Further investigation
Alex POV
I texted fake Charlotte I won't be around for the night and she replied okay. Everything about her is just weird. If it was to be Charlotte she would at least ask why I won't be around. I told them what she said after they had dressed up. They will be spending the night in my house because we need to act fast.
"This confirms it more,how she will not know what today is in her life" Jasmine said breaking the silence in the car. We branched at a mall to get the cameras. Josh and I left for the mall but I insisted I want to get a cake to celebrate Charlotte's birthday even though she isn't with us. He left me in the car leaving me behind.
A lady recognized me and screamed my name in excitement before I could stop her attracting others' attention. Reporters were there snapping pictures before I could even blink. I was holding tightly so the cake wouldn't fall down.
"Sir please" they all kept on shouting as my security tried to stop them from touching me but it seemed they were too many for them. Out of frustration,I looked back and gave them a very ingenuine smile.
"Today is ma'am Charlotte's birthday and we can see you got cake. Is she here sir?" One asked and I didn't reply.
"We noticed she doesn't post frequently these days,can you give an explanation on her behalf please?" Another asked. I ignored them all and with the help of the security,I was able to scale through.
"Weldone bro" Josh sided and chuckled and I glared at him. Such an asshole.
"This isn't funny, that was literally like a death sentence" I frowned and this time around they all burst into laughter.
"What,you insisted you wanna get the cake remember?" Jasmine replied smiling and I scoffed. Always on his fiance's side.
"Let's go" Donald ignited the engine and drove to my house.
"Should we enter or just park the car outside?" He asked and I thought for a while.
"I think we should just park it outside to avoid suspicion,she should be asleep by now though" I said. It's past ten already so I think she should be asleep. Donald parked outside and a trusted guard came and imputed the pin to the gate then locked it again after we all had entered. My security men are outside.
We got to the door and it sounded like it was bubbling everywhere.
"It's like she isn't asleep" I told them and inputted the pin. The door opened and we entered gently and hid beside the wall. There are decorations everywhere with Charlotte's pictures on the wall. It was designed like a club and there was loud music playing in the air.
"Is today her birthday also?" I asked, staring at them and they all looked confused.
"Maybe it's Charlotte" Josh shrugged and Jaz hit his head lightly.
"It's not possible" she shouted so we could hear her because of the loud music.
Few minutes later,she came inside looking dazzling and beautiful. She is dressed in a white short gown with lots of design on its chest. She wore a heel and a little touch of makeup with silver earrings. She reduced the music volume and smiled sadly.
"It's my birthday tonight and I promise to try my best to stay happy. No mother nor father to celebrate with. My only wish is that my sister get rescued and escape safe and sound" she cleaned her tears and continued.
"I will stay happy at least not for any day but for tonight,happy birthday to me. '' she said and sang herself a birthday song then increased the volume of the music and started dancing to its rhyme. I'm as confused as hell right now.
" Let's leave here" Jaz demonstrated with her hands and we left the house.
"What's up Jaz?" Donald asked immediately we got to the car.
"We have a lot of riddles to solve and they can only be solved by her but that can wait till tomorrow because she needs to be happy tonight" she explained and he mouthed an oh.
"Thinking about everything,I think the counterfeit Charlotte knows Charlotte is her twin but something is behind Charlotte's abduction. She is sad and also hopes her sister gets rescued so someone is using her sister against her for her to pretend and act like Charlotte" Jasmine said and demonstrated everything.
"Wow babe! You should become a detective"Josh said and she rolled her eyes.
"She is making lots of sense, '' Donald added. I brought out my phone and placed it on the centre table. I videoed the room and Charlotte's twins when we were in the room.
"Pause it" Jasmine said immediately and I obeyed.
"Yes ma'am" I said and the rest laughed except her. She glared at us then stood up in an attempt to leave. We stopped laughing but she still walked away.
"We are sorry" we whined but she is really upset with us. She climbed the stairs and stared at all of us.
"I will find her myself,you guys should go to bed since your brains are tired to think we are joking at a time like this" she said and left.
"Man" Donald said and hit Josh to go bring her. He stood up and left upstairs but she locked the door already.
Charlotte POV
"Happy birthday Charlotte" Damien wished me and I smiled broadly. How come I got my birthday because that's one of the moments I always cherish in my life. He brought the cake forward and told me to blow the candle which I did.
" Make a wish" he said and I closed my eyes.
