Ella heard the police sirens in the distance, it was getting closer by the second and she knew within five minutes or less, they would be at her door.
A few minutes later , Brook smirked. " Do you hear that? Soon you will be in handcuffs and this whole nightmare you have created will be over. You will be the one behind bars."Ella sat smiling as she gulped down the last drops of her wine.A gentle knock on the door made Brook jump up from the couch.She opened the door fiercely." Here she is officer. The liar. She isn't missing. She is here. Summer Ray.""Calm down, Miss Wilds." The officer held up his hand. " Are you sure this is Miss Ray?""Look at her. This is her." Brook insisted." Miss Ray?" The officer looked at Ella."Miss Wood's. Ella Woods." Ella introduced herself."She is lying." Brook shrieked." Can I see some identification?" The officer asked politely."Sure. Ella picked up her hand bag and rummaged through its contents, finally pulling out her wallet.She handed over her identity card to the officer."Miss Ella Wood's, I apologize." The officer handed her the identity card back and turned to leave." It's a fake." Brook shouted." It looks real to me." The officer said over his shoulder." I will have you reported if you don't launch a thorough investigation. My father is the chief captain and he won't take this lightly." Brook threatened ."Miss Wood's, please can I have your identity card back." The officer looked at her identity card over and over." It seems very much legit to me."" It is a fake." Brook insisted. "Run it through the system, you will see."The officer picked up his two way radio and called out her identity number."The identity number belongs to a Miss Ella Wood's," the voice boomed through the speaker." There you have it, Miss Wilds." The officer said.Brook took out her phone and shoved it in his face." Look at the picture. This is Summer."The officer looked at the picture and then at Ella." They look similar but different. I cannot arrest someone because they look like a missing person."" It is her. I know it. She is a lying, evil menace." Brook spat out in frustration. She wasn't used to not getting her way." Miss Wilds. To my knowledge of your statement, Miss Summer was your friend. You had said she was one of your closest friends. How could you say such words against her?" The officer asked." It was before she framed us for killing her!" Brook screamed." Just arrest her!"" Miss Wilds, I cannot arrest her. On what grounds ? " The officer continued to question.Ella stood watching the frustration build up in Brook. It was satisfying." Arrest her as a suspect. She looks like Summer. And she has just popped up here from no where." Brook claimed." I did not pop up from no where. I am from Palm beach and I have come here as an Investor. I am here on business." Ella said calmly." There you have it Miss Wilds. You cannot go around accusing people." The officer almost barked at Brook. He seemed annoyed with her insistence." It is a wig. Let me show you." Brook grabbed Ella's hair and tugged.Ella screamed in pain." Let go of me."The officer stepped in and grabbed Brook by the waist pulling her away."You should be arresting her!" Ella rubbed her head." So she dyed her hair. Anyone can do that."Brook said as she looked at the picture on her phone."Please wipe your cheeks." The officer asked and Ella obeyed."Look here, Miss Wilds. The girl in the picture has freckles. Miss Woods has no freckles. Her hair is a different colour and so is her skin tone." The officer said flashing her phone in her face." Please stop this nonsense. The only reason you are not behind bars unlike your boyfriend Bobby Styles, is because your father is the captain."Ella's heartbeat quickened when she heard Bobby was in a jail cell. But this was not revenge enough for her. They both needed to be behind bars, they both needed to pay even if she prolonged this case for a month, she hoped that they would both learn lessons." I am innocent. I am handing you, Summer Ray on a silver damn platter and here you are telling me that I am roaming the streets because of my father's status." Brook clenched her fists." I cannot arrest someone based on them looking like another person. I keep repeating myself to Miss Wilds. I think it's time we need to leave Miss Woods room and go down to the station. Your father will be able to clear this up better than I can." The officer spoke calmly, but it was evident that he was already annoyed by