"My name is Amanda Puth, and I was raised by Puth Furman and his wife Becca. They are my parents."
The voice of Amanda was calm as Gabriel and his wife Paula listened carefully, every single one of them had a lot of questions to ask since the situation was all so complicated. Paula took a closer look at Amanda and noticed she had a scar around her neck, "you must have gotten this from a young age." she was referring to the scar."Yes, I fell from the stairs when I was." Amanda responded quickly."So, where do your parents live? You mind telling us?" Gabriel hoped he didn't ask this too early because Amanda looked not ready for questions."I haven't seen them in about 3 or 4 years." Her response came carelessly, she obviously didn't care about how long she'd been away from those who raised her, and Gabriel could only wonder why."You don't live with them?" Paula asked then noticed some other scars on Amanda's wrist, they looked like she'd hurt herself from being chained. "Oh honey, have you been alright lately? You seem to have a lot of scars and marks." She hoped she wasn't crossing the line."They're scars from childhood." She answered again without looking up from the floor where her eyes were firmly fixed.Paula and Gabriel noticed she was hiding something, there was something she didn't want to talk about, and whatever that was, it's obvious she had been hiding it within herself for a very long time."Who's this Melissa? I was arrested because the cops thought I was her. Who is she?" Amanda was crying, it was one of the worst experiences she'd ever had apart from whatever was really behind the scars on her body. It was hell on earth having to suffer just for looking exactly like someone else. She didn't know she had a twin and she never knew that the couple right in front of her were her real parents."Mellisa is our daughter, when we heard someone was arrested, we thought it was her. But then we found out that it's you so we decided to dig deep into things." Gabriel said."What do you mean dig deep?" She finally managed to raise her head up."Well Amanda, we dug deep and discovered that you and Melissa are not just lookalikes.""What are you trying to say to me?" She could tell where all this was going but she only needed to hear him say everything. But before Gabriel could say a single word, they were told that visiting hours were up and they needed to leave."We'll talk about this next time my child, there's much you need to know about yourself and where you really come from!" The deep voice of Gabriel said as they all stood up to leave."My child? He called me his child? And what did he mean by where I really come from?" Amanda asked herself these questions as she was escorted back by the police.*****The weather was just perfect in the Milburn home as the busy workers walked from one side of the expensive mansion to the other, trying to get on with their daily chores. Ethan Milburn had spent a huge amount of money to get himself one of the most admired mansions in the city and there he was lying so weak on his sick bed as he spoke to his most trusted fellow Mr Arjun Khan."You have to bring him to me as quickly as possible, I don't have much time left and I can't die without seeing my real son." The old man struggled to say the words while lying on his back as Khan sat just beside him with a sorrowful face."I've talked to him several times, but he is still in denial and yes, he is angry with you too.""But... But why Khan?" His throat was dry and he coughed, squeezing his face to the pain in his chest."He's not happy that you left his mum to suffer for so long. He passed through hell right from a very young age, and he's grown up believing he's without a father so he's used to it and doesn't really appreciate you showing up now.""How many young people will be angry at me despite my wealth? A lot of them will bow to such an opportunity, but this man is different, that sounds like something I would do. I like him.""Yes, he appears to have his principles, and he's interesting to talk to.""Get me that young man, get me my son, I want to see him before I leave this world.”*****"My father has already willed most of his properties to that good for nothing guy. Why can't you guys just carry out a very simple task?" The angry voice of John Ethan was something everyone in the Milburn mansion was getting used to. He suddenly developed anger issues after knowing he's only an adopted son and the real one might be coming to take his place very soon.He was speaking to his men in a quiet passage in the mansion and they were confident that no one could hear them. "Look here guys, it's nothing new to you, you've done this before haven't you?" He asked the two men in front of him."Yes Boss." They replied at once."Mc is the only one standing in my way. If you can eliminate that dude, everything that belongs to my father will be mine, and you know what that means right? You guys can have whatever you want.""We know that boss, but that Mc guy, he's really fast and he can fight well." One of them replied."Well don't fight him, just shoot him! That's simple.""We've tried that, he's really smart."John used the back of his hand to clean imaginary sweat from his forehead in frustration, he knew he was running out of time because he didn't know how long it'll take before Mc finally decides to come see his father."Look here guys, look at me, find out exactly where he lives, break into the damn house and pull the trigger to his skull, you got me?""We got you boss, we got you.”

