Chapter 4

"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? 

"So, you are trying to pay me to stay by using my mother's illness, the one that raised me, and give you this grace to even speak with me," Hadley said, through gritted teeth looking at the woman in front of her. "If you can bargain with me to stay then I don't see a reason you can not ask your precious daughter to come home," Hadley says, referring to her twin sister. 

If her twin sister was so precious that they could not reason her to come home then Hadley doesn't see a reason to stay and do their bid. 

"Hello, Steven discharged that woman from the hospital we are no more paying," Hadley heard her father speak to the phone and fear surged in her heart. 

"Is that my mother?" she asked and he nodded his head. "What the fuck did you do to my mother to get admitted to the hospital," Hadley roared and they looked at her in shock. 

She was different from her sister, that was their thought. 

"Nothing, she had a seizure and my man that was close to her at that time helped her to the hospital," Roberto explained to her daughter but she wasn't having it. 

"I want to go home now," Hadley says frankly. She wasn't staying calm, that was her mother they were talking about and she was nowhere near her when she was having a hard time. 

"You are going to see her but not now," Hadley's grandmother states, and Hadley wondered if the woman was heartless.  

"We are going to sort out her bills but we will need you to keep calm till Ella comes back," she says and that got Hadley thinking. 

Going home to her mother won't guarantee her mother's health but with Gilbert's help, she can sort out her bill and also go back home in just a few days. 

"Ok fine," Hadley agreed. 

It's just going to be for a few days so, she thought and she walked out. 

"She is different from Ella, mother," Roberto says looking at the retreating figure of Hadley. 

"I know but she has a weakness and that weakness is what we are going to use," grandmother Gilbert says as she sips her tea gently. 

*************************************  

A week flew and it was the day of Ella and Maurice's wedding. 

The church was already packed with dignitaries as they went about socializing. 

"Ok you don't have to look like it's a funeral man," Caleb the best man teased Maurice and he sneered. 

Maurice glared at his friend, heaven knows he doesn't want to have this wedding but it was still holding even if he doesn't like it. 

His mother doesn't care about his opinion or even his disorder of having contact with women. All she wanted was to have grandchildren, which was not going to happen. 

"But I heard Ella Gilbert is a good lady. I am sure your marriage would be great," Caleb says, patting his friend on the back before he went to welcome some guests. 

"A good lady," Maurice scoffed. "I don't have a good memory of her being good," Maurice says remembering their last encounter and he snorted. 

Inside the hotel dressing room, Hadley was being dressed but she gritted her teeth in anger seeing what was happening to her. 

She was fucking getting married!!!!  

She was supposed to be a fill-in for a few days before getting married. Why the fuck did they change the script, Hadley screamed inwardly. 

After Hadley was dressed the team left her room leaving her alone but Karen entered. 

"You don't have to worry whenever Ella gets here you are switching places," Karen says looking at Hadley that was brewing in anger. 

"Where did fuck did that girl go!!" Hadley screamed. 

Heaven knows if her twin sister appears now Hadley was going to spank her till she loses her senses. 

"She is going to be here but until then please save us," Karen pleaded going out again and Hadley sighed. 

If anyone told her that she was going to be a substitute for anyone she was going to argue but here she was getting married in the place of her sister. 

Hadley admired herself in the mirror but she sighed sadly. "It would have been nice if it was my wedding," she mutters sadly but she heard the door to the dressing room open suddenly and her heart skipped. 

Is that her sister?? Hadley turned immediately and she came in contact with the person's face. 

This??? Hadley gawked at the person's face in surprise….