Brook." You leave me no choice." Brook waved her hand in the air,saying something under her breath.Ella could not make out the words but she knew it wasn't good.Brooks eyes glowed red as she finally clicked her finger and the officer nodded." Miss Summer Ray, you are under arrest." The officer said as her walked towards her with hand cuffs.Ella had now understood, the officer was under a spell. He had no control over what he was doing.Before Ella could try to reason, he slapped the cuffs on her wrists and hauled her into the elevator.People around the mall started to click pictures. She was going to be the talk of the town, especially amongst these rich folks.Her hair was a mess. Dressed in pajamas she looked like a mistress getting caught.She knew her father wouldn't be too pleased. He had warned her about getting caught. Now she was done for, fear crept in. Her revenge plan didn't look appealing to her anymore and she should have thought it through."Watch your head." The officer said as he placed her into the back of the car.The officer dragged Ella into the police station," looks like I just solved the missing person's case,boys!"Cheers erupted all around her but the captain didn't look too pleased." Officer Duke, do you know who this is?""Yeah, boss. It's Summer Ray. The girl that went missing a week ago. You should be happy. Your daughter is of the hook for kidnapping and possible murder."" You idiot. Do you not read the paper. It is Miss Ella Woods. The investor of the new upmarket hotel and mall on the southside of town." The captain barked. "Sir. That's what I initially thought but your daughter insisted I bring her in." Officer Duke replied." You are listening to my eighteen year old daughter who barely has the knowledge of frying an egg." Captain Wilds lifted an eyebrow.Officer Duke shoved Ella into a cell and slammed it shut. He pulled Mr Wilds aside and began a conversation of persuasion.Ella's Luna senses heightened as she concentrated on hearing."Just think about it. She will be frame
Ella sat down on the bench and stared at the two officers. She couldn't believe that they were treating her as a criminal.A woman barged through the doors and immediately Ella recognised her mother. "Where is she?" Mrs Ray said frantically."Sorry miss. But who are you looking for?" Officer Simon's asked leading her to a chair."My daughter. Summer Ray." She replied.Her eyes met Ella's and she immediately rushed to the jail cell."My poor baby."Ella held a confused expression. Her heart hurt and she knew this would hurt her mother but she did it anyway." Mrs Ray?" Ella asked."Mrs Ray? What's wrong with you Summer? Do you have amnesia?" " I have heard so much about you from my dad. You look the same as you did ten years ago. I saw a picture." Ella replied innocently.Mrs Ray took a closer look at Ella. " Who are you?"" I am Ella Woods. Mr Ray's adopted daughter." Ella replied. She knew the words cut through her mother's heart but this was her identity now. " Patrick's daughter
"Are you an imposter?" Officer Simon's shouted loudly.His voice rang in Ella's ears.Her eyes grew dark and nostrils flared for a few seconds before she replied calmly," no,sir."He wasn't worth getting angry over." Are we done here?" Ella asked politely." Wow. You are really in a hurry to get back to your beautiful jail cell. The smell of roses on a dewy evening and the pink coloured wallpaper, with pink flamingos seems really attractive." Officer Simon's grinned.Ella rolled her eyes at his sarcasm. He was really starting to annoy her."Are you two ready for the results." Mr Luke interrupted."Of course. Finally I can prove that she is an imposter and get my promotion." Officer Simon's brushed his auburn hair from his forehead.If he wasn't such a douche bag Ella would have found him attractive. He was well built with grey eyes and Sparling white teeth. He could easily get a job as a model or actor, but here he was, causing unnecessary trouble for her.At first Ella thought it w
