"I wasn't the one who killed her, dad...why do I have to confess for a crime I didn't commit. Besides, I think my drinks were spiked, these things are not my fault, please dad. Listen to me." Kozette cried as she held her father's hands.
"There's nothing I can do for you again, I don't even know who sent the video, and that's the crazy part." He shot as he pulled his hand from her, and she fell hardly to the ground.
"Solve this yourself." He said.

"Come in, dear." Helena said as she opened the door for Logan to walk in and he did, stretching his hands to her.
"How did you know I like strawberry shortcakes?" Helena smiled as she collected the box of cupcakes and he smiled.
"Someone whispered it to me." He muttered as he walked in completely.
"Hallie, right?"
"You got that right." He chuckled.
"I'm glad to see you are getting along. I've been so happy ever since you took Hallie to check out your room, I noticed a change. I'm so glad. I was afraid you guys would not get along."
"Why not? We would get along really fine. Hallie...." He paused as he saw her, looking down at him from the stairs. A smile crept up on his lips as he looked at her.
"She's exactly the kind of person I want to be with. She's my kind of girl." He said and Helena paused her lips as she followed his eyes and he saw Hallie on the stairs, staring at him.
She scoffed lightly as she turned back up the stairs and walked back into her room.
"I'll like to go her room." Logan said immediately and Helena nodded. He rushes after her, taking the stairs three at a time, before he got to her room. She was about locking the door, but he was fast enough to push it open.
"Get out." She said as she stared at him and he smirked, walking into the room deeper.
"Really? You want me to leave and what? Tell Hallie's parents that you are living in their daughter's body?" Logan asked and she sighed.
"Are you threatening me?" Edna asked, a smirk appearing on her face and Logan nodded once.
"Everyone would think you are mad." She said, and folded her hands.
"I have a way of making people believe my words. By the way, they'll think I'm right. The president's son is saying something really important about his bride who he acts like he loves so much. What a wonderful headline. Billions would come from it."
Hallie banged the door close and turned back to look at him.
"Were you always this talkative?" She asked and he pursed his lips as he sat on her bed.
"You have never really spoken with me."
"Hallie has and she never told me you were a talkative like this." She said.
"Do you and Hallie get along really well? She's your murderer,. remember?"
"You sound like you want me to hate her."
"Yeah, I don't support forgiveness or leniency."
"Like you are not part of them."
"You can take your vengeance on me later. Keep the best for the last, but I want to help you take revenge first. On all those who had bullied you."
"What bullshit are you talking about?" She raised her brows and Logan sighed as he got up from the bed, his height overshadowing hers.
"I know you want revenge, Edna. That's why you are here."
"No, I don't know the reason I'm here and didn't really think much about it. It's not something I placed my mind on. Revenge is just an afterthought when I appeared in Hallie's body." She said.
"I don't care about that. Whether revenge is an afterthought or not, I just want to help in your vengeance."
"I won't work with an enemy." She mouthed as she smirked.
"I know you know I'm not an enemy. I may seem like it-"
"Yeah,.you seem like it."
"But I'm not like that." Logan ended and she pursed her lips tightly as she shook her head.
"Sorry, but I judge books by their cover. I don't read them."
"We were the best students in our class then Hallie. I'm pretty sure you read books."
"Don't you get the sarcasm underneath my words?" She glared at him as he smirked.
"I'm used to people telling me things to my faces. The real truth, cos they fear me as tej president's son."
"So....should I sympathize with you or what? You want me shed tears?" Edna shook her head, coming closer to him. She only stopped when she realized how close her lips were to his.
"There's a reason I didn't bully you. Like you said, I'm exactly like my cover. But not with you." He said, his face inches away from her,.his hot breath fanning on her face as they got lost in each other's eyes. Edna cleared her throat as she moved back, fanning her face with her hands.
"I'll think about your request, so get out." She said, opening the door and Logan smirked.
"I'll take that as a yes. Goodbye, Edna." He said and she blinked, it's been so long since anyone except Hallie call her that. Called her real name, Edna Young.
"Goodbye," She said before closing the door right on his face.
Logan sighed as the air that accompanied the banging of the door, blew his hair upwards and he breathed out deeply, a half smile on his lips as he stared at the door.
"Thank you- for being alive, Edna." He muttered and walked away.
Gray stood some feets away from Logan who had not seen him, and his eyes flickered between the door and Logan's retreating back. When had Hallie and Logan gotten so close, enough to now enter each other's room willingly? He scoffed lightly as he walked towards Hallie's door, knocking loudly.
She opened the door and peeked out from inside.
"Hey," She mouthed.
"Can I come in?" He asked and she opened the door widely. He stepped in,
"What do you think about Logan?" He asked and she blinked.
"What would I think about that douchebag?" She scoffed.
"You never thought Logan was a douchebag, you only thought he was way higher than you in the chain of wealth." Gray said and she closed her eyes, opening them back.
"He's a douchebag because he's richer than me." She replied and Gray sighed.
"Do you want to get married to him?"
"I'm not ready to break the engagement yet." She replied. Since Logan was willing to help with her plans, his wealth and influence would really be useful and breaking up with him was totally something she didn't want. It could scatter all her plans.
"I know you don't want this, Hallie. I can help you convince dad, you'll leave this country for a while and get your senses back." He said.
"You think I'm not okay?" She raised her brows.
"No, I think you are acting weird. I think you are not Hallie, the normal Hallie that I know." He said and her eyes moved. Why was everyone suspecting her?
