2024-10-29 19:42:56"Care to tell me why you're kidnapping me at office hours for no apparent reason?" I asked once I was seated in the passenger seat. I looked up at the bright sun scorching down at us, right above our heads.
He shut my door for me while looking around sneakily.
"I'm taking you on a date." He whispered into my open window.
"Right now? Aren't you supposed to be working?"
"Is what your parents think but I already told my manager to clear my schedule from this afternoon."
He rounded to the driver's seat and slid in.
"Wow. You chose something else over work? That's new. That's good. You should do that every now and then."
"Yeah, it was you who has made me want to not be in my office lately. I'm yet to decide if it's a good thing." He said, pulling away from the house.
"It is. There was going to be a breaking point soon anyway. You have been working hard for many years, making us feel as if we are good for nothing." It was true. I fel

"I'm hungry too, you know. And I can't eat while I'm driving." Ethan said as soon as we were on the road again.He eyed the food in my hands as its delectable aroma spread throughout the car. He licked his lips and turned back to face ahead."I know. I've an idea. Let's go to the cliff where we used to go when we were kids.""You want to eat there? I don't know, it's gotten dark now." He said, looking out his window at the setting sun and dark clouds."You took me there on my birthday at four am." I deadpanned."We weren't there to have dinner that night.""Doesn't matter. Take us there.""As you wish, master. Any other orders?"I lightly shoved his shoulders, enough to not distract him while he was driving. "Hey, I never ordered you.""Well you sounded pretty demanding.""Fine.Please, take us there. I want to go there tonight.""Now that sounds a lot nicer, doesn't it?""Oh whatever.

"Olivia!"I gripped at my chest, feeling my heart pound loudly as I started recovering from the near heart attack she caused.Ethan sat up straight, fumbling behind me to put on the shirt he just took off."I-I just wanted to talk to you." She avoided looking at us."Okay, I'll be out in a second." I straightened my clothes.She nodded and left."Can't you two talk tomorrow? It's twelve right now. What is she doing roaming the mansion at this time?" Ethan asked."I need to talk to her right now. I didn't tell her that I was dating you. I'll be back." I went to get up but he pulled me back and buried his face in my neck."Come back soon."I smiled. "I will." I promised as I caressed his hair."Okay. I'll try not to fall asleep. But I'm just so tired." He pulled away and I got up."You should go to sleep. I think it'll take some time with Olivia."This was not how I was planning on breaking the news to

My eyes shifted to Ethan. He was going to leave after a few days?"Yes, sir."I was going to talk to him about this. I just got together with him and now he was leaving."How many more days?" I asked."Just till the day of the launch party of my friend's daughter's new company." Dad said."When is that?""In less than two weeks. Now I'd like to privately talk to Ethan."I took the hint and exited his office, hanging around to have a talk with Ethan after.After ten minutes, he appeared out of the room and I stood up to reach him."What did he say? And what did you say?""He told me that I can date you." Ethan said with a grin. "He still doesn't trust us though. He's confused how this happened when we absolutely hated each other.""Oh that, well he doesn't need to know." I looped my arm around his. "All that matters is that he approves.""Yes, finally I asked him.""And are you really leaving a

Just as I unfolded the papers to what looked like some sort of a receipt, the door burst open and in came Olivia clutching her stomach. She could barely hold herself up."Olivia! Are you okay?" I asked as I rushed to her and held her up.She tried reaching for the papers clutched in my hand but I moved it away from her. She convulsed, slipping from my grasp and dropping to the ground in a fetal position."Oh my God, Olivia. What's happening?"I suddenly felt Amelia's presence next to me and I turned to her for help but she already had her phone pressed to her ear. I vaguely heard her call a doctor urgently as I helped Olivia to her bed.She looked a lot better after a doctor came and checked up on her.I showed him the pills I had found. Heather came after Amelia called her and had initially told us to leave but I wasn't having it."What did you do to her?" I had almost yelled at her, unable to keep the bitterness from my voice.

"You must've been so scared. The doctor mentioned about some complications-""Oh, scared I was. But not for me. I was scared about what I was about to do at that time. I was going to kill someone. Someone that did nothing wrong and was only the product of my stupidity."I shook my head. "Please don't blame yourself. You did what you thought was right.""I didn't think it was right. If I had even a slightest idea that you and Tristan wouldn't object to the baby or criticize me for it, I wouldn't have done it." I could feel her regret rolling off of her in waved."You've got to know that I would never criticize you for something like this. I don't know about Tristan but I would never."She looked at me with sad eyes. She didn't say anything so I asked because I had so many questions."Why did you trust Heather with this? Weren't you scared she'd be mad at us?""No, I felt like I could trust her. She's so strong. I needed someone like he

"Tristan," I whispered to his distressed form."P-please tell me that was a lie."I didn't say anything because I couldn't lie to him. He was supposed to find out, just not like this.He turned back and faced me with teary eyes. My face gave away the fact that no, it wasn't a lie. His face contorted in pain.He grabbed my shoulders and shook me. "No, please tell me it's all a lie. You-you're playing a prank on me, right? It's not funny. Stop it.""I'm sorry you had to find it like this." I said quietly.He let go of me. "No."He strode forward and walked past me into the room. I followed him.Olivia looked shocked and scared. "Tristan."He looked like he wanted to yell but once he was close enough to her, his eyes dropped down to her flat stomach."I'm sorry." It pained me to see Olivia so broken, she barely managed to get the words out."Why did you do it? Just give me a reason why you didn't tell me. Some

"What is it? I want to go home," he finally said impatiently."I wanted to apologize for causing all of this. She started keeping her distance from you because I told her to. I caused you two a lot of pain and heartbreak and I'm truly and deeply sorry for it.""It's not your fault. But what did Olivia mean when she said that you were at fault for the abortion? I didn't understand how.""She was scared of how I'll react if I got to know about the baby. Like I said, she avoided you because of me and she still went against me and got pregnant. I didn't know that my words would affect her so much that she'd choose to abort the baby. But I didn't even know that she was pregnant before today. You know that too."He nodded. "I don't think it's your fault.""Me too. My only fault was that I kept you two apart. I'm sorry.""It's alright. Do you still think I'm too good for her?""I don't know anymore."We sat in silence for a few minute

SURPRISE!ETHAN'S POVI thought I'd never fall in love. I always thought it'd take a lot of time for me to fall for someone. But with Juliet it was so easy. I hadn't even realized I was falling until it hit me during Brian and Brooke's wedding.Initially I just liked her. Then more. Then more and then finally it couldn't be anything more but love.I realized it during all those dates she took me on. She cared and she remembered everything I told her, even the things that I forgot that I told her. No woman had ever started with hating me, to making peace with me, to taking me on adventures I never got to experience, to making me fall for her. No woman had ever given me a piggyback ride, except maybe my mom when I was little.As I watered our little flower garden I couldn't help but smile at the thought of her. I bent down and observed the plants. They were starting to sprout tiny b

♡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