"Do I know Summer Ray?" Ella questioned."Girl. Can you not be so frustrating. You are repeating everything I say like a parrot. If you want to ask the question, ask it in your brain and then supply me with the answer." Officer Simon's pulled his hair. " Stop beating around the bush. Answer the questions."" Is she the girl that you think I am? Only because I look like her?" Ella asked dumbly."Answer the question!" Officer Simon's screamed out so loud that the female officer opened the door and peeped in." Is everything alright in here?" She asked politely."Just get out. Everything is fine." Officer Simon's replied rudely.The officer closed the door quickly. Ella could here her footsteps scurrying away." Someone's got a temper." Ella joked. She was enjoying watching him crack." Miss Woods or Miss Ray. Which ever one you believe to be , answer the questions!" Officer Simon's cursed under his breath." I only heard about her on the news. I didn't know her personally. Do you think
" I'm here to represent Mrs Woods!"The words were precise and silence fell upon the room. Officer Simon's stood frozen. He did not expect an attorney to be present in the police station for this lying imposter. He had made sure that she had no access to her cellphone and she wasn't allowed to make her one call.Officer Simon's gained his composure," Go straight through to the boardroom Mrs ? Sorry I didn't get your name." "Mrs Smith." She replied sharply." Alright, Mrs Smith, I will just be putting the prisoner back in her cell. I will be with you in a minute." He stuck the key in the keyhole."I don't think so, officer Simon's. Ella Woods is my client and I would prefer her in the board room with me. She is not a prisoner." Mrs Smith eyes squinted as she stared holes into him."She is guilty." Officer Simon's turned the key." Innocent until proven guilty. I would like to see your proof." Mrs Smith shut the gate firmly. The swift movement made officer Simon's jump.He had taken he
I snuck into the house, like a thief, making sure not to awaken my mother. She did not know that I had snuck out just hours ago. I looked at the silver clock above the arch , it was already 5am.Jumping straight into the shower I scrubbed myself until the skin broke and droplets of blood oozed out. The pain from the bruising could not compare to the pain o felt inside.I dressed in my pajamas and headed straight for bed. Drawing the blinds shut, I drifted into a dreamless sleep.3months later.I spent three months of my life crying. Who would want a pregnant ,tainted woman like myself. I was spiralling down into a deep dark place. If it was not for the baby I carried in my womb, I would have ended my life.It broke my mother's heart when I finally found the courage within me to tell her the truth.I never went back to the mansion after that day. My mother,being a single parent was like a superhero but I felt the depth of her wound. She blamed herself for my misfortune." I have made
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but aunt Tess's words were still swimming in my head. This is a game changer for Seth. I am a Luna. He thought he could break my heart and get away with it but he can't . I won't let him. He will regret the day he had left me. Vengeance crept into my heart. I did not know how I was going to make him pay, but I was going to." Breakfast is ready," I heard aunt Tess's jovial voice from the dining hall.I was barely even dressed, I hurried as fast as I could almost tripping over my own feet."You should be careful. I don't want you getting hurt now.""Sorry aunt Tess." I said as I sat at the table .Taking a slice of toast I coated it with strawberry jam. Today was the first day that I actually felt hungry. I was starving. After three months of morning sickness I was now feeling like myself.We arrived at the coffee shop and it wasn't as little as aunt Tess has said, it was the total opposite.She gave me the grand tour and showed me how to work the ma
"Wow, look at your face." Tyler clapped and laughed loudly." Can't I make a joke. Is it only you who can be humourous?"I didn't know why I was surprised. I shouldn't have cared if he was angry , but somehow I did." So, you aren't upset that I am pregnant?""Of course not Ella. I had known the very first day I met you."I wondered how, I knew only a male wolf would smell my pregnant scent but he was a man." But how?""Your aunt Tess." Tyler smiled.Silly me, how could I possibly think this kind man was a wolf. He was too plain and simple. He smelled of fresh lavender and sunshine. Every possible way a human male smelt and behaved." To be honest, Ella, I really like you. You make the most putrid tasting coffee but I will still drink it."I burst into laughter," my coffee is horrible but you still want to drink it? Why would you possibly want to torture yourself."" Yes. As long as I get to see your pretty face. Anything made by your hand is special."" Tyler, I hate to be a buzz ki
