Her Husband (Complete)

Chapter 7

Anna POV

My head felt heavy. I felt pain in my back neck and my bellow belly. What happen to me?

" You are awake." someone talked to me. 

I opened my eyes slightly as the light blinding. Afer a few moment of adaptation, finally I can see who was just talking. It was a skinny women with white blazer. 

I knew her.

She is... 

What was her name? I forgot her name. 

" Where am I?" I asked her. 

" The House." she said. She helped me sat on the bed.

" Here. Take this." she gave me 2 pills and a glass of water. 

I took the pills and the water and then I drank it.

I looked around and realized I was in a room. The room looked like a hotel room, with a desk and 2 chairs on one side of the wall and a television next to it.

" The pills will make you feeling better." she said " Mr. Mason will be here soon." 

And I nodded.

She exited the room, leaving me alone.

After a while, the pills worked as I felt much better. The pain and the heavy head were vanished.

The woman came back with clothes in her hands. 

" Feeling better? " she asked me and I nodded. 

" Good. Now wear this. Mr. Mason already on the way." she gave me the clothes she brought with her. It was a red dress above the knees.

She helped me dressed and then she put a make up on my face. I just let her be. I still felt a bit limp. 

Her phone rang and she picked it up. 

" Yes David,sShe is ready now" she said talking on her phone. I guess, it was Mr. Mason called her. 

" OK, bye David." 

She hanged up the phone and backed at me. She asked me to sit in the chair by the desk. About 5 minutes later, there was a knocked on the door. 

" Come in" she said. 

And I saw Mr. Mason walked in the room.

He looked at me right away and I stood up when he approached me. 

" Mr. Mason." I greeted him

" Anna." he called and smiled widely as if he found some treasures. And then he looked at the skinny woman and smiled at her.  

" Your welcome David" the woman said to him as she smiled. Why did she and Mr. Mason act like that? I didn't get them.

" I see Linda had done her job well." he said looking at me again. 

Linda! Her name is Linda! I remembered her and what she did to me!

I grinned at her. But Mr. Mason was there. So I tried to keep my self calm. 

" Please sit down Anna." he told me to sat back on the chair. 

“ How do you feel right now?” He asked me. 

“ I felt a little dizzy earlier,” I said as I took a glance at Linda

“ But I feel much better now."

Linda grinned at me.

“ I believed Linda did that for the best.” Mr. Mason said. He took the seat beside me.

Did he know what she did to me? I think she drugged me and made me passed out.

" I know you’d been asking who you have to pretend.” Mr. Mason said, started to talk serious. And I listened to him. 

" This is the information you need to know about the person you have to be." he said, giving me a folder. 

I opened the folder. There were some papers, disk and pictures. I took them out and I looked at the picture first. It was a picture of a beautiful woman with red hair and hazel eyes.

Wait, I knew this woman! I saw her on TV many times! 

I was shocked and stood up immediately as I recognized who the woman was! 

" Mr. Mason.... Its.... Emilia Grant!" I told him, half screaming. 

Mr. Mason looked at me and stayed calm. And then he nodded. 

" Yes, she is Emilia Grant" he acknowledged.

" I want  you to pretend to be her." he said. 

" I.... I.... I can't Mr. Mason. I can't be like her. She ... She is beautiful... and.. and.. She is smart...I'm not like her...I'm not even close compare to her.. " I told him. It was true!

I was just an ordinary girl. I can't acted or pretended to be like her. She was beautiful and everyone loved her. 

Linda took a mirror at a sudden and put it in front of my face.

I looked at the mirror and then I looked at the picture. They were looked the same. Red hair with a heart shape face and a hazel eyes. Exactly the same. I aghasted at what I saw.  

I looked at the mirror and I held my face. The woman in the mirror held her face. It was me! The woman in the mirror was me!

What had Linda done to my face? 

I looked at Mr. Mason in disbelieve. But Mr. Mason smiled and nodded instead.

I looked back in the mirror. I held my nose. Was it really mine? It was my nose! I held my lips, they were my original lips. They were just the way they were!

Everything was just the same like I used to. The face shape was mine. The things different were my hair become red, my skin looked glowing and smooth, and my eyes now Hazel, instead of green. I held under my eyes and looked carefully. 

" They are lens Anna" Linda told me. She knew what I was thinking.

" It blend well Anna, no one will find out. Mr. Mason brought them from the agency." 

