Episode 1

HARRY POV

"Dad!" I said as I picked up the call and began to button up my shirt.

"Son! how are you doing?"

"am fine dad"

"What is the time for your flight?" he asked

"In an hour time".

"I see! we are just so eager to see you son. You know it's been up to seven years" Dad said and I smiled.

"I know Dad and I've really missed you and Mom".

"Right! also your fiance would be here waiting for you". Dad said and I signed.

"I just remembered I have a fiance that I don't even know"

"c'mon son! how could you forget?"

"Dad, what if I don't even like her? what if she isn't my type?"

Dad remained silent for a while before speaking.

"She's my friend's daughter and I believe she a good girl."

"Well, I don't believe we're still in the time where parents choose spouses for their children". I said as I picked up a comb.

"And that's because my only son has refused to get married and he's getting old". Dad said and I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Dad! am just 28 and besides I haven't found true love".

"And you will find true love with Susan" Dad said.

"Susan! who's that?" I asked.

"Fool! your fiance" Dad said.

"oh! so that's her name?"

"silly boy!" Dad said and I laughed.

"I have a plan Dad and I want you and Mom to support me".

"Plan? what plan?"

"It's a plan to know if that Susan girl is good for me".

"But I know she's a good girl" Dad said.

"I know but I want to confirm it myself. Please Dad, you've been very supportive of me from the start. please let me do this"

"Alright son, Just make sure the plan is harmless. Also I'll brief your mom about this"

"Thank you Dad! you're simply the best" I said and he chuckled. with that he hung up.

I finished dressing but this time around, I didn't put on my usual expensive outfit and Jewelries. I wore a casual outfit.

I pressed a button and Darry came in almost immediately.

"sir!" he said and looked at me wondering why am dressed like that.

Darry is my bodyguard, driver and a friend.

"Darry! I have a job for you" I said and he simply nod.

"well, it's more like a plan. I want us to exchange identities"

"uh?"

"yeah! I want you to become Harry Kenwood and I become Darry. I'll do your Job."

"I don't understand. I can't take your place" he said and I smiled.

"it's just for a short period of time Darry. I have a fiance that I don't even know and that is why I want you to take my place so I can observe her behavior."

"but....."

"please Darry, you're my friend and you're the only one I can trust. And don't worry about your salary because I'll continue paying you".

"But what about your parents?"

"Don't worry about that, they are aware of the plan. please Darry"

He nod his head slowly and I chuckled.

"from today, you're Harry Kenwood. you will act like me, wear my clothes and order me around. it's a good thing we have same body size. let's get going before we miss our flight and I'll brief you about the plan on the way." I said as we both walked out.

EMILY POV

"Granny!!" I squealed as I hugged my grandmother tightly.

"oh! Emily, can't you see I'm old and getting weaker by the day? Do you really wanna break my bones. " She said making me smile but I didn't let her go.

"squeeze the remaining life out of me" I laughed as I released her but that didn't last as I winced due to the hard knock granny gave me on my head.

"ouch! granny, it hurts"

"that's what you get for going hard on me" she said.

"You know I can't go hard on you. you know you're my favorite and I love you so much to do that" I teased and she laughed.

"Emily"

"yes granny" I looked at her only for me to see her giving me a weird look.

"why are you home by this time?"

"oh!" I said and released a nervous laugh.

"I.. actually... I.. I'm done job hunting for today". I said stuttering.

she raised an eyebrow at me.

"it's still morning Emily, Don't be a lazy dumbass girl. You're gonna go out there and resume job hunting".

"granny!" I called but she ignored and picked up her knitting thread and needle.

I signed, it's useless talking to granny. I guess I better get my ass out the streets or else I won't have a good night sleep with granny. I picked up my purse and walked out.

I signed as I leaned on the wall with my eyes closed.

it's been 4 hours and the story is still the same, no job vacancy. Today is the worst day of my life. I feel so frustrated.

Just then my eyes caught something on the wall.

