Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Decision...

In another room...

Jessica slid on a pair of clean gloves. In front of her, she had three glass cups, some cotton swabs, and three small clear transparent pouches. Inside each pouch were strands of hair—some long, some short, and some grey.

She worked slowly and carefully, just like a professional. She picked up the first glass cup, swabbed it gently to collect anything left behind, and sealed the sample. Then she did the same for the second and third cups. Once done, she turned her attention to the hair strands. Each type was easy to tell apart—Bella’s hair was long and brown, Davis’s was short and dark, and Elliot’s hair was grey and thick.

Jessica had always felt the girl in the picture had an uncanny resemblance to her best friend Bella whom she had met by coincidence and had since shared everything with.

Not having a recollection of her past memory, Jessica had let her bury the past and start a new life. It was funny that on the day of her name she had asked her name to choose a name for herself and she subconsciously said Bella but that was all

And for the past decade, she has been with her but meeting Davis who had mentioned his sister’s name as Bella and with their similarities Jessica had been suspicious.

But then, her worry and suspicion increased with Elliot’s visit. Looking at Davis and Elliot, It was as though they were cut out of the same mold.

Earlier that evening, while they were all having dinner together, Jessica’s sharp eyes caught something strange. It wasn’t something loud or obvious—it was subtle, but she couldn’t ignore it with the rising suspicion.

Even though Bella, Davis, and Elliot were different in age and background, they all seemed to enjoy the same dish. Not just that—they reacted the same way to most things on the menu. It felt unusual.

Jessica had always trusted her instincts. And her instinct tonight told her that this wasn’t just a simple coincidence. Something deeper was going on. The strange similarities in their behavior pushed her suspicion even higher.

So, after the meal, while everyone was distracted with laughter and conversation, Jessica whispered to one of the maids. She told her not to wash the cups. Instead, she wanted them brought straight to her room. The maid obeyed without question. With a plan in mind, she played along with them.

Later, she suggested they all go up to the room set up for fun—karaoke and music. While Bella sang joyfully and Elliot chatted with Davis, Jessica slipped away quietly. She needed this moment to do her little investigation.

As she placed each swab and hair into a labeled pouch, she thought back over the past months, years and week. She had been watching closely. All three of them—Bella, Davis, and Elliot—had so many things in common. Their preferences, their reactions, their gestures. At first, she thought it was simply because they were spending time together. But now, she wasn’t so sure.

The only clear difference she had noticed so far was their opinion on strawberries. Bella loved them—she would eat anything with strawberries. But both Davis and Elliot seemed to dislike them and avoided them completely. That small detail made Jessica even more curious yet was the only thing stopping Jessica from leaping to conclusions

She had series of questions echoing in her mind all through the time the dined "Could they be related? Why the similarities? Why the same taste and preference?" She didn’t want to say it out loud yet. But the thought kept coming back.

Jessica carefully placed all the samples inside a box and sealed it. She planned to send them to her lab tonight but with Davis clingy habit she had to wait till morning. She would have delegated Richard with the task but this she needed to handle carefully and discreetly. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
