Chapter 3The Heiress's Perfect Clone: I Stole Her Face to Destroy Her Life

I quickly got my own dedicated subreddit.

[r/HasClone18BeenFiredYet]

Of course, this wasn't an exclusive honor.

My 17 predecessors all had their own threads, created by bored Carter-Sloane shippers.

Carter was a man who got bored easily.

The longest a clone had ever lasted was 25 days.

The shortest was a mere three days.

So, the fans checked the subreddit daily.

They kept a log of the new stand-in, placing bets on how long I would last by Carter's side.

Most bet I wouldn't make it past a month.

A few outliers had higher hopes:

"Maybe this one will break the one-month curse? She seriously looks exactly like our Queen."

Even so, the absolute maximum prediction was three months.

No one expected me to be a survivor. One of me was better than all seventeen combined.

One month passed; I was still there.

Three months passed; still there.

Six months; still there.

Ten months passed...

Carter Harrington announced our engagement.

The internet exploded.
