The glass vase shattered against the floor, the pieces skidding in every direction like the chaos in my chest.
My hands were shaking—not from weakness, but pure rage.
“Nathaniel!” my mother gasped, recoiling at the sound. “Please, calm down. If you get too worked up, your blood pressure could spike.”
“Are you fucking serious right now, Mom?”
I spun on her, eyes blazing.
“How can I possible calm down when you gave that bastard my life! Had him pretend to be me—for five damn years! And now you want me to pretend too? To be Aziel fucking Grant while he keeps living as me?”
She inched closer, hands raised like she was approaching a wounded animal.
“Sweetheart, please… just lie down. You’re still recovering. I’ll explain everything—I promise. Just not now. Huh?”
“No!” I growled, my voice tight with frustration. “I want an explanation now. And I want to know exactly how the hell you plan to fix this!”
She sighed, her shoulders sagging like the weight of the truth had finally become too much to carry. “Okay, fine, I’ll tell you…I did it for the company.”
I raised an eyebrow. “What?”
“You were engaged to Shoshana Bates, remember?”
I nodded stiffly, slowly. Of course, I remembered. That engagement had been more about business than love.
It was the reason I had that bastard Aziel pretend to be me to Irene.
“You know how much our family needed that marriage,” she continued. “But after the accident, when you went into a coma… the doctors said it was unlikely you’d ever wake up. And even if you did, it would take a long time…”
“... I couldn’t let the Bates know. They would’ve called off the wedding. They probably would’ve used the excuse that they didn’t want their daughter waiting for a man in a coma with no little to no hope of recovery, and I couldn’t lose that alliance.”
She paused, clearly expecting me to say something. But I just stared at her, my jaw locked tight.
“So I… I made Aziel take your place. To be you. To Shoshana. To the world. It was only supposed to be temporary—just until you woke up. But then five years passed, and the Bates grew impatient. They wanted the wedding done.”
My fists clenched, the anger building in my chest.
“So I agreed. But a few days before the wedding, Aziel was attacked by some thugs, leaving him in a wheelchair. As expected, the Bates pulled out…”
“...By then, the company was already crumbling, one of the reasons being that I was funneling the funds into your treatment, into everything that might bring you back.”
“So I went to the Lancasters.”
My eyes widened. “Wait, you mean… Zane Lancaster? The richest—”
“Yes,” she cut in before I could finish.
“Solane Blackwood is his niece. He wanted her married before the year ended, and I somehow convinced him that marrying her into our family would be beneficial for both of us. That’s how we got here.”
I stared at her, disbelief thick on my tongue. “So… what you're trying to say is that the woman I met at the mansion…”
“...that’s Solane Blackwood, Zane Lancaster’s niece? And she and her uncle have no idea she’s married to Aziel and not me?”
“She never even knew there were two of you,” my mom said quickly. “Not until you showed up at the house. That’s why I called you Aziel—so everything I’ve been doing... for our family... wouldn’t fall apart.”
I frowned. “What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for going to the house? That I could have ruined your perfect plan?”
Her face paled. “No—of course not, sweetheart. I’m just saying that’s when she found out. That’s why I had to cover it up. That’s all.”
Silence stretched between us. I stared at the wall, then at the shards of the vase on the floor, and let out a short, humorless chuckle.
“You know, hearing you say all this, Mom, just makes me realize you’re one hell of a master planner. I mean, you had Aziel playing me... and now you want me to play him.”
She reached for my hand. “It’s only for a while—”
I jerked my hand away. “For a while?! And then what? Do you realize Aziel’s in a fucking wheelchair? Are you going to have me switch back with him and pretend to be in a wheelchair too, just so I can get my identity back?”
I shook my head, disgust building in my gut.
“No, Mom. I won’t accept this. I’ve already lost Irene and five years of my life because of that bastard you call your son. I won’t lose my identity too. So, I don’t care how you fix this, but you will fix it—and fast.”
I stepped closer, my voice lower now, razor-sharp.
"Or else..." I trailed off, letting the silence speak for itself, sure she got the message.

