Dami looked away from Happy and turned to Ava.
Well I….I..I kind of forgot it, Dami said.
But you never forget about that, Everytime you see it, you always avoid it. Even Kimberly knows that, she once tried to hurt you because with it, Ava said.
I’ve been going through a lot lately, so it escaped my memory, Dami said.
That’s really weird, but it happens anyway, Ava mumbled.
I need to use the restroom, I will be back in a minute, Dami said.
Ava nodded but Happy didn’t say anything, Wh@tëver!!!!!!!.

Krystal threw pushed the things on the table to the ground angrily.
How can you say you couldn’t find her!!, she screamed.
She had asked one of her guard to follow Pablo but he came back after some days reporting that he saw nothing.
I monitored him but I didn’t find anything suspicious.
He only goes to a restaurant, market and other normal areas, there was nothing suspicious, the guard said.
Get out you useless fool, I should never have called you!!!, Krystal snapped.
I am so sorry ma’am, he said.
Get out!!!!, Krystal screamed. He bowed before leaving.
Krystal sat down breathing heavily.
I will have to swallow my pride and call him, I have to find my daughter and get my family back, she said to herself
Then she picked up her phone and dialed Pablo’s number.
I just knew you would call me today, Pablo said immediately he picked the call.
Shut up and tell me where my daughter is, Krystal snapped.
Calm down and talk nicely, I am the one with the upper hand, he said.
How am I even sure you are really with my daughter?, send a picture of her first, she said.
Do you really think I am stupid??, Pablo asked.
Why should I trust you then!!!, Krystal yelled.
Are you really in a position to say that?? Remember you tried to kill me, who knows if I might actually kill her for real this time, Pablo said.
You bastard!!!, Krystal screamed
Did you really think I forgot that???. You Fuçking killed me to cover up your dirty sins. My only guilt was that I knew too much and unfortunately I wasn’t the only one you harmed.
You also killed Julianna, forgetting that she was also a mother to a young kid. You made a six year old kid motherless and you didn’t even feel guilty.
So what if I kill your daughter?. Then you will feel the pain the second time, he snapped.
Don’t you dare touch my daughter!!!, Krystal growled.
You must beg, Krystal. You must beg for your daughter’s life, You must grovel and beg.
Till then bye, He said and ended the call.
Ahhhhhhh that’s bastard!!!!!!!!!!

You kept me waiting, Chelsea said immediately Dami sat down.
Dami rolled her eyes.
I already ordered 2 bowls of ice cream while waiting, you should pay for it, Chelsea told her.
The both of them were currently in a restaurant, There were not much people there and the few people there were minding their business.
Are you Elsa??, Dami asked.
What does Elsa have to do with me having ice cream?, Chelsea asked. Dami rolled her eyes.
Well then, why did you ask me to come there?. I remember you telling me not to go outside with Ryan, Chelsea said.
Well that… Are you allergic to nut?, Dami asked.
Chelsea scrunched her face immediately.
The word alone is enough for me to throw up, I h@të that thing, and i am seriously allergic to it, Chelsea said.
Then why didn’t you tell me since, I almost let the cat out of the bag, Dami snapped.
What do you mean?, Chelsea asked.
Nothing, don’t bother, Dami replied and sighed.
Is that why you called me here?, Chelsea asked.
I saw that old woman, Dami said
Granny??, Chelsea asked.
No the woman you met few months ago, she is probably responsible for our switch, Dami said. Chelsea gasped.
What did she say??, she asked.
Well she talked about us re-switching under a red moon, Dami said.
Red moon?, is there anything like that??, Chelsea asked.
Obviously not, it was my first time hearing that, Dami replied.
Doesn’t it mean re-switching is impossible because there is no red moon, Chelsea said.
She also talked said that “A snake can only change skin when it wants to”, and then she talked about flowers but I don’t understand anything she said, Dami said.
Chelsea sighed.
I wanted to tell you that, I am leaving Dami said and stood up.
Wait!!!! You have to pay for the ice cream too, and some more I want to take it home, Chelsea said.
Dami brought out a card from her bag and threw it on the table.
Now you are a good girl, Chelsea grinned. Dami rolled her eyes and walked away but as she got to the door, something flashed into her memory.
She froze.
The word “I want” to rang in her head.
Don’t tell me………
She turned around and went back to the table
What’s wrong?, why did you come back?Chelsea asked.
You knew right?, Dami mumbled.
Knew what?, Chelsea asked.
The snake that changed it’s skin it’s you right?, Dami asked.
What do you mean?, Chelsea asked.
Dami banged the table furiously.
Stop acting ignorant!!, you made her switch us right!!, Dami yelled.
What do you mean?. Why would I do such a thing?, Chelsea asked.
Of course there are so many reasons for you to do that!!, You were the culprit all along but you kept quiet? You knew how I wanted to leave your body!!, Dami snapped
It’s not that……..
Shut up and say the truth!!!, I am giving you the last chance, Dami growled.
Chelsea bowed her head silently.
Wow I guess I was right. That’s means you have been lying to me all along right?, Dami asked.
No look it’s not like that, I didn’t lie. I didn’t even know it will result to this, Chelsea said.
