Chapter 118
As Brylee gazed up at him, her eyes were bloodshot red. “You want me to… imitate her?” When Sasha saw that she looked upset and confused, she went over and sat down on the couch next to her so that she could console her.’ ‘I’m aware that you don’t like your sister, and that you think poorly of her, sweetheart. However, it cannot be denied that she has successfully won Sebastian’s heart at this point. Regardless of whether or not she actually resembles Claire, you can’t deny the fact that she has relied on this to get close to him…” Brylee’s lips began to quiver, and it appeared as though she was on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. “But she approached him with my face…” she said helplessly. “Why should I imitate her now?” If Sasha hadn’t been so insistent that she cut her hair, she never would have done it on her own. “Brylee…” Sasha clenched her teeth and raked her fingers through her short hair. “With your hair cut so short, no one else would ever be able to recognize who you are, but why doesn’t he care about you even now? Why does he continue to pay you no attention?” Brylee was taken aback all of a sudden and was speechless as she realized what Sasha was trying to tell her. She and Celine were identical in every respect. Even the way they styled their hair was the same at this point. But still, why wasn’t he interested in her at all? “Because your character and demeanor are too different from Celine… and that answered the question that was running in her mind. “You probably are aware of the fact that she’s quite comparable to Claire. Why is it that you can’t be more like her as well? Don’t lose sight of the fact that you carry her heart in you. You should be able to reach Sebastian’s heart way easier than she did, right?” 5/6 . As Brylee became increasingly absorbed in her thoughts, she lapsed
into complete stillness. 6/0 KILL HER AUTHOR’S POV Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Why would you make her do something that she doesn’t like?” Allen was continuing his efforts to prevent his parents from manipulating Brylee’s life. “Wouldn’t it be simpler if I got someone else to kill Celine instead, so that you don’t have to worry anymore?” “You shut up!” Sasha gave her son a menacing look and pointed her finger aggressively in his direction. “Can’t you see that she’s now Mrs. Anderson? The moment she emerged from their villa, all eyes would be on her and she would be the center of attention. Don’t even bring up the idea of killing her, because the moment you come within a few feet of her, there’s a chance that the reporters will start snapping pictures of you! Are you trying to help Brylee, or do you wish to cause her additional suffering?” “So… we’d just let her go like this, while leaving Brylee with grievances?!” As he stared at his mother, he couldn’t help but wear a frown. “That’s why the outcome will be determined by the abilities of your sister!” she responded, the veins in her neck were furious too. “Brylee, you have to give me your full attention. If there’s something you desire, you have to be willing to pay the entire price for it, even if it means you’ll end up in a lot of pain. As long as it’s obtainable, then everything will be worth it. Do you understand…?” There was silence from Julio. He simply gazed at Brylee, waiting for her reaction to what his wife had just shared with her, and the following words that his daughter spoke caused him to break out in a broad grin. “Dad… Mom… I’m going to the countryside tomorrow…” 16
“Good!” those words were exactly what her father had been hoping to hear from her. Brylee, going to the place where Celine had grown up, and spending her childhood was the best idea they had planned. “I’ve already made all of the necessary preparations over there, and I’ve even acquired the house so that you can use your identity as Celine Lauren to explore everything that’s going on over there. I have no doubt in my mind that you will take on the role of your sister by the time you get back to the city!” Brylee was greeted with a warm smile from Sasha, who then approached her and embraced her tightly. “Brylee, you amaze me with your intelligence. If you put your mind to it, I have no doubt that you could master it. However, before you head out to the countryside, allow me to take you to a place to complete our plan!” “W-what do you mean, mom? Where are we going?” She asked in bewilderment. “We’re going to get you a tattoo!” In order for her to accomplish the task, it was necessary for her to get a birthmark that was an exact match for the one that Celine had on her neck. And the only way for her to have this was to get a tattoo. “Since you aspire to be like her, you will need to imitate everything that she possesses!” Brylee was overcome with emotion as she considered the sacrifices she would have to make for her twin sister, and she was unable to stop herself from clenching her fists as she hugged her stepmother. Celine took everything that was rightfully hers, and she was determined to get it all back by any means necessary! CELINE’s POV Sebastian drove the car to the top of the mountain and I frowned as I looked around, checking on my surroundings while he was unfastening his seatbelt.
“Where are we?” I inquired, but my attention was drawn to something outside the vehicle at the time. “Why don’t you just drive me back to the house?” “We’ll go back home once you see this…” he remarked, before he opened the door and stepped out of the car. He came around to my side and opened the door for me, but I didn’t move from my seat as I went through the motions. “Come on…” his face was calm and patient as he extended his hand to me to take. “I promise, we’re not going to take too much time…” My gaze fell on his hand, which was extended and waiting for me to accept, and then my eyes flitted back up to his face, which had an optimistic expression on it and clearly indicated that he wouldn’t give up until he had accomplished what he set out to do. I heaved a sigh as I unbuckled myself from my seatbelt and proceeded to brush his hand off of mine before exiting the car. Sebastian responded to my gesture by shrugging his shoulders, but he held the small of my back as he guided me up the grassy path that led us directly to the peak of the mountain. Even though today was relatively warm, it was unquestionably on the cool side up on this hill. I felt Sebastian place his coat on my shoulder, and then his arm came after it; however, I shook his arm off me. “I’m not cold, Sebastian…,” I whined, since I didn’t want to make physical contact with him. Now that there was only the two of us here, I couldn’t simply let him do whatever he wanted to do; but, if he 3/6 were to do this in front of other people, I was sure that I’d just let him. “I’m cold…” he whispered in my ear while he encircled his arms around me from behind. “Let me warm up first, please…?” I was stunned for a while, before I decided to let him bury his face in the crook of my neck while his
arms wrapped around my body for a moment, his warm breath fanning on my skin causing me to shiver. After waiting for a full minute… he finally broke away from me and took hold of my hand. He led me through the verdant woods and we emerged onto a level area not long after. The night vision of the entire city flashed before my eyes in an instant, and I couldn’t help but let out a gasp of amazement when I caught sight of the city’s glittering golden lights, which appeared to be sca ttered across the ground like stars. The fact that the blue sea could be seen plainly beneath the starlight was probably the most breathtaking aspect of the scene. I was taken aback and my jaw dropped open in excitement. It was the first time that I had ever witnessed a night view of the city that was so breathtakingly beautiful. My heart was filled with conflicting emotions for a brief moment. “No matter what kind of mood I was in, I always found myself drawn back here. Because whenever I look out at this breathtaking panorama, I don’t feel the need to be afraid of all the troubles that lie ahead…” he said in a tone that was soft and especially pleasing. I maintained my silence while biting the inside of my lips, and although my eyes were filled with tears, it appeared as though there were ice blocks that had thawed and were about to run out of my eyes at any minute. “What’s the matter…?” Sebastian asked me this with a concerned ” tone in his voice, as he could tell that something was amiss with me.
