Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother

Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother

My life turned upside down the moment I found out I was pregnant. My infertile husband—Ryan Xavier accused me of cheating, he divorced me, humiliated me, and left me questioning my own sanity because I knew I didn’t cheat on him. My world collapsed all over again when the doctor confessed he made a terrible mistake. He had mistakenly injected me with another man's embryo and the baby inside me doesn't belong to any random person...it belongs to Kian Xavier. My ex-husband Ryan’s twin brother. The richest and most feared billionaire tycoon in the city. Now that I’m carrying his child, Kian isn’t ready to let me go just like that. He offered me a one year contract marriage —no emotions, no intimacy, just protection until the baby was born, with no other where to turn to, I accepted. I swore I’d keep my distance… but every time he looked at me, every time he touched me, my heart betrayed me and I found myself falling for him. Then my ex-husband Ryan found out, the man who once abandoned me became obsessed with having me back. He wanted to destroy what Kian and I had, to remind me that I’d once belonged to him. Then my pain deepened when the doctor revealed another truth. I'm pregnant with twins and they don’t share the same father. One belonged to Kian, my new husband, while the other baby belongs to Ryan, my ex-husband. Now I’m trapped between two brothers—one I should hate, one I can’t resist. Both crave me. Both claim me. Neither is willing to let me go. How would I choose between the man who broke me… and the one I was never meant to love.

Chapter: Chapter 65: She's not found yet
Kian's POVI jerked awake, the stiffness in my neck reminding me I had dozed off in the car. My eyes flew to the dashboard clock—7:03 AM.“Shit…” I muttered, rubbing my hands over my face. How the hell did I sleep off?I quickly reached for my phone—no missed calls. No messages. Nothing from Aria. My heart sank.“Maybe… maybe she went home.” I muttered, trying to hold onto the hope. “Please let her be home.”I stepped on the gas, racing through the almost empty streets, not caring about speed limits or the stares from other drivers. I needed to see her. I needed to know she was okay.I burst into the mansion, startling the maids who were just beginning their morning duties.I didn’t greet anyone. I stormed up the stairs, heart thudding, lungs tight. I swung her door open. It was empty.“Aria?” I called, my voice already strained. No answer. I checked the bathroom. Her balcony. Even her closet. Her scent was still lingering but she wasn’t there.I rushed back downstairs, almost trippi

Chapter: Chapter 64: Ryan doesn’t know.
Kian’s POVI didn’t even wait to knock.My heart was pounding violently in my chest, rage clawing at my throat as I stormed up to Ryan’s door. I twisted the knob and shoved it open with a loud crash.The music stopped.Ryan and Ava froze mid-laughter, a glass of wine in Ryan’s hand and Ava swaying lazily to the rhythm. They both turned, startled. But what hit me first, and what made my stomach twist was the sight of Ava. At Ryan’s house?What the hell was she doing here?They looked so damn cozy, like they were celebrating something. Drinks on the table. Empty glasses. Music still echoing faintly from the speaker. Ava was barefoot, curled on the couch. Ryan’s shirt was halfway unbuttoned.It didn’t matter. I didn’t come here to solve their twisted reunion.I stormed in, fists clenched.Ryan shot up from his seat. “Kian? What the hell are you doing here?! Why the hell would you barge into my mansion like you fucking own it?”His words didn't even move me. I closed the distance in secon

Chapter: Chapter 63: Aria is missing.
Kian's POVI had just gotten home from work. The clock on the wall read 9:30 PM. Earlier than usual. I’d pushed everything aside to make it back early just so I could finally give Aria the gift I bought for her.Last night, she was already asleep before I got in. This morning, she had left the house before I could even wake up. I’d planned a dinner date—wanted to propose properly—but since everything kept clashing, I figured I’d move it to the weekend. No more delays after that.But tonight, I’d at least give her the gift. The dress. The ring. Something small to make her smile. Something to show her how serious I am.With that thought, I headed upstairs and stopped at her door. I knocked gently.No answer.I frowned and knocked again, louder this time. Still, no response.A sigh slipped out of me. “Did she sleep off again?” I muttered under my breath. It was only 9:30. And it's still early.I was about to turn around and leave when I noticed something strange. The door wasn’t closed p

Chapter: Chapter 62: Come and meet me.
Aria’s POVThe phone slipped slightly in my trembling hand. My heart was pounding too loudly in my ears as the man’s voice echoed again in my head—“I want to see you.”What?“W-Why?” I asked, my voice barely steady. “Why would I come and meet you when I don’t even know who you are? Who are you?”I didn’t even realize my voice had cracked until I heard myself. My entire body felt tense. I backed up slightly, pressing my hand to my chest as if that would calm my racing heart.Then suddenly... he laughed.A deep, slow, eerie kind of laugh that sent a shiver crawling straight down my spine. I blinked rapidly, eyes scanning the quiet street around me. I didn’t know why, but I felt like he was watching me from a distance. That laugh wasn’t normal. It wasn’t amused either. It was chilling. What the hell was going on?“W-what do you want from me?” I asked again, now more scared than curious.“I’m just a well-wisher, Aria,” he said, his tone shifting into something eerily calm. “I care about

Chapter: Chapter 61: Kian betrayed me.
Aria's POVI picked up the call and held the phone to my ear. “Hey, Valerie. What’s up? Is everything okay?”Valerie’s voice came through, strained and rushed. “Aria, I’m so sorry to bother you this early. My son’s running a really high fever, and I need to take him to the clinic right away.”I straightened, concern tightening my chest. “Oh no. Is he okay? Do you need help with anything?”“I just need you to open the shop for me today,” she said quickly. “Please, handle things while I’m gone. I’ll be back tomorrow, I promise. But I really need to be with him right now.”“Of course, Valerie. Don’t worry about the shop,” I said softly. “Just take care of yourself and your son, alright?”She exhaled in relief. “Thank you, Aria. Thank you so much.”The call ended.I stood still for a second, her worry lingering in my chest. I could only imagine how hard it must be, handling a business and a sick child at the same time. A quiet sigh left my lips as I slipped the phone back into my pocket

Chapter: Chapter 60: The envelope.
Aria's POV I didn’t want to step out today. I really didn’t. But the walls in that house were starting to feel like a cage. I needed air… something different… something normal. So I found myself walking toward Valerie’s shop that morning.It wasn’t far, just a short walk down the street, and the fresh breeze brushing against my skin actually felt good. I smiled to myself just walking, no pressure, or drama. My mind, however, had a different plan.It wandered straight back to yesterday. The chaos. The pain. And then Kian.The way he had jumped into the pool to save me without thinking of himself. The panic in his voice. The desperation in his eyes. Like he couldn’t breathe without me. The way he held me so tightly, as though afraid I’d disappear again. That part replayed in my mind over and over.For a brief moment, it felt like he loved me. Not because I was pregnant or because he felt guilty but because I was me.I almost laughed softly. What was I even thinking?That thought didn’
