Asher took his evening shower, and stood by the mirror to dry his hair when the light suddenly went off. "Is that a blank out ?" He thought, and the light came on almost immediately, but this time he heard the switch. His heart beat in fear, and he becomes too scared to move. He look through the mirror but saw no reflection so he turned around gently, and was startled to see Piper behind him. "What? How did you got there ? When did you get there ?" He asked, in astonishment. He looked at her with wide eyes, and looked back at the mirror, but her reflection didn't appear in the mirror. "You, you, you are invisible in the mirror." Asher said, already shaking. "Yes, I'm invisible to mirrors and everyone else expect you, that's because I'm a ghost." Piper said, and her words echoes in Asher's ears, almost causing him to pass out. * * What role do you think Piper will play in Asher's life?

Asher Ryder arrived at the airport, and his driver approached him.
"Welcome back, sir." Mr. Kaye, his driver said with a bright smile, and collected him luggage.
"Thank you, Mr. Kaye. Although I know you enjoy it more when I was away." He teased.
"Of course not, sir, I had really missed you, and besides my wife and I are currently having issues, so home is not so sweet to stay." Mr. Kaye said, and they both laughed.
Mr. Kaye opened the door for him and he entered the car, he has been in Florida for three months launching their new project there, but he made sure to finish up so he could return home to start preparations for his wedding, which is in a month.
.
"Sir, are you heading straight to the mansion?" Mr. Kaye asked, referring to his parents house.
"No, take me home first. I need to prepare somethings at home."
"Ok, sir."
*
They pulled off at his resident, and he get down from the car - after exchanging greetings with his few staffs, he head straight to his room to freshen up before working on the summary he is to submit to his father concerning the project success. He worked on that for hours and ran out of time, so he sent a message to his fiancee who is already at his parents mansion awaiting his arrival; he notified her that he might join them late, or perhaps visit tomorrow.
He worked till late in the evening and heard a knock on the door, he could tell its his maid coming to serve him coffee, because they all knew him well, he never take a break to drink at least coffee whenever he is working.
"Come in." He muttered, loud enough for whoever is by the door to hear.
"Sir, I brought you coffee, your favorite wine and deserts. You should have the coffee while it's warm." The maid said, and he smiled.
"Thank you, I will have the coffee." He said, and slipped from the mug of coffee.
"I will excuse myself now, sir." She said, and he nodded before she left.

Asher got clad on a causal wear and drove off, heading to his parents' mansion. He arrived at the mansion - exchanged greetings with the few staffs and was directed to the garden where his parents were.
"Asher, you are already up." His mother said with a smile, confusing him.
"Already up? I don't understand."
"Leave that, you haven't send the summary to me, I let it slide yesterday because of Olivia." His father said.
"I sent it to your mail this morning. But I don't understand what you meant by letting it slide last night. I couldn't come yesterday as agreed because I had to work on somethings, and I finished up late." He said, and his parents seem puzzled.
"What do you mean by you didn't come last night ?" His mother asked, obviously baffled.
"It was Axel." His father muttered with clenched fist, and it hint on him that his twin brother had probably impersonated him again last night. He made a fist, and his eyes widen when he realized that his fiancée was there.
"Olivia." He called, and ran off, heading inside. He ran to his room and slugs the door open to see his fiancee on bed with his twin brother who is fully awake.
"Hi, Twine." Axel said, with a smirk and Asher's jaw dropped.
"Olivia." He called, trying to control his emotions.
"She is still asleep, shhhh... you are going to wake her." Axel said, with an evil smirk plastered on his lips.
"You b@sted." Asher shouted, and bounced on his brother, they both engaged in a fight and Olivia woke up looking confused.
"Asher." She called, and they stopped exchanging punches. She covered her mouth with her palm as she realized what she had done; she failed to differentiate between her fiancé and his brother.
"I'm so disappointed in you." Asher said, and left.
"Babe, Asher, babe." Olivia shouted, running after him.
He passed by his parents who have identical sad expressions, he headed straight to the parking lot and Olivia failed to catch up with him before he drove off.
*
He parked along the road and hit his car steering in anger. He and his twin brother are very identical that their parents always failed to differentiate between them. But as they grew up, their behaviors shows their differences, they might be identical, but they have opposite personalities. His first girlfriend in high school failed to differentiate between them during prom night, and danced with Axel instead leading to their breakup, and his next girlfriend after that also went to kiss Axel at an event that they both attend together, clad in identical clothings. Axel always rubbed it off his face, that he can easily fo0l any lady he date. But it has been different with Olivia, they dated for two years, and she has never mistaken them for each other, until now. He felt betrayed, even if no one could differentiate between them, he expected the woman he plans to spend his rest of his life with to be at least different.
*
He got home and went to his room, sulking on his pillow, he hat£ the fact that he had a twin brother who does nothing but impersonate him in every given opportunity. He was lost in his thoughts, reminiscing all the time Axel had impersonated him when he heard a knock on the door, he didn't respond to the knock but the door open - and he could easily tell that it was Olivia. He might be generous with his workers, but there are boundaries to his generosity, they can never barge in without getting a respond.
"Babe, I'm sorry, please I'm so sorry." She cried.
He glared at her in furry, he could forgive anything, he might have forgiven her if he caught her with someone else, but his brother is different, because she thought it was him, and that's the worst sin that he could never forgive.
"Why were you with Axel ?" He asked, he hope she could give a different reason, that differ from the obvious, but he knows better.
"I'm sorry Asher, I was deceived, even your parents were."
"Olivia, you are right, my parents were deceived, they always were because Axel is good at manipulating people while impersonating me. I told you about my past relationships and all the obstacles I had faced because of him. But you promised to be different, the only promise i requested before we started this relationship; but you failed to keep it."
