(MELANIE POV):
And here we are. The morning of I and my mom's second day of staying here.
Mom was exhausted from last night's performance and is still sleeping like a log.
Meanwhile, food had already been brought to us this morning by someone that Mr Levinson had sent it to us through.
I opened it and the sweet aroma made my stomach to growl. I am so hungry.
Mom woke a few seconds after I opened the food flask.
"What is that wonderful smell?" Mom asked me.
"It's our breakfast." I said and laughed.
"Well, I'm up now. Shall we begin?" Mom asked, referring to us eating the food.
"Mom. We haven't even brushed our teeth." I said.
"I will go and ask Mr Levinson about that." Mom said.
"About what now?" I asked my mom in disbelief.
"You are really going to ask Mr Levinson for toothbrushes and a place to brush our teeth?" I
17... Later at night...I was so wrapped up in worry. I don't know why but something just doesn't feel right. And it's not just about Mr Levinson's offer which he will tell us tomorrow morning but most about Delanie's staying here.If she is here then there must definitely be a reason behind it right? I know Delanie very well and all things she does is for her own benefit. I have to keep my eyes peeled for anything suspicious.(DELANIE POV):I sat at a corner and couldn't help but stare at Melanie. Wea re twins but yet she looks more beautiful and feminine than I do. Even mom loves here more than me.What is she even thinking about? She doesn't even know I'm looking at her.Few minutes later, mom walks in with a wet body and a towel around her body."Huh? Where did you come from?" I asked, curiosily."I went to take a bath." Mom replied.It was only after she answer
He stood up and started to leave."Hey! Please stop!" I yelled after him.He stopped without turning to look at me."You dropped this." I said, giving him a certain pocket watch. It didn't look like something anyone would still be using in this era.I stood right before him and stretched out my hand with the pocket watch towards him. He immediately collected it then walked faster away.I watched till he was finally out of sight.Poor guy seems to be having things hard. I turned as well and started heading back to where I had come from.I stopped and hit myself on the forehead with my palm. Ugh! I forgot to ask for his name.Oh well. If we are meant to see each other again then it will happen. I just have to return now.After reaching the bar, I saw that it was already filled up. Mom was already performing and I noticed that unlike before, most people around didn't pay
"I didn't until you told me yourself." he replied."I didn't tell you." I retorted."Right. Your actions did. Haha. You sure make stupid moves when you are nervous or stressed out. You could have just disappeared from wherever you were and appeared in your room but you obviously didn't think about that did you?" My uncle said and left.That man really knows me too much.I lay back on my bed and stared at the ceiling. That's when I suddenly remembered that girl. The same girl I had met in the field. Could it be that she is the one?All those years I had searched for the girl who bonded herself to me. The girl who would have the Royal seal tattooed on her body. I just didn't know which part but today...I believe I shall go and search for her in the same place tomorrow.(MELANIE POV)"What's going on?" I asked my mom who was talking with Mr Levinson. Delanie was right beside
"What?!" I exclaimed but the cheering men sunk my voice."Shut up." Mr Levinson said to me and squeezed my wrist.Different men started to bet on me and I could do nothing but watch it happen.All of a sudden I heard Mr Levinson shout."Who did that?! Who hit me?!" he yelled. A stone rattled down the stage. Everyone looked to only one direction and saw my sister standing and with another stone in her hand.She smiled and looked back at everyone who was staring at her."Hey? You all should be happy I stopped this nonsense." Delanie said.Delanie walked passed everyone and unto the stage. She glanced at mr Levinson and then looked at the crowd present in the bar."My sister here hasn't had a bath for some days now and you all are willing to bet on a stinky lady?" Delanie questioned them all.That was kind of a big disgrace but I was glad that she was able
"Explain this!" Melanie bursts at mother.Our mother shook as a result of the sudden shout from Melanie and Melanie stood right before our mother."Tell me the truth." Melanie calmly said to mother."I... I signed you over to him." Mother stated."I don't understand. Make me understand." Melanie said."To work with Mr Levinson as a pole dancer... It's... It's like an oath. Contracts are signed with blood and..." Mother paused."And what?!" Melanie asked. I could see and feel her nervousness turning to fear and disbelief.I myself couldn't budge from the spot where I was standing."I signed you off to him and now he owns you." Mother confessed.Melanie finally lost it and started shaking mother back and forth."Why?! I thought I was your daughter! I thought you loved me!" Melanie screamed.The whole thing happened like it was rig
I placed my arm around her shoulder and made her lean on mine. I had no idea what to say to her so I just let her lean on me. I don't have any idea how it would help but I hoped that it would. Minutes later, Melanie Sat up straight and then got up on her feet. She looked at me. "I think some space will do you good." I said to her. Melanie smiled at me and I felt happy seeing her smile. I remained seated on the grass covered field while Melanie returned. Just moments later I felt a cold chill in me. To the usual cold blow of wind but something different. it was followed by a touch from behind which jolted me off my feet. "What the hell! Who are you?!" I yelled when I saw a man dressed in black and his nose and mouth hidden under a long flowing scarf. "We meet again." he said in a somewhat soft tone of voice. I stared hard and long. I was sure I had seen this m
23"Please madam. Calm down." I pleaded with the woman."Calm down? You want me to calm down? That was a gift from my mother in law's family and now it's in the hands of that filthy thief! the woman shouted." Wait madam. How are you sure she is the one who took it?" Mr Levinson questioned."That's the dumbest question I've heard so far. I saw her take it of course." the woman answered."Okay. Then prove it." Mr Levinson said."Go ahead and search the girl. I give you my permission since they are under me and this is my bar you are in." Mr Levinson added.Mr Levinson signalled for Delanie to walk forward and she did. Delanie had no choice but to allow the stranger search her as Mr Levinson said.The woman searched Delanie and found nothing at the end."What?! This is not possible" the woman exclaimed."I take it you didnt find your ring madam." Mr levinson said."It can not be possible. i clea
24After what must have taken up to a minute i finally heard a splash. i still waited a few seconds before taking some pictures first and then making a video. I felt sorry for my sister for what i was doing to her but i was sure that all would be alright.After all, there would be no need to use the video if she complies. And besides, i am only doing her a favour. Both the jobs are the same but there is a good difference. I will be paid ten percent of her earnings.Hm. I guess i'm the only one benefitting from it. Oh well, who cares anyways. Ever since the beginning she and mom treated me like i was an outsider so why should i care what happens to her right after this?I ended the video after a clear view of her face appeared in it and then i returned to the bar. Mr levinson was alreadly looking for my sister it appears and i walked up to him.Where is your sister? There are guests here who have already paid to watch her perform." he
