PROLOGUE
LEENA'S POVMy phone beeped and a text from Maxxy came in."Come to the blueberry garden"
I blushed a little. Maxxy enjoyed spending time with me at that garden but today the weather wasn't pleasant, it looked like it's going to rain soon. So I texted him back.
"It's going to rain soon"
"Just come, I want to watch the rain with you", he texted back.
I smiled, blushing again Maxxy knows just how to make me happy. I quickly got ready and left for the garden.
I stood there waiting patiently for him.
After about 10mins, there was no sign of maxxy. I got up nervously as the rain began to fall first in small droplets and then the large drops drained my hair.I suddenly caught sight of a man, but I couldn't see his face too clearly, he moved swiftly to me.
Before I could scream, I felt a heavy metal hit my head., I tried to gain balance, but everything went blank.
ARIANA'S POV
The blueberry forest was blooming with the bread fruits in bright blue colour.
I put my boot on the mud and plucked the fruit yanking it into my mouth, delicious.
I was still busy chewing at the berry fruits when it started raining, first in small droplets, then the heavy drops fell on me, wetting my hair and body.
I knew had to run to shelter.As I moved to stand under one of the trees,I suddenly noticed movements behind me.
I quickly turned just in time and saw man on dark hoods dragging a body towards the deep part of the forest. I couldn't see his face but I acted quickly hiding behind a tree.I watched him drop the body and disappeared into the woods.
My brows furrowed as I wondered what was happening. Out of curiosity,I ran out of my hiding place towards the body.
When I got closer,I noticed the body was a girl...No... a lady.
I looked around in fear again. Someone had murdered her!
I gently uncovered her face and gasped in shock!Lying down there was me!
I looked at her face again and it was me lying down there lifeless.Wait, did I say me? I'm standing here, but the lady on the floor is definitely me. Same hair, same face, same body build.Still in shock, I felt a hand wrap round my neck, I tried to turn, it the man on the dark hood.
He wriggled my throat till I was begging and gasping for breath.
He suddenly dropped me to the floor, bent down and whispered.
"DARK DESIRES...."
"Wh.... what are you...",I stuttered trying to understand what he was saying.
But then I felt a heavy metal on my head. I felt everything blacking out.
Chapter 1 ARIANA'S POVI tried forcing my eye open,feeling a slight pain at the back of my head. The throbbing headache I felt was being calmed by someone Patting my hair, caressing it softly.It's definitely Dad, no one else could be so close to me right now.I opened my eyes and tried to look at the person on whose laps I was resting. At first I thought I was just seeing things, but when I actually opened my eyes, it was him, it was this bastard!"Rick!!!", I yelled jumping up in anger.What is this murderer doing here?, even caressing me?" You're awake Leena ",he said softly trying to touch me.I beat his hands away in utter anger." How dare you try to touch me?, are you mad?, you fool!, You murderer ",
Chapter 2 LEENA'S POVI stared at Maxxy confused and hurt. Why would he bring up my dad's issue?,he knows how much I miss him,mom killed him....no,I don't want to talk about that now.I turned to Maxxy pissed off."Stop talking trash and take me home Maxwell!""Who is Maxwell?",he asked looking sincerely confused.I dragged him and turned his arm,he didn't have that scar and tatto on the back of his arm. This person isn't Maxxy,but damn he's Maxxy.I mean he really looks like him.Same eyes,same nose,ear,face and damn same lips....those lips that attracted me wholly to him,strong and sensual."Where am I please?" ,I asked the confusion eating me up."Have you suddenly forgotten where you from miss?,Zino village!",he half yelled at me." Zino village?",I repeated again in confusion.Where is Zino village?,
Chapter 3 LEENA'S POV"What do you mean by you don't know your way home?" Rick asked.I'm now used to calling him Rick because he certainly isn't Maxxy,no matter how strickening the resemblance is."I'm serious. Ok,just take me home. Do me this one favor and I won't trouble you again",I said"Are you okay Ariana?,like I should take you home?. Don't you know your way home?""Look,you have to believe me,I'm not Ariana,I'm really not Ariana""Then who are you?a dog?,cow?,goat?",he asked smirking."Yes I'm a dog,cow and goat",I replied and walked closer to him taking his hands."Please,I'm lost here. Just take me home. I want to see my Dad"I could see in his eyes that he softened at my touch. After awhile he agreed to and we both walked 'home'.When we got there,a man was sitting at the veranda. Not just
Chapter 4 LEENA'S POVI sat over the fire with Dad.My Dad,I've so missed him that it makes my heart ache right now."Do you want bacon Dad?" ,I asked and he looked up from the paper he was holding."Bacon?,since when did you know how to make Bacon?"he asked looking at me strangely."I....i....emm...emmm...Rick taught me",I lied,a very stupid lie but don't blame me,Rick's the only name I know here."Rick?,and since when did you become friends with him?""Dad....we're not friends,but I mean,I'm just em.....uhmm..",i shuttered not knowing what to say."Are you alright Ariana?",he asked softly.I smiled,a little tear flickee from my eye,I've missed this fatherly voice. I've missed my Dad carrying me fondly,I miss having a parent.Dont even talk about my mom,she's worst,really worst."I'm fine daddy.....
