" Sloan ,what's the update now ? What do we have to do ? " Mr Brookes asked while Mrs Sloan let out a smug smile , " I already spoke to the Doctor for a mask , now we have to look for a person with the same bodice like Vanessa's , we would only teach her to walk gracefully like Vanessa does and speak with the accent and boldness just like her " Sloan said while Mr Brookes nodded his head ,.
" Who do you think would fit in perfectly for Vanessa's role , we barely have 11 hours left " Mr Brookes rasped as he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead , despite the air conditioner in the already cozy room , he was all sweaty .
" why not leave that to me Honey " Sloan replied Mr Brookes who looked at her for some moments before leaving .
" I'll be back in two hours ,I have a meeting to attend" he mumbled to Sloan's hearing and left the room .
" Violet , a cup of coffee right away " Mrs Brookes said aloud as Violet rushed to the kitchen almost immediately .
She took the mug , poured from the brewing machine , taking a tea saucer ,she placed the tea cup on it and some cubes of sugar hurrying upstairs .
" Ma'am , your coffee is ready " Violet said from the door .
" come in " Sloan said tone less as Violet placed the tea saucer and turned to leave but was stopped , " raise your head "Sloan ordered , a command which Violet obeyed .
Inside of her, she fretted , wondering what offence she has committed while Sloan's eyes scanned her from head to toe , she has the actual and perfect body size and also same height as Vanessa .
" Violet ? " Sloan called
" Ma'am " Violet replied
" Well Violet , you are aware of what happened to our very own Vanessa and we can't afford to let this leak to the public , that's why I asked you not to go " Sloan said in a sober tone , which was very unusual of her .
" I'm very sorry for your loss ma'am " Violet said in a soft voice , head still bowed slightly while Sloan sipped from the coffee .
" I want you to do it for me ,we can't afford to loose both of it together " Sloan said whilst making Violet confused , " I do not understand what you mean ma'am " Violet said looking puzzled .
" I want you to be Vanessa " Sloan dropped the bomb shell while violet's eyes popped out .
" huh ? " She muttered looking in disbelief , " Vanessa is not me and I can not be her " Violet said slowly making Sloan chuckled before crossing her right leg over her left .
" You are Vanessa and she is you " Sloan said again while Violet nodded her head negatively .
" ma'am , young miss is dead and I can not be her " Violet said nodding her head while she spoke .
" Violet , you are our Vanessa now , you have no other choice " Sloan said authoritatively while Violet nodded her head negatively .
" I can not be your Vanessa , I mean she's dead , I am not her ,we are two different personalities and I do not fit her class and levels , we are two different people from different worlds , I can't just be her , I'm sorry for your loss ma'am " Violet spoke softly while Sloan chuckled before she stood up from the couch .
" Violet , I asking you to be Vanessa doesn't mean you are my step daughter or makes me your step mom , I'm just asking you to fill up the space she had left because of the contracts, you need not to worry because I expect a pauper like you accept the offer but here you are spilling nonsense , you have to do it or else you are the one who loses at the end " Sloan said scornfully while Violet swallowed hard , what on earth made her get into this mess with such an evil woman .
" Violet Myers , the wedding is on the morrow and you have barely 10 hours to prepare as Vanessa " Sloan said smirking mischievously .
" what ? " Violet blurted out , eyes bulging out ,
" I never agreed to do such " Violet retorted while Sloan laughed hysterically.
" Your agreement is not needed Violet , you are just a tool and a tool is always used by the master , I am your master and you are my tool " Sloan said authoritatively.
" I won't do it , how heartless have you suddenly become ,it's barely 3 hours you just found out your step daughter is dead and you want a replacement , is she a good ? " Violet asked looking at in disbelief .
" how dare you talk back at me you pauper ? Shouldn't you grab this opportunity with both hands , every lady in their right senses will jump at this rare opportunity but here you are proving the innocent and pure one ........ My relationship with my step daughter shouldn't be your concern you saucy idiot " Sloan fired back at her while Violet nodded her head negatively , " I don't need mean to sound rude Mrs Brookes but I can't do that I am not callous " Violet replied while Sloan laughed hysterically .
" So I am suddenly the callous one right ? How ungrateful are you ? " She snapped while she smirked " you will do it now or you want it the hard way madame ? ". She fired , grinning wickedly while Violet looked at her in shock while she chuckled .
" Violet , you not doing as I have said means a disaster ,I am sure you don't want your precious little sister dead or your mentally deranged and stinky sick mother killed in the hospital " Sloan added walking around the room as Violet's eyes widened in fear , exactly what she wanted fear , She love the look of fear in every tool's eyes.
" please don't , I beg of you , they are all I have" Violet said drooping on her knees weakly earning a chuckle from Sloan .
