The Brooke's mansion
The soft clinging of glasses on the dining table followed by soft laughs and slight chuckles,the night is a lively one in the home of the Brookes , their daughter will be getting married to the powerful Reynolds Ryan of the New York City .
As the merriments continues , Mr Brookes sends Bessie to get Vanessa to the table .
" Bessie , get Vanessa to the table, she wouldn't want to keep us waiting besides this is the last time we would have such dinner again " Mr Brookes said in a cool but commanding tone as Bessie dash for the spiral stairs within a split second, she breathe heavily as she knocked on the door gently . She knocked twice again without getting a response , " young miss , your father asked me to tell you to come down for dinner " Bessie said in a cool voice .
She waited no response , the door was slightly opened and she heard shuffling sounds , sighing,she pushed the door gently as it creaked .
"Miss Vanessa ? " Bessie called unsure , she didn't want to incur her wrath this blissful evening neither does she wants to be hit ,she stepped into the room gently , adjusting her black skirt appropriately ,she took another step , her shoes making the click sounds as she walked .
"Miss Vanessa ?" there wasn't any response ,she proceeded to the bathroom to lock the tap as the water flooded the room ,she moved closer to the door only for her to see a drop of blood on the door knob ,she let out a gasp withdrawing her hands from the door knob ,the door went wide-open , Miss Vanessa Brookes in the tub of blood ,she let out a ear piercing scream she swiftly ran all the way downstairs her eyes bulging out as she panted heavily .
"Where is Vanessa ? "Mr Brookes asked pointedly whole Bessie pointed her hands to the spiral staircase before passing out .
"What the hell ? " Mr Brookes muttered angrily as he proceeded to call his daughter himself while Violet and Hailey attended to Bessie who laid on the floor,her face was clothed in shock , leaving the both of them wondering what she has seen that made her pass out suddenly .
Within three minutes , Mr Brookes got upstairs , he walked inside , the door was left ajar .
" Vanessa , are you still sucking ? , I am doing it for your sake , for your mother's last wish to be honored ,I do care about you and I'm sure Ryan Reynolds is the right man for you " Mr Brookes softly , sighing dejectedly .
" Princess , let's just have din........." His Statement was cut short when he saw a drop of blood by the bed stand , looking underneath,he saw a kitchen knife , soaked with blood,his heart began to race faster as the followed the print of blood , on the floor which led to the bathroom which was wide open , he let out a loud gasp as his bulged out on seeing the sight ,he called her name in a loud voice " Vanessa " tears stung his eyes as the rest downstairs climbed upstairs to see the disheartening sight while Mr Brookes sank onto the floor weakly ,he was doomed .
No , he couldn't loose both Vanessa and the deal , he stood upright instantly and walked out of the room , while the rest trooped out visibly shaken by the sight seen as the evening continued in silence while the maids cleared the dining room and retired to their rooms .
★ Brooke's room ★
Mr Brookes paced round the room , sweating profusely while Mrs Brookes sat gracefully on the couch grinning like a Cheshire cat before speaking , "you have nothing to worry about Williams ,I mean your ......" Sloan barely completed her statement as Mr Brookes interrupted her ,
"What do you mean I have nothing to worry about Madame , I just lost my daughter and the only person who reminds so well of Emilia and you are saying I should not worry ? " He rasped as Sloan furrowed her brows , despite having her he hasn't completely gotten over his first and late love , she felt a sudden rush of hatred surge through but hating on the dead amounts nothing , sighing softly she rose and walked up to her pacing husband placing her hands on his shoulder patting his back soothingly .
"Are you going to let go of the contract ? , You know this is a rare opportunity and if you don't accept it soon we would be going bankrupt , why don't you calm down so we can think through " Sloan suggested softly placing emphasis on each word she spoke .
" Sloan ,we had gained this contract with the hope of Ryan Reynolds and Vanessa getting married but we are going to loose it unfortunately because she is gone " Williams said as he sat on the floor wearily .
