Wishing everyone the compliment of the season.

Sorry if you felt confused. Am sure I left hints along the way. Thank you for still reading though.

ABOUT THIRTY YEARS AGO

"Evening sir,how was your trip?, we weren't expecting you back today". The butler says. He was having mix feelings, he didn't know what to do. Nicklaus just slightly turns to the butler and arrogantly asks.

"Am I now to inform you of all my movements now Alberto?". The Latino straighten up a little scared.

"No sir, certainly nothing. It's just you don't normally come back in the night and midweek. I haven't given out the normal instructions for your return, Sir". Nicklaus just nods.

"Well I can damn do as I please in my house. I have had dinner already, am just going to bed. Ask George to bring my bags upstairs". Nicklaus started walking upstairs while still talking to Alberto.

"Is my wife upstairs or out with her friends?, Inform Nicolas I will be having breakfast with him In the morning. Good night Alberto". He usually does that, give instructions as he moves. Alberto who Nicklaus visit has taken unawares and also put in a mix. Chose his words carefully.

"Will do that sir, though am not sure if Mrs McCullers is back. Haven't seen her all night". Nicklaus just waves his hand and kept climbing upstairs.

The master's bed room was Situated at the extreme end of the hall. It was nearly impossible to hear what was happening in the house itself, not to talk of helicopter landing some kilometers away.

So, when Nicklaus arrives that night on a midweek unexpectedly it was the last thing Evelyn McCullers thought. That night She and Nicolas, Nicklaus's cousin were sleeping on the bed in the masters bedroom after having sex. The affairs had been going on for almost a year. The fact that nicklaus hasn't shown any sign of knowing has made Evelyn more bold to continue despise being pregnant. Evelyn who was nine months pregnant was bringing in the heir to the McCullers dynasty. It was a big deal to Nicklaus she odd to have known it.

Nicklaus who wasn't really a romantic partner didn't mention he was going to drop all things business for that week so he could be there for the birth of his first born child.

Evelyn loves Nicklaus, She just couldn't believe someone as beautiful as herself could be left alone for months without love and care as she deserves. She was always loaded with everything she ever needed, but her husband's presence. Also, Is not that Nicklaus didn't love Evelyn yes he loves her, but he just chose business and power over her and that was the mistake he was going to pay for.

Evelyn couldn't believe her husband would choose business first her second. He had money, he moves things without being present. Why he had to leave her all alone was too painful for her so, she decided to start sleeping with his distant cousin Nicolas who had also falling In love with her over the few months he had been leaving with them.

As Nicklaus was removing his tie he quietly opens the master's bedroom door to find his wife Evelyn with his cousin, Nicolas on his bed fast asleep!. Nicklaus stood their looking at them in shock. Though he was told by Ian his best friend that it was rumored Evelyn was sleeping with someone he laughed it off. His ego wouldn't let him believe it. He felt he was too good, rich and powerful to be cheated on. He refuses to investigate, he brushed it off and now here he was seeing them with his own two eyes on his bed in their room!.

It was too much. So Nicklaus did the only thing his hard angered betrayed heart told him. He moves fast to the shared closets, open the safe and brought out his pistol. As he was going back to the room Evelyn had already slightly woken up from the movement in the room. Nicklaus came back to the side of the bed stood there looking at them with a murderous look of despise. Evelyn immediately stood up in a panic seeing her husband with a gun. She started to explain herself then Nicolas also woke up due to the noise in shock. He quickly stood up looking at Nicklaus who was standing beside the bed where Evelyn was now standing pleading with Nicklaus to understand and not do anything stupid in anger.

Nicklaus raises his hand click the gun and fires two bullets straight to Nicolas. He stumble and felt on the floor. Evelyn screams and moves to try fight Nicklaus for the gun, but she was stupid he was pissed and she was heavily pregnant.

As she continues to struggle with him. He kicked her belly real hard with his leg then slaps her. she fell to the floor holding her stomach in agony.

"You devil's advocate! Who's baby are you carrying? Mine or his?". He knelt strangling her throat.

