That is me, despite my beauty I still don't have time to date or fall love "Eva!

I'm sorry MA " I stutters " oh! hold your apologies Eva....that's your usual" she snap. I just stare at the floor "This is the last time Eva, if this lateness continues I will be forced to fire you" she growled That will be my worst nightmare, I knew how much it took me to find this job, loosing it, is nothing but a disaster to me. This job is the only source of income I have. I takes care of my bills with no struggles, thanks to this job "I promise you MA, it won't happen again" I mouthed. She scoff "Same usual words... You know what, your punishment is to deliver pizza throughout today" she concludes and walk out not waiting for me to speak up Mrs Mariam knew how much I hate delivering pizza that's why she sees it as a better punishment. To me delivering pizza is too stressful, it makes me sick and tired, sometimes you might encounter a rude customer and that's the worst of it My job in the pizzeria is nothing but making the pizza and I love it I will lift the burden of the people whose job is to deliver pizza. I so much hate this . . Some pizza were packed for me to deliver, I have ten places to deliver pizza today... That's why I see pizza delivery to be so stressful I packed the pizza in the boot of the hatchback Mrs Marian gave me for the delivery, am not wearing a happy face at all I enters the hatchback and zoom off Nora pov I came out from my office building heading towards my car in a rush The maid called, saying that Angela is acting all strange, scattering the whole house in the name that she is looking for Mitchell She occasionally does that and no body can calm her down if not me or Jorge, but Jorge is not around, he went for a business meeting... though he did everything possible not to attend the meeting because he wants to be by Angela's side, his presence is nevertheless required at the meeting I have been with Angela since morning, I only came to the office not long ago to sort some issues out but I didn't spend up to two hours before the maid called I feel so pity for my sister and seeing her that way so much hurt me.... She doesn't deserve this pain at all. I hope nothing happens to her because she is the only one I have left But the solution the doctor gave is impossible cos Mitchell is dead. I so much fear of loosing my sister I was about opening my car when I sight a lady that has the same body figure as Mitchell I was forced to take a close look at the lady, what am I even thinking... Mitchel is dead, but my curiosity took the best part of me. the lady scurried into the building with a pizza box I waited patiently for the lady to come out and she did not quite long That was when I saw her clear view, my jaw dropped immediately in bewilderment, my eyes widen in shock.... am definitely muddled and stupefied "Mitchell?"I mumble, but Mitchell is dead or did she survived the incident I was still contemplating whether the lady is Mitchell or not as she hopped into her car driving off I didn't waste time as I shakily enter my car and drive after her My heart was beating so fast in anxiety cos I don't know what to believe, but I saw her face clearly... She is no different to Mitchel, she looks exactly like her I pray she is Mitchell so that my sister can live. how can it be possible... Her dead body was found with the diamond necklace Angela gave her, gosh! I don't know what to believe... I just need to relive my curiosity I drive fast after the car in a mixed expression.... Should I doubt my thought or believe it Her tyre screech to halt, she park the car in the parking lot, the building looks like a living apartment She step down and rush into the building I park my car and alight from my car waiting patiently for her to come out Jeffrey pov Is already ten months that Mitchell died but I still can't get over it I love Mitchell so much, I don't think I will ever love any woman the way I loved her Mitchell is a loving and sweet girl, she does not deserve death... I so much curse death for taking her away from. My life is a mess and meaningless without her Her death got me crazy, I soaked my self in alcohols, I just can't forget about her. I can't get over her death, am loosing my mind day by day I even had an accident that almost took my life last month after drinking my self to stupor I stare at her picture, my eyes are filled in tears as usual My life is empty and meaningless without Mitchell. The most painful part is that she died on our wedding day. A day we have been waiting for a very long time turns out to be a day that I hope never existed... It was the darkest and most painful day of my life "Why should you leave me Mitchell? Why?" I mutter out crying bitterly Squeezing the photo to my