I looked at the woman that claimed to be my fiance's cousin or should I say my sister's fiance and wondered if she had lost some screw in her head.
Because whatever she was saying doesn't sound plausible."Did you go around lying to people because you want to be relevant?" Hadley asked her and she saw her shocked.Yeah, she should be because she hasn't even started. She knew people like that don't go around trying to benefit anyone but themselves so, she knew she had an ulterior motive."I don't know why you will go around trying to tarnish your brother's image but don't do that, it's really bad," Hadley says, the girl looked at her confused but when she saw her hand, she smiled."Why did you think you were wearing a glove, to begin with?" she asked and Hadley looked at her with questions. "That's because my cousin can not stand your touch and being with you might even make him sick".After what the girl says Hadley got lost in thoughts, if her twin sister is going to marry that man then how would she cope? What about their sex life? Hadley thought and she blushed at that thought.Is it even a love marriage?Hadley looked at the girl that looks like she has achieved a greater cause but she wasn't going to give her that fulfillment."Thanks for telling me but I do not think you have to because I have already been informed," Hadley replied and the girl's face twisted in confusion.Was her guess wrong?Hadley looked at the confused expression on the girl's face and she smirked; she knew the girl wasn't telling her things just because she likes her but for an ulterior motive.She knows people like that don't go around doing things that benefit people she knows that much."Since little Miss is done I would be leaving now," Hadley says, turning around and thanking her stars that she did not reply to her like the gangster she was but the girl's annoying voice came again."Little miss? Miss Ella forgot my name so soon". Hadley heard that and she sighed in exhaustion. Looks like they did not do their preparation well.They should have given her a name list even if it was going to be for a day."What do ….," she was saying but a voice cut her off."Ella darling," a woman called and she turned to see her father's wife, Karen, the one that raised her other twin after they snatched her away from her mother."Mom," Hadley called awkwardly and she knew it would be a bad idea considering being an actress. She was really bad at acting."I am sorry I was late for the party, something came up at home," she says, enveloping Hadley in a hug and Hadley knew it was awkward for both of them.Hadley's interest was piqued when she heard what Karen said about something coming up at home.Maybe Ella has returned, she thought.They both made their way into the hall and some people greeted the woman."I know you are not used to the way of the high society but don't go looking for trouble," Karen says through gritted warning Hadley but still maintaining a sweet smile because of the onlookers.Hadley smirks at the woman's words and she knows if she doesn't say the piece of her mind she might go crazy."I don't know your definition of looking for trouble but I do know you guys are trouble," she says and the woman gasped hearing that but Hadley wasn't done."Badging into my house this morning and making me a substitute for your precious daughter was enough trouble, and you. should be thankful I didn't bail out on you but that's going to be the height of, don't insult me," Hadley warned and Karen's face turned green with anger. "Smile mom, you don't want to tell people that I am not your real daughter but a substitute," she cautioned and Karen wondered what kind of person she was."Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to call the couple of tonight to cone and grace us with their presence on the dance floor," the anchor announced and at that time Hadley's head did lots of math."Shit I can't dance," she panicked and her father glared at her. "What do you mean that you can dance? Does your mother not enroll you in a dance class?" Roberto was pissed but his mother glared at him.They can't be caught, no one must know Ella was not the one at the party."It's just a dance, people could make a lot of mistakes no one would know," she says but the grandma's voice rang."Ella is a good dancer," she replies. The reply was short but it passed the message she wanted.Her twin was a good dancer and as a fill-in she can't mess up but before she could ask what she was going to do she saw a hand with a glove in front of her."May I have this dance?" he asked like a gentleman and Hadley felt like fainting.She can't dance to save her life but now she has to dance like a pro."We all have to just hope she doesn't step on her gown," Roberto says looking at the retreating just- found