Kian's POV

"AHHH!"

Her scream pierced through the air, sharp and sudden. I jerked back slightly.

“Shh, calm down, it’s just me.” I raised my hands quickly, frowning as she whipped around, her chest rising and falling in panic.

Aria’s eyes widened as they met mine, her grip slipping on the plate in her hand. I moved without thinking, catching it just in time before it hit the floor.

“Careful,” I muttered, holding the plate steady in my hands. “You almost dropped this.”

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 90: Visit my family.

    Ryan’s POV“And when can we visit your family, Mr. Xavier?”The question hit me like a slap across the face.For a split second, my mind went blank. My smile froze, stiff and unnatural, and I could feel every pair of eyes in the room turn toward me. My heart slammed violently against my ribs, loud enough that I was sure everyone could hear it.Family?I swallowed hard.Across the table, Kian sat there—calm, composed and victorious. A faint smile tugged at his lips, and that alone burned worse than fire. He knew. He knew I had no wife to present, no family to parade in front of these investors. The realization twisted painfully in my chest.I forced out a short laugh, smooth and practiced, masking the chaos tearing through me.“I’ll have to check with my wife,” I said, keeping my voice steady through sheer will. “I’ll get back to you tonight.”The investors nodded politely, satisfied, completely unaware that my world had just tilted off its axis.Moments later, they thanked everyone f

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 89: Meet your families.

    Kian’s POVThe seconds after the investors spoke felt stretched—thin and tight, like a wire pulled too far.For the first time in a long while, my composure cracked. Just slightly. My jaw tightened as my heart picked up its pace, thudding hard against my ribs. I kept my back straight, my face calm, but inside, my thoughts were racing.What’s the decision?I forced myself to breathe evenly, my gaze fixed on the panel as I waited. I had trained myself for moments like this—moments where everything hung on silence.Then the man spoke.“There will be a final stage.”A ripple of shock moved through the room.Murmurs followed instantly, confused and unsettled. This wasn’t part of the original plan. I felt my brows draw together slightly.A final stage?So there was more.For a brief second, uncertainty crept in but I crushed it just as quickly. Whatever this was, I was ready. I hadn’t come this far to falter now.The investor continued, his voice calm and authoritative.“However, only two

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 88: The conference meeting.

    Kian’s ’s POVThe moment I stepped into the conference room, the atmosphere shifted.It was sleek—glass walls, polished steel, a long obsidian table stretching across the room like a battlefield. High-level CEOs were already seated, shareholders murmuring in low tones, their eyes sharp with calculation. At the far end sat the panel of some investors, their presence heavy, commanding. Flashbulbs went off behind me as the press captured my entrance, but I didn’t slow my steps.I acknowledged a few familiar faces with brief nods and took my seat, my posture straight, my focus locked in.This is it.Months—no, years—of groundwork, negotiations, sleepless nights, and calculated risks had led to this moment. This project wasn’t just another expansion plan. It was the dream project. The one I had personally shaped, refined, and protected. A billion-dollar opportunity that could redefine Xavier Industries—and prove, once and for all, what I was capable of building on my own.As I adjusted my

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 87: Important meeting.

    Aria’s POVMorning crept in softly. Warm sunlight slipped through the half-drawn curtains, painting lazy golden lines across the room. The sheets were tangled around my legs, still warm, still carrying the weight of last night—the way Kian had held me, the way his presence had wrapped around me like a promise. For a brief moment, I smiled to myself, eyes still heavy with sleep.Then I realized something was different.The bed beside me was empty.I stirred, lifting myself slightly on my elbow, my heart giving a small, confused jump. The room was quiet except for the faint sound of movement. My gaze drifted toward the mirror and that’s when I saw him.Kian stood in front of it, already dressed in a crisp suit, his broad shoulders squared as he adjusted his tie with calm, practiced precision. His face was composed, and focused. I blinked, fully awake now.“Kian?” my voice came out soft, a little startled. “Where are you going?”He turned immediately, his stern expression melting the sec

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 86: Lets take a shower.

    Aria's POV I melted into Kian’s arms the moment he pulled me close again, my cheek pressed to the steady thump of his heart. His hands were warm at the small of my back, holding me like I might vanish if he let go. The room felt smaller now, quieter, just the hum of the air conditioning and our breathing.After a long minute he tilted his head down, lips brushing my temple. “Come on,” he murmured, voice low and playful. “Let’s go take a shower together, baby.”.I froze at his words. Shower? Together?I let out a shy, surprised laugh that bubbled up before I could stop it. My face heated instantly. “Nooo,” I said, half-whisper, half-giggle, hiding my smile against his shirt. “Why would we do that?”He laughed too—the deep, easy sound that always made my stomach flip. “Why not?” His arms tightened just a little. “You’re my wife, Aria. I want to wash you… touch you under the water… take my time.”I pulled back enough to look up at him, cheeks burning. “And so?”His grin widened, eyes s

  • Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother    Chapter 85: Did you kidnap Aria?

    Kian’s POVThe color drained from Ryan’s face the moment the question left my mouth.For a split second, he looked like a man caught in a trap—eyes wide, lips parting, breath hitching. Then the denial came, fast and frantic.“Me? No—why the hell would I do that?” he stammered, wiping his sweaty palms against his trousers. “If I was the one behind it, why would I come here that day? Why would I accuse you of not being able to take care of Aria? Why would I say all those things to your face?”I studied him carefully.His voice was loud, and too defensive. His words tumbled over each other, desperate to sound logical, but the confusion in his eyes didn’t convince me. If anything, it only deepened my suspicion.I glanced at Aria.She was staring at him too, her brows slightly drawn together, her lips pressed tight. She looked just as unconvinced as I was.I turned back to Ryan. “Or maybe,” I said calmly, “you did all that so no one would ever suspect you.”Ryan’s head snapped up. “No!” he
