After some time, the three of us made it to my parents' mansion and Kira pushed the front door open. She walked in and I followed her in while Gregory followed behind me.
"Go wait in your car." Kira said to Gregory.
Gregory left and it was just I and Kira inside.
A maid came to us.
"Good day." the maid greeted both I and Kira.
"Where is Mr and Mrs Donaldson?" Kira asked the maid.
The maid was surprised to hear that from Kira when she was actually expecting to be asked where mom and dad are.
"They are out working ma'am." the maid replied.
"Go." Kira ordered and the maid left our presence.
Kira brought out her phone and dialed a number with it. She placed the phone on her ear and waited while pacing left and right.
I decided to just sit down. After all, what else is left for me?
Kira removes the phone from her ear and dials again before placing it back. This happens two more times and Kira was looking so furious.
Suddenly, she trashes the phone on the ground and runs both hands through her hair while making a frustrated face.
"Damn it!" She shouts.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" She shouts again.
"I guess we'll just have to wait to when your parents' work time is over and they return.
Kira the sits on a sofa opposite where I was.
"Ugh!" Kira exclaims.
I couldn't help but worry. I was worrying about my daughter Mirabella. If indeed the hypnotism wears off then definitely Charles' must have already warn off and he would have been wondering who's baby he was letting to live in his house.
But then I haven't heard any such bad news from Charles' home. Or could it be that Charles wasn't one of the hypnotized men?
I was indeed told that he was my husband. Kira was only covering for me while I was unconscious. Thank goodness. At least now I'm sure my daughter won't be put into any harm.
Now I can't help but think about Kris. My heart is completely shattered from knowing that he was only hypnotized the entire time.
I really thought... I really did feel that he loved me. I had real feelings for him but then... His reciprocating it was only a spell from my step sister.
But no... I could see it in his eyes even after he got hurt saving me. It couldn't be possible that Kira still kept hypnotizing him till the end could it?
I really don't know what to think right now. I am so confused.
"And what do you think you are doing?" Kira asked me.
I had been pulling on my hair while my elbows were placed on my laps and my head on my palms.
"Nothing." I answered.
Kira just kept quiet and waited as she was doing before.
It got late into the night and my parents still hadn't returned.
"Go to your room." Kira said.
"Go to your room! Are you deaf?! Sheesh!" she shouted.
"Okay." I said and got up from the sofa which I had been sitting on.
I went to my room and stayed in bed till I fell asleep.
... The next morning...
I was woken up by screams that seemed to be coming from the living room.
I hurried jumped off my bed and rushed downstairs to see what was happening.
I saw both my mom and dad standing opposite Kira while she screamed.
This was my chance to escape, I thought. But then I had a feeling that I should stay back. I didn't know why but I had that feeling and so I did as I felt I should and stayed back.
Kira was holding on to her head and screaming, half bent towards the ground. I had no clue what was happening and I wasn't ready to ask my parents anything talk less of speaking to those two heartless people.
Kira POV
...Flashback...
I woke up and looked around. I was in a room. The room had other beds in it and not just one.
On those beds were scattered clothes and toys of some sort.
I had no clue how I got there or what our was doing there at all. After standing up I felt very dizzy and could hardly balance on my two feet.
I managed to reach the door to the room and I opened it only to find children that looked my age running about.
I saw a lady passing by and I noticed a symbol on her cloth.
That was the same orphanage I was raised in...
... Flashback ends...
"Ahh! Why is this always happening?! My head hurts.
... Flashback...
" I want ice cream mommy."I said, looking at the blurred out face of a woman.
... Flashback ends...
"Ahhhhh!" I screamed again. My head was aching so badly.
... Flashback starts again...
"Where is the duplicate?" a man asked.
Now it's clear... Now... It's all clear!...
I looked at the couples face again and this time it was clear. Clearer than it can ever be...
Mr and Mrs Donaldson were my parents and they had me cloned at a young age.
... Flashback ends...
"You... You two!" I shouted, pointing at Mr and Mrs Donaldson.
"Why?! Why?! Why?!" I yelled and cried at the same time.
I just couldn't get the words out.
How could my own parents do this to me? How could Mr and Mrs Donaldson actually be my parents and pick a duplicate over me? What sort of memories are these?
All these, I asked myself and cried the more.
"What nonsense is going on? Why are you acting like a mad person in my..." Mr Donaldson was going to speak but I cut him off.
"Shut up! Just... Shut up! How could you two heartless people do this to me?!" I yelled at them.
"Your own daughter!" I added.
Mr and Mrs Donaldson froze on hearing my words and Kendra, who I didn't even know was there, gasped.
"Yes. You all heard me right. Now I know the truth!" I said.
