‘The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.’
Paul was shocked when he heard those words from Fey. If he wasn’t the real Paul Mirror then who is he? How come did he became Paul Mirror?
“I knew it.” David said immediately almost jumping in the air in joy, soon the smile faded as he stare hard on doctor Fey. “Continue Fey or did we ask you to stop?”
“An old man had brought you…” Fey said pointing at Paul with a shaking hand. “… in, he said he saw you badly burnt, he thought you had died but was surprised when he got close that you were still breathing. He paid some deposit and stopped coming after sometime when he couldn’t keep on with the bills, you were still in coma. We thought not giving you any meditation would allow you die quickly so that we can bury you.” Fey said lowly but audible enough for them to hear him. “Weeks later, Robert Mirror came with his dying son who was admitted in my hospital, but Paul lost the battle after few days and gave up. He died and I told Robert of his son death, he cried and went to see his late son body for the last time, and that was when he saw you. You and Paul were in the same ward because we thought you will give up soon. You had the same body build of his late son and height, so he pleaded with me to change your face to his late son’s own after paying me a huge sum of money. I did that and I was 100% sure you would wake up and loss your memories, which you did. I am sorry, I only did that because of money and because Robert is my best friend.” Doctor Fey finally said with tears in his eyes, he quickly cleaned his eyes.
“So who am I if I am not Paul Mirror then?” Paul asked.
“We don’t know that either, the old man just brought you here.” Fey answered.
“Do you know this old man, I mean where he lives?” David demanded. “We need to ask him some questions and reward him for saving him.” He added.
“Yes I do know him, he was a beggar, but he is dead.” Fey replied.
“Dead? What do you mean?” Paul asked.
“Yes, he died two years ago from a sickness.” Fey confirmed.
“Oh no, he would have been the only one to know where he had picked me up from.” Paul said in sadness. He wouldn’t know who he was.
“Before I forget, the day he had brought you here was the day the plane going to Balsa crashed, so I think you fell off from the plane and he saw you, picked you and brought you here.” Fey said.
“That was also the same day my best friend, Philip, entered the plane that crashed, let it be what I am thinking.” David said all of suddenly and touched Paul’s shoulder. “Your are not my cousin Paul but Philip my best friend, the food gave it away.” David said with a smile. “Your name is Philip.”
“Then why can’t I remember anything? Though I recently saw someone dancing with Ora in my head.” Paul said.
“You know Ora?” David asked.
“Yes, she was the one who had told me my food tastes just like Philip’s.”
David eyes widened as he remembered something. “Ora might be in serious trouble.”
“Why do you say so?” Paul asked quickly concern about Ora.
“You remembered the girl I once told you who is a ballet dancer and who wouldn’t return my love?” David asked as Paul nodded his head. “Ora is the girl, I went to her house earlier today and she told me that Philip is back.” David explained. “You’re Philip which I am sure, then who is with her lying to her he’s Philip?”
“We are not having this conversation here, let’s go home.” Philip said and stood up from his sit, he made as if to go and stop, facing Doctor Fey’s again. “Do not tell Robert about this if you still want to live.” Philip added with a warning tone.
“I won’t breath a word to anyone Paipt.” Doctor Fey said in a scary voice.
“Good Fey, you never saw me neither did we have any conversation.” Philip said, closing up his box and left together with David and Eric.

