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 60EDEN'S POVOne Year LaterThe first thing I hear every morning isn't my alarm.It's Janice."Eden…... the pancakes."I open one eye."What about them?""They're burning."I close my eye again."They'll build character."She throws a pillow at my face."Get up."I laugh into the pillow."I thought we agreed you liked my cooking now.""I like surviving it."I finally sit up, rubbing sleep from my eyes, and immediately notice two toothbrushes standing together in the bathroom doorway.Same place, same habit.One year later.Some things never change.I smile before I even realize I'm doing it.Janice catches me."You're staring again.""At what?""My toothbrush.""I was remembering.""You've become sentimental.""I married you.""You really did.""I've never recovered."She walks over, wraps both arms around my waist and rests her chin against my shoulder."I don't want you to.""I wasn't planning to."She kisses my cheek."Good answer."Before either of us can steal another kiss, the bed

Chapter: Chapter 59JANICE'S POVThe first thing I hear on my wedding day isn't birds.It's Chan shouting."I refuse to accept those flowers!"Someone shouts back."They're roses!""They're positioned aggressively!"I sit up in bed laughing before I even open my eyes.Amanda walks into my room carrying a garment bag over one arm and coffee in the other."I see you're awake.""I think the entire hotel is awake.""Chan has declared war on floral arrangements.""Who won?"Amanda takes a sip of coffee."The flowers."I laugh again."You don't look nervous.""I haven't had time.""Oh, don't worry."She smiles far too sweetly."I'll fix that."She unzips the garment bag.The wedding dress appears.I stop breathing."Oh…..."Amanda's smile softens. "I know."I reach out carefully, running trembling fingers across the fabric."It's beautiful.""No."She gently squeezes my shoulder. "You are."An hour later the bridal suite is overflowing with people.Hair stylists.Makeup artists.Celine carrying pastries becaus

Chapter: Chapter 58EDEN'S POVThe DNA report sits inside the drawer exactly where I left it yesterday.I open the drawer, look at it and close it again.Behind me Janice laughs."You're doing it again.""I know.""You've opened that drawer three times.""I wasn't counting.""I was."I turn toward her.She leans against the kitchen counter wearing one of my hoodies while flipping pancakes with entirely too much confidence."You said it could wait.""I did.""You don't sound convinced.""I'm not."She places another pancake on Jack's plate before looking back at me."Eden.""Hm?""If you keep staring at that drawer, you're going to burn a hole through it.""I've burned other things.""The toast.""The toast was one time.""It was yesterday."Jack raises his hand."I'd like the court to know the toast was scary."I point my spatula at him."It built character.""It built smoke."Janice laughs so hard she has to grab the counter."He's right.""I live with traitors."Jack grins."We're family."The word set

Chapter: Chapter 57JANICE'S POVThe first clue that Eden has unofficially moved into my apartment isn't the suitcase.It's the toothbrush.I walk into the bathroom early the next morning, reach for mine, and stop.There are two.Mine and his, standing side by side like they've been roommates for years. I stare at them for a second before smiling to myself."Well." A sleepy voice drifts in from the hallway. "I was hoping you'd notice."I turn around. "You're awake.""Barely."He leans against the doorframe with messy hair, wearing an old T-shirt and looking so comfortable in my apartment that my heart quietly forgets how to behave."You left it on purpose.""I did.""You could've asked.""I was going to.""What happened?"He shrugs."I got distracted.""By what?""You."I roll my eyes."That was smooth.""It wasn't.""It really wasn't.""Can I try again?""No.""Fair."Before I can walk past him, he gently catches my wrist."So…...""So?""Can my toothbrush stay?"I pretend to think about it."I'll allow

Chapter: Chapter 56EDEN'S POVThe DNA report sits unopened on the coffee table.Every time my eyes drift toward it, I look away again.Not today, today belongs to her.The first morning after she said yes deserves sunlight instead of questions.I slip quietly out of bed, careful not to wake Janice, but the second my feet touch the floor, she mumbles something into the pillow.“You're escaping."I freeze."I'm making breakfast."One sleepy eye opens."That's exactly what someone escaping would say.""I'm offended.""You should be."I laugh quietly."You've been awake this whole time?""No.""No?""I woke up when you stopped hugging me."That sentence almost sends me back into bed. Instead, I walk over, lean down and kiss her forehead."Five more minutes."She catches my wrist before I can move away."Bring coffee.""I was already planning to.""I know.""Then why ask?"She smiles without opening her eyes. "Because I like hearing you agree."I shake my head."I'm marrying a professional negotiator.""No."

Chapter: Chapter 55JANICE'S POVIt isn't Chloe's ring, it's mine.I stare at the small velvet box resting in Eden's hand while the ferry glides quietly across the water, and for several long seconds my brain refuses to catch up with what my eyes are seeing."Eden…...."He smiles nervously."I know.""No…... you don't.""I probably don't.""You definitely don't."He laughs under his breath."I had a speech.""You had a speech?""I practiced it.""For how long?""Three days."I blink. "You're serious?""I even timed it.""Oh no.""I forgot all of it."That makes me laugh, the kind that makes my shoulders shake.He rubs the back of his neck."I liked you better when you were crying.""I'm not crying anymore.""I noticed.""Now I'm laughing at you.""I also noticed."He opens the box.Inside is a simple diamond ring.Elegant and new.Untouched by anyone else's memories."I didn't buy this because I wanted to rush you," he says quietly, looking at the ring instead of me. "And I didn't buy it because I expect

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