"I asked you a question. Is the baby mine or his?. Am gonna killed you for this!. How dare you sleep with my cousin on my bed in my house?!". You must died!". Evelyn was bleeding and in so much pain, but Nicklaus didn't see any of it. He was blinded with rage. Evelyn tried to talk so he could spare her.

"Is your baby Nick I swear it's yours, am sorry, am sorry please forgive me".

"How can you be sure it's mine you cunt?!. You are lying. god only knows how many people you have fucked so you can't be sure!. I will never accept this bastard child of yours never!". He stops trying to strangle her stood up as if thinking of something for a minute then spoke looking straight into her eyes.

"You are going to have the baby now!. You are going to regret ever betraying me I swear!". As all of that was happening Nicklaus's loyal PA walks in with his bags. Nicklaus without any doubt George would always have his back asks him to call Betty, their also loyal African American housekeeper to the bedroom. George obeys. He went and got her. As she enters the room to her right was Nicolas body, to her left was Evelyn on the floor in blood in pain with already forced labor. She stood there in shock, didn't know what to do.

"Move it Betty! come and help this whore have her bastard child now!. George guard the door". He nodded and left to the door. Betty hurries to the toilet got some towels and some hot water. Nicklaus went to the safe got everything in it. Then went to his cupboard pulls out everything that was important to him. As he was coming back he heard Betty telling Evelyn to push. it was just one more push and Suddenly the baby came out crying. Without any sympathy or feelings Nicklaus hurries back to the closet brought out different baby clothes threw them at Betty to just put for the baby. She did then she took one of the towels on the floor and wraps the baby. Nicklaus told her they were going to go with the baby. Evelyn was just lying down on the floor as if dead, but still alive crying in so much agony on the floor. This was her first delivery. She wasn't properly attended to, her lover was shot right in front of her and now her husband was leaving with the baby she just forcefully delivered without setting her eyes on it. She doesn't even know if is a boy or girl. Nicklaus is indeed as hard less as he has deem her be.

"You will never set your evil eyes on this bastard child of yours. I will give it up for adoption somewhere you will never find it. If you ever try to contact me I swear I will kill you". He was looking at her while talking with so much hate Evelyn knew he meant every word. she knew she was stupid to must have believed she could walk away with betraying Nicklaus. She was so stupid.

"The reason you are still alive is simple. I want you to be in pain for the rest of your miserable life for losing your bastard lover cousin of mine and your bastard child". Nicklaus just spits on her then turns and asks Betty to follow him. They left them both lying on the floor and walks down the stairs out the house.

Nicklaus asks Alberto and Betty to go to the car while he told George to open the gas then light the house to a blaze to make it look like an accident. He knew Evelyn loves life she would some how survive the fire, though she will lose everything in the house and will have to start over a fresh.

As the driver drove them away. George did as instructed when the fire started spreading through the house George also left. Meanwhile, Evelyn sister who was staying with her at the time had just woken up from sleep she smells the smoke as she looks below the house stairs she saw fire breaking out slowly so she ran to Evelyn's room to look for her. As she enters she saw her sister in pool of blood on the floor and Nicolas who she had warn her sister to end the affair with, was lying down dead on the floor. She ran to her sister first in a panic.

"Evelyn what is happening? Is Nicklaus back? Who did this?". Evelyn who was weak and in pain with tears in her eye held unto her sister Anna and weakly spoke.

"Am still in labour help me" Anna was confused.

"What do you mean you are still in labour?. What is going on Evelyn?. let's go to the hospital please. The house...the house is on fire Evelyn and I can't find Alberto or Betty". Evelyn who was terribly weak had to be strong if they were to survive this. Her sister could be a mess atimes.

"Nicklaus left with them with the other TWIN!".

"What the fuck?!, they were two?. They are two?. You never told me!. Oh my god!. Is Nicolas dead?. What would you have me do?". Anna was already shedding tears and trying to be strong for her sister. She knew Nicklaus wasn't going to forgive so easily, she had warned her sister several time, but she wouldn't listen. She is Stubborn and selfish like Nicklaus.

