Chapter 5
Carla Simpson
POV
This day was a mess, I went from not knowing this guy straight into dating Kyler, then thrown into being his fiancée. I could not believe it I was getting married next month. The icing on the cake was someone finding a girl that looked exactly like me. how could I forget the worst of them all, oh I know I seem to have forgotten about the most embarrassing of them all Kyler’s mom caught us in he is office.
His mother who was supposed to be at home resting since she was sick, yet there she was in his office. She knew what we had down because our clothes were thrown all over his office. Could this day be any more dramatic and any more movie like? It reminds me of those Indian series on Zee world, where everything that can go wrong goes wrong. I pray my life does not get anymore dramatic than it already is.
After I am done getting dressed, I make my way for Aaron’s office door so I could go to work since I have not been to the office yet for the day. I stop dead in my tracks when Kyler’s phone goes off. Worried it might be the people he had asked to find out about the girl who looks like me, I stay put waiting for him to end the call.
"What did you get?” he asks
...
“What? Are you sure?” he asks in a surprise tone
....
“Find out why and how that is possible. I want word within the hour” he demands
....
“So, her names Nikita Jones”
...
“Thank you..." he says before he hangs up the phone.
I stand there looking like an idiot. Kyler pockets his phone and walks towards me. He places my hands in his.
"Carla she's your sister, I don't know how but you were separated at birth. It seems like the doctors at the hospital only gave your mom one child. Carla I am sorry" he says apologetically
He hugs me and I completely break down I finally have a piece of my mom and dad I have a sister. I finally have something that ties me to my family. Words cannot describe how much joy fills my heart right now. Someone who shares my DNA.
"Thank you, thank you Kyler this means a lot to me. Where is she now? How much do they want? Kyler, please help me we have to do something" I say through sobs
He hugs me tighter as if he were scared to let go of me. I wrap my arms around him. we had to save her. we had to do everything in our power to get her back, I cannot lose her before I have even had the chance to meet her. A chance to get to know her
"Okay Carla don't worry my people have her she's at my hotel, I can take you there right now..." He says soothingly
"Thank you, Kyler thank, you so much this means the world to me thank you for this. I finally feel like my life is coming together, I finally have a family, a guy I like, and a sister" I could not stop thanking him for being there for me, for helping me get my sister, my sister back. I could not believe I had a sister.
Oh My God... I have a sister a living breathing sister and it is all thanks to Kyler, if it were not for him, if he did not go with me to the mall, I would never have known I have a sister.
"Don't worry baby I'm here" he says kissing the top of my head.
And he hugs me tighter. Somehow hugging him makes me feel safe and better.
As soon as I regain my composure, we head to the hotel. His driver drove us. The ride over was the most stressful thing I have ever come across in my life. it was the longest ride of my life. Once we reach the hotel, he holds my hand tightly, I think he could feel my body trembling. When we walked into the hotel room, and I saw her I had this weird feeling, it felt like I found a piece of me I have been missing for 20 years.
For the first time in twenty years, I feel complete. I feel as if I had known her my whole life. It was awkward we did not say anything to each other just stared for a couple of minutes.
Then Kyler finally spoke. "Hey, I'm Kyler your future brother-in-law, and this is your sister Carla, my fiancé"
He stretched out and waves at her and greeted her
"Hi I'm Nikita. Nice to meet you" she says softly
She waves back at Kyler and me, I just stood there like a statue not able to move any part of my body, today was just too much for me I felt lightheaded, my body felt heavy and then everything went blank, I could not see anything.
==========
Kyler Jacobs
POV.
I found out today that Carla had a twin sister, it seems like her mom gave birth to twins and did not know about it. or that is the information I had gotten from my PI.
The hospital staff sold Nikita to the Jones family. I told my personal guards to keep Nikita safe until we got there. We had to make sure she was protected, being from a high-profile family came with death threats. On our way to the hotel, I could feel that Carla’s nervousness.
It was basically radiating off of her. So, I did the only I knew how to do, I held her hand. When we got to the room, the two have not even said I word to each other, I could not take it anymore, so I introduced myself. I soon felt something was wrong and suddenly Carla collapsed in my arms.
I hold her in my arms.