" you can not lose that contract just because she is gone we have to do something about it right away " Sloan rasped as Williams furrowed his brows , " we are calling off the wedding ,the bride to be is no more and that also goes to the contract as well " he added as Sloan nodded her head negatively ,
" You can not make such a mistake ,I won't allow you making such mistake ,you are not calling off the wedding , Do you know how many billions of dollars we are talking about and you want to call off the contract ? " Sloan asked raising her voice .
" Then what do you want me to do ?" Mr Williams yelled in response as his wife folded her arms under her breast before replying .
" The press and no one except this household should be aware of Vanessa's death " Sloan stated as Mr Williams gave her a 'what do you mean look ? ' while she nodded her head affirmatively .
" You heard me right Williams ,the press shouldn't be informed and don't call off the wedding also " she added as Mr Brookes nodded his head fiercely ...
" Have you finally gone nuts Sloan ? Just hear yourself , how do you intend to keep the news away from the press when the wedding is tomorrow ? Besides where is the bride ? " Williams asked demonstrating dramatically .
"That's simple ,hire a Bride ! " Sloan said as raising her voice as Williams gave her a quizzed look .
" Call the surgeon to make a face mask exactly as Vanessa's ,we can't loose this contract and hire the bride " Sloan continued as Mr Williams shook his head in remorse .
" you should be worried about who killed the bride or if she killed herself like she threatened and not the contract Sloan , don't you have a conscience ?" Williams asked looking at her with hurts in his eyes .
" I am just trying to help so you don't loose both sides ,you can always carry out a private investigation on who killed her " Sloan said rashly as she adjusted her blouse properly before returning to sit on the couch .
" How do we hire a Bride ?" Williams asked while Sloan smirked mischievously ,
" leave that to me " Sloan replied .
Sloan picked up her cell phone and dialled the Doctor smith's contact and he picked up at the first ring ."Hello Mrs Brookes , good evening ma'am " he said over the phone as Sloan hissed hatefully , how much she dislikes this doctor " Good evening Mr Smith , how do you do ? " She replied courteously " I am fine thank you Mrs Brookes,I am very sure you can't wait to be a mother - in - law to the youngest billionaire in New York City , I hope he preparations are going smoothly ? "Mr Smith asked cheerfully while Mrs Brookes scoffed . " My anticipation shouldn't be any of your concern Mr Smith ,besides your attention is needed right away " she replied curtly as Mr Smith swallowed hard , "I am sorry if I sounded poky Mrs Brookes ,I hope all is well ? " Mr Smith said in a cool tone while Sloan replied a hmmm , " I would be expecting you within thirty minutes ,come with your tools " she replied oddly as she hung up without waiting for his response , Mr Smith
" Sloan ,what's the update now ? What do we have to do ? " Mr Brookes asked while Mrs Sloan let out a smug smile , " I already spoke to the Doctor for a mask , now we have to look for a person with the same bodice like Vanessa's , we would only teach her to walk gracefully like Vanessa does and speak with the accent and boldness just like her " Sloan said while Mr Brookes nodded his head ,. " Who do you think would fit in perfectly for Vanessa's role , we barely have 11 hours left " Mr Brookes rasped as he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead , despite the air conditioner in the already cozy room , he was all sweaty . " why not leave that to me Honey " Sloan replied Mr Brookes who looked at her for some moments before leaving . " I'll be back in two hours ,I have a meeting to attend" he mumbled to Sloan's hearing and left the room . " Violet , a cup of coffee right away " Mrs Brookes said aloud as Violet rushed to the kitchen almost immediatel
Violet walked downstairs tears streaming down her face , what would she do ? Who would she run to for help ? How she despised her life ,she opened the door to her room and sank onto the bed ,she laid her head on her pillows and let it all out ,that was what she could do . ★ Reynolds Enterprise ★ " Good evening sir " Rico , Ryan's driver greeted Ryan who just stepped out of the magnificent edifice . " Hmmm " he replied as he sat in the car before giving him a go ahead to drive . " Where are we heading boss ?" Rico asked politely ." Home ,I need to get some sleep , it barely 10 hours to my wedding " Ryan said tone less while his gaze never left the phone . "Tell old Nanny not to bother coming , i already had dinner " Ryan added while Rico replied a " yes sir " and faced the road , driving attentively . He couldn't believe he was getting married , a decision he never thought he would take such decision in time but it was high Time he took
N . Y CITY SPECIALIST HOSPITAL " Let me go , you fool " the elderly lady cursed angrily as the nurses chained her to the bed while she shook violently . " You had better let go of me , I will report you to my husband who is a soldier and you will be gone , don't you know the wife of whom you are speaking to ? " The elderly woman said as she hissed furiously while the nurse shook her head negatively , she finally held her tightly before injecting the syringe in her arm making the woman doze off instantly . Sighing tiredly ,the petite nurse pushed the trolley which held the necessary apparatus , she adjusted the window blinds and close the door after her . Brookes Mansion " Welcome honey " Mrs Brookes said smiling as her husband walked in, " thank you " he cooed . " What do we do about this ? Have you seen any person we can hire to act as Vanessa ?