Evelyn just slowly nodded. Before she could say anything more the second baby began to come out. Her sister did what she could as she delivers the second of the twins. Anna wraps the baby in one of the towels Betty left on the floor then suddenly while the new born was crying they started hearing groaning sounds from Nicolas. Anna left the baby with Evelyn then ran to check on Nicolas, He was still alive!.

When Nicklaus shot him he was so blinded with rage he didn't notice the first bullet went through his shoulders and the second brushed through his neck. Nicolas didn't die he had fainted. Anna quickly covers his shaking body rang her boyfriend who lived a few houses away to come in a hurry. She hurriedly pulls Evelyn up and down the stairs they had to hurry before the fire reaches them. As Anna was helping Evelyn and the baby she heard firefighters sounds outside. The neighbors had called in. When her boyfriend arrives she took her sister with the help of her boyfriend to the car then directs the firefighters and the medics to the bedroom where Nicolas was. When they finally brought him out, Evelyn whispers to her sister to tell Nicolas to say it was the burglars who shot him when asks what happened.

Earlier When Nicolas woke up from being shot, the first thing he heard was a baby crying. It meant Nicklaus didn't kill Evelyn. she and his baby were alive that was all that mattered to him. So later when recused and Anna told him what Evelyn wanted him to Say. That it was all the burglars doing, it was easy for him to go with the floor. He could let Nicklaus get away with this. After all he has gotten evelyn and his baby.

That night Nicolas was rushed to the hospital and treated. Evelyn left for Anna's boyfriend house. She couldn't register the baby just yet, she wouldn't have Nicklaus finding out about the other twin.

A week after, Evelyn told Nicolas, Nicklaus had beaten her up and left her in pain to watch him die for what they did to him. He believed her. Evelyn didn't tell him Nicklaus had taken the other twin. Hell she never told Nicklaus or Nicolas she was having twins. She only told them both they were the fathers. She wasn't sure who the biological father was. She was sleeping with both men. One she had to the other she wanted to.

She had told Nicklaus being her husband he was the father of course, and Nicolas her lover he was the father too. to keep the affair going he had to accept she was having his baby to continue sleeping with her and he did.

Evelyn had also told Nicolas she hasn't slept with Nicklaus for years. She was just a trophy wife. She wanted him to give her all the attention Nicklaus hasn't given her in years and he did that too.

He did everything she wanted. He didn't know she was just using him. The babies not just a baby were not his, they were Nicklaus's twins.

A While after in the hospital, Nicolas became more calm. In his mind everything that had happened benefitted him. He could marry Evelyn after all. move on with life with her and their beautiful baby girl. They could start over somewhere. He couldn't wait to get out of the hospital.

After Nicolas was discharged, Evelyn's sister Anna helped them move to New York. Three months later they got married at the register. Nicolas got a job at another firm, Evelyn opened her first jewelries shop with the money she had saved and also got from Nicklaus mother. She hadn't any work experience so she started designing jewelries. Her friends at California used to commend her taste so she decided to just design hers and so she did. After what happened at California Evelyn swore she wasn't going be a housewife ever again. She put all her time and efforts in the business so after the first shop came the second, then the third until she had shops in different states and countries.

Few years late Evelyn had Aria. She didn't want to have another child, but when she finally had the courage to do a DNA test, the result confirms Nicolas negative as the father of paige. So Nicolas now had a child of his own, Aria incase something ever came up he would get at least a consolation in her. She hoped yet again she would get away with another big lie. that paige not being Nicolas's biological daughter will never come up. She was wrong though yet again. It seems Evelyn never learns her lesson.

PRESENT DAY.

"So that's what happened paige. Your mother betrayed me with my cousin in my bed in my house, while pregnant with you!".

Two days after paige outburst with her father she had left the mansion to one of their hotels. She told pru and Spencer to give her time she wanted to have space to think before proceeding with whatever she had decided. Her father used his resources to find where she was staying. When he got to the hotel he asks for a key to the suit he knew she was never going to see him as she said so he went up to try explaining what really happened. He didn't want to lose his biological child. If lowering himself was the way out. He was wiling to do whatever to have her back. He has hurt her and this time it went too far and he knew it.