“Carla? Carla?” I lightly tap on her face, but she was unresponsive.
I feel for a pulse it was barely there. Dammit.
I lift her into my arms bridal style. I rush downstairs and drive her straight to the hospital.
When we get to the hospital, we are led into a private ward the doctors check her and connect her to monitors and give her an injection through her IV.
My mind is running wild. I cannot believe my mind is running crazy over a girl I just met. Right now, I just want her to be safe, and in my arms. I have never felt this way about anyone before, I have never felt this connected to anyone in my life before.
I just want to protect her from every and keep her safe in my arms all the time and not let anyone touch her.
The Doctor came out.
"Dr Stanton how’s my Fiancée? Is she okay? What happened to her?"
"Mr. Jacobs she was poisoned; we need to pump her stomach and she needs surgery to drain the poison out of her blood or she might die. You arrived just in time. I will need her family to sign for the surgery" he explains her condition
"Poisoned? That is not possible she has been with me all day.” I say thinking if she had anything to eat today. “Her family? She has an aunt. I will call her aunt" I say taking my phone remembering I do not have her phone number.
My mind just went blank. Who the hell has the nerve to hurt my angel? They are courting death! I get her aunts number from Carla's phone
"Hello?" she answers after three rings.
"Hello, I'm Kyler, Carla is in the hospital can you please come to the hospital the doctor needs your signature to sign for surgery please she could die" I explain
"Oh, my word. Carla I-I'm on my way." She stutters
"I'll arrange a car to bring you with a police escort, it will be faster if you send me your address, please" I explain to her. she needs to get her right now. No time to waste in traffic. LA traffic was terrible this time of day.
"Thank you, Kyler,” she thanks me.
I contact the police chief asking him a favor. I helped him out a couple of months ago, so he told me I should call if I ever needed anything and now, I am calling in that favor. With that I arranged her someone to pick her up and the police Chief arranged a police escort for Carla’s aunt within fifteen minutes Carla’s aunt arrived at the hospital. Carla's life is in her hands now.
When she arrived, she immediately signs the documents and asks me what happened, I reply honestly tell her that she has been with me all day except when she went to the reception desk at my building.
After that I tell my assistant to track Carla's movements today and yesterday. Right now, all I can think about is Carla a half an hour passes, and Nikita walks in and asks how’s Carla, I tell her still in surgery.
Carla's aunt asks whose Nikita, honestly right now I have no idea how to tell her I am only worried about Carla. Nikita explains to her what she knows about what happened all she knows is she was adopted and when she looked for her birth parents they died.
How could they not realize they had the same name? Did Carla’s mother name Nikita after her sister? Or is it a wild coincidence?
Carla's aunt went crazy started crying and hugging Nikita. After 5 hours Carla is finally out of surgery. I finally breathe a sigh of relieve when I see she is okay. I am glad she is okay. She is going to be okay.
Chapter 6Carla SimpsonPOVWhen I woke up, I could smell, disinfectant and hear beeping sound when I opened my eyes Kyler was next to me holding my hand, he had fallen asleep. in a chair with his head on my hand. I am scared of waking him, so I try my best to lay still, he looked exhausted, he looked like he needed his sleep. A few minutes later my aunt walks in with Nikita and the door opening, which wakes Kyler, when he opens, his eyes dart to the door and then his eyes land on me. He literally jumps for joy and starts kissing me forehead and starts hugging me. It is amazing how safe I feel with him how amazing I feel knowing he is there with me. I look around confused. Why was I in the hospital? The last thing I remember is going to the hotel? Why was I in the hospital and why did my stomach hurt as though I have been punched the gut."What happened, why am I in the hospital?" I ask KylerEveryone is looking at me weird. Just then Kyler gets a phone call and excuses himself he is
Chapter 7Nikita JonesPOVHi, I'm Nikita Jones 20 years old, I was adopted as a baby and grew up with my amazing parents Joy and Seth Jones when I was five, they had my sister Ella Jones. When I turned 18, I searched for my birth parents I found out they died in a plane crash, and it’s said that the entire family died so I gave up.Today on my way to the mall. Someone hit me from behind. When I woke up, I was in a hotel room, and a guy called Jack Black told me I was kidnapped because they mistook me for someone else. The person is my birth sister, and they were meaning to hurt my sister by extorting money from his boss. He also informed me that his boss ordered him to save me and to bring me to the hotel. My twin sister and his boss were on their way."What’s her name? My sister" I ask him"Carla Simpson that's her name. They on their way they should be here soon"I’ve always assumed she was in the plane with him when it went down. That’s interesting that she wasn’t there she was on
