The whole ballroom fell into silence, and Nicholas's gesture raised an eyebrow to everyone in the room, and they were all curious as to what Hadley was going to do. “What are you doing, Mr. Sanders?” Hadley asked through gritted teeth warning the man to behave herself, and she wondered why Maurice was silent on the matter.He wasn't that quiet, so she understood what was going on. Maybe she should be worried after all.“I am asking you to dance, Mrs. Elliot? Did you find it so wrong?” he asked, and she hissed hearing his words.She was sure that he was trying to get Maurice to lose his temper in front of those people, and when Hadley started wanting to lash out at the man, Maurice interrupted her.“You are really funny, Mr. Sanders I almost mistaken you for a comedian instead of a businessman. How could you ask my wife to accompany you?” Maurice asked, and his chilly voice resonated through the room, and the bustling atmosphere dampened.Maurice has that effect, his voice alone was e
The starry night was illuminated by the moon, but Hadley felt gloomy as she looked at it. She was devastated and didn't know what to do.After she left the party while chasing after Maurice, she had this unsettling feeling that something was going wrong, and she didn't even know what that could be.“Are you not coming in, ma'am?" Hadley heard one of the maids ask, and she beamed her a smile telling her that she was fine.“No, I am going to wait for my husband," Hadley replied, asking the maid not to worry about her. Yes, Maurice wasn't home even though they left the party together. He was kind of her to ask her to enter the car but immediately he dropped her off the zoomed off without saying a thing.How was she supposed to explain to him when he wasn't even giving her a chance to do that?“It is all that prick's fault, how could he have hugged me? That demon from hell should be castrated!" Hadley cursed but she stopped herself seeing that she was yelling at that quiet night.“I just
"Raise your head high!!" the instructor yelled, frustratedly looking at Hadley, who was doing the opposite of what she had taught her. The country's pumpkin was giving her a headache. "Ok," Hadley smiled apologetically but heaven knows that was the opposite of what was going on in her head. She so much wanted to rip someone's head right now. Why does she need to walk like an ostrich just for a dinner party? The way of the rich is different. "We are going to do it again and this time, you have to get it right," the woman said and Hadley nodded knowing she was still going to the opposite. "Stop!!!" The woman yelled with all her veins bulging out which looked funny to Hadley and she avoided her eyes not wanting to be caught smiling. "You need to catch up on the training. How do you intend to fool Elliot? All you do is walk like a toad," the woman exaggerated and that got her thinking. Does a toad walk?? "A toad doesn't walk Miss Freya," Hadley replied the woman in her early 50s a
Hadley turned around to look at the person that recognized her and she was shocked to see that it was her best friend, Maria. They grew up in the countryside and Hadley knew she was going to believe it was her because she didn't know she had a twin just like how she didn't know a thing. Hadley knew even if she wanted to lie her friend was going to know it was her so there was no point. "Oh my God it's you, Hadley," Hadley's friend Maria exclaimed, jumping on the stiff Hadley and she embraced her in a tight hug. "What are you doing here?"Maria asked excitedly, still hugging her friend. The people around quietened down and they all watched as a woman in waitress clothes enveloped Gilbert's only daughter in her embrace. "Is that not Gilbert's daughter, why is the girl calling her Hadley," a voice came among the people and another voice joined. "From the hug, the girl looked kinda close to the girl and she was sure it was the person she knew,". People started whispering and Hadley p
I looked at the woman that claimed to be my fiance's cousin or should I say my sister's fiance and wondered if she had lost some screw in her head. Because whatever she was saying doesn't sound plausible. "Did you go around lying to people because you want to be relevant?" Hadley asked her and she saw her shocked. Yeah, she should be because she hasn't even started. She knew people like that don't go around trying to benefit anyone but themselves so, she knew she had an ulterior motive. "I don't know why you will go around trying to tarnish your brother's image but don't do that, it's really bad," Hadley says, the girl looked at her confused but when she saw her hand, she smiled. "Why did you think you were wearing a glove, to begin with?" she asked and Hadley looked at her with questions. "That's because my cousin can not stand your touch and being with you might even make him sick". After what the girl says Hadley got lost in thoughts, if her twin sister is going to marry that
"So, you mean I have to stay here till your precious daughter comes back," Hadley asked looking at the face that was supposed to be familiar but seemed strange She was supposed to leave for her home already but they are still keeping her. She looked between her father and her grandmother who was asking her with a stern face to stay some more days and acting like Ella so Elliot wouldn't notice that she went missing. "Yes until then we hope you find this place conducive and you stay out of trouble," her father says but she had enough. "No," Hadley says, standing up abruptly and walking out on them but her grandmother's voice called her back. "I heard your mother is sick and you are working your bones off to pay for her medical bill so how is this?" the grandmother says walking up to her. "I will pay for your mother's medical bills and you will pretend to be your twin sister for some days". Hadley looked at her supposed grandmother and she sneered. How could these people be so vile?
Hadley looked at the person that just entered the dressing room and her mood dampened. This person doesn't look identical to her, or was she wearing a mask? Hadley thought, looking at the petite woman in front of her. "Congratulations on your wedding Ella," the girl cladded in a white flowing gown, and a mocking smug was plastered on her lips. Is she the bride or what? Hadley thought but she was not in for her talk. She was sure this woman in front of her was no good, so she didn't even bother to waste a breath. "I am sorry that all the tips I gave you on how to win Maurice's heart doesn't work," the woman says with a fake worry and Hadley wondered what she was saying. She gave Ella tips on how to win Maurice's heart. This woman? Hadley shakes her head because it was obvious whatever this woman said to her sister was not going to help instead it was going to be the opposite. Her sister has been duped. "Yes you are right your tips aren't helpful," Hadley says standing up and yo
"God this is magnificent," Hadley exclaimed looking around the penthouse and Maurice creased his eyebrow in surprise.Why does she look so excited over a penthouse? I do not think I ever remember Gilbert being short on money so what is going on with their princess acting like a puppet, Maurice pondered."God look at this amazing city view," Hadley jumped in excitement skipping to the glass window that showed the full view of the city below and she couldn't help but yelp in excitement.A/N: Ok, the countryside's much, she is so obvio.The night was complemented with the bright illuminated moon and the city street light accompanying the magnificent view and Hadley couldn't help but exclaim in excitement because of the amazing view."OMG these rich people really know how to spend money," Hadley exclaimed happily not knowing she said it out loud but a voice behind her froze her immediately."Rich people? I do not remember Gilbert being poor," Maurice says looking at the girl that had deci
