James, the beloved and successful twin, was preparing for an important business meeting. Meanwhile, his twin brother, John, which he loved so much was sitting in his little apartment, being fraustrated over his misfortunes in life.
John: "Why does he get everything? The wealth, the family, the respect...hmmm."
One day, James was driving back from a business trip when his phone rang, and he picked. It was Emily his wife calling and asking when he will be home.
James: "I'll be home soon. I just need to wrap up a few things, I'm even on my way to take some few documents, then I'll be home."
Suddenly, a truck came into his lane, causing a sorrowful accident. The car was scattered, and James was taken to the hospital in a very serious critical condition. Back at home, John his twin brother received a call from the hospital.
Doctor: (on the phone) "I'm sorry to inform you that your brother James is death. Without a second thought, he rushed to the hospital, where he saw his brother already death.
John: (to himself) "This is it. I can finally take his place."
John: (At the moment after reaching house, practicing in front of a mirror, mimicking James) "Hi family , I'm back. It's been a really tough few weeks for me, but I'm back for you all. Give some hugs."
However, John really felt ready. He arrived at James his twin brothers' home, where Emily and Lily were anxiously and being waiting.
Emily: " My husband! I'm so happy,and I thank God you're back! We were so worried!.
Lily: "Daddy, you're welcome back home!"
John hugged them, feeling a mix of guilty and satisfaction at the same time. He was living the life he always wanted all the time.
However, days turned into weeks, and Emily started noticing small differences. John didn't really behave like James.
Emily: "James, you've been acting different and so strange. What's going on with you?"
John: "It's just the accident, Emily. It's been tough on me. And I think it really affects my brain, that's why I'm behaving this way."
Emily nodded, but her doubts keeps growing. One evening, she found a hidden notebook in John's belongings while arranging their bedroom. The notebook contained a well detailed entries about John's very plan to take James' place.
Emily: (reading the notebook) "This can't be true... So He's not James?."
Emily confronted John, her voice trembling, tears All over her eyes
Emily: "You're not James! You're John! How could you do this to us? Why are you so wicked?"
John: "Emily, please. I needed a new life. I had no choice."
Emily's heart filled with a lot of pains. She was in the middle between anger and sorrow. She knew she had to protect her family.
Emily: "You need to leave, John. We can't keep living in this lie."
John's face fell as he realized the weight of what his actions as really brings. He packed his bags and left, knowing he had lost everything he had work and wish for.
Emily and Lily tried to move on, holding onto the memories of the real James , which was a caring husband and a lovely father.

John: "I thought I could replace James and leave the best life ever after, but I was wrong. I've lost everything in life."

Wow what a gripping and emotional story and the consequences of John's actions were definitely heartbreaking. It's a reminder that honesty and integrity are always the best way to live, even when it's hard... wish you all the best 👍.
Hello respected @emishael60
In your story you told that John had written his plan in a diary, no successful criminal would do this. Initially you wrote that John's twin himself called. But I thought that the doctor did it. But in most such cases the doctor calls the wife or family. But at one place you have shown Emily's pain and anger very well. And it was nice to see John atoning in the end.
Thank you for sending a beautiful story.
