RAVAGES

Insert 2

Ethan's eye's lurked only on Harper, his eye preyed on her amusingly, the nurse assigned to feed Harper was trying to convince Harper who looked dazed and neglected.

"Mrs Ellis please eat..." The nurse plead, Harper eyes the nurse then her eyes focuses on Ethan who was caught staring at her she quickly looked away and hissed.

"I don't want to eat and I don't want to be referred as his partner, I have a husband and it's not him..." Harper muttered weakly. "But you've not had anything to eat ever since you woke up." The nurse replied Harper turned her eyes to the other side of the room, ignoring the existence of the nurse and Ethan.

"I'll feed her.." Ethan volunteer, to her sheer horror the nurse hands over Harper's food to Ethan and exits the room.

"Who is she ?? Who is the woman impersonating me ? How is that even possible, why did I end up in the reservoirs ? Does my husband know about this ?? Why are you.." A spoon went in her mouth Harper taste buds kicked in as her teeth clenched on to the spoon and suddenly she quickly savoured the content of the spoon, she let out a moan of delight and rasps gambling on the fact this is the first time she ate actual food after playing sleeping beauty for 13 months.

"Better ?" Ethan arched a brow she ignored him but however couldn't think straight now other than eating. He scooped another spoon slowly driving the spoon to her mouth, starved she didn't have any other choice other than to eat and didn't even care if she was spooned like a three year old.

A few spoons later, no eye contact was made Ethan eyes studies Harper more carefully feeding her as an excuse to look at her, his eyes focused on her neck, his throat clenched when he realized he's been a staring more than he intended to instead of feeding her.

"Do I have something on my neck ?" Her voice was careful and nervous which amused Ethan.

"No, I was checking if you sustained scabs or serious injuries, seems you don't.." He said feeding her the last spoon then putting the plate away, Harper was drowned in her thoughts, nobody knew about her existence because some unknown maniac is living her life.

All she could think about was Mason ? Didn't he realized anything different about the woman living her life even if the public doesn't notice anything different he was supposed to somehow know the woman living with him is a stranger but he didn't and has been fooled for thirteen months.

"If Mason doesn't know about me then who's footing my bills ?" She looked into Ethan's eye's and got her answer.

"Thank you." She uttered not looking away. "I'll pay you.."

"Don't bother." He said breaking their stare. "I can pay you back the moment I'm out of this hospital I'm getting my life, Identity and husband back and I will reward you for your kindness I promise..." Harper boasts as Ethan shares her a pitiful look. "I'm not some charity I am capable.."

"And who do you think will confirm that you're the real Harper Graves ? What are you going to do scream to the world that the woman everyone thought was you is an imposter ? Who do you think will believe you, you'll just be name tagged as another insane clout chaser who spend millions just to look like you." He said. "Do you even know how dangerous and stupid it is if you take that risk you'll be ignored and eventually eliminated, they couldn't kill you the first time they'll won't make such a mistake next time.." Fact gave Harper a quick blow to her face, he was right who ever is impersonating her definitely had a hand in her dilemma and will definitely kill her when they realize she isn't dead.

"You're right.." Harper confessed stretching out a painful smile. "I should have died then." She groaned looking down at her sheets clading her on her bed.

"But someone is out there illegally answering my name, lying to the people I love, they stole my identity it may be dangerous but I don't want to be quiet and watched them like a fool." She said with an undefeated look written all over her face.

"Me helping out with your bills wasn't some kind of Charity, thirteen months of hiding you and waiting for you isn't free." He instantly said which had her confuse.

"But you said you don't want anything from me ?" Harper clarify. "I don't want your money, paying your bills wasn't actually that much of a deal, I make three times the amount the money spent for your bills in a day." Ethan boasts.

" Then what do you want ?" Her question was icy and cold not the reaction Ethan expected, he yearned for probably a nervous reaction but she was icing it under her stoned expression.

He couldn't help but admire it.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not some p*****t or some kind of psycho what I want probably could probably startle you ?" He smirk as she sighed and bowed her head.

"What do you want ?" She muttered, her head still bent down.

"You will abandon your identity as Harper Graves and take on a fake identity as Chloe Riggs, my fiance...." Ethan said Harper suddenly looked up and gave Ethan the expression he was hoping for.
