Billionaire’s Twin Deception
Five years ago, Janice Soto stepped into her dying twin sister’s life to keep Eden Duncan from falling apart. Pretending to be the woman he loved was supposed to be temporary, a final promise made in a hospital room filled with goodbye and grief. But somewhere between borrowed kisses, late-night silences, and the life they built together, Eden fell for the wrong sister without ever knowing the truth.
When the deception finally shattered, it didn’t just destroy them, it nearly killed him. And before Eden could wake up and face what she had done, Janice disappeared carrying the one secret that belonged to both of them.
Now she is back in New York, stronger, colder, and no longer willing to lose herself for anyone again. But Eden hasn’t forgotten the woman who betrayed him, and he definitely hasn’t forgiven her.
Then he meets a quiet five-year-old boy with his eyes, his heartbeat, and a smile that feels painfully familiar. Because the truth isn’t just a lie from the past anymore. It’s a child standing right in front of him.

Chapter: Chapter 13EDEN’S POVThe boy says it casually and for a second I just stare at him.The hallway noise disappears, the kitchen disappears. Everything narrows down to the little boy sitting cross-legged on the floor holding a dinosaur drawing.Jack looks completely innocent like he has no idea what those words just did to me.Then Janice appears too fast. One second she’s nowhere, the next she’s crossing the hallway toward us like something is chasing her.“Jack.”Every instinct inside me sharpens because that’s not embarrassment on her face.Jack brightens instantly. “Mama, look…….”“We need to go.”The interruption comes too quickly and Jack blinks in confusion. “But I was talking……”“I know.”Her fingers close around his backpack too tight and I watch her carefully.“You okay?”Her eyes snap toward me.“Fine.”Jack looks between both of us, confused now.The air tightens painfully and I crouch slightly toward him.“See you later, dinosaur expert.”Jack grins then points a warning finger at me.

Chapter: Chapter 12JANICE’S POVI spend the entire night staring at my phone. The screen goes dark and lights up again, sleep never comes because one thought keeps repeating endlessly inside my head.Eden is asking questions he was never supposed to ask and he’s getting answers.By morning my apartment looks like a disaster zone.Old folders cover the kitchen table beneath scattered documents, receipts, medical paperwork, storage slips, and hospital forms that feel far too dangerous to leave untouched.I kneel beside an old storage box while panic crawls steadily higher inside my chest.What still exists, what did I forget, what could lead back to Chloe and what could lead back to Jack.My hands shake slightly while sorting through papers too quickly, nothing feels buried anymore.The secret survived because nobody looked closely enough.Now Eden is looking and once Eden focuses on something, he doesn’t let go easily.I shove another folder closed too hard.Jack wanders sleepily into the kitchen wearing

Chapter: Chapter 11JANICE’S POVI see Eden before I even reach the kitchen. He’s standing outside the service entrance with his hands in his pockets and that same unreadable expression on his face.My stomach tightens because this isn’t about work anymore.The hallway smells like coffee and fresh bread, staff rush past us carrying trays and paperwork.Nobody notices the tension stretching painfully between us or maybe they do.Eden watches me approach. “You’re early.”“I couldn’t sleep.”The answer lands too heavily between us and his eyes stay on mine for a second too long then he asks quietly, “Can we talk?”Every instinct inside me screams no but I nod anyway. We step into an empty storage room near the kitchen.The second the door closes, the air changes. Eden leans against the counter behind him. “How long did you know Chloe?”My heartbeat stumbles hard. “She was my sister.”His expression shifts slightly like he forgot that for one second or maybe he’s still trying to understand it. “How close wer

