The Great CEO's Wife Is A Gangster 47 Chapter 47: “Should I Tell Him I'm Erika?”

"She's been like that since this morning." Lisa told Caleb. She decided to call him since he might have an idea as to why her best friend is acting weird since she came at her apartment.

"Didn't she talk to you about anything?" Caleb asked.

"No, not at all. She came to my apartment early morning but she didn't talk to me either. She was just sitting near the window while curling to her feet all day. I can't even get to her. seems like she's in another dimension." Lisa was perplexed.

Caleb walks toward Aisha. He is observing her.

"Hey Aisha, did you had a fight with Ethan again?" he asked but Aisha didn't answer.

"Hey Aisha…!" Caleb is already swaying in front of her but Aisha didn't even blink an eye.

"hha! Spare me Caleb. You're such an eye soar! I'll just go and prepare some lunch." Lisa was laughing at him.

"I'll go with you. She'll be alright." Caleb answers then he follows Lisa in the kitchen

Aisha heave a heavy sigh.

"What on earth did I ever do to deserve a fate like this? I thought I had a good life until now. Am I being punished because I agreed to live my sister's life? Ahhh!" her thoughts are in disarray.

"But how come he was my Ethan all along? What a small world! Does he still remember me? Erika? Our promise? Did he even try to find me?" her gaze is still from a far.

"Should I tell him the truth? That I am Erika, his childhood friend?"

"But what's the difference if he discovers that I am his childhood friend. Does it matter? And also, he is already married, married to my twin sister and he loves her very much." Aisha started to tear up.

Caleb and Lisa are in the kitchen. They were arguing earlier as to what to cook. Caleb is too picky when it comes to his diet. They are totally opposite with Lisa that's why she let him cook instead.

Lisa unconsciously stare at Caleb while he is preparing the foodstuffs but Caleb was able to catch her, he smirks.

"I know I am good-looking, but don't you drool on me." He grins.

"What an arrogant fella!" she scoffs at him, "I am just looking at the food!"

"Just admit that you like me Lisa, don't try so hard to convince yourself." Caleb is taunting her.

"I really don't know where you get your confidence young man?" she answered back. Caleb was slicing some onion but he paused. He looked at her.

"So can you explain what's with O-U-R kiss the other night?" He sneered.

"…" she was speechless for some seconds.

"T-That's, that's just. That's not intentional! I was just taunting you!" her voice was cracking. Caleb laughed.

"Lisa, just tell the truth and the truth will set you free!" he is still laughing.

"It's not what you think--------''

"But the truth might be more painful so why bother to tell the truth?" Lisa was about to explain herself but a familiar voice cut her off.

"Aisha!" Lisa exclaims. Aisha walks towards the dining table., pulls a chair then sit beside Lisa.

"But what if the truth hurts even more? What if the truth opens the prison doors itself? What if it will cage you instead" she heaves a heavy sigh. Lisa and Caleb looked at her with confusion. But somehow, Lisa was overjoyed when Aisha b.u.t.t in. she doesn't have to explain herself to Caleb. However, Caleb seems to understand where she's coming from.

"But how will you know the result if you didn't even try telling the truth? Lies will always give birth to another lies." Caleb answered.

"But does it really matters? To know the truth? What if keeping it is the only option to avoid more confusion? Isn't it better that way?" Aisha utters.

"Is it really the only option? What if telling the truth will set the prisoner free instead?"

"But what if somebody will be imprison in exchange of the prisoner's freedom?" Aisha bit her lip.

"But what if the truth is the only key to everyone's freedom? Don't you think keeping it to yourself makes you a little bit selfish?" Caleb insisted.

"But I don't think it's necessary." Aisha embrace her knees once again then she bowed her head to hide her gloomy face.

"Aisha, care to tell us what's happening?" Lisa requested. Aisha sighed. Caleb went back to his dish.

"Remember my childhood friend that I was telling you before?" Aisha utters.

"The one you're supposed to find?" Lisa replied.

"Yes!" Aisha exclaimed.

"What about him? do you know where he is right now?''

"Yes." Aisha looks dejected.

"Aren't you supposed to be happy? Why are you so down?" Lisa was confounded.

"Yeah. I should be happy right? Hha." Aisha fake a laugh. "it was actually Ethan all along!" she let out a cracking laugh, after a while she sobs. Caleb is finalizing his recipe when he heard her. he paused as well as Lisa. They just can't believe it. How on earth did that happen? But should it be a good news though?

"Should I tell him that I am Erika?" she forged a laugh, suddenly she realized something. she tried to recall what Ethan told her that night.

"Wait, he has my bracelet. Did he think Stacy is Erika in the first place!?" she grasps while her eyes widened in realization.
