Mafia's Revenge: Marriage Chessboard

"Doctor. Doctor. Please save my mother."

Aleara Davis hurriedly grabbed the doctor's hand and begged for help.

Today, she had just come home from school and found her mother, Mrs. Olivia, lying unconscious in front of the door.

Aleara was scared and took her mother to the hospital, but until now, no one had paid attention to her and her mother.

The doctor looked at Aleara's shabby appearance, old, faded clothes, and haggard face.

He frowned and walked to the bed to examine the patient.

"The patient has been sick for many years. Fainting is due to too little rest, low blood pressure, and insufficient blood supply to the brain. Hurry up and take her to the operating room."

After a series of examinations, he glanced at Aleara, then looked at a nurse and gave orders.

The nurse immediately nodded and hurriedly ordered someone to push Mrs. Olivia's hospital bed into the emergency room.

Aleara happily wiped the tears from her face and ran after her mother.

"Hey, girl."

The nurse who had just received the doctor's diagnosis gently pulled Aleara's hand back.

"The total cost of the surgery is almost fifty million. Pay quickly and come back to give me the receipt."

Aleara was stunned when she received the bill from the nurse.

Aleara was extremely worried, even if she sold everything in the house, it wouldn't be enough for ten million, where would she get fifty million?

"Sister, can this money be paid later?"

"No. According to the rules, you have to pay for the surgery first before you can have the surgery."

The nurse looked at Aleara with fear.

Such things had happened in the hospital before.

"But... I can't afford it right now. Is there any way you can help me? I beg you. Please save my mother."

Aleara asked in a trembling voice, her heart was truly filled with fear.

Her family consisted of only her and her mother.

Since she was young, the two of them had depended on each other in this small house.

Now that something like this had happened to her mother, she didn't know what to do.

"I'm so sorry." The nurse's voice became colder, as she folded the file in her hand:

"You have about three hours to prepare this money. If you still haven't paid after three hours, the surgery will be canceled."

After saying that, the nurse turned away, leaving Aleara standing there, her eyes red from crying.

She bit her lip to stop herself from sobbing.

Aleara sat down on the cold tiled floor, in her more than twenty years of life, this was the time when Aleara felt the most desperate.

She held the phone tightly in her hand, thinking in her mind who she could contact for help.

But thinking over and over again, Aleara still couldn't think of anyone who could help her at this moment.

She called each person one by one to plead but only received rejection.

Two hours had passed, and Aleara felt more and more desperate.

Suddenly. The sound of high heels clicking on the tiled floor echoed throughout the hospital corridor.

Aleara didn't pay attention to that, at this moment she was panicking, her whole body trembling with fear.

She was afraid that her mother wouldn't be able to operate in three hours, afraid that she would be the only one left in this world.

"Hey."

Aleara saw a pair of long legs wearing high heels, and a voice came from above her head.

Aleara slowly raised her head to look at the person who had just started talking to her, then her eyes suddenly widened.

A beautiful, branded girl appeared all over her body.

But what surprised Aleara the most was her face.

'Isn't this my face?'

Aleara's heart skipped a beat, not understanding what was going on.

Was she dreaming?

The girl who had just appeared was wearing a long dress.

When she saw Aleara looking, she gently took off her sunglasses and faced Aleara.

"Did you hear me? Have you become a fool?"

The sarcastic voice woke Aleara up.

She stared at the girl whose face was exactly like hers and asked, "Who are you?"

"Oh. You finally said it?" She sneered and continued: "I think you are a fool who can't speak, so my efforts here are useless."

"Who are you anyway? What do you want?"

The contemptuous words of the girl in front of her made Aleara completely angry.

Why is there someone who looks so similar to her? Why is she here, at this time?

"Huh. You want money to pay for your mother's surgery, right?"

The strange girl continued to use that contemptuous tone to talk to Aleara.

"Yes."

Aleara stood up straight.

She and the strange girl were the same height.

The two of them stood side by side like two peas in a pod.

"I can help you."

"First of all, can you tell me who you are?"

Aleara interrupted her and asked her a question.