daughter.After getting on the dance floor Hadley heaved a lot of sighs trying to get herself calmed but she was not having it."You know how we do it, Miss Ella," Maurice says before they start dancing and Hadley gawks at him in shock.They have danced before? That means she was going to get caught.They started dancing slowly and Hadley was already calm.She looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her and she smiled.God if he wasn't so grim she would have gushed so much over him.Maurice looked at the woman in front of him and he wondered why she had been acting weird today.She is really weird.She was already daydreaming and she was surprised she hadn't stepped on her gown but good things didn't last."Ahooo!!!" Maurice sneezed loudly and he glared at Hadley immediately she wondered what she did wrong for the ice prince to be glaring at her."You are too close and you are also stepping on my shoe," Maurice sneered and Hadley looked at their legs to confirm his claims and true her glittering stiletto heels were stepping on his shoe.Now she was wondering why she had stepped on her shoe."I am…," but before she could say anything she saw Maurice leave the dancing floor abruptly but she noticed he had already removed his gloves and was scratching his hands.The people around started whispering among themselves about Maurice's leaving the dancing floor and Hadley was sure of what they were saying.It must have been lonely for him, she thought but it was none of her business. She was leaving anyway because it was her twin sister's headache."It's nice meeting you, Mr. Elliot," Hadley mumbled still standing on the dance floor not moving."So, you mean I have to stay here till your precious daughter comes back," Hadley asked looking at the face that was supposed to be familiar but seemed strange She was supposed to leave for her home already but they are still keeping her. She looked between her father and her grandmother who was asking her with a stern face to stay some more days and acting like Ella so Elliot wouldn't notice that she went missing. "Yes until then we hope you find this place conducive and you stay out of trouble," her father says but she had enough. "No," Hadley says, standing up abruptly and walking out on them but her grandmother's voice called her back. "I heard your mother is sick and you are working your bones off to pay for her medical bill so how is this?" the grandmother says walking up to her. "I will pay for your mother's medical bills and you will pretend to be your twin sister for some days". Hadley looked at her supposed grandmother and she sneered. How could these people be so vile?
Hadley looked at the person that just entered the dressing room and her mood dampened. This person doesn't look identical to her, or was she wearing a mask? Hadley thought, looking at the petite woman in front of her. "Congratulations on your wedding Ella," the girl cladded in a white flowing gown, and a mocking smug was plastered on her lips. Is she the bride or what? Hadley thought but she was not in for her talk. She was sure this woman in front of her was no good, so she didn't even bother to waste a breath. "I am sorry that all the tips I gave you on how to win Maurice's heart doesn't work," the woman says with a fake worry and Hadley wondered what she was saying. She gave Ella tips on how to win Maurice's heart. This woman? Hadley shakes her head because it was obvious whatever this woman said to her sister was not going to help instead it was going to be the opposite. Her sister has been duped. "Yes you are right your tips aren't helpful," Hadley says standing up and yo
"God this is magnificent," Hadley exclaimed looking around the penthouse and Maurice creased his eyebrow in surprise.Why does she look so excited over a penthouse? I do not think I ever remember Gilbert being short on money so what is going on with their princess acting like a puppet, Maurice pondered."God look at this amazing city view," Hadley jumped in excitement skipping to the glass window that showed the full view of the city below and she couldn't help but yelp in excitement.A/N: Ok, the countryside's much, she is so obvio.The night was complemented with the bright illuminated moon and the city street light accompanying the magnificent view and Hadley couldn't help but exclaim in excitement because of the amazing view."OMG these rich people really know how to spend money," Hadley exclaimed happily not knowing she said it out loud but a voice behind her froze her immediately."Rich people? I do not remember Gilbert being poor," Maurice says looking at the girl that had deci
