The Real and Fake

When we arrived at the Reynolds House, I was the only one who went inside while I instructed Tiara to wait outside.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?” she asked , and I nodded in response.
“I’ll be okay, don’t worry,” I answered as I stepped into the building.
The house looked almost as it did years ago, although some areas had been renovated, and then I noticed the canopy, so I made my way over. The chair there had been replaced, and just then, I took a seat as memories of how I first met Kael here flooded back.
“Miss Kyrie?” a voice called, and I turned to see Kael, causing me to quickly get up from the chair.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, glancing from the chair I had been sitting on back to me.
“Oh, I came to see Ethan and just decided to take a moment to relax here,” I replied, unsure if my lie was believable.
Naturally, I did come to see Ethan in a way, but I didn’t come under the canopy to relax.
“Oh, okay then, he’s inside,” he said.
“Thank you,” I replied and began to walk away.
“Oh, I also heard about your relationship with Ethan,” he added, making me halt as I turned to look at him.
“Congratulations, by the way,” he said making me to raise my eyebrow. “Oh, do you know that his fiancée is back?” he continued.
“Huh?” I responded.
“Well, it’s quite interesting,” he said as he placed his hands in his pockets.
“He got himself a girlfriend and his fiancée whom he thought was dead turns out to be alive “ he said like he was enjoying it
Did Kael truly think that the person inside was actually Skylar??
Perhaps he actually doesn’t recognize me at all??
“If you’ll excuse me,” I said as I turned and walked away, then I entered the house just in time to see Ethan coming down the stairs, where he was holding a glass of water in his left hand and looked quite surprised to see me.
“How?? How did you arrive here? What are you doing here??” he questioned, as he placed the glass cup onto a stool beside him.
“Oh, well you are mine now, so I need to find out who this fiancée of yours is,” I replied.
“I’m yours?? Alright, I understand that I accepted your proposal, but you should realize this isn’t real, so don’t get carried away or delusional to the point of thinking this is real and that I’ll ultimately be yours,” he said.
“Like it or not, you’re mine “ I said and in my mind, a different story was unfolding. You're mine to use, mine to manipulate, mine to break.
He looked at me as if I were some kind of possessive lover.
“Oh, have you seen your fiancée?” I asked.
“Yeah, but she has a different look now,” he replied, causing me to furrow my brow. “And stop referring to her as my fiancée? she has a name.”
“Different look?” I questioned.
“Yeah, it turns out she underwent surgery while she was abroad, and now she’s back,” he explained.
“Are you certain she is indeed your fiancée?” I asked, and he shot me a glare, likely due to the term ‘fiancée.’
“Fine, are you sure she’s Skylar?” I probed, and he paused for a few seconds in silence.
“Well, I believe so because…”
At that moment, I heard some clicking down the stairs, and I looked up to see a young woman making her way down. She was dressed in a black outfit, with her hair neatly styled, and yes, she was attractive.
My attention was now fixed on this lady as she reached the bottom of the stairs and approached us.
Is she the Skylar?
Was this Mr. Reynolds' doing? Did he actually bring in someone just to ensure his son married Skylar, even if it meant another Skylar?
“Oh, aren’t you Kyrie? The celebrity?” the lady said while extending her hand.
“I’m Skylar Jones,” she introduced herself, and I glanced at her hand and then scoffed
Seriously? She had the audacity to call herself Skylar Jones.
When I didn’t accept her hand for a handshake, she awkwardly retracted it.
“Oh well, I saw the articles too but what are you going to do now?? In case you don’t know, I got engaged with Ethan years ago and he thought I had died in a plane crash but I’m back now,” she said, and I rolled my eyes because this is just too hard to believe.
Just when everything was going according to my plan, an impersonator shows up out of the blue to disrupt things??
Who is she, and who is paying her to do all this??
There’s no way I would let anyone interfere with my plans.
Then she stared at Ethan.
“Why are you still looking at me like that?? I decided to look pretty because of you,” she stated, and Ethan shot her a fierce look.
“Pretty or not, you still disgust me,” he replied, and that took me by surprise.
What does he mean by that?
Didn’t he hate Skylar? I mean, didn’t he hate me because I was ugly??
But now he’s saying that despite her looks, he still finds her disgusting.
“You bullied me for years, I even lost my father and yes I know we were forced to get engaged and I hated you too , after you humiliated me in school, I’ve hated you since then but I I’ve forgiven you “ the lady said
Really???
She even knows things.
Forgive???? She has no right to forgive anyone in my position .
“You…” I started, but she interrupted me by raising her hands and said, “I wasn’t speaking to you, so mind your own business.”
Oh, this b***h is pushing my buttons.
“You have no right to speak to her like that,” Ethan said while glaring at her, and you must've seen the article. “Yes, it’s true , we’re in a relationship,” he added, and the woman turned to face me, clearly annoyed.
Why is she so annoyed?? After all, she’s the fake Skylar?? Or could it be that she has feelings for Ethan as well?
“Just remember that we’re already engaged, Ethan,” she said before walking by us, intentionally stepping on my foot.
“Oops, my bad,sorry” she said with a grin as she continued on, but I wasn’t going to let her off the hook.
“Oh, hold on, I didn’t properly introduce myself,” I said with a smile
“Well, I don’t need your introduction,” she replied.
“Just give me a few moments, it’s the least you could do in exchange for me accepting your apology,” I mentioned, then grabbed the glass of water that Ethan had put on the stool earlier, and in an instant, I splashed it right onto her face.
She screamed as the water trickled down her face, looking completely taken aback.
“What?? Are you out of your mind??” she shouted.
“Oops, my bad, sorry” I mimicked her earlier tone, “And yes, I’m Kyrie. No one can mess with Kyrie and go scot free” I added, glaring at her.
This is just the start for her, I’m determined to make it difficult for her until she admits that she’s not the real Skylar.
I can’t have anyone come from nowhere to impersonate me and slow my revenge plot
