HAYDEN'S POV
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
I reached out to touch her.
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
Her lips were trembling.
It was all fault.
"Please don't hurt me..."
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three n
A few weeks later Doctor Anthony had kept a close eye on Elizabeth monitoring her reaction 24/7.He noticed that she was very unhappy at the hospital so he had suggested that she should be discharged and taken home in order to recover quickly.That afternoon Elizabeth was put under heavy medication to help her calm her nerves. Doctor Anthony gave Verona injections containing Elizabeth's medication.Hayden had kept his distance and he stayed away from Elizabeth but guilt always ate him up.He couldn't face her after everything that had happened.Verona was summoned by doctor Anthony and he wanted to discuss Elizabeth's condition."Give her these injections when she starts having seizures it will help calm her down."" But if there's any emergency don't hesitate to call me and visit the hospital once a week with Elizabeth I'll need to give her a check."
A month later Elizabeth started attending therapy. Bit by bit she started getting better but unfortunately she suffered from a series of nightmares due to the terrible incident.Dead bodies of Mark,Jerry and Andrew were found in the woods. The sight of them was very unpleasant.The police assumed it was the wild animals that might have attacked but only Hayden and Elizabeth knew the real truth behind their deaths.A party was held in order to welcome Elizabeth. The college was very supportive and she was very happy.She wore a black lace mini dress that exposed her back paired off with black heels. Hayden was also at the party but as usual he kept ignoring her.They had bumped into each other a few times but he kept his distance"Hayden wait."He turned around and faced her."Dance with me please."
When it was night time Elizabeth used her hair pins to unlock the door.She saw this in a movie by the way and she thought it would be cool if she tried lucky for her it worked.She tossed the locks aside and checked the Streets before opening the door once the coast was clear she opened the door and little Bingo ran past her.The little husky was very excited.Elizabeth turned on her flashlight and began to explore the mysterious house.She quitely closed the door behind her.And released the breath she was holding suddenly invading Hayden's personal space felt wrong.It felt wrong but she couldn't resist the temptation she needed to found out what Hayden was hiding.She opened the door not knowing that it was Hayden's bedroom little Bingo barked and ran past her into the room.The pup knocked down a photo and it fell to the ground causi
Elizabeth was shattered when she recalled Haydens cruel words.He hated her because she looked like his late wife Azalea.But that wasn't her fault and she had no idea that she had a look alike.Once she was home she was determined to find out the truth.She went to her mother's bedroom and started searching for clues.When all hope was lost she came across a photo album and dairy but it wasn't her.It was written in bold letters AZALEA.Azalea wasn't her look alike she was her twin sister. In the diary her mother had written that she had given birth to twins, precisely girls.The hospital had swapped the babies due to some selfish motive.The photo album was full of photos of Azalea when she was a kid and in her teen years.The last one was taken on her wedding day.Her mother
FLASHBACKAzalea's eyes fluttered closed. The doctor took the liberty of covering her with a white bedsheet. Before he could walk out a figure dressed in black clothes was leaning against the door.The doctor was stunned at first but he recovered fast."What happened to her? The mysterious man asked curiously.The doctor glaced at Azalea's corpse over his shoulder and turned to the man."Sir she had lost too much blood while giving birth she couldn't make it but the baby survived. It's very unfortunate" he says sadly.The man folds his arms over his chest and a deep frown appears on his face."What about her family?""Her husband just rushed out of the hospital like a mad man. Maybe he went to call his family members. I'll try to contact him again" said the doctor and immediately left the room.