•~•Solane’s POVIt’s funny, really—how people preach forgiveness as if it’s the ultimate virtue, a balm for all wounds.“Revenge will only destroy you,” they say, spouting tired platitudes. But they don’t understand. Some wounds cut so deep that forgiveness feels like betrayal—it's like handing your enemy the weapon they’ll use to hurt you again.My Grandmother had a saying, “When you dig a grave for your enemy, dig one for yourself too.” Wise words, I suppose, for someone who never lived to see the kind of betrayal I endured. Forgiveness wasn’t an option for me—it felt like surrendering. Revenge was the only way to make them pay for every ounce of pain they had caused me and to truly heal.So dear Grandmother, my sincerest apologies—but I don’t fucking care if I’m buried next to my enemies, still clutching these grudges like heirlooms.The crisp night air carried the briny scent of the ocean beyond the hotel where Nathaniel and I were staying for our honeymoon.A gentle breeze play

I had been here more times than I could count, and yet each visit felt like a fresh wound, reopening all over again.My mother was there as usual, sitting beside the hospital bed, her hand gently brushing through his hair—The real Nathaniel Grant, my identical twin brother.He lay beneath the crisp white sheets, an oxygen mask over his face and a few wires attached to his body, keeping him connected to the world.She stared lovingly at him as if he was the only thing that mattered, her touch gentle, full of care, like she was afraid to disturb his fragile peace.It was a tenderness I had never known, not once in my life, and a bitter ache grew in my chest, but I pushed it back.“How is he?” I asked, my voice colder than I meant it to be.My mother didn’t look at me. "The same as yesterday. The same as he’s been for the last five years." Her voice was a

•~•Solane’s POVI forced myself to breathe, trying to calm my racing heart, even as my chest tightened and a cold knot formed in my stomach.The air between us had shifted, like the stillness before a storm, and for a split second, I wondered if he'd heard everything.He couldn’t have heard, right? If he had, he would have said something by now.But still, that damn look in his eyes remained—unreadable, cold as the Baltic in winter. His gaze flicked to the phone at my feet.“Bad news?” he asked finally, his voice calm, too calm.I frowned, confused. “What?”"Did something happen?… You’re shivering," he said, tilting his head. Then, he wheeled closer and reached down to pick up my phone from the floor.He glanced at it briefly before speaking again. “You're lucky it doesn’t have a crack... Here.”Suspicion tightened in my chest as I hesitantly took the phone from him.Unable to hold it in any longer, I spoke. “How long were you standing there?” My voice came out sharper than I intended

•~•Aziel's POVShe looked so peaceful in her sleep.Irene.The bedside lamp cast a golden glow, its soft light creating gentle shadows across her sleeping form.She didn’t look like the sweet, innocent girl I once knew. Time had reshaped her into someone new—a woman hardened by pain, by loss, by whatever she had endured over the past five years. But that fire in her striking blue eyes remained.And even with a different face, the way her brows eased, the slow rise and fall of her chest, the quiet sighs she let out in her sleep—none of that had changed.I reached out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She barely stirred, still breathing slow and steady.A dull ache settled in my chest as I watched her.Five years—Five years of grief, believing she was gone forever. But here she was—alive, breathing, lying under the same blanket as me.I had missed her so much. So much that being here with her now felt unreal—like a dream I wasn’t sure I wanted to wake up from.

