When the doctor arrived, he sent everyone out. Kim ran to her room. Nessa and
Ivy too followed her. Joshua gave Kevin, Savvy and Adele a cold glare. Kevin didn't
care nor did Savvy but Adele shuddered. The doctor came out shortly to announce
that Mavis was awake and want to see her grandchildren only. Joshua left to call
them.
Ivy locked the door as Mavis instructed. They all sat at her bedside and she began.
"Kim, I told you the story of Leo. I got to how I gave birth to Joshua. But I will start
from Kingsley and I". Kim nodded and she continued "Kingsley did the preparation
with Leo and I. With time, we became good friends since we agreed on a lot of
things. Leo was always at his mom's family. The Ortegas were the most influential
at the time. Since Kingsley's mom was different, he never went there. His mom
died while giving birth to him and the current Mrs. Martinez was a widow so Mr.
Martinez married her. Leo was also not father in-law's son".
"Since we spent time together, we fell in love with each other and on the wedding
day, I eloped with Kingsley to get married, leaving Leo at the altar. He became a
laughingstock and what broke Mrs. Martinez got angry when Mr. Martinez accepted
us. She left to her family and in no time at all they made Martinez enterprise go
bankrupt. This caused Mr. Martinez a heart attack he couldn't pull through so died.
Kingsley vowed to raise Martinez Enterprise high again.
On the day of his father's crematorium, Leo and his mom came there, making
Kingsley go berserk. He disgraced and blamed them for his dad's death. It was at
this point that Leo vowed to marry my lookalike.
Few months later, he appeared out of nowhere with my replica. Though she was
my carbon copy, she was so different in personality, she was shy and he claimed
that's what he wanted, he told the world I was a drunkard but I ignored it.
I watched Kingsley thrive to make Marts Group great, I tried to help but he refused
because I was pregnant. On the day of the launch, I also gave birth to Joshua. The
next day, it was announced that my lookalike whose name was Alice had also given
birth to a baby boy.
A year after, Joshua's first birthday was being celebrated when Kingsley had a
message which say "save me please!". He tracked the phone and was leaving when
I stopped him but he refused. I felt restless all night until he returned the next
morning with a boy of Joshua's age. I broke down thinking he had a mistress but
he explained that it was Alice's son and that I should promise to take care of him
like my own. He also said Leo killed Alice but he will be arrested for it.
He was arrested and all evidences pointed to him so he was electrocuted. I vowed
to avenge his death. We became a laughingstock but I cover everything up by
doing more humanitarian works. Please Kim, marry Leo so we can make him pay
for his sins". After she finished, everyone had tears in their eyes. Vanessa was the
first to break the silence. "But you don't have to use Kim, you just said he killed
Alice. What if Kim becomes his next victim?" "I will do it" Kim said with confidence and determination. Mavis then told the family to prepare for the engagement.
