Elena's POV

We sat there, close to each other but our hearts were far apart. We wanted the same thing, but this time it wasn't something to rejoice about.

No... I didn't want it... I didn't want Noah.

He was never mine, to begin with.

No.

What I wanted was to be able to finish my goddamn mission. To be back on top as one of the best con artists in the country.

Yes, I was greedy... I didn't give two fucks about people and what they wanted. That was how I wanted the people close to me to remember me.

That way it would hurt less since they would all hate me.

But I had a feeling Noah's case was going to be different.

Before I had planned on vanishing without a trace, but now... If I did that, Noah would investigate and find Layla out... That's if she didn't go meet him herself and tell him the truth.

Layla would never take the fall for me.

Maybe a few hours ago, I would have thought she would, but after the stunt, she pulled today... I had to be cautious.

  • Mr. Reynolds, your wife is an imposter    Chapter 57 Few hours ago

    Noah's POV FEW HOURS AGO. I stood leaning on my car as I waited for Layla to come out. There was no driver, just me and the car as we both waited there. Layla wanted me to drive; she said something about it being romantic. I couldn't object, why would I? I also wanted to be alone with her. Although I didn't want to, I glanced at the watch in my left hand. 10 minutes to 9I didn't take long to dress up, but I understood her. She was a lady. Ladies always loved looking beautiful. Not as if there was ever a time that she wasn't. Layla was the strangest woman I had ever met. She was beautiful, kind... A bit crazy, and the best of all... She wasn't like those other girls. She didn't fawn over me, smiling like that was the only thing they could do in life... She was never going to spread herself on the floor like a rug just because I commanded it. That was just one of the many reasons I loved her, and finally... After all this time, I was getting married to hee. She was official

  • Mr. Reynolds, your wife is an imposter    Chapter 56 Good bye Noah

    Elena's POV "Here are your certificates." The clerk said after a while, handing Noah a red...book? We took it from his hand gently, as if it were some kind of treasure. It was. "You both are now legally married." The clerk said to us with a professional smile on his face. It was done. I returned his smile. "Thank you." "Thank you." Noah copied me. He held me in his hands as we walked out of the registry. He had so much joy... His face was bright and filled with smiles. My phone vibrated in the pocket of my gown; yes, I ensured the gown had a pocket... And I stopped walking. Noah turned to face me, puzzled at my sudden act. "What's wrong?" "I need to use the restroom," I answered with a pout. Noah thought for a second before nodding his head. "Alright, let's go then." I blinked. "Let's go where?" I refuted, surprised at his actions. "It's the lady's bathroom. You won't be allowed in there.""I don't want to go in. I'll just wait for you outside." Noah insisted surprising

  • Mr. Reynolds, your wife is an imposter    Chapter 55 I Do

    Elena's POV How could she? How could she say that to me? Remind me of who I was. Who I was trying desperately to get away from... How could she?A tear fell from my eyes, then another, and another; before I knew it, I had fully begun to cry. It felt strange to have your best friend remind you of your worst fears...the person you were before. "Oh my..." The door to my room was suddenly barged open and I heard the familiar voices of Lithia and Paula. Bringing my hand to my face, I wiped off the tears instantly... But it was too late. They had already seen it. "Mrs Reynolds w...what happened?" Paula asked with concern coming to stand beside me. "Don't call me that," I muttered. That name wasn't mine. Layla made that clear enough. "Okay, I understand. You're not yet married to Mr. Reynolds and don't wish to be called Mrs Reynolds now, it's alright." Paula reasoned. It was better than the truth so..."Yeah." I nodded agreeing to her made-up reason. "Are you alright?" Lithia ask

  • Mr. Reynolds, your wife is an imposter    Chapter 54 Officially Mrs Reynolds

    Layla's POV I didn't want to say those things to her. But I couldn't help it. I just wanted Elena to remember her place and why the hell she was there... With Noah. The man that I should be getting married to today. Technically I was still the one getting married to him. It was my name, surname, ID... The only difference was that I wasn't the one writing it. I tossed my phone onto the bed and exhaled sharply.What the hell was that?'You're not the type of woman a person like Noah Reynolds would want to be with anyway.'I didn’t mean it. I swear I didn’t. But the words came out like venom...and maybe, just maybe, a part of me meant every single one of them.Aish! All this frustration of not knowing how today would go was eating at me. Elena was already doing her part; I had mine under control, too... I think. I stared at the wall in front of me, one of Alfonso’s temporary safe houses in the suburbs. Cheap white paint, wooden floors that creaked if you breathed too hard, and a T

  • Mr. Reynolds, your wife is an imposter    Chapter 53 Good job? Good job?!

    Elena's POV The day had finally arrived. Some of us, like me, dreaded it. Others were happy I would be gone in less than a few hours...while the rest, in a few hours they would never know I even existed. I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing the fabric of my pale white dress for the tenth time, willing my reflection to look composed, calm... beautiful even, But no amount of effort could hide the storm twisting beneath my skin.It was the same dress I saw a few days ago at the boutique, only that... It's been Norafied...ha! That was what she said. Nora came over yesterday evening to deliver the gown and sincerely... I was shocked. It was different from before, way different. The sleeves were gone, replaced with thin straps with embroidery design. The neckline went a bit lower to show more cleavage and the length... Cut down to the knee just as I asked.Sincerely I was shocked. I didn't really expect a good job from her since she wasn't really my fan, but damn did the lady t

  • Mr. Reynolds, your wife is an imposter    Chapter 52 I'm not a victim

    Elena's POV I sighed loudly so the girls would notice, and they did. All of them turned to look at me. "What if she does? It's not like it isn't true." Keisha released her grip on Kaila and stood up... giving me her full attention. "Look who the cat dragged in. The entitled fucking heiress who just appeared out of nowhere took her parent's name and Noah's hand." "Technically he asked for my hand, but yes... It is I." I retorted with a small smile on my face. "Are you ready to face us like a real lady... Or are you still going to hide behind your fiance." Keisha gloated with a smirk. Damn her pretty face. "If by us, you meant only you... Then bring it on. Honny I would beat you like your mother should have, but... If that..." I pointed at Sasha who was now also glaring at me. "If that is joining the fight. I'll stick with hiding behind my fiance." "You're a fucking coward." Keisha snorted giggling a bit. "A fucked up, overly entitled..." I stepped forward slowly... one more wor