Nicklaus loves his daughter. she was everything to him. Though he pushes her all the time. they had always fought, disagreed, kept malice, but at the end of the day she was his daughter he was her father. And they were also good business partners, they were brilliant together.

His daughter paige had always fascinated him. She was a combination of both his parents. His dad a half German was handsome, ruthless, arrogant, brilliant and bold while his mother was beautiful, caring, loving and stubborn. His mother was the only who could stand up to Nick McCullers snr his dad.

Paige, his daughter was both of his parents. Deep down he was atimes scared of her, but he always presented otherwise. Other times he was happy she was who she is. A better part of him. No, the best part of him.

He unlocks the door and enters her hotel suit. He found her listening to music while she was seated at the balcony just watching the view smoking. Paige knew it was Nicklaus her dad. No one had the guts to just badge in when she left instructions she wanted to be left alone. Not Spencer or her husband Akin, not Pru or even Betty Akin's mum. It had to be her father.

"What are you doing here dad?. Haven't I told you I never wanted to see you EVER again?". Nicklaus wasn't surprise she knew it was him before even turning to look at him. They knew each other despite each other.

"I just need a few minutes paige. I wanted to tell you what really happened. I know you hate me right now, but if I explained everything to you maybe you will look at it from my side of things". They were alike so when paige didn't talk he knew she was going to listen. So Nicklaus told her his part of the story. After he finishes paige kept quite for a while then finally spoke.

"Why didn't you give me up for adoption as you told Evelyn thirty years ago?".

"That night I left for Washington I was still mad. The next morning you were crying so bad and Betty was mixing the milk. The noise was getting to me I hadn't slept all night, so i forcefully took you to make you quite. That's when I really looked at you. You had my mother's eyes and finger nails and my father's hair color. I knew you were mine, but the fact that Nicolas was my cousin it could have gone either way so I did a DNA test it confirmed you as mine". Paige just nodded her head and asks again.

"You said you found out about my twin sister four years ago, why didn't you just tell me or her?". Nicklaus clears his throat and spoke.

"Ian who first told me about the affair which I refused to believe told me he saw you in an interview on a magazine about a jewelry shop. He told me you might finally have be fed up with me and was diverting your funds in another business without my knowledge so when I was in New York for that stock exchange bell thing I was called, he told me he had seen you again that day when I knew you were in the Dubai at the time. I wanted to shock you so I went to the shop with him as we entered there you were helping an elderly couple. I was pissed at first then I noticed your hair was cut shorter and it was a darker shade of your hair color". Paige just listens to her father talk. She never knew he notices such things it surprised her. but also made her proud. He didn't really show it but it was evident he knew her well.

"When she was done Ian called her paige and she answered. She then came and politely asks if we wanted something she could help us with. Then I asked for her full names she was about telling me when someone called my name I turned and saw Evelyn standing there looking scared". By now Nicklaus features had changed. he was looking the way he looked about thirty years ago. Just talking about Evelyn brought out the worse in him.

"She begged me to go to her office to talk. It just click, but I had to hear what was going to come out of her lying mouth. When In her office she begged me not to take her paige away from her. That I had the other one and that she did as I asked she never contacted you".

"I asked her if she knew you were two all those years back?. She said "yes". That she was sorry she hide it. she wasn't sure why though. She told me she had married Nicolas and he too didn't know there were two of you too. and can you believe that bitch?. Nicolas Doesn't even know paige wasn't his until recently after her dead!". Nicklaus hisses and sat down angry just thinking of all that, that has happened.

"Paige, your mother is the devil I tell you. I might be bad, but she is worse. I pity Nicolas, I use to hate hi., but now I pity him paige. the fool didn't die, she told me I had shut him in the shoulder that's why he survived. if he knew the truth then he would have wished those bullets had killed him years ago". Paige just kept staring out the view listening to her father. She felt so sad having come from two horrible parents. She felt happy now having to grow up with Betty as her mother. She still had questions so she asks again.

