"What's up?" Olivia asked as she made her way to the fluffy bed and flopped on it, bouncing slightly on it. "Ah," she moaned. "It feels like I'm on top of the clouds," She said, closing her eyes and sighing contentedly.
"Olivia! Shut up. We have to get out of here," I said as I skipped towards her. Her eyes shot open and she gave me a puzzled look.
"Why?" she asked. "It's so nice here," she gave me a sly grin, "Juliet."
I groaned. "I'm not Juliet! Don't call me that for God's sake!"
Olivia sat up on the bed, eyeing the door from which we came in from. She took my hands in hers, focusing her gaze on me. "Look Julie, I know you're not Juliet. You know you're not Juliet. Except for us two, nobody knows you're not Juliet."
"So?" I asked, even though I knew where exactly she was going with with this.
She just looked at me like I've grown three heads. "Don't you know what this means? Do you even know who the Jenson's are?"
I scrunched up my
"Why not?" Olivia asked, her tone calm and quiet as if she knew we would eventually go on with this.I shook my head at her, turning around and pressing my back to the window to remind myself of where I really stand in this. "This is so wrong. I can't just go with this. The old lady is mistaken. I'm not her daughter. And I can't cheat them by acting like their real daughter. I don't even know how she behaves. I just can't, Olivia. If anyone gets to know about this, we're so screwed.""B-But no one will know if we don't talk about this. Julie, it's not our fault that they kidnapped us. They must be the one apologizing to us. And it's for the good. Didn't you see how happy you made them? They think you're their daughter. Can't you even do this little thing of pretending to keep them happy for a bit? Imagine how heartbroken they will be if they know you're not their daughter," Olivia gasped dramatically, putting her hand on her chest. But I knew that wasn't the thing she
I didn't know if I was in my right sense of mind. Maybe I wasn't because I wouldn't have gone with this crazy plan with my best friend, who for some reason didn't seem like one to me now. I mean who the heck pushes their best friend into a situation they can't handle? I knew I was going to regret agreeing to her.After saying yes Olivia couldn't help jumping on me, nearly crushing me to the floor, she gave me instructions on how to be a believable Juliet.Asifshe knew it herself.I had no idea how I was going to do this. Were there any manuals on how to act like a billionaire's daughter?I didn't know how Olivia knew this all but she actually did teach me how to at least act rich and a total bitch. I had never imagined Ashley to be of any use but when to act bitchy, she was the right person to take lessons from. I even copied her idiosyncrasy. How to walk, how to talk, how to be rude and how to be a bitch with an unapolo
"Hello, Ms. Jenson," she greeted with a tiny smile on her heart shaped face. "I'm your maid, if you remember me. Mrs. Jenson asked me to summon you for dinner.""Oh...I remember you and I'll be right there. Is Mr Je- I mean my dad at the dinner table?""Yes, he is.""Oh...thanks. I'll be there in a minute. Uh...what is your name?""I'm Samara.""Nice to meet you, Samara." She seemed nice and polite to me so I thought maybe I was going to make some friends here."Nice to meet you too, Ms. Jenson.""Oh, come on, you can call me Julieeeee-t." I almost only said Julie. I should be more careful next time. One slip up and we'd be in great trouble.Samara looked at me with a slight frown on her face. "Okay, Ms. Jens- I mean Juliet."I gave her a smile which she returned with a grin and then she walked off. Rich people liked to look good all the time. And Juliet was a billionaire's daughter so she obviously must look good all th
The irritation in his eyes was gone and I just stared at him as he gave a breathtaking smile to my parents. Then his eyes landed on Olivia. He looked at her for a moment, frowned a bit until his eyes fluttered to meet my wide eyes.And then in a picosecond, his charming smile dropped and his lips pressed in a straight line. His eyes hardened and they openly glared at me causing me to shrink back a little in fear. Nobody's gaze, or rather glare had ever intimidated me so much. He looked extremely scary when he glared at me like that. It was like he was trying very hard to send me six feet under with his glare.Probably sensing the tension at the table, Mrs. Jenson cleared her throat. "Well, this is getting awkward." She muttered under her breath."Um...let's start dinner," Olivia said as her stomach made a low grumble."Yeah," I said, looking away from Ethan Evans' murderous glare.Soon enough, four servants came out of the kitchen. They started lay
Dinner was done and everybody went about their business. My mom probably was in her room after giving me a good night kiss on my forehead. It was awkward but I didn't mind. Dad and Ethan were nowhere to be seen. After dinner, the two had immediately left the dining room and I assumed they had gone to work.It was currently eleven at night and Olivia and I were sprawled on the couch in the enormous living room watching reruns of Supernatural on the huge flat screen. I was far from sleepy and no one was around although the servants must be around here somewhere.As we were in one of the episodes of the second season, I happened to glance over at Olivia, only to see her eyes closed and soft, almost inaudible snores escaping her mouth. I looked over at the grandfather clock hung just above the huge flat screen TV and sighed as I read the time to be almost one thirty. I never went to bed this late. But from the time I was kidnapped, my sleeping and waking up schedules had b
A soft knock on my bedroom door woke me up and I prepared myself for the sun to attack my poor eyes. But it didn't. I slowly opened them and saw the sunlight hidden behind the curtains of the windows. I pulled off the comforter and swung my legs to the side to get out of the bed. I walked towards the bedroom door, running a hand through my hair to ease out the tangles.I opened the door to reveal a grinning Samara."Good morning, ma'am," She greeted me."Samara, call me Juliet," I said, giving her a small smile. "Uh...what time is it?""It's past eleven in the morning. Mrs. Jenson asked me to wake you up for breakfast with her and your friend. I hope you're not angry with me for waking you up," She said as she looked at me nervously.I gave out a chuckle. "It's absolutely okay, Samara. Actually I'm glad you woke me up. And God, had I been sleeping for that long?""You must be pretty tired. Your friend told me that you went to bed at three in
I looked at her, studying her features. Her dark hair was slightly damp, probably from the shower, cascading down her back like a river. Her deep brown eyes stared at me, her brows slightly furrowed as she eyed me worriedly. She had changed into a pair of black jeans and a simple white shirt."Okay," I nodded at her. "I'll stop worrying about this. I'm pretty sure whatever will happen, will happen for good."She grinned at me and went back to her food."By the way, why were you drenched last night? You didn't tell me anything when I asked," Olivia said after some time, pointing her fork at me accusingly.My grip on the glass of water which I held in my hand, tightened as I recalled the events of last night. "I was pushed into the pool," I gritted out."Who pushed you?" Olivia asked, pushing a stray lock of her hair away from her face."Ethan Evans!" I said through gritted teeth, his name leaving a bad aftertaste in my mouth. "I hate that guy
"Only one word; beautiful. This is beautiful," I whispered, my voice barely leaving my lips as I took in the sight in front of me, where I would be living for the duration of my stay at the mansion."So, you like it?" Mrs. Jenson asked and I could almost hear the hesitation and nervousness in her voice. It almost made me want to cry seeing the old lady nervous and anxious to know if I liked it or not.I shook my head at her. "I don't like it, I love it," I corrected, beaming at her, "Mom," I added.IlovehowthewordsoundedwhenIspokeit.Imissmymom.Mrs. Jenson surprised me by stepping towards me and taking me in a tight hug."I'm
