Huh?" Bella got a bit confused. "You asked a question, I answered it, you are welcome" Mia pointed her index fingers upwards and bent it towards herself. "Oh, it was a rhetorical question." Mia looked down in disappointment after she noticed the way Grace and Juliet stared at her. "I guess I will leave you girls to handle your own problems. Bye Mia" Bella waved Mia bye. "Bye" innocent Mia replied. "Seriously Mia, can't you tell the difference between when you are supposed to talk and when you aren't"

Twins love Chapter 1 Hurtful deceit

Backstage

" I really don't understand her at all. She was the one that was so excited about everything yet she is nowhere to be found, what are going to do now?. It would look like we completely chickened out of the competition if we didn't perform today.'' Disappointed Grace buried her head in her palms as she sat on the chair in front of the mirror.

Bella stood from a distance watching them and enjoying the torture, but she wasn't satisfied just yet. She wanted to rub more salt on their wounds, she felt like it was a necessity.

"What's wrong?" Bella walked over to the girls and asked slowly, pretending as if she cared.

"We cannot find Lakshmi, it is a predicament because we need her if not the girls won't be able to perform" innocent Mia quickly blurted out.

Bella scoffed at how innocent Mia really could be, she just smiled and looked at Juliet.

"I'm so sorry you are in such a dilemma. At least she could have told you that she would be ditching you girls rather than leaving you to face this kind of shame.

I suggest you quickly go and whisper to the organizers that you want to cancel , if not they will call you guys out and what will happen then if you are unable to perform?" Bella was trying her best to mock them in a false kind of care. It was really very painful for both Juliet and Grace.

"Then they will be disqualified," Mia answered.

"Huh?" Bella got a bit confused.

"You asked a question, I answered it, you are welcome" Mia pointed her index fingers upwards and bent it towards herself.

"Oh, it was a rhetorical question." Mia looked down in disappointment after she noticed the way Grace and Juliet stared at her.

"I guess I will leave you girls to handle your own problems. Bye Mia" Bella waved Mia bye.

"Bye" innocent Mia replied.

"Seriously Mia, can't you tell the difference between when you are supposed to talk and when you aren't" Grace's eyes were widened, although she wasn't too shocked about Mia's behavior. From the little time she had spent with her, she had gone to know about Mia's rare condition.

"Grace, you have to forget that. We need to think of how we can get a hold of Lakshmi or at least get out of this mess" Juliet drew Grace's attention.

"So we should go with Bella's idea?" grace suggested

"No, that is not an option, we have to go find her now before the competition starts. It might be that she is in some kind of trouble, Lakshmi wouldn't just leave us like this" juliet was trying to be realistic and hopeful.

It was too late, they had officially started the competition and the first performers were already on stage but the girls weren't ready to back down yet. They began their search for Lakshmi but for some reason they didn't check the janitor's closet.

Mia remembered her father's words and wondered if she could call on him now, would he answer?. She shrugged and felt like there was no harm in trying so she went to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror as her father had instructed her to do previously.

"Dad" she called out but she didn't get a reply, she was going to give up but then she heard a voice.

"Yes Mia darling, what is it you want!" Her father spoke to her, she looked at the mirror and saw his reflection

"Dad.. Lakshmi" Mia didn't even finish her sentence when her dad interrupted her.

"You can't find Lakshmi right?" Her dad smiled and the way he smiled clearly told Mia that he knew where she was.

"Yes, can you please tell me where she is? She has worked so hard for this competition, I don't want her to lose before she even tries" Mia was trying to plead with her father.

"I know where she is Mia but unfortunately I cannot tell you where she is right now" her father immediately declined her request, Mia was more than sad.

" You will find her at the right time. Just keep your heart open and listen to it" her father advised her but she didn't clearly understand what he meant by keeping her heart open, was he expecting her to rip her chest open and bring out her heart? Mia always had funny thoughts and her dad could hear her thoughts loud and clear.

"That is not what I meant Mia but you will understand what I mean when the time is right. Take care of yourself, I have to go now and don't forget to listen to your heart" with those words his reflection completely vanished from the mirror. Mia quickly left the bathroom as she knew that staying in there any longer would be of no use to her.

"Who were you talking to?" Grace asked Mia who had bumped into her as she was coming out of the bathroom. Mia kept on looking at random things, she couldn't fix her eyes at a place, she couldn't lie as well, she doesn't know how to lie due to her condition.

"Did you find Lakshmi?" Juliet ran towards the ladies and they gave her a no as the answer. She leaned on the wall, she had lost all hope.

Not just her but Grace as well they didn't want to miss the entire competition, they felt like they at least had to go watch other performers if they were unable to perform themselves.

They had announced for Lakshmi's team named "unique" to come out and perform but since no one came out, they skipped them and other performers came on stage.

The competition was almost over, the last team to perform was "fire" Bella's team. They had performed so well that they scored 26 out of 30 which was the highest mark so far, it was obvious that they were going to win if they had enough support from the Audience as well.

Because the audience were to vote and their votes carried a total of 20 marks which was to be added to whatever the participants would score to get a total of 50 marks.

Although participants got to find out on the day of the competition, Bella had been aware of that fact since her dad was one of the organizers of the competition, he was a shareholder in the school and that's why she had been performing in front of her school mates throughout their practical weeks.

Grace and Juliet lowered their heads in disappointment, they had lost already.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