"Why did she name my sister paige and you named me paige too? I mean I know your mother's name was paige. Evelyn must have known you might some how find out since we both had the same name and the same initials?. I mean if she hoped to hide her paige from you".

"Good question paige I asked her the same thing and the whore told me something surprising. She said paige being both our mothers's names wasn't the reason per say that made her named the name. She loved both her mother and my mother ofcourse. After the death of her parents. My mother treated her like her own child. She was good to her. But the other reason was simple. She said paige was going to be the last name I would have ever guess she would dare use for her paige". Despite his anger nick had to bitterly laugh a little.

"She has a point there I would have never expected her to use the name. When I was looking at the pictures on her desk I noticed some pictures were of you. I asked her why she had your pictures after telling me she never tried to contact you. She told me she had an investigator find you. She just wanted to know if you were still with me or I had given you up as I threatened. the pictures the investigator snapped for her she kept them". The room was quite so Nicklaus continues.

"Am sorry paige I couldn't have you going to see her. I do appreciate that I had another daughter, but you were enough for me. I couldn't have Evelyn and Nicolas in our lives every thing was long ago, but I just couldn't have them destabilizing my life, our lives all over again. I know I was selfish, but for good reasons". After sometime paige final spoke up.

"Am an adult you could have told me. Despite our differences I could have still chosen you over her. She also betrayed me not only you. I could have still denounced her as my mother. What I want you to understand is am not only mad at you for hiding Evelyn's existent, am mad at you for keeping it from me the fact that I had a sister a twin sister!". Paige raised her voice she was getting irritated from just remembering.

"Don't you get it dad, we would have known each other. We could have laughed or cried with each other. I wouldn't have felt all alone all those years we were fighting all the time!. Akin tried, but he is a guy, he doesn't understand girls things. It would have been my choice what the hell I decided to do!. But no, you had to decide that for me too!".

"Do you know it was Ali who called also shocked like you thinking I lived a double life?. I didn't know what she was talking about until she emailed me photos of late paige engaged and dead!. I fainted dad. I had an attack then fainted. I couldn't breathe it was Sarah who found me I would have also died!.Can you imagine finding I had a sister, a twin through my so called vindictive girlfriend or whatever?". Paige hisses and started smoking. It helps her relax. Nicklaus who was seated just looking at his daughter understood what she meant. He felt bad. god knows few months ago when he saw the news of Paige's demise he quietly cried in his study. He blamed himself for separating the twins. He wished he had been more accommodating to Evelyn. If he didn't travel all the time or even travel with her maybe all this mess would never have happened. Evelyn was loving she wanted him all the time, but he wanted to succeed more. He and Evelyn both betrayed their daughters and now it was too late to make a mend with the second twin, he can start though with the first twin.

"I made a mistake I know it's too late paige, but am gonna try do what I can. Anything you want. Just please don't walk out of my life. I...I won't make it if I lose you". For the first time paige saw her father cry. She knew he was sorry.

"I will never forgive you for not telling me I had a sister, but...but we can have a civil relationship. We will see where it goes from there". She didn't even look at him as she said those things. Nicklaus was so relieved that was something.

He stood up to give paige a hug. He didn't know how to even do it because she refused to turn and look at him so he just gave her a side hug and a kiss to her head". Paige continued.

"We will be going to New York to pay our respect. I want to see her grave and say my condolences to her sister Aria and her fiancée. I have made some inquiry about her my self". Nicklaus was okay with it. Even if he wasn't, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Okay paige anything you want. Just let me know when you are ready and will be ready to go with you". Paige simply nodded and walks to the bedroom then closes the door. Nicklaus felt like he has just be excused by his boss. It felt wrong, but at least they had made some progress.

Paige had agreed to still have him in her life. he was going to be more patient when dealing with her from now on. He couldn't lose her no he couldn't.

The next morning paige calls pru and Spencer. She knew they were beside themselves. Their patience was running out. Akin her adopted brother had call her wanting to drop everything in Germany and fly back, but paige warns him. she wanted him there for the Mercedes deal. She had to have somebody from their company there since she and her father here In the states.

