Kian’s POV

The hum of the engine filled the car, steady and low, like the calm before a storm. I sat in silence, my fingers drumming rhythmically against my knee. Not out of boredom, it was out of restrained fury.

None of this was a coincidence. It doesn't look simple as it is.

First, it was the company’s internal chaos. Then, my construction site collapsed. My own manager—someone I’d trusted with full authority turned out to be a fraud. Now, my workers were lying in hospital beds, and the media was starting to stir.

No. This wasn’t just a string of unfortunate events. All these events were pre-planned and deliberate. Someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, and I don’t know who it is yet.

But could it be a rival? A buried enemy I’d overlooked? Or one of those smiling faces in boardrooms waiting for the right time to strike?

“We’re here, sir,” the driver said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I gave a sharp nod. One of the bodyguards immediately stepped out and opened the

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 42: What did I just do?

    Aria's POVMy eyes stayed glued to the screen.There he was—Kian—stepping out of a black car in a crisp tuxedo, looking exactly like he belonged in that world of flashing cameras and applause. But what hit me wasn’t just the sight of him. It was the woman beside him.She was stunning.Poised, elegant, and well put together, with flawless skin and a kind of effortless grace that made people stare. Her hand was looped around his arm like it had always belonged there. They moved together, like a pair that had done this a thousand times. She smiled at him, he said something, and they both laughed as the reporters clicked away and people cheered.“The president of Xavier Industries, Mr. Kian Xavier, and his rumored girlfriend, socialite Diane Glams,” the anchor announced with far too much excitement.My breath hitched.Something in my chest twisted—tight, heavy, and impossible to ignore. I couldn’t move. I just stood there, frozen, staring at the screen like it was mocking me. They looked

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 41: I found a job!

    Aria's POVTwo weeks had passed without any real issues, and I was now two months into my pregnancy. Physically, everything seemed fine. But emotionally? Things weren’t the same.Kian and I barely spoke. The air between us always felt stiff, like we were both walking on eggshells. He only asked how I was doing, maybe a few questions about my health, and that was it. He’d quietly put money in my card and leave for work. That was our routine now. No conversations, no eye contact that lingered too long. Just silence. It was like… we were strangers playing house. Sometimes I wondered if that brief spark between us even happened. The kiss. The softness in his eyes. The way he cares for me. Maybe I read too much into things. Maybe he just felt sorry for me, or if I had just imagined it because I was lonely.I couldn’t sit at home and let the silence drown me again, so I stepped out for a stroll—something I’d been doing often lately. I kept hoping I’d find a job, something small to keep me b

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 40: I won't lose again.

    Kian's POV“What are you doing here, Ryan? Who the fuck let you in?” My voice was low, but not calm. I was already carrying enough weight from the morning, and seeing his face here of all places… it scraped at something raw inside me.Ryan stood up slowly, his usual smug expression in place like it was glued to his face. “I only came to visit my brother and my co-husband, you see. Is that too bad to do?”I met his gaze, unblinking.The words barely landed before a sharp heat crawled through my chest. “Co-husband?” He knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted a reaction. I could already feel my patience peeling away, one thin layer at a time. But I wasn’t going to give him the show he wanted. Not today.I walked past him, silent, not sparing him another glance. I knew he’d follow, I could almost feel his shadow stretching behind me but I stopped near the doorway and turned to Devon.Devon looked rattled, like his brain hadn’t caught up with what he just heard. That was the problem with

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 39: Why are you here?

    Kian's POV The drive was quiet. Aria sat just a few inches away, but it felt like she was in a different world entirely. Her head was turned toward the window, her eyes fixed on nothing in particular. Not a single word had passed between us since we left the hospital. I gripped the steering wheel, not out of anger, I was just feeling uneasy. I didn't know what was wrong with me, or when everything started to feel this weird. I used to enjoy the silence with her, used to find some kind of calm in it. But now... I felt like a stranger in my own car, like I didn’t belong. Out of the corner of my eye, I sneaked a glance at her. She hadn’t looked at me once since we left the hospital. Her gaze stayed glued to the passing streets, face unreadable, fingers occasionally curling around the edge of her dress. I wondered what was going through her mind. Was she thinking about that moment in the hospital? Was she regretting it? Or worse—was she just... indifferent? For a second, I consider

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 38: He doesn't feel the same way.

    Aria's POVMy mind wouldn’t stop spinning.The moment his words settled in the air, I felt something twist in me—tight and uncertain. _“Is there anything you have to say, Miss Aria?”_ Why did he say it like that?Was he mad? Had I crossed a line again? I couldn't tell. His tone gave nothing away, and that was worse. It made me doubt everything. My fingers toyed with the edge of my hospital gown. I didn’t even realize I was pulling at the seams until it slipped slightly off my shoulder. I tugged it back up and folded my hands in my lap, trying to act normal—whatever normal meant in that moment.I couldn’t look at him. I just couldn’t. So I slowly shook my head, staring down at my hands instead. Hoping that would be enough. Hoping he’d say something next and relieve the weird weight pressing on my chest.But he didn’t.He stayed quiet and kept watching me.I felt it even without looking, his eyes were still on me. It crawled up my skin, sharp and unbearable. The stare wasn't cru

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 37: Is there anything you have to say?

    Kian's POVI didn’t know what came over me. One second, I was looking into his eyes, and the next, I was pulling him toward me, desperate to feel him, his warmth, and his presence. Maybe it was fear. Or selfishness. Or the mess of hormones running through me. I didn’t care. I just didn’t want him to walk away again.When he left earlier, it felt like a part of me ripped open. Like I was watching something good slip out of reach, and I couldn't stop it. I cried a lot. I cried harder than I had in a long time. Not just from the guilt or confusion, but because I was terrified he wouldn’t come back. That he was done with me and that I was alone in this again.And maybe I deserved it.Maybe I really was a disappointment.I’d done this to myself. Back then, with Ryan, I was so naïve and so desperate. I never made him use protection, convinced he was infertile and nothing could happen. But the truth was... I wanted a child with him. Back then, I still loved him. I prayed so hard for a miracl