Chapter Fifty-Four
The day finally came, the day they've all been waiting for. The day the city couldn't wait to witness. The day that Mc Ethan, the young billionaire who went from trash to glory would get married to Miriam, the one woman who had given him a reason to become a husband. Their story had been all over the news since videos of Mc proposing spread all over the Internet. “Oh they are so cute together, they'll make a great couple.” A lot of people said. “I heard he married before but the wife didn't love him because he was poor. Now look at him, standing there in the most expensive suit I've ever seen physically. Damn! Oh dear lord forgive me for cursing in church.” A chubby lady said at the back of the church. The grand ballroom sparkled with opulence, chandeliers casting a warm glow over the well-dressed attendees. Mc, nerves and excitement palpable, stood at the altar in his sleek black tuxedo, eagerly awaiting the entrance of the girl he would spend the rest of his life with. Beside him
Chapter Fifty-Three
THREE MONTHS LATER “Three months after her burial and sometimes, I think I see her in my room.” Michael's hand gripped the bottle of wine firmly as he poured it into a glass. “I'm really impressed how you've treated yourself all this while bro. You really took it easy on yourself.”“I loved her so much and had plans for our future. But life had other plans. There's still a long life ahead, Mc. I know that. And thanks for being there for me always. You're the best friend in the world. No cap!”“I'll never leave your side man, you never left me all those years we had nothing, you were there for me. Sometimes I would get in trouble and you always fought for me. Got wounded for me and still stood your ground. Michael, I love you man. You're the real best man right here.”“Best man. Talking about the best man, what are you saying about marriage? You're not tired of being called a boyfriend yet? Ha ha.”“I almost asked Miriam to marry me yesterday.”“Oh man but what happened? Why didn't y
Chapter Fifty-Two
“You are the worst friend that has ever existed in this world Sonia. You claim to be there for me all these years and what do you do? What do you do Sonia? You just go around my back stabbing me.” Melissa's voice was uncontrollable. “I should be honest with you for the first time. You are shit Melissa! You're the worst friend in the world.” A heavy response from Sonia. “What did you say to me?”“You're the worst. Look at us. Look at our friendship. It's just all about you. You never do anything for me, never there for me and you just want all the good stuff but never think I might want them too.”“Are you going straight to the point or you will keep beating around? Tell me what's in your dirty mind, Sonia.”“Did you think I will ever forgive you for the selfish things you've done to me? All the way back to highschool? My life with you has been all about you taking things away from me. Now I'm having my revenge.”“What are you talking about? I never take anything away from you, Sonia
Chapter Fifty-One
“Have you heard that Mc Ethan and his friends are back from Paris?” Melissa's mother asked, steering the hot pot on the new gas they got from the money Mc helped them out with months ago. “No I haven't, last time I checked they were still in France after being arrested.” Melissa adjusted in the chair she sat. Fatigue was now part of her and she experienced frequent headaches, something that was said to be as a result of her pregnancy. “Yeah, but they have been released after the real killer was found and arrested right here.”“Right here in the country? How could someone die in France and the Killer will be right here?”“My God, have you been listening to the news lately? You're all lost Melissa. All you watch is Tiktok.”“Could you not criticise me and just update me? And besides I watch more YouTube shorts, not Tiktok.”“It was Alexa, Michael's girlfriend. She took a man's life in France and that's why she left her boyfriend and Mc there. She came back and maybe she hoped she cou
Chapter Fifty
The time finally came, Alexa was close to running away. She looked around the bustling airport, surrounded by the hum of chatter, the scent of coffee, and the distant announcements of departing flights.“Please Lord, please…!” She begged for luck. She could only pray that nothing went wrong. “I didn't mean to kill that man. I didn't mean to do it. He harrased me sexually and I kept hitting him out of fear. But who would hear me out? Who would believe me now? All they would say is that I'm a murderer. Oh my God!” She spoke to herself. Her suspicion of the authorities knowing her moves and trying to stop her were proven by a sudden announcement reverberated through the terminal. The authoritative voice over the intercom declared "The airport authorities have been notified that an individual with the name 'Alexa Chamberlain’ is currently under suspicion. We caution against allowing this person to board any flights. Security personnel, please be vigilant and take appropriate measures. Th
Chapter Forty-Nine
The early hours of the morning finally arrived and Alexa was exhausted having spent the whole night moaning during lesbian sex with her friend Lucy. They had been touching each other almost every day since their first unplanned intercourse and it slowly became normal. Alexa tiptoed through the room, careful not to wake Lucy who was still sleeping from ecstasy-exhaustion. The early morning light cast a glow on the scattered clothes and hushed whispers of the night before.“I need some coffee. I definitely need something hot.” She said to herself making her way to the kitchen. As she walked staggering, the TV caught her attention, and her heart sank at the breaking news.“What the hell?”On the screen, the news anchor reported the arrest of her boyfriend Michael, Mc Ethan the billionaire and his girlfriend Miriam in Paris, the images showing flashing police lights and a sense of chaos. Shock and confusion set in, and Alexa's hands trembled as she clutched the coffee mug.“Oh no! My sec
