"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?"So, you are trying to pay me to stay by using my mother's illness, the one that raised me, and give you this grace to even speak with me," Hadley said, through gritted teeth looking at the woman in front of her. "If you can bargain with me to stay then I don't see a reason you can not ask your precious daughter to come home," Hadley says, referring to her twin sister.If her twin sister was so precious that they could not reason her to come home then Hadley doesn't see a reason to stay and do their bid."Hello, Steven discharged that woman from the hospital we are no more paying," Hadley heard her father speak to the phone and fear surged in her heart."Is that my mother?" she asked and he nodded his head. "What the fuck did you do to my mother to get admitted to the hospital," Hadley roared and they looked at her in shock.She was different from her sister, that was their thought."Nothing, she had a seizure and my man that was close to her at that time helped her to the hospital," Roberto explained to her daughter but she wasn't having it."I want to go home now," Hadley says frankly. She wasn't staying calm, that was her mother they were talking about and she was nowhere near her when she was having a hard time."You are going to see her but not now," Hadley's grandmother states, and Hadley wondered if the woman was heartless."We are going to sort out her bills but we will need you to keep calm till Ella comes back," she says and that got Hadley thinking.Going home to her mother won't guarantee her mother's health but with Gilbert's help, she can sort out her bill and also go back home in just a few days."Ok fine," Hadley agreed.It's just going to be for a few days so, she thought and she walked out."She is different from Ella, mother," Roberto says looking at the retreating figure of Hadley."I know but she has a weakness and that weakness is what we are going to use," grandmother Gilbert says as she sips her tea gently.*************************************A week flew and it was the day of Ella and Maurice's wedding.The church was already packed with dignitaries as they went about socializing."Ok you don't have to look like it's a funeral man," Caleb the best man teased Maurice and he sneered.Maurice glared at his friend, heaven knows he doesn't want to have this wedding but it was still holding even if he doesn't like it.His mother doesn't care about his opinion or even his disorder of having contact with women. All she wanted was to have grandchildren, which was not going to happen."But I heard Ella Gilbert is a good lady. I am sure your marriage would be great," Caleb says, patting his friend on the back before he went to welcome some guests."A good lady," Maurice scoffed. "I don't have a good memory of her being good," Maurice says remembering their last encounter and he snorted.Inside the hotel dressing room, Hadley was being dressed but she gritted her teeth in anger seeing what was happening to her.She was fucking getting married!!!!She was supposed to be a fill-in for a few days before getting married. Why the fuck did they change the script, Hadley screamed inwardly.After Hadley was dressed the team left her room leaving her alone but Karen entered."You don't have to worry whenever Ella gets here you are switching places," Karen says looking at Hadley that was brewing in anger."Where did fuck did that girl go!!" Hadley screamed.Heaven knows if her twin sister appears now Hadley was going to spank her till she loses her senses."She is going to be here but until then please save us," Karen pleaded going out again and Hadley sighed.If anyone told her that she was going to be a substitute for anyone she was going to argue but here she was getting married in the place of her sister.Hadley admired herself in the mirror but she sighed sadly. "It would have been nice if it was my wedding," she mutters sadly but she heard the door to the dressing room open suddenly and her heart skipped.Is that her sister?? Hadley turned immediately and she came in contact with the person's face.This??? Hadley gawked at the person's face in surprise….Maurice was transported to a room in the hospital after he fainted in the hospital's hallway, and the doctors attended to him. They couldn't find the reason for his rash, but they ran a test on his brain, which he was examined to be suffering from shock.“What are you saying, doctor?” Mr. Elliot, Maurice's father, asked the doctor because whatever he was hearing sounded strange to him. “It's just as you heard chairman, your son might be suffering from a great shock which leads to his allergy coming back.” The doctor said, referring to Maurice's allergy to woman's touch.“But that's not possible, I mean he doesn't have the rash, no matter who he touches now and..” she was saying, but the doctor interrupted her.“I understood your stance ma'am, but that doesn't change the fact that his allergy has returned, and it might be best if you consulted a psychiatrist.” The doctor said, and Mrs. Elliot burst into tears.She didn't know her son was that vulnerable, and his wife's death would be a
