Switch Identity

Inside a huge building two men of about 40yrs where seen

arguing.

" I am going to send you to jail because this is called

fraud" Mr James Will a tall gentleman kept raging at his business partner

Mr Marus Mackenzie.

" James we can talk about this , I know I made a

mistake but don't forget we are friends" Mr Mackenzie kept begging.

" You remembered we are friends but with this act of

yours I could have landed in jail" Mr Will said while dropping the file on

the table with force.

"Marus am going to submit this evidence tomorrow so b

expecting the police" Mr Will said before leaving.

Mr Mackenzie stood there with fear thinking how he will

escape this situation, so he decided to call some men.

" I have a job for you this evening" he said to

the man on the other side of the phone before hanging up and frowning.

*********

Mr Will returned home to his 12 year old daughter, wife and

his little boy of about 4years.

He went and into the kitchen and met his wife cooking with

the maids so he hugged her from behind and she smiled and gave him a peck on

his lips.

" Dad I also want a hug" Bella said.

He went forward and hugged his daughter Bella and kissed her

so many times before carrying his little boy Mark to the sitting room.

When Dinner was ready Mrs Will served the table before

inviting everyone to eat .

Mr will and his family where gathered on the table, they

prayed before eating.

While eating Mr will explained to his wife about the proof

he has against Marcus and his wife was happy her husband won't go to

prison....even little Bella eavesdropped and she knew everything happening in

her fathers life.

Her life was perfect...having a caring and lovely family

with her best person ever her junior brother Mark ....he adored her a lot.

When they where done eating they all went to their various

rooms and after Bella was done reading a story to Mark she kissed him Good

night before going to bed ....and she was so happy because tomorrow was her

birthday.

Later in the night when everyone was sleeping some men broke

into the Will mansion....they sneaked into Mr Will room and when he opened his

eyes he was shocked by what he saw.

" Marus what are you doing here?" He asked with

fear in his voice when he saw some dangerous and armed men walk inside his

room.

Mrs Will was so scared and trembled so hard.

" James I begged you not to show the evidence you had

against me but you acted so high and mighty right" he said before dragging

Mrs will by her hairs.

" Ouch Marus what has come over you" she asked him

while screaming in pain.

"Bamp"

He slapped her hard before throwing her on the floor and

smashing her stomach hard .

James tried to fight those men but they where too much for

him so they beat him so hard before tying him up

James could not believe this , his wife was being raped

before him.

" Marus please stop this please" James kept

begging when he saw his wife crying in pain while been raped.

"James it's too late , when I was begging you had no

mercy.....find the children" Marus said before turning to his men.

" No Marus please not my kids please they have not done

anything to you" James begged but Marus being a heartless man ignored him.

Bella was sleeping when she heard cries and when she

approached her parents room she saw the door was opened and she heard

cries...so she hid behind the balcony and saw her mom being raped and her

father was beating up so badly.....she cried and was even more shocked when she

saw her Uncle Marus standing there.

Everything registered to her mind and she kept crying...she

saw her mom pass out from being raped so many times and saw Mr marus killing

her dad with a knife...she couldn't believe her eyes ...she was even more

shocked when she saw her brother Mark coming out of the room while crying.

* Bella....Bella ,,," he kept calling and crying when

one of those men came and picked him up.

He saw the man shooting her brother to the wall as if he was

some stone.

Bella cried out she could not hold it anymore when she saw

her brother was being hit till he passed out ...all his body was filled with

blood....her father was lying on that cold floor with blood everywhere and she

saw Mr Marus smiling like he won a trophy .

She got angry and was about to run to her father when she

was pulled inside a room by one of those men.....she kept crying and hitting

the man , the man covered her mouth using his hands.

" Do you want to survive?" He asked her but Bella

was not in her right state of mind she nodded negatively.

" Am giving you a chance now....if you want to survive

then run and never return" the man said to her ...but Bella wanted to die

as well ...she was not ready to live anymore.

Just as they where discussing Mr Marus came from behind.

