Chapter 3. What I need to do

(Ernesta POV)

Betty was ten years older than me, a longtime servant of the Willems, and one of the few people who treated me well while I was here.

From Betty's words, I learned that my parents were originally going to give me to Marcus Johansen in exchange for the opportunity to participate in the urban project and cooperate with the Citus corporation, but he didn't expect that man to refer to Eulalia by name, so they came up with this plan. But because Johansen's side made the decision too quickly, my parents were in such a hurry.

Betty says the person who suggested this idea was Eulalia, I'm not surprised by this, Eulalia is very good at coming up with evil schemes, if it weren't for it, with her bad acting, she wouldn't have become so famous in the entertainment industry.

Eulalia is very careful, she knows that Johansen's side has never met her in real life but only looks at pictures, also knows that Johansen’s family members are very observant, so from the first meeting, even just to sign, she used me instead. Thus, no matter how closely the Johansen family looked, they could not detect the difference.

After changing into Eulalia's style of clothes, wig, and makeup, I was like a perfect copy of her. Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but frown, I hate this look, I really hate it.

Done, Betty whispered to me

"Don't worry, your son is with Neron right now."

Knowing that Silas was with my brother, I felt much more secure. In this family, Neron is the only one who treats me well so I know for sure that he will treat my child well. It's only a pity that this boy is too shy and lacks opinions, so even though he is eighteen years old, he still cannot control his life.

After saying thank you to Betty, I went downstairs.

At this point, Marcus Johansen's man arrived, a secretary named Roger.

True to Eulalia's wish, everything went very smoothly, Roger did not doubt my identity one bit.

After getting my signature, he collected the marriage certificate and stood up

“The wedding will be held in three days. Mr. Johansen wants the wedding to be simple and quick, are you okay with this?”

I didn't answer, just smiled, and nodded.

I have the right to say in this matter. At the thought of marrying a man I didn't know and being my sister's husband, my heart was heavy.

Amber was different, she happily faced Roger with a flattering smile

“As quickly as possible, we are always ready, all according to the arrangement of Mr. Johansen. Isn't that right, Eulalia?"

She pushed my shoulder lightly, I forced a smile

"Yes mother"

After Roger left, Eulalia came down from upstairs, her eyes on me didn't hide her hatred

“The feeling of seeing someone who looks exactly like I exist is so annoying.”

I lowered my eyelids without saying a word, Eulalia glared at me and walked over to my parents.

At this time, Arthur spoke to me in a threatening voice

“You heard it, the wedding will take place in three days, don't even think about running away. After you get married, I'll give you back your children."

I know I can't change anything, the best I can do right now is listen to them to ensure Silas's safety.

"What then?"

I ask. I know things won't stop there, if only Eulalia signed the marriage certificate instead, it would be too simple.

Seeing that I did not protest anymore, the attitude of my parents was no longer as grumpy as at first, Arthur replied

“You will replace Eulalia for half a year, once I get a hold of what I need I will find a way to get you a divorce. So, until then, you must not reveal your identity. If you disobey me, don't expect to see a boy in your life."

I nodded silently.

My father knew someone from the underground and thanks to that person he escaped many crimes and obtained some benefits. But perhaps because the CEO of this Citus is a powerful, rich, and not simple person, the other person can't help him, and that's why he used this method.

My father met almost every need of Eulalia. Although I have replaced Eulalia as Marcus Johansen's wife, legally Eulalia is still his legal wife. If she didn't want to, Arthur would help her get a divorce.

Thinking about this, my heart suddenly felt bitter. My parents, although they are very greedy but still care about their children, just 'their children' does not include me.

Sometimes, I feel grateful for this, because thanks to it, I feel less burdened when thinking about the gift of birth and don't feel regret every time I refuse my parents' request.

After knowing the future I was supposed to be in, I looked over at Eulalia.

"And what about you?"

My sister and I are twins. If I had replaced her, she wouldn't be able to use her identity as Eulalia to continue her life in Nevy. Besides, I'm sure she doesn't want to be Ernesta and live my life either.

Eulalia threw her hair back and answered without looking at me

“I will use your identity and travel abroad. I told Farah that she won't take on new roles for the time being but since I'm a celebrity who can't disappear she will arrange some events for you. Until then, don't embarrass me."

I chuckle.

"Besides this face, what do you have to lose in your image?"

If other people don't know, how can I not know?

Eulalia is famous because of her company's face and publicity, her acting ability must be called the grandfather of bad. Even a rookie actress can do better than her. If it wasn't for Arthur buying off social media and her company hiring people to flatter her, she wouldn't have reached this position.

Being hit in the heart by my words, Eulalia glared at me with wide eyes.

"Shut up. If you talk nonsense, only your son will suffer."

"Do not always mention my son. If something happens to the boy, I don't mind risking my life with you, my sister”

Does Eulalia think I'm afraid of her? Ridiculous. I just want to use the safest method to protect Silas. Without Silas, I have no shortage of ways to make her lose everything, even at the cost of this life.

Silas is the only reason why I try to fight and try to cope with difficulties to survive in this place.

It seems like Eulalia knew I wasn't joking so she didn't bring it up, but she smirked at me.

"What's the use of being superior to me? After all, you are still just a whore no one needs. Tell me, what your son will think when he finds out what his mother did."

That sentence made my body tremble, Silas' innocent face appeared in my mind making me involuntarily close my eyes.

I clenched my fists, gritted my teeth at Eulalia, and then turned away. She is someone who knows how to make people angry and out of control, the more I become like that, the more pleased she will be. I definitely won't let her get what she wants.
