A while later, the doctor came home. He ran some checks on her and thankfully all he said was that mom needed some rest. I walked him to the door and the second his car drives out, I stormed into fake Tori's room and dragged her out. "Get out?". She takes a stunning look at me. "Sis, can I explain?". Her calling me got me annoyed. I turned back and in a fit of rage slapped her. Tori holds her cheeks dazed by my attitude. "Seriously?. Should I go?". ( She says waiting for my response) In return, I affirmed, "yes!! Get out?". She nods and the second I took a new turn up to mom's room, she airs out another shocking truth. "I know where your sister is?". Heeding to that my feet froze. "Excuse me?", I said. "Yes!!! I know where your sister is, Tori isn't dead but I'll help you under one condition". Tori's look-alike gave me an ultimatum, and as much as I wouldn't want to oblige her request, my sister's life was in danger. So after weighing both options, I said."tell me, what do you want?". Tori's look-alike smiled at my response. She runs her head back to infer if anyone was coming downstairs and when no one did. She lets out to me. "Lisa, I need you to pay me in exchange for your sister's whereabouts, and don't worry, I wouldn't lie to you". I thought carefully before responding to her. "Fine, how much do you need?". Although paying an imposter like her, isn't my best option but saving Tori's life is what I should think of. Tori's look-alike took up another chance and said. "In exchange for your sister's life, you need to pay me the sum of $50000, and if you do I'll give you the direction your sister is". "What, $50000?". It's absurd to think I could get such money and abruptly the fact that I'm the daughter of a wealthy family and the wife to billionaire Alvin Fisher, getting such an amount of money will entire send my company into bankruptcy and cause a lot of suspicions, I don't think Alvin would want to get involved in such a risky deal. But what choice do I have, my sister's life is in danger and I do think that if Tori's lookalike is willing, to tell the truth, maybe I can be able to use her and get Bryan to pay for his crime's? "Fine?, I'll send the morning tomorrow but you'll have to take me to her tomorrow?". I needed everything to be done fast and very quickly, any mistake or evil eyes who accidentally gets a hold of this information all hell might break loose. "OKAY then", she accepted and went back to her room. I looked up and prayed to God, deep down ending this drama once and for all is all I desire, at least with everything I've been through, Lisa's heart deserves her happily ever after, don't y'all think. ( Frowns) ∆∆∆∆ THE NEXT MORNING∆∆∆ I got up early after returning home late, Alvin interrogated me but I refused to tell him the truth. He watched me run down the stairs in a hurry like I was being followed. "Lisa, are you okay?". Yet again, the suspicious look on his face got me lying to him. "I'm fine, Just that mom asked me to come to meet her this morning". I kept up the pace and left him looking confused. At the same time, Tonia strode in and saw me driving out in a rush. "What happened?" She ashed out to Alvin. As planned, Tori's look-alike met me outside the shores of the city. She had a smile on her face, after seeing me with the money asked for. She pulled out her hands to take it, but I withdrew asking what her own said of the deal. "Where's my sister?.". She falls a frown and said. "Come with me". "Where?", I asked being suspicious, she veers and motioned once again. Although I don't want to, I've got no other option. So I went with her to an old cottage which was a few miles away from where we were. "She's inside?". Tori's lookalike said and narrowed her eyes down to the bag full of money. I tossed the bag to her and ran in to meet her. Unfortunately, my feet got forced to stop the second a gun was fired. I turned and drips a stunned demeanor, seeing Tori's lookalike killed by a strange bullet. I looked around but couldn't see anyone, who would have done such and why?. Abruptly that wasn't the way I came, I finally got a chance to go inside the cottage, in hopes to see Tori but rather I met a letter placed on a wooden chair. "Oops, did you think I'll give your sister to you so soon?". The letter reads. It would seem that Tori's lookalike played me or perhaps someone was trying to set me up without my knowledge. Thus following that up, I fled out of the cottage, when the police showed up. They cornered me everywhere and I was held down at gunpoint. ( Loudspeaker) "Mrs. Lisa Fisher, you're under arrest for the death of your sister, Tori's heart?". That was indeed absurd. Why would I kill my sister, I said when my eyes wandered off to see Tori's lookalike on the ground. It explains why they think I killed my sister, which on the contrary, the one killed his only but a lookalike, and I ain't gonna wait until Bryan finally destroys my life. ( Frowns) °°°°°°°°°°° The news of billionaire Alvin Fisher's wife blamed them for murdering her sister. Mom and Alvin heard what happened and came to see me. "Lisa, what happened?". Alvin's voice wasn't pleasing to hear, he gets all angered and mom walked in souring his attention away from me to her. She tells the truth, and to his surprise, he returned to me asking, "why didn't you tell me?". That was a question I had no answer to, but seeing how much trouble I was, mom kept on answering his question. Threading on the same issue, Alvin left without even saying goodbye. Mom looked at me. "He will be back?", She faked a smile and in return, I reciprocated pleading for her help. Meanwhile, Alvin got home in a fit of rage. Toni saw him ambling in and thought of using my absence as a medium to get closer to him. Alvin stepped in, his mind wasn't aware that Tonia was about to fake an accident, she purposely tripped and rolled down the stairs. And upon seeing that, he rushed to her aid and placed her hand on his lap, anxiously rubbing her hair. "Tonia, are you okay?" He asks holding her hand. The drama queen swiftly opened her eyes. She moaned softly and faked having a concourtion. "Urgh, I think I'm fine, what happened?". She said. "You accidentally lost your step and rolled down the stairs, are you okay do you want me to call the doctor?". ( Alvin made known but she declined his offer, asking him to take her up to her room). And Alvin being all gentlemanly carried Tonia up to her bedroom. He placed her on her bed and takes a new turn to flee, rather she held his wrist whiskering his attention back to her gaze. "What?". The odd tension was broken the minute Alvin said that. Tonia acted like a bitch and swing her hands to his face, she says and I quote, "Mr. Fisher, how about we get up on old times"... Her words triggered a negative response from him, he pushed her hands away from his face and warned. "Tonia, I know that we're good friends but don't you ever try this stunt again, or else you'll be sorry". ( Gets up and left) Tonia angrily throws her bedsheets away, she folds her hands in the same state, cooking something evil in her mind. ( End Chapter)