" You found the girl?" He asked before nearing

them slowly while smiling.

When he came closer he bent and faced Bella before smiling

and to his surprise Bella spat on him.

He wiped his face angrily before dragging her to the living

room with her hair.

He stomped her on the floor before ordering his men .

Bella was raped by 2 men and her body was filled with

blood...she kept crying, she don't know how her life suddenly changed....Bella

went unconscious for some time but when she opened her eyes she saw those men

cleaning those dead bodies and they probably thought she was dead.

That same man who told her to run was in charge of disposing

her body so he carried her out of the mansion and when he discovered she was

still breathing he tried to wake her up.

Bella started crying and the man put her down and told her

to run for her life.

Bella who suddenly wanted to die don't know where she took

the energy to run ...she ran without looking back...

She kept running with only the moon behind her.

Bella ran for hours and hours before hiding in a shady

building and she passed out.

Bella woke up after 2 days of being

unconscious she found herself in a strange surrounding , she was inside a dusty

apartment and she could hear cars passing by.

She kept wondering how she found

herself here when all her memories came flashing to her....she felt like it was

a dream but after seeing the dry blood everywhere on her body and her being

here ...she couldn't deny the truth, Bella cried for so many minutes before she

heard her stomach grumble.

Gosh she was hungry and she has no mom

, what will she do , she stood up and walked inside that building and luckily she

saw water , she undressed and bath while crying.

When she was done bathing she saw an

over sized T-shirt hanging in a stick, it smelled so awful but she had no

choice but to wear it, it sized her like a gown.

She went out and was shocked by the

view she saw, she saw kids running up and down and the place was low class

compared to her area.

She started walking ahead and saw how

those dirty kids kept staring at her ...but she was hungry and sad...she gathered her courage and asked food from some

people but they chased her away....luckily for her after several attempts a

lady gave her bread and pure water.

She sat on a bench beside the road and

was about to eat when two girls of about her size came towards her.

" Hey girl I want that bread"

the tall one said, and Bella was confused, she is hungry and this girl is not

even begging but asking for it.

When she just sat there quietly without

paying attention to them they got angry and snatched the bread from her.

" You should respect us , you get

it" the girl said before leaving with her bread. . .Bella cried out and a

boy of about 14 years saw what happened and came beside her.

Bella jerked her head and saw a tall

boy standing in front of her with a stick.

" Are you stupid? Are you going to

let them leave with your food?" The boy asked her before hitting her with

the stick.

Bella cried out again and the boy

handed her the stick.

" Are you hungry?" He asked.

Bella nodded.

" Then teach them a lesson and

take what belongs to you" he said before dropping the stick in front of

her.

Bella refused but she was shocked when

the boy hit her head with his hand .

" pick this stick now and see them

as your worst enemy then beat them up" he said and bella expression

changed...she remembered everything that happened to her, wiped her tears ,

picked up the stick and walked towards those girls.

She turned and looked at the boy and he

gave her a thumbs up.

Bella hit those girls with a stick

several times as if she was mad ...the girls kept crying and shouting but Bella

did not stop...she was in her own world, she just kept hitting them hard until

the boy had to stop her ....when she looked down and saw blood everywhere on

those girls body , she closed her ears and shouted .

"No...no ...blood " she kept

shouting and the boy kept calming her before those girls left faster.

When Bella was calmed the boy gave her

some bread and juice he bought.

Bella ate before the guy was about to

leave when he noticed Bella following him.

" Why are you following me?"

The boy asked but Bella just looked down.

" you don't have a home?" The

boy asked again and he saw bella nodding.

" OK and you cant survive in this

street...you cry a lot" He said and Bella looked at him before tears

flowed again.

" You remember me so much of my

sister" he said before patting her back with his hands ..

" OK follow me then" he

directed her and Bella kept following like she was hypnotized .

They took a boat before continuing

their journey.

They stopped at a big mansion which was

even bigger than Bella home.

