Chapter Fifty - Six
Chapter Fifty - Six
Loney apologized to Mabel and thanked Paul after Danica left with her sister. However, he felt
uncomfortable with the two sisters being together upon the realization that Daniella had deliberately
messed with Danica's food. Nastier was, he knew Danica didn't want him to send her sister away,
which was why she deliberately requested to speak with Daniella behind closed doors therefore, he did
the unthinkable.
"Paul, I need the CCTV coverage to her room," Loney announced after Mabel left for the kitchen. Paul
was taken aback. "That isn't right, Loney. You have to respect her privacy."
Loney understood Paul's reservation. The CCTV was supposed to be for emergencies and not for
spying on anyone.
"Don't you think I do? I'm only worried because I don't trust Daniella. She messed with her food. Who
knows what else she would do. I want her out and yet, Danica won't allow me so I have to do what I
have to do." Loney was no longer asking. It was a command.
"You have to promise not to tell her about anything you hear or see. If there's anything to be fixed, it
has to be void of whatever you see on the screen," Paul said. He knew about Loney's temper. It could
be way over the top when activated.
"Can we go now?" Loney impatiently asked. Paul nodded and beckoned him to his room. Paul checked
his large led tv screen connected to all the CCTV footage. All rooms showed in tiny boxes on his
screen where he enlarged the footage of Danica's room and increased the volume.
Loney listened attentively to the conversation between both sisters. He wasn't surprised that Daniella
was trying to manipulate her sister again but right now, his heart was hanging. Was their love strong
enough to stand the test of time? Will Danica leave him for the sake of her sister? Now that he knew
the plan, he would know what to do but what mattered would be the answer Danica would give her
sister.

"Leave that to me. I will pretend to be pregnant and get the baby from you when it's born. Think sister,
Loney is a good man. I will never join a bad company and will be a good wife. So, what do you say?"
Daniella waited eagerly for her sister's response. Danica, on another hand, began to think carefully.
Daniella's final words sounded familiar to her. Too familiar. It was the same thing she said to make her
accept surrogacy.
"Let me ask you a question. If Loney lost everything right now and went back to being a nerd, would
you still love him as you claim?"
Daniella's eyes bored into her sisters'. Revulsion loomed in her eyes. If Loney lost everything, then she
would rather choose Jones. She still affirmed that she missed him. She never felt bonded to anyone
the way she did with Jones but Loney was richer and more powerful. What good would he be without
his wealth?
Being trapped with the question, Daniella couldn't understand her sister's motive for asking and
stressed implicating herself therefore, she chose silence.
Danica wasn't a dunce. She could see through her sister. "So, you would also understand the reason
why I can't go with your plan. You see, when you love someone, you accept them the way they are. It
doesn't matter whether or not they can afford the next meal. What matters is the potential in them. The
ability to strive to be better in future."
Daniella glared at her sister. Pain swimming in her pupil. "So you won't do it?"
"Never. I would rather die together with him and our unborn child than allow you to ever hurt him again.
Now, this conversation is over. Get out!" It was true. Her sister only cared about the money. If she
genuinely loved Loney, she would have accepted without thinking twice but she couldn't answer the
question. It made Danica's heart heavy that Daniella was still the same. Perhaps, some people would
never change.
"You chose a stranger over your blood sister?" Daniella couldn't fathom the dissatisfaction overrunning
her mien.
"Do you even know what that means? I guess not because you don't love anyone. All you care about is NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
yourself. I love Loney and I will stay with him. I will have this child for him and I will stay with him for as
long as he wants whether it makes you happy or not." Danica's voice was calm but the firmness wasn't
missed.
"You are so delusional," Daniella uttered between gritted teeth. "What about Jones?" She asked,
holding on to her last strand of hope. She knew that her sister would have a soft spot for Jones, seeing
how Herty had tried to keep her away from him. However, Danica response marvelled her.
"Jones is a good man but Loney is the one I love. I know what I want and I am not selfish," Danica
stated, matter of factly.
Daniella couldn't take it. The realization hit home that Danica would sacrifice herself for her but she
loved Loney too much to make him a sacrificial lamb. How could her sister love a man so deep to her
disadvantage? She would prove her wrong. "You will regret this Danica, I vouch for it. You will realize
that Loney is with you because of me. I will prove it to you" she threatened.
"Good luck with that. Now get out. I want to lock my door," Danica stood from the bed and tried to keep
her anger in check.
After her sister stepped out, she locked her door and went to Loney's room. She forgot having left him
in the dining room. When the realization hit her, she turned around to go and meet him. Regardless,
she bumped into him as soon as the door jeered open.
"I'm sorry I.."
Her apology stuck in her throat when Loney sealed her lips with his, as he wrapped his arms tightly
around her. Loney felt so emotional at how Danica chose him over her sister. He wasn't expecting it
and yet, he couldn't tell her he had heard it all. For the first time, he felt something he never felt before.
