I stand straight in front of the mirror nervously. I couldn't help it but my heart kept racing. I exhaled and inhaled to calm myself.

This is the day I'm going to pretend. I'm checking myself in the mirror. I looked like Helena right now. My face was caked with makeup in the right places. Thanks to the hairextension,my hair is now wavyand long. My lips are as red as blood. And I put on a color brown contact lens.

I feel like I can't breathe because of my tight dress, it is above the knee. Honestly speaking I had a voluptuous body unlike her, she was slim but sexy. But I'm trying to lose weight, that's why I am on a diet right now. Though Helena didn't pay attention to our body differences, I still want to lose weight.

"I already called the driver, his name is Max. He will come here to pick you up and please act normal. You're too obvious."

I almost jumped when I heard Helena's voice. I didn't notice her when she entered the room. He handed me the luggage, and I frowned. I wonder why I need to bring the luggage. She looks at me as if she read what's on my mind.

"I will not be around in 2 months," she said and cleared her throat. She did not meet my eyes, as if she was hiding something and it seemed that she was afraid that I would discover the truth.

When she didn't hear me say anything, she looked at me.

"I will stay here and hide. Max will come later, call me if you need anything."

I nodded. I was nervous and Helena always reminded me that I should act naturally.

"Do I look fine? Are you sure they will not know that I am not the real Helena?" I ask worriedly.

She shook her head. "Don't worry, no one will suspect you. Trust me on that." She said and grinned.

I exhaled and walked to the bed, my feet were shaking, and I tried not to stumble. I sit on the bed sighing. I heard Helena giggle. I glared at her, she just smirked and stared at me amused.

A few minutes later we heard a knock on the door. My lips formed a big letter O. And my heart started beating so fast.

Okay relax Savannah, you can do it! I encouraged myself.

I look at Helena, she looks so calm. She gestured her head saying that I needed to open the door now.

"How about you?" I asked her in a whisper.

She rolled her eyes and turned her back, she walked gracefully to the bathroom. "Don't worry about me. I definitely, enjoy my freedom."

I nervously opened the door and I saw a middle-aged man. He was tall and a fine man, his gray hair looked appealing for his age. He smiled at me politely. He wears a three-piece black suit. He looked so formal.

"Good evening, ma'am, are your things ready?" he asked politely. I forced a smile on my lips.

"I-yes. Can you wait for a minute? I will get my things." I noticed unpredictable emotions flash in his eyes, but they disappeared in an instant.

I close the door slowly; afraid I might close the door rudely. I hurriedly went to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Helena, I will go now," I said goodbye in a whisper. I don't know why I felt emotional, I wanted to cry.

She never answered. I sighed and let her be. I get my luggage and my shoulder bag. And then I slowly walk to the door.

I opened the door and saw Max still standing in front of me. I smiled awkwardly; he didn't move from where he was. "Let's go."

"Your luggage, ma'am," he said in a monotonous tone. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at the luggage I was holding.

"My luggage? What's the matter?" I ask him because I can't see a problem with my luggage. I saw him frown as if he didn't understand me. My heart started pounding again when he looked dead at me awkwardly. He cleared his throat.