Chapter: Chapter 10EDEN’S POVI don’t sleep, every time my eyes close, the same things return.Jack’s face, the notebook and the hospital room. Janice going completely silent when I asked about his father.Something is wrong and I know it now, whatever she’s hiding is big enough to terrify her.Morning arrives without rest. By the time I walk into Duncan Enterprises, irritation already sits heavy beneath my skin.Richard notices. “You look terrible.”“Good morning to you too.”“You didn’t sleep.”“I’m fine.”“That bad, huh?”I ignore him and keep walking, my day doesn’t improve. Meetings drag endlessly, numbers blur together and executives keep talking while my thoughts circle somewhere else entirely.Jack laughing in the hospital bed, calling medical equipment dinosaurs and Janice trying not to panic.By noon my patience is gone completely. Richard closes the conference room door after the latest meeting.“You need to let this go.” I loosen my tie slightly. “I’m trying.”“No you are not.” His eyes narr

Chapter: Chapter 9JANICE’S POVThe automatic hospital doors slide open before I reach them. “Where is he?”The nurse behind the desk looks up immediately and recognizes me. “Room 314.”I’m already moving before she finishes speaking, my shoes strike the floor too fast.The hallway blurs around me and room numbers flash past. Voices, machines, doctors, one of it matters, only Jack. I reach the room breathless and push through the door.Jack looks up from the hospital bed. “Hi, Mama.” The sound nearly drops me to my knees, I cross the room immediately.My hands find his face, hair and shoulders. Checking, making absolutely sure. “You scared me.”“I know.” His voice is small. “I’m sorry mommy.” The apology hurts worse than the hospital room because he’s five years old.Five-year-olds shouldn’t apologize for being sick, I press my lips against his forehead. “You never apologize for this.”“Okay mommy.” His fingers curl around mine. The knot squeezing my chest loosens slightly, not enough but enough to brea

Chapter: Chapter 8EDEN’S POVRichard closes Jack’s notebook and slides it back across the desk. “You’re not seriously thinking what I think you’re thinking.”I stare at the notebook cover covered in dinosaurs, crayon marks, and messy childish handwriting, and I don’t answer because he’s right.Richard leans back in his chair and folds his arms. “This is ridiculous.”“Maybe.”“You found a kid’s notebook.”“I know.” Richard exhales slowly. “Children draw imaginary families every day.”I look away toward the city beyond the office windows. Traffic moves below, people hurry across sidewalks and everything keeps movingMy thoughts don’t because every explanation sounds reasonable until I remember the drawings of the same man again and again.Richard studies me for a second then asks quietly, “I’ll ask you this again, is this about the kid or the chef?”I don’t answer and Richard mutters something under his breath then stands. “You’re heading toward trouble.”“I’m reviewing information.”“You’re looking for

Chapter: Chapter 55NADIA’S POVThe courthouse feels colder today, not because of the weather. The first hearing. The beginning of something that suddenly feels too big to stop.I stand outside the courtroom doors gripping Noah’s diaper bag even though he isn’t with me today, my fingers tightening around the strap hard enough to hurt.The hallway smells like coffee, rain, and paper, lawyers moving past in expensive suits while voices echo softly around me.Everything feels too loud, bright. My stomach has been twisting since four this morning.I barely ate or slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I kept imagining the worst possible outcome.Someone taking Noah from me. Even thinking it makes my chest tighten painfully. “You need to breathe.”Diane’s voice pulls me back. I blink quickly, realizing I’ve been staring at the courtroom doors without actually seeing them. “I am breathing.”“No.” Her expression softens slightly while adjusting the folder in her hands. “You’re trying not to panic.”A shaky breath

Chapter: Chapter 54COLIN’S POVThe storm starts before I even walk into the house. Rain crashes hard against the windshield while lightning flashes across the dark sky, the entire city blurred behind sheets of water.Perfect because that’s exactly what this feels like now. A fucking storm.My hands tighten around the steering wheel as I pull into the driveway, jaw locked hard enough to hurt while everything from the last few days keeps replaying in my head.Nadia crying in court. Noah hugging her while she tried not to fall apart. My mother sitting there cold and composed while lawyers picked through Nadia’s childhood like trauma was evidence.Every memory hits harder the longer I sit with it and honestly I’m done. The second I step inside the house, tension hits immediately. Like everybody already knows something’s coming.I throw my keys onto the entry table harder than I mean to, the sound echoing through the hallway while rainwater drips from my coat onto the marble floor.A few seconds later, Melis

