would be out and I wasn't going to do that until next month."Well?" He urged."I'll tell you some other time. Please, trust me.""Juliet, if you wanted to play you could have as

When I woke up the next day I knew something was wrong. Nothing was really out of place or something. I just really felt like the atmosphere was tense.When I got down to the living room there were a lot of people than usual. I didn't expect to see Heather, Amelia, Olivia, Vince, Tristan, my parents and Ethan in the living room looking very grim first thing in the morning. I could feel the tension emanating from them.Heather looked worried about something and so did everyone else.For a second I thought that Heather told everyone about me but when everyone's eyes flickered to me and looked away without any interest, except for Ethan, I knew that I was safe."Hey girlfriend!" Vince said and waved at me.I gritted my teeth as I saw Ethan silently glaring at Vince.I strode over to him and punched the side of his shoulder."Were you trying to cheat on him with me?" Ethan asked."No no no. He doesn't know that we don't have to act

"Mother, stop. I'm not sick. I'm normal and so is me liking girls. How can you talk to me like that?""You aren't normal. I knew it from the second we adopted you. You're a disgrace to my name and I wish I wouldn't have adopted you. You lowlifes deserve nothing like the life I provided you. You're such an ungrateful brat." She spat acidly that made me take a step back subconsciously."You're crossing a line here. I said stop it!" Justin yelled at her but she paid him no attention. Ethan who was standing next to Heather grabbed her mother's hand and shook it off of her."Aunty, please stop. You're being too harsh on her. What you're saying is very offensive and so I'd like it if you didn't say anything anymore." Ethan said, struggling to keep the polite tone in his voice."You! Weren't you dating Heather? Are you the one who gave her the disease?""No, I wasn't dating Heather. It was just to ensure that you didn't marry her off to someone against he

After debating with myself, I finally decided to go talk to Heather. She had gone through a lot in a single day and I wanted to make sure she was okay.I pushed open the door of her room where she'd be staying for a few days. It was about five and I could see that she had only just taken a shower. Last night she couldn't sleep because she was planning to reveal herself and she was so nervous, she couldn't get any sleep so after the morning drama, she went to sleep and had only just woken up."Hey, come in." She invited me in and so I went and sat on a chair. "What brings you here?""I just wanted to know if you were okay.""I'm fine now." She said and attempted a tiny smile but evidently she was still sad.We were quiet for a while and I scrambled my brain for what to say. "You surprised me with your reveal. I never imagined you'd be into girls. You were fake-dating Ethan all these days and you guys kissed on several occasions-" I stopped and cring

Heather had rented a really nice apartment nearby and she wanted to move there. We told her that she could stay here longer but she was adamant and always had wanted a place of her own.Patricia had officially disowned her and thrown away Heather's things that were in her house. But what she lost was a much greater loss compared to Heather's things. She lost a good daughter and her husband.Justin had talked to his lawyers and they were soon getting divorced. Patricia had thought he wasn't serious when he said that he was going to divorce her and had taken it lightly but when she got the divorce papers she freaked out and the media covered a lot of what happened. A lot of prominent people came out in support of Heather and Patricia was rebuked for her actions.Everything was going back to normal and Heather was focusing more on her work and travelling to keep her busy.I had more time on my hands and I was going to utilize it to get closer to Ethan.

I thought a lot about how I was going to ask him out and I couldn't come up with anything. It wasn't everyday that I had to plan something special for a special someone. It was actually the first time that I had to do something like this.But then I decided that a way to a man's heart was through his stomach and I knew how much of a foodie Ethan was and I knew what I had to do, all thanks to Keith and his magical hands.I was going to cook for him. I was going to set it up prettily which would look romantic and then I was going to ask him out. Picturing this in my mind made me so giddy for the evening. I couldn't wait to get started and pour all of my feelings for him in the dish I'd make.I had already told him to get off work a little early that usual so that we could have our special dinner before everyone else.After an hour or two after lunch I was going to start with my cooking and I had asked for me to be alone in the kitchen and for there to be ne

He knew the question was coming as the night progressed but he still looked surprised."I came up with an idea and you might not be entirely happy with it." He said after a few seconds."I think I'd be fine as long as you give me a chance.""I'll give you three dates. These dates aren't just any normal dates. In these three dates you have to prove to me that you are sincere about your feelings. I don't know how you're going to do this but I know that what you'll have in mind for us will tell me how much thought and heart you put into it. You can take your time planning them.""Sounds like a business deal.""Sorry about that. As you already know, I'm a businessman. We don't involve emotions when there is something we can lose or gain. These are my efforts to protect my heart.""But feelings aren't something you should treat with a business approach.""I know. I'm sorry.""What happens after these three dates?""I score yo

"So what's my score for last night's date?" I asked the moment he opened his door."Huh..." he said, glancing around confusedly. "Ah...the date.""Well...?""I just woke up. Be a little patient, Juliet.""But I waited for nine hours since our date ended!""Then wait for a few more.""Okay."We both headed downstairs for breakfast."So I know what I have to do for our next date." I said as soon as we were done and Ethan was about to go get ready for work."Juliet, you don't have to rush things. Take your time planning them.""I know but I also know that our next date is going to be so much fun. I can't think of anything better than it.""Are you sure?""Of course. Why? Did you not like last night's date?"He shrugged. "I don't know. It was sweet of you to make me experience something I didn't during college. I really don't know.""So what about the scores?""I think I'll just tell

♡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
