All Chapters of The Substitute Twin: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

HAYLEY"Sister Hayley!" The kids at the orphanage shouted my name upon entering the main gate. They ran towards me with a wide smile on their faces. "Hey, don't run!" I yelled. "Watch out! You might fall!" I warned them, running quickly to catch the kids. "Just wait for me at the entrance!" The kids didn't listen to me though. They kept on running towards my direction until they reached me and all of them circled around me. Some of them holding my hands, others hugging my legs, and some just jumped because they were so happy to see me. It's been years since I last visited the orphanage. They're about 4 to 7 years old. I chuckled upon remembering the scenario from years ago. I used to be like them as I stayed in the orphanage until I graduated college. The kids showed me so much happiness and excitement that it reminded me of how simple life is growing up. All I want before was to get gifts from Sister Mary whenever she goes to the city. "Sister Hayley! We missed you so much," Ben,

HAYLEY“I want you to act as your twin sister.”It wasn’t a request, but a command, like he was talking to me as if he was my boss. He isn’t. He is my father as he said so I appreciate at least a bit of concern…or perhaps a hug that says he was happy to see me. However, it seems like my twin sister is more important than me.“I am not getting what you want from me,” I replied.“Well, what part did you not get?” It was the woman now. “Your sister is missing and we need someone to pretend to be her for the wedding to happen. Of course, you will do it because you certainly looked alike.”The woman raised her brow as she looked at me from head to toe like she was trying to find my soul. Indeed, we do look alike because we are identical twins but her life was different from the life I have known so it’s impossible to do the job. I don’t even wear heels which my twin sister happens to have as her closet only has those.“Hayley…” My father held my hand. I am surprised he even knew my name. “J

HAYLEY"Will you marry me, Hayley Marie Basco?" Those words kept ringing in my mind as I tried to think of what I have done in the past to deserve this situation. Few days ago, my long-time boyfriend Harold Wilton proposed to me and I said yes to him. His charming smile was still vivid to me as he reached for my lips and kissed me in front of the people who had witnessed our love for each other. We were already planning our wedding. But, guess what?I am standing in this white-laced dress in front of a man who is supposed to be Harold, but due to unforeseen circumstances it's a stranger who didn't even propose to me. “Do you take Harriet Marie Parker as your lawfully wedded wife, Jin Holland Cavill?” I am not Harriet! I wanted to shout that from the top of my lungs if it would mean I can stop the wedding. However, I am sure that it will make things worse. I decided to agree to the wedding as I don't have any choice. Harriet is still missing or maybe really dead. My life is also a

HAYLEY“Wait, wait. What? No! Stop!”I pulled my hand from Jin so he would stop from dragging me inside the boardroom. I wasn’t prepared. He didn’t tell me that I have to meet all the members of their company, let alone sit with them. I mean, what for? I am just his pretend wife.“Is there a need for this? I am just your pretend wife. Why would you want me to meet them?”He raised his brow. “What?”He looked so confused everytime I spoke that I questioned every word and action that Harriet had done in front of him. No one even taught me how to be Harriet in front of Jin!“Why are you suddenly changing your decisions? Aren’t you the one who proposed to me that I’ll give you a seat on the board?”I blinked. My throat is dry. Gosh! Harriet! What has she done in her life for me to suffer like this?I didn’t know what to say. I had to process everything and do something that would make sense in front of Jin. Otherwise, he would start thinking that I am a fraud.“What? You’re wasting my time
