An Impossible Impostor Novels & Stories

She glared at me with wild arrogance. I was speechless. "Did Jackson marry you in your dreams?" "You dare insult me?" Christina's face twisted with rage. She tilted her chin up in disdain. "My husband won't let you get away with this—" I raised my hand and cut her off, "I don't know what your husband will do. But I can tell you this. You pretending to be the wife of the Reed family's heir is fraud, and Jackson will definitely not let it slide!" Watching someone pretend to be a society wife at my expense was a new experience. I almost applauded.

Rudy walks through the door pulling me away from the window, he looks out quickly scanning where everyone was. "Okay we don't have much time so we have to be quick, you have to fake marry me," he says, which makes me just stare at him confused "I know how crazy that sounds but it's what happens here, obviously we're not actually gonna get married but we have to make everyone believe we are," he says, I look out the window to see people starting to look up at us, okay this is so confusing. "I don't understand," I say, but he cuts me off before I could finish.

"I guess you have to sit down first.” With a gulp, I followed her advice and watched as she sat down across from me. My heart raced as I braced myself for what she had to say. "Tell me everything,” I asked, desperate for an answer. “First let me begin by saying your suspicion was true all along. Alexandria was pretending to be you and she managed to deceive everyone around her. Luckily, Mr. Valentino found out she's an Impostor rather quickly. However," Samantha paused. “What.” I gasped, unable to take the suspense. “Telle the bad news.”

She lived nearby, so in just a little over 20 minutes, she was already standing at my door. I poured her a glass of water and invited her to take a seat on the couch. But she refused. Instead, she grabbed my hand tightly. "Piper, I need to tell you something, but you need to prepare yourself." Her hands were trembling, and her face was frighteningly pale. "Ted Towery has been dead for over a month. He fell off a cliff. When they found him, his organs had been shredded by branches! You've been bewitched by a ghost, and that's why you forgot about it!

Just as her colleagues were marveling at her capabilities, a news story erupted. Imogen suddenly became the center of attention in her department. The hashtag "#SentencedForImpersonatingAnother'sDegree" quickly gained traction. Upon reading the news, it was uncovered that a woman named Zoey Layton had fraudulently assumed the identity of Norvania Aerospace Academy's top graduate through her parents' connections. As a result, both Imogen's true identity and that of the impostor were brought to light. Fortunately, the impostor who had impersonated Imogen had her credentials revoked.

Asked Smoke, confused. “If we’re unsure about someone being an imposter, we simply have to ask them to showcase one of their unique abilities to prove their identity. Corinna looks like Venom but she has Corinna’s magic I bet, not Venom’s wolf powers,” said Hayden. Corinna focused on forming a ball of her light in her now large rough palms. She did just that, marvelling at her effusus glowing in her cupped hands. “And in the case of wolves, the imposter would still shift into their own wolf not the wolf of the person they’re pretending to be,” concluded Hayden.

It wasn't hard to tell who the impostor was. He slammed down the fake results on the table and grabbed Jasper hard at the scruff of his collar. “We know that you are an impostor,” he snarled. “Now tell us who the fuck you are and why the hell you look exactly like him. We were able to pull up her records, and your real name is Michael Hall. Why the hell do you look like Jasper?” Jasper number two refused to talk. He simply turned his face away from Ross. I was getting impatient and stood up. I grabbed Ross's pair of handcuffs from his belt and hit Jasper number two in the head with them.

Either way, I was glad I hadn't gotten the imposters libation not just because of its taste but because I had discovered loopholes in this game. Firstly, any imposter was at disadvantage and only possessed a slim chance of not being found out by other cat-eyed contestants. It was almost impossible to gain the point if no one had suspected the individual as an imposter. The next loophole was that any lagging person could copy another who seemed to always get it right which is why I would be giving my best guess last to prevent this occurrence. "Oh, fuck." Effie barfed into the nearest bucked. "Ugh!" Hae Jin did the same.

The impostor replied grimly, “If I hadn’t returned, he would be in complete control of the Greater Realms. Now that I’m back, he’s lost that authority.” Maxine trembled and shook her head in disbelief. “No, no, Truett is not like that. He’s loyal to you. He’s your close friend…” The impostor slowly approached Maxine. “You’re too naive, Maxine. In the face of true power, there are no friends—only winners and losers.”

The murmurs turned sharp, slicing. “I feel uneasy.” “I think we should wait for the host.” “Nuella Hale wouldn’t lie about this, would she?” My jaw tightened, but I didn’t move. Not yet. I wanted to see how far she would go with her performance. Nuella turned back to me, her eyes glittering like broken glass, “Tell me, impostor. Do you really think you can fool Capital City? Do you think you can parade around in a borrowed name and get away with it? I, Nuella Hale, will expose you for the fraud you are!”