She sniffed in, tearing up. " I'm sorry Asher, I'm sorry. But believe me, nothing happened between us, nothing happened, believe me; I'm on."
Asher laughed. "Either anything happened or not, it doesn't change the fact that you failed to identify us. If you weren't on, something would have happened. And if we were married, same is bond to happen. You didn't cheat on me, but you failed your promise to me." He said, and uncontrollable tears flow freely from her face.
She has always managed to identify them even if they are on same outfits, and even at times when she fails; she always plays it smart, but now it's gone, she failed to identify him in the worst way ever.
*
Asher left the house since she refused to leave, he went to his best friend, Micheal Grey, to pour out his pains.
"Gosh, man. Now there is no wedding to plan." Michael said, in disappointment.
"Is that your concern now?" Asher asked, obviously angry. Micheal is always nonchalant, no matter the situation; at times he wondered how they became that close since elementary school.
"Man, the deed is already done. So we shouldn't sulk on that, but brooooo, we were planning a f¥cking wedding. A wedding, mannnn...". Micheal said and Asher sighed in disbelief.
"I don't know how to react to this, I'm fed up. We would've been married a year ago, but we had to adjourn it because of my busy schedule and now, see what happened, when our wedding is just a month away." He lamented.
"Man, are you crying ?" Micheal asked, when he noticed that Asher eyes swell in tears.
"I don't know what to do man, I really love Olivia." He cried, and Micheal patted him gently, unsure of what to do.
"You need a break, Asher, since you became the Vice Chairman, how many times have you went on a long break ?" Micheal asked, and Asher looked at him.
"I don't know, I doubt if I ever had a long break." He muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.
"That's the point man, now you need to take a break, take a break from all these drama, take a long break, and resume when you heal. That's the only remedy to solve your heartache." Micheal said, and Asher took the advice.
*
Asher left later when he got a message from his father, so he headed to the mansion to see him.
"Son, I don't know the right words to say. Axel was supposed to be in France." Mr. Ryder said.
"Dad, I believe you didn't call me here to reflect on that. I don't want to talk about it."
"I'm sorry, son, I hope you can forgive your mother and I for making the same mistake again."
"Can I leave now ?" Asher asked, already fed up.
"Olivia came to me, what will happen to your wedding now ?"
"I don't think I have to answer that, she failed to identify me and went to bed with my brother. What do you think my decision will be ?"
"Asher, but calling off the wedding is a great loss to us."
"Dad, what do you advise I do ? Marry the woman that failed to recognize me ?" Asher said, with wide eyes.
"Have you forgotten that you are messing with the Wilson's?"
Asher shake his head in disbelief. "I have worked so hard all my life growing the company, I barely had time for a break. But I love it, because I choose it, and now you want me to sacrifice myself to be with a woman that can't even recognize me."
"Asher, do you think it's easy to differentiate between you two? Did you know how hard your mother and I suffered to tell your difference? Axel is good at manipulating others, and his hubby is impersonating you. You can't blame anyone for that."
"That's the problem, Dad, I am yet to find someone who loves me genuinely, someone who can differentiate me from thousands of people no matter how identical we are, even my parents aren't that person, neither is Olivia."
"Do you think you will ever find that person ?"
"I wish."
"Asher, you can't call off your wedding like this."
"Dad, I want a break, a break from everything."
"A break ?"
"Yes, I want a break."
"Till when ?"
"Till my head settles." He said, and took the exit.
*
He went to his room, searching for nice places to go for his break, he decided to go for a change, so he looked up places in the countryside - there he saw a nice vacation house that has been on sale for over a year at a very cheap rate. He checked the view wondering why it's so cheap, without hesitating, he contacted the agent and purchased it.
"Amazing, this is the best thing I have spent my money on so far ." He thought happily.
*
He parked his luggage ready for his trip when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." He muttered and one of his maid came in.
"Sir, are you set ?" She asked.
"Yes, you can carry my luggage downstairs now."
"Sir, your luggage is so big, how long will you take this time?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I hope I won't stay too long."
"We're going to miss you, sir."
"You can all take a break as well, drop by to tidy up the house; you don't have to lounge around here all day." He said, and headed out.
He gets outside and saw Olivia alighted from her car, she has been flooding his cellphone with messages and calls which he ignored, so he wasn't surprised by her visit.
"Asher, please let's talk." She said, and she saw the maid dragging out his luggage. "Are you going on a business trip again ?"
"No, I'm taking a break, excuse me." He said and intends to leave but she held him back.
"When will you be back?"
"Don't wait for me." He muttered.
"Asher, our wedding is in a month."
"I thought, I made myself clear the last time."
"How do I explain this to my parents?" She said in tears.
"The same way I did with mine, should I do it on your behalf?"
"Asher, this isn't fair, let's talk when you are back." She said and entered her car.
He let out a sigh and his driver helped him put the luggage in the trunk, before opening the backseat for him.
*
*
He entered his new vacation house and felt chills, so he decide to get some rest. He went to the room to take a long nap and was already fast asleep when the light suddenly went off, he opened his eyes wondering what was wrong with the light. He has never experienced a blackout before so he was confused. He got up and on his phone flash to go see what's wrong - as he twist the doorknob, he started hearing strange footsteps, which took him aback.
"Mr. Navil, is that you ?" He asked, wondering if it was he house agent.
"Why will he barge it?" He thought and went out, then the light suddenly came on again - scaring him more, and he almost jumped.
"Who is there?" He asked, in fear, as he felt shivers down his spine.
"Who are you ?" He heard an echo, and the light suddenly went off again.
"Arrghhh...." He screamed in panic when he felt a hand touch him. He composed himself to be sure of the feelings; when the light went on, he turned to see a young beautiful lady. His eyes widen in fear, and his vision went blank.
