The Billionaire's Switch

Chapter 10

It was a great day. The UK born to slay Sleia Miraly Montreal and the probinsyana girl Alice Grace Buenaventura will bound to begin their switching places here in United Kingdom.

Sleia hired the most expensive hairstylist na alam niya and also to protect their identity. It was a powerful organization that built to protect those VVVIP Customers like Sleia Miraly Montreal.

Ginawa lahat ni Sleia ang plano niya in advance kaya napaghandaan niya na ito. She is not Sleia if kukupad-kupad siya. She is born to slay and kick the hell out of someone.

Her hair is very long just like Alice her twin but alam niyang ni minsan ay hindi pa nagagalaw ang buhok ng kapatid niya.

Kitang-kita niya ang pagkasimangot at pag-aalinlangan sa mukha ni Alice lalo na at parang iiyak na ito. Her hair, it was so precious for her kaya alam ni Sleia na labag ito sa kalooban ng kakambal niya but she's willing to do it.

Sleia felt so sorry for that. Talagang identital ang kulay ng buhok at porma nito kay Alice just like her hair.

She is even reminding the stylist to be so meticulous and not even do any harm or mistakes for her sister. The stylist just follow it wholeheartedly lalo pa nung makita nito ang buhok ni Alice na sobrang ganda ng pagkakatubo and it was an honor to the hairstylist na makahawak ng ganon kagandang buhok.

She is also Sleia's hairstylist kaya nasisiguro niyang di ito papalpak dahil wala siyang time to make a single error or mistakes.

Lumabas na lamang siya matapos niyang insructionan ang nasabing hairstylist dahil baka mabuang siya sa loob at mataranta pa ang hairstylist. Also, she don't want Alice hated her for doing this at ang pagiging praning niya. Well, this is what she is and her plan also.

Binabae naman yung hairstylist niya pero nag-iingat siya noh. Alice wear facial mask to cover her face. No one would ever know their identity as a twin dahil ikakapahamak nila ito pareho lalo na ni Alice. It was way to secure her plan on this first step.

Habang siya naman ay magpapachange hair color into black lang and magpa-natural wavy type ng buhok just like Alice.

Pinicturan niya kahapon ang buhok ni Alice to make sure it will look natural and Identical. It was same as her past hair texture and color, kambal sila eh, identical twins to be exactly. They look similarly in every way kaya hindi na nakakapagtaka iyon.

Una pa siyang natapos and she is afraid looking herself in the

After the session, pinalabas na niya ang mga hairstylists nila lalo pa't six hours na ang nakalilipas and all the things ay make sure na it was done. Buhok lang pinagawa niya kaya di sila umangal.

She paid expensively and tip them tripled, they know how to act accordingly. She also said thank you for them and give them food. She is a VVVIP CUSTOMER right?! Este VVVIP CUSTOMERS dahil dalawa sila ni Alice.

Alice are in the dressing room facing a big half body mirror nang bumukas ang pinto and Sleia go inside.

Parang nagulat pa ito nang makitang parang dalawa siya sa salamin.

"Wait, ako ba to?! Wow, I look exactly like you!" Eksaheradang sambit ni Alice habang makikitang kamukhang-kamukha siya nito.

"Duh, you look exactly like me to begin with tsk!" Pagmamaldita namang saad ni Sleia. Di naman siya mabait to begin with lalo na sa ibang tao na masasama ang ugali.

"Suplada yarn gurl?!" Bara naman ni Alice sa ate nitong si Sleia.

"Ganda to gurl, wag kang ano diyan. Dalagang pilipina to gurl!" Nagmamagandang saad ni Sleia at nagcute pose pa.

Natawa naman si Alice at the same time ay namangha din.

Change hair, BIG CHECK! ✓

To complete there switching places ay natry na din silang magpalit ng kasuotan nila. Talagang nag-exchange infos pa sila to make sure that they do it correctly lalo na ang mga importanteng detalye.

Fashion Style, BIG CHECK! ✓

Pero mukhang mahihirapan sila sa mga gestures and the way they walk and talk. Everything here is a mess lalo na at talagang ibang-iba sila.

