Chapter 35: Chapter 35
The bell of Celeste's apartment rang making both Celeste and Amelia pause from their conversation. Ronin, Amelia's baby was playing with Archie in the living room.
"It might be him. You wait here, I will check." Celeste said with a smile as she got up from her seat and made her way towards the door. Amelia sighed and closed her eyes. In just a span of a few hours her life had completely changed just like a few years ago. She sighed and looked at her baby playing with Celeste's dog. He looked exactly like his father. How would he react when he would find out all this? He herself was so confused with everything. How could Ashley, her own twin sister do this with her? For what? Fame, money and status? What about him? She had misunderstood him all those years. Would he forgive her for being so foolish? She didn’t know. She didn’t know what she was going to do.
If it weren’t for Celeste they all would be living in the darkness for God knew how many years.
"Amy? What are you doing here?" Amelia looked up at the source of the voice and found a familiar face looking at her with eyes filled with surprise. Amelia bit her lips and looked at him in confusion and then at Celeste with questioning eyes. Celeste smiled sympathetically.
"She's not Amy. She's Amelia. Amelia, this is Liam. Rafael's elder brother." Celeste said after heaving a sigh. Amelia got up from her seat and nodded, understanding. While Liam looked at Celeste as if she had lost her mind.
"What do you mean by she's not Amy? What type of bullshit is that and wait why do you need to introduce me to her. We already knew each other even before we knew you." Liam said in confusion while looking at Celeste like she had lost her mind. Celeste already expected this type of reaction. She too had a similar reaction at first. Celeste was about to open her mouth to answer his question when he heard a baby cry. Hearing the baby cry Amelia rushed towards him and picked him up in her arms, calming him down. Liam stared at the baby and forgot to blink. That baby looked exactly like Rafael when he was younger. How could this be possible? What's going on?
"This baby?" Liam asked, his voice filled with shock and Confusion as he looked between Amelia and the baby and then at Celeste. Celeste nodded sympathetically.
"You guessed it right. He is Rafael and Amelia's baby. She's the real Amy while the one currently living in the Mansion with Rafael is Ashley, her twin sister." Celeste said, making Liam look at her in astonishment. He lost his world's as he stared at Celeste for a few moments and then turned towards Amelia and the baby. After a while he composed himself and ran his fingers through his hair because of frustration while sitting on the nearest soft.
"Explain everything, clearly." Liam said in a clear voice as he got himself together to hear the truth. Celeste looked at him first and then at Amelia before finally opening her mouth to tell him about the dark secret she had found out.

Celeste took a deep breath as Liam held her hand in his.
Toronto!
She was again back in Toronto after almost a year. She held Liam's hand tightly while they slowly made their way towards the car waiting for them outside of the airport. A few bodyguards were with them, helping them with their luggages. Celeste turned towards the left where Amelia was and smiled at her. She softly rubbed Ronin's hair and then looked at Amelia.
"Don't worry. Everything will be alright. We will always be with you." Celeste said, reassuring the tensed Amelia. Amelia smiled back at her.
"Thank you." She whispered softly, making Celeste smile at her.
After She and Amelia informed Liam everything Liam was really shocked but he came out of his shock faster than expected. He then called Rafael who was in the USA and informed him to come back to Toronto Via the next flight while he also called his parents to make sure Amy or Ashley stay in the house till they come back. He then assured Amelia that he would make sure everything was alright and punish the fraud.
The tough job for him was to convince Celeste to come with them to Toronto. She was adamant not to come and had locked herself in her room for hours but when Amelia talked to her she finally gave in and agreed. Liam was grateful to Amelia for that.
So after two days they finally landed in Toronto, after a six hour long flight. Rafael has also landed in Toronto this morning and it was afternoon now.
One of the bodyguards opened the car door for them and they all settled down in the BMW car.

The moment Celeste entered the Rodriguez mansion she started to get flashbacks of her pasts which started to make her head spin. She looked at the familiar mansion, the living room, the interior and the helpers. The garden was also filled with her favourite white roses and lavenders. The only thing which had changed was her relationship with Rodriguez. She wasn’t their daughter in law anymore. Celeste closed her eyes and tried to take a deep breath to get rid of the unwanted thoughts and those sweet sour memories.
"Celeste!! Is that you?! Oh my God!!" Charissa's surprised and emotional voice greeted her as she turned around and looked at her with a sad smile.
"Mom!" Celeste whispered before she was wrapped in a tight hug. Celeste prevented herself from sobbing as she told her brain and heart to stay strong before wrapping her arms around her.
"I have missed you much. How could you do this to us? You didn’t even contact us for a whole year." Clarissa said in an emotional voice making Celeste feel guilty.
"I'm sorry mom! I missed you guys too!" Celeste said with a sad smile. Clarissa understood her very well and didn’t say anything further regarding the divorce issue.
"Dad! Celeste turned towards Andrew who was silently standing there watching her.
" Celeste!" He called out softly. Celeste smiled at him and went to hug him. He hugged her back and ruffled her hair.
"How have you been?" Andrew asked with a soft smile.
"Good. How about you? Are you taking good care of your health?" Celeste asked with a smile. Andrew smiled and nodded.
"Yes dear." He said making Celeste smile.
"Won't you give me a hug, Cel?" Rafael asked with a grin making Celeste smile at him.
"Rafe. You have become more handsome, I see." Celeste teased as she gave him a warm hug. Rafael hugged her back and chuckled.
"I've been born handsome." Rafael said cockily, making Celeste laugh.
"Where's Liam? He had asked me to come from the USA so urgently." Rafael asked, looking at Celeste questioningly. Celeste bit her lips nervously as she knew it was the time.
"Liam? Amy! Weren't you upstairs? When did you go outside? And wait? Whose baby is that?" Clarissa's surprised voice made everyone turn towards the entrance of the mansion from where Amelia with Ronin in her arms and Liam beside her, were coming.
"What's going on here?" A voice asked, making everyone turn towards the staircase from where the question came. At the end of the staircase, was standing another Amy with a smile on her face which instantly vanished when her eyes landed on the person who was standing beside Liam with a baby in her arms, looking directly towards her. Everyone's face turned white as if they had seen a ghost while only three people remained calm.