Aleara panicked even more, she seemed to guess that her life would not be as peaceful as before.

"Then who am I more important than that old lady's life?" The strange girl sneered, looked at Aleara's pale face, and continued:

"I am Amanda Davis, considered the only daughter of the Davis family. My father just passed away two days ago. Did you know?"

Aleara searched her memory to find information about the Davis family.

The Davis family was the richest in X City.

Amanda Davis had been arrogant since she was young, relying on her powerful family background to often look down on others.

Now Aleara could understand why she always used such aggressive words towards her.

"What does this have to do with me? Furthermore, why do you want to help me?" Aleara looked at Amanda with a puzzled expression.

"Huh. Haven't you seen my face? You and I are twins. Do you understand the word twins?"

Amanda's attitude became even more unreasonable when she revealed her true identity.

"If you want me to help you pay the hospital bill, then obediently go back and mourn that honorable father for me. From now on, you will be Amanda, the only young lady of the Davis family. Understand?"

Aleara listened to Amanda and went from one surprise to another.

Twin sisters? Her attitude was not to take back her sister. Replace Amanda.

"What are you talking about? Are you and I twins?" Aleara was a little unable to accept this fact.

"Also, if you and I are sisters, you must help me save my mother. Why are you making conditions for me?"

"Humph. You don't need to care about this." Amanda looked at Aleara with disdain.

"If you want me to pay for that old lady's hospital fees, then you have to accept my conditions."

"You..."

Aleara widened her eyes at the face in front of her that looked exactly like hers. Her fierce attitude made Aleara shiver completely.

"You should make a decision quickly. It seems the people here are about to lose patience and kick that old lady out of bed."

Amanda glanced inside the hospital bed, then turned back to look at Aleara and urged.

Aleara was stunned when she heard Amanda's words, she hurriedly ran inside to see the mother who had taken care of her for more than twenty years.

Olivia's face was pale and lifeless.

The tears on Aleara's face flowed more and more, quickly wetting a large area of ​​the bed sheet.

"I agree." Aleara finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned to beg Amanda.

"You quickly help my mother with the surgery."

"Good. It will be soon."

Amanda smiled, looked at Aleara with satisfaction, and then waved her hand to signal the guard to go pay for the surgery.

"I have done what I promised you. Now it's your turn to keep your promise. Hurry up and go out, there is a black car waiting outside, the people inside will help you change your appearance into me. This Amanda has never been a country bumpkin like you."

"Can I wait until the surgery results come out before leaving?"

Aleara remained by the bed, her hand tightly holding Mrs. Olivia's hand.

She didn't want to leave, she wanted to see her mother safely through the surgery first.

"No."

Amanda's sour voice rang out again, bluntly refusing Aleara's request.

"You have to go now, there's no time left. That man is probably on his way to the funeral. You can't stay here until the surgery is over."

Amanda spoke urgently, when she mentioned the words 'that man', a rare flash of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Don't go back on your word to me. Don't say you're stopping the surgery, if I want, even if you have the money, no hospital in this country would dare to treat your mother."

Amanda saw that Aleara was still lingering by Mrs. Olivia's bedside, she immediately became angry, she gritted her teeth and threatened.

Aleara heard everything Amanda said.

She lightly kissed Mrs. Olivia's wrinkled hand, then sighed and stood up.

"Don't worry. Once I've agreed with you, I'll keep my promise." Aleara said as she adjusted Mrs. Olivia's blanket.

"I just hope you can help me take good care of my mother."

"Don't worry. I'll hire someone to take care of this old lady."

"Good."

Aleara nodded, then walked out of the hospital room.

The voices of nurses and doctors quickly rang out from behind her, pushing Mrs. Olivia into the emergency room.

The hospital bill had been paid, and the surgery was about to begin.

Aleara clenched her fists to stop herself from running after Mrs. Olivia's hospital bed.

She stiffly walked straight down the street, climbing into the dark car that Amanda had prepared in advance.

Aleara was pushed forward by the men in black behind her. From the outside, everyone thought that the men in black were bodyguards following to protect Amanda.