Kasalukuyan silang nasa bakanteng kwarto ni Sleia. Dito ay inuna nilang pag-aralan kung paano sila lumakad. Sleia teaches Alice first dahil mukhang sa kanilang dalawa ay ito ang dapat mag-adjust ng malaki dahil na rin sa disparity nila sa isa't-isa. She is born to slay kaya nahihirapan si Alice na sundin ang mga kilos lalo na kung paano maglakad ang isang Sleia Miraly Montreal.

Nag-ipon ng lakas ng loob, confidence at kung ano pang klaseng merong positivity ay ginawa niya.

Napatampal ng noo si Sleia nang makita nito kung paano maglakad si Alice. She is way to sloppy and look weak. Hindi niya hahayaan itong di matuto. Kapag may nakitang pagbabago sa kaniya at medyo mahina ang loob niya or lalampa-lampa, she will be prone to be bullied in the Montreal family's eyes. She don't want Alice to be bullied by anyone in the Montreal Family habang nakiki-switch place pa sila. She swear, once she's back, she'll break their necks.

"Alice, it was not my walk. It was so lousy. Sleia don't walk like a weak duck." Nakakunot-noong saad ni Sleia habang hinahabaan ang pasensya.

May hawak pa siyang isang ruler na animo'y instructor ng isang modeling company to train models.

Napalunok na lamang ng laway si Alice. The Sleia she is looking for is so strict yet she knows that this kind of switch plan must work on.

Kailangan niyang mag-todo effort. It was the first favor her Ate Sleia ask, ayaw niya itong biguin.

Walk and walk and just walk, walk and walk again and again.

Hindi na namalayan ni Alice na nakuha na nito ang tamang lakad ni Sleia just like what her Ate taught her.

"Bravo, bravo. It was amazingly perfect walk of mine. It my normal walk pero wag ka munang matuwa Alice dahil ituturo ko naman ang signature walk ko lalo na kung may pasabog akong entrada or exits." Mahabang wika ni Sleia habang kitang-kita kung paano mawala ang ngiti sa mukha ni Alice.

"Again?" Tanging naisambit ni Alice sa kakambal nito.

"Wait, that my line honey. You must obey me and cooperate because I know myself and I don't want you to be the sidekick of Montreal Family soon." Seryosong saad ni Sleia in her strict voice.

Alice just rolled her eyes. Magagantihan niya din ang kakambal niya kapag siya ang magtuturo mamaya. Tingnan lang natin. Ngising demonyo naman ang madumi niyang utak sa naiisip niyang madilim na ideyang hindi ikatutuwa ng istriktang si Sleia.

Again!

Not that one honey!

Yow, it look exaggerated Alice!

Wait, it lousy!

Not that one!

Back to the top!

Alice feels tired the whole time around. This kind of training is hellish. All throughout this kind of switching is so difficult.

Sa gesture, the way he talks and walks is so difficult and strict. Minsan natitisod pa siya nang magsuot ito ng iba't-ibang inches ng mga sapatos just to practice. Buti di siya nabalian pero masakit kapag natatapilok siya. Feeling niya ay matutusok siya ng matataas na takong but thankfully she succeeded.

Binigyan kasi siya ng tips ng Ate Sleia niya and that's why she use the smaller inch of heels of the shoe to the larger inches kaya siguro nakuha niya sa huli kung paano dumala ng kahit na anumang klaseng sapatos.

Nahiya siya sa shoe collections ni Ate Sleia niya dahil di lang maganda kundi mabigat din sa bulsa ng sinuman ang presyo nito kung kaya't isa din itong motivation para hindi niya aksidenteng magasgasan ang mga ito. Jusko, ang mamahal pa naman at ayaw niyang siya makasira noh, sobrang sayang kasi.

Even how she use expensive fans, handkerchief bags and so on ay talagang tinuro ng kakambal niya sa kaniya. She's very kin and meticulous lalo na sa konting pagkakamali niya.

Medyo nahirapan talaga siya sa paggamit ng mga pangkain like thongs, spoons and even forks and knives.

This is really for a great dinner or a fmaily occasion/ gatherings. It was on the top list na dapat niyang malaman.

Sleia patiently teach her to do the right way or Sleia's way of eating.

Ang mamahal sobra ng mga gamit na pinapagamit sa training na ito. Jusko, yung iba nga ay milyon-milyon ang halaga like those very expensive/ luxurious bags from different international brands. Nagmumukha siyang poorita dito.

