REBORN AS A HOBO

Confession

NICOLE'S POV

After watching the ambulance, police and the crowd disperse, I hugged song who was standing behind me. "Thank you babe" I said kissing him lightly on his lips before getting into my private car. We were holding a party to celebrate our victory in the forth coming night and I couldn't wait to be in his arms again after getting that b***h out of the way.

But before then, I have to tell the world that I and Song are getting married. That i***t had been thinking song was in love with her. I laughed hysterically as I remembered all she had done for Song who was a nobody, in the name of love. That was my plan though, fifty percent of her properties were in his name now and twenty In mine. Song is my boyfriend and we are going to be rich!

SELENA'S OR ARIA'S POV

"Cheers!" Came the shout from my huge and gigantic villa. I hid from the guards and waited patiently for what they will say next. I also got a spot to view what was going on inside. It was….no is my house though, so I know all its hiding places which I didn't know will come in handy one day. Nicole stood up and went over to song and kisses him. I gasped in shock beginning to shake.

"I want to toast my love, for a mission well executed. You see when I was just a backup singer, singing myself hoarse for peanuts from Selena, I knew I needed another way to collect all that is suppose to be mine. Then I just risked it and sent My Song to pretend he is in love with that fool. And it worked! Today, we hold seventy percent. Although that isn't all, they will be eventually mine. Cheers!" she said clicking glasses with my mom.

I shook in shock and horror. My heart was beating fast and I began to sweat. This had been a plan all along? Song wasn't in love with me? The reality was right in front of me but I refuse to accept it. My mom stood up and hugged Nicole "And I want to plead with my dear daughter to forgive me for neglecting you all these years." She said kissing her forehead. "Its okay mom. It was for my own good and benefit, I am happy we are rich now" The devil Nicole replied resting her head on my mom…..or her mom's chest.

"Its just like yesterday when we were so poor and couldn't even feed properly. I made the best choice by adopting Selena. You see, I didn't really want to adopt her because my small family couldn't even feed. But I was then working as a cleaner in the orphanage where she lived. I knew when she was brought in after a car accident that claimed her parents. I watched her grow till she was two with no one willing to adopt her.

"When she was two, I noticed that she had a really beautiful voice and she could sing and even compose songs from just mere spoken words. That was my chance! I quickly adopted her and groomed her to use her powerful voice to enter for competitions and she won. Within six months that I adopted her, she had used her voice to secure a scholarship in the most prestigious nursery school. That was when I staged Nicole to be a helpless child and lied to her that Nicole isn't my child.

"And Nicole was very up to the task. Becoming her best friend and keeping other people from her. The rest you all know" the devilish woman said smiling brightly. My heart nearly stopped beating out of anger. I clutched my chest. Blinded by anger and without thinking, I kicked open the door and stormed into the party

Immediately, all the chatter stopped and all eyes turned to me, but I didn't mind. Without thinking or pausing for a breath I charged at the woman I had grown up to call mom all my life. I smashed the bottle of champagne and picked up the broken pieces raising my hand to stab her. That was when I was kicked away by someone on my ribs. I fell to the ground wincing in pain clutching my ribs that had been kicked..

"Aria?" Song shouted in disbelief and fury. "My love did you know this crazy hobo?" Nicole asked her eyes wide in in anger. "She is my sister. But now, she has crossed the bottom line. Security!" He shouted and several men dressed in black suit and googles ran in. These were my guards! Now they are the one arresting me. What an irony! I laughed bitterly as I was dragged away to be locked in the small stinky dungeon where I had once locked people that offended me.

SONG'S POV

After listening to all Mrs Smart said, I was smiling at Nicole like a love struck fool marveling at her brilliance. Seriously, when we fell in love, I was just a trash collector paid in peanuts. We dated for two years before she brought up the plan of deceiving Selena that changed our lives forever. I was skeptical at first but she assured me that all was going to be alright and soon Selena will be out of the way.

As i was lost in thought, the door suddenly bursted open and with the speed of lightning, someone rushed in and knocked down Mrs Smart wanting to stab her. I quickly snapped out of the momentary shock and swiftly kicked the person away. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the person was Aria. How did she know this place and Mrs Smith and what grudge did she hold against her?

In anger, I ordered her to be locked up without food and water for one month for her stupidity. I stormed upstairs to I and Nicole's master bedroom which used to be Selena's. I slumped on the bed sighing deeply and trying to understand and comprehend all that have been happening that day. I remembered Aria's sudden hostility towards me and lunging at me when I went to see my useless parents today. Then her breaking into the villa to attack Mrs Smith.

"Is that really Aria? Is someone using her behind the scenes? But, Selena is dead. I saw her body with my own eyes. Which other person will hate Mrs Smith more than the way Selena will do now?" I pondered when the door opened and Nicole looking very gorgeous walked in. "What bothers my love?" She asked softly lying beside me with her head on my chest. "Its Aria, she is behaving strangely and am wondering if there is someone behind the scenes" I replied.

She laughed loudly "no way! Selena is dead and your sister doesn't even know her. Even if she does, she doesn't you are family" she replied standing up to go and wash. Absentmindedly, I picked up my phone and called my secret informat. "Find out everything and everywhere Aria went for the past two days." I ordered. "But sir, Aria is your sister why are you investigating her?" Chen asked. "Are you questioning me? I need the information within thirty minutes!" I shouted irritated and slammed the phone.

The phone rang again "sir, nothing happened to her yesterday. Just going about collecting her usual scrap. Then today, she was about to be sold to a cabbage farmer, but she ran away and was hit by a car but nothing happened to her despite the severe hit. Just minor injuries" Chen reported. "She was severely hit by a car but didnt die?" I asked my eyes wide in disbelief. "Yes sir. I will send the footage to you" he concluded and hung up. Without waiting, I grabbed my coat and dashed out of the villa.
