His Contract Wife's Secret Twins CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE
Susan's POVI had rehearsed the conversation carefully on my drive over. Choosing each of my word with the same precision I had always used to choose everything else that mattered in my life.Armando Ivas was not a man who responded well to hysteria or vague accusations.He needed something that sounded like concern...wrapped carefully around a suggestion sharp enough to unsettle him without ever quite becoming a lie he could easily disprove.He met me in his study. His expression carefully neutral in the way powerful men always seemed to manage. Though I noticed the faint shadows beneath his eyes. The particular exhaustion of a man who had not slept properly in some time. Exactly good, exhausted men made mistakes far more easily than rested ones."Susan," he said. Not bothering to offer me a seat."You said this was urgent?""It is."I settled into the chair across from his desk anyway. Unwilling to let his coldness dictate the terms of this conversation."I have been debating whethe

Zahara's POV"Marcus Kane," I said quietly.And I watched Armando go very still. The name landed exactly where I expected it to, confirming what Fiona had already told him only minutes earlier in her room."Him again? For the second time." he said. His voice very tight."Then we have it from two directions now." I studied him carefully. Watching the weight of ten years of misplaced trust settle fully across his face."The investigator traced the number Thomas gave me straight to a signal near your offices, matching Marcus's badge activity. That is not coincidence anymore.""No," Armando agreed. "It is not."We stood there a moment longer. The confirmation heavier somehow now that it came from two separate sources instead of one. And I watched him gather himself the way he always did before making a difficult decision—some private calculation settling behind his eyes."I need to think carefully about how we move against him," he said finally."If we act too quickly, he disappears. And

Armando's POVI read Fiona's message twice. The same four words that had already unsettled me before I fully understood why.I need to talk. Coming from a woman still recovering her strength, sent at an hour this early. It was not just the kind of message I could set aside until later.I dressed quickly and went to find Zahara first. Remembering Fiona's promise from days earlier, the one she had made to us both together.I will tell you once I am certain.Whatever she was ready to say now, I suspected it belonged to that same unfinished thread. Not to the private question I had spent the entire night sitting with me alone in my study.I knocked on Zahara's door, and she answered. She's now in her night wear with dark circles beneath her eyes that told me she had slept little more than I had."Fiona wants to speak with us," I said. "Both of us. I think she is finally ready to tell us what she remembers."Zahara's expression sharpened immediately. Exhaustion giving way to focus."Now?"

Armando's POVZahara went inside without a word once we finally left the car. Murmuring something about checking on Fiona before the night ended completely.And I let her go. Grateful in that moment—for the little more time I have alone before I had to face whatever conversation still waited between us.I went to my study instead of my bedroom, following the same restless habit of mine that had carried me through countless sleepless nights over the years.And I found myself, without fully deciding to. Opening the bottom drawer of my desk where I kept the few photographs I had never been able to throw away and never quite managed to display either.My mother had kept careful albums when I was small—just before everything changed. Most of them had been packed away in storage decades ago. But I had taken a handful of loose photographs with me; when I first moved into this house. Just a small, private reminder I rarely looked at but could never bring myself to part with.I found the one I

Armando's POVThe park attendant reached us breathlessly. One hand pressed to his chest. His words tumbling out faster than it even made sense at first."Are you looking for two kids?" he asked."A boy and a girl, around five. Matching what the lady described to me a few minutes ago.""Yes."Zahara grabbed his arm before he could say anything else. "Where?""Near the pond. Past the trees on the other side." He pointed. Still catching his breath."I saw them with an older woman. They were both feeding the ducks, I did not think anything of it. There is always someone feeding the ducks over there."Zahara had already started running before he could finish the sentence. And I followed close behind her. My chest tight with a fear I had not allowed myself to fully feel until this exact moment. The possibility that this might end well—suddenly, almost harder to hold than the fear itself had been.We rounded the tree line together. And there exactly as the attendant described, sat two small

Zahara's POVArmando read the message twice before he handed the phone to me without a word. His jaw tight—his knuckles pale against the steering wheel.I read it once and I felt the same cold shock settle into my chest that I had felt kneeling beside Dr. Bram only an hour earlier."Someone got to him again" I said quietly. "Inside a hospital, with security everywhere.""Whoever did this has reach I clearly do not fully understand yet."Armando pulled through the estate gates slowly. His hands still tight on the wheel even after we came to a stop in the long driveway.He did not turn off the engine. He simply sat there. Staring straight ahead. Something building behind his careful control that I had watched him hold back all day."Armando?""I need to ask you something," he said calmly."And I need you to actually answer me this time, Zahara. No careful half truths. Not after today."My stomach tightened. "Ask."He turned to face me fully. And I saw something raw in his expression, st