Job vacancy!

I moved closer.

Job vacancy of a maid?

Immediately, the gate opened and an expensive car drove out but stopped in front of me.

oops! I hope I'm not in some kind of trouble.

The window rolled down as a lady popped out her head.

" Good day ma'am"

"Good day to you dear, are you here for the Job?"

"yes ma'am"

"Thank goodness, finally! are you sure you're ready for this Job?"

"I'm sure ma'am"

"hold on a sec!" she said and placed a call across to someone while I just stood and admired her beauty.

Just then an elderly woman showed up. Just the same age with granny, I guess.

" Nanny Maria, this is our new maid. Brief her on everything she needs to know." she said and the nanny nodded.

I became confused.

"Does it mean I have the Job?" I asked and she nodded before driving off.

that was easy!.

I felt someone tap me from behind.

It was nanny Maria.

"Go get your things because you'll be staying in the Mansion. when you're back, I'll brief you about your Job". she said and I nodded.

I turned and walked away with a bright smile.

I finally have a Job.

DISGUISE

Episode 2.

SUSAN POV

"Susan!" Mom called as I came down the stairs with my headphones on.

"Susan!" Mom called, this time louder.

"what is it mom?" I asked

"Really? Susan, is that how to speak to your mother?" She said but I ignored and got busy with my phone.

"I raised you better than this Susan! How did you suddenly become rude and ill mannered." she said and I huffed and stood up.

"I don't really know why you called me, but am running late for my shot so just say whatever you wanna say" I said.

"Susan!"Dad said as he came in. "why are you so rude Susan"

I rolled my eyes and turned to live.

"Your fiance is coming back today, you should get prepared and go see him" Dad said making me stop.

"Fiance! Fiance!! fiance!! who the hell is this fiance that you all won't stop bugging me about"

"How will you know when you literally avoid this topic and all you care about is your modelling job" Mom said and I rolled my eyes.

"Harry Kenwood" Dad said and my eyes popped out in shock.

"You mean that I'm engaged to Harry Kenwood! and he's coming back today" I squealed but mom and Dad walked away.

This must be a dream!

I haven't been there before! I hope I impress them.

I should go get dressed.

EMILY POV

I made it back to the Mansion with my luggage and I must say, the building is extravagant.

granny was happy that I've gotten a job but she made it look as if she wanted me out of the house.

But I wouldn't blame her tho, she simply wants the best for me.

Now back to where I am. Right now I'm standing outside the maid's quarters with nanny Maria tutoring me about everything like a coach lecturing it's trainee.

"So you mean, Harry Kenwood owns this Mansion and he's coming back today and that's the cause of this preparation?" I asked and she nodded.

"He's lucky!" I said

"He sure is! This day is very special for the Kenwood family, so we've to give it all our best"

I nod. "The lady, who's she?"

"oh That's ma'am Rita and she's the mother to Harry" she explained and I mouthed an oh!

"Let's get back to work, according to the info I got, they will be here in the next 15 minutes." she said and began to lead me to the Kitchen.

But the foolish me got lost admiring the Mansion, not until I bumped into someone.

"You lousy twit!"

oops!!

my bad!

SUSAN POV

I rode into the Kenwood Mansion and I must confess it's beautiful.

I came down and decided to into the Mansion. I'm their soon to be daughter in-law, that shouldn't be a problem right?.

Just then someone bumped into me.

"You lousy twit!" I yelled as I looked at her.

she looks so lame and.... poverty smells around her.

"I'm sorry, sorry" she apologized.

"oh! You should be, nicompoop".

"With all due respect Missy, I'm neither a lousy twit nor a nicompoop. I'm Emily, read my lips E-mi-ly." she said and I huffed.

"oh please! Judging from your outfit or should I say Uniform, you're just a lowlife maid"

"you....."

"what's going on here?" an elderly woman asked coming out and the Emily girl bowed her head immediately.

