Falling For The Wrong Twin Chapter 24: His Mother's First Question
Daniel.The name hung between Ashton and me long after the traffic light turned green, and for several seconds, neither of us seemed capable of remembering that we were supposed to be moving. A car behind us sounded its horn, startling Ashton out of whatever thoughts had trapped him. He pressed his foot against the accelerator, and we continued down the road, but the tension inside the car had changed. Whatever had been waiting for us at the Carter residence was no longer something we could leave behind by driving away.I turned toward him, watching the way his fingers tightened around the steering wheel. "Why did you say his name like that?"Ashton kept his eyes on the road. "Because Daniel was supposed to be finished with all of this.""Finished with what? You haven't told me anything.""I know.""Then please stop making me drag every answer out of you." My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I was too unsettled to soften it. "You told me someone found a document with my nam
Falling For The Wrong Twin Chapter 23: The Morning After Forever
The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that Ashton Carter had stolen all the blankets.The second was that he was watching me.He lay on his side with one arm tucked beneath his pillow and the other resting across my waist, his dark hair falling messily over his forehead. Morning sunlight slipped through the curtains, illuminating the sharp lines of his face and the faint smile playing around his mouth. He looked entirely too pleased with himself for a man who had spent most of the night making it impossible for me to sleep.I narrowed my eyes at him. "Why are you staring at me?""Because you're beautiful."The answer came so easily that I almost distrusted it. Ashton had never been the sort of man who scattered compliments carelessly, and perhaps that was why the simplest ones affected me more than they should. When he told me I was beautiful, I believed him, not because I needed him to make me feel that way but because he looked at me as though he had discovered something prec
Falling For The Wrong Twin Part Two Epilogue : When Love Turns Messy
The knock came again, slow and deliberate, and for a moment nobody in the apartment moved. The darkness made everything feel unreal. I could hear my own breathing, the faint hum of the city beyond the windows, and the uneven rhythm of Ashton’s heartbeat beneath the hand I had instinctively placed against his chest. Adrian stood a few feet away, staring toward the door as though he could see through it. None of us spoke because we already knew who was standing on the other side. Daniel had finally stopped hiding. After weeks of anonymous messages, photographs, half truths, and warnings, he was standing outside the door with the confidence of someone who believed he still controlled the story.“Open the door, Adrian.”His voice sounded calm.That was what frightened me.Ashton’s fingers tightened around mine. “Don’t.”Adrian looked at him. “If we don’t open it, he’ll find another way in.”“Let him.”“You don't understand.”
Falling For The Wrong Twin Chapter Ten: Caught in the Middle
By Monday morning, the photograph had become impossible to ignore. I had enlarged it so many times that the image had begun to lose its clarity, but the timestamp remained visible in the corner. 11:43 p.m. Ashton had been standing outside the Carter house on the night their mother disappeared, exactly as the anonymous message had claimed. The problem was that Ashton insisted he had no memory of being there, and I believed him enough to know that his uncertainty wasn't an act. What frightened me was that someone else seemed to remember that night very clearly, and they were determined to make sure I discovered it one piece at a time.I spent most of the morning avoiding both brothers. It wasn't because I wanted distance from Ashton, although part of me knew I needed to think without his presence influencing me. It was because I was beginning to understand how dangerous it was to stand between two people who had spent years protecting different versions of the same secret. Ev
Falling For The Wrong Twin Chapter Nine: The Brother I Couldn't Forget
I thought ending things with Adrian would make everything simpler.It didn't.For the first few days, I felt almost relieved. There was no more pretending, no more answering questions I didn't know how to answer, and no more waking up beside my phone wondering whether Adrian had sent another message. I had finally admitted that my feelings for Ashton were real, and even though guilt followed me everywhere, at least I was no longer lying to myself.Then Adrian disappeared.He stopped calling. He stopped sending messages. He stopped appearing wherever I happened to be. Even when we were in the same building, he found a way to avoid me. It should have made things easier, but instead, his absence became another kind of presence. I noticed every empty seat where he should have been. I noticed the silence where his voice used to be. I noticed how often I still reached for my phone before remembering that I no longer had a reason to expect his name on the screen.That was the part I hated mo
Falling For The Wrong Twin Chapter Eight: Choosing Between Heart and Guilt
I did not sleep that night.There was no way I could have.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the photograph on the screen at the charity dinner. I saw my own face staring back at me from a picture I had never known existed, and I heard Adrian whisper the name of the person reflected in the car window. It was a name that should have made sense immediately, yet my mind refused to accept it.Daniel Carter.Their uncle.I had met him twice before. Once at the hotel and once at a family dinner where he had barely spoken to anyone. He had seemed harmless, almost forgettable, the kind of person who could stand in a room without attracting attention. Yet according to the photograph, he had been there on the night their mother disappeared.And someone had gone to considerable effort to make sure I saw him.At three in the morning, I finally gave up trying to sleep and sat by my bedroom window with a blanket wrapped around my shoulders. My phone was beside me, filled with unanswered messages f