Inside the Gilbert’s mansion, Robert was seen sitting alone in the living room. After Robert Gilbert, Hadley, and Ella's father, ordered for the explosion of the building, he went home like he did nothing wrong to create a perfect alibi for himself. “Hello, I hope you did a clean job.” He breathed into his phone as he watched the news broadcasting about the explosion of the building. “Yes boss.” The person at the other end of the phone assured him.“That's good, make sure you go into hiding because the police might get up to something we wouldn't want, right?” He said, hanging up on the phone.He would make sure that he cleaned off any evidence that might make the people suspicious of him. He needed to save his empire, and if sacrificing his two daughters was the price, he surely wouldn't hold it down.“Now that I have this with me, I don't think anything would ever stand in my way in the business world.” Robert beamed, and he picked up the file to go to his room, but his wife rushed
The news about Ella's death reached the Elliott's family, and they all rushed down to the police station to confirm it because it was unbelievable to them. “Where is my son?” Mrs. Elliot asked, and the police officers took her to Maurice, who was sulking at the check room where Hadley's body was placed. “Maurice.” Mrs. Elliot called slowly as she walked to Maurice, but the man didn't bother to look at her. “They are telling a lie, Mom. They are all saying that the woman on that table is my wife, how can that be?” Maurice blurted, and his mother's feast aches watching her son suffer so much. Her eyes trailed to the body on the table, which was covered with clothes, and she knew that officers couldn't be wrong with the identity. “Maurice, please, I'm sure that they couldn't be wrong with the identity of the body..” Mrs. Elliot was saying, but Maurice cut her off. “What did you mean by body? How is that a body? What if she is my wife, she has a name and..” Maurice trailed off seeing t
An Hour Before The ExplosionHadley, Ella, and their mother were locked in a dark room by their father, with no way out. Hadley looked at her sister, who was in pain, and barely hanging on, and she hated herself for not telling Maurice about her father's plot.He would have prevented this from happening, but she was too stupid to grooved that her father was not the monster he was.“Are you okay, Ella? Are they in pain?” Hadley asked an obvious question, but Ella just chuckled. “I don't think that we should worry about me because I feared that any of us would be able to escape from here.” Ella said.“No, we would be able to escape, believe me, okay?” Hadley assured, but she knew she was the one that needed that assurance.“But how? Did you think we can..” Ella was saying, but she broke into tears. “Why are you crying, Ella? Can you not handle the pain?” Her mother asked, and Hadley got worried.“I'm sorry, I got you all into all this mess.” she said, but Hadley shook her head. “That's
The afternoon sun slithered into the room, and Maurice groaned as he turned around on the bed. He has a horrible night, and coupled with his drunk self he has to wake up with a hangover.“Damn!” Maurice cursed as he felt his head banging with a headache, he pried his eyes open gently, and looked around the room he was in.He wasn't surprised that he wasn't in his room because he feared he might do something Hadley would hate him for if he stayed there.“This is crazy!” He cursed as he got down from the bed, but he almost lost his balance because his eyes were a bit blurry. He couldn't believe that he drank himself to stupor. “It's all her fault.” Maurice murmured.A part of him believed that Hadley didn't betray him, but he was too jealous and he acted rashly. He walked to the kitchen to fix himself a hangover soup, but he hoped that he wouldn't bump into Hadley because he feared he might not be able to control himself.He might have fallen to his knees and begged her not to divorce h
Hadley's heartbeat increased as she feared who was coming into the room, but she released her breath when she saw the person, who just came in.“Are you okay, ma'am?” The maid, who just entered the room asked, and Hadley let out the breath she was holding.“Yes, I am.” She replied hurriedly, and hid the file she was holding. The maid was suspicious about Hadley's movement, but she couldn't pressure her if she wasn't ready to talk.She wouldn't want to lose her job. “Ok ma'am, then I will leave you to it.” The maid said, as age walked off and Hadley let out the breath she was holding. “Oh my goodness! That was such a narrow escape.” She mumbled.She looked at the file in her hand, and she knew she had to get out of the house before Maurice woke up. She wouldn't want to get caught by the man.“I have to get this to the heartless man before he does something to my sister.” She muttered, and walked out of that room. She got to the backdoor of the house, and sneaked out without anyone seei