What happened was………….
° Flashback °
After the whole drama with Kimberly and Graham.
I received a call from my mum, of course I knew what was going to happen, she would yell at me and side with Kimberly as usual.
I felt it was too much and I couldn’t bear it anymore so i thought of ending my life.
I went to a bridge with the intention of jumping in but as i got to there, I couldn’t do it. I still wanted to live.
Then on my way back I saw an old woman carrying flowers. The basket on her head was filled with flowers and it seemed heavy.
But she still struggled with it but her weak body couldn’t keep up, the basket fell and all her flowers fell.
I felt bad for her so I rushed to help her pick them up.
What a sad soul!, she mumbled while I was picking the flowers. I heard it clearly, so I stood up and looked at her.
She smiled at me.
What’s the greatest thing you wish for?, she asked.
To be happy, I replied. I didn’t care about anything or anyone again.
But it won’t ever happen in this life right?, I will never be happy. I wish I can fight for myself, I mumbled sadly.
You have a chance to be happy but in another flower, she said.
What do you mean?, I asked her.
She brought out two different flowers from her basket and gave it to me.
Two different worlds, two different lives, Justice will be served and your wish will come true, she said.
What do you mean, I asked. She smiled at me
It’s a gift my child, Thank you for helping me pick my flowers, and make sure you don’t loose any flower, She said.
Huh???
Then she carried her basket and walked away.
I didn’t think much about it but it smelt nice so I kept it inside my pocket.
The fight with my mum broke me entirely, I finally had the courage and jumped off the rooftop but then I woke in your body.
At first it freaked me out but when I met her that time, I realized that she was the one.
° Back to present °
I am really sorry, Chelsea said.
Dami laughed bitterly and turned to leave but Chelsea rushed and blocked her immediately.
Please say something, don’t ignore me please,She begged almost in tears.
Dami pushed her aside and walked away without looking back.
Chelsea fell to the ground crying.
••
Miles was in the living room when Dami came in.
Once again, he noticed something was wrong so he went to her.
Hi, she mumbled. Her voice even cracked.
Are you okay?, he asked staring at her.
I am fine, do I look ill?, she chuckled.
He sighed and held her face.
That’s what you say but I see pain inside your eyes, he said.
I am really fine, I am not…..I…..I……..
Dami burst into tears before she could complete her statement.
Just what I said, Miles mumbled.
I feel betrayed, she cried.
I feel betrayed, I feel really betrayed, she cried loudly.
Miles wrapped his arms around her hugging her tightly.
Cry your pain out okay, it will be fine, he whispered. Dami cried on his shoulders.
He carried her to the room when she finished crying and she slept off immediately.
•
Dami woke up around 8:14 pm, she was feeling really hungry.
Well she didn’t eat that lunch and she had not eaten dinner too.
She remembered what happened before she fell asleep
I can’t believe he actually let me cry on his shoulders and also carried me here, she thought.
The thought of it made her smile
But her stomach growled at that moment reminding her that she needed to eat.
She came down from the bed and left the room.
She got to the living room but she saw no sign of Miles
Where is he??, she mumbled looking around.
She heard footsteps behind her and turned sharply.
Happy??? What is she doing here???.
What do you want?, Dami asked.
You are not Chelsea, are you???
Gbammmmm!!!!!
Okay that was bold!!!!!
What are you talking about?, Dami asked.
You know what I am talking about, Happy replied.
What makes you think I am not Chelsea?, Dami chuckled.
At first I thought it was weird, Chelsea never stood up to Kimberly but all of sudden she started doing that and also publicly claimed she was with Miles. Weird because you never talked to Miles after Jewel’s incident.
And then High school friend????. After Jewel got missing you never made new friends.
The only friend you had was your childhood friend Sofia. She snatched your boyfriend and you stopped being friends. Other then that you had no other friend apart from us.
And then should we talk about your allergies?, Happy said.
That doesn’t mean anything, Dami said.
It does mean something, at least I know you aren’t Chelsea and you are an imposter, now my question is where is the real Chelsea?, Happy asked.
Why are you doing this? Because I told Ace about you?, Dami asked.
Happy chuckled.
I am Chelsea, if you say I am not then prove it, Dami said.
Really???.
Then answer this questions.
What’s my real name?, Happy asked.
Jeong Nara, Dami replied immediately. Happy chuckled
Then how did Jewel get missing and when did she get missing????.
Do I have to answer your ridiculous questions? What does it have to do with this matter!!, Dami snapped.
Happy chuckled.
You are getting too worked up. You asked me to prove you are not an imposter right??. Now where is the real Chelsea!! Where did you keep her!!!, Happy snapped.
And cut that crap about being Chelsea, you better start explaining your self or you will have to explain it to the cops!, Happy added.
Fine, Dami chuckled.
You want the truth right???.
You are right I am not Chelsea, my real name is Dami and I am not…….
The sound of something crashing interrupted her.
Dami and Happy turned immediately.
No no no!!!!
No!!!!!!!
What do you mean by that??, Miles asked in shock.
No no no no not Miles!!!!
Not Miles!!!!
Not Miles 😭😭😭😭.
