Ted's standpoint
I stared at Carlina as she ran around shrieking and clapping her hands, she is amusing but not as much as my Cookie, if only she was Cookie. I honestly had no idea why I was so attached to her, maybe because she was the only thing closest to Cookie that I could get. She smelt like her; almost like her, even went all color and teddy bear crazy just like her. Everything about her was almost like Cookie's, almost but not it.
I really miss Cookie.
But you must accept the fact that she is dead… My subconscious chipped in.
I know.
'Maurice, vieni qui,' I called out to Maurice. He jogged over to
Carlos' standpoint 'Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette…' I counted as I waited for River's call. I gave him the name of the supermarket I saw Cookie's lookalike and asked he investigates on who she was. The day went on lamely. Me, just following Ted around as he worked, going through files and speaking business rubbish with people. I swear, watching time tick would have been better. I sighed, I was sitting outside the penthouse, waiting for the call and the maid who was to clean the house. 'Finally,' I breathed when my phone rang. I picked it up and answered the call. 'This better be good news.' 'Fabulous news!' He shrieked. 'Her name is Dora Valeroso, twin sister to someone named Darra Valeroso. In simple word
Cookie's standpoint It was all making sense, it was starting to make sense to me; why I loved him, why I cared so much about him when I had no idea who he was. How did I see him in the first place? Valeria told me about the stupid doctor who refused to treat me, the useless man who kept tossing my case away, so I would die. So, I decided to see who he was so I would hate him and maybe if I see him in the future, give him a piece of my mind. Sure, it sounds ridiculous, but something about his name kept urging me to see his face and when I did, I never got over it. At least, now I understand why I didn't. He kept staring at me with eyes wide with disbelief, and I can swear I saw panic in there. I didn't
Cookie's standpoint <Recap> 'I already hate you, Ame, there is nothing you can do to change that.' 'No, you can't hate me, you can't,' he said shakily. My heart melted at the sea of tears flowing down his cheeks. 'No, non mi odi, non mi odierai mai. Mi ami, Biscotto, mi hai promesso che mi avresti sempre amato. Non puoi odiarmi, non puoi perché mi ami e siamo destinati a stare insieme.' Obsess much. He pulled me back into his arms. 'Shhh, Coco, rilassati, sono qui
Cookie's standpoint I opened my eyes weakly, the silence felt like I was sick and going to die. My head was pounding terribly, my mind completely blank. I sat up, trying to remember what I was doing in such a colorful and pretty room, where I was and who the fuck I was. I looked around the room in great confusion, finally hearing the beautiful songs of the birds outside, or maybe that is something else… Are those cars? Both… A voice whispered. Okay, both. Now for the next question, where am I? The door opened, like a big golden door, and a man stepped out while drying his hair. Holy gods of perfection! Wh
Cookie's standpoint Ame turned around and started heading back to his wardrobe. I ran after him, throwing myself on his back. I knew he intentionally let me jump on his back and wrap my legs around his waist after pulling out his silver Derat Eagle from his holster. I tightened my forearm against his neck and pressed the gun to his temple. 'Let me go or I'll kill you.' 'Really?' He chuckled. 'Yes.' 'My answer is no.' 'Dire le preghiere,' (say your prayers) 'Wow, una pistola? Sei abbastanza vecchio da u
Ted's standpoint I looked at Cookie with adoration as she blabbed endlessly about all the things that have been happening to her in Finland. My elbow stayed on the windowsill, a sweet smile on my face. She looked so adorable, stuffing her mouth with cookies as she talked. I wondered how I ended up replacing this with Carlina, how I was foolish enough to be infuriated with her. Did grief hit me that… yes, no denying it, it did. My desperation to gain her back in my life led to my terrible decisions; decisions that pushed everyone away. I'm terribly late for the launch but she is more important. I had to drop her off at home first, before I can go. '…you should have seen his face! It was pri
Valeria's standpoint I was feeling sick, very sick. I miss her, I need her back because I knew seeing her again would be close to impossible. Why do I love her so much? Why do I care so much? What has she used on me? I miss her so much. 'Lerry!!!' I can almost hear her voice. 'Lerry!!!' 'Huh?' The door to my room burst open, and Dora ran in with Armando on her shoulders. 'Dora!' I shouted with joy, more tears flowing down. She dropped Armando and ran over to me. I stood up from my bed and hugged her. 'I missed you, I miss you so much.' 'Me too, I came back as soon as I could, sorry, my best friend.'