Akin was just a few years younger than paige. Betty was raped by Alberto who wanted her for so long but she refused. Nicklaus made sure he was left with broken leg and shoulder when he found out. He let him go with a warning. Should he ever try to say anything about his home, he would make sure he never saw another day. He knew Nicklaus too well to try anything stupid so he left quietly.

Betty later found out she was pregnant. Nicklaus wanted her to abort the child, but she refused she said she wanted to have it, so did she, Akin.

Over the years paige had noticed her father was lonely and he looked at Betty a certain way. He liked her, but he didn't know how to go about it so one day she drugged him and Betty. Before you knew it they slept together. The next day they were both in shock when they woke. Paige pretended not to notice but from there on they could sneak out and sleep with each out. One day paige just told them to stop sneaking they should just be a couple she was okay with it. She loves Betty and Akin and she wanted her and her dad to be happy they were lonely and they weren't too old.

At first Nicklaus tried to play it down, but he too knows he had started falling for Betty so some months later they got married and Nicklaus adopted akin. They were already like a sister and brother so it was easy.

Paige and Akin were close, but akin was sometimes scared of paige. Most especially when he did what she asks him not to. Now, paige had asked him to stay there he didn't want to, but he couldn't come either so he did as she said. He calls his wife Spencer everyday to hear about any news, but she didn't have any still. Now though, paige had call both Pru her best friend and also personal assistant, and Spencer her best friend, sister in law and lawyer of the company to talk.

Paige sat in the living room waiting for them. She couldn't understand how in the world she didn't know she had a sister, a twin and nobody had ever said anything then paige remembers one time she was working with doctors without borders and one of her colleague told her he have met her on the plane before. She said no she would have remembered. He told her that they had watched a move 'the judge' on the plane and they both cried. Paige laughed it off because she had never watched the movie. Now she realizes it was her twin. She had to be soft paige thought to herself.

Suddenly there were knocks on the door. She opens it and her two best friends hug her. They held each other then paige walks back to the suit. She just brought the papers she had and gave to her friends. She handed it to them and they both went through it together while paige brought out some soda for them. She sat down at the extreme end of the sitting room and waited for them to finish. They did then looks up at paige. As usual Spencer started first.

"I have been trying to understand how it is there were two of you and we never knew!. I mean one of you is already a handful, but two?. We would never have survived it". The room became quite pru was looking at Spencer like "what the hell". Before she could even say it out loud or apologize on behalf of Spencer, paige burst out laughing. Spencer and pru look at each other then started laughing. Spencer has done the magic. She had defused the tension in the room now they could talk as friends not colleagues its much better.

Finally, when paige stops laughing she had tears in her eyes.

"I know what you are doing spence, thank you I needed it". Spenser just got up went and hugs paige then gave her a kiss.

"Anytime batman, anytime". She walks back and sat down near pru.

Pru who was going through the papers once more looks up at paige.

"She did all her education in New York. She read business in Harvard and her masters in cooperate finance and investment in Cornell university. while you did your high school in a boarding school with Spencer in Switzerland, your university in Stanford then Oxford in the UK, then Nick still sent you to university of Heidelberg, Germany again. You did most of your education out of states. No wonder you, we, were never in the same circle. You are a doctor by profession, but now the MD of TMH. She is a financier by profession, but she was the MD of the Evelyn's jewelries. Both Paiges were brilliant and successful. Wow that's something B". Pru looks up at paige, but she turns away. Paige was emotional.

"It makes sense". Spencer stated looking at them.

"If you look closer you will notice both Paiges were nerds. They didn't have a facebook account, Twitter or even Instagram. They didn't socialize much. They are both sort of introverts they also gays. It was easy not to know each other".

"The difference i see is this one has longer and different shade of hair color than the other paige and two, this one loves the ladies too much to get really hooked while the other one was already engaged!. And paige have you seen the beauty your late sister was going to marry?. Maybe you should just marry her you know for your sister's sake and to save us all from that annoying ali once and for all". Pru just slightly hit Spencer on the hand.

