❇Introduction❇

Life was so unfair to me.
My marriage to the Personal Assistant in Business Management of the Duke of England was sweet at first but it turned sour when I underwent three miscarriages so far that he considered adoption to keep his social status and suppress pressures from his mother.

My mother in law loved me so much during the first two years of my marriage to her son.
But when she stumbled over the whole miscarriage thing, she thought I was a witch and showed me the other side of her.

We were having breakfast one morning and I crossed my hand over to get myself an extra egg sauce so by mistake I spilled the sauce on my mother in law. She lashed out and got the best of me.

"I'm so sorry, mother", I uttered in fear because it seems like she's been waiting for this opportunity to come.

"Who's your mother?!", she fired. "Do you know how much I bought this dress?! You've ruined my day already!!...", she kept on ranting to win her son over to support her,"I had a plan to win over my friends again since you've brought me bad luck of not allowing me to be called a grandmother!!--".

At this point, I got the message, she was referring to my childlessness. I couldn't take it anymore and ran out of the dinning room as unknown to me,tears flowed down my cheeks. I ran into the room adjacent my husband and I's room and cried my life out. I could hear my husband telling his mother to stop throwing words at me.

Months later, my husband and I considered going for checkup as I felt general body weakness, missing my flow for two months now. Then I became worried.

~At Boston City Hospital ~

My husband and I went to the hospital for my medical check up. I love the fact that he never supported his mother in all her cruelty towards me.

I really couldn't blame her for her attitude but it was desperation that caused it. She wanted to be a grandmother and my childlessness thwarted her dream. I silently prayed to God for a miracle, that was all I needed now.

We arrived at our personal doctor's office his name was Mr Rodney. He was my junior brother. The hospital was built by the Duke of England Mr Washington. He gave it out to Rodney as an inheritance on his birthday for Rodney's contributions to the development of Boston City.

Doctor Rodney laid me on the ward bed and examined me briefly and wrote down some of his observations about me. My husband became worried and curiously asked,

"Doc, what's wrong?".

"Nothing, Mr Sylvan. Your wife is absolutely fine. She's showing symptoms of pregnancy--", he was cut short by my husband's interruption.

"You mean she is pregnant!!", he said wildly.

The doctor smiled knowingly at him," Yes Mister Sylvan. Two months pregnant".

With that, I fainted on the ward bed.

~Seven Months Later ~

It was October.

In a ward, a woman gave birth to a set of twins. Her family was overjoyed at the birth of the twins.

"We thank God for a safe delivery", Mrs Ami Perez said.

" the girls are pretty! " Mr Perez exclaimed. "they are my joy!".

"Don't shout so much, uncle. Aunty is sleeping", said Ivy.

" OK dear",Mr Perez said softly.

"Hey Grannie, can I go and look after the twins, I hope they won't wake up", ivy asked Mrs Ami Perez. She was Mr Perez's mother.

"Yes my dear. You're their aunty after all!", Grannie teased,ivy blushed and her mom chuckled. Her mom  Mrs Brie was Grannie's first daughter.

A nurse came into the ward,dressed in a smart white knee-gown and white cap. She had a pretty face and smallish figure. She was fair in complexion and had prefect teeth when she smiled.

"Good morning all", she greeted politely since there were many people in the room. They answered her with a smile.

"It's time to take the babies to the incubator room,when it is over you'll be given notice, thanks".

" Wait! ",Mrs Perez called out. She couldn't let her daughters leave her after all she suffered in getting them. She kissed one of the twin tenderly. She had a brown hair. She had some stretches almost shaped like the Scorpio zodiac sign on her right hand and was so adorable.

" It's time,ma'am ",the nurse reminded her.

" Okay. Please let nothing happen to my baby",she pleaded.

"Nothing will happen to her. She's safe",the pretty nurse assured her.

" Thanks",she laid back on the bed. She looked at the pretty nurse's badge Selena Brooks.

The nurse rolled the babies trolley simultaneously to the incubator room,she then discovered that one of the babies looked dead. The one the mother kissed.

Trouble!

" oh what do i do now? ",she panicked.

Fortunately,she saw another nurse passing with a trolley...

The other nurse was carrying Mr Sylvan's baby with the name Victoria Sylvan and coincidentally,she bumped into her.

"oh sorry Lillian ",Selena apologized to her.

" Its okay. Please hold this baby", she was referring to Mr Sylvan's  baby. "...I want to check out something really quick, I'll be right back" .

She rushed out of the incubator room even before Selena could speak a word.

An idea just struck her. Exchange the dead baby for Mr Sylvan baby.

"I've just found a way to save myself from trouble. I will exchange this dead baby for the baby on the other trolley" ,she giggled evilly. "And no one will ever find out what I have done. No! Not even one!" ,she promised herself.

She exchanged the babies and Lillian came back.

"Oh thank you Selena. You really got my back" ,she rolled the-baby-that-looked-dead trolley to its position and wrote Baby Victoria on Mr Perez's baby.

Selena wrote Baby Sabrina on Mr Sylvan's baby and Baby Katrina on the baby she approved was alive.

Mistaken identities became the order of the day...
