Instead of driving her car, Yvette decided to ride a taxi on her way to Clyde’s house. Because if she’ll pretend to be her sister, she needed to act like she doesn’t know how to drive. Because people around Yvonne know for a fact that she can’t drive even with the numerous lessons that she took before.

After an hour of travelling, the taxi that she was riding finally entered a subdivision. That’s why she became attentive to her surroundings because she needs to tell the driver the right directions for them to arrive exactly at Clyde’s place.

Yvette never expected that she’ll find the information, from her sister’s random stories whenever they talk through text or call or video chat, useful at this moment. Like their house’s address and how it looks like, the name of their house helpers, and even the name of their gardeners. She knows every person that’s related to her twin because of how talkative she was. The reason also why she founds this pretend thing like a piece of cake.

But upon the thought of her sister, Yvette can’t help but smile sadly.

 Now, who will tell her random stories like a kid?

Yvette closed her eyes and tried to think of happy thoughts to stop herself from being emotional. She needs to pull herself together so her plan will go like what she expected. She can’t fail. Because that will make her sister’s death go in vain and she can’t let that happen.

After telling the taxi driver the directions, Yvette finally arrived in front of a mansion-like house. Yvette already expected that Clyde’s house will be grand because she saw it from the pictures that Yvonne sent her before. But still, she can’t help but be amazed upon seeing it personally because it felt different.

The moment she stepped out of the car, two bodyguards immediately attended to her which startled her a bit but she immediately calmed herself.

“Welcome home, Ma’am Yvonne,” the guards greeted her politely with a bow.

“Thank you,” she responded as she mimics Yvonne’s way of speaking.

After greeting her, one of them proceeds to the door and opened it up for her. She confidently stepped inside the house like it was her turf and there she was greeted by another person. It was Auntie Alice, the only person in this place who is close to Yvonne.

“Ma’am Yvonne!” The old lady exclaimed as she run toward her with open arms.

“Auntie Alice!”

“Goodness! Where have you been, huh? We’ve been looking for you for days…” Auntie Alice uttered consecutively while hugging her.

“I’m sorry for not telling you but I just went on a vacation. That’s it…” Yvette trailed which is a lie. After she said that, Auntie Alice broke their hug.

“You should’ve at least told us or just me, Yvonne. If you want me to keep your vacation a secret then I can do that. I was worried sick for you, you know?”

Because of Auntie Alice’s genuine words, Yvette can’t help but feel bad. It made her wonder how will the old lady react if she knew the truth? But she was relieved a little. Because she learned that there is another person beside her who genuinely worries and cares for her twin sister.

“I’m really sorry, Auntie. But hey, I’m here now. You don’t need to worry anymore. I’m fine…”

“Yeah, right. It’s a relief that you’re back. For sure I can now sleep in peace tonight,” The old lady kiddingly uttered which made both of them chuckle a little.

“Anyways, since you’re here, do you want me to prepare you some snacks?”

“Sure, Auntie. Just bring it to my room, I’ll just take a rest.”

“Okay then,” Auntie Alice gave her a nod.

After that short conversation, Yvette took her chance to wander around the huge house. From the floor, up to the ceiling, every piece of furniture, all of those screamed luxury but surprisingly it wasn’t that overwhelming. Or maybe because she owns some luxury brand items that’s why she wasn’t overwhelmed by it?

But going back, she went upstairs to check their room. She didn’t struggle in finding the master’s bedroom because she knows where it is located. That’s why when she reached the door, she opened it without thinking that much and as if it was her room.

Yvette wandered her eyes around the entirety of the room. Just like the theme of the whole house, the room also screams simplicity yet elegance. A king-size bed with a side table, a wooden lamp, a set of leather sofa, carpeted floor, a chandelier, a study table, a walk-in closet and a wide window with thick curtains.

But her eyes stopped in a picture frame that was sitting on the bedside table.

It was a picture of a man and a familiar woman. It was a wedding picture of Clyde and Yvonne. Her twin was smiling so bright in the picture but Clyde was just wearing a serious face.

That made Yvette scoff in annoyance.

Goodness, Yvonne… I love you but why the heck did you let yourself suffer like this?!

After that, she went straight ahead to the walk-in closet. And the moment she opened it her face was mopped with disgust and it was like she was hit with a sudden realization.

She forgot that her twin’s fashion sense wasn’t the same as hers.

“Damn…” She whispered when she saw the majority of clothes which were long sleeves, turtle neck blouses, and polo shirts. “This won’t do.”

How will she wear these kinds of clothes in this hot and humid weather? If she did, then it will be torture to her skin! And as a fashion designer, these kinds of clothes don’t suit her stylish concept. Yes, she’ll continue pretending that she’s her twin sister but she can’t wear her clothes.

So, if someone pointed it out, let’s just say that within a month of her disappearance, a lot of changes happened. And that includes her choice of clothes.
