EDEN'S POV

Yes.

The word should feel like an answer.

Instead it feels like an explosion.

For several seconds I simply stare at Janice because my brain can't seem to process what just happened, and even though I've suspected it for weeks, even though every timeline and every instinct kept leading me here, hearing her finally say it out loud hits harder than I ever imagined.

Jack is my son,my son.

The thought repeats endlessly inside my head while Janice sits across from me with tears running dow

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 39

    JANICE'S POVI can't stop staring at the photograph sitting in the middle of Eden's dining table because suddenly everything makes sense and absolutely nothing does.The surveillance image remains spread out beneath the apartment lights while nobody says a word for several seconds, and the silence feels heavier than any argument we've had so far.Amanda breaks first."Oh, hell no."Nobody disagrees.Eden remains staring at the image.Not defending her, not exactly.Just struggling to connect the woman he knew with the woman sitting across from a reporter investigating his family.Richard leans forward and rubs a hand across his jaw."Maybe there's another explanation."Amanda immediately turns toward him."Name one."Richard opens his mouth, then closes it.Amanda points at him. "Exactly."Despite everything, a tiny part of me almost laughs because nothing about this feels funny.Amara flips through several documents."The meeting wasn't a one-time event."That gets everyone's attenti

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 38

    EDEN'S POVThe photograph refuses to leave my mind.Not because of what it shows, but because of who has it, because somebody deliberately searched for that photograph, somebody found it and somebody wanted it found.The meeting breaks apart slowly after Amara reveals the pictures, but nobody actually leaves emotionally and the tension follows all of us through the apartment like an unwanted guest.Janice sits quietly on the couch with her arms folded tightly across her chest while Amanda remains beside her, and for the first time since I've known her, Amanda looks genuinely worried.Amara spreads documents across the dining table and immediately takes control."This stopped being celebrity gossip a while ago." Her finger taps several pages. "At first it looked random, but now it doesn't."Richard leans forward. "What changed?""The pattern."Nobody interrupts.Amara flips through another file."The reporter started with Duncan Enterprises, then Chloe, then old hospital records, then

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 37

    JANICE'S POVOne phone call changes everything.The moment I lower the phone and tell Eden someone from the press has started asking questions, the fragile peace we've spent weeks building begins cracking all over again because secrets are dangerous, but public secrets are worse."How much do they know?" Eden immediately pushes away from the window and starts walking toward me.I shake my head."I don't know."The answer sounds pathetic even to me.For a second neither of us speaks.The city glows beyond the hospital windows while distant voices drift through the hallway, but suddenly all I can hear is my own heartbeat.Because this isn't about me and never was, it's about Jack, always Jack, and that's why the next morning the hospital feels different to me, not openly dangerous but watched, as though invisible eyes are following every movement.A nurse pauses a little longer than usual while speaking to Eden, two visitors whisper near the elevators, and I catch someone taking a photo

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 36

    EDEN'S POVFor a moment I can't answer.Not because the question is difficult but because it's easy.Jack sits in his hospital bed hugging the giant dinosaur Chan sent him while looking up at me with complete trust, and suddenly every possible answer disappears except the truth.My eyes drift toward the window for a second before returning to him."Yeah."Jack waits, so I keep going.A lump forms in my throat."Yeah, buddy." My voice comes out rougher than expected and I have to clear it once. "I would've stayed."The smile that spreads across his face is immediate like there was never another possible answer. Like he never doubted me for a second.The realization hurts more than it should because outside the room, hidden beyond the partially open door, Janice hears every word.I don't know she's there, I don't see her but the answer reaches her anyway.For five years she carried the belief that she was protecting people, and now three simple words remind her of the choice she took aw

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 35

    JANICE'S POVThe truth is finally out.For five years I feared the revelation and spent countless nights imagining what would happen when Eden learned the truth, yet somehow everything feels more uncertain now than it did before because secrets are predictable.The future isn't.Morning arrives with good news, actual good news. The kind doctors rarely deliver without adding a dozen warnings afterward.Jack's recovery continues improving and every specialist who enters his room seems slightly more optimistic than the last, while nurses smile more often and conversations about discharge begin appearing in medical discussions.For the first time since his collapse, going home feels real.Jack takes the news exactly as expected."Days?" He stares at the doctor like she's personally insulted him. "You said days."The cardiologist barely looks impressed. "That's generally how recovery works."Jack throws both hands into the air. "I've already been trapped here forever.""You've been here tw

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 34

    EDEN'S POVI don't leave but I don't stay close either.The words I spoke to Janice last night still sit heavily between us and every time I look at her, I hear them again.The worst part is that both things are true.By morning the hospital is already awake as nurses move through hallways carrying charts, doctors begin rounds and patients slowly emerge from rooms in search of coffee and better news, while I sit beside Jack's bed trying to focus on the only thing that feels simple right now.Him.Because Jack isn't complicated.Jack likes dinosaurs, Jack hates vegetables. Jack asks too many questions. Jack exists completely outside the war happening inside my head.He glances up from a dinosaur coloring book and narrows his eyes suspiciously."You look tired." I let out a laugh. "Thanks.""I'm serious." He points a crayon at me. "Your face looks sleepy.""That's somehow worse."Jack nods confidently. "I know."The answer comes with so much certainty that I can't stop smiling.For a li

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 19

    EDEN’S POVJanice's silence follows me everywhere because if she were innocent, if I were completely wrong, if this entire thing existed only inside my head, she would have answered the question immediately.Instead she looked terrified.I spend the next two days trying to focus on work but it does

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 18

    JANICE’S POVThe question hangs between us long after the words leave Eden's mouth.For a second I forget how to breathe. The parking lot disappears, the traffic disappears, and everything narrows down to the man standing in front of me waiting for an answer I have spent five years avoiding.My pul

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 17

    EDEN’S POVThe word follows me home. It follows me into the elevator, into my apartment and into the silence waiting behind my front door.By morning I still hear it, I stare at the ceiling long after sunrise trying to convince myself it meant nothing.Children say strange things, dream, get confus

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 16

    JANICE’S POVThe drive to the police station is the longest drive of my life.Every red light feels personal, every second stretches endlessly and every terrifying possibility crashes through my head before I can stop it.Hospitals, accidents, funerals and loss. The same fears I’ve lived with since