(There's quite a lot of view change in this chapter) Cookie's standpoint I didn't want to believe what that person said, but my instinct had been pricking me since I slept with him. Something wasn't right. He was hiding something, I could feel it, and it made me uncomfortable. I believed immediately the caller told me. You can't blame me, blame my instinct. I rubbed my hands against my dress nervously, my heart beating very fast as I stood on the roof of the opposite building, waiting for her to come. I came before the time given, I didn't want to be caught off guard or misunderstand anything. My stomach was bubbling with fear and severe anxiousness. Valeria came with me just in case,
Later in the evening, 5pm to be precise. Ted and I managed to sneak out of the living room where the kids were waiting impatiently for Yolanda to arrive. Cookie had something to distract her and keep her away; stare at the door intensely. I made him fall on the bed with our lips still locked in a hungry kiss, my hands trying to get rid of his buttons. His hand was around my waist, the other squeezing one of my cheeks roughly. I moaned into his mouth, throwing my legs over to straddle him. His hands went up to my shirt, ripping it open effortlessly. I giggled and grind myself against him, placing my hands on his chest. A grunt vibrated through his chest, his hands going down to grip my hips. And then it happened. 'Mommy!!!!' I groaned with frustration, falling my head on the crook of his neck. Ted chuckled. 'Why do I feel like she's ka
Back arched, head thrown back on the bed, I moaned endlessly, squirming under him. Ted had his head between my legs as he ate me, driving me insane with pleasure with his tongue, teeth, and fingers. It was the little time we had together, one of our very few moments, and we spent it either talking or filling our sexual life. It wasn't easy, especially when I had a very clingy daughter, she wouldn't let me be for twenty minutes. Most nights, she slept in our room, pushing Ted off the bed to sleep on the floor or anywhere else. It wasn't all bad, Ted was always too busy to care. 'Aaaaaaaah!' Ted jumped away from me with shock, even I did. I sat up immediately, using the duvet to cover myself. 'Daddy, what are you doing to my mother? How dare you bite her?!' Ted glared at me. 'I swear, I locked the door…'
Valeria's standpoint I quickly brought the gun from behind me and fired at his body, angrily finishing all the bullets on him, even after he laid dead. I sniffed as tears streamed down my face, he killed my sister's fiancé. Cookie will be so heartbroken. I searched the room and found a splatter-gun. I angrily used it on him. Carlos ran into the room and gasped at the mess. He looked at me chucklingly. 'It's okay…' 'No! He killed him! Ame's dead! This clone guy killed him!' 'Do you think that the original owner of the formula that formed the clones wouldn't have one or two of himself?' I opened my mouth in shock. 'If this was
Yolanda's standpoint You know what I like about my dad? His trust in me. He didn't look down on me like I was some kind of little girl he must pamper, he didn't underestimate me for my age or size. I told him I wanted to handle my uncle myself and he simply nodded, having a strong faith that I would be okay on my own, and I'm grateful for that. I knew the warehouse he was going to ambush, didn't even need any man but the droids to take care of him. I sat on a chair with legs crossed, drinking from my juice box relaxedly as I waited for him to arrive. The gunshots were getting louder and closer. To him, he was shooting humans and making his way in. 'Gather as many co
Cookie's standpoint There is no such thing as an easy kill, there is no such thing as a piece of cake, at least, not in my world. Everything was going too easily, my mind was on high alert. At first, I thought I was lucky, then I remembered he always seems to come back from the dead all the time. Ted did say he is not an easy man, so how did he fall so easily? Okay, that isn't vital because I know he loves my brain, not me. The thing was that I was feeling off all of a sudden, ever since he disappeared and came back. I couldn't question him, not when he snapped at me not to. Something was wrong somewhere, and I was going to find out. I faked pregnan
Valeria's standpoint I rubbed my hands on the side of my beautiful white dress, for my fake wedding. I was really nervous because if things didn't work out as planned, I would eventually die. Carlos assured me that everything would be okay, but I wasn't convinced at all. I didn't want my first wedding experience to be fake but I didn't have a choice. I smiled nervously as I stared at myself in the mirror, Carlos and Carolyn looking at me with a smile. Well, Carolyn was taking pictures. 'I don't want to do this,' I whined. 'We've been through this, you can, just relax.' 'Am I going to kiss him? I can't kiss my sister's fiancé,' 'For a good course, Ria,' Carlos said, maintaining his cool voice. 'Aren't you jealous? That your girlfriend is going to be kissing another man?' I huffed. 'When I know it's fake?' He asked back, folding his arms. He cocked a brow at me, making me pout and suck on my bottom lip. 'I wanted my first wedding experience with you, this
Cookie's standpoint I stared out of the window of the car as I thought about my life with Braddock for the last three months. I felt like a whore sleeping with him, but I had to do it to avoid suspicion and earn his trust. I earned his trust more when I helped him solve some cases he was finding difficult, helped him planned ambushes on his other enemies. In my three months stay with him, he had gotten richer, more powerful and stronger with my advice. He already trusted me, never did a thing without telling me, never went to any secret meeting without me. The things I found out about him; the things he did for a living, the people betraying my father and Ted was so shocking I almost passed out.  
Cookie's standpoint I looked around the wood colored bedroom, clutching my bag nervously with a fast beating heart. I was in his room, sitting on the cushion while he got me something to drink in the bar. I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to be here. I miss Ted, I miss having him possessively yell at any man who touch or come close to me. Right now, I just needed him to keep me safe from this man. Don't be a coward, Cookie, remember you're doing this for him. You have to survive so you can return to him, your ring is waiting for you. I smiled at my subconscious advice, I had a ring waiting for me. The thought of having him go on his knee
Cookie's standpoint Two weeks later. I wasn't expecting the plan to work so fast, I knew it would be slow but I was missing everyone, missing Italy. I wondered what my family were doing, what Carolyn and dad were doing. She decided that she wanted to be in Italy to take care of Armando who she had bonded with. Valería would be too busy to take care of him, it was perfect. The only thing is that she was with dad and dad was already admiring her. I was scared he would try to use her naivety against her, she wasn't completely alright but sane enough to have a normal life. I had Armando spy on them and promised him that if he cou