The boy directed her inside and when

they got there they met an old man around his 60's sitting on a wheel chair and

the boy ran to him.

" Grandpa what are you doing

here" the boy asked while pushing his wheel chair inside

" Don't you treat me like a

baby" he said before turning his attention to Bella.

" Grandpa this is my friend"

he said and bella walked closer to him.

" Harry where is she from? "

The old man asked.

" Grandpa she has no home"

harry replied.

"What happened to her home"

the old man asked and he saw Bella crying so he looked at harry...harry signaled

Bella to sit .

And when she was sited she explained

everything that happened to her and the old man became furious

" What do you say is your

name" the old man asked.

" Bella....Bella Will"

The old man was so angry after hearing Bella story.

Which human is so ruthless to rape a 12 year old girl and

also kill a baby.

Harry felt pity for Bella and she just kept crying when a

woman came downstairs and rushed to her before hugging her and crying.

" Alice your back ....Alice mommy miss you" she

kept hugging Bella and crying.

Bella was confused, who is this woman that keeps hugging her

and calling her Alice.

" Mom calm down....mom its not her" . harry said

to the woman while trying to calm her.

The woman suddenly realized she is not Alice and her

daughter is dead , she cried more.

"Claire get a hold of yourself" grandpa said.

He can't bare seeing his precious daughter crying so much

and loosing herself due to the death of his grand daughter.

Alice was on her way to England to join a boarding school

when their plane suddenly crashed...since then Claire has not been the same

..first her husband left and now her precious daughter is gone.

" Bella its just my sister was at same age as you

that's why she is confused" harry explained and Bella just nodded before

hugging the woman.

Claire felt the warmth of her embrace..

It felt so much like her baby telling her everything is

going to be alright.

Just with that hug Claire stopped crying and her father was

shocked that this little girl as actually made Claire to stop crying.

Claire hugged her tightly while holding her head.

Bella stomach grumble and Claire heard it so she took Bella

upstairs to Alice room.

The room was so beautiful...everything including the

curtains where pink and there was a small dull house at a corner.

Claire saw how Bella looked at the room and she couldn't

help but feel amazed...she took her to the bathroom, bath her before wearing

her Alice clothes and she combed her hair.

" You have a beautiful and soft hair" Claire said

while looking at her through the mirror.

Bella did not utter a word, so claire took her downstairs

and started feeding her.

" Open your mouth...one more spoon" Claire said

while smiling and that scene made the old man to almost shed tears ...its been

long he saw his daughter smiling and same goes to Harry , he was happy he

brought Bella home.

" So Bella what are your plans now" grandpa asked

.

Bella stayed quiet because she actually had no plans.

" Don't you want to give justice to your parents?"

He added and Claire looked at her father with shock.

" Dad she is just a child...what type of justice are

you talking about" Claire asked because she knows how much her father

hates Marus Mackenzie but it don't mean he is going to use this poor child.

" Claire I know what your thinking about....indeed I

have a problem with Marus but its purely business but her its a personal

problem" he explained more and Bella seems to be concentrating now.

" I don't want to revenge for my parents. God will

judge" Bella said and it only made Claire smile but the old man was

shocked...who wouldn't want to revenge after their life was ruined in just some

hours.

" And Uncle Marus will kill me if he ever sees me"

she said with fear.

" You don't have to be scared of any bastard.....think

about your family, your brother and how they where killed". The old man

kept convincing her but Bella still did not want to revenge.

Harry suddenly ran and increased the volume on the TV that

attracted everyone attention.

Mr marus was having an interview with one journalist.

********

Journalist: Mr Marus

your business partner Mr will had gone against the law and was supposed to be

arrested but he ran away with his family.

Mr Marus: of course James is not only my business partner

but he is like a brother to me ....he committed a crime and I know it was wrong

of him , but him leaving the country with his family is so bad..

James wherever you are am disappointed in you.

Journalist: Mr Marus

your such a kind man , even after James had cheated the law almost implicating

you in it ...you still consider him your brother.

