"I'm sorry. Your daughter looks like someone I know." Miranda said, getting a hold of herself.
She led them in and Ema was dropped on the sofa.
"So Ema looks exactly like this girl you are talking about?" Mrs Contreras quizzed further.
"Yes." Miranda answered, "If I didn't know better. I'd say they are identical twins."
"So do you happen to know where this girl is?"
Miranda choked on what she was about to say. It brought too many unpleasant memories but she just had to spill,
"She's dead."
"Oh... How did she die?"
"Now the questions we're getting strange. Why did she want to know so much?" Miranda thought.
"She fell off a cliff."
"That's very sad. I'm sorry for asking but I just feel intrigued that someone could look exactly like my daughter, who was she to you?"
Mr Contreras came for his wife and dragged her away from Miranda.

"You again," Ema said to Rodriguez.The latter made sure he had another sip of his orange juice before speaking."I'm sorry, Have we met?"Ema became a bit confused. He had to be the one from Tower, the one who called her Adriana.She couldn't be losing it so quickly."You from the company where my father works. Are you the one that helped us...you know from the goons?""Actually..." Miranda cut in seeing Ema wasn't even taking notice od the others on the table, "I did. How do you feel now?""Better I guess," Ema answered.Ema stole another look at Rodriguez as she walked sluggishly to the table."Adriana!" Nathan joyously exclaimed, his usual bubbly self.Ema did not miss it. He called her Adriana so she had to be in the right house since the man in front of her called her that last time.Miranda could smell the tension in the room, especially between Rodriguez and Adriana's lookalike.What could be wrong?

Rodriguez exited the house before he could hear more of what Ema or Adriana had to say.She's playing a game.Rodriguez knew it and he had the proper way to deal with it.She would wish she remained dead.His driver opened the front door of the car to let him in before shutting it."Where are we going?""To meet someone."Chale failed him horribly and he and his family was surely going to suffer the consequences of the inconvenience.Now he had to make new schemes. Ema finally made it to the Tocci house, he needed a new plan and surely one that was fail-proof.Ema's family especially her mother was reluctant and had this distrust about Miranda. He could surely use that to his advantage.But Nathan...Yes! Even if Ema was just a lookalike there was a possibility she could help Nathan remember. He had to remind the maid to fulfill her tasks.He picked up his phone and called."Hello,

"Are you ok?" Nathan asked, catching Ema before she could fall."Yes," Ema assured, getting back on her feet.Was that a memory?If it was, who was that man?The photo that had triggered that memory was a wedding photo, Was she..."No!.." Ema cut that thought off almost immediately.Why in the world would she be married? It was just so absurd."It could be a wedding she attended in the past."Ema finally concluded and let go of the awful thought.She took the picture from Nathan and examined it, her focus mostly on Adriana.How could two people have such a striking resemblance?"What was she like?" Ema asked Nathan.She was certain he wouldn't be able to answer her due to his condition but at least, he would be able to say something nice or something he remembered about her."She was very stubborn but she had a good heart." He replied in his infant voice."That'

Mrs. Contreras didn't answer and the awkward silence was getting disturbing.She could say no and he, could not let that happen."Are you having second thoughts, Mrs. Contreras?" Rodriguez said to the phone."I—just don't want her to hate me, I feel bad enough hiding the truth from her."She was indeed having second thoughts.Rodriguez then instantly knew he had to step up his game if he was going yo stand a chance in pushing her to his side of the battle line."I know Mrs. Contreras but you don't know what family she comes from. If you have the internet, just search on the Romero's. She comes from a wealthy and influential family herself and I'm sure even if she remembers nothing, She still has her flaws."Rodriguez then went on to mention some of the flaws."But if I manage to stop her from seeing the Tocci, How do I stop her from remembering?""Hypnotism," Rodriguez answered. "I have done research on the best

"She called Miranda."Rodriguez read the text again.It had taken him from his wife's warmth at 10 in the night.It didn't take him to guess who Camille was referring to.He stretched his aching joints in the small space the closet had.What to do now?,He muttered to himself as he searched for Mr Contreras' contact."Hello Mr Contreras." He acknowledged when the call went through."It's me." A hushed voice whispered back.Rodriguez could not believe she still held on to the phone. She must really want Adriana badly. All in favor of him though."Adriana reached out to the Tocci's. How?""How am I supposed to know? The phone was in my hands all day." She snapped."We'll fix it." Rodriguez retorted and cut the phone.Immature, He mumbled before the closet's door creaked open."Rod, Why are you here?""I was just checking—what to wear tomorrow, I'll be leaving quite early.

