EMMA POV
“Bring out the pictures ” Michael said to one of his goons and immediately he brought a picture to the table
“What’s in the picture?” I asked
“Look at it yourself and tell me what you think” He replied smiling devishly
The guy holding me still on the chair,Pulled me towards the table
I took the picture and I was shocked with what I saw there
It was someone who looked exactly like me
The clothe she was wearing screamed out for wealth and the way she had her hair done also talked of the money she had, Even if I had money,I could never dress like her
But what puzzles me most is that she has my face and I don’t remember my parents telling me that I have a twin or do I have one that I don’t know about
“She is not your twin, If that is what you are thinking, Get it out of your head” Michael answered my question like he knew what I was thinking of
“Then who is she” I asked
“She is Dora Baxter, Daughter of Minister Baxter” He replied
“But how come she has……..”
“Your face? I was also shocked when I saw her, At first I thought it was you but the way she react made me realized that she is not you”
“Then who is she and why does she have my face”
“Call it the will of God or nature or destiny, All I know is that there is a reason why You both have the same face”
“A reason?”
“Yes,A reason, You both aren’t twin but you have the same face and she is rich while you are poor, Isn’t that telling you something” He asked
“No, It isn’t telling me a thing Michael” I replied feeling shocked at this discovery
“Well then I will explain better, You my dear Emma are going to take her place”
“What?”
“You look so much like her and with a little dress up There won’t be a difference to comment on,You will be perfect ”
“What your trying to tell me Now is that I pretend to be this lady?”
“You aren’t as dumb as I thought you to be” He replied smiling
” Your crazy! I won’t do such a thing!”I yelled at him
“Of course you will,You gave me your word and the threat on your father isn’t over yet”
“But I can’t do it,I can’t pretend to be her,Have never even see her before,I can’t do it”
“You can and you will do it, Its a must that you pretend to be Dora Baxter,I need you to help fulfil my plan”
“What plan?” I asked gently
He walked to the table drawer and pulled out a picture,Then he shoved it at me
I turned the picture over and I saw a guy,A very handsome one,He had blue eyes and a very sexy face,Am sure that a lot of women would be dying to have him In their life but not me and I certainly don’t want to be part of this charade
“Who is he?”
“Are you messing with me? You don’t know who he is?” Michael replied angrily
“No I don’t?” I retorted angrily too
“He is Brian Stone,King stone and Queen Sonia son,Apparently he is the Crowned prince and the next King to the throne”
“What is his role in this….plan of yours”
“He is the one am after”
“Why are you after him?” I asked
” The man is a bastard, I had it all, I had it in my grasp but when he meddled,I lost every thing and no matter what I do,He still keeps on meddling”
“Can you explain further on this” I asked
“You don’t need to know all that,All I want you to know is that Brian Stone is the real enemy,The one I want to destroy and that can only be fulfilled through You” He replied
“Destroy? You want me to help you ruin him?” I asked
“Not only ruined,I want him dead” He said
“Dead!!! Have never killed some one and I won’t do it now because of You,I won’t get my hands Stained because of you” I yelled at him
“You have no say in this Emma,You are to do as I say and that’s final”
“Never,No I won’t” I moved away from them,Intent on going outside but the rough pulling from Michael stopped me
“Have hatched this plan for years now and I won’t let a stupid thing like you destroy it,Its either you comply or Your father dies”He stated fiercely
“Just stop this Michael,He is your father too,You can’t possibly want to harm him”
“He is not my father and I will never see him as my father and to get what I want am willing to do anything, Zack!” He called one of the men there and the one called Zack responded
“Call the man at the hospital and tell him to finish the job” Michael said this starring at me
“No Michael,Don’t do this” I begged
“Its either you help me get Rid of the Prince or Your father dies”
“But am not a killer,I can’t possibly do what you are asking me?” I replied
“You can and you will! Its what I want and if you love your father,You will agree to it right now!”
I looked at the Zack guy and saw that he was already calling,I looked at Michael and I knew that he wouldn’t change his mind
If pretending to be someone else and also to kill the Prince is the only way to save my dad,Then I will do it,I thought sadly
“Fine! You win,I will do it” I said feeling forced into something that I know will turn out bad for me
“Zack!” Michael called and the man ended the call
“That’s my Good step sister, I know that you will not disappoint me” He said gently tapping my cheek
I pushed his hand away, Feeling disgusted by his touch and he laughed
“So now,Let’s talk about what your role will be in all this” He said sitting down
“Am listening” I replied hotly
“Save all that fierce spirit in you for later Because Brian Stone is someone who is not intimidated easily”
“I wish he would catch me and stop me from doing any harm”
“That’s the problem here love, Brian must never know what you are up to,Your father isn’t really out of danger,So don’t be too happy”
“I hate you!” I yelled at him
“Same with me but to achieve my aim,Am willing to be a friend,A stepbrother and also a brother in law”
“What do you mean by a Brother in law?”
“My wife is Brian Stone sister, Didn’t you know” He asked
“If it pertains to you,I never want to know” I retorted angrily
“Well you will have to know because it now pertains you”
“Dora Baxter is engaged to the prince, It was announced a month ago, It is not a love match thing more like a business arrangement,So you wouldn’t be forced to kiss or sleep with the prince” He added
“I wouldn’t sleep with him,Not even if it was part of your plan! ”
“Poor you, Am sorry to say but you have no say in this,If the Prince wants to sleep with you,You have no option than to oblige”
“Tell me to do any thing but not to sleep with Brian stone”
“Whatever,When the time comes,You will do it any way,So back to what I was saying, We will get the real Dora out of the way and you will be there instead,You will get to know things about Dora so you can act like her perfectly and once you are in fully,I will give you your first assignment on how to kill Brian”
“Tell me Some thing,How do you plan on getting Dora out of the way?”
“Its simple and that is by killing her” He replied and I gasped
“Does she have to be killed?”
“If we want this to go smoothly, She have to be out of the way ”
“Don’t kill her,put her somewhere or lock her up,Just don’t kill her, When I leave ,She will come back”
“And who told you that you will be leaving? You wouldn’t be leaving because you will forever be Dora Baxter”
“What?”
“The plan is for you to kill Brian stone but not before you get him to sign all his fortunes to you alone and so when he is out of the way and I manage to get my wife out of the way too,We will both enjoy the money”
“I don’t want any money,once we are through with this,I want to leave ”
“That’s impossible Emma,Once you take up Dora identity and her life, You will keep on being Dora for as long as you live”
“I will never be able to me again?” I asked
“Yes,You will no longer be Emma Chadwick but you will be Dora Baxter” He replied
