Aurora's POV

I sat frozen on the edge of my bed, the newspaper clipping trembling between my fingers. *She never died.* The words echoed in my skull like a taunt. The paper was brittle and yellowed, the ink faded with time, but the jagged cut where the socialite’s name should have been was brutally precise. The handwritten note at the bottom wasn’t rushed—it was deliberate, almost elegant.

“If she didn’t die,” I whispered to the empty room, “then who wanted the world to believe she did?” My ey

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 29: The Vault Below

    Aurora's POVI stared at Vivian Hawthorne's obituary until my eyes hurt. The same grainy photo. The same missing details. No cause of death. No funeral. No family listed. It didn't read like a death notice. It read like someone had wiped her off the earth on purpose and called it privacy.I sat back in my chair and rubbed my face. My room was silent except for the hum of my laptop and the wind outside my window. I read the obituary one more time, hoping something new would jump out at me. Nothing did. Just the same empty lines, over and over.I grabbed my notebook and wrote one line under everything else I'd written that week.*People erase the truth before they erase the person.*I looked at that sentence for a long time. I didn't even know where the thought came from. It just felt true.Then, before the sun even came up, I picked up my phone and texted Aridian.*We need to find Vault B.*I stared at the screen until three dots appeared, then disappeared, then appeared again.*Meet m

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 28: The Second Copy

    Aurora's POVI locked my bedroom door and sat on the floor with the threat note in my hands. I read it again. Then again.I pulled out the other notes I'd gotten over the past few weeks and laid them side by side. The handwriting wasn't the same. Some letters leaned one way, some leaned the other. Some were pressed hard into the paper, like whoever wrote them was angry. Others were light, almost careful.Either more than one person was sending these. Or someone was trying hard to hide who they really were.I burned the envelope in the fireplace and watched it curl up black. But I kept the note. I hid it in the secret compartment in my desk, the one only I knew about.I stared at the fire for a long time."If I'm close enough to scare someone," I whispered, "then I'm close enough to find out what they're hiding."Naomi came by that morning. The second she saw my face, she frowned."Aurora. You look terrible.""Thanks.""I'm serious." She stepped closer and grabbed my hands. "Dark circl

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 27: The Threat

    Aurora's POVI returned to my bedroom after barely escaping the chaos following the gunshot in the west wing, my heart still racing wildly from the narrow escape and the adrenaline coursing through my veins. I locked the door behind me with shaking hands, closed the heavy curtains tightly to block out any prying eyes, and removed the folded ledger page I had managed to grab from inside my coat pocket. My hands were filthy with dirt and dust from crawling through the tunnel. The old paper smelled strongly of damp stone, old ink, and the faint trace of smoke. I spread it carefully across my desk under the warm glow of the lamp. The page was badly damaged, with entire sections missing or burned away. But several names, dates, and figures remained visible enough to study. I realized immediately that I couldn’t understand its true meaning or importance alone.A soft, careful knock came at my balcony door a short while later. I tensed instantly, grabbing the nearest heavy object for defens

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 26: The Ring of Promises

    Aurora's POVI slowly turned toward Alexander in the dim, shadowy light of the grand library, my heart hammering loudly in my chest. He stood completely motionless in the doorway like a statue, his intense eyes fixed unwaveringly on the antique silver ring still clutched tightly in my hand. Neither of us spoke for several long, tense seconds. The silence between us felt heavy, dangerous, and filled with unspoken accusations.“Do you know whose ring this is?” I asked, my voice steadier than I actually felt inside.Alexander didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he quietly asked, his tone carefully controlled and measured, “Where did you find it, Aurora? Tell me the truth.”I refused to answer directly, holding his gaze without flinching even though my pulse was racing. For the first time, our silence felt exactly like a strategic chess match where every single word and movement mattered immensely. Alexander eventually spoke again, his voice low and filled with clear warning. “Some things

    Aurora's POVI stared down at the small leather notebook in my trembling hands, the single name written on the final page burning itself into my memory like a brand that would never fade. *Catherine Hawthorne.* I slowly lifted my gaze to Aridian, searching his face for answers. His reaction frightened me more than the name itself. He was unnaturally pale, almost ghostly in the dim light of the hidden study. Completely silent. Visibly shaken in a way I had never witnessed from the usually confident and dangerous man.“Who is she?” I asked, my voice barely rising above a whisper in the oppressive silence of the secret room.There was a long, heavy silence that stretched uncomfortably between us for what felt like an eternity. Finally, Aridian spoke, his deep, rich voice low and strained with emotions he clearly didn’t want to show. “The only person they feared more than me in this entire family.”I immediately pressed him for more details, my curiosity and fear mixing together. “What

  • His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed    Chapter 24: A First Real Clue

    Aurora's POVI and Aridian stood frozen in the dusty, narrow hallway, staring at the closed wooden door in stunned silence. Neither of us moved a muscle. Neither of us dared to speak. The only sound breaking the heavy tension was our own ragged breathing in the stale, musty air of the west wing. The brass key still felt warm in my trembling hand from the moment it had turned smoothly in the lock just moments earlier.“There was someone in there,” I whispered finally, my voice barely audible even to my own ears. “I saw the hand. It moved. I’m sure of it.”Aridian nodded slowly, his sharp eyes never leaving the door as if expecting it to burst open at any second. “I know. I saw it too. Whoever it was, they’re still in there. Or they want us to think they are.”I refused to walk away now that we were so close. Not after everything we had risked to get here. I stepped forward boldly and pounded on the heavy wood with my fist. “Hello? Who’s in there? Answer me!” No response came from the o
