The sauce kept dripping on my legs but I could care less about it, I was frozen on my place.
"What do you mean I'm acting weird? I'm all fine, I'm just trying new things you know, I was bored by my daily routine so I thought why not change it!" I explained,to which he simply nodded, even though I knew he wasn't buying it.
Soon after he left I began getting anxious, Kalix was getting suspicious of me, I was acting totally different than how Laurel was, and there was only one thing left for me to do, to make Kalix believe that I was Laurel.
And it wasto create a Ruckus, a big one.
Laurel had always been similar to a toddler, throwing tantrums when she did not get what she wanted and sometimes those tantrums used to get so messed up, that many people had filed complaints against her, but Kalix had always handled them, and in the social gatherings, Katherine did it.
But what to do? I didn't know, any step I take might or might not result very well, think Sarah, think.
Setting in a new house, that too all alone, was the best decision I had made since i was used to this, but the bomb that my so called dear brother had dropped on me, and had left me stressing over something, I never thought I would over have to.
For now, I had some other important work remaining to do, listen to the voice recorder i had found in the hidden compartment, maybe there might be a solution to this problem.
As I clicked the play button, there was nothing but silence at first, with faint sound of rain pattering on a metal surface, as if the recording was being done while sitting in a car.
And then it began as I heard the voice of Laurel Miller, quite similar to my voice that I had.
"Today is 23rd of January, year 2025.
I am Laurel Miller, the one whose replacement you are. I was a girl who had lived her whole life in luxury; silver, gems, gold, diamonds, I had all of them growing up, everything except for a father's love, and mother's warm embrace. To me my only family is Kalix, my brother. The one who looked after me when I was sick, stood behind me when I got in troubles, almost like a father.
Even when i had a huge social circle, my best friend was still him and him only, despite the huge age gap, I had never thought of him as a brother, he was always a friend, or a father –or even a mother–
A month ago, I had attended a grand ceremony as Kalix's partner where I not only saw the man of my dreams but also, got to know about the strange truth. A mysterious woman had talked to me, on that day, and told me about the how my unrequited love would end. Me dead? That too while I'm pregnant with my husband's child. I didn't trust that woman, and I was surely going to call the security when she took the name of my husband not only that, but said the exact same words I had written in my diary about him.
I was beyond shocked, to be honest it would be a lie if i said I am not anymore, because I still am scared, but gradually i think I will grab a hold of it.
To you, whoever you are, from wherever you had came, you had also known about my fate, about my unrequited love, right? I tried reading the book too, But I was scared i might die even before my fated death tries to take me... But I still did, but it wasn't how my life was like, my mom wasn't Katherine, and she did not love me at all, my father isn't a doting father either.
But there were many things that were quite same too. My infamous, rude, and mean self and to be honest i think i would've killed that girl who Cassian loved...what was her name? El...elosie, el.., yes Elodie, like who does she think she is roaming around a married man, but do you know what, more than feeling remorseful over my unrequited love, I am more sad about the baby, even if I haven't even yet gotten married to Cassian, I didn't think that I would be sad over the baby I didn't even had in this life.
I hope that you do set things right, even though I don't plan on coming back, I will be happy away from that house,away from my father and so called mother, but I will miss my brother, he has looked after me like a parent, he was there for me whenever I wanted.
There are some things you should know about me so you don't mess things up, Even though no one is actually going to sense it but I'm afraid what if someone actually does, especially my brother, you have to make sure that you remember these thing forever, don't ever forget them.
Even though my name is Laurel Miller, all of my friends call me Rosie, I know it's a bit cringe, but what can I do? Second of all, men all around me are only allowed to talk to me, sit next to me, but no man, no man is allowed to even look at me with lust, I hate that, and because of that I have gotten arrested many times for beating the crap out of politician's sons, CEO's sons, and many more and one more thing I am severely allergic to Alcohol, Even a drop and I get critically ill, my favourite food is red lobster, my favourite drink is mint lemonade, or hot chocolate, and my favourite dessert is Ice cream. And if it's a ice cream sundae then it's heaven!
You can relax Infront of everyone, like act like you want, I don't mean that you can eat like an animal or anything, just you can laugh, you can or you cannot make fun of people it's all on you but Infront of Kalix, you have to be careful, he knows me in and out, a single change in my behaviour and he instantly knows when I'm sick, I'm having mood swings, if I fought with someone, if a friend ditched me, anything new and he knows so you have to be careful of how you act in front of him...one wrong move and he knows... I think i made all of the things clear and about my mannerisms or behavioural issues, that's exactly the same as written on the novel, by the way it was good reading about myself like that...you know how I walked amd and smashed that cake on that Man's face who was body shaming his pregnant wife.... oh god that was so hot of me..."
Her sqeaul was so freaking loud.
"Please if you do get any chance to do things like that please do it for my sake.. my face will be all over the news and don't worry Kalix will look after it.
And by chance if Kalix finds out, about me, you acting different...tell him that you hate him and push him out of the room and if he keeps asking then slowly tell him and show him the letter I wrote to you okay? I won't be warning you about Katherine and my father because I'm dead sure, Kalix will protect you...
And I'm looking forward to meet you in person too, so I guess it's a bye for now and remember I have my eyes on you, I will try to help you as much as I can but you have to use your brain too, Doctor~"