But only Aleara herself knew that they were following and forcing her.

Aleara entered the main house of the Davis family.

This was the first time Aleara had entered such a luxurious house.

However, the atmosphere here was filled with sadness and death.

The funeral of the head of this family was taking place here.

Aleara was pushed hard by a bodyguard, causing her to fall in front of Mr. Davis's altar.

"Poor Amanda. The Davis family just declared bankruptcy, and Mr. Davis passed away so suddenly. Now the whole family only has this young girl to support them."

A mourner saw Aleara kneeling in front of the altar and immediately whispered.

"Yes. She must have been in shock. She couldn't even walk. I just saw her trembling and kneeling before Mr. Davis's altar. She was so pitiful."

Another woman beside her also commented on Aleara's actions.

Aleara was kneeling in a daze, her ears whispering.

Were they talking to her? If they were just talking to each other, did they need to speak so loudly? Why didn't she hear any sympathy in their tones?

Aleara felt like they were gloating over her situation.

To be more precise, they were gloating over Amanda's situation.

Aleara was now forced to change her clothes, her entire body covered in luxurious clothes, covering her originally rough appearance.

When Aleara saw her in the mirror, she was startled and didn't realize if it was her.

Aleara could see Amanda's reflection in the mirror.

So what she said was true.

She and her sister were twins.

They were strangely similar.

If the two of them stood next to each other, without saying what, doing nothing, then surely no one can know who is Aleara and who is Amanda.

The fake crying in Aleara's ears grew louder and louder.

People came to pay their respects and burn incense for Mr. Davis continuously, but how many of them mourned him? Aleara uncomfortably raised her head to look at the man in the portrait.

'Is this my father?' Aleara wondered, then felt bitter.

What an irony.

The first time she saw her father's face was through his funeral portrait.

Aleara couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment, she could only stare at the old man's photo.

Tears automatically flowed from her eyes.

"Get out of the way. Get out of the way."

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the main door, then a group of men in black pushed the crowd of mourners aside, opening a small path.

Those people knocked over the wreath of condolence, but no one dared to say a word of complaint.

Everyone stood aside in fear.

Aleara was startled by the noise and quickly turned around to see what was happening.

A tall man walked out from the crowd dressed in black, coldly walking straight towards Mr. Davis's altar and stopped right in front of Aleara.

His face was perfectly handsome, able to make any girl passing by want to fall at his feet.

However, his cold expression that did not want others to approach along with the terrifying feeling around him made everyone afraid.

Therefore, no matter how handsome he was, no girl dared to look at him.

The man glanced at Aleara and then looked up at Mr. Davis's portrait, his eyes becoming even colder.

"Dead? Dead so quickly."

He laughed, his voice hoarse, gloomy, and scary.

Aleara felt cold on his body.

She unconsciously stepped back, wanting to avoid the man's gaze.

However, her shoulder was immediately grabbed, and he used force to make Aleara wince in pain.

"Want to run?"

The man took his eyes off Mr. Davis's portrait and looked at the girl's trembling figure in his arms.

His eyes were filled with disgust and hatred.

"He's dead. The debt the Davis family owes me will be paid by you."

The man's cold voice made Aleara shiver.

Debt? The Davis family owes this man? That's why Amanda was so eager to find her as a replacement. As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Aleara's face became even paler.

"How much does my father owe you?"

Aleara tried to suppress her fear of this man, her voice trembling as she asked what debt she had to bear in Amanda's place.

"How much? Haha." The man laughed loudly as soon as he heard Aleara's question.

"It seems like your father didn't tell you anything, huh? The debt that the Davis family owes Jayden, I'm afraid no amount of money can be converted. Don't even think about using money to pay that debt. Furthermore, you seem to have forgotten. Your Davis family is now bankrupt, not a single cent left, and you still dare to ask me about that debt?"

The man in front of Aleara became more and more agitated, and his hand on her shoulder became stronger.

Aleara felt like her shoulder was about to be broken by him.

From what he said, Aleara learned two pieces of information. First, this man's name was Jayden, and he seemed to be an extraordinary person.