Hadley gulped at the newly laid rules and the room suddenly felt suffocated to her. The rules aren't much but why does it feel so hard and unimaginable to her.Married couples won't touch each other? Hadley pondered looking at the man that was avoiding her like a plague.Looks more serious than I thought, hardly whispering in her head as she gulps."So you mean I can't touch you? Not even a little?" Hadley inquired, poking her head forward but a glare from Maurice stopped her actions."I know you are not really daft not to understand my words so I am going to implore Miss Ella not to go overboard," Maurice says but Hadley knew that he was threatening her.Maurice looked at the girl that was looking at him with a Stony face and he wondered if she was really the docile Ella he knew."Ok," Hadley answered through gritted teeth and she let out an awkward smile. "Good I was scared that you don't have a comprehensive mind," Maurice says walking to the bed as he lies on it.Hadley turned al
Hadley looked at the man that was just staring at her suspiciously and she wondered if something was wrong with him.Is he deaf?"I am sorry Miss but I don't understand what you are saying," the man says with a soothing voice that suddenly makes Hadley self-aware.How does a man's voice sound so smooth while mine sounds like a frog's?"You.. You bumped into me and my ice cream fell as a result," Hadley explained and she thanked the heavens her voice didn't betray her.The man in front of us was messing with her head. She has never met a handsome blond before but the man in front of her looks extraordinary."Ohh sorry I didn't notice I was actually in a rush, did you get hurt?" He asked, his face laced with worry and Hadley let out an embarrassed smile."No, I wasn't hurt?" She answered and the man looked at her in shock. "You aren't hurt?" He asked not believing that she could go to that extra length because of ice cream but what he doesn't know is that Hadley was pettier than he coul
"What are you saying?" Hadley asked, her voice firm betraying the tons of emotion that were running through her mind."I think you should be the one telling me what's wrong," Maurice says, walking towards Hadley and she kept shifting back in fear until her back hit the wall and had nowhere to run with Maurice standing almost 3 meters away from her she knows it better to stay still than bumping into him."I.. don't know what you are talking about," Hadley stuttered and Maurice squint his eyes suspiciously not believing her but he decided to forgo it.She was weird so there was no reason to be weirder."Ok," Maurice says walking out of the room but Hadley's voice halted his steps."Why are you here? Don't tell me you wanted to sleep in my room?" Hadley exclaimed and Maurice wondered when the docile Ella Gilbert turns into a clown."No I wasn't here to sleep with you," Maurice says emphasizing on the sleep and Hadley scoffed. "I am here to tell you that you would start your internship at
"It's okay," Hadley answered, bored knowing Maurice wasn't asking because he feels like it. Maurice looked around the slumped shoulder of the woman in front of him and he wondered why he felt like she was shouldering a heavy load."I am sure my sister-in-law would find her way out by using her card as your wife," Carolina says knowing Maurice hates it when someone acts dirty like that, she was literally digging a put for Hadley."What? Did you do that?" Maurice asked his voice grave but Hadley didn't even give him a glance."I hope I can do that but I don't want some crazy girl on my back. I heard you are one of the most eligible bachelors in town? I love my head so I would keep it intact," Hadley says and at that time the elevator opened and Hadley stepped out."Then goodbye Mr. Elliot and ..," Hadley trailed looking at Carolina without mentioning her name till the elevator door closed up.Hadley sighed heavily when she saw the door closed and her expression was complicated."It's a
Hadley looked at Maurice eyes wide open and she wondered how she was going to lie her way through this."I..was..I mean..that was..," Hadley stuttered trying to find the plausible lie that she could find but she found none because was she going to say she stopped being allergic to strawberry overnight?Maurice looked at Hadley who was having hard time processing her thought as she bit her lips hard and he smirked not understanding what was going wrong but he knew one thing for sure something was definitely going wrong."What did you mean? I am not allergic to strawberry," Hadley says, trying her luck because she knew Ella and Maurice were not close before their marriage so there was no way he would know about her allergy."Really? That was not what was in the report I got the other day," Maurice says, amused, rubbing his pink lips and Hadley eyes widened.Report? He had his fiancee checked? She gulped at the realization that her lies might have been caught but she still put up a swee
