Chapter 46:The Interview

The police station was a plain building on a side street that looked like it could have been anything else. An office block. A council building. Nothing about the outside told you what happened inside.

Ethan’s lawyer was waiting on the pavement when they pulled up. His name was George Farrell. Tall, late forties, the kind of man who had spent enough time in rooms like this that nothing about them made him nervous anymore. He shook hands with all three of them quickly an

  • Contracted to the wrong twin    The person inside

    Chapter 80: The person inside The conference room on the forty-second floor felt colder than usual. Outside the floor to ceiling windows, London’s night lights blurred into a distant constellation.Ethan stood with both hands braced against the polished table as authorization logs scrolled across the central screen. Blue light carved shadows beneath his eyes.Judith watched him silently while Elena worked at the secondary terminal.“It wasn’t remote,” Elena finally said. “Whoever used your executive authorization code was physically inside this building.”Ethan continued locking every financial subsystem still under his control—payment gateways, legacy transfer protocols, and the old standing-order engine that had somehow survived years of restructuring.“How many people have physical access to the executive wing after midnight?” he asked.“On paper, twelve. In practice, fewer. Three people entered between one-forty and 2:30am on the night the renewal was executed.”“Show us.”Ele

  • Contracted to the wrong twin    2:13 AM

    Chapter 79: 2:13 AMEthan locked down the financial systems himself, standing over Elena's shoulder while she typed, refusing to leave the room until every account tied to Harrow Logistics had been frozen."If someone's using my code," he said, "I want them locked out before they know I noticed.""Already done," Elena said. "But locking the money doesn't tell us who moved it.""Then let's find out who did."We moved to the security archive next, a small room two floors below the executive suite that I hadn't even known existed until that morning. Rows of monitors, years of footage and a single guard who looked startled to see the CEO himself standing in his doorway before eight in the morning."I need building access logs," Ethan said. "Three nights ago. Everyone who entered after midnight."The guard didn't ask questions. He just typed.I stood beside Ethan, my arms crossed tight against my chest, watching the screen fill with names and timestamps. Most of the night showed nothing j

  • Contracted to the wrong twin    The Mark

    Chapter 78: The MarkAll through the night, no one could sleep.By the time the sun came up, the table was covered in old documents, printouts, and the one folded page Thomas had kept hidden for years. The symbol sat at the bottom of almost everything now that we knew to look for it."How did you never notice this?" I asked.Ethan rubbed his eyes. "Because it's small, it's has always been there and my father told me it was part of the original Blackwood seal, and I never had a reason to question it.""You have a reason now.""yes, I know."Elena arrived just after seven, laptop bag over her shoulder, looking like she hadn't slept much either. She took one look at the papers spread across the table and set her bag down without a word."Tell me everything," she said.We did. About Margare, the message, the symbol, Thomas's warning about the committee and the man they only ever called the Chair.Elena listened without interrupting, her face growing more serious with every sentence."I

  • Contracted to the wrong twin    The accusation

    Chapter 77: The AccusationThe words stayed on the screen longer than they should have.ASK ETHAN WHY HIS FATHER KILLED HER.I looked up at him.He wasn't moving."Ethan."Nothing."Ethan, look at me."He finally lifted his eyes, and I had never seen him look like that before. he wasn't angry, neither afraid.Hollow."I don't know what that means," he said."Then say something.""I am saying something. I don't know what it means."Thomas stepped back from us both, like he wanted no part of whatever came next."Margaret can't be dead," I said. "We just found out she had the second recording an hour ago.""Maybe that's why," Thomas said quietly.I turned to him. "What?""If she had proof. Real proof. And someone knew we were about to reach her—""Don't," Ethan said.Thomas stopped.I felt my own pulse in my throat. "Don't what?""Don't finish that sentence," Ethan said. "Not until we know it's true.""And if it is true?"He didn't answer.I stared at him, at the photograph of Lily st

  • Contracted to the wrong twin    The last message

    Chapter 76: The Last MessageMy father's phone was sitting on the table, and suddenly it felt more dangerous than a weapon.“They want this?” I asked.Thomas nodded.“They know you have it.”Ethan's face was hard. “How?”Thomas shook his head “I don't know.”“Someone followed us.” “No.”Thomas looked at him. “They were already watching me.”The room went silent instantly.I stared at the old phone more than necessary with fear.My father's last connection to the truth was now being used against us.And Lily was being used as the threat.Ethan stepped toward me. “They won't get it.”My eyes met his without intending to.“What if they hurt her?” “They won't.”“You don't know that.” “I know we won't hand them the phone.”Thomas interrupted quietly.“You shouldn't make that decision yet.”Ethan turned toward him.“What?”“If they are willing to threaten your daughter for that phone, then whatever is inside it is worth killing for.”“That doesn't mean we give it to them.”“No,” Thomas said

    Chapter 75: Thomas ReedThe location on my phone was not an invitation. It was a warning.BLACKWOOD GROUP HEADQUARTERS.I stared at the message until the letters blurred.“Whoever sent this wants us there,” I said.Ethan took the phone from my hand. “Which means we are not going.”Thomas Reed, who had been sitting silently across the room, suddenly stood.“You have to go.” Ethan looked at him.“No.” Thomas shook his head.“You don't understand.”“Then explain.”Thomas walked toward the window and pulled the curtain slightly.The black car was still across the street.“They want you to believe the danger is outside,” he said. I frowned.“What do you mean?” Thomas turned toward us.“The real danger is already inside Blackwood.”A cold feeling ran through me.“Who?”. “I don't know.”“You must know something.”Thomas hesitated.“I know enough to know that Gerald was right to be afraid.” Ethan stepped closer.“What did my father know?” Thomas looked at him for a long moment.“Your father
