Chapter twenty six
"You again," Ema said to Rodriguez.
The latter made sure he had another sip of his orange juice before speaking.
"I'm sorry, Have we met?"
Ema became a bit confused. He had to be the one from Tower, the one who called her Adriana. She couldn't be losing it so quickly.
"You from the company where my father works. Are you the one that helped us...you know from the goons?"
"Actually..." Miranda cut in seeing Ema wasn't even taking notice od the others on the table, "I did. How do you feel now?"
"Better I guess," Ema answered.
Ema stole another look at Rodriguez as she walked sluggishly to the table.
"Adriana!" Nathan joyously exclaimed, his usual bubbly self.
Ema did not miss it. He called her Adriana so she had to be in the right house since the man in front of her called her that last time.
Miranda could smell the tension in the room, especially between Rodriguez and Adriana's lookalike.
What could be wrong?

The wife Chapter twenty seven
Rodriguez exited the house before he could hear more of what Ema or Adriana had to say.She's playing a game.Rodriguez knew it and he had the proper way to deal with it.She would wish she remained dead.His driver opened the front door of the car to let him in before shutting it."Where are we going?""To meet someone."Chale failed him horribly and he and his family was surely going to suffer the consequences of the inconvenience.Now he had to make new schemes. Ema finally made it to the Tocci house, he needed a new plan and surely one that was fail-proof.Ema's family especially her mother was reluctant and had this distrust about Miranda. He could surely use that to his advantage.But Nathan...Yes! Even if Ema was just a lookalike there was a possibility she could help Nathan remember. He had to remind the maid to fulfill her tasks.He picked up his phone and called."Hello,

"Are you ok?" Nathan asked, catching Ema before she could fall."Yes," Ema assured, getting back on her feet.Was that a memory?If it was, who was that man?The photo that had triggered that memory was a wedding photo, Was she..."No!.." Ema cut that thought off almost immediately.Why in the world would she be married? It was just so absurd."It could be a wedding she attended in the past."Ema finally concluded and let go of the awful thought.She took the picture from Nathan and examined it, her focus mostly on Adriana.How could two people have such a striking resemblance?"What was she like?" Ema asked Nathan.She was certain he wouldn't be able to answer her due to his condition but at least, he would be able to say something nice or something he remembered about her."She was very stubborn but she had a good heart." He replied in his infant voice."That'

Mrs. Contreras didn't answer and the awkward silence was getting disturbing.She could say no and he, could not let that happen."Are you having second thoughts, Mrs. Contreras?" Rodriguez said to the phone."I—just don't want her to hate me, I feel bad enough hiding the truth from her."She was indeed having second thoughts.Rodriguez then instantly knew he had to step up his game if he was going yo stand a chance in pushing her to his side of the battle line."I know Mrs. Contreras but you don't know what family she comes from. If you have the internet, just search on the Romero's. She comes from a wealthy and influential family herself and I'm sure even if she remembers nothing, She still has her flaws."Rodriguez then went on to mention some of the flaws."But if I manage to stop her from seeing the Tocci, How do I stop her from remembering?""Hypnotism," Rodriguez answered. "I have done research on the best

"She called Miranda."Rodriguez read the text again.It had taken him from his wife's warmth at 10 in the night.It didn't take him to guess who Camille was referring to.He stretched his aching joints in the small space the closet had.What to do now?,He muttered to himself as he searched for Mr Contreras' contact."Hello Mr Contreras." He acknowledged when the call went through."It's me." A hushed voice whispered back.Rodriguez could not believe she still held on to the phone. She must really want Adriana badly. All in favor of him though."Adriana reached out to the Tocci's. How?""How am I supposed to know? The phone was in my hands all day." She snapped."We'll fix it." Rodriguez retorted and cut the phone.Immature, He mumbled before the closet's door creaked open."Rod, Why are you here?""I was just checking—what to wear tomorrow, I'll be leaving quite early.

The ambulance made it early to the scene after being called by a good Samaritan who lived close by.Police sirens also screaming loudly into the night.Mrs Romero watched Adriana being carted away in a gurney for treatment as the police questioned her about the accident.She explained to the detail what happened to blame Walter for being reckless.Just then she remembered Walter.She turned to the mangled vehicle to see Firemen trying to get Walter out."Were you also involved in the accident?" The policeman asked."I was in the car." She rudely retorted wondering why he would ask such a dumb question."Then you better get a checkup."Mrs Romero took the officer's advice and joined the ambulance before it left.The vehicle took no time in getting to the hospital. Walter and Adriana's lookalike were rushed to the emergency ward.Ema is immediately hurried to the room prepared for her.The doctors

"Get my phone!"Miranda yelled to the passageway that Camille disappeared to a minute ago.She discovered Camille wasn't answering. Her son continued to slip away, the quick Revelation that her son might be no more in the matter gave Miranda the distorted memory she lost. She immediately reached into her pocket and brought out her phone before dialing the emergency number as quick as she could.Soon the loud silence is replaced by the loud siren noises.The three minutes were the longest Miranda had ever faced as she watched her son being strapped into the vehicle for treatment."Is he alright?" She frantically quizzed a paramedic attending to him. The woman ignored her and continued to do her work.The ambulance started to move and Miranda took her seat praying to God to save her son."Your son is alright now." The doctor assured Miranda in his office."But I have to ask you a question, Your son was being poisoned. He was being f

Nathan flinched feeling a sting in his wrist. He forced his tired lids opened. His eyes burned not used to the light.The first question to pop into his mind was 'where was he?'He sat up and his arm stung again. He turned and ripped away the needle that caused the pain.He could now make out that he was in a hospital but he couldn't make out why.I survived.Nathan remembered being shot. He checked the spot to see the bullet wound.It was odd to just see a scar in place of what was supposed to be a fresh wound.He let his finger linger around the scar wondering why it healed so fast.He got out of his bed trying to stretch and ponder on what was happening.Someone at the left whimpered, like they were in pain.He turned to where the noise came from."Adriana!"He rushed to her bedside.Her face was squeezed and she continued to breathe heavily.It had to be a nightmare."Nathan!"

So now she's awake.Nathan watched Ema stretch out her hands and run her eyes before she opened them to reveal the darkest chestnut brown orbs.This kind of beauty only belonged to his wife. If she was truly a lookalike, they couldn't share exactly the same features."Where am I?" Ema mumbled, shocked to see herself in the hospital."The hospital. Isn't it obvious?"Ema turned to see who was talking."Nathan…""I see you know my name. Do you like it?"Nathan got up the bed he was in and approached her.Ema could feel her breath slipping away when he got too close for comfort.He was so close to her face that she could see his peach soft lips were natural."You must be Ema, Ema Contreras," Nathan noted.Ema ran her hands her short hair just to get the awkwardness of the situation out of her mind.What she didn't understand was why he was talking different. His stance had even changed. She suspected
