…
I headed out of the company after work and drove home.
I found out that there was a new letter in the box outside and I stepped out to have a look.
“Is he aware of your true identity?”the letter reads.
I squeezed the letter in a ball then threw it away.
I took in a deep breath before controlling the door to open with the remote in my hand.
I went back inside the car and drove in then closed the gate.
I got down from the car and stomped inside the house.
I turned on the television and walked away towards the staircase.
*Last night, a lady identified as Lisa was murdered in her house. The cops said they are still searching for the murder and promised to put him behind the bars. Lisa was said to be an indigene of Italy and she only came to America few days ago. As to why she was murdered, the police are already carrying out investigations to figure that out.*
I stopped dead in my track and threw my head back to the direction of the TV.
They were displaying her pictures and my mouth fell opened precipitously.
Is… isn’t she the lady from the other day??
My eyes popped out as I moved in to have a closer look.
She is the lady that… that… hugged John that night at his concert?
How come she was murdered?
I closed my eyes and plopped down on the couch.
I feel so fucking frustrated.
I don’t want to belief this is Kelvin’s doing.
It can’t be.. it shouldn’t be.
Of course, it’s not!
What has that girl got to do with me, anyways?
He wouldn’t have killed her since she is not part of my people.
He wouldn’t… I should keep my belief in that.

Juliet’s pov.
“Ugh… why is the network so bad tonight..”I hissed as I moved out of my room and out to the open, raising up my phone, searching for signal.
I bumped into someone and I almost fell on the floor but a hand gripped me, preventing that from happening.
I looked up to see a lady.
“And, you are?”I scowled.
“Your sister.”she smiles.
I scoffed. “Oh, you mean the impersonator?”I folded my arms.
“Bet you’ve been enjoying the luxuries here.”I smirks.
“You’re right.”she replied.
“I hope we don’t ever meet again like this. I am not your sister, so quit calling me that also.”
“I will try.”she grinned before taking a step closer to me.
“You don’t look like the queen, neither do you look like father..”she drawled out.
My heart stopped beating.
Did my cover got blown?
My mouth quivers as I blinked rapidly.
My body felt hot and I puffed out some air.
“But, I guess you did look like your uncle… I’m a little hurt that you don’t want me around.”she chuckled before stepping back.
“Oh,”she covered her mouth and her eyes grew large.
“You’re not a fake, are you?”she whispered.
My eyes heated up and I felt helpless as I stood transfixed on the spot, not able to say anything.
“That’s a joke actually. Come to think of it, you’re actually prettier than me. Ow, I felt so jealous..”she pouted.
“I will soon be out of here so don’t get too uncomfortable. Goodnight.”she left.
Who is this bitch?
Who does she think she is?
*
Diana’s pov.
I hightailed out of the shop where I’d gone to grab a cone of ice cream and some snacks.
I entered my car and licked the ice cream and breathe out a sigh of relief.
This feels so good.
I grabbed the mince pie and took a bite.
Yummy!
“This is finger – licking good.”I moaned in ecstasy.
I packed some in my mouth before starting the car and driving away.
I munched on it and giggled.
This is so freaking good..
A drop of rain landed on the windscreen.
Huh?
I looked up at the car and saw that the cloud has gone darker.
Soon, the rain started pouring down in great quantity.
Just as I was about to engage the wiper, two cars double-crossed me and I quickly stepped on the brake and pulled the car to an halt.
What’s happening?
I kicked the door opened and stepped out.
“Hey! Are you blind?! What the hell was that?”I yelled.
I am surely going to give the person an earful.
Ugh.
My heart almost flew out of my chest.
“Sheesh..”I cursed as I felt the coldness of the rain.
I was about to run inside when the person got down.
“I’m sorry. I was out of it.”
I could swear I saw a smirk on his stupid face.
Or, am I seeing things?
The thunder rumbled and a lightening struck.
I gotta run back to my car now.
I turned around but felt a hand slides an handkerchief to my nose and my eyes went on and off.
He removed the hankie from my nose and I felt something was pulled over my head.
After that, I saw nothing as darkness pervaded the whole place.
*
John’s pov.
I could hear the plops of rain on the roof as I laid on the bed.
My mind drifted to the scene earlier and I turned to the other side while supporting my head with a pillow.
Who was that guy?
She even left me for him?
My stomach tightened at the thought of that.
I grabbed my phone and stared at the screen. I swiped it open but there was no text messages or calls from her.
Shouldn’t she call or text me at least?
I went to my contacts list to call her but I shake off the thought and threw my phone down on the bed.
I closed my eyes.
Lisa was murdered also?
Who could have done that?
She is not even from here so it would be preposterous to think that this was done by her enemy, plus, she just got here.
I ruffled my hair, lost in thoughts.
My phone vibrated and I opened my eyes and took it.
My eyes shone when I saw it was Aysel.
All my fears melted away.
I picked it up.
“Hey.”I said into the phone.
“How is it going on over there?, the rain is pretty much, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you dressed warmly?”
“I am.”
“I’m… sorry about what I said this morning, I didn’t mean it like that. I.. I love that you’re always checking up on me so I didn’t really meant the part when I said you’re being clingy.”she apologized.
I sat up, with my back leaning against the wall and smiled.
“It’s fine, it’s nothing.”I rubbed my forehead.
“Did you see the news? Isn’t that the lady from…”
“Yes, she is. She is actually my… she was once my girlfriend and.. well, I don’t really know how to react to this. She hasn’t behaved well towards me also but… what I’m i even saying, I wouldn’t have wished for her death.. I..”
“It’s okay. You will be fine, okay? Just take a deep breath and you’re good.”
“Alright. Thanks for calling. I love you.”
“I will forever do. Bye. I have to tuck myself in bed now. The weather is freezing.”she hung up.
I beamed and hummed happily.
A knock sounded on the door and it creaks opened then mom popped her face in and smiled widely.
“John, your bride is here.”
