Episode 20

MYLES POV?
I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Skyler and Cindy…
“He’s awake”. Cindy said happily and Skyler smiled.
“Welcome back brother”. He said and I smiled.

“Ellen is still unconscious”. Cindy said.
“I don’t care”. I replied and they frowned.
“How was your wedding?”. I asked them

“Actually brother, it was uhh, you know it was postponed”. Skyler said and I opened my eyes wildly and sat on the bed.
“Are you feeling well to sit now?”. Cindy asked and I nodded.

“What happened?”. I asked.
“What would the world think of us if we eventually get married?”. Skyler asked.
“We can’t marry now until Ellen’s woken up”. Cindy said.
“No, you have to marry”. I replied and took a phone from the table. I dialed a number..
“Hello”. I said.

“This is Riverdale hotel management and suites”. He said.
“Arrange your hall, I want to use it tomorrow”.. I said
“Someone has booked for it sir”. He said.

“I’m Myles Horace and I don’t care if anyone has booked for it, I get what I want”. I said and switched off the phone.
Skyler laughed and mimicked.
“I get what I want”. He said and I chuckled.
Ellen coughed from behind them and they turned and went to her bed.

“Ellen”. Cindy said..
“Where’s Myles, hope he’s well, hope he survived, hope he is aware”. I asked.
I felt guilty cause I didn’t ask of her and she asked of me…

“Hey sister-in-law, he’s well, how many questions do you want me to answer”. Skyler asked and he smiled.
“I’ll take some rest now”. She said and I called out.
“Ellen”.

My voice seemed to derail her, it’s like she didn’t know I was there, if she had, she wouldn’t have asked after me.
“Thanks for asking after me” I said.

“Don’t thank me, I asked to know if you’re dead”. She said and Cindy nudged her with an elbow.

“It was a slip of tongue actually, perhaps the effect of the paracetamol we gave her”. Skyler said and I nodded and stood up.

“Are you sure you can walk now?”. Cindy asked.
“Yes, I’m not as lazy as some people”. I said referring to Ellen…
..
..
I left the room and went to the parlor…
“You’re awake son”. My mom said with a smile and Dad hugged me..

“Who kidnapped you?”. He asked.
“Actually mom, it was Rita but she just did it to scare us”. I said and Ellen, Skyler and Cindy came into the parlor.
“It was Rita, mother-in-law, she’s the snake”. Ellen said and mom gasped.
“You’re joking right”. Skyler said laughing.

“It’s not funny brother-in-law, it was Rita, she used a hard harmer on Myles, he has the scar, the hammer was hot so the scar would probably be on his….”
“Stop all this Ellen”. Dad said.

“Dad?”. I said surprised.
“During the day you were kidnapped…. 5 hours later when I came and met Cindy and Skyler tied together, we all went to the psychiatric hospital but Rita was right there sleeping”. Dad said.
“It’s not possible”. Ellen shouted.

“There’s an hidden secret that we all have to reveal”….
Cindy screamed and we turned to look at her.

“I think our problem just doubled, Rita has a sister named Sadie that looks exactly like her, they’re both criminals”. She said and I turned to look at her.
Was she also hiding something???

“And how did you know that?”. I asked.
..
..
..
Rita’s POV
“She’s here”. The nurse said and went outside to bring her…
Sadie came and i hugged her.
“My twin sister”. She said and hugged me back..

“The nurse told me how you were sleeping when they came thinking it was me”. I said and she smiled.
“It’s nothing, what about Brody?”. She asked.
“Dead”. I replied.
“Wow, I really love your determination to revenge”. She said.

“I think I know who Cindy is”. She said and I turned and looked at her shocked.??
“Who?”. I asked.

“Our long time best friend that betrayed us”. She replied and I gasped…
“Fiona”… I said…

End of Rita’s POV
..??

Ellen’s POV
I folded the bedsheets and arranged them in the wardrobe as Myles came inside.

“You embarrassed me today and I don’t want to know we don’t love each other”. He said.
“Sorry”. I replied.

“As long as we’re here, pretend you love me and I’ll do same, remember we are going to get a divorce in the next 3 months”. He said.?????

“I’ve heard, let’s go through the rules, I mean precautions”. I said and scratched my hair.
“No kisses, No hugs”. I said.?????
“No cuddling, Distancing except we’re in my parent’s side”. He said.

“And if we violate any of these rules, what should be the punishment?”. I asked.
“The person will have to cook for the family members and wash the clothes”. I said.

“There’s washing machine”. He said and chuckled.

“You know how mother-in-law hates her clothes being washed in washing machine, use hands”. I said and he chuckled.?
