Contracted to the wrong twin Her Father's key
Chapter 88: Her Father's Key"It could be a copy," Ethan said, though he didn't sound like he believed it. "A forgery. Someone could have recreated the design.""The photograph is real," Judith said. "I know my own father's face, Ethan. That's not a forgery."Elena was already typing, pulling up older employee databases, cross-referencing names against dates that predated most of the systems currently running the company. "There's another explanation. It might not be a physical card at all.""What do you mean," Judith asked."Legacy credentials from that era were sometimes issued as encrypted digital keys tied to a physical card format, purely for show. The real authorization lived in the chip, not the photograph. If someone extracted that encrypted key years ago, they could recreate the physical card around it easily enough. The photo wouldn't need to be forged. It would already exist in the original file.""So someone has had access to my father's actual credentials," Judith said s

Chapter 87: The Account That Should Be Dead"It's not him," Ethan said. "It can't be him.""I'm not saying it's him," Elena said carefully. "I'm saying his account is active. Those are two very different things, and we need to find out which one is true before we panic."Judith watched Ethan pace the length of the terminal room, hands pushed through his hair, the same controlled composure he wore in every boardroom finally starting to crack at the edges."Pull the full history," he said. "Every time that account has been used since his death."Elena worked in silence for several minutes, the only sound in the room the soft clatter of keys and the low hum of the servers behind the wall. When she finally spoke, her voice had gone quiet in a way that made Judith's stomach tighten before she even heard the words."It's not one access," Elena said. "It's dozens. Spread out over the last six months. Sometimes once a week. Sometimes twice in the same night.""Six months," Judith repeated. "
Contracted to the wrong twin The blackwood secret
Chapter 86: The Blackwood SecretJudith broke the wax seal with shaking hands.Inside was a single folded page, her father's handwriting filling both sides, rushed in some places and careful in others, like he had written it in pieces over several nights.She read it once in silence. Then she read the last line out loud, because she needed to hear it in her own voice to believe it was real."Do not allow anyone to know what I left inside the Blackwood system. Not even the people who claim they want to help you. Especially not them."Ethan went very still. "He wrote that about us.""He wrote that before he knew you," Judith said quietly. "Before any of this. I don't think it was a warning about you specifically. I think it was a warning about anyone connected to Blackwood at all."Elena looked up from the desk. "The wording matters. He didn't hide evidence from Blackwood. He hid it inside Blackwood.""Meaning what," Ethan asked."Meaning wherever this evidence is, it's not buried somew

Chapter 85: The Room Behind The Wall"Answer it," Judith said.Elena's finger hovered over the screen. "If this is a trap—""Then we're already caught in it," Ethan said. "Answer it, Elena."She did, putting it on speaker with a hand that hadn't fully stopped shaking, and set the phone down on the table between them like it might bite.For a moment, there was only static.Then a voice, flattened and stretched by whatever software was pulling it apart and reassembling it into something with no age, no accent, no identity at all."You found the extension faster than I expected."Nobody spoke."That's good," the voice continued. "It means you're finally looking in the right places. It also means you should be more careful than you have been.""Who are you," Ethan said, his voice iron-hard."Someone who watched Richard Blackwood build something he never fully understood," the voice said. "Someone who watched Gerald Thompson die for getting close enough to understand it better than Richard
Contracted to the wrong twin The Extension That Shouldn't Exist
Chapter 84: The Extension That Shouldn't ExistElena arrived eleven minutes later, and the moment Judith opened the door, she understood this wasn't going to be simple.Elena looked exhausted in a way Judith had never seen before — hair pulled back too tight, coat buttoned wrong, laptop bag clutched against her chest like something she needed to hide behind."Before either of you says anything," Elena said, stepping inside without waiting to be invited, "I need you to listen. All the way through. Then decide what you think of me."Ethan crossed his arms. "Start talking.""I know what Sophie described. The voice, the throat clearing, all of it." Elena set her bag down on the table with hands that weren't quite steady. "I've been trying to figure out how to tell you this for the last hour, because I know exactly how it sounds.""Then tell us," Judith said."Someone's been using voice modeling software," Elena said. "It's not difficult anymore, not for someone with the right resources. Y
Contracted to the wrong twin The Voice On The Phone
Chapter 83: The Voice On The PhoneSophie was sitting on the edge of the couch when they arrived, Lily already asleep in her room, a mug of tea gone cold on the table in front of her like she'd made it an hour ago and forgotten it existed.She stood the second the door opened. "Judith, thank god. I didn't know who else to call.""Tell me what's going on," Judith said, keeping her voice level with an effort that cost her more than she wanted to admit. "Now. All of it."Sophie's hands were shaking. "Someone contacted me about six weeks ago. A phone call, no name, just a woman's voice asking if I'd be willing to earn some extra money doing something simple.""What kind of simple," Ethan asked, his tone flat and controlled in the specific way Judith had learned meant he was holding back something much sharper underneath."Answering questions. About Lily's schedule. Which days she had swimming, which park you took her to on weekends, what time she usually napped." Sophie's voice cracked. "