PRESENT DAYShe felt a lot of different emotions, mostly anger was the main one. She bawled her hands into fists when she recalled Hayden's rejection and what had transpired that fateful day.She was filled with rage but yet felt saddened by the bitter truth that Hayden was in love with his late wife.A woman who looked exactly like Elizabeth but yet ended up being her long lost twin sister.Her mother had been keeping such a big secret from her for so many years and now her sister was gone. And she never got to know her well or form a sisterly bond for years; she has always been lonely and wanted a sibling.She didn't know that the operation had damaged her mother's womb and she lost the chance to be ever a mother again.Now all the years were wasted alone.She clung to her jacket and held it tightly as she shivered from the cold weather.She ended up coming to the park in order
Hayden and Elizabeth had reunited; they had become a couple and they were in a relationship. Elizabeth was very happy because Hayden felt the same way about her.They were now closer than ever and the two love birds were very inseparable.Elizabeth nor Hayden told their parents or about their relationship.Because they needed to meet Elizabeth in good circumstances and not judge Hayden for falling in love with her because she looked like his late wife. But instead because he loved the real her unconditionally with all her flaws.So they always met in secret and Azalea would watch them making out in the woods.She was very famous; she wanted to kill Elizabeth on the spot.They usually met at night so Azalea never got to see Elizabeth's face but she considered her to be the other woman in Haydn's Life.So she made a plan to reveal herself to Hayden so that they can get back together little
HAYDEN'S POVImmediately I mentioned Azalea's name Elizabeth's facial expression changed.She was horrified.But she tried to play cool like she wasn't affected."So about her?" She asked in a sad tone.I sighed deeply and then looked into her eyes."She's alive" I said in a calm voice.Her eyes widened in shock.And she immediately stood up."What?" Elizabeth said in shock."No this can't be happening how is that even fucking possible?""Take a seat Elizabeth and please let me finish…" I pleaded.She nodded quietly.But tears from her eyes.I felt her pain because our hearts were connected. And I hated seeing her like this sad and broken.She shrugged carelessly."I'm guessing that you
Azalea pulls the chain hard causing Elizabeth to start choking and gasping for air. Elizabeth was losing breath Azalea knew it and pulled the chain harder.It was going to be a slow painful death for Elizabeth."I'm going to enjoy watching you die right here Elizabeth" Azalea muttered acidly."Hayden..." Elizabeth whispers softly just as she was about to lose hope. Her eyes turned red and a bright light started to shine brightly around her and the chain got instantly broken.Elizabeth grabbed Azalea by the neck and tossed her to a building. Due to the impact the building collapsed immediatelyHer eyes returned back to normal and Elizabeth gasped in shock."Oh my gosh I just threw Azalea into a building like a bag of potatoes!"Jason and Hayden were also in a heated fight. Hayden sent Jason flying and crushed on a fruit stand he landed with a big thud only dust could
THEODORA POVThe next day I decided to go back home and I made my decision. I was going to leave this town and go live with my Aunt Sage in Paris. I didn't want to remember Austin or the fake memories we created together. I just wanted to bury them far away and forget everything about us.And when I went home I was welcomed by my mother. I was so happy to see her. I guess our efforts kinda paid off. It reminded me of Austin because he was the one who helped me."I'm glad you're here mom and I've missed you so much..."She gave me a small smile.And sat beside me on the bed."What's wrong Theodora?" She asked in a worried tone.I sighed deeply." I don't really want to talk about it."She smiled at me." It's a boy right? She asked curiously.