chest I felt someone presence in the room but I didn't bother to check, the person speaks up after some seconds "Jeff" That's Jocelyn voice, she has been my best friend right before I started dating Mitchell and Mitchel is also her friend Jocelyn is a nice and caring lady, she has always been there for me since Mitchell death "When will you get over Mitchell Jeff, you are already doing yourself much harm... You even had an accident last month... Do you wanna kill your self Jeff, Mitchel is gone and she is not coming back even if you cry all-day" Jocelyn grimace, Jeff quickly glance at her. She took a deep breath trying to calm herself, she knows the words she used is harsh but that's the truth anyways... she gently sits beside him and took his hand but he didn't spare her a glance "Listen Jeff, Mitchel is my friend and I love her so much, she won't be happy any where she is if I become miserable just like you .... She is a good person and am sure she wants us to be strong and live our life She wouldn't want us to destroy our life because of her death, am sure she wants you to move on jeff... you have mourned her and is time for you to get on your feet and move on. No matter what you do Mitchel isn't coming back, death has took her away from us and there is nothing we can do" Jocelyn said in a calmly I know Jocelyn is already fed up with the way I behaves after Mitchell's death... I give less or no attention to the company... Presently Jocelyn is the one handling it and is too stressful for her But no matter what, I can't forget Mitchell, I don't think I will be able to get over her death Sooner.... Not ever "I'm sorry Jocelyn... But I can never get over Mitchell's death. Have you forgotten that she died the day I married, how do you expect me to get over such painful experience so easily" I mutters dryly "I know Jeff, but no matter how much you bear her in your heart, she will never return back to you and that's the fact You have forgotten about your life Jeff, you no longer put interest in your own company and you are totally behaving selfish not minding others feelings What about your poor aunt, you have not visited her for a while now. Do you think your aunt will be able to bear the pain of loosing you... You need to be strong for her" she bashed She is right but I just can't help it... I buried my face in my palm. I wish Mitchell will come back for me I felt a hand around my shoulder, that's Jocelyn She made me rest my head on her shoulder as I cried out like a baby Will I ever forget Mitchell... Eva pov I was about entering my hatchback when a lady voice stops me "Mitchell" the lady calls out. I turn and face her I don't know her nor the name she mentioned Her eyes looks teary and had some expressions on her face which I can't explain. She looks surprised, nervous and happy... I just think so "Mitchell, is it really you?" she mumbles letting the tears out. Am confused here, who is Mitchel and why is she referring me by the name "Excuse me lady, I am not Mitchell, am Eva, Eva Nicola" I replied trying to enter my hatchback. I think she mistook me for someone else I've already cleared her doubt, I need to leave now cos I still have five places to deliver pizza and the time is running against me I came back home to get something and I've already wasted so much time She held my arm stopping me from opening the car "Am aunt Nora, your favorite aunt, don't you remember me honey" she said plainly still in tears, I wonder why she is crying This lady is something else, who is this Mitchell for crying out loud "Listen.. I am not mitchell or what so ever, go and look for the Mitchell some where else cos I'm not her" I blurts out. She is just becoming annoying, am late already... Why is she pulling so much drama I get it, people do look alike but if you look closely you will see the difference so she supposed to have seen the difference being so close to me now, why is she over reacting Nora pov She is claiming not to be Mitchell but that can't be possible.... She looks exactly like Mitchell but still something is forcing me to believe her Mitchell is dead, there is no way she could be alive... Then who is this lady I look at her once more, she really looks exactly like Mitchell, there is no different from her and Mitchell If not that I knew the day Angela gave birth to Mitchell, I might conclude that this lady is Mitchell's twin "I'm going ma'am, go and look for your Mitchell okay... I'm not her" she rush out her words Before I could speak up, she has already enter her car and zoom off I was lost in dillema... The much I think about it, the more confused it became Oh! No, I was so happy when I saw her... I thought I've finally find Mitchel If she is not Mitchell then who is she? That I will find out...