“ I know just that Violet so you do part and be a good girl ”
" I thought you would refuse but that's very good of you , now leave my room " Sloan ordered as Violet left the room a shaken leaf .
Violet walked downstairs tears streaming down her face , what would she do ? Who would she run to for help ? How she despised her life ,she opened the door to her room and sank onto the bed ,she laid her head on her pillows and let it all out ,that was what she could do . ★ Reynolds Enterprise ★ " Good evening sir " Rico , Ryan's driver greeted Ryan who just stepped out of the magnificent edifice . " Hmmm " he replied as he sat in the car before giving him a go ahead to drive . " Where are we heading boss ?" Rico asked politely ." Home ,I need to get some sleep , it barely 10 hours to my wedding " Ryan said tone less while his gaze never left the phone . "Tell old Nanny not to bother coming , i already had dinner " Ryan added while Rico replied a " yes sir " and faced the road , driving attentively . He couldn't believe he was getting married , a decision he never thought he would take such decision in time but it was high Time he took
N . Y CITY SPECIALIST HOSPITAL " Let me go , you fool " the elderly lady cursed angrily as the nurses chained her to the bed while she shook violently . " You had better let go of me , I will report you to my husband who is a soldier and you will be gone , don't you know the wife of whom you are speaking to ? " The elderly woman said as she hissed furiously while the nurse shook her head negatively , she finally held her tightly before injecting the syringe in her arm making the woman doze off instantly . Sighing tiredly ,the petite nurse pushed the trolley which held the necessary apparatus , she adjusted the window blinds and close the door after her . Brookes Mansion " Welcome honey " Mrs Brookes said smiling as her husband walked in, " thank you " he cooed . " What do we do about this ? Have you seen any person we can hire to act as Vanessa ?

I wouldn't mind being called that if she allows me taste her lips over and over again " Rodney said to himself as he sprang from the grass and took quick strides into the house .★★★ " Where are you coming from ?" Sloan asked Violet with a tone of anger in her voice ." Uhhhh m..... " Violet gasped looking back to be sure if she was the one who was been spoken to " I am referring to you Violet " Sloan said " Or are you a twin ? " Sloan asked sarcastically " No ...no ma " Violet replied in a shaky voice . . " Where are you coming from ? Are you planning to run ? " Sloan asked pointedly" No ma, I went outside for a little air " Violet replied coolly . " Your room suddenly turned hot as coal right ? " Sloan asked sarcastically while Violet nodded her head in disapprovingly . " Would you shut up your mouth you filthy liar , you are trying to ruin my plans and you
The night was blissful and in no time it was morning , Violet awoke with a rather groggy eye as she hissed painfully as a banging headache welcomed her . She had cried herself to sleep after the doctor finished fixing the Mask on her face. She walked weakly into the bathroom and washed her eyes to help reduce the effect of the sleep,when the door burst open . " I'm pretty sure you have never slept in such a comfy bed have you ? " Sloan asked mockingly while Violet bowed her head immediately " You have probably not had any bath in a jacuzzi tub,you had better not destroy my property you filth " Sloan said smirking ..... " Get ready ,the make up artist will join you in an hour and be on your best behavior else your family suffers the repercussions" Sloan said smiling cunningly before walking out of the room while Violet burst into another round of tears . " Why me ? Why me ? " Violet murmured brokenly as she sobbed silently, she put off her clothes gently and sl
Sloan walked out of the room furiously , opening the door of the guest room she signaled Violet to come out while she left slamming the door hard making Violet baffled as she wondered what pissed her off that she was this furious. " Get into the car , I'm sure you have never sat in such luxury before " Sloan muttered under breath to prevent others from hearing while Violet swallowed hard as she settled into the car while the maids helped her to gather the flowing gown properly before shutting the door gently . " Now leave and stop staring like morons " Sloan snapped at the maids as they scampered away almost immediately . "Move " she ordered the driver as she joined her husband , he drove out trailing behind the bride - to - be's car . ★Back at the Brooke's Mansion ★ "I thought you said Vanessa is dead how come ?

After the glamorous feast , the wedding came to an end with Sloan smiling like a Cheshire cat that has just won a lottery worth billions of dollars . " If you won't mind Mr Ryan , I will love to borrow my step daughter for 10 minutes " Sloan said giving a fake smile while Violet swallowed maintaining a cool face trying to hide her nervousness . " Yes you may " Mr Ryan said coldly as he turned to Rico ," prepare the car , I think it's time I call it a day " Ryan said coldly " On it boss " Rico said bowing slightly when Luke bumped into Ryan . " Oppsss , my bad Mr Ryan Reynolds don't be offended " Luke , Ryan's Best friend said dramatically while Ryan hissed lightly. " You don't have to frown your face this much when you have got a beautiful and influential wife " Luke said softly while Ryan scoffed ignoring his comment .
