LISAThe glass slips from my hand and wine spills on the table then down on my dress.I push back the chair and hold the material away from my skin."Oh my God," Hillary stands and gets a wipe, helping me out."Oh crap! Are you okay?" Sandra stands too but Maria remains seated in place."I'm okay, it's fine Hillary, I can do it." I grab another wipe start cleaning my dress."Is everything alright?" Flynn, the man Hillary likes asks.Lore comes to my side."Just spilt wine by mistake," I say."Well,we should call it a night anyway," Maria stands.My eyes meet hers and in that exact moment, I know that she knows who I'm cheating on Lore with.I'm ushered into the car and my eyes burn with tears.He's been playing me all this time, he's been lying to me and sleeping with that woman.* *The Bidding* *When I see the ambassador and his wife walk into the room, my hand squeezes my purse so tightly. Tonight is the bidding of the items that were donated at the fundraising event for the orpha
THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise Chapter Twenty
LISAWhen the event comes to an end we say bye to our friends and my parents.I'm ushered into the car and my eyes burn with tears.He's been playing me all this time, he's been lying to me and sleeping with that woman.Lore gets in and starts to drive back home. When we get to the house, he excuses himself and goes to talk on the phone.I stand and head to the wine board,then I take out a bottle and open it,i drink the first glass in one go and then pour myself another one.Lore walks in and pauses when he spots me drinking on the sofa. After a few silent beats, he settles down next to me."Hey," she says softly and places two fingers under my chin, turning my head to him.I look at him through blurry eyes."What's wrong?"My lips tremble and I don't know what to say."You can tell me," he lets go of me.I sniffle then take another sip."Hey, slow downh" he takes the glass from my hand then places it down."How about I tell you a story, a story about two girls." He keeps staring at

LOREI thought we were okay, I thought things were finally coming together but I was wrong. I woke up to any empty space beside me, i searched the house only to find Mona gone, she had left breakfast prepared for me and a note saying she would be back home soon. My idea was spending the entire day together and making up for lost time,so I decided not to go to the office.But when she came back, she was an entirely different person, she didn't look at me the way she did the night before. I was confused and until now, I still am.She won't look at me for long, she won't even let me get near her. It's like we are back to square one, back to the days before we became friendly in our marriage.It's late at night when she walks into the room and pauses when she sees me standing at the window."Hey.""Hey," I watch her moving around the room. "I'll just go to the bathroom." I look at her hands and she's holding her pajamas, then she walks to the bathroom and closes the door.When she comes

LISATelling Lore I can't love him back wasn't the hardest part, the hardest part was seeing the emotions in his eyes, the hurt, the pain,the misery, the heartbreak and his hope shattering right in front of my eyes. I put that pain there, I wish I never did but it's for the best. If I hurt him this much, how much pain will I cause if he learns that I'm not the woman he thinks i am?That my family lied to him? That I, lied to him. He's fallen in love with me, with Lisa but thinks I'm Mona.I step out of the car and walk to the backyard, I stand near the pool, wrapping my hands around myself. I stand for about ten minutes, there's movement behind me but I don't turn around."Hey," I greet, even without looking behind, I know it's him."Hey."I turn around to face him, he moves closer to me and places his hand on my cheek, our eyes lock and then he smiles."I thought you wouldn't come.""I wasn't going to, but then I thought about it,we really need this talk." I place my hand on his wris
THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise Chapter Twenty Three
LISAI asked Lore if Asah could come stay over for a few days and he said it was fine, he didn't even look at me when he said those words to me and neither did he ask if i signed the papers. For the first time ever, I need to be with someone during the times I feel lost, Asah is the only person I know close to home and her light company might do me some good.My parents were delighted to learn that I asked for her, they think I'm now becoming the honourable responsible lady who they've always wanted me to be and that I'm finally accepting and embracing the life I was born in.They have no idea that I'm actually stepping down from it,which is why when they said if i want Asah to stay, that's okay with them. I just laughed it off and said thanks but I'll have to discuss with Lore first.I'm actually starting to think they've also started to believe this lie of me being Mona, and burying the real me, Lisa. When I think about that, my heart always aches.It's been four days, four days sinc

LISANo, no, I can't possibly be pregnant. This can't be happening to me right now, it can't. Not after taking the step to make things right and finally get free from all this, to free myself and Lore too.I keep staring at the pregnancy test, two lines, two red lines blink back at me and I wish it was all just a dream.I asked Asah to leave me alone, I wanted time to come to terms with the fact that I'm carrying a child inside of me, a child I'm not supposed to be carrying, a child of a man who my family and I have been deceiving for one good year, a man I hurt with my constant rejection.I place my hand on my belly and a tear slides down my cheek.A child, growing inside of me. A life.Pregnancy tests lie sometimes right? They're not always a hundred percent correct, maybe Asah should get me another one.I leave the bedroom in search of her and find her in the kitchen."Asha," she turns around. "I need you to get me another pregnancy test."I push a few pounds her way and she stares

LOREFor the past five days, Mona has been acting extra weird, I know there's the part where we don't talk as much as we used to,but we act civil.I wonder why she hasn't yet handed me the fucking papers, I haven't asked her why either and I sure as hell won't ask her if she's signed them because it might look like i still have hope for us, hope which i totally don't. I made sure to crush it to the ground with the weapon she herself handed over to me the day she told me she will never love me with so much sureness.Her Words. They were the weapon, and trust me, it was a fucking sharp weapon.I look around the entire space as Hillary walks behind me. It's a large spacious room with floor to ceiling windows, the ceiling is white and has nine led lights built in which are separated into three rows aligned from the back of the room to the front. On the sides are four sets of windows that overlook the view of the street below. This room is where the employees cubicles will be, the space is

LORE"She's pregnant."I lift the test again and read the paper in case my mind is playing tricks on me and I'm just seeing things, but no, it's there, the positive on paper, the two lines on the stick.Why would she use a fake surname? Why the hell did she tape the results under the sink?It can only be because of one thing, she's hiding the information from me and she certainly did not want me to find out. I hold them in my hands and start heading for the door, the moment I open it, Mona is also stepping inside the bedroom through the main door.She pauses when she sees me coming out of the bathroom and I see the exact moment she starts to panic. So I was right, she did hide them in hopes that I wouldn't find out.Her chest rises and falls at a quick pace when I slowly stalk her way. I reach close and slowly lift out the hand holding the tests. She stumbles back and her eyes never move from my hand, she stares at them unblinking, unmoving."What are these?" I ask.She breathes hea