Mr Marus: of course we all make mistakes and my home is

always open for my brother James in case he changes his mind and comes out of

hiding.

********

Bella could not believe that news ...after killing her

parents he still has the right to

ridicule their name to the public.

She got angry and shot a glass at the TV .

" No...this life is so unfair" she screamed out

and Claire hugged her tightly trying to calm her.

Bella turned to the old man before saying.

" I want to revenge for my parents I want justice so

please help me"she said while wiping her tears.

Everyone was shocked..this is the Same girl who kept crying

since she came but now she looks fearless.

" I will help you in one condition" the old man

said.

" Which is?" She asked impatiently.

" From today onwards you will be known as Alice Lane

daughter of Claire Lane and sister to Harry Lane" the old man said .

Harry was shocked same as Claire .

Why was he giving Alice identify to Bella ....Claire was

happy about the idea because she already likes Bella a lot.

" I accept" Bella said out loud causing Claire to

smile.

Bella Will has become Alice Lane.

" What? No" harry shouted out.

" No one can ever replace my sister" he said

angrily.

" But harry....." Claire tried to talk sense into

him but he left angrily and Bella a.k.a. Alice followed him and met him in the

veranda.

" Harry if you really don't want me I can leave"

she said while Starring down.

" I brought you here remember....so its not that I

don't want you I just feel weird of someone taking my sisters identity".

He said while starring at the clouds.

" You see Alice was like the treasure and light in this

house ....with her around no one could be angry for long.....I lost her and I

value her identity a lot" he added while a tear drop found a way down his

cheek.

" I understand how it feel to loose a love one so don't

bother I will leave your live forever" Bella said sadly and started walking

towards the gate when Harry stopped her.

" Bella wait.....If you will be able to take my sisters

identity and love and consider us as a family and keep the family together then

i will be happy with you being Alice bit if you want her identity just for your

revenge plan then you can leave" he said while giving her a Choice

" Harry in the whole world you are the only person I

know and I will be happy to become a part of your family and be your

sister". She said with confident and it made harry smile before hugging

her.

" Welcome to the family Alice" he said before

kissing her head.

As a sign that she is his responsibility. Its his

responsibility to direct and protect her in her life as her elder brother.

When everything was settled Claire took Alice to the room

and showed her all her cute dresses and even showed her Alice album .

She was so happy Claire already considered and loved her as

her own blood.

" Thanks mom" Alice said shyly and Claire cried in

Joy .. That little statement of hers made her so happy.

It was late at night when Alice had a bad dream.

" Bella....Bella" she heard little Mark crying and

approaching her when he was picked by a man and shot on the wall.

She woke up all sweating and screamed .

" Mark....nooo" she started crying when Claire and

Harry came inside her room.

" What's wrong Alice ? Did you have a night mare?"

Harry asked .

" It was not a nightmare just a repetitive scene"

she said and Claire hugged her tightly.

She could not call her dream a nightmare because its an

event that took place right In front of her....so calling it a night mare will

only mean her family is alive.

Claire and Harry joined her in the bed and they all slept

together trying to comfort each other.

Soon they where all down stairs when grandpa Lane said

something.

" As we all know Alice was on her way to England for

school before...." He said sadly before pausing.

" So since you are Alice now you will have to go to

England for studies and everything you need to know about business and self

defense will be thought there" he finished his sentence and Claire became

angry.

" Father can she not leave please" she begged but

was interrupted by Alice.

" I will do anything you ask of me grandpa" she

said and the old man smiled ....Claire gave up since Alice was willing to go.

A week passed and it was time for Alice to leave.

" Brother am going now" she said while smiling at

harry.

But harry tried to behave neutral trying to hold his tears

in , he did not want his sister to think he is weak .

Just as Alice was about to get inside the car harry rushed

and hugged her

" Alice I will be waiting for you and if you need

anything or if anyone is bullying you just call this big brother of yours

ok" he said before releasing her.

Alice smiled before getting inside the car and the car took

off to the airport.