Chapter 5 LEENA'S POVI went in search of Rick. I needed to talk to him so Dad won't know I'm not really Ariana.I turned to an old woman passing by"Mam,do you know where I can find Rick?",I asked.She looked strangely at me for something and laughed."Wanna blow his intestines out?,I wouldn't tell you so the cops won't hold me down" she said walking out..I looked at her in confusion. What does she mean by "...blow his Intestines out"?I waved it off and kept looking buh no one wanted to tell me. According to them,I and Rick always loved to cause trouble even for them..I stopped at a Road side ice cream shop,the man standing there looks familiar but I waved it away, I'm sure I don't know anyone here."Sir, I'm... actually..I'm.. looking for Rick",I said stuttering."Wanna make his nose bleed?",he teased.I smiled nervousl
Chapter 6 LEENA'S POVAfter a few lectures from Rick,he told me that Ariana teaches Taekwondo. I was seriously taken aback."How can a girl fight kung fu?",I asked alarmed."Girls around here are good in kung fu""That's strange,it's not feminine to fight"."Don't girls learn kung fu in your world",he asked Mockingly,he obviously stressed the world in his statement."We don't,we act gentle and noble. We're city girls of course. What we do is dress city latest fashion,that's makes us female".He started laughing. After a while he shook his head at me."You've gone crazy""I know",I replied,what's the use arguing with him?We soon got to the Taekwondo center,I looked around confused,I don't even know what Taekwondo means. I was hesitant at first but Rick urged me further."Ms.Ariana!!",one of t
Chapter 7 MAXXY'S POV I couldn't believe Leena was beating those guards up. The Leena that I know never fought, infact in Zino city,a girl who knows how to fight is considered a social abomination. After seeing how she skillfully beat up those guards,I was rest assured that this lady isn't Leena Rashford. "Who are you?", I asked again. We were both sitting down face to face and she was smoking as usual. "Ariana Williams", she replied puffing some smoke into the air. "You fight?" "Uhm, Superior A in taekwondo", she replied showing me her ID card. It read... Name: Ariana WilliamsAge: 20Origin: Zino villageRank: SUPERIOR A. Well, she's saying the truth, she's not Leena. "Smoking is injurious to the health", I said and she just looked at me. "Ariana, you have to stop smoking,it's
Chapter 8 ARIANA'S POV For the first time I thoroughly surveyed Ariana's room.It smelt of feminity with lovely touches.Everything looked potable but obviously expensive.I couldn't believe all those would be mine for the next seven days. My gaze went from the wallpapers to the bed,to the reading tables and finally I found myself staring at her large wardrobe. Gently I unlocked it and my breath went away. Her wardrobe was stuffed with rich beautiful dresses,but they looked too feminine for me.I preferred the rough looking dresses.I searched around for any pack of cigarettes but found non.I sighed as I remembered celebrities don't smoke.Crap!This Leena girl must be too soft hearted. I found a little box and opened it. Inside lay a picture of her smiling. I took the picture out and stared at it. Her hair was in shady
