"Look young lady !
I know you find it difficult to digest all these but then I adopted you because I wanted to replace you with my daughter Monalisa of blessed memory !
Look ,if we put all the police and social services claims aside ,I saw my daughter in you !
She was so full of life and persistent like you !
You asked me why I can't adopt a baby instead right ?
Well ,here's your answer ! ; The baby will take a longer time to replace my daughter but you ,if Monalisa were to be alive ,she'd be seventeen like you are !
Listen ,you have a striking resemblance that I cannot overlook with Monalisa .
My daughter passed away unfortunately when she was six years ago ."Jakes lied one more time ."Oh God ! How many more lies will I have to tell to get her to stay and love me for a little ? "Jakes thought ."Monalisa..umm! Suzzy ,I guess it will take time for me to get used to your actual name .
You look so much like much my daughter that I can't help but see her through you and address you as Monalisa ."Suzzy began wearing a regretful face and Jakes also realized that he had hit her emotions so hard this time ."Sorry sir ,I didn't know about your daughter .
Well ,you can't blame me for my actions .
It was normal since I didn't know you but fine ,if calling me Monalisa gives you peace then you can call me that .
Besides ,I owe you alot ."Suzzy said understandingly ."No Mona,I owe you alot and I promise you that you will never regret accepting me as your dad !"Jakes kowtowed to her level and held her hands ."Monalisa ,under the conditions of your adoption ,you are now a Riddles.
You used to be called Susana Jenkins but henceforth ,you will be called Monalisa Susana Jenkins Riddles ."Jakes laid down her new name to her ."Thanks sir , it's good you didn't take out my original name from the adoption papers ." Suzzy expressed her gratitude ."Sorry sir ,but by accepting to become your adopted daughter ,I know I can get all the access I need to look for my jerk father ."Suzzy thought ."I know ,you want to use this opportunity to look for your dad Suzzy but how do I tell you that you are actually staying with the jerk himself ? "Jakes also thought."At the press conference tonight ,I will tell everyone that you are my daughter .Behave because you know the major reason I adopted you .Here are the documents ,you can look through for your verification and see that everything about your adoption is legal .
Come downstairs thirty minutes from now ."Jakes said and once again left Suzzy in her deepest shock .
"Forgive me Suzzy ,I have to do this .I can't forgive myself for letting your mother go but I will love you till my last breath .
Until you love me and calm down your anger for me ,I won't reveal to you your true identity .
You will continue to be shaded by those fake adoption papers that I made .I'm sorry..."Jakes descended the stairs .
Cold chills run down the spine of Suzzy who was now legally adopted as Monalisa Riddles .
Jakes told his cronies to make fake adoption papers so that Suzzy will believe that she has been adopted .What she doesn't know is that ,Jakes had entitled her to all his assets because legally ,her incomplete documents were completed and she was now his daughter .
"It was just yesterday that I was a cleaner and today ,I had become the adopted daughter of a tycoon. "Suzzy whispered to herself as she felt butterflies in her stomach .
After a tough thought ,she decided to take a bath .
The bathroom was very big ,this used to be the size of her bedroom when she was still staying with her mother in Belton .
But now the size of her bedroom before was her bathroom .Time really changes .
Suzzy was still admiring the bathroom .On her left hand was a door which opened because of her curiosity .It consisted of a mobile shower and a well positioned Jacuzzi .
She looked to the side of the shower which was divided by a frosted glass and saw sets of bathroom robes of different colours lined up on the robes hooks attached to the tiled wall .She looked at her ivory ,yellow , white ,royal ,bottle ,sky ,grey ,navy ,lime ,pink ,surf ,red and black bathrobes with corresponding towels hanged on the robe hooks .
She gave herself a dazzling smile as she passed her fingers on the acrylic wall panels in the bathroom .
Suzzy was a bit shocked when she saw a tinted drawing of Monalisa ; Jakes' assumed daughter on the wall ."Ha ! these rich people are really something . Did he really love his daughter that much to keep her tinted painting on the wall ?
The painting is so nice . Did they make it as part of the acrylic panel wall or what ?
This painting is really nice .Erm! ,no doubt , she does really look like me or I look like her ,sort off...hmm!
She might have a baby face but we have the striking resemblance .
Well ,this is really not surprising .Every human is entitled to a multiple face; dopple ganger but different souls and that's the same in our case Monalisa .
Listen here Mona ,I 'm now taking over your name yet ,I know I can't replace you in your father's heart .
I don't even want to do so but I hope you'd understand that I decided to take up your name so that I can look for my father .
The same man who abandoned my mother and I .
Mona, initially ,I wanted to meet him but now I want to smash his face .I hope you'd understand me !"Suzzy spoke to the painting of Monalisa ;Jakes assumed daughter on the acrylic wall panel .She continued to stare at the painting and passed her fingers on it .
