Since Lilly is supposed to be her, then Lilly must to learn how to be like her. It's was quite a difficult task for Lilly but was able to catch one or two things form her sister. She was sitting on her bed when someone nock on her door. But the call was for run away Ellie not Lilly. "Ellie, Ellie , your husband and his family are here. Mom and Dad calls for your present." Lilly's heart skipped a beat. She was sad because her sister left her. And she was scared because she has to pretend to be Ellie which was difficult. Ellie is a literate while Lilly is an illiterate. Ellie is harsh while Lilly is calm. Ellie speaks vulgar language while Lilly speaks good dialect. Yes, they are identical twins but has total different personality. How can Lilly who is like ice water act like Ellie who is like fire. Lilly tried her best to speak like Ellie "f**k off, I will be there." She took a deep breath. She stood in front of the mirror and went over her lines that Ellie taught her. it was about to go down. She told herself and encouraged herself. She flinched as soon as she opened her door and saw familiar and unfamiliar faces. Her heart beat started racing again. Gosh she doesn't want to lie. But she can't let her sister's dream to be shattered. She walked downstairs like how her sister taught her. But she couldn't deceived the so called family she grew up in. They know her better than she knows herself. Her father's face changed drastically. Anger started surging on his face. Not to mentioned Mrs Green and her children. They were surprised at Lilly's new look. Truth be told she looked exactly like Ellie. But her fearful face gave her out. And moreover it's looked like the other family also noticed some changes in the Ellie they knew. This Ellie is timid. It's looks like she's scared of all the gazes on her which is unlikely like that savage Ellie they met. Lilly's family started to play by ear. "Ellie my dear, why are you standing? Come on come, come and greet your family in laws and your soon to be husband. I guess your other half, I mean Lilly, I guess she's still asleep." Mrs Green said. She was trying to hide Lilly's identify at all cost since she doesn't want her family to be embarrassed. As if her sister never taught her anything. Lilly forgot that she was supposed to act like her sister and started behaving like herself. Step by step she came into the living room. She then raised her head to look at the new family members in their house. She saw smiles on all their faces except one person that lock eyes with her. The man was more than handsome. Words can't explain how she was feeling. She was actually drooling over the man whom she assumed to be her husband to be. She gave him a small smile which he also return it in the same way that caused his family to look at him as if he had grown 4 heads. " Come here sweetie. Come and sit with grandma." Old madam Kingsley said to Lilly with a wide smile. Lilly felt warmth within her. This is the first time someone is given her a sincere smile aside from her sister. Lilly smiled back and walk over to the old woman who was already stretching out her hand for Lilly. " Can someone tell us what is going on here?" asked Mrs Thomas annoyingly. She knew that was not the girl they wanted for her son. " What do you mean Mrs Thomas?" Mrs Green pretentiously asked. " Oh stop joking with us Mrs Jerkings, you know exactly what I'm talking about."Mrs Thomas said angrily. " Enough, let's hear what the girl has to say." said Old Master Kingsley. Lilly was scared of how everyone was looking at her and their eyes demanding for an explanation. She couldn't bear it so she started sobbing which surprised everyone. Now their suspicion have been confirmed. "Let get out of this family. They are deceivers mom,Dad, let get Will a woman from a trustworthy family." Mrs Thomas was really fuming with anger now. it's seems this Jerkings family want to play dumb with her family. Lilly upon hearing Mrs Thomas words couldn't bear it and sobbed even more.She knew she made a mistake of replacing her sister and for sure her family is really going to beat the s**t out of her after the visitors are gone. Old master Kingsley and Old madam Kingsley tried to coax her. "It's okay my child. Grandma and Grandpa are here. Don't be afraid and tell us what happened ok. No one will blame you." said old madam Kingsley. She really couldn't bear to see the little girl crying. When Lilly heard the old madam words,should raised her head and her eyes were full of innocent tears. It's made everyone pity her. Even Mrs Thomas felt bad about her words earlier on. Lilly looked at everyone face trying her hard to give the an explanation but the words got stuck in a her throat when her eyes landed on her handsome and charming husband to be. He had been quite ever since they arrive. It's even seems like he's actually holding his patience because of the little girl . Their eyes locked and none of them wanted to look away. It's seems as though there's a connection between them. "Come here little wifey."said Williams all of a sudden which made everyone turned to look at him. He motioned for Lilly to come and sit besides him. He knew the girl was finding it difficult to explain everything under all the gaze everyone was given her. Lilly got up and went to his side as if that was her safety place. Though it was actually their first time of meeting each other, she felt like sitting next to Williams provide her safety. Williams gave her a small smile and took her hands and placed it in his. The act surprised everyone especially his family. They knew perfectly well that Williams hate body contact with women. Especially strangers.So how come.... " Look at me."he said to Lilly who kept on bowing her head. She raised her eyes to look at him now very close and was in awe. Those ocean blue eyes were beautiful beyond measures. She couldn't help herself to say with a smile " Your eyes are beautiful." Another shock to everyone from Lilly's words. The girl who was crying not just a few seconds ago is now complimenting her husband to be with a smile. Williams return her smile and said "Thank you". Now everyone was actually looking at the soon to be couple. " Can you tell us what happened. And why you are replacing your sister? Because everyone knows you are not Ellie. Maybe you look identical and you dressed like her but you're absolutely different from each other. So can you please tell me because I deserve to know the truth." Williams took his time and explain it to the little girl in front of him. He knew the kind of treatment the girl has gone through in her own family house because of his investigation. " I helped her run away to fulfill her dreams . Ellie had always dreamed of becoming a super model. She had fight a lots for it and everything payed off when she got hired. But she had to move West Country and she wanted to go with me." We were happy and actually preparing for it when our father told us about our mom and Grandpa wish. Ellie didn't want any of us to get marry so she told me to run away together." " But I couldn't because it's was our mom's wish. One us has to fulfill it.So I asked Ellie to run away and fulfill her dreams and I will replace her. I couldn't let Ellie's dreams shattered into pieces, she really fought hard for it. I'm so sorry." Lilly completed her explanation with full tears in her eyes and was actually looking straight into Williams eyes when she was explaining. For some reason Williams felt hurt for the girl. Even all his family felt pity for the girl. She's willing to sacrifice her own happiness for her sister's dream. Williams wiped away Lilly's tears and gave her an assuring smile that everything is OK. He stood up and took Lilly's hand and announced "I'm taking my little wife out to get to know each. I will return her later Mr Jerkings." Mr Jerkings just nodded in yes because words can't explain how he was feeling. Williams left with Lilly to take her to get fresh air because the girl needed it.