" Now, you know why I offered you this job Anna." Mr. Mason whispered in my ear. 

" We simply changed your hair and eyes color, Anna. You are already look like her." Mr. Mason said. 

" The rest what we did to you, just to made sure you had everything just the way she had." Linda said. 

They were right. This was all me, I just didn't realize I preety much looked like her. 

" But why Mr. Mason? Why I have to pretend to be like her?" I asked him. " What happen to her?" 

Mr. Mason held his breath for a second.

" Linda, will you excuse us." Mr. Mason told Linda to leave us alone. Linda nodded and walked out of the room.

" Anna, remember when I told you that you will save someone's life?" He asked me. 

" Yes, I remembered." I answered and nodded. 

" You probably already know that Emilia and her husband had a car accident." he started to explain.

" Yes, I watched the news." I said. 

“ It was like 2 weeks ago?” I said unsure. 

" Yes, you are right Anna. You knew how bad the accident was.” He said, assured me know about how the accident was.

“ Yes Mr. Mason, that was tragic.” I said as I remembered the news I saw in the café that noon with Josh.

“ How are they ?” I asked as I concerned about their condition after the accident.

" Ethan woke up few days ago, but he had a severe head injury. The doctor said he should not stress or get emotional, because it will make it worst. And that is the last things we want." 

I listened to him. Did he mean Ethan Grant was the one I could save ? That was why I should pretend to be Emilia?

" And we can't do it without you Anna." he said. 

I still had this question marks expression. Where is Emilia?

Mr. Mason sighed, as it was hard for him to said his next words. 

" Emilia... She didn't make it. She passed away after the accident. " Mr. Mason said. 

I was surprised and gasped. 

" I'm sorry. I didn't know. " I told him apologize. 

" It's fine. We hadn't told anyone. We didn't want the news to spread. Not until he get well. That's why I told you it was confidential. You can't told anyone about this Anna." he said looking at me deeply and held both of my shoulder. 

" Now, your job is to give his life back. Save him. Pretend to be his wife until he get heal from his head injury. " he said." You are the only one who could do this Anna. You have seen how similar you two. I am asking you a favor to save his live." 

Now I understand all this arrangement.

I might not know Ethan or Emilia, but I could do something to help him. He must had been suffering from the accident and knowing what happen with his wife would made it even worst. 

" I will try my best Mr. Mason." I told him sincere. Even though I didn’t know how to act like her, because I didn’t know her in person. 

He nodded his head. 

" Thank you Anna." he said meaningfully. 

" Get some rest now, we started your training tomorrow. Just read the information tonight." he said before he left me. 

I stayed the night at the house. I layed on the bed, reading the file Mr. Mason gave me. I read about Emilia's profile and everything connected to her. Her family, friends, husband, her life before and after their marriage. She  would be 25 years old in the next 3 months if she was alive. She seemed to had a perfect life, unlike mine. She bornt in a rich family and studied at expensive school. She had everything that all women would like to have.

Her parents lived in London, her father was also a successful businessman. That was a good advantage if her family lived in London, I didn't have to deal with her family. 

Emilia fell in love and married to Ethan. I read how they met to each other. I could tell it was like a fairy tail. It said that Ethan and Emilia first met was at a Gala party, when they bumped to each other. It was their love at the first sight. Only took 6 moths of dating until they got married. They were together ever since until the accident took them apart.  She had a good life. It was too bad that she didn't survive the accident.

Emilia and I probably had similiar face, but we had different way of life and destiny. And now I have to 'borrow' her perfect live for 2 months at most. 

I opened the next file. It was Ethan's file. Everything about Ethan life, family, and his childhood. 

Ethan is 28 years old now. He graduated business management from a respective university, and had started his own business 5 years ago. It seemed that he didn't want to have success under his father name, he built and grew his own company. 

His appearance was looked like his father. He was the younger version of his father. He had shining blonde hair, a chisel face with pale skin and blue orb. I admitted that he is an attractive man. 

His parents were Kathryn and James Grant. I knew almost everythings about James Grant, I had his biography book, and admired him. I admitted that I excited that I might met him personally more often. James Grant was in his 50 and Kathy was 48 and she still looked beautiful in her age.

Did they know about me and Mr. Mason's plan? Or should I pretended to them as well?

I put the flash disk in the laptop they provided in my room. I watched some of Ethan and Emilia's personal video. 

