Chapter 5 Alice pretense


    Rachel turned her head and looked back at Xander and replied to him. “Of Course I remember


    Alice, we''ve been friends since I was twelve. Where is she? I''ve not seen her since I woke up.”


    Baffled the doctor asked. “But you didn''t remember her this morning while your parents were here,


    ”


    “Doctor, I remember my parents now, after sleeping I was able to recover bits of my memory,”


    Rachel told the doctor in a slow voice.


    “Howe you didn''t remember me then?” Xander asked, a bit annoyed.


    Though it''s good that she didn''t remember the incident, why didn''t she remember him? People will


    think there wasn''t love between them.


    Not that there was but at least for a facade.


    “How about I call her here for you?” Xander asked.


    “Sure, please do. I can''t find my cell phone. I would have called her.” Alice answered back slowly


    but instantly.


    Making Xander believe that she really can''t wait to see her best friend.


    Xander raised his eyebrows up and looked at her with a small smile but in his mind he was


    thinking that she was really a fool.


    “Sure, I will call her now,” Xander said to Rachel and walked out of the hospital room.


    When the doctor saw that the situation was under control, he left the hospital room and went back


    to his office.


    “Alice, she already woke up,” Xander said to Alice immediately she picked up the call.


    Disorientedly, Alice asked. “ Who?” “Araceli,-


    Alice scoffed, Is that why he couldn''t even greet her? Like, hey baby?


    Or hey love?


    “Oh really, that''s so good, how is she?” Alice replied she can''t let Xander think that she was a bad


    person.


    It would be better if that bi*tch had died, but she didn''t. She still has to wake up and drag Xander


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    with her.


    If she doesn''t die now, she will dieter.


    “She’s fine but she didn''t remember the incident, she also didn''t remember me, ” Xander said to


    Alice.


    She didn''t remember the incident? She has amnesia?


    Is that really possible?


    “Does she have amnesia? Oh, was it because she mmed her head on the wall? Oh my!.”


    “Yeah, I don''t know why she did that crazy thing, she should have just allowed those men to rape


    her and all this wouldn''t have happened, and our engagement would have been dissolved by now. But


    because of her stubbornness and protecting her stupid pride, she had tomit suicide.” Xander said


    distastefully to Alice.


    “Poor girl, I''ming soon. I wille and check on her.” Alice said in a pleasant voice to Xander.


    “You should starting, Araceli remembers you and she has asked for you,” Xander said to


    Alice.


    “Alright, I will starting. Wait there for me.” Alice answers back to Xander.


    Xander went back to her hospital room and saw that Ace was still frowning as he had been doing


    since he came.


    He doesn''t care shit about him anyways.


    Ace can do whatever he wants to do when he dissolves the engagement between him and his


    sister. He wouldn''t even have to see him.


    “I’ve called Alice, she said she was upied with something that was why she couldn''te


    earlier and she''sing immediately.” Xander looked away from Ace and exined to Araceli. “ She


    also said she hopes you will understand her,” he added with a look of disgust.


    She can''t me his Alice for anything.


    “It’s okay, I didn''t me her.” Rachel said in a slow voice to Xander. Not me her?


    Hphmm!


    Someone you im to be your best friend was in aa for three days and you didn''t show up till


    she opened her eyes, and you said she should me you!


    Nice, nice.


    She doesn''t deserve to be an enemy not to talk a friend!


    It wasn''t long after Xander called Alice that she came running inside the hospital as if she heard


    just that Araceli was brought into the hospital.


    “Araceli!”


    Alice cried out immediately as she entered the hospital room. The guards at the door immediately


    turned back because they thought something happened to their miss.


    Even Rachel was shocked because she wasn''t expecting a woman screaming her name when she


    looked back and saw the face fitted the Alice in her memory, Rachel calmed down and waited for her to


    disy thoroughly.


    “Alice, ” Rachel softly let out in a low voice.


    Alice quickly walked to her side and held her hands with tears in her eyes.


    “Araceli, I''m sorry I wasn''t here with you when you were going through all that. I heard but I had a


    show I had to be there, I was just arriving from the show” Alice quickly exined to Rachel.


    A show? Lol,


    How can someone that set her up three days ago suddenly have an impromptu show? Rachel


    knew that she was probably waiting for Araceli’s death.


    Well sorry to disappoint you, Araceli is really dead and this is me, Rachel, in her body and I''m not


    as gentle and meek as her.


    “No, Rachel. It''s fine, I understand b.” Rachel replied as she choked.


    Ace quickly brought a ss of water for his sister and fed it to her while Alice patted her back


    gently.


    “Hush, hush. Stop talking. You are still not better yet.” Alice said to Rachel as she wanted her


    back.


    Xander was looking at how caring his Alice was. She was probably regretting what happened and


    showing sisterly feeling her that b*tch again.


    It''s still his Alice that''s the best.


    “I just want you to know that I didn''t me you,” Rachel replied as she tried to convince Alice that


    she actually didn''t remember anything


    Rachel was studying Alice face with the corners of her trying to see her expression.


    Alice had to believe that she didn''t remember anything else she wouldn''t be able to make them


    rx their guards towards her.


    She had to take them unaware.


    “Araceli, I heard that it was Xander that brought you here?”
