"Three million Audrey, I'll give you three million just pretend to be me for six months" I bit my lip when my partner said that. After a very long time, we met just now and this was his opening to me. I mean I was really tempted to accept because we must need the money for mom's immediate surgery but because 3M seems to be too small for the size of the favor she is asking for. “Only 3M? With the size of the favor you ask for, that's all you'll give in exchange for everything, no deal, after 8 long years when you didn't show us mom, you're coming here just to offer me something like that? Did you think that what you are asking for is easy? And one more thing, where did you get the courage and confidence to think that I will accept your offer, right?" My long litany made him suffer. No matter what, he was so damned that he thought he could pass me his money. "Oh please, my dearest sister, I know you must need 3M, so don't act like that and just accept yourself because you won't be able to operate on your mother" Look at the shamelessness of this woman if she can speak you would think she is not Mama's daughter the pain is really bad with this witch's bangs why did she have to give birth to me looking like her my gosh. "I'm going to repeat it because you don't seem to have heard, I said NO. DEAL. it's not easy what you're doing and I'm a loss on your three million so just find another girl who looks like you to pretend to be you" I will stress because I know he won't stop me. "Fine name your price if I increase the offer will you do it? And I will only be gone for another 6 months, you are very choosy and all you have to do is to pretend and don't let anyone know that they are dealing with you and not me" I washed my own face because of what he said. He really knows my weakness. But it's risky because the favor he's asking for is hard because it's hard to be plastic like him, another thing is if I accept it there's no turning back and I don't want to be ruined because of his nonsense. But if I don't, the chance of survival of our mother, who is in the hospital now and sick because every minute that passes and she is not operated on, will decrease, the chance of her survival will also decrease. That's why I just held my breath because of that thought and since I have no other choice, I'll just do what Andrea wants. “Fine 20M I will do whatever you ask me to do in six months” "20 million? You gotta be kidding me, it's only a six-month agreement, isn't it, and then you're demanding 20M" How can I tweak it so I'm still the demanding one, he's the one who needs it. "Demanding? Can you even hear what you're saying? It's not easy what you're asking for, you g*ga, I'll get married for you and you still can't give me 20M? What if something bad happens to me because you marry someone we don't even know? What about Nisha and mom then? So if you can't do it, just find someone else" After saying that, I'm about to leave, this conversation is going nowhere because we're going to argue and fight here if I stay here for too long, it's better if I just leave and find a foundation that can help us and I'm wasting my time I to him. “WAIT! Go ahead and call for 20 million but I can only give you 10 million right now when I return half of it just please be my substitute for 6 months" "Deal happy cooperation sis" I know all this will not be easy but for mom and Nisha I will do everything. Even playing with the devil. I am Audrey Del Rio and this is the story of how my simple and orderly life became chaotic because of my twin...
