The Substitute Twin Chapter 8
HAYLEYI stood in front of the mirror, my heart pounding with nerves as I adjusted the strap of the impossibly high heels that were a staple of Harriet's wardrobe. I had never been comfortable in such extravagant footwear, and the thought of having to navigate a fashion show in them filled me with dread.As I stepped onto the runway for the training session, the bright lights and bustling atmosphere only added to my anxiety. I tried to mimic Harriet's confident stride, but with each step, I felt the strain on my ankles growing more pronounced.I cursed myself for agreeing to this charade in the first place. Who was I fooling? I was just a small-town girl thrust into a world of glamor and sophistication, and I was in way over my head.As I attempted to execute a particularly tricky turn, my ankle twisted beneath me, and I stumbled, barely managing to catch myself before I fell. Pain shot through my leg, and I winced, realizing that I had sprained my ankle in the fall.“Harriet! What on
The Substitute Twin CHAPTER 7
HAYLEY“Wait, wait. What? No! Stop!”I pulled my hand from Jin so he would stop from dragging me inside the boardroom. I wasn’t prepared. He didn’t tell me that I have to meet all the members of their company, let alone sit with them. I mean, what for? I am just his pretend wife.“Is there a need for this? I am just your pretend wife. Why would you want me to meet them?”He raised his brow. “What?”He looked so confused everytime I spoke that I questioned every word and action that Harriet had done in front of him. No one even taught me how to be Harriet in front of Jin!“Why are you suddenly changing your decisions? Aren’t you the one who proposed to me that I’ll give you a seat on the board?”I blinked. My throat is dry. Gosh! Harriet! What has she done in her life for me to suffer like this?I didn’t know what to say. I had to process everything and do something that would make sense in front of Jin. Otherwise, he would start thinking that I am a fraud.“What? You’re wasting my time
The Substitute Twin CHAPTER 6
HAYLEY"If I am not Harriet, then who do you think I am?" I looked into his eyes, trying to hide my nervousness. I am not sure if he's being dramatic over my rejection or he just knew that something changed in me."Are you trying to make a joke?" I added.He smirked. "Maybe?"I scoffed. "What are you trying to say?""Harriet..." He called me and it really sounded different. Damn! I don't know how I will be able to last in this act."What?" I glared at him. "Can I not change my mind? Forget everything that we talked about and remember this: no sex!" I raised my brows.He seems amused at my reaction. "I am reminding you that without that, you definitely cannot get my money."I gulped the lump in my throat. I really don't know what to say next knowing I am trapped in this situation. I am not even sure if they will find Harriet before this guy really demanded me to bear his son! There was silence for a minute until my phone rang. I immediately checked to see my fiancé calling me. I felt
The Substitute Twin CHAPTER 5
HAYLEY"Will you marry me, Hayley Marie Basco?" Those words kept ringing in my mind as I tried to think of what I have done in the past to deserve this situation. Few days ago, my long-time boyfriend Harold Wilton proposed to me and I said yes to him. His charming smile was still vivid to me as he reached for my lips and kissed me in front of the people who had witnessed our love for each other. We were already planning our wedding. But, guess what?I am standing in this white-laced dress in front of a man who is supposed to be Harold, but due to unforeseen circumstances it's a stranger who didn't even propose to me. “Do you take Harriet Marie Parker as your lawfully wedded wife, Jin Holland Cavill?” I am not Harriet! I wanted to shout that from the top of my lungs if it would mean I can stop the wedding. However, I am sure that it will make things worse. I decided to agree to the wedding as I don't have any choice. Harriet is still missing or maybe really dead. My life is also a
The Substitute Twin CHAPTER 4
HAYLEY"It's 99%, Ms. Basco," the doctor told me as he handed me the envelope. My mind was still loading as I reached for it with my shaky hands. I already knew this but it still felt new to me. Of course, in my 25 years of existence I never thought that I have a twin nor a biological family I can count on. I grew up in an orphanage. At first, I wanted to find my family but as time went by I realized that my family in the orphanage is already enough for me. And, if they want to find me…they'll make an effort to do so. Should I be happy now? I couldn't find in myself to be grateful of the situation knowing my father is just using me to save his company. And, my stepmother seems to be digging money.“Is there anything I can do for you, Ms, Basco?” I shook my head. “That’s all, doctor. Thank you for your service.” I smiled at her and turned to the paper again, still couldn’t believe what I was reading.“Anything for you, Hayley…” She smiled at me. “Send my regards to the orphanage. I am
The Substitute Twin CHAPTER 3
HAYLEY“I want you to act as your twin sister.”It wasn’t a request, but a command, like he was talking to me as if he was my boss. He isn’t. He is my father as he said so I appreciate at least a bit of concern…or perhaps a hug that says he was happy to see me. However, it seems like my twin sister is more important than me.“I am not getting what you want from me,” I replied.“Well, what part did you not get?” It was the woman now. “Your sister is missing and we need someone to pretend to be her for the wedding to happen. Of course, you will do it because you certainly looked alike.”The woman raised her brow as she looked at me from head to toe like she was trying to find my soul. Indeed, we do look alike because we are identical twins but her life was different from the life I have known so it’s impossible to do the job. I don’t even wear heels which my twin sister happens to have as her closet only has those.“Hayley…” My father held my hand. I am surprised he even knew my name. “J
The Substitute Twin CHAPTER 2
HAYLEYDarkness filled my sight when I woke up. My whole body is numb. I couldn’t move my finger…and when I tried to lift it I realized I had been tied. I started panicking, sweat dripped from my face as I struggled to shout…but there were no words coming out of my mouth.Where am I? I tried to recall what I was doing before it seemed like it’s my end. As I remember, I was walking to the parking lot of my car after my visit to one of the sites as I was doing a project with a big company. It was around 8 o’clock in the evening, I was heading home. Unfortunately, someone grabbed my arm…and here I am now.Oh, my gosh! I’ve been kidnapped.“Hmm…” I shouted again but it was a struggle as there’s a tape in my mouth. “H…e….l….p…”I moved my body, tried to roll, pushed my feet, tapped the wall, and tried everything that could help me. In the end, I got tired and just helplessly cried. I am still young at 25 and I still have a lot of things I have never done in my life. If I only knew that this
The Substitute Twin CHAPTER 1
HAYLEY"Sister Hayley!" The kids at the orphanage shouted my name upon entering the main gate. They ran towards me with a wide smile on their faces. "Hey, don't run!" I yelled. "Watch out! You might fall!" I warned them, running quickly to catch the kids. "Just wait for me at the entrance!" The kids didn't listen to me though. They kept on running towards my direction until they reached me and all of them circled around me. Some of them holding my hands, others hugging my legs, and some just jumped because they were so happy to see me. It's been years since I last visited the orphanage. They're about 4 to 7 years old. I chuckled upon remembering the scenario from years ago. I used to be like them as I stayed in the orphanage until I graduated college. The kids showed me so much happiness and excitement that it reminded me of how simple life is growing up. All I want before was to get gifts from Sister Mary whenever she goes to the city. "Sister Hayley! We missed you so much," Ben,
