Book 2: Deja Vu

Justine's.

As I turned around to the other side of my bed, I felt a hard rock bump my head as well as a Whirlpool swirling around my stomach.

"Ah shit."

My eyes flicked when I tried to turn my body again in my soft bed and I felt like it was a perfect punishment for all the things I'd achieved in the past years.

"Fuck me."

I deliberately opened my eyes and I saw nothing as darkness occurred in my room. I flinched when I accidentally slipped my hand to my face, clearly to my mouth where it is busted and my cheeks are bruised.

"Mama!" I squatted back to my headboard when my door opened and these two knuckleheads ran to me. "Good Morning Mama!" They merrily greeted me.

"Careful children, your mother is kind of sored." I heard another voice and I was shocked that Emma was there but a redheaded woman to whom I am married.

"Mama, what happened to your face? Did some bad guys hurt you again?" Harley was so stressed as she realized that my face is somehow not in my normal phase.

"No baby, it's just... I slipped into the company's bathroom, that's all." I lied to her.

"You're always clumsy, mama. Mommy, you should help mama back to the big building." Harley stated a fact to my face while my son is very concerned as well.

"I will try to talk with your gauche mother."

"Elizabeth?" My eyes wandered when I realized this woman wasn't my wife, she was my twin's private teacher.

"I-I mean... Honey!" I forgot that I hired her to become their mother also. "Are you sure, you're fine mama?" Harvey asked as he checked the temperature on my forehead.

"I am, little guy... Why would you ask me that?" I nervously laughed.

"Who's Elizabeth, mama? Are you going to replace mommy?" Harley whispered at me and I saw Harvey get furious.

"Alright kids, I think mama needs to go to the washroom now. Give her some space and let's prepare the dining table, sounds good?" Elizabeth saved the bell and the kids caught that new topic.

"Yes, mommy! We will wait for you downstairs mama, I love you!" Harley and Harvey quickly hugged and kissed and fled to my room.

"You should drink some Advil if you're having trouble with hangovers. You might slide off our act to the children." Ms. Olsen reminded me and I nodded.

"Thank you."

"I like the way you call me that, Young Mistress." She beamed and it made me shiver. Fuck! I stood up and I also witnessed how her cheeks faded into the red. "Also, wear some clothes."

I looked at my lower body and it turns out I have nothing on my abdominal part, just a sports black bra, and a boxer covering my private part. "Shit!" I cursed and heard Ms. Olsen grins.

Today I decided to stay home since I am not in the mood to go out and my head is still drowned. I wore casual clothes and headed downstairs until my phone called, it was Inspector Alistair.

"Hello?"

"Mrs. Cruz, I have some news for the case."

"Speak." I stand still in the corner of the stairs and make myself engrossed with the caller.

"It turns out that someone rumpled with the footage." He replied. "It was a planned ambush to you, Mrs. Cruz."

"Ambush? Have you identified who might be the murderer of my wife?"
