Angelina wiped her tears in a tissue and looked at her face in the mirror. Today she is going to get married fourth time. But this time, she will not become Angelina Woods rather, Roselia Woods.

She never thought Charlie will make such a plan. He has just reduced her to an artifact that needs to be protected. She has no say in her life. A random woman came and took her identity. All the troubles, all the hardships, she has faced, now belongs to someone else.

'Diana won't survive, if she had to live a single day of my life. '

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Angelina said without looking at the door.

"Hi! Angelina." Diana was standing at the door. She was wearing a miniskirt, and has straightened her hair. She was looking quite beautiful. And a bit too happy for someone who is supposed to be undergoing a divorce.

Angelina looked at herself in the mirror. She is wearing a saree, which her friend, Selena has given as a gift. With matching blue earrings and necklace, she is looking ethereal.

"You are really lucky to have someone like Charlie in your life." Diana said.

"Yes, I know. I am really luck. I have tried it many times." Angelina replied.

"Well, I want to confess something. I used to have a crush on Charlie, when we were in school. Well, I still like him very much." Diana said embarrassingly.

"Then you should have told him earlier." Angelina said in a matter of fact tone.

"I never saw any love or affection in his eyes for me. For him, we were just friends. But last night, I saw his eyes shined whenever he looked at you." Diana said in a slight jealous way.

"Well, it's because you can never be me. You should be really happy, that by switching place with me, you will experience being Charlie's wife for a few hours atleast." Angelina replied.

"Well, I was not expecting this mean energy from you." Diana sounded hurt.

"Well, I was just stating the truth. I can get a bit more meaner if you want." Angelina said with a smirk.

"No, thanks. And congrats to you and your ego for your upcoming marriage with Charlie." Diana said in a rude tone.

"Thank you. And don't worry, I am accompanying you to your divorce proceedings. I would love to see Charlie divorcing you. Remember, just using my name won't make you me." Angelina was feeling a weird pleasure in insulting Diana.

"So, Mr. Charlie Woods, this is your third divorce. Am I right? Your first marriage was with Angelina Wilmanson, second with Bella Wilkins and third again with Angelina Wilmanson." asked the divorce officer while looking at a paper.

"Yes. Correct. And today is my fourth marriage too. I will be really glad if you attend" Charlie replied in a sarcastic way.

The officer gave him a look and switched his glance back to the paper.
"So, Ms. Angelina Wilmanson, this was your third marriage too. First with Charlie Woods, second with Edward Payne and third again with Mr. Charlie Woods."

"Yes, correct." replied Diana, who was now Angelina for the world.

"Please sign here to finalize your divorce." The officer said.

Both Charlie and Diana signed.

"Now I will request the witnesses to sign please. Who is your witness Mr. Charlie." asked the officer.

"My fiancee, Roselia." Charlie said. Angelina, who is now Roselia for the society, signed the paper.

"And Ms. Angelina, yours?"

"My friend, Selena" replied Diana.

Selena, Patrick's wife and real Angelina's friend signed the paper.

"So your two are separate now. And Mr. Charlie has agreed to give his house to Ms.Angelina as alimony." The officer declared.

It was 5 p.m., Angelina was walking towards the aisle in a white bride dress. Charlie was already standing there, looking handsome in his suit.

The ceremony was taking place at a big hotel. Charlie has invited a lot of guests. The whole lawn was buzzing with people talking and laughing.

After talking the vows, Charlie kissed Angelina and the whole crowd bursts into clapping.

______________________________________

Diana was sitting alone on the sofa in Charlie's house, which was given in alimony to her.

'This is so boring. Just sitting here and waiting for someone to attack.' Diana said to herself.

She was trying to not think too much, but can't stop. Angelina's face keeps coming in front of her eyes.

'Charlie is doing all this to save your life and you are so thankless.' Diana's fury rages whenever she thinks of Angelina and the words she said.

'May god give her some brain. She is just like her mother. Mannerless. She only thinks about herself and her struggles. Never sees what others are doing for her. Really churlish.' Diana was feeling a combination of anger and pity for Angelina.

'Angelina's mother, July, is such a disgusting person. I felt bad for Angelina when Charlie told me what all July did to her. But fruit doesn't fall too far from the tree. I bet Angelina would have joined some underworld organization too, if Charlie hasn't entered her life.' Diana has barely talked to Angelina, but her hate for Angelina was huge, as if she was having some life long vandetta with her.
But it was really a vandetta. Angelina's father has murdered Diana's mother, who was a FBI officer too.

'What my mother might be thinking, I am endangering my life to protect her murderer 's daughter. I think she would be proud of me or maybe ashamed. I dont know.' Diana was contemplating deeply, suddenly there was a large bang on the door.

Charlie opens the door of his new apartment. It was a two storey apartment with a big lawn and a small swimming pool. It was quite lavish in comparison to his old house, where Diana was staying.

Charlie enters the house in his groom suit. Angelina comes behind her, wearing the bride dress. Angelina is not talking to Charlie. And Charlie knows why.

He knows Angelina is really upset about the sudden changes. But he thought maybe seeing their new apartment would uplift her mood a little.

"So how's it, Anjo?" Charlie said while looking around the apartment.

"Why are you calling me Anjo? I am not Angelina anymore." Angelina replied in a harsh tone.

"Honey, please. You know I have no other choice. It's for your safety. I love you and can't loose you at any cost. I will do everything to protect you." Charlie said. There was a desperation in his voice.

"This will only protect my body. But what about my mind, my emotions, my memories. They are destroyed beyond repair." Angelina shouted.

"Angelina, you are overreacting. Diana just took your name, not your memories or emotions. You are still the same person." Charlie was frustrated.

"Diana!!! Okay, just tell me one thing.
Did you ever like Diana?" Angelina asked looking straight in Charlie's eyes.

"Yes, I liked her. I always wanted to make her my wife. But never had the courage to ask her. She was better than me in everything, I always thought, she deserves someone better than me." Charlie confessed.

Tears started rolling from Angelina's eyes. "So you married me, cause you think you are better than me. You think Diana is better than me. Right?" Angelina was really hurt.

"Yes, Diana is definitely better than you. She would never be so ungrateful to someone, who is trying to save her life. Angelina, you have started showing your true colors. You are not too different from your mother. Just thinking about yourself. Selfish." Charlie was really angry.

Angelina felt as if time has stopped. She couldn't move or speak. She was really hurt. I can't do this anymore. She turned and ran upstairs and went into the bedroom and locked it from inside. Tears have drenched her dress.

She saw a knife on the bedside table. She took the knife with shaky hands, placed it on her wrist and pulled it. Blood came out like a sprinkle and stained her white gown red.