It was peaceful. He didn't know how to describe it but he felt he got everything he ever wanted from
one woman: Love, affection, joy, family, and peace. Yes and he would not sacrifice it for anything. He
will live and cherish it for the rest of his life.
The remaining days, they spent in more lovemaking. Intermittently, Loney would work on his laptop
while Danica read a book. For as long as Loney was around, she would be by his side. A month
passed and Daniella had found ways of getting close to Danica after a few visits from Herty. During one
of Herty's visits, she had met Loney and found him intimidating but she could tell that he loved her
friend dearly.
Paul hadn't made headway with Herty because he refused to follow her to church. Anytime he dropped
her off from her visit, he would lightly put his request across, only to be met with the same response.
Daniella had begun playing the role of a good sister and one couldn't tell whether or not it was for real
but it felt great. Loney has been busy for the past few weeks. He will come home late at night and leave
before the break of dawn. It wasn't new to Danica but she missed him so much therefore, Daniella's
presence was a great comfort. She felt that her decision to keep her sister in the mansion was the best.
The twin sisters had been watching a cooking contest on Danica's phone when the latter felt her
bladder heavy and ran to the washroom. A text message popped on her phone.
'I will see you in a few hours.' It was from Loney. A tsunami of bitter emotions swung Daniella. She was
about to delete the message when Danica returned. She took the phone and responded. 'Best news
I've heard in weeks.' A cute smile decorated her features.
'I know, I miss you so much.'
'I miss you more. I will make something for you so let me know when you are close.'
'Sure.'
The sisters returned to watching their program when Danica went to the washroom to ease herself
again. Another message dropped, I'm on my way. You can start cooking.'
Daniella responded, 'ok.' and deleted the message before Danica returned. Perhaps, it was time to
execute her plan. She hadn't been privileged to see Loney for a whole month because of his night
return.
"Can I use your bathroom Danica? I think I have my monthly flow."
"Sure but I don't have any tampons," Danica replied. After all, she had no use for those.
"Don't worry. I will get some in my room when I'm done but can I wear one of your clothes?" Daniella
asked, a sweet smile covering her features. Without thinking much, Danica said, "yes."
A wave of excitement swayed Daniella. She went to use Danica's washroom, having a complete bath.
She made sure to use her sister's shampoo so much she carried her scent. She put on Danica's dress
and used her perfume when she was done. She let her hair loose, the way Danica does. They looked
identical.
"I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat," Daniella said to her sister when she was done.
"Loney said he was coming over but he hasn't confirmed. Perhaps he got too busy but I will still make
something for him," Danica said, a good reason to follow her sister to the kitchen. However, it was
exactly what Daniella wanted.
The sisters went to the kitchen together. Mabel had gone to get some stuff for the house with Paul.
Amidst cooking, Danica felt pressed again but she also felt tired. She stayed awake watching the video
with her sister and also waiting for Loney's call.
In her situation, fatigue was a close pal. She excused herself and went upstairs to ease herself. She
wanted to message Loney but her eyes felt heavy so she decided to rest a bit.
Loney got home and smelled the aroma from the kitchen, right from the entrance. He stood at the
entrance of the kitchen and admired Daniella cooking, thinking it was Danica. Naturally, he stepped
closer, hugging her from the back.
"I missed you so much," he said, his head buried in the crook of her neck. A wry smile crept onto
Daniella's features. She didn't want to betray herself by speaking so she turned around and pressed
her lips on Loney's. He savoured in the kiss, trailing his hands over her figure. He realized she was
slightly thinner. Does it mean she hasn't been eating well or because she missed him too? The thought
was drowned by the hardness of his member.
He slipped his hands under her butt, and lifted her, she wrapped her legs around his torso, her arms
around his neck. He carried her upstairs, dropped her gently on the bed, and began taking off his work
clothes. Daniella quickly undressed and clasped her lips on Loney's again. She didn't want to give him
the chance to ask any questions. Her voice might betray her because she couldn't predict her sister's
response at a time like this. She held his hard member and pushed it inside herself without waiting for
more foreplay. She knew she had limited time. A frown crept onto Loney's face at the action but
pleasures soon wiped the suspicion.
Danica jolted from her sleep as if someone woke her. She looked around and saw no one. She
checked her phone and saw Loney's message, 'I'm here.' Guilt plunged her. She had left the food on
fire with Daniella. But why hasn't Loney come to wake her? Was he upset because she left the cooking
for Daniella?
She jumped out of bed, the swift movement making her slightly dizzy. She emptied herself once again
before heading out. She smelt Loney's scent and instantly he was around. She rushed to his room,
excitement and guilt brewing her.
However, she froze at the sight in front of her. She arrived to see a woman that looked like her and
Loney, both shaking violently. They had just climaxed. A bullet of headache hit her, she felt dizzy. Her
eyes turned blurry, her feet became weak as she sunk onto the cold maple floor.