THEODORA POVI went to the gas station. Once I arrived there I immediately rushed to the bathroom and broke down crying.Austin was fake and I regret trusting him in the same place I wish I never fell for him. I wish I kept rejecting him no matter how many times he begged me to give him a chance. I curled my body into a ball and wiped my tears away. Crying wasn't going to solve anything but the pain didn't go away either it kept slicing through me like a knife I just wanted to disappear. I couldn't go back to school after everything that happened. Stacy took a video of me and Austin well I guess it was all planned and I stupidly fell for their tricks.Gosh I feel is freaking stupid and angry with myself. I should have known that this was too good to be true.My phone started vibrating and I took it out of my backpack when I checked the caller ID it was Austin.His name just made me feel more angry and irritated. I should
ELIZABETH POVAzalea was immediately consumed withpure fear and honestly it was a site to behold I enjoyed every second of it.I can't believe that I'm related to this cruel woman instead of making amends for the wrong she did in the past she's here stabbing me in the back.Her eyes were wide with shock. And to think I was so eager to have a sister and she turned out to be the devil herself.No I wasn't the same Elizabeth anymore and I was done being gullible like some weakling. I've had enough of Azalea's tricks and nonsense.THEODORA POVStacy and her friends had totally surrounded me blocking my way and honestly I wasn't even in the mood to cause a scene. Everyone saw us and started taking out their phones recording what was about to unfold and the last thing I wanted was getting in trouble at school
THEODORA POVI was happy that Austin agreed to help me even if my ideas were a bit crazy like kidnapping my own mother. The mere thought just made me smile.I liked Austin but I just didn't want to get my hopes up. The last thing I need is a heart break.During lunch Austin walked. He was always the center of attention besides he was a senior in the eleventh garde while I was in the ninth grade.So you now get the picture why I don't want Austin and I be a couple or thing.Our relationship is more like an imperfect fraction.Our eyes locked this time he didn't smile. He sat beside Stacy and she pecked him on the cheek.I couldn't believe what I was seeing in Austin . The Austin that was begging me for a chance was now with the prettiest snobbish girl at school, Stacy.I guess I was right about him all along Austin was nothing but a player and he'll always still be a player.I left my lunch uneaten
Everdeen shrugged and forgot about the weird feeling she had after she left her boss's office. It was going to be nothing but a friendly lunch besides it was for work purposes. She couldn't believe that she was getting her promotion on her first day of work. She had to thank her best friend who helped her get this job.When she told her best friend she was shocked her boss never behaved in such a manner and he hated it when his employees came late to work.Deep down she kinda felt jealous of Everdeen because she was winning the boss's heart.I mean who wouldn't like her.Everdeen was pretty,smart,funny,she had a body to die for.She was probably sounding crazy now.She had to get a grip and stop being a jealous best friend. Besides, Everdeen has been through a lot and she deserved to be happy.DYLAN POVI can't believe that after all these years I'm finally seeing El
Everdeen had worked very hard at college and eventually graduated with very good marks. Her mother Miranda was very proud of her and very soon she was going to the city to find a suitable job.Ever since the accident happened the villagers started to treat Everdeen differently and this made her wonder what was going on. When she asked her mother Miranda about it she simply told her that it was nothing but gossip.Even if it was gossip this never really put Everdeen at ease because all the other girls would refuse to talk to her or be friends with her.She was always alone.This made her feel like she was an outcast and it made her think that something was definitely wrong.It was clear that her mother Miranda was hiding something from her so she could feel it.HAYDEN POVThe pain still felt raw and the memories never really left my mind. I still miss her more than ever.
FLASHBACKElizabeth's body had disappeared. The divers had searched for her body everywhere but they couldn't retrieve the body. She was later declared dead because they didn't find her body but only found her pendent which was given to her by her mother Verona.VERONA POVMy life became completely dark as I lived in total darkness. I was shattered because I had lost my daughter my only source of joy. Staying in this house brought back memories that made my heart ache with so much pain.I kept looking at Elizabeth's childhood photos. A tear rolled down her cheek fell onto one of the photos.I tossed the photos away in anger.I couldn't stay in this anymore. I needed to get out of here. It felt like the room was getting smaller everyday everything was shrinking and I couldn't breathe I felt suffocated and stuffy inside.s"Verona you can't continue leaving this way El
Azalea kept gasping for breath. She was failing to breathe properly.Hayden let go of her and she slumped to the floor coughing.She glared at Hayden furiously and got up."I can't believe that you'd kill me or because of that useless girl. I should have killed her when I had the chance" Azalea said acidly.Upon hearing this Hayden lost it and slapped Azalea hard across the face.He was shaking with rage.Azalea gasped in shock."You slapped me?" Azalea muttered in disbelief.Before Hayden could respond Jason appeared out of nowhere with Theodora. He held a knife against her throat."Enough!" Jason yelled.When Hayden turned around he was shocked his daughter was pale and scared. Moreover Jason was holding a knife against her throat.Hayden was terrified.Jason laughed and smirked.Hayden backed away slowly."That
