(•MISTAKEN FOR•)

Her dream had come true. Her prediction had come true. She stared at her sister, standing there.

Jarvis was back? Was she going to steal Newton away from her? These thoughts raced through her mind.

“W-what are you doing here?” Joanna asked, stuttering a little. Jarvis rolled her eyes.

“What do you mean, ‘what am I doing here’? Have you forgotten that this place was supposed to be mine?” Jarvis scoffed.

“But I married Newton, so what are you talking about?” Joanna asked.

“I see you’re already getting ahead of yourself. You’re even dressing like me now, huh? It’s only been a month and you’re already seducing my fiancé?” Jarvis said.

“I’m glad you remember he’s your fiancé, but now he’s my husband,” Joanna said, and Jarvis smirked.

“Is Newton in?” Jarvis asked.

“He went on a business trip,Why?”

“I didn’t come here for you. I came to claim what is mine,” Jarvis said, before walking out of the mansion. Joanna closed the door and leaned against it, trying to catch her breath.

Tears thr_@tened to spill from her eyes, but she forced them back. She was glad she had lied to her sister.

She started walking away, but heard Newton’s voice from behind her.

“What happened? Who knocked on our door?” he asked.

“It was nobody,” Joanna said.

“But I’m sure I heard a voice,” Newton said.

“And didn’t you hear me say that it was nobody?” Joanna snapped, her voice raising in volume. Newton walked up to her.

“You were just fine a moment ago. Now you’re acting like a grouch. You know you can always talk to me about what’s on your mind, what’s with the mood swings?” Newton asked.

Joanna embraced him, and tears streamed down her face.

“I don’t want to lose you, Newton, I don’t want to lose you.” she sobbed.

“Why not?” he asked.

“It’s because…” Joanna began.

“Because of what?” he asked.

“Because I care so much about you,” she said. A smile crept onto Newton’s face.

“And you think you’ll lose me? Whoever told you that is lying. I’ll be by your side, four eyes,” he said.

“Promise me that, no matter what happens, you won’t leave me alone,” she begged.

“I promise. ” he said.

LUMLEY APARTMENT**

Jarvis stormed into the apartment, chucking her bag on the couch with a scowl on her face. Her sister was really starting to get on her nerves.

“How’d it go?” Rita asked, walking over.

“That silly sister of mine. I think she’s fallen for Newton, and she’s changing for the worse. This isn’t the Joanna I know,” Jarvis said.

“You mean she’s in love with Newton?” Rita asked.

“I think so, but I’m not totally sure, but what if she is in love with him? Does he feel the same?” Jarvis asked.

“You’ll have to find that out yourself,” Rita said.

“I could win his heart back if I wanted to. I’m a perfect seductress, capable of making any man bow to my feet. So, getting Newton back is a piece of cake,” she laughed.

“I trust you,” Rita said.

“And my first step to winning him back is…” Jarvis began.

FALLON MANSION**

Angel had just finished her tour of the mansion and was sitting at the dining table, when Mr. Fallon walked in.

He approached her and sat down at the table.

“Good morning, father-in-law,” Angel greeted him.

“Good morning,” he said in reply.

“How’s your health? I heard from Jimmy that you have liver cancer,” Angel said.

“I’m fine,” Mr. Fallon said, smiling at her.

“That’s a big smile,” she observed.

“Why are you acting so much like my wife all of a sudden?” he asked, teasingly.

“I’m your son’s wife, so it’s only right that I care for you,” she replied.

“You remind me so much of her,” Mr. Fallon said.

Angel smiled.

“But you could have treated your cancer, you know. Jimmy is the only family you have left,” she said.

“But now he has you, too,” Mr. Fallon said.

Angel stared at him.

“You act like everything is okay, but it’s not. Please think of your son,” she replied.

“I’m in the last stage now. I actually lied to Jimmy, and told him that I have a month to live. I did that so he would find a wife soon. But the truth is, I only have five days left,” Mr. Fallon confessed.

Angel gasped.

“What?” she said, her heart racing.

“I’m telling you this because you’re my daughter-in-law. I want you to promise me that you’ll stand by his side when I’m gone,don’t break his heart, just mend it for me. Don’t make him live with the memories of me when I’m gone. Fill his heart with your love so he won’t even have a chance to think of me.” Mr. Fallon said.

Angel wiped away her tears, trying not to cry

“Father-in-law!!. “She called.

“Promise me that when I’m gone, you won’t leave him alone. He has you now, so create your own family with him. Shower him with your love. Just promise me this, please,” Mr. Fallon pleaded.

“I promise,” Angel said.

“He won’t have any reason to think about you when you’re gone.”she added.

Mr. Fallon walked over to her and wiped her tears with his thumb.

“Thank you, now, shall we eat?”he asked.

“Sure.”she said

S•K•J HIGH SCHOOL**

The hallway was full of students trooping in and out of the school.

Piper entered and ran to her friends. Nelly arrived soon after and sat down next to Piper.

“What did I miss?” Piper asked.

“Nothing much. The teacher hasn’t arrived yet, now, what did you want to tell us?” Nelly asked.

“Yeah, what is it you wanted to tell us?” Movie asked, her curiosity piqued.

“Well, actually, Kiss and I are now dating. He’s my boyfriend,” Piper said in a hushed tone.

“What?” Nelly and Lovie yelled at the same time, causing everyone in the hallway to turn and look at them.