"Stop it Spencer this is a serious matter please!. Gosh! You just have to say it didn't you?". Paige slightly blushes and just continues to look away. Spencer notices it.

"Pru look at her she has noticed. I might not be gay, but I know beauty when I see it. That girl is damn pretty pru. It seems all the McCullers have got taste. I mean look at me". Pru and paige laugh. It's Spencer she had to include herself ofcourse.

"Okay okay on a most serious note now batman what is the next thing to do?. Are you gonna forgive Nicklaus?. Akin said he was going to do whatever you decided. If you're gonna Denounce him he was going to do the same, you know your brother you come first that's after me of course". Pru just rolls her eyes and continue going through the papers.

"He had explained everything that had happened years ago to me. Am not gonna forgive him and am not gonna denounce him either. We will just see how it goes. Am going to New York with him in two days. Am going to pay my respect. Am not really in the mood for work so you both should keep me posted. Anything out of line I wanna know. Please if you can, let's keep this low for now". They both nodded and asks if they could go with her she said no she wanted to do it alone.

Two days later paige and Nicklaus landed in New York. Paige hadn't been to New York in years. The last time she was there was like ten years ago. She mostly handles the businesses of TMH out of the states.

TMH, The McCullers Holdings bought ran down businesses or hotels then turns them into a masterpiece. they have hotels around the world, they have shares in Mercedes through Nick snr, they have NGOs and charities all around the world, they're part owners of necter oil which mostly drills in the Middle East and Africa. They also sponsor doctors without borders since paige worked with them in Iraq and Afghanistan. Paige didn't stay one place for too long.

The drive to the New York cemetery from the airport wasn't long. It was on a Sunday there wasn't much traffic. As the reached the cemetery paige and Nicklaus began walking to Paige's grave. They already knew were it was. It's easy when you are rich, you can get almost anything you wanted without a bother.

As they reaches paige's grave they saw someone kneeling there putting flowers in the vase. Paige thought it had to be the sister, Aria or the fiancée emily or a close friend of late paige. so they began to walk slowly. as they reach few inches behind the person, Nicklaus loudly cleares his throat. The person raises up and turns. It was emily. She came face to face with paige for the first time..

Emily stood there at first in shock. She then closes and opens to see clearly. Then she opens her eyes again as if they were going to fall out. She wanted to be sure she was seeing correctly. Emily puts both her hands on her mouth. Just looking at them. Paige and Nicklaus totally forgot emily didn't have an idea a glue, who they were. Emily's breathing was fast she was moving back slowing in shock. Then paige suddenly understood what was happening. she starts moving closer to emily to calm her down. but emily was already loosing consciousness, she fainted. Paige quickly held her. Nicklaus moves closer to help hold emily to a bench down along the lane.

Nicklaus then hurriedly went back to the car to get some water while paige held emily. Paige slowly moves emily so she was seated nearer her shoulders to have better balance. she moves Emily's hair from her face to properly look at her. Paige just kept staring at emily she didn't even hear her father giving her the water to sprinkle on emily until Nicklaus spoke.

Paige collected the water and then sprinkles some on emily. she began to stir as soon as she saw paige she stood up fast and screams.

"What the fuck is going on here?. What is happening to me? Oh god am going crazy. Paige?.. Paige is dead!". Emily was holding her head looking for somebody anybody there to help her. She just didn't understand what was happening. Was she also dead?. Was she hallucinating?. She wasn't breathing properly. Paige just hurriedly went and held her from both sides of her shoulders firmly shaking her. When emily finally made eye contact paige spoke.

"Emily I am Paige's twin sister!. You do not know me. Paige didn't know I existed, I didn't know she existed until few days ago". Paige then uses her head to indicate she was referring to Nicklaus.

"This is my father Nicklaus McCullers. Evelyn McCullers's first husband". Emily just stood there stunned looking at paige and Nicklaus McCullers...

Next chapter won't be long.

Cheers!
