99 The Mystery of Hailey

"If I could prove that you are Hailey, what will you do? " Dr. Aijohn posed her a challenge.

"You just have too much wine in your system. Sleep first and I'll also prove it to you that I am Grace and not Hailey! "

"Go with me to my room. I'll prove it to you then." Dr. Aijohn said with full confidence.

He held her hand gently and lead her to his room. She did not resist. She was curious as well. Earlier at the hall, she heard them whispered to each other their suspicions that she was Hailey.

Just who was Hailey? And was not the apparatus and the pill, the Hailey's Pen and Hailey's Pill, were named after her? What was her significance into the research?

The moment they were inside his room, she sat by the bed as Dr. Aijohn pulled something out of his luggage. It was a digital tablet. He unlocked it with a password. Then he clicked on the photo galleries.

Her eyes suddenly grew wide as she saw different poses of a woman who, indeed, looked like her! And what shocked her the most was that the dress that Hailey wore looked exactly like the one she was wearing now. She scanned more photos, and indeed, all of those designs in the same fabrics and colors that were custom-made by auntie Max were also worn by her!

She opened another album. Those were even scarier! Those were her intimate poses with Dr. Aijohn. Many of those were even photos of them kissing!

She was too horrified! She was indeed her. But she could not think how it happened!

"Doc, is she your woman? " She glanced at him who was looking intensely at her every reaction.

He looked frustrated. He then sighed as he clicked on a locked video.

" Look at this! See if you can't still remember. This was during our wedding night."

Soon, the sound of moanings of two individuals send chills into the air.

She stared at the video. It was him and the woman, passionately making out...

"Stop it! " She yelled. She could no longer bear to see her image being entangled into a heated scene with a stranger...

"Tell me, Hailey, even with that, you can't still remember? " There were already tears in his eyes.

"I love you, Hailey, how could you do this to me? We made our vows to stay by each other's side forever but why did you disappear?" He said in a very desperate tone.

She sighed in confusion and frustration. How could she also prove it to him that she was not that woman?

Caught offguard, Dr. Aijohn suddenly became impatient that he pinned her to the bed and kissed her hard! She wriggled to free herself but her strength could not match the strength of a broken - hearted man who lost his wit!

Soon, the strange feeling of being kissed and caressed lured her into his advances. Her mind eventually went blank as the peculiar sensation crept into her whole being.

She slowly submitted herself into the man who was dying to hold her again, the man who regarded her as a part of his entire being and the man who knew her as his long, lost soulmate...

It was already too late when she realized that he had taken the very great part of his feminine dignity. Yet, she wondered why she did not feel any guilt nor regret...

To be longed upon, to be loved dearly, to be wanted so badly was such a rare and wonderful feeling! Through all the years that she was running after Jim, all she got were only bitterness and rejection!

She stared for so long into the man who now fell into a deep sleep after breaking the thin sheet of her identity of wholesomeness. He was still hugging her. She couldn't define what she exactly felt. Damn it, he was so stunningly handsome even in his sleep! Even with the influence of alcohol...

Above all, this man who just tore away her purity as a woman, had written his name in those mighty pages of the worlds great medical breakthroughs! And there was yet the "Hailey's Pen and Hailey's Pill" who was about to stir the whole wide world!

Would he still remember what happened tonight? With fear in her heart, she slowly got up and picked each pieces of her dress and lingeries who were now thrown into the floor and put them back on. She then gave him a last glance before she went back to her own room and straight into the bath tub.

What an irony! Within a short span of time, the turning of unexpected events went so fast. She first came out of this room with her complete sense of pride and dignity in that beautiful, peach dress. Only to return, few hours after, with a totally shattered piece. But until now, she did not regret it. If tomorrow, he would not remember everything, she wouldn't care less. It was such an unforgettable experience worth keeping throughout her lifetime...

She couldn't tell how long she stayed in the tub. Too many questions bothered her. She had to find it out. Just who was Hailey and her influence to the research? Why did she wear those same sets of dress she had? Most of all, why were they identical...

The sun was already so high up in the sky when she woke up. She had more than ten missed calls from her mom and five messages.

"Good morning, princess! Are you now awake? "

"Can I pick you at your room? "

"See you at the lobby, my dear."

"Dear, you should not miss your breakfast."

"See you at the restaurant...."

She hurriedly called her mom. "Mom, I'm sorry. Where are you? "

"Gracie, take your breakfast yet!" Hahaay, the endless reminder of an elderly...

She lazily got up and changed into a beach outfit. It was such a beautiful day to waste in bed.

When she was finally about to go out, the buzzer sounded. When she opened up, an attendant greeted her with a warm smile.

"Flowers and breakfast for the beautiful miss..."

She squinted in surprise as picked up the big bouquet of red roses. Why would anyone be giving her flowers?

She picked up the card and read it.

"To my wife, Hailey"

A sense of envy crept up in her heart. If only she could be the real Hailey..If only she could be the real woman to receive the flowers..
