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 you walk towards her with a fake smile."I will try to win his heart in my ways, with my method," Hadley says, and the girl who still hasn't got her name sneered.And could someone get her a name list!!!!"As you wish Miss Ella, but don't come back crying to me," she says as she would need her help."Don't worry Miss….oops I forget your name," Hadley says smugly trying to get her name but the woman was more silly than she thinks because she stomped off in anger."Looks like I would be needing the name list," Hadley mumbled looking at the entrance hoping her sister would badge in but she was wrong.*******************************************Hadley's father walked her down the aisle as people threw different compliments their way. Hadley wished her mother was present even though she was getting married in her sister's stead.She looked at her husband-to-be or her sister's husband-to-be.Maurice was looking handsome in his blue tuxedo and Hadley forced herself to tear her eyes away."It's bad to gawk at your sister's man," she mumbled under her veil.Maurice looked at his wife-to-be that he was getting married to and he got smitten. Her wedding dress fitted her perfectly and her face…looks refreshed.Why is she beautiful today?? Or gas she has always been beautiful."You are now pronounced husband and wife," The priest says Hadley was waiting for the golden words but she saw none forthcoming and she looked at the priest.What about "You may now kiss the bride" words? Why is the priest not asking? Hadley thought but it looks her perverted wish wasn't going to be fulfilled. Too bad.The wedding reception follows immediately and the guests start mingling with themselves which means the couples will go about greeting people and that was Hadley's nightmare."I still think she is not worth my cousin," Carolina says, livid with envy seeing how Hadley was standing 3 meters away from her husband."Yeah Maurice is too good and he deserves someone better," Kira Maurice's friend chirped bitterly. Only she deserves him.The two ladies dwell in bitterness looking at the newlywed."She wasn't that bad, I thought she was going to mess up," Roberto complimented when she saw how Hadley was handling the crowd. She was his child after all.Karen snorted looking at Roberto that was feeling proud of his daughter. What a shameless man, she thought."I hope you guys give me grandchildren soon," Maurice's mother says, while sending them off to the car that would take them to the hotel and Hadley just smiled awkwardly.Hadley looked at the Gilberts that were standing outside too and she gave them a look asking after her twin but they avoided her gaze.Those swindlers!!Is she going to spend the wedding night with the Ice prince instead of her sister? Would there even be a wedding night? Its not that she was interested but doesn't something happens between newlyweds on their wedding night? Different thoughts filled Hadley's head but a cold voice broke into her thoughts."Let's go," Maurice ordered entering into the car and Hadley sighed, subjecting to fate.Maybe it's just going to be one more day…"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
The whole family looked at Maurice in shock not believing what he just said because it was just not believable. How could he say there were no rashes despite the physical touch?He had had the disorder for so many years. How could he get cured of it overnight? And with just a touch?It was hard to believe. They knew better than anyone how he struggled with the disorder for years.They knew how he consulted different therapists and psychologists because of the disorder so what now."What did you mean, Maurice?" Maurice's mother asked walking towards her son and her eyes were already dampened with tears.She can not just believe what she just heard but the spotless face of her son after the physical touch was already enough proof that it was true.Hadley looked at the scene in front of her and she felt like she should just disappear because she just does not understand what was going on.Why are they fussing over small body contact? She could just apologize if it was going to become an
Hadley looked at Maurice and she wondered what was going on in his head. She knew she could not convince herself that what she did was nothing but she must not believe it.She can not tie herself to the family by being what they just assumed she was because she would be leaving soon and that was it."I don't know what you are trying to believe Mr Elliot but it's definitely not what you are thinking," Hadley says firmly and she avoids Maurice's face.Maurice looked at the woman that was trying all her might to not keep a gaze with him and he noticed that she was struggling with herself.Like she was battling with something and he was going to find out."I still think you were different," Maurice says and before Hadley could counterattack Maurice grabbed her hand and Hadley shrieked at the sudden body contact."What the fuck are you doing?" She shrieked looking for any possible rashes on Maurice's body and it was true the rashes were there.They appeared again.Hadley looked at the rash