Because the people present immediately lowered their heads after seeing him appear, not daring to look at him, always avoiding his eyes as if afraid of being seen.

The second thing Aleara learned was that the Davis family had made a lot of enemies with this man.

The debt he was referring to here was not just money.

Aleara felt even more helpless, Amanda had pushed her into such a chaotic situation.

But she didn't tell Aleara in advance to prepare her mentally.

Amanda just let Aleara be caught by this man in a daze like this, wasn't she trying to push her to her death?

"Not saying anything more?" Jayden saw Aleara become silent, so he coldly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look straight into his eyes.

After seeing Aleara's entire face, Jayden's attitude became even more ferocious.

He squeezed Aleara's chin tightly, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Hmph. One day I will make you pay this debt." Jayden said, then pushed Aleara away, causing her to crash into the coffin of Mr. Davis nearby.

He turned and left, then spoke out an order to his subordinates.

"Take her away."

"Yes."

The man in black standing closest to Jayden nodded, then walked towards Aleara and grabbed her arm, dragging her out of the Davis family.

"Wait. Let go." Aleara was pulled hard and woke up from the shock of being pushed down by Jayden earlier.

She tried to hold herself back, not letting the man in black drag her any further.

"Who are you? Where do you want to take me? What right do you have to take me? Let me go, or I'll call the police to arrest you."

Aleara screamed frantically, trying to fight against the strength of the man who was pulling her arm.

Her whole body ached, but Aleara knew that she couldn't be taken away by these people.

Otherwise, her situation would only get worse.

"Call the police?" Jayden heard Aleara's scream from behind and immediately stopped.

He walked closer to Aleara, took out his phone from his pocket, and held it in front of her, smiling.

"Okay. I'll lend you this phone. Hurry up and report it."

Aleara stared at the phone in front of her before looking up at his defiant face.

Aleara slowly held out her hand, considering whether or not to call the police here. Why was this man's attitude so indifferent, not caring about what she said?

"But before I do, I want to remind you of something." Jayden still kept the action of handing the phone to Aleara, seeing Aleara's arm slowly approaching the phone, he continued to speak.

"Before Mr. Davis died, he sold you... no, I should say he married you to me. I just wanted to bring my wife back to have a wedding ceremony, I'm sure the police wouldn't stop me if they were there, right?"

After Jayden finished speaking, the smile on his face became even more sly, happily observing the expression on Aleara's face.

When Aleara heard Jayden's words, the arm that was about to grab the phone stopped in mid-air, unable to move any further.

"What?" She didn't believe it and tried to ask Jayden again.

"Did you just say I was your wife?"

"It seems like Mr. Davis died too quickly, he didn't even tell you about this?" Jayden saw that Aleara had given up on calling the police, so he took it back and put it in his pocket.

Then he stood up straight, arrogantly looking at Aleara with disdain, saying words of pity, but Aleara only heard ridicule.

"It's just like what you just said. Mr. Davis owes me money, and the amount is not small. When he was desperate, he even used his daughter to repay me. So right now, I'm just here to take my wife home. You don't have any objections, right?"

Opinions?

What else could she object to? Being a wife to repay a debt? Aleara listened to Jayden and just stood there, dumbfounded.

'Amanda. You're so good. The amount of money you lent me is not easy to accept. Your status as a young lady is really hard to do.'

"Take her away."

Jayden saw that Aleara didn't say anything more and knew that she had accepted her fate.

He snorted coldly and once again looked at the bodyguard beside him and gave an order.

The men in black remained on either side, creating a small path for Jayden to easily escape the crowd that was jostling to pay their respects to Mr. Davis.

Aleara was pushed and pulled by the bodyguards as she followed Jayden.

This time, she didn't resist, just let them take her wherever they wanted.

Aleara was once again forced into a black car and taken away.

'Why are you guys dragging me around today?' She wondered with a smile.

Aleara tiredly leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.

She couldn't decide anything right now, could she? The moment she accepted Amanda's offer to replace her as the eldest daughter of the Davis family to earn money to pay for her mother's hospital bills, Aleara never expected that her life would be pushed this far.
