The elusive Ka, who the police couldn''t find, was right in front of me. And it looked like she had someone kidnap me. Feeling my gaze, Ka, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around. "Awake, huh? You sure have a strong constitution."


    She looked at me with a smirk, and as the car jolted, I couldn''t help but retch. "Stop the car, stop the car, for heaven''s sake! I''m feeling sick!"


    I ended up throwing up thesagna I had eaten earlier.


    With a look of disgust, Ka dragged me out of the car and turned to the driver. "Did you overdo it with the drugs in the food?"


    The driver shook his head slowly. "No, I measured everything precisely. Could mixing the two cause side effects?"


    The driver was the same guy who had delivered fruits to me earlier. It seemed these two were so afraid one drug wouldn''t do the trick that they used two.


    After emptying my stomach, I got dragged back into the car.


    Eventually, we stopped at what looked like a construction site, and the man dragged me into a nearby metal shed.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    He threw me onto the floor, and Ka waved him off. "Go back and get some food. This woman is not dying on us just yet." She crouched down, pinching my chin. "Tsk, look at you, as thin as a rail. Pretty? Hardly. I don''t get what Clyde sees in you, so madly in love. Ha!"


    Ka''s face twisted into something ghastly, utterly void of color. She just had a miscarriage, and there she was, kidnapping me? I couldn''t wrap my head around it.


    Seeing I remained silent, she wasn''t annoyed. Instead, her smirk widened. "Why stay married if you don''t love Clyde? Why marry him in the first ce? But, lucky for me, how else could I have caught Clyde''s eye?"


    I looked at her more closely and realized that without makeup, Ka didn''t look as much like me as I initially thought.


    Since I met her for the first time, Ka had been deliberately imitating me. But who had put her up to it?


    I said, "Clyde and I are about to get divorced. We''ve signed the papers."


    "Impossible!" Ka suddenly lost it, grabbing me by the cor. "Mnie, stop lying to me. You''d divorce him? With your love for money?"


    "Haven''t you seen the divorce papers? He won''t divorce me because of your pregnancy, not wanting you to bear the stigma of ''the other woman.""


    I was incredibly thankful to Jade at that moment. I''d be lost if not for those melodramatic shows we watched together.


    Sure enough, Ka''s expression changed. "No, it can''t be."


    "The Patterson family can''t have a mistress as itsdy, so Clyde nned to wait for the baby to be born to silence his grandfather.. kept myposure. "You know we''ve been over for a long time, right?"


    Ka always believed Clyde loved her, which was myst leverage for self-preservation. "If you y your cards right, you''ll be Mrs. Patterson. Clyde loves you, doesn''t he?"


    I thought I had yed my cards right, at least enough to ensure Ka wouldn''t harm me.


    But then she exploded. "Clyde loves me? He never loved me! He only loved the version of me that was like you!"


    She was nearly screaming, and at that moment, I was stunned. The version of me that Ka knew was different from who I originally was. Why would she think that?


    Whileughing bitterly, herughter grew louder, then abruptly stopped. She looked at me with hatred. "Clyde never loved me from the start! I was just a stand-in. A stand-in!"