Chapter 8Kyler JacobsPOVSo today was the first day of Nikita Jones being Carla and a CEO of a million-dollar company and the crazy woman is already creating chaos, it is like she is daring people to put a hit out on her. She is already starting fires I cannot put out.This little girl is even more daring than Carla is and that is saying a lot. She reminds me so much of my older brother Kenny his got that same live on the edge attitude as she does. They share the same fire. The problem with that in our world meant you would probably get killed for stepping on someone powerful toes. People kill for so much less. The reason Kenny never wanted to work in an office he did not like the politics of it and the other reason is running from my mom, he would much rather than be shot at then face our mother. Lana Jacobs is a lot to deal with and the fact that her husband enables her fuels her so much more.Back to Nikita Jones. I feared what she will do next. I do not even know what she will d
Chapter 9Kyler JacobsPOVI ran so fast out of the room I thought I might break my ankle.When I got into my study, I took a deep breath going over my options I could only think of one so I wasted no time and called the only person who could reign in Lana Jacobs.I quickly phoned my grandfather"Hello Son" My grandfather answered in the third ring."Hello pa, how are you feeling?” I ask him“I am good Kyler. How is work?” he asks me “Work is great I actually called because I have a favor to ask you" I was going straight to the point."Anything for my favorite grandson?" he asks knowing he said that to all three of us. But we let him think we never knew. He loved making each one of us thinking we were special, so we let him."Pa, I need you to help me your daughter its driving me crazy, she moved into my house and invited the whole family to live here" I explained"Ky she's your mother and I know Lana can be a bit dramatic, she gets that from your grandmother, but you know it comes f

You just talk about that good for nothing husband of yours" I mock an annoyed lookShe completely ignores my comment. "Big brother I need your help. Why did he come and see you?” she looks up at me."He came to ask for the family jet" I tell herShe looks at me puzzled. "But you don't own the family jet?""I told him to speak to you" I shrug my shoulders. I really did not want to get involved yet here I am. When she came home was it a year or two ago saying she wanted to marry this idiot I told her it was a bad idea, but she would not listen to me and went ahead with the wedding. In the two years they have been married not once have I seen my sister happy or smile."Okay. Thank you, Kyler. I will take my leave now." She makes a move to get up when I stop her"Kenzie actually there's something I need to talk to you about""Uhm okay what's up?" she sits again looking at me

Chapter 12 -Carla SimpsonPOVI have no idea what is happening right now, but it is really overwhelming I love that Kyler's mom loves me so much, as if I were her own daughter, it really warms my heart. I have not felt a mother’s love in nine years, just thinking about it made tears run down my face, I did not just lose my parents and brother that day, I lost my childhood, a piece of my heart and also a piece of my soul. Somehow, I do not feel so empty anymore, I have Nikita, Kyler, my aunt, uncle, my cousin and Kyler's family, the past couple of days were amazing. I love how everyone I have met so far has welcomed me into the family with open arms. Kyler’s mom has made sure I was well taken care of, she made sure I felt loved, and I was well fed.

Chapter 13Kennedy JacobsPOV On my way home I have had a lot of time to think, and I have come up with a brilliant idea so hear me out, I want to ask Nikita if she could help me go home to my mom so she can get off my back about finding a girlfriend. If Nikita pretends to be my girlfriend my mother will back off and I will have more time to spend with Nikita. Maybe I can convince her to give me a chance and then later maybe date me. I was really attracted to this girl.Even though it is just for my mom, I still feel anxious to ask her out, what if she says no? That would break my heart. I have been in the Military for 11 years, and I have never been more afraid in my life. I run toward bullets. I have been shot at more times than I can count yet the thought of her rejecting me makes me want to puke. I start to think about how amazing this week has been after meeting Nikita just thinking about her puts a smile on my face and how amazing it has been Frenching her until we could not br
