Salha + Sahla

• Identical Twins
• Age: 25
• Two beauties of Egyptian origin
• Only two daughters to a single mother who is suffering from cancer
• Top con artists making a living out of dumb rich folk
• Currently living in: Australia
• Current mission: Ibrahim Karim

Yes we are two bodies but one soul. The only important lesson in life is to never trust anyone but yourself and your twin sister.
Our main aim is to get enough money to give our mother the treatment she needs and how do we do that?
Simple.
Get as many gifts and cash prizes from our temporary boyfriend and then sell all we can on the black market.
Of course there’s strategy involved. We show the world what we want the world to see.
You see being identical twins has its benefits; one being the fact that we can both play one person.
To the world, Mariam Esmail only has one illegitimate daughter:
Salha (or Sahla depending on the situation and the opposition) and so we take turns to lure a rich boy into our trap then both equally benefit from the lunch and dinner dates.
It’s all rainbows and roses to be honest and the success rate has been 100% so far.
Yes we are constantly making and learning from our mistakes but the daft boyfriends we have had so far are too stuck up their own arses to notice.

The fact that both of us can present ourselves as one person without raising any suspicion is not to celebrate; the joy of it comes when we can pay for our mum’s chemotherapy and each time give her one more chance at life.

The guilt or emotions don’t affect us on our “missions” because our aim is not to fall in love but to extort money. Plus, it’s not like a few hundred dollars makes a difference to the rich blokes, they should consider it charity.

And that is where Ibrahim Karim comes into play.
He’s our biggest catch yet and we have to be careful with this one.
Yes he has fallen head over heels for Salha but he’s smarter than all the rest and better looking too. He has more links and connections but not in the black market so we’re safe that way but he can easily analyse the changes in people.
We cannot afford an oversight at the smallest of details otherwise game over.

Another problem is that he has become too serious with this relationship much too quickly; he wants to get married. And we haven’t finished our extortion quota yet, we’re not even close.

We'll have to think of ways to stall him for longer without raising question... But how