" What the hell , she really called me a pervert " Rodney thought as he scoffed before smiling sheepishly ." I wouldn't mind being called that if she allows me taste her lips over and over again " Rodney said to himself as he sprang from the grass and took quick strides into the house .★★★ " Where are you coming from ?" Sloan asked Violet with a tone of anger in her voice ." Uhhhh m..... " Violet gasped looking back to be sure if she was the one who was been spoken to " I am referring to you Violet " Sloan said " Or are you a twin ? " Sloan asked sarcastically " No ...no ma " Violet replied in a shaky voice . . " Where are you coming from ? Are you planning to run ? " Sloan asked pointedly" No ma, I went outside for a little air " Violet replied coolly . " Your room suddenly turned hot as coal right ? " Sloan asked sarcastically while Violet nodded her head in disapprovingly . " Would you shut up your mouth you filthy liar , you are trying to ruin my plans and you
The night was blissful and in no time it was morning , Violet awoke with a rather groggy eye as she hissed painfully as a banging headache welcomed her . She had cried herself to sleep after the doctor finished fixing the Mask on her face. She walked weakly into the bathroom and washed her eyes to help reduce the effect of the sleep,when the door burst open . " I'm pretty sure you have never slept in such a comfy bed have you ? " Sloan asked mockingly while Violet bowed her head immediately " You have probably not had any bath in a jacuzzi tub,you had better not destroy my property you filth " Sloan said smirking ..... " Get ready ,the make up artist will join you in an hour and be on your best behavior else your family suffers the repercussions" Sloan said smiling cunningly before walking out of the room while Violet burst into another round of tears . " Why me ? Why me ? " Violet murmured brokenly as she sobbed silently, she put off her clothes gently and sl
Sloan walked out of the room furiously , opening the door of the guest room she signaled Violet to come out while she left slamming the door hard making Violet baffled as she wondered what pissed her off that she was this furious. " Get into the car , I'm sure you have never sat in such luxury before " Sloan muttered under breath to prevent others from hearing while Violet swallowed hard as she settled into the car while the maids helped her to gather the flowing gown properly before shutting the door gently . " Now leave and stop staring like morons " Sloan snapped at the maids as they scampered away almost immediately . "Move " she ordered the driver as she joined her husband , he drove out trailing behind the bride - to - be's car . ★Back at the Brooke's Mansion ★ "I thought you said Vanessa is dead how come ? " Chef Mona asked adjusting her apron above her busty chest . "Yes I did saw her lying dead in the bathroom in her tub and by the way
In the beauty of the atmosphere , Mr Williams Brookes and Violet walked arm - in - arm with a smiling face on while he led her to her groom . " Be good Nessa " Mr Brookes mouthed softly immediately he got to the front of the aisle leaving her beside the almighty Ryan Reynolds who was clad in a white Armani suit , his chin was was covered with slight beards and his black wavy hair was styled to the side , his presence alone was emanating a powerful aura . " Do you Mr Ryan Reynolds take Miss Vanessa Brookes , To be your lawful wedded wife to love and to hold, in sickness and in health, in wealth and in poverty , in many and in few till death do thee part " The priest asked " I do " Ryan replied in a cold voice "Do you ,Miss Vanessa Brookes take Mr Ryan Reynolds to be your lawfully wedded husband to love and to hold , in sickness and in health, in wealth and in poverty , in many and in few till death do thee part ?
