LIVING IN SOMEONE'S LIFE

•[Yuri's pov]• "Yuri, we need to talk," Cazandra said gravely. "What's up?" I asked. "My sister has passed away. I need you to assume her role and pretend to be Keston's bride-to-be." "What?! You know I couldn't do that, Caz; I'm your sister's best friend." I disagreed with Cazandra's proposal. "And what do you mean dead? She's not dead, she's in state right? I asked, full of questions. Cazandra revealed, "No, she died on her way home." "I won't disrespect her memory by taking her place." I replied, tears streaming down my face "You want justice for your brother, don't you? " I stood firm. "I'll find justice the right way. I won't use someone else's life, specially your sister's life." "Fine, suit yourself. Time's running out, Yuri." Cazandra said sarcastically before leaving. Five Hours Later A knock broke the silence. "Who's there?" i asked. "Yuri, It's Jamaica." I opened the door. "What brings you here, Maica?" "My child needs medicine; i need the 22,000 you borrowed" "Could I pay in installments?" "Okay, I'll bring my son to the hospital tomorrow morning, I'll be here tomorrow morning ready the 10,000 and pay the remaining 12,000 next month." Yuri negotiated. "How about 5,000 next month?" Maica hesitated. "Arghhh, Fine; I need to go prepare the exact 10,000 tomorrow." Aling Nadya arrived. "Yuri, lucky I caught you! Where were you yesterday?" "I worked overtime, Aling Nadya. What brings you here?" "You're three months behind on your rent." I lied anxiously. "I'll pay soon, with 5,000 in interest." "Ensure that, Yuri. Pay by the end of the month or face the jail" Nadya warned. Hours passed, and anxiety gripped me. "Mama, Papa, please guide me," I whispered. I immediately dialed Cazandra's number. "Hello, Yuri. Finally." "I've made up my mind." "Okay, what do you need? Remember, you'll do everything I say." "I need 100,000." "Okay, Just wait." My phone rang, signaling that the money had been deposited. "The money's in your account. The deal is sealed." "When do I start?" I asked anxiously. "Today. My driver will pick you up." Five minutes later, they arrived at a plastic surgery clinic.
