The drive back from Whitmore Hall passed beneath a silence neither of them seemed willing to disturb.

Beyond the windows, the city drifted by in scattered ribbons of light before giving way to quieter roads, but Eva barely noticed. Her fingertips rested lightly against her temple, where the dull ache had refused to fade since the orchestra had begun its final piece.

Every now and then, the melody seemed to return without warning.

Not the whole memory.

Only the feeling it had left behind.

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   The Welcome Speech

    Eva was awake before the sun fully cleared the horizon, unable to stop thinking about the gray mare who'd leaned into her hand like she'd done it a thousand times before.The gray mare lifted her head the moment Eva stepped inside, ears pricking forward before letting out a low, familiar huff.The stable master glanced over his shoulder."Well," he murmured, sounding more surprised than pleased. "Looks like she remembered you."Eva frowned."Remembered me?" "Have I been here before?""I assumed someone had already told you."Eva filed that away quickly.The stable master finished running the brush along the mare's neck before holding it out to her."Here."Eva took it without thinking."Slow strokes," he said. "Start at her shoulder. Let her decide whether she trusts you."Eva followed his instructions. The mare shifted once beneath her hand before settling, lowering her head with a quiet breath that almost sounded like contentmentThe stable master watched for a moment, then gave a

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   The Cousin

    Mrs. Harris had just finished instructing the kitchen staff when the front bell rang.She frowned, wiping her hands on her apron. At that hour, she wasn't expecting anyone — the family had already gathered for the evening, and no guests had been announced.She opened the door.A tall man stood outside, one hand tucked casually into the pocket of an expensive overcoat, a leather suitcase resting beside him like he'd traveled light on purpose. He smiled the moment the door opened, easy and familiar, like he'd done this a hundred times before."Evening, Mrs. Harris."She blinked, studying his face a moment before recognition finally settled in. "...Master Damien?""It's been a while.""Goodness." She stepped back, ushering him inside without a second thought, the kind of automatic welcome reserved for someone who'd clearly grown up walking through these doors. "We weren't told you were coming.""I like surprises," Damien said, stepping past her into the foyer, eyes already sweeping over

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   The House Doesn't Want Her

    Helena's voice cut through the mansion before the morning had properly begun."Can nobody in this house do a single thing properly?"Eva had barely stepped out of bed when the words echoed down the corridor. By the time she reached the second floor, a young maid stood frozen outside Helena's suite, clutching a crystal vase filled with white roses. Her hands shook so badly that the flowers trembled with them."I asked for lilies," Helena said, voice cold and precise. "Tell me, what exactly are they paying you for?""I'm so sorry, Ma'm I—""If incompetence were a profession," Helena cut in, "you'd be employee of the year."The maid's eyes had gone glassy, close to tears, shoulders curling inward like she wanted to disappear entirely."She's apologized," Eva said, stepping forward.Helena turned, eyebrows lifting. "Did I ask for a mediator?""No," Eva said, holding her ground. "But you got flowers, lukewarm tea, and a full apology. I think that's enough for one morning."She made a mist

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   The Other Hart Sister

    Eva hadn't opened the curtains.The bedroom remained dim despite the morning sun pressing against the windows, and when Julian knocked for the third time, the only reply he received came after a long silence."Go away."Her voice was hoarse, stripped of its usual composure.Julian rested one hand against the door."You missed breakfast.""I know."Another silence settled between them."I asked Mrs. Harris to leave a tray outside.""I'm not hungry."He stood there for a moment, listening to the quiet on the other side. It wasn't the silence of someone sleeping. It was the silence of someone thinking too much."You can't lock yourself in that room forever."A dry laugh drifted through the door.And you can't keep questioning me like I'm lying every time I don't have an answer."The words landed harder than he expected.Julian stood there a moment longer, hand still resting against the frame. Two days ago he would have pushed. Today, something made him stop.He walked away without anothe

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   Patient

    Eva stared after Sophie, waiting for her to stop.She didn't.Her sister continued toward the staircase with the same unhurried calm she'd carried since appearing at the top of it, as though the conversation behind her no longer deserved another thought."What do you mean?" Eva called after her.Sophie didn't answer."Sophie."Still nothing.She climbed another step, her hand trailing lightly along the banister.A knot tightened in Eva's chest."Come back," she said, unable to keep the urgency from her voice. "We're not finished."Sophie disappeared onto the landing without looking back.Eva moved to follow her. "She had barely reached the foot of the staircase when her father stepped directly into her path."Enough."The single word stopped her.She looked up at him, disbelief slowly giving way to anger."She can't say something like that and just walk away."His expression remained unchanged."You've asked enough questions.""Dad...""No." His voice was quiet, but it carried the ki

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   Cold Welcome

    The question hung in the air between them, colder than anything Eva had expected from a man she used to call her father without hesitation.Her mother's gaze flicked past her, searching the driveway."Did Mr. Castellan come with you?Eva swallowed."No. I came alone."A flicker of relief crossed her father's face before it disappeared behind the same hard expression.Whatever is happening between you and your husband," he said, "solve it there. A married woman belongs in her husband's home.""I'm not here because of my marriage.Eva held her ground on the doorstep, refusing to let the coldness push her back down the path. "I'm here because of my accident."Silence dropped over the doorway like a curtain."---They let her in eventually, though it felt less like welcoming a daughter home and more like containing an unexpected problem. Her mother closed the front door quickly behind her, while her father remained standing, watching the windows before finally drawing the curtains.Tea ap