"Is there anything the birthday lady wants from me?" He said sarcastically and I smiled thinking deeply.
"Yes! a lot. First off,I want to reconcile you to that girl, secondly I want to spend Christmas with Alex, Jaz and my families and my last wish,I want you to change and become the old you…can you do that for me please" I said giving him a puppy eyes and he smiled like he was thinking of something then nodded.
"Pinky promise?" I squealed happily bringing out my fifth finger and he chuckled.
"When you're not a kid,not a promise but I will try" he said.
"Yay…I know you can do this Damien" I said and danced around. I find it hard to dance like when I was in my normal shape to avoid hurting myself or the baby. I have to keep to my promise.
"I wanna call Camilla then we gonna call Alex" Damien said and I stared at him confused.
"My girlfriend" he whispered and I mouthed an ``oh.
Camille POV
I ate the cake I baked and sipped the wine slowly. In all I made myself happy and that's all that matters. I was almost done packing all the decorations when my phone started to ring.
You can't imagine how excited I was when Alex called he won't be around for tonight. I remembered my Birthday last year,I spent my day with my only sister and now she has been abducted by Mrs. Tamara. O checked the caller ID and it was Damien. My heart beat increased and I was contemplating if I should pick the call or not. He kept on calling and I finally summoned courage to pick it.
"Hello" I said with a shaking voice and tried to hold the phone well from falling.
"Chill babe,can you please switch to video call please?" He asked and I blushed. Did Damien hit his head on something hard or the old Damien is back? I tried to calm myself and saw that he was calling again but this time it was a video call.
"Hi" I said and he smiled. He sat beside Charlotte and they both sang birthday songs for me and I blushed so hard.
"Wow…how come we looked so much alike. And it's fantastic we have the same birthdays,can't wait to meet you in person ``Charlotte said sweetly and I smiled.
"Same here" I said shyly. Does she know I use her things? I thought and saw her leaving the room.
"I can see some decorations,Alex celebrated it for you?" He demanded looking jealous. Damien is such a jealous freak just that he always tried hard not to show it.
"We even kissed,he doesn't know I'm Charlotte yet and we will do the rest tonight if you know what I mean" I teased and winked at him.
"And you will also give your body so cheap to him? I trust my baby though. I know you can do such" he said, getting more envious.
"Why not…you said I should avoid whatever can make him start suspecting me remember?" I said and winked at him.
"Alright enjoy your night with him,g" he wanted to say good night but I quickly cut him off.
"It was a joke babe,I promise" I said and laughed and he frowned.
"For real…don't you trust me again?" I said smiling and he smiled back. Damien is a gift. He can tell if someone is lying when he stares into the eyeballs.
"Well Charlotte knows everything already and we both drew out a plan,first plan is to save Giana then getting Mrs. Tamara arrested. I hope the plan works" he said and I felt so elated.
"Thanks so much love. I would love to fall in love with you again if there is an afterlife" I said excitedly and he blushed.
"Don't worry about Alex,we will take care of him" I nodded. We gisted till 1am and laughed really hard till my stomach started hurting me. I had to disconnect the call reluctantly so they could speak with Alex. What more can I ask for? I still have one of the best birthdays ever.
Jasmine POV
I opened the door for Josh when he wouldn't give up on knocking my door.
"What?" I eyed him from head to toe and he sighed.
"I'm sorry…I mean we are sorry" he said pleadingly and I scoffed almost closing the door again but he stopped me, opened the door widely and entered. I was ready to sleep and was in my nightie. He looked back staring at me and his eyes roamed my body from head to toe. He quickly looked away but another seconds,stared at me again. I bit my lips from screaming when I saw the bulge in his trouser.
"Argh! Stop doing that" he groaned and I stared at him confused.
"Huh,doing what?" I bit my lips nervously. He still kept his gaze on my body. I'm damn nervous right now. How will I chase him out now?
"You ain't helping the matter at allbabe,all that you're doing is just getting me turned on" he groaned frustratedly and I felt a little embarrassed so I covered my face. What to do,what to do Jaz. My subconscious rang in my head. I walked up to him and tried pushing him out.
"I told you not to come in in the first place but you insisted and entered. Just get out of my room" I said trying to hide my red cheeks from him. He held me by my waist and now I'm trapped.
T.B.C
Will their plan walk out well?
Who can't wait for Charlotte's call with Alex and the rest?
