Marie's pov:"All packed ma'am,"I smiled at the middle aged lady infront of me as my dimples popped passing the package to her."Thank you,Marie,"she answered back as she read my name tag.She's one of our clients.I've been working at Estelle Couture for two years now.It was a small fashion brand back when I got hired.I was hired six months after the launching of this brand and three years later it is the most famous fashion brand in the country.In these years that have been working here I've never seen the owner of Estelle Couture.Not only I but also the employees including the manager himself.I waved back at the sweet lady as she takes her exit.It was closing time and there was no other client which had me grinning as the day ends.I was eager to head home after a tiresome day of fake smiles and giggles.I don't have alot of friends of which most will think am a loner but no. I do love my own company.All employees includi

Marie's pov:After pushing away the painful memories,it's then I realized I was done with my hot chocolate and only then did I notice the salty tears rolling down my cheeks making my eyes puffy.The rain had stopped pouring as a clear sky was visible showing the beautiful stars.Reminiscing my mother's last words I knew it was time for me to fullfil my promise.I mean,A promise is a debt and the only time you can't fullfil it's only when out of necessity. Now was the right time.Taking my cup,I went to the kitchen to wash it and jumped on the bed.I turned off my alarm as usual I wake up at 5:00am work out then leave for work at 7:00 only to get there by 8:00am.Our manager is one tough cookie to crack,a minute late he will lecture you to for being tardy wishing you'd crawl back and never be seen.I sigh as I take out my contacts for my disguise looks.After all have been through and deciding to cloak myself as Marie,I also had to change my lo

The Cloaked Damsel/leeafrikana
Marie's/Rosa's pov:Pressing the elevator buttons I can't help but evocate the good times with my parents.We were just an ordinary family,my father was lawyer while my mother was just an ordinary florist.We did own a big piece of land not as big as the luxurious side of the town did but enough for my mom to plant flowers,dad to raise his horses and enough to have a medium sized house not too boujee and not for a middle class rank.Lets say in between.After the fire,I started doing my own digging.It took a while but i came to know who was behind the arson.Later on I realised they were selling the land for few pennies,so I got one of my workers,Ella to be sure,to buy the land and sell it later to me.Ella was the only person who knew of my identity and also the bestfriend I had after the arson.At work we never acted as friends but we still kept in touch.After selling the land back to me,I started building back a mansion at the same time growing la

The Cloaked Damsel/leeafrikana
Rosa's pov: I sat back on my chair looking out the window watching the busy street.After giving Kayla her day off I decided to go through the pile of files that Jeremy dropped at my office before leaving.So far he had fired over twenty five employees over pety issues.He made me do double work because currently I was just relaxing after calling all ex-employees and compesate for Jeremy's rudeness,while I offered back their jobs to those who still had not got employed. It was currently two in the afternoon,I skipped lunch just to get done with all the work I had at the office.I also made few phone calls one of them being a moving company.It was time for me to go back to my home,yes I was moving in with Ella. We agreed to move out tonight from Eight at night.I didn't want to create a fuss considering anyone in that neighborhood would recognise my pale face and grey eyes.Everyone believed that am dead,so me showing up would ruin my plans.

The Cloaked Damsel/leeafrikana
Rosa's pov:It was friday,which meant both Ella and I won't go to work tomorrow.It was around 9:00pm,an hour later after unpacking.Ella decided that we should just chill and watch netflix and thats what we are currently doing.The ping from the microwave had Ella run to the kitchen,I just laughed at how childish she is.Old habits die youngShe always had some type of fetish towards popcorns or I can say obsession.She came back with a bowl of popcorns grinning while looking at them,how cute."Ella,I was thinking of hosting a family dinner tomorrow at six in the evening,"I said turning to her."Its fine by me,but what technically do you want me to do because we all know you can't contact them out of the blues,Belle you are supposed to be dead,"She other than my parents was the only person who called me Belle,and I loved it because I always considered her my sister."I want to let them know am alive,you just have to contact them tonigh