There were their wedding, their honeymoon, and their daily life videos. I figured Mr. Mason got their daily life videos from Emilia or Ethan's phone.

I was so tired after today ‘make over’, the sleepiness overwhelmed me, and I slept with their video still playing on the laptop. 

The next morning I woke up, and about to took a bath. I opened my clothes in front of the mirror, left only my underwear. 

I was shocked with the few in the mirror. During the medical check up until the tattoo art, I hadn't looked at any mirror. 

My body looked amazing, it was smooth like baby, clean and shining. This was what Linda did to me.

And then I looked at the tattoo at the back of my neck. It was a butterfly tattoo. Ty made a good one of this. I remembered Linda showed me this tattoo picture before she made me passed out.

I looked for the other tattoo. Linda said there were 2 of them. I couldn't find it. It probably hid somewhere. I was thinking to asked Linda later. 

I put down my panty before I stepped in the bathtub. And I found my 2nd tattoo there. It was a flower tattoo in the mon pubis area!

Gosh Linda! I could feel my face turned to red. 

I knew Linda just did what they told her to. I should exactly looked like Emilia in and out. And it turned  that Emilia had this tattoo in her sensitif spot.

But is this really necessary? I mean Is there any chance that Ethan will find out there?

I know he is Emilia's husband, does it mean I should....?? 

The think of Ethan Grant found my mon pubis tattoo made me gasped. I was so jittery and walked back and forth around the bathroom. Never thought in my mind this job needed me to do intimate relationship until now.

I never had any s*x before. I had dated some guys, not too much, but nothing serious and none of them gave me thought to had s*x with them and made me kept my innocence. 

The thought of having intimate with Ethan disturbed me. 

I slides down my head to the bottom of the bathtub to got rid of the thought. And it was failed!

I never had any thought of Ethan Grant before. Not before today. It must be the file I read and the video I saw last night. 

I soaked off the bathtub and took the cold water shower. It was better after a moment. The cold water cleared my mind. 

I stepped out and dried my self. Wore the clothes they gave me.

Started today, I only wore anything they gave me. The dress, make up, parfume, everything that Emilia used to wear. 

I started my training today, and Mr. Mason told me that today lesson would be to acted and to talked like Emilia used to. 

Mr. Mason introduced me to Patricia and Donna. Pat teached me how to be Emilia. Acted like Emilia, walked like Emilia, even smiled and laughed like Emilia and her personality. And Donna teached me about grooming, attitude and personal appearance. 

" A disguise isn't just how you look, it's how you act. So behave properly." Patricia said. 

There were many Emilia's habits that different from mine. Emilia was a left handed, while I was a right handed. Emilia like to tilt her head to the right, while I was not. I really had to get used to it.

And there were some habits that I should not do, because Emilia didnt do it. I tend to bit my lower lips when I was thinking hard. 

Patricia invited Andre, he was an actor. He pretended to be Ethan, and we should acted like them. 

Patricia said, as his wife I should showed some affection to him. Touching, kissing or saying love words so he will not suspicious. She teached me everything and told me to improvised when things were not going as a planned. 

I only had 3 days to learn all of these. Mr. Mason said Ethan was getting worried about his wife condition. They told Ethan, Emilia was in different hospital. And he can't visited her at the moment. But he seemed worried and that was not good for his own healthy.

He insisted to visit her. Mr Mason had to take my picture layed on a hospital bed and sent it to him. They planed every necessary detail, and I just followed them. 

Mr. Mason talked seriously with Patricia in his office this afternoon. I was waiting in the lobby by The House. Seated comfortably on the couch.

" Anna, Mr. Mason called you." Jude told me.

I nodded and followed him to Mr. Mason's office. He opened the door and let me in, but he stayed outside. 

" Anna, please sit down." Mr. Mason said. 

I saw Patricia sat in his receiving chair, and I sat next to Patricia. 

" Patricia said, you have a lot of progress." Mr. Mason said and he smiled proudly. 

" Thank you Patricia, Mr. Mason." I said. 

" As You know that we don't have so much time and Patricia said you are ready." Mr. Mason said to me and looked at me. 

“ Are you ready for this ?” he asked me to make sure.

" If Patricia said I'm ready, then I am ready Mr. Mason. " I told him. I guess it's time. Now or never.

He clapped his hands ones. Kept his spirit on. 

" OK then. I want you to get ready Anna. You will meet the Grant tomorrow." he said taping on my shoulder.