Trademark niya talaga ang pagiging mahirap. Nahiya siyang hawakan ang mga gamit dito sa condo ng kapatid niya. Yung iba kasi may pricetag pa jusko, naisip niyang nakawin eh pero joke lang yun. Goodgirl siya ngayon pero baka magbago isip niya mamaya.

Ang medyo nahirapan talaga siya ay ang labanan sa englishan. Walang binatbat ang american accent niya sa mala-british accent na may pagka-scottish accent ng kakambal niya. It was way to difficult kahit na favorite niya yung english subject.

Wait, parang mali!

It's not a high tone honey!

Alice, it's not the way to pronounce that word!

No, repeat again from the start!

Okay, medyo kuha na pero it's not getting there!

Jusko Alice naman, itikab mo mabuti yung bibig mo!

That very wrong, you can't slay like that!

Halos marindi si Alice sa matinis na boses ng kapatid niyang ito. Kakambal pa ba niya ito? Super strict nito masyado. Dito siguro magkakasubukan ng pasensya nila ang kakambal niya.

Paano ba naman ay masyadong nag-iinarte itong english spokening ng Ate Sleia niya. She didn't approve a standard way of speaking dahil di siya iyon which is alam naman niya.

Lumaking nag-iinarte kasi itong bibig ng Ate Sleia niya kaya it must be in a slay way or the perfect pitch she pronounce the word.

Kahit bag nga ay tila beyg ang pagpronounce. Jusko, tila nataranta ang dila niya sa aggressive way of pronunciation na ito na mukhang ikakawala ng laway niya.

It was pass 10 already in the evening nang matapos sila sa session na ito. Pero ngarag na ata at manhid ang bibig niya dahil sa englishing na ginawa nila.

Buti at nakapag-dinner sila kanina kaya busog ang mga bulate niya sa loob ng tiyan niya. Pasado na siya sa lahat pero she have to practice it everyday to become ready.

Lupaypay siyang nakahiga sa kama niya. Buti na lamang at dito lang sa condo sila nagtraining kundi baka tulo laway siyang bumabiyahe ngayon.

"Be ready tomorrow Ate Sleia. Ako naman this time hmmp!" Saad ni Alice habang mabilis itong nakatulog.

It was tiring day for her. Deserve niya sigurong magpahinga sa hellish Training niya bilang bagong Sleia Miraly Montreal soon.

...

Sleia go to her sisters room. Alam niyang napagod ito ng husto. Medyo nakaramdam siya ng awa rito pero napangiti siya ng makita itong tulog na tulog.

She doesn't deserve this but she have to do it. She will do everything to protect her.

Medyo nakaramdam talaga siya ng guilt lalo pa't training kung training ang ginawa niya rito buong araw. Breakfast, lunch and dinner lang ata ang pahinga nila but they do it successfully.

Sleia believes her twin sister's capabilities. Alam niyang she deserves the life she has as Sleia Miraly Montreal.

If not what their Family's tradition ay noon pa ay naging isang Montreal na rin ang kakambal niya but it's not a fairytale family to begin with. She even wish that she is not part of this royal family to begin with. Parang profession nalang talaga ang functions ng bawat kaedaran niyang miyembro ng pamilyang ito, business lang talaga ang lahat ng ito.

Kahit nga family gatherings ay nagmukhang International Gala dahil sa pabonggahan at payamanan ng kasuotan o mga luxury items. This is really not her but she must do her obligations as a one of the future heiress. They are the future of Montreal Family or Montreal Empire dahil business lang naman ang lahat ng ito. Useless people are not even allowed.

Minsan gusto niyang isipin kung ano ba talaga ang purpose nila rito. Dad is so good and even wanted to leave this family but those older guys in the kind of family didn't allow it.

Dad don't want to lose their fortune. Once they leave, their lives will be miserable. She guess Alice must live on how she is. Di niya nga alam kung kailan nila matatakpan ang katauhan o existence nito pero gagawin niya ang lahat ng kaya niyang gawin para mabuhay ito.

Lumabas na siya ng kwarto ni Alice. Ayaw niyang istorbohin ito. Pumunta na rin siya sa kwarto niya to sleep as well. Bukas ay turn niya naman to be teach in Alice way. Di naman siguro nitong balak na pahirapan siya diba?!