"ma'am, I was just on my way to the Kitchen when I mistakenly bumped into this lady" she said innocently.

"really? mistakenly or purposely" I said and she looked at me with anger.

"Enough!, The Kitchen is that way Emily, get back to work"

"yes ma'am" she said and walked away.

"and who are you?"

"Well" I said and flipped my hair backwards. "I'm Susan and a Fiance to Harry Kenwood".

"Susan! I'm Harry's mom and he'll soon be here, but for the meantime you can just......"

She was cut off as the gate opened and flashy cars drove in.

Guess my Harry just arrived.

AUTHORESS POV

"Don't forget all we talked about" Harry said and Darry nod.

"feel free to order me around, don't forget, you are Harry and I am Darry" Harry explained further as the car drove in.

"I've sent Dad and Mom text messages and they are all aware of the plane"

And let the game begin!

Note: Harry is Darry and Darry is Harry.

HARRY POV

"Mom!" I called as I can to hug her putting my acting skills in place.

"oh! my boy, you've grown so big" Mrs Kenwood said as she hugged me back.

"what an actor you are" she whispered into my ear making me smile.

"Harry! Son!" I heard Mr Kenwood's voice.

"Dad!" I called as I hugged him.

"I've missed you all"

"we've missed you too son!".

MRS KENWOOD POV

My whole body was itching me as saw My Harry standing beside the car.

oh! my boy! I wish I could just hug him right now.

I continued to stare at him as he stared right back at me with a smile.

I quickly put a call across to nanny Maria so she could let the new made come take their luggages to the room.

At first when my husband told me about the plan and I saw Harry's message, it sounded ridiculous.

I've never seen his fiance but coming from the Peters family, she ought to be well behaved.

But the Susan I encountered earlier is so rude and now I totally agree with my son's plan.

Well, let's see how it goes.

"Ahem!" someone cleared her throat and oh! it's the Susan girl.

SUSAN POV

"Ahem!" I cleared my throat making everyone turn to me.

"And you are?" Harry asked

I catwalked to him and interwined my fingers with his.

"Susan, Your fiance" I said with a smile.

"I must say you're beautiful as they described" He said.

"Not just beautiful but sexy" I added and he nodded.

Just then someone pushed me and almost made me fall. i turned around and saw it was Harry's driver I felt anger surge through me as I quickly landed a slap on his face and pushed him making him fall.

"Are you daft! How dare you try to push me and ruin my dress which costs more than your entire miserable life put together" I yelled.

EMILY POV

Nanny Maria and I were busy in the Kitchen making sure everything is in place.

Nanny Maria's phone rang.

"Hello ma'am...... Yes ma'am" She said and hung up then turned to me.

"There just arrived, and I want you Emily to go help the driver take the luggages to the rooms"

"But nanny Maria, there's a lot of work to be done and...."

"Don't worry Emily, I'll take care of the rest" She said and I nodded before leaving.

Just as I walked out, I saw that witch lady pushing someone down.

I guess he's the driver because of his outfit.

With my legs in control, I find myself walking towards the driver.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I squart beside him.

He looked at me and nod.

"C'mon" I said as I helped him stand up before turning to face the witch.

One thing with me is that, I don't see

evil and let it pass. That is the more reason I haven't been given a permanent job until now.

"Earlier ma'am I spoke to you with due respect and I take that back. We might be poor but at least we've lives. He's a driver but he's not as useless as you proclaim".

"You snail... How dare you talk to me in that manner?" She snarled and raised her hands to hit me but I held it Midway.

"I might be a maid, but I'm not someone you can molest" I said and let go of her hand.

"That's enough Susan, let it go" A man said.

"but baby!!" She said in a sexy disgusting tone.

so Susan's her name..... what a perfect name for a perfect witch.

Slowly, I turned to Mr and Mrs Kenwood.

"Ma'am...... Sir, I'm really sorry if I spoke rudely to your son's girlfriend. I don't mind if you fire me because of this ......."