The ambulance made it early to the scene after being called by a good Samaritan who lived close by.Police sirens also screaming loudly into the night.Mrs Romero watched Adriana being carted away in a gurney for treatment as the police questioned her about the accident.She explained to the detail what happened to blame Walter for being reckless.Just then she remembered Walter.She turned to the mangled vehicle to see Firemen trying to get Walter out."Were you also involved in the accident?" The policeman asked."I was in the car." She rudely retorted wondering why he would ask such a dumb question."Then you better get a checkup."Mrs Romero took the officer's advice and joined the ambulance before it left.The vehicle took no time in getting to the hospital. Walter and Adriana's lookalike were rushed to the emergency ward.Ema is immediately hurried to the room prepared for her.The doctors

"Get my phone!"Miranda yelled to the passageway that Camille disappeared to a minute ago.She discovered Camille wasn't answering. Her son continued to slip away, the quick Revelation that her son might be no more in the matter gave Miranda the distorted memory she lost. She immediately reached into her pocket and brought out her phone before dialing the emergency number as quick as she could.Soon the loud silence is replaced by the loud siren noises.The three minutes were the longest Miranda had ever faced as she watched her son being strapped into the vehicle for treatment."Is he alright?" She frantically quizzed a paramedic attending to him. The woman ignored her and continued to do her work.The ambulance started to move and Miranda took her seat praying to God to save her son."Your son is alright now." The doctor assured Miranda in his office."But I have to ask you a question, Your son was being poisoned. He was being f

Nathan flinched feeling a sting in his wrist. He forced his tired lids opened. His eyes burned not used to the light.The first question to pop into his mind was 'where was he?'He sat up and his arm stung again. He turned and ripped away the needle that caused the pain.He could now make out that he was in a hospital but he couldn't make out why.I survived.Nathan remembered being shot. He checked the spot to see the bullet wound.It was odd to just see a scar in place of what was supposed to be a fresh wound.He let his finger linger around the scar wondering why it healed so fast.He got out of his bed trying to stretch and ponder on what was happening.Someone at the left whimpered, like they were in pain.He turned to where the noise came from."Adriana!"He rushed to her bedside.Her face was squeezed and she continued to breathe heavily.It had to be a nightmare."Nathan!"

Rodriguez noticed his wife staring at him and decided to scold her for not helping."You know honey, you always insist on doing everything but today, you don't seem to want to help. Are you alright?"She was stunned."I'm alright. I just don't see the need to go with them. We can go on our own.""Nonsense. You hardly relate with anyone, I'm doing this for you.""Are you sure or is it something else?" She spilled before she could think straight."Ok. What's wrong?" Rodriguez demanded, getting closer to her.She could barely breathe seeing him so close to her. Her self defense instinct went haywire.She almost compulsively took out the knife she has hidden on her to protect herself.She hadn't slept last night, not with the fear that he would kill someone and when she did, the terrible nightmares interfered."Maybe you shouldn't go." Rodriguez put in."I'm going!" She almost yelled.She had to keep a w

Nathan left the doorway he had leaned on to earlier and approached Adriana.He had given her enough time to grieve.The cops had already left and all that was left of the murder was the bloody words on the floor."What do you want to do now?" Nathan asked a frozen Adriana."I don't know." She answered and looked around the house that took her in. The only place she could call home for three years and now that she knew she was not alone, This happened. Fate would not just stop fucking with her.She remembered the words her late mother had engraved to the ground with her own blood.Ro!What could it mean?"Are you ok?" Nathan inquired.Was she ok? Why would he even asked that... Someone she knew just died and there was a high chance she could have if she hadn't gone with him.She couldn't blame him, he must feel awkward from the situation and sensing his relationship with the Contreras, it was

She nudged the old man.The man nodded and stepped on it.The rough road made her hold on to her swollen stomach feeling each bump the car suffered affect her aching back and the baby inside.Soon, they arrived at a village.She couldn't understand what her husband planned to do here but she had a gut feeling, evil looked close by.She instructed the driver to stop when she saw her suspect turn around in their direction, his eyes were bloodshot, they had no mercy.He flimsily checked around even peering in her direction but as the good Lord would have it, he dis not approach the vehicle that had been following him for minutes.She saw her husband pay a bulge in his back pocket and proceed to where he was headed.That was the gun,She could swear.Maybe she was right, Rod was in some kind of trouble.

