Day Fifty-Nine…
~~*****~~
Monica's na brought back so mories to Abigail. She rubbed her chin, trying to rember the details.
"I've heard that na before…" she mumbled, her eyebrows drawn together. After a while, Abigail snapped her fingers and she turned to her sister.
"Sis, I forgot. What is the na of Nathan's company?"
"SYP Twilight Corporation," Jane answered.
Abigail's eyes widened after hearing her response. "Wait. Is this just a coincidence?" She murmured. Abigail had a keen mory. That's why she was good at morizing her scripts easily. So even a small detail could trigger her mind to rember sothing.
"What's wrong?" Jane asked, looking puzzled.
"Sis," Abigail held her hand. "Ethan's mother died on the day of Nathan's marriage proposal?"
Jane bobbed her head. "Yes. Why?"
"Are you sure she died?" Abigail asked Jane expectantly.
"Yes. I'm certain." Jane responded. 'Because I killed her myself,' she added in her thoughts.
"How did you know, sis?" Abigail asked her in confusion. "Have you known Nathan and his girlfriend before?"
"Yes," She simply replied, not elaborating her answer.
"Sis, there is sothing I rember… and I think this information might be related to Ethan's mother, Monica. I'm not sure but I think she is alive…"
Jane: "..."
She was flabbergasted when she heard that. And at the sa ti, she was confused. How could Abigail say that Monica was alive?
"Do you know her? Have you t her? What is your relationship with her? How can you say she's alive?" Jane held her shoulders as she bombarded her with questions.
Abigail was a little bit surprised by Jane's reaction. "Sis, calm down first."
Abigail pulled her sister to the couch, making her sit. "I don't know her personally. It's just that I've heard a story involving her and Nathan Sparks. I just rembered now."
Jane looked at Abigail with so much intrigue. "What story?"
Abigail smiled at her and started to tell Jane what she knew and how she learned about this information.
"A few months before my accident, Dave and I went to Country R for a vacation. He also introduced to his friend who was also his sponsor, Vincent."
Jane frowned at the ntion of Vincent's na. "So you probably t Helena too."
Abigail's eyes lit up when she heard Helena's na. "Yes. I t her. Do you know her, sis? She's Vincent's girlfriend. They looked like a perfect couple!"
"Helena is so sweet and friendly. We beca friends right away."
Jane wasn't happy seeing how her sister grew fond of Helena. That woman was a good pretender and manipulator.I think you should take a look at
"I t her and she almost beca Nathan's fiancé," Jane nonchalantly said.
"Huh? Nathan's fiancé? Why? Did she break up with Vincent? When did you et her and how?" Abigail probed.
'Oh, Shit! I forgot. I was in Abigail's body when I t Helena. And my real body was still in a coma. Fortunately, my sister doesn't know about being in a coma for two years.' Jane almost hit her mouth when she realized her mistake.
"I saw in the newspaper and online news articles. I don't know Vincent," she lied.
"Eh, you said you t her." Abigail blinked her eyes in amusent. Her sister's statent was inconsistent.
"Oh, I an I saw her in the newspaper," she corrected herself.
Abigail just bobbed her head. "Okay. Let's go back to my story."
Jane stayed quiet as her attention was focused on Abigail. She was dying to hear the rest of her story. She had this hunch she might find an important clue because Vincent was related to Monica.
'Did my sister learn sothing about Monica's betrayal? But how co she is claiming that Monica might still be alive? How could that be possible? I shot her myself!' Jane mused to herself.
"One ti I overheard Vincent and Helena talking in the veranda of his mansion. If I rember it correctly, they ntioned Nathan who was left in the dark that Monica was still alive. And until now, he might have been suffering from losing her."
"Then they suddenly changed their topic when they saw . At first, I didn't know whom they were talking about. But in the morning, out of curiosity, I researched Nathan Sparks and Monica on the internet. I found out Nathan was the CEO of SYP Twilight Corp and I read the news article about the murder case of his girlfriend, Monica."
"The next day, I asked Helena about Monica. But she said I misheard their conversation. After that, I didn't mind it at all and forgot about it because it didn't concern at all."
Jane didn't know what to say after discovering this truth. She believed her sister's statent.
'Wait… my sister discovered a secret she wasn't supposed to know. Damn it! This might be the reason why my sister's life was put in danger. Don't tell Vincent or Monica has sothing to do with her assassination attempt?' Jane's eyes shone with coldness and rage. She clenched her teeth at that thought.
'If Monica is alive… then who is the woman I shot two years ago? Who is the person who died in Nathan's arms? Where is Monica right now? Does Veronica know sothing about her sister being alive and her whereabouts?' So many questions popped up in Jane's mind. She needed so answers. She had to verify things and confirm the truth.
'Where is she? Why did she fake her death?' Her heart was suddenly filled with rage. She felt like she and Nathan were deceived and had been played on Monica's palm. Who was the ga maker?
"Sis? Are you okay?" Abigail tapped her shoulder, snapping Jane out of her deep thoughts.
Jane held Abigail's shoulders tightly as she looked at her with a serious expression. "Sis. Do you trust ?"
"Of course, I do!" Abigail promptly responded.
"About Monica… don't tell this to anyone. Pretend that you didn't hear her story at all. Don't tell Dave, Nathan, and others. Understand?" Jane couldn't let her sister's life be put in danger again. The threat to her life was still there.
"Okay, Sis. But why should I keep this? We should tell Nathan."
But Jane shook her head. "No. You don't have proof that Monica is alive. We can't tell Nathan without proof. He won't believe us." She paused for a mont.
'But this information was very helpful to . With this, I might be able to nd my relationship with Nathan and Ethan. I need to find Monica's whereabouts and prove to Nathan that she is alive. I have to get close to Vincent and Helena… They are the only people who are closely linked to Monica. Maybe, if I find her, I might get the answer as to how she was able to steal my identity as Shining Star.'
"Sigh. Okay, sis. I understand. But I am wondering why Monica pretended to be dead. She is so lucky to have a cute son like Ethan and a powerful handso boyfriend like Nathan," Abigail expressed her thoughts and confusion.
"Perhaps… she doesn't truly love Nathan. She faked her death to run away from him, leaving Ethan behind," Jane said through her gritted teeth. She was furious. Monica was the reason Nathan resented her. This sa woman stole her identity as Shining Star. And she also stole Nathan from her.
'I'll find you wherever you are Monica. I have a score to settle with you.'
