Chapter 64: The Interview

By morning, Judith had made a decision.

She was going to do the interview.

She sat at the kitchen table while Lily colored a picture beside her. The television crew was expected that afternoon, and Sarah had already sent a list of questions Judith might be asked.

Judith stared at them without reading.

Her mind was still with Ethan.

He had called late the previous night and told her only that he had found something important.

He had refused to discuss the details over t

  • Contracted to the wrong twin    The Memory

    Chapter 89: The MemoryThe screens stayed black for a long moment before flickering back to life on their own, as if whoever had taken control of them had simply let go once the message landed.Nobody spoke about restarting the search for Marcus right away. Judith stood frozen in the middle of the room, staring at nothing, her mind pulled somewhere far away from the terminal and the cold blue light of the office."Judith." Ethan's hand found her shoulder, gentle. "Talk to me.""I remember something," she said slowly. "The night before he died. I was young, but I remember it clearer now than I have in years.""What happened."She closed her eyes, letting the memory settle instead of fighting it the way she had for years without realizing she was fighting anything at all."He came into my room late. Past my bedtime. He never did that." Her voice wavered. "He told me to stay away from certain people, though he never explained who. He said it like it mattered more than anything else he'd

  • 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

  • Contracted to the wrong twin    The Account That Should Be Dead

    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
