CARLAI have been trying to get who that girl is. I took a picture of myself and used Google lens to search for it. I wanted to find who this familiar girl is, that's if she is on any social media account. All my efforts have been proving abortive. Meanwhile I plan to return Jayden's money today. I logged in my bank's online platform and tried sending all his money. It took me a long time but it was successful. I also sent him a text saying I'm sorry for everything. I wish he would just come back to me, I miss him a lot. My life has been hell without him, I have fallen too much for him. I also found his card at my doorstep. How the card got back after losing it for days is still a mystery to me. Still, I know Madeline has everything to do with this. "Hi bestie." Joyce said coming into my room. She must have gone out to meet someone, she hurriedly left a while ago. I didn't want to stop her because of how fast she moved. "Are you going somewhere?" She asked looking at me, I'm fully
CARLA(Continued)I moved close to her to be sure I am not dreaming. This can't be a mere coincidence right? What in the world is this? There can't be someone else this close in the world. She looks just like me! How is this even possible if we are not related? She finally looked beside her and saw me, her eyes widened on seeing me. She began rushing away. I went after her, she ran. I chased her but I couldn't keep up because of my heart, I watched her get into a cab fast and left. My hunch about her must be right then. If she's not the one I am looking for, why did she run away when she saw me? This could only mean one thing. She is the one responsible for that video. But there's so much resemblance between us. Who is this woman? She is the one who has ruined my relationship with Jayden, just because we look alike. She has my hair color, eye color and almost exactly the same looks. The only difference is that she wears more make up and her hair is cut to her shoulder length. She ha
JERRY I rang the doorbell for the third time wondering if there is no one at home. As far as Joyce told me, Carla is at home tonight so I am supposed to see her. She has been home since the break up with Jayden, she has refused to see anyone especially me. I don't know what else to do, she's not paying any attention to me. Jayden is no longer with her yet it feels like he's there everyday. This is worse than when she used to date him. I turned to leave when the door opened, I turned around and truly Carla is home. She stared at me with no expression on her face. Her eyes also look a bit puffy, I wondered what happened to her. "Hi." I said nervous. "What do you want Jerry?" She asked in a low breaking voice. "I came to see you. Can I come in." I answered her. She moved out of the way, "Do whatever you want." Then she went inside. I followed her into the apartment, I saw the living room littered with alcohol. Has she been drinking? "Carla, what's wro
JAYDEN"My life is a mess." I drank the last bottle of drink I bought. Carla once again has ruined my night. All she had to do was bring Jerry to the club with her. Despite all my warning and the fights I have had with him. She still chose to always annoy me. EARLIER TODAYI came back from another meeting, once I stepped into the office, I saw a familiar figure waiting there. I looked back to be sure I am not dreaming. How did my secretary let someone into my office without my permission? I don't think Fiona wants her job anymore. "Hi Jayden." She said with a smile. "State your reason for being here." I replied coldly. "To see you, I heard you have been working yourself up for days now. You refuse to rest like before, and you refuse to go out for some fun." She listed. I walked over to my table dropping the files there. "That's not relevant. It's none of your business. You should talk now or prepare to be dragged out of my office." "Jayden!!..." She shouted, then she spoke cal
JOYCEAfter those men left last night, I decide to sleep in Carla's room. She may need someone to attend to her by midnight. If Carla can get drunk, then there's nothing impossible to happen. Carla has a high tolerance to alcohol so it is a big wonder how she got drunk, she must have taken a lot. Only a few bottles are enough to make me lose my mind. She slept for a long time without turning. I waited for morning before waking her up. The only problem is that she is not asking up as much as I am trying to get her up. I panicked, touching her body. It is very hot! "Oh my God! I need to get her to the hospital." I said to no one.I picked up my phone and called an ambulance, then I waited for them and used a cold towel to lower her fever. I'm really i worried about her. The ambulance came, I followed them back to the hospital. Luckily we are going to the city big hospital where Carla's doctor is. I waited at the reception scared and my heart beat very fast. I waited for almost an hou
CARLAJoyce stepped out of the way for Jayden to come close. I shut my eyes and opened them again. I never expected to see him here, he must have also seen that girl who is my lookalike. That should be the only reason he now wants to see me, not because he feels sorry for me. I recalled all that happened last night, I was spouting nonsense but I am very much aware of my actions and surrounding. He must have been the one who took me home also. He sat down beside me trying to hold my hand, I pulled my hand and looked away. "Carla, I'm sorry. Please hear me out." He pleaded. "I don't think you need to tell me anything. You don't have to believe me now that you have seen someone who looks like me. Keep believing what you always have and keep your begging to yourself." I replied harshly. I have mixed feelings. Anger and happiness. I'm angry because he never trusted me enough to believe what I say. He believed what he saw instead. I'm happy because he is here to apologise. I wanted to s
JAYDEN I went to the office before taking my sister to the hospital. I checked on everything Madeline has been doing. The fact that my little sister became too ambitious and stupid worries me a lot. Did she seriously think she would get all my hard work easily? Did she think I would let her have it without a good reason. I was planning to make her CEO for a few years while I get established elsewhere. Now I know why mom always insisted I didn't do it yet. She would have done something tragic to me, I can lose everything I worked for. I stopped in Samantha's ward holding the letter Carla gave me. I smiled at the face she made when I kissed her. She was not expecting it, I seized the opportunity. It makes me sad to know that two important women in my life are going through the same pain. How could they have a hole problem in their hearts? "Aren't you going to come in? Or will keep standing at the door doing God knows what." Samantha called me from the bed. I rushed to her
JERRY I stayed in front of Carla's waiting for one of them to arrive. None of them is picking my calls. I waited for a long time till I saw Joyce coming. I stepped in front of her, she moved back a bit startled. "Oh my! Jerry you startled me." She said, looking a bit nervous again. "I'm sorry. You are not picking my calls, neither is Carla." I apologized still worried. She scratched the back of her neck, making me suspicious of her. "Where is Carla?" "Umm... At this point, I should probably tell you the truth. Only if you promise you'll follow what I say." She demanded. I have her a nod, "l will do what you say. Just tell me where Carla is." I begged her. She sighed, "Carla is admitted at the hospital. She has been diagnosed with a hole in the heart for a long time now. She kept this from everyone including me. I recently found out abs I was so mad at her. She's about to have surgery, hopefully things will work out for her." I held the door for support, how can this be hap
