Chapter 4

"STOP IT!! PLEASE I BEG YOU!! I WILL LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND! BUT PLEASE DON'T!!" I shouted at Jane who was standing at the edge of the roof.

"As long as they have you.. No one will be there for me. " Jane said as tears streamed down from both of our faces.

"I am here for you.. " I said holding my hands out at her while taking a step towards her.

"You are blind in the fire of success... " she hissed.

"And you are blind in the fire of envy.. Snap out of this, Jane." I said.

"It's all your fault..." She said as a final tear rolled down and she jumped out of the roof...

"JANE!! " I woke up panting heavily. Sweat rolled down from my forehead as I walked out of my room because I can't bear to be alone in that room anymore, it's breaking my every my tranquil, giving me extreme stress. I put my hand over my forehead and wiped the cold sweat form on it. My heart burst out of my chest as I felt so scared. I swallowed hard and wiped the tears that brimmed in my eyes. I shut my eyes and let out deep breaths to calm my tense form.

These nightmares are frequent as they haunt me in the worst way possible, leaving me with the inability to think nothing and feeling utterly helpless and devastating. These scars are so deep that liberating myself from this is beyond my capabilities as I am lost in these lethal apparitions.

Distraught with extreme fear and anxiety, I walked in the empty hallways as sunlight greeted me through the window. It's afternoon. I wonder when I fell asleep. Marianne left but I didn't went to my university. I sighed deeply and walked down. I ran my hand in my hair and went to the main hall only to see Ryan looking at mine, Jane and Marianne pictures. Then the truck of realization hit me that what happened just a few days ago was real and I am getting married to the person who wants to marry my sister and loves her. How ironic.

Upon seeing him, my facades came back as I walked down with my usual cold look,

"Marianne is not here Mr Knight. She left for California a few days ago."

He turned to me and smiled.

"Good Morning. I know she went. Actually, I am here to meet you. " He said. I raised my eyebrow at him and stopped in front of him.

"By the way, who's she?" He asked referring to Jane.

"She was my twin sister, Jane Morris."

"Marianne never talked about her. And what do you mean by 'Was'?"

"She died." I said coldly.

"I am sorry for your loss." He said sincerely. I just hummed in response and turned my head away.

"I guess you just woke up." He said. I looked down and saw that I am still in my pyjamas.

"I never slept in the first place." I replied. A silence fell upon us but then I asked, "What brings you here Mr Knight? "

"Actually I want to take Marianne out on a date so I need your advice about her likes and dislikes."

"Don't you know about that much?" I asked.

"She never talked about her, she always talked about you."

"Like? " I asked, intrigued.

"Your skills, fears, likes and all."

"Mr Knight don't you think you should spend this time with her and get to know her... not from me but from her. It would be better. " I said bitterly.

"She even told me you are rude." he smiled.

"I take that as a compliment. Now, please, If you excuse me, I have other things to do. You are very welcome to come all the way here for me but I am sorry I cannot help you." I said and turned to leave.

"Your behavior is hurting not only you but the ones around you too. Marianne is very worried about you. She loves you a lot." His words stopped as I moved my head to him and narrowed my eyes .

"I don't need anyone to tell me that Mr Knight and as for my behavior, you should get used to it since we are getting bound to each forever." I finished my sentence with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" He asked bewildered.

"Marriage is an eternal bond for the couple and the other people as well." I explained. He laughed a little and replied, "Your words are clever. You are right, Sister-in-Law." he said. My heart clenched when I heard it. Not because for me but for him, for deceiving him. For doing this cheap trick to him. I felt sad and compassion for him.

"Don't be too hasty to decide relations Mr Knight." I said and before he could say anything, I left.
