Claimed By The Voss Twins CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
NICO'S POVSeven years after breaking the arrangement, Sofia was in second grade.She could read. Write. Understand basic math. She was smart. Observant. Asked questions that made adults uncomfortable."Why do people think having two dads is weird?" she asked one day."Because most families have one mom and one dad. We're different.""Is different bad?""Not always. Sometimes different is just... different.""But you act like being different is important. Like it matters that we're not like other families.""It does matter. Because it shows that families can look different and still work.""But what if I don't want to be important? What if I just want a normal family?"The question hit hard. Because it was possible. At some point, Sofia might decide that the unconventional family was a burden instead of a gift. That being visible and studied was exhausting instead of powerful.We couldn't control that. We could only give her the option to choose."Then you get to choose something diff

CELESTE'S PovFive years after the arrangement broke, someone from my past showed up.A woman. Mid-thirties. She said her name was Victoria Cross. Said she needed to talk to me privately.I agreed to meet her at a café. Neutral territory."I know who you are," Victoria said without preamble. "I know about your family. I know about the structure you've built.""Okay. Why does that matter?""Because I'm writing an exposé. About the Voss family. About organized crime. About how unconventional family structures are being used to mask illegal operations.""We're not masking anything. Everything we do is documented and legal.""Everything visible is legal. But there's a lot that's not visible. Viktor's connections. The businesses that fund your legitimate operations. The money that flows through channels most people don't see."I went very still. Because she was right. We'd restructured the visible part of the operation. But the foundation was still built on criminal enterprise."What do yo

ELI'S POVThree years after breaking the arrangement, we got a call from Lena.She wanted to come home. Said she'd been away long enough. Said she wanted to know her granddaughter properly.Nico was hesitant. "She left because she couldn't accept the restructuring. What's changed?""Maybe she has. Maybe time and distance gave her perspective.""Or maybe she's coming back to manipulate the situation.""There's only one way to find out. Let her come."Lena arrived on a Tuesday. Older than I remembered. More fragile. Sofia was three years old. Didn't know her grandmother. Didn't understand why this woman was suddenly in the house.Lena held her awkwardly. Like she wasn't sure how to interact with a child who wasn't hers through genetics."She has your eyes," Lena told Nico."We don't know whose biological child she is.""But she's yours. Both of yours. That's what matters."It was the most accepting thing I'd heard her say about any of this.Over dinner, she explained what had happened.
Claimed By The Voss Twins CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
Nico's Pov Six months after Castellano's offer, we made a public announcement.Not about the marriage specifically. But about the restructured empire. About dual leadership. About Sofia as the joint heir.The media took it and ran with it.Within days, journalists were calling. Asking questions about the "unconventional Voss family." Wanting interviews. Wanting to understand how two brothers could share power equally. How a child could have two legal fathers."We're becoming a spectacle," Eli said after the hundredth call."We're becoming visible," I corrected. "There's a difference.""Is there? Because it feels like our privacy just became public property."He was right. But the alternative was hiding. Pretending to be something we weren't. And we'd spent enough time doing that.I gave an interview to a major publication. Explained the arrangement without sensationalizing it. Talked about Sofia. About the legal precedent we'd set. About why unconventional families deserved recogniti

Celeste's Pov James Castellano approached me at a coffee shop near campus.I was studying. He just sat down across from me like we'd planned it."You're Celeste Voss," he said. Not a question."I am. And you're the man trying to destabilize my family.""I'm trying to understand it. There's a difference.""Is there?""Yes. Understanding requires genuine curiosity. Destabilization requires malice. I'm not malicious. Just observant."I closed my book. Gave him my full attention."What do you want?""To talk. To understand how this works. Three people. One family. Legally married but emotionally complicated. I'm fascinated by the mechanics.""The mechanics are private.""Everything is private until someone decides it's not. I'm offering you a chance to control the narrative before someone else does.""Why would you do that?""Because I'm not Viktor. I don't want to destroy you. I want to understand you. And maybe offer a different perspective.""Which is?""That what you've built is rema

Eli's Pov The first crack appeared when Sofia was eight months old.Not dramatic. Just small. A disagreement about something insignificant that revealed something significant underneath.Celeste wanted to hire a nanny so she could attend classes full-time. Nico wanted her home more. I thought both of them were right and neither of them were listening to each other."She's our daughter," Nico said. "She needs her mother present.""She has two fathers present. She has you. She has Eli. She doesn't need me here constantly.""We're not the same as a mother.""Why not? You're capable of doing everything I do. You're competent. You love her. Why does it have to be me specifically?""Because you carried her. Because she knows your smell. Your voice. Because you're her mother.""And you're her father. But you're working. You're absent. But somehow that's acceptable when you do it.""That's different. That's providing for the family.""So am I. I'm providing for her future. For her mother's m

Nico's Pov Three months with Sofia changed everything and nothing simultaneously.She didn't care that there were two of us. Didn't understand the complexity of the arrangement. Just wanted to be fed. Changed. Held. Comforted.In a way, she was teaching us something important: simplicity beneath c

Celeste's Pov Two years after the arrangement broke, I was pregnant.Not planned. Not discussed beforehand. Just something that happened because we stopped using protection and started trusting that whatever came would be manageable.Nico wanted to know whose it was. I told him it didn't matter. H

Eli's Pov A year after breaking the arrangement, the empire stabilized.Not intact. Changed fundamentally. But stable. Functional. Operating under our partnership instead of our father's ghost.Viktor's legal challenges went nowhere. The board accepted the dual leadership. Employees adapted. Some

Celeste's Pov Six months into the new arrangement, Dominic showed up at the house.Not announced. Not scheduled. Just appeared at the gate asking to see me. Security called before letting him through. Nico and Eli wanted to deny him access. I said no."I need to talk to him," I told them. "Five mi
