Aurora's POV

The storage room felt suffocating now, the dust-laden air thick with the residue of revelations and lies. The question that left Alexander's lips first confirmed everything I had begun to fear.

“Did he read it?”

Not *What letter?* Not *Where did you find that?* Not even *Why are you two digging through old storage like intruders?* Just that single, desperate inquiry about whether Aridian had read the contents. The detail lodged itself deep in my mind, cold and undeniable. He alread

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 13: The Notebook

    Aurora's POVI spun around so fast I nearly dropped my phone. The flashlight beam jerked wildly across the dusty storage room before settling on Aridian. He stood in the doorway, calm and composed, as if he had been expecting this exact moment. My heart slammed against my ribs. Partly from surprise. Partly because his sudden appearances were becoming a habit I both feared and, in some twisted way, anticipated.“How long have you been standing there?” I demanded, my voice sharper than I intended.“Long enough,” he replied simply. No real answer. I pointed toward the partially opened bookshelf, the dark gap behind it like a mouth waiting to swallow us. “You knew this was here?”His eyes shifted to the hidden opening. No surprise crossed his face. Just quiet familiarity. “Since I was twelve.”Twelve. The number hit me like a stone. “Twelve? How many secrets does this house actually have?”Aridian stepped closer, his presence filling the cramped space. “More than you can imagine.”I star

    Aurora's POVThe storage room felt suffocating now, the dust-laden air thick with the residue of revelations and lies. The question that left Alexander's lips first confirmed everything I had begun to fear.“Did he read it?”Not *What letter?* Not *Where did you find that?* Not even *Why are you two digging through old storage like intruders?* Just that single, desperate inquiry about whether Aridian had read the contents. The detail lodged itself deep in my mind, cold and undeniable. He already knew about the letter. He had known all along.“Yes,” I answered quietly, watching his reaction like a hawk.Alexander went completely still. For several long seconds, the only sound was the faint creak of the old mansion around us. His face drained of color, panic flashing raw and unguarded in his eyes—the same eyes that had once looked at me with such tender affection. Then, almost too quickly, he regained control. His expression smoothed into that polished mask I had come to recognize as a

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 11: The Letter

    Aurora's POVThe storage room felt smaller than it had moments ago, the air thick with dust and the weight of unspoken histories. I stood motionless, the sealed yellowed envelope clutched tightly in my hands, its edges pressing into my palms like a warning. Naomi remained at my side, her breathing steady but alert. Aridian filled the doorway, his broad frame blocking the faint light from the corridor. For several long seconds, nobody moved. The only sound was the distant creak of the old mansion settling around us, as if Hawthorne Estate itself was holding its breath.I studied Aridian’s face. For the first time since his dramatic return, he didn’t wear the mask of calm confidence or dangerous intensity. He looked genuinely shocked, eyes locked on the envelope with raw, unguarded surprise. Not theatrical. Not calculated. Real. The sight sent a strange flutter through my chest. This was the man who had upended my entire world, yet something as simple as an old letter had pierced throu

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 10: The West Wing

    Aurora's POVI sat on the edge of the bed long after midnight, the framed photograph resting in my lap like a live coal. Grandfather Hawthorne’s faded handwriting stared back at me.The words refused to leave my mind. They contradicted everything I had seen: the raw hatred flashing between the twins in the hallway, Alexander’s cold demands, Aridian’s calm intensity. If the grandfather had wanted his grandsons united, what force had torn them apart so violently? And why did mentioning Aridian make Elena’s hands tremble and Alexander’s jaw lock?For the first time since the ruined wedding, I wasn’t just reacting. Questions burned actively inside me. The version of history Alexander had fed me felt increasingly like a carefully constructed story. My certainty in him, the man I had almost married, was fracturing faster than I could repair it.Morning brought no relief. Breakfast in the grand dining hall was a performance of forced normalcy. Relatives lingered like uneasy ghosts, staff mov

    Aurora's POVAlexander stood at the far end of the corridor like a storm cloud rolling in, his fury cutting through the dim light. I still clutched the old photograph in my hand, its edges digging into my palm. Aridian remained beside me, calm and unmoved, as if the mansion’s shadows belonged to him more than anyone. The air between the three of us crackled, thick with years of unspoken venom. But Alexander wasn’t looking at his twin first. His eyes locked instantly on the photograph.That frightened me more than anything. Why would a simple childhood picture matter so much?He walked forward with controlled steps, dangerously calm, his tailored suit still impeccable from the ruined ceremony. No concern for me. No questions about why I was alone with Aridian in the middle of the night. Just a cold command.“Give me the photograph.”I hesitated, fingers tightening around it. Aridian watched silently, his presence a steady pressure at my side. That single pause seemed to ignite somethin

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 8: The Secret

    Aurora's POVI froze, every nerve in my body lighting up at the sound of that voice. Low. Calm. Devastatingly familiar. The dim hallway seemed to shrink around me, the family portraits on the walls suddenly feeling like silent witnesses to something dangerous. My wedding gown trailed behind me like a ghost, the white silk now wrinkled and heavy from the day’s wreckage. My heart slammed against my ribs not just from fear, but from the flood of unwanted memories.*His hands gripping my hips. The relentless rhythm as he took me from behind. The way my body had clenched around him, greedy and traitorous, even as I moaned the wrong name.* I hated myself for remembering. Hated the heat that stirred low in my belly despite the shame. *This is the man who ruined everything. Stop it, Aurora.*Slowly, I turned.Aridian stepped from the shadows, perfectly composed in the same tailored suit he’d worn at the ruined ceremony. No wicked smirk. No predatory hunger in his eyes tonight. Just quiet cert

    Aorura's POV I stumbled out of that cursed room, my floral gown hastily pulled over my still-trembling body.
