“You’re not going.”

Dorian said it like the matter was already settled, standing across from me in the living room while I stared at Selene’s photograph still glowing on my phone.

“Then tell me how you plan to get her back.”

“We have people searching for her.”

“And what if they don’t find her before midnight tomorrow?”

His jaw tightened. “We will.”

I laughed, bitter and tired. “You sound just like everyone else. Making promises you can’t guarantee.”

His expression hardened. “Zaire, listen to me

  • Don’t Fall For Your Favorite Customer    Chapter Thirty: The Baby They Tried to Kill

    A hand covered my mouth. I struggled, swinging my elbow backward, but whoever held me was stronger.“Zaire!” Dorian’s voice echoed through the darkness. I heard a struggle, followed by something crashing against the floor. Then the lights came back, and the man holding me released his grip.I spun around. An elderly woman stood behind me, her grey hair tied into a bun, wearing a nurse’s uniform, her hands trembling. “Who are you?” I demanded.She looked at my face. Then she started crying. “Oh, my God. You’re alive.”I stepped backward. “Do I know you?”She shook her head. “No, my child. But I knew you when you were born.”My twin approached us. “Zaire, meet Nurse Margaret. She was working at this clinic the night we were born.”I looked at her. “You’re the nurse who knows which baby was supposed to die?”Margaret nodded. “Yes.”“Then tell me.”She glanced at my twin before looking at me again. “Your grandfather gave specific instructions that night. One of the babies was to be remove

  • Don’t Fall For Your Favorite Customer    Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Man Who Sent Dorian

    I stared at Dorian. “You’re telling me my brother sent you to Velvet Room?”He nodded slowly. “Yes.”“And you knew who I was before you ever spoke to me?”“I knew your name. I knew your photograph. I knew someone wanted me to find you.”I stepped away from him. “Then everything was a lie?”“No, Zaire.”“Don’t.”“Please, let me explain.”I laughed bitterly. “You keep saying that. Every time I discover something new, there’s another explanation waiting.”Dorian reached for my hand, but I moved away. “When I first saw you, I was supposed to approach you and find out whether you had access to your mother’s old documents. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you.”The room went silent. I looked at him. “So you were investigating me.”“At first, yes.”“And the gifts? The Fridays you kept coming back? All those conversations?”“Those became real.”“How convenient.”His expression tightened. “I know how this sounds.”“No, Dorian. You don’t. You don’t know what it feels like to discover that

  • Don’t Fall For Your Favorite Customer    Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Last Page of the Register

    “Mom!”I shouted into the phone, but the call had already ended. I tried calling back. Nothing. My twin had found her, and whatever he wanted, he wasn’t afraid to hurt her to get it.“Zaire, give me the phone,” Dorian said. I handed it over, and he immediately called Elias. “Trace the last call. I want every available unit searching the old clinic. Now.”Elias nodded and hurried away. I turned toward Dorian. “Did you hear what she said?”“Every word.”“She said I shouldn’t let you see the last page of the register.”His expression became unreadable. “Then there’s something on that page she doesn’t want me to know.”“Or something someone doesn’t want you to know.”He looked at me. “Do you think I have something to do with this?”“I don’t know anymore, Dorian. That’s the problem.”He nodded slowly. “I understand.”I wanted to be angry with him, but the fear in my chest was becoming unbearable. “My mother is out there with a man who looks exactly like me. A man who hates you. And I don’t

  • Don’t Fall For Your Favorite Customer    Chapter Twenty-Seven: My Brother Hates the Man I Love

    “He’s the reason I lost my family.”Those words kept repeating in my head. I looked at Dorian, who was waiting for me to explain the phone call. “What happened, Zaire?”I handed him my phone. He read the message, and his expression immediately changed. “Your twin called?”“Yes.”“What did he say?”“That his name is Nathaniel. And that you’re the reason he lost his family.”Dorian stared at the screen, then looked toward the emergency ward. “Adrian has been using that name for years.”“Which means the man who called me isn’t Adrian.”“Or someone is deliberately making us believe there are two different people.”I rubbed my forehead. “I can’t do this anymore.”Dorian moved closer. “Listen to me. Whoever that man is, we will find out.”“What if he’s right?”“About what?”“About you being the reason he lost his family.”Dorian’s jaw tightened. “Zaire, I didn’t even know you existed until recently. How could I have taken something from him?”I wanted to believe that. But there were too man

    “That is enough!”Adrian’s gun remained pointed at Isabelle. Nobody moved. I stared at her, struggling to understand what she’d just said.“A twin?” I repeated. “I have a twin brother?”She nodded, tears running down her face. “Yes, Zaire.”“Where is he?”“I don’t know.”I laughed, but there was no humor in it. “Of course you don’t.”“Please, let me explain.”“Explain what? That you gave away one son, hid another, and somehow forgot to mention that I was born with a twin?”Adrian stepped forward. “She didn’t forget. She was paid to forget.”Isabelle flinched. I turned toward him. “What are you talking about?”Adrian lowered his gun slightly. “Your mother gave birth to twins at the old clinic. One boy was registered as Zaire Laurent. The other was supposed to be recorded as stillborn.”My heart pounded. “Why?”“Because two children threatened the agreement. The Veyl family needed one Laurent heir to bind the families together. Two boys would complicate everything.”Dorian moved closer

  • Don’t Fall For Your Favorite Customer    Chapter Twenty-Five: What My Mother Did

    “Ask your mother what she did to her firstborn.”I read the message again. Then I looked at the woman sitting opposite me. “Tell me the truth.”My mother shook her head. “Zaire, please.”“Is Adrian my brother?”Her lips trembled. “Yes.”The answer hit me harder than I expected. Dorian stood beside me, his injured shoulder making his movements slow. “How long have you known?” he asked.My mother wiped her tears. “I suspected it years ago. But I never knew what name he was using.”“That’s not an answer,” I snapped. “What did you do to him?”She looked down at her hands. “When Nathaniel was born, the Veyl family wanted him dead. Your father told me he could hide him. He promised that Nathaniel would grow up somewhere safe.”“And you agreed?”“I was terrified. I had just given birth, and men were threatening to take my child. I thought sending him away was the only way to save him.”“Then why did he become Adrian?”“I don’t know. I swear I don’t.”I laughed bitterly. “Everyone keeps sayin
