‘Could it be that she likes him?’
“N-No!” Hannah shook her head fervently and explained in a hurry, “I… I have no feelings for him.”
“That’s better be the case! Don’t you ever forget that you’re supposed to help me, not to fall in love with him for real! Hannah Riggs, listen to me carefully. You’ll be my shadow forever, and no one will know about your existence!”
Hannah had her head hung low, nodding, while the light in her gaze diminished gradually. “Heather, I know that I’ll be your shadow forever. I won’t compete for anything with you.”
“Compete with me?” That phrase made Heather scoff. “Do you think you’re qualified to do that? You’ve never been better than me in anything you did ever since we were young! How could you compete with me? Also, the man bought this stupid thing for me! I only gave it to you because I pitied you. Plus, you need to deal with him in my place. Wear this, so he doesn’t get suspicious.”
When Hannah heard the bracelet was for Heather, her face paled instantly. This sight made Heather feel so much better.
‘Did she think that she could change anything just because we look the same and that she went outside twice to help me with my matters? She can only live in the dark forever! Be it at my parent’s house or in this manor, I’m the only Ms. Riggs. She isn’t fit to be called a Riggs, and it’s good enough that I got the maids to address her as Ms. Hannah.’
“Be smart and make sure he doesn’t notice anything! If anything goes wrong in my plan because of you, you know the consequences you will face!” Heather glared at her sister sharply.
Hannah lowered her head again and answered softly, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, “I-I got it…”
“Good. Have you finished the milk for today? Have you weighed yourself?” Heather nodded at her response and continued to ask.
“I did. 101 pounds. I finished the milk too.”