🗣️What’s the matter with them?” someone said, irritated by the commotion.

“Shh!” Piper hissed, motioning for them to keep quiet.

“This is crazy!” Nelly said.

“You can say that again, how did this happen? Did you use some kind of magic charm on him? Are you sure this is even real?”

“Ugh!” Piper groaned.

Just then, Kiss stepped into the hallway, and everyone’s eyes turned to him.

🗣️Oh… my… gosh,” Nelly breathed.

🗣️Kiss changed his hair to mind blowing brown again. My demigod.

“He’s looking right at you,” Lovie said as their gazes locked. Piper blushed when Kiss winked at her. A group of girls started swooning over him.

🗣️Senior Kiss!

🗣️I love you so much!

The girls pushed each other, fighting to get noticed by him. This made Piper furious.

“Looks like your girl is getting jealous,” Martins whispered to Kiss.

Kiss turned to Piper and chuckled. Then he turned to the other girls.

“You should all leave,You’re making my girlfriend mad.” he said.

🗣️Am I dreaming?

🗣️Who’s the lucky one?

🗣️This has got to be a joke.

Kiss made his way to the hall, aware of every pair of eyes that were watching him. He headed toward where Piper was sitting.

There was an electric charge of anticipation in the air, as everyone was eager to find out who the lucky girl was.

In a smooth, fluid movement, Kiss reached where Piper was sitting, and pulled her close to him. He gently brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, and faced the rest of the class.

“My girlfriend is a jealous girl, and she wouldn’t like to see me with you. She’s my lucky charm, and I’m lucky to have her. If you want to get to her, you have to get through me first,” Kiss said. Piper smiled.

🗣️Awww,” the class cooed.

🗣️Love is really a crazy thing,” someone remarked.

In the crowd stood Nelly, balling her fists in rage.

FALLON MANSION••NOON**

Jimmy had just returned from work when Angel ran up to him to take his suitcase.

“How have you been?” Jimmy asked.

“I’m good,” Angel replied. She was still debating whether to tell Jimmy about what his father had told her and the promise she’d made. She didn’t want to see him in pain, he would be so sad and devastated.

She decided to keep it to herself, because it was only a miracle that could save Mr. Fallon from the cancer and death. He had said he wanted to rest and meet his wife in the afterlife, but what about Jimmy?

She hoped everything would go well. Mr. Fallon shouldn’t die, but her promise to him…

“Did I really say I won’t let Jimmy think of his father when he’s gone? But how?” she asked herself.

“What are you thinking?” Jimmy asked.

“Nothing,” she replied, and placed his suitcase in his bedroom.

“Good night,” she said as she made her way to her bedroom.

“Good night,” he responded.

NEXT MORNING**

Newton stood in front of the mirror, admiring his dressed-up appearance. He was dressed professionally, from head to toe. He walked downstairs, where he met Alison.

“Sir, breakfast,” Alison said.

“I’ll pass,” he said, and walked out the door. His driver pulled up in front of the house, and Newton climbed into the car. As soon as he was gone, Alison hurried upstairs to Joanna’s room.

“Sleepy head,” she said, gently shaking Joanna. Joanna stirred and groaned

“Why are your eyes so puffy? Have you been crying all night?” Alison asked.

“Jarvis is back,” Joanna said.

“What?!” Alison exclaimed in surprise.

“She’s really back, and it’s driving me crazy. I didn’t sleep a wink. I kept having nightmares that she’d steal Newton away from me,” Joanna said.

“Have you told Newton about all of this?” Alison asked.

“I don’t even know how to tell him. I don’t know what to do,” Joanna said.

“First things first, go take a shower. Breakfast is ready.”

“Newton left for work already, right?” Joanna asked.

“Yes,” Alison confirmed with a nod.

Joanna got up, sluggishly, and walked to the bathroom. After taking a quick shower, she got dressed in a pink mini dress, which exposed her cleavage. She paired it with sneakers, and came downstairs.

“Are you going somewhere?” Alison asked, as soon as Joanna came down the stairs.

“No, I just felt like wearing this,” Joanna said, sitting down at the table. She began eating her breakfast.

“Newton didn’t eat his breakfast this morning. I don’t think he’ll have time to eat in the cafeteria, with how busy he’ll be,” Alison said.

“Then pack his breakfast. I’ll go see him and give it to him,” Joanna said, gulping down her drink.

In a few minutes, Alison packed Newton’s breakfast. She handed the box to Joanna.

“Thanks. I’ll be back soon,” Joanna said, rushing out of the mansion.

MOORE GROUPS OF COMPANY**

Newton was looking through some files when his door flew open. He looked up from the files to see Jarvis walking in.

“Hey,” Jarvis said, as he strode in.

“What are you doing here, four-eyes?” Newton asked.

‘Who the hell is four-eyes?’ Jarvis wondered. She walked over to him.

“Can’t I come and see you again?” she asked, her hand trailing down his chest.

“I miss you so f-__-king much,” Jarvis continued.

Newton chuckled.

“I just left the house some minutes ago, and you’re already missing me. How funny, Joanna.” Newton said.

Jarvis stopped her hand from trailing down, balling it into a fist. He might be under the impression that she was Joanna, so she could use it to her advantage.

“It doesn’t matter, I still miss you,” Jarvis said. She placed herhand on Newon’s face, and before he knew it, she was kissing him. Without warning, he began reciprocating the kiss.
