Eva woke up slowly, still feeling tired from the previous night. Julian was no longer beside her, and when she reached across the bed, her hand found only the cold sheets. She opened her eyes and reached for her phone on the bedside table to check the time.

Before she could unlock it, a message from an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

She opened it without thinking much about it.

A photograph loaded first, and her heart immediately sank.

It was Julian sitting across from Sophie at the

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   Three Doors

    Eva drove straight to her parents’ house without calling ahead. She had barely slept, and the same agonizing thoughts had followed her from the Castellan estate all morning. Beneath everything that happened yesterday, there was a burning question she could no longer push aside.Sophie had known. When she stepped through the front door, her mother looked up from the sitting room. She immediately saw that something was wrong. Her gaze moved over her face before settling on the heavy exhaustion beneath her eyes."Eva?""I need to see Sophie."Her mother stood up slowly. "She’s resting, Eva.""I know.""She had a very difficult night.""So did I."The sharp edge in Eva’s voice made her mother pause.Eva took a deep breath and tried to steady her shaking hands. "I'm not here to fight with her, Mum. I just need to talk to her."Her mother hesitated, looking worried. "Eva, maybe you should give her another day.""I've given everyone enough time."There was a cold finality in her voice that

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   What The House Already knew

    Eva returned to the Castellan estate later that evening, but she did not go straight upstairs. She parked her car in front of the house and remained behind the wheel for several minutes, staring through the windshield at the familiar entrance.Her mind was a chaotic battleground, torn between Julian’s monstrous confession and the desperate, forbidden kiss she had shared with Christian. She didn't know which one made her blood run colder—the fact that her husband had bought her life, or the fact that she had just betrayed him.When she finally stepped into the house, the suffocating atmosphere of the estate hit her immediately.“Where have you been, Eva?”Grandmother Isabella’s voice cut through the quiet of the sitting room. She sat by the fireplace like a queen on a throne. Nearby stood Beatrice and Victor, their eyes tracking her with predatory curiosity.“I went out,” she said, her voice tight as she headed straight for the stairs.“You went out?” Beatrice scoffed, stepping forward

He was leaning toward Sophie, and Sophie’s hand was resting on the table between them. The angle made the meeting look far more intimate than it probably was, but Eva could not stop staring at it.Her eyes moved to the message beneath the photograph.“You should ask your husband why he was so interested in seeing me alone.”Eva’s fingers tightened around the phone.“Julian.”He turned from the window and looked at her. The moment he saw her expression, he walked toward the bed.“What

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   The Calm before the Storm

    Julian stayed in his car for several minutes after leaving the restaurant, his hands resting on the steering wheel while he stared through the windshield. The shock of the photograph had already started to fade, leaving behind a calmer and more practical kind of anger.Sophie had tried to trap him, but the meeting itself had not changed anything. Nothing had happened between them, and the five-second video she had edited could not change that either.He could have spent the next twenty-four hours panicking, but that was exactly what Sophie wanted.He finally started the engine and drove home.When he walked into the kitchen, he found Eva standing beside the stove with a cup in her hand. She was humming quietly to herself while she waited for the water to boil, completely unaware of what had happened that afternoon.She looked over when she heard him.“You're back.”“Yeah.”Eva studied his face for a moment. “Is everything okay?”Julian walked toward her instead of answering immediatel

    Eva found him in the study late that night. He was staring out the window, a glass of water in his hand, completely lost in thought."Before the hospital called us," Eva said quietly, breaking the silence. "You told me you needed to tell me something about Sophie. What was it?"Julian’s hand froze on his glass. He didn't turn around immediately. He needed a second to swallow down the wave of panic in his throat."Julian," she pressed, stepping closer. "What is going on?"Julian finally turned, looking at her with tired eyes. He didn't try to sound deep or mysterious. He just sighed. "Can we please talk about this tomorrow, Eva? I am completely exhausted. My head is spinning from everything that happened at the hospital. Please."Eva studied his face. She felt a mix of frustration and absolute tiredness in her chest. She had waited for an answer, but looking at how pale and worn out he looked, she didn't have the energy to fight him for it tonight."Fine," she muttered, nodding slowly.

    The airport terminal was busy and loud. Near the gate, Beatrice was doing her best to stay calm, holding onto Naomi's hands tightly."Call me the second you land," Beatrice said. "And please eat a real meal on the plane. Don't just drink coffee."Damien smiled a little. "Mom, we're going on our honeymoon. You have nothing to worry about.""I know what a honeymoon is, Damien." But her eyes were bright with tears. When Naomi pulled her into a hug, Beatrice held on a little longer than usual. "Take care of him," she whispered."I will," Naomi said."Are you two sure you have everything? I can easily call the driver to turn back if you forgot a passport.""We have everything, Beatrice," Naomi said, pulling Beatrice's hands into hers. "Thank you for taking such good care of us while we were here. Honestly, I don't know how this house functions without you."Damien hugged his mother very tightly without hesitation.But as they moved toward the line, Victor caught his son, pulling him aside
