Chapter 9

Author: Washing Wheat
Nathan froze as I questioned him, "Do you know why, no matter what kind of fuss you made the last few years, I simply appeased you and couldn't even bring myself to punish you? That was solely because you looked so much like Alex.

"If not for that accident seven years ago, Alex and I would've gotten engaged. You're the knockoff who stole his life for the last five years, so what makes you think you have any right to question him? You don't get to stick your nose into my relationship with Alex,

    Face flushed, I reached out to smack Alex in the head, only for him to grab my hand. A few seconds later, the ring from seven years ago was back on my finger."The design seems a bit outdated now. Want to pick a new one?" he asked.I knew exactly what he was truly conveying. It'd been seven long years. We both knew just how precious our reunion was. I booked us a flight home at once."Sure. This time, I want the most expensive ring there is—with the biggest diamond money can buy."…As soon as we got off the plane, Alex eagerly dragged me off to a boutique to pick out my engagement ring. After a laborious process, we finally settled on a design.We'd arrived back at the apartment when we saw a figure curled up by the flowerbed outside the building—Nathan.He looked like a sorry mess. His suit was stained and grimy, his disheveled hair was covered in grease, and he was clutching a filthy paper bag.When he saw us get out of the car, he staggered to his feet. "Essie, you're final

    The questions festered in Nathan's mind. What gave Alex and me the right to do this? To play him for a fool for five years, then toss him aside like trash? What right did Alex have to steal everything away the moment he showed up?Why did he have to be the substitute, the one who ended up cast into the mud?He couldn't live with that. He had been reborn. He knew what the future had in store. He was meant to be the king of this world!The Burkcoin investment failure was merely an accident. In Nathan's eyes, it was all because of me. The failure to use public opinion against me was also entirely because Lori had been a lousy teammate.His current dire straits? His father's gambling addiction was to blame for that!Either way, he still had a shot at turning things around—he had the memories from his previous life.Nathan closed his eyes, digging desperately through the recesses of his memory until he finally recalled something. He shot upright, his eyes glinting in the morning light

    I looked over at Alex, who was sitting on the couch, and couldn't help but laugh at myself. I was so pathetic. He hadn't even fully explained himself yet, but I'd already forgiven him.As I sighed quietly to myself, however, he said, "I'm the one… who asked my parents to let your parents tell you I was dead."He closed his eyes and swallowed hard. "I didn't die, but my condition… was basically worse than dead. By the time they dug me out, I'd already stopped breathing for 15 minutes. They rushed me to St. Marcia Hospital in a helicopter."I spent three months in the ICU. I was suffering from traumatic brain injury, spinal fractures, and internal bleeding. The doctors told my parents to prepare for the worst six times. When I woke up, I realized I couldn't move at all. I was completely paralyzed and could only blink my eyes."My breathing stalled."They said the fact that I was even alive was a miracle. There was less than 1% chance of me ever standing up again," Alex continued. "A

    Nathan froze as I questioned him, "Do you know why, no matter what kind of fuss you made the last few years, I simply appeased you and couldn't even bring myself to punish you? That was solely because you looked so much like Alex."If not for that accident seven years ago, Alex and I would've gotten engaged. You're the knockoff who stole his life for the last five years, so what makes you think you have any right to question him? You don't get to stick your nose into my relationship with Alex, Nathan!"I glanced at Lori, who was still crying and begging for money. Only then did I realize that both mother and son were practically cut from the same cloth.Feeling completely indifferent, I had my people dump her back at the hospital. As she'd gone without treatment for a month, the doctor had already informed me that her days were numbered. For however long she remained alive, the only thing they could do was administer her some painkillers for the pain.When Nathan was dragged away,

    "Mr. Schumer, you're the one who secretly cohabited with another woman and got her pregnant while your arrangement with Essie was still ongoing. You breached the agreement first," Alex reminded Nathan."You're also the one who diverted the funds meant for your mother's treatments for investment instead. But when your investment failed, you tried to guilt-trip Essie and use public opinion against her by slandering her—just so you could continue extorting money from her."Alex's gaze swept over Nathan's ashen face, his voice clear and icy as he continued, "And now, you're calling me a knockoff version of you?"He paused briefly before letting his words fall like an avalanche on top of Nathan."Need I remind you who has been imitating whose mannerisms and habits? Who has relied on a similar face to spend the last five years living in luxury yet still grown resentful for not receiving more? Do you seriously not know who the pathetic knockoff is?"Nathan's face was as red as a tomato,

    Lori proceeded to glower viciously at Sherry as she continued, "And this bitch! She's the one who keeps egging him on! Who knows if Nate is really the father of that bastard child in her belly?"Ms. Langdon, please! Have mercy on this old lady. Just give me a little bit more money…"Nathan looked as if he'd been struck by lightning. His face flushed red with humiliation and rage. He tried to storm over to stop Lori from saying anything more, but security stopped him.He whipped his head toward me, roaring in disbelief, "Estelle! It's you, isn't it? You brought her here! You knew everything. You set me up! You played me!"Snorting, I retorted, "I wouldn't call it a setup, nor would I say I played you. All I did was cover some of your mom's medical bills in exchange for her telling the truth."My words struck a raw nerve, and Nathan's expression contorted. Wagging a finger at me, he hollered, "What truth? Would I have stopped my mom's treatments if you'd continued giving me money, E