He drove them to his secret hideout (penthouse), where he had took Nora too.
Coming out from the car, the guards stationed there greeted them and they responded to their greetings. David was surprised when he saw the penthouse and was even speechless when he was told Robert didn’t know anything about it.
Once inside and sitting comfortably Eric was the first person to speak.
“Did you remember what I told you? About my former master?” Eric asked.
Philip remembered what Eric had told him back then in the room.
“You mean the guy that is claiming to be me to Ora is actually your master?”
“Yes, and as we are speaking, he plans on having the dancer all to himself, that was why he had killed you thinking you would die in the plane crash.” Eric says the little he knew.
“What’s going on Philip, whose master is he talking about?” David asked totally confused.
“The two guys who had planned to killed you were sent by his former master.” Paul explained. “Now I understand why he wants you dead, he kills whoever that stands between him and Ora.” He said after a while.
“Oh I see…. He is in for a big surprise then because one, he doesn’t know Philip is actually alive and two, you’re stronger now and not like the old Philip he once knew.” David said sending a smile towards his cousin and Eric.
“I still haven’t gotten my memories back, but we are going to Floda tomorrow. And please even though facts has said it all that I am actually Philip, I will still like to be called Paul.” He told them.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Floda:
“I did?” Philly said in a surprise tone.
“Yeah you did, don’t tell me you forgot about the meaning behind the necklace also?” Nora said and stopped her dance mid-way, floding her hands beneath her breast and looking up at him strangely. Something doesn’t feel right. The feeling was getting strong, this….. this isn’t her Philip.
“You know when I was with the rebels I was made to do a lot of things, and I probably forgot what we had shared together babe.” Philly said trying to convince her, why didn’t he dig into his twin brother past he had with Nora before pretending to be him? It has escaped his mind. He wasn’t the type that adores necklaces, he remembered the necklace Nora was talking about. Philip had once showed him and even told him what the necklace signified but he wasn’t paying any attention that day. He wished he had, now Nora will start having doubts about him, he just hope the lie he said was believable enough.
“Oh, I see.” Nora said after a while trying to get some things in her head. Faking a yawn while trying to cover her mouth to make it look real. “I am tried dear, I need to get some sleep, it’s.” Looking at the wall clock. “Almost 10. Good night my love.” Nora added before planting a kiss on his cheek and left for her room.
Philly smiled at her as he stare lustful at her, especially her backside.
All that will soon be his. His to touch, his to smooch. He thought as he licked his lips imaging all various of sex stlye he was going to have with Nora. He was going to make Nora scream out his name in pure ecstasy, technically Philip’s name and not his. Just looking at her turns him on. He will use all he got to woo Nora to his bed and if she didn’t agree, only the universe knows what he will do to her then.

The house was quite when Nora went out of Philip’s room. She quitely entered her room and almost jumped out of her skin when she saw her grandmother sitting down on her bed, looking at her.
Touching her heart that was beating fast, “Grandma you scared me half to death.”
“Well I don’t see you dying.” Kate said laughing at her grand daughters face.
“You should have told me you were coming.” Nora said and went to sit down on the bed.
“When I know you are with Philip… No, I don’t want to spoil your dance.”
“How did you know I danced with him?” Nora asked blushing.
“Well let just say that your grandma turned into a spy overnight. Actually I went to spy on Philip when I saw you both dancing, so I decided to wait for you here.” Kate answered with a smile.
“Did you just say spy?”
“Yes, something isn’t right here Nora, don’t be so blind. Philip photos got missing, Diego died mysteriously and Philip showed up all of a sudden, doesn’t it look suspicious to you?”
“I thought I was the only one who had noticed. He gave me this necklace and he tells me he didn’t remember. Something is wrong with him.”
“Yes, well apart from spying on Philip I came here to tell you something, I don’t know how you might take it.”
“You want to tell me you love someone?”
“No, James called me some hours ago. He, Mary and Lora are coming here tomorrow.”
“What? Why?”
“He said it was Lora decision, and since they haven’t seen you for a long time they will use this opportunity to come. I just came to let you know so that you will get prepared for Lora.” Kate said and kissed her forehead in a tenderly way. “Good night my dear.” With that she left the room.
Why is Lora coming here after so many years? How did she even know that she’s here? What does she want again?
This won’t be like before, she can now see and talk and that will shock Lora greatly.
Even though she wants to use her stupt dark magic on her again, Daisy is here to protect her from any harm.

12PM:
Eight shadows were seen moving very fast as they climbed and entered the window Philly had opened down for them.
The room was pitch dark.
The Eight strongest Ninja of Nine finget all came out from the shadows and kneel before Philly who stood before them.
“Things isn’t going according to what I planned.” Philly began. “They are getting smarter everyday especially my father, so I will be leaving tomorrow night.”
“Then let’s kill him and the old lady tonight master.” One of the Ninja’s suggested.
“No, don’t kill them yet, killing them would arouse suspicious… I have a better plan.”
“And what can that be master?” A second person asked.
“What else if not to take Nora with me tomorrow night, and if she refuses, she won’t like the other side of me.”