William's pov:I have had my fair share with clubbing,I told myself I won't step a foot at any club nor a bar,may it be in this town or else where.But hey,here I am again at the most luxurious club and talk of the town.No am not drinking,well my bestfriend decided to pay a visit and drunk to the point he can't drive himself.So here I am dragging his drunk ass out of the club to my car.Something big might have happened for him to drink past his limit."Dude,I feel like puking,"he slurred as he tried to get ahold of himself."Don't puke in my car,let me stop and do your business in the trash can outside,"I said in a rush as I let him out.It took me alot to bring him in my car and that is when he responds.Not long he got back in the car and passed out.It was one long ride to my pent house."Hey,wake up!we are home,"I tried shaking him but he didn't buldge.Talk about being a heavy sleeper."I can't believe I have to car

Rosa pov: I watched as the glass shattered on the floor loving the effect I gave off.Whispers could be heard all around the room. My eyes fixed on the shattered glass on the floor.Reminded of who I was,broken but what kept me going was knowing a broken glass is always the sharpest.It made me move from my darkest days to my brightest but this is just a tip of an iceberg.I smiled raising my head meeting William's pale face. Next to him was Jeremy,I knew well they were friends but not close friends. "You are supposed to be dead,"I tried not to cringe over Laura's voice.Her and I have been arch-nemesis since we were little.I knew my presence made her insecure. Taking a glass of wine,I descend the stairs smiling.My nonna rushed to me,thinking I would just vanish. "come fai a vivere?"nonna asked.[how are you alive?] "Almeno sono vevo,"I answered back embracing the warm feeling.[atleast I am alive] Shock

The Cloaked Damsel/leeafrikana
William's POV:I couldn't think straight.She was pregnant claiming that the baby is mine.The last time I saw her was three years ago so how can she be pregnant with my child.Resentment is all I felt right now.I was so enraged with the fact that she would stop so low and lie just to get me back.I could feel the burning gaze Laura was giving me and I knew she wanted answers from me thinking I cheated on her but right now I could care less about her judgemental thoughts.I didn't realize I was blinded by anger until I saw that my knuckles were white with veins noticable.I stormed off searching for Isabella or Isabelle considering people call her both names.The room was filled with hushed whispers as people gave me questioning looks.I was more confused because how can she lie when all I knew was dead.Today was the first time I saw her after thinking she was dead.I will say I'll applause for her coz she is a good actor.It was then I saw two silhouette standi

The Cloaked Damsel/leeafrikana
Rosa's POV:I couldn't help the smirk growing on my face as I remember William's facial expression.He expected me to be naive.I know you all wondering why am so chill even after everything he has done but to be honest I mask my emotions too well.I despise the man he turned out to be but that doesn't mean I don't love the baby inside of me.He or she is just a result of his mistakes but he or she is a blessing to me.I didn't expect more coz I knew he would reject the pregnancy but shock on him,I don't want my kid near him knowing what he has done.People had left only few remained and I could see Nonna at the kitchen wrapping the left overs with Elle as they kept them in the fridge.Elle had puffy eyes,after I enlightened her on how I got pregnant she was so pissed off at me for not telling her and the last thing I needed is her giving me silent treatment.Am glad she understood when I told her not to tell Nonna but I knew with time I'd have to talk to her.

The Cloaked Damsel/leeafrikana
Laura's POV:I looked at William needing answers.After getting the information that Isabella was dead I was relieved.Call me cold hearted but I hated her guts.I hated the fact that she had attention from everyone.Ever since we were kids we never liked each other so does my mother.I never understood why my mother hated her sister but I couldn't bother ask her.She passed down the resentment to me.I tried everything I could do to push Isabella to the limit but she never reacted,I knew I was hurting her but when she kept her distance from me I was glad yet I wasn't satisfied until I heard she died in the fire.After her death William and I became this power couple in a few months."Not now Laura,"William said with a no more word tone.I gaped at him because this is the first time he ever shut me down.Jeremy was standing beside me in deep thoughts.I had alot of questions but the fact that Isabella is back and now pregnant with William's child I couldn'