Fuck! Pick up the phone you bastard!Rodriguez tried Nathan again only to be cut off again.What could he do now?, He thought.The Contreras had disappointed him and now Nathan was spending time with that girl.If Adriana managed to get just a fragment of who she was, she would question the Contreras and there was no way his name would not be given out.Shit! Why was this happening to him?His enemies had tripled. If only he has put an end to Adriana the time he met her.Nathan would surely be trying to make her remember her past but the problem was where they would be.Rodriguez had sixty percent certainty that he would take her back to their family.Of course, Rodriguez snapped his fingers finally getting his shit together.Now all that was left was to send Chale spying while he went to have a talk with the Contreras.He pulled up a gun from his drawer, the cold metal made him

"Hello, Dr. Suarez."Mrs Romero wasn't expecting a call from Dr. Suarez this earlyThere could only be one reason why he was calling, For her, this was the moment of truth, she was ready for anything."It's about the DNA results."Mrs Romero remembered to take deep breaths in case it didn't come out as she had expected."I don't believe this but Ema shares your DNA."Mrs Romero choked on her own saliva.This was definitely not what she had imagined."Dr Suarez... Ema... is Adriana?""Yes." The man replied."Excuse me." Mrs Romero said before putting the call on hold and running around the room like she was on fire."She's alive!"Her newfound joy took the wrong turn when she remembered that Ema wasn't in the hospital anymore.She vividly remembered watching her go with the wrong people.It shattered every good moment she had planned to share with the world - her workers.She retu

"What will I tell father," Ema thought as she walked back to the reception.She had been so rash that she accepted to go on a date with Nathan.It was stupid but yes, she complied.Seeing her father in such a foul mood at the reception made things a whole lot awful go her."Dad..." She made her presence known to him."Ema, why did you run off like that? Are you ok?" Mr Contreras demanded, examining he like he was sure she had been molested in his office.The punk's lips was a devilish temptation and the sparks she felt when their body met was alarming, apart from that, Ema knew she was untainted."I'm fine Dad.""So what did he tell you?""You got your job back."She expected her father to be shocked or doubtful but instead, he was angry."What! How!""I don't understand you Dad, Didn't you want the job back?""Ema, I want you to tell me the truth and now, What did he do? Did he say anything?""No...

Gasps and look of pure shock was all Nathan said as he walked up to his office.The surprised looks of his workers were funny at first but with him receiving it everywhere, it was becoming disturbing.It was almost like no one wanted him back.He wasn't the most social but at least they could pretend to care.Nathan got over their stares, focused on getting to his office.He adjusted his black three-piece suit and unlocked the knob to his office.The place was just like how it left itExcept for the position of his office chair.Nathan wasn't a fan of that check so he tried to change it himself.At that moment, someone knocked on the door before opening,A woman in her mid-twenties walked in, caramel-skinned and very lanky, the model body structure."Good morning Mr. Tocci, I'm the new secretary" she informed in a professional voice."Good. I'd like to have an appointment with the top workers in t

So now she's awake.Nathan watched Ema stretch out her hands and run her eyes before she opened them to reveal the darkest chestnut brown orbs.This kind of beauty only belonged to his wife. If she was truly a lookalike, they couldn't share exactly the same features."Where am I?" Ema mumbled, shocked to see herself in the hospital."The hospital. Isn't it obvious?"Ema turned to see who was talking."Nathan…""I see you know my name. Do you like it?"Nathan got up the bed he was in and approached her.Ema could feel her breath slipping away when he got too close for comfort.He was so close to her face that she could see his peach soft lips were natural."You must be Ema, Ema Contreras," Nathan noted.Ema ran her hands her short hair just to get the awkwardness of the situation out of her mind.What she didn't understand was why he was talking different. His stance had even changed. She suspected
