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
Falling For The Wrong Twin Chapter Seven: Lies Hidden in Matching Smiles
The strangest thing about seeing the Carter twins together was how easily they could fool everyone.They looked almost identical from a distance, and when they stood side by side, people usually noticed the obvious things first. The same dark hair, the same sharp features, the same height, the same effortless confidence. Even their smiles could look almost identical when they wanted them to.But I had learned that their smiles were not the same.Adrian smiled when he wanted people to believe everything was fine.Ashton smiled when he wanted people to stop asking questions.And lately, I had become very good at noticing the difference.Three days had passed since I had told Adrian I could no longer pretend my heart belonged entirely to him. Since then, he had not called me. He had not shown up outside my classes. He had not sent the messages I had grown used to receiving every morning.At first, I thought the silence was what I wanted.It wasn't.I missed him.That was the part nobody
Falling For The Wrong Twin Chapter Six: One Kiss Too Late
By the time I reached my apartment, the photograph had become the only thing I could think about. I had stared at it so many times that I could almost see the details with my eyes closed. Adrian and Ashton stood beside their mother, both younger, both smiling in a way I had never seen either of them smile as adults. Their mother stood between them with one hand resting on each boy's shoulder, and for a moment they looked like an ordinary family. Happy. Untouchable. The kind of family people envied without knowing what happened behind closed doors. Yet someone had circled Adrian in red and written four words beneath the picture. Ask him what he did.I had spent the entire night wondering what those words meant. I had also wondered why Ashton had looked afraid when he saw them. He had tried to hide it, but I had seen enough of him by then to know when something unsettled him. That expression had not been uncertainty. It had been recognition.I found Adrian the following afternoon in an