"of course you should be fired" Susan said and I glared at her.

"Let go of it Susan! and no one is getting fired" Mr Kenwood said.

"Emily!" Mrs Kenwood called.

"ma'am"

"Take the bags upstairs. Darry! go with Emily and you'll stay in the guest room" She said to the Driver and I as we took the bags and head inside.

DARRY POV

Seriously, was that really the fiance Dad found for me?.

let's just say I'll be digging my own grave if I get married to her.

Her first impression marked Zero.

"Thank you Emily, for defending me" I said as we made the last arrangements.

"Welcome!" she simply said

"You're Darry, Right?" she said and i nod.

"wow... Darry rhymes with Harry" She said and we both laughed.

"True!" I said and she suddenly started sniffing around me like a dog.

"Hey! what... what are you doing?" I asked concious of her every move.

I mean, what if she's a dog and she bites me.

oh! heavens, what have I gotten myself into.

"I smell money... Riches and... and"

"and what?" I asked

She suddenly break into a smile.

"Just kidding!" she said with a smile on her face.

"But seriously, the aura around you is pleasant. Your face is red, I guess it's due to the slap. I'll get you treated and maybe introduce you to Nanny Maria" She said and dragged me along.

"That's one soft skin you've got" She said as she placed an ice pack on my cheek.

This is the first time someone has slapped me and coming from my supposed fiance?

"What's going on here?" An elderly lady said making Emily flinch.

Guess she was too engrossed in treating my cheek.

"Nanny Maria! I didn't see you..... Allow me to make the introductions. Nanny Maria, this is Darry and he's sir Harry's driver. Darry, This is my favorite Nanny Maria".

"Good day nanny Maria" I greeted.

"Good day to you too Kiddo. And Emily I didn't know that I'm your favorite"

"oh! Nanny, I've a granny, same age as you. I don't want to miss her too much or else I'll die of hypertension. So to avoid that, I'll just see you as my Mansion granny".

"Mansion granny?" Nanny Maria asked.

"Yes Mansion granny and I'm gonna hug you tightly and rest my head on your chest, so you could sing a lullaby for me until I fall asleep." she said and hugged Nanny Maria tightly.

"get away from me, silly girl" Nanny Maria said and hit Emily on the head.

"ouch! Nanny Maria, don't be like my granny, I've been suffering from a head pain for so long" she winced.

"oh! then I guess your granny and I are the same"

All this while, I sat down watching and laughing at the drama being displayed.

Emily suddenly gasped and held Nanny Maria.

"Nanny Maria!"

"sweet baby Jesus! You gave me a heart attack, crazy girl"

"sorry.... sorry.. But do you know that there's a witch in the Mansion" Emily said.

"A witch?" Nanny Maria asked.

"yes! The lady with Sir Harry..... She's a witch. it's best you avoid her because she's rude, arrogant..... and most of all, Her fake lashes that made her look like Jezebel, her long nails which looks like that of Maleficent..... please nanny Maria, avoid her, I love you so much and I can't bear anyone hurting you" Emily said and put her hands on Nanny Mara's shoulders.

"Really?"

"Yes, see what she did to this poor little driver" Emily said and showed her my cheek.

"how about I give a tight slap on your cheek for speaking Ill of the Master's girlfriend uhn? Nanny Maria said to Emily.

"Nanny Maria, it was just an harmless advice. I love my my cheek so much to let it get hurt" Emily said making a sad face.

"Now keep quiet and let me work" Nanny Maria said and Emily nodded drawing an invisible zip on her lips.

She turned and saw me laughing real hard.

"Hey! what's making you laugh?" She asked.

" You're the cause of my laughter" I said still laughing.

"So you mean to tell me that my act looked crazy?" She asked and I nodded.

"Indeed, you're one crazy girl"

"really, let me show you what crazy is" She said and started coming towards me.

Just like lightening, I ran out of the Kitchen. Only God know what she's gonna do.
