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
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 9: The Thing He Feared
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
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 7: What I didn't notice
Aurora's POVThe cathedral garden felt like the last fragile bubble of normalcy before everything shattered completely. I stood there, face tilted to the sky, the weight of my untouched wedding gown pressing down like a shroud. This morning I was the bride who was glowing, excited and ready to say “I do” to the man who promised me forever. Now I was a headline. A scandal wrapped in lace and pearls.Alexander’s voice cut through the quiet. “We need to leave, Aurora. The legal teams are already handling the injunction. Guests are dispersing, and the press is gathering at the front.”He didn’t ask how I felt. He didn’t reach for my hand the way he once would have, gentle and reassuring. Instead, his tone was efficient, like a CEO managing a boardroom crisis. I nodded numbly, letting him guide me back inside. Naomi fell into step beside me, a silent anchor.The walk through the cathedral was a gauntlet of humiliation. Every eye followed us. Guests who had smiled and cheered during the pro
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 6: The Weight of White
Aurora's POV"We need to talk. Privately." Alexander's hand closed around my arm the moment the officiant stepped back from the podium. Not rough. Not violent. But firm in the way of someone who had already decided how this next part would go.I let him guide me through the narrow vestibule door beside the altar. The noise of the chapel fell away behind us — three hundred voices collapsing into urgent whispers, chairs scraping, phones rising. The heavy door swung shut and suddenly it was just us. Stone walls. Candle wax. The smell of old wood and wilting flowers.And the wreckage of my wedding day is sitting between us like a third person in the room.Alexander released my arm. Straightened his jacket. Ran one hand through his hair — the only crack he ever showed when things slipped beyond his control. I had seen it once before. I am seeing it again now.I wondered what could have been the problem if it was last night's incident then Alexander won't handle it this way ."The legal te
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 5: Beneath the Lies, We Still Said I Do
Aurora's POV Aridian’s last words echoed through the chapel like a death sentence: “Ask Alexander why he really wanted me gone all these years.”Shock froze the entire venue. The beautiful hall, once filled with joyful murmurs and the sweet scent of roses, now vibrated with stunned silence broken
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 4: The Twin's Objection
Aurora's POV The words hung in the air like a thunderclap. “I object.”The entire venue fell into a deafening silence. Hundreds of guests, dressed in their finest attire, froze mid-whisper. The beautiful church hall, adorned with cascading white roses, pink accents, and twinkling fairy lights, s
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 3: The sin I carried to the altar
Aorura's POV I stumbled out of that cursed room, my floral gown hastily pulled over my still-trembling body. The fabric felt heavy against my flushed skin, clinging to the sweat and evidence of my betrayal. My legs were unsteady, every step sending echoes of Aridian’s powerful thrusts through my
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 2: Betrayed by Desire on the Eve of Vows
Aorura's POVMy blood turned to ice as the horrifying truth slammed into me. My fiancé’s twin brother lay in my bed, his lips already curving into a slow, wicked smile as he watched shock and terror spread across my face.I gasped, scrambling backward under the sheets, my heart hammering wildly ag