Chapter: Chapter 53NADIA’S POVMorning comes slowly. Soft gray light slips through the curtains while rain taps lightly against the windows again, quieter than yesterday, softer somehow.The apartment smells like coffee and laundry detergent. For the first time in days, I stand still long enough to actually notice them.Noah sits cross-legged on the living room floor in dinosaur pajamas, stacking blocks carefully while cartoons play low in the background.“Uh oh,” he mumbles seriously when one falls over. A tiny smile almost pulls at my mouth. I lean against the kitchen counter, wrapping both hands around my coffee mug while exhaustion still sits heavy in my body.But something feels different this morning. Last night broke something open inside me.All that fear. All that shame. All those thoughts telling me maybe Melissa was right, maybe I wasn’t enough, maybe Noah deserved someone more stable, more prepared, less damaged—Fuck that.The anger comes suddenly this time. Hot enough to finally cut through

Chapter: Chapter 52COLIN’S POVThe house feels too quiet. Every sound echoes too much, footsteps against marble floors, the ticking clock near the staircase, the soft clink of dishes somewhere deeper in the house.I stand near the windows in my mother’s dining room, staring out at the gray afternoon sky while rain drags slowly down the glass.I shouldn’t even be here but after yesterday after seeing Nadia sit there looking like someone had ripped every private part of her life open in front of strangers, I couldn’t let it go. The longer I think about it, the worse it gets.My jaw tightens hard as the memory flashes again.Your mother’s addiction history. I drag a hand down my face roughly, exhaling hard through my nose while anger keeps sitting heavy in my chest.The kind that settles into your bones and stays there. “She’s in the study.” I glance toward the housekeeper standing quietly near the hallway.“Thanks.” My voice comes out rougher than I mean it to. She nods once and disappears again while I f

Chapter: Chapter 51NADIA’S POVThe apartment is finally quiet. The kind that presses against my chest and makes every thought louder than it should be.Rain taps softly against the windows again, the city outside blurry from water and streetlights while the clock on the microwave glows past midnight.I should be sleeping. Instead, I’m sitting on the kitchen floor in sweatpants and one of Noah’s blankets wrapped around my shoulders because somewhere between dinner, bath time, laundry, and crying in the bathroom where he couldn’t hear me, I stopped functioning properly.My chest hurts, this deep, heavy ache that won’t loosen no matter how hard I breathe through it.Noah is asleep down the hall. I checked three times already. He’s curled up with his stuffed dinosaur, tiny hand under his cheek, completely peaceful.A shaky breath leaves me as I stare at the legal folder sitting open on the table.Custody recommendations. Financial disclosures. Character evaluations. I’m so fucking tired. My eyes burn again

Chapter: Chapter 50COLIN’S POVThe conference room feels suffocating.Cold lights shine down over polished glass tables, legal folders stacked neatly in front of everyone like this is some normal business meeting instead of people tearing each other apart over a child.Rain hits the windows again softly. The sound fills every quiet second between conversations.I sit near the end of the table, jaw tight, fingers pressed too hard against the armrest while lawyers talk in circles around me.Custody arrangements. Parental evaluations. Temporary recommendations. Every word sounds worse than the last.Across the room, Nadia sits beside Diane, shoulders tense, arms folded tightly across herself like she’s physically holding herself together.And fuck she looks exhausted, worn down in a way that makes something twist painfully in my chest.Her eyes stay mostly lowered while Melissa’s lawyer flips through paperwork calmly. Like they’re discussing schedules instead of her entire life.I hate this. I hate all of