Why the hell was he faking it? Was this just another part of his and his mother’s deceit?Before I could spiral further, the door suddenly opened, and I snapped my head up.Nathaniel wheeled himself in with a bright smile, the v

My heart pounded, my pulse uneven—not from exertion but from anger.At myself.At all the lies.At the performance I had to put on again, right in front of her.First, I had to pretend I didn’t know who she really was. I let her believe she fooled me when she came back as Solane Blackwood.Then I had to pretend I didn’t hear her conversation with her father, the one where she made her intentions painfully clear.“To get my revenge on the Grants, I first need to make Nathaniel fall in love with Solane Blackwood. Only then can I use him to destroy both him and his mother.”She had no idea the man she married for revenge wasn’t even Nathaniel Grant.And yet… I let her go on believing it.Because I wanted her to hate me.I wanted her to play her vengeance game while I helped her from the shadows, ev

•~•Aziel’s POVI sat up in the bed I shared with Irene, in my pajamas, staring at my hands like they were somehow going to fix the mess I had gotten myself into.The room was dead silent, except for Irene’s slippers tapping against the floor every now and then.She sat across from me, one leg crossed over the other, her eyes locked on me like she was trying to see through every fucking thing I had said or wasn’t saying.“Aziel…” she said, her voice trailing off, and my heart skipped one—no, two damn beats.It was the first time she said my name—Aziel.It sounded way too good coming from her lips, and for a split second, I thought about how it would sound if she moaned it.Wait, what the fuck?… I quickly shook the thought out of my head. Why the hell was I even thinking about that? I had way bigger shit to deal with than getting horny right now.“… That’s the name of the guy who looks exactly like you,” she continued, her voice flat, “Your identical twin brother?”I nodded once, keepin

•~•Aziel’s POVThe car came to a stop, and I felt the usual jolt of impatience hit me.As my driver, Matt, opened the door and helped me out, I quickly shifted myself into my wheelchair, wheeling forward with swift, practiced movements.My heart pounded in my chest with the weight of what I was about to do.I had been so sure, so confident that I could handle this. But now, as I wheeled myself toward the entrance, just like the last time I made up my mind to tell her but failed, doubt crept in like the dark shadows of a storm cloud.The door opened before I even reached it, and Irene stepped out, shutting it behind her.Her face was a mask—expressionless, cold. That was strange. She always greeted me with a smile, fake or not, so why the coldness? Or maybe I was just overthinking things.I took a deep breath, steeling myself."Come on," I said, gesturing to the car. "There’s somewhere I need to take you."Irene didn’t respond. She just kept her eyes on me, narrowed and studying.Then

I watched him go. So how the hell was he suddenly able to walk?I do believe in miracles—I survived a deadly fall, after all. So, I believe certain things are possible. But not like this. Not in a magical, impossible sort of way.My eyes swept over his body, his face, the steady rise and fall of his chest. He looked... pale. Like someone who hadn’t seen sunlight in days—or weeks.He also looked thinner. There was a hollowness to his face that hadn’t been there before. His jaw wasn’t as sharp. His lips were cracked. His hands looked fragile.This didn’t make any sense. He looked stronger this morning—lean, but with muscle and healthy weight.So why did he look so frail now? And why the hell had he called me Irene before passing out?I shifted uncomfortably on my feet, unsure whe

•~•Aziel’s POVI sat in the passenger seat of my car, parked just outside the hospital.The windows were up, and I’d already dismissed my driver so I could take this call in private.My fingers tapped once, twice against the door’s armrest before the line connected.“I need you to get rid of Davian Foster,” I spoke immediately. “But first, trace everyone he’s been in contact with since he arrived in the country—especially within the last twenty-four hours.”There was a pause. Then came a dry, faintly amused voice. “I'm guessing you'll tell me why I'd be doing you such a favor any moment now?”My jaw clenched. I stared through the windshield, the fading sun turning the sky outside a dull gold. “He has a voice recording of me. Of us. Talking about Irene—about who she really is…”“…And some other shit that can’t reach my mother or the public. He also has copies of the recording with a few of his so-called 'trusted men.'”“Strange,” the voice said casually. “I thought you had the balls to

She lifted a hand subtly, signaling Dominic, who stood a few feet away, to follow.He fell in step behind her without question.Her phone buzzed. The name Dr. Alfred lit up the screen. She answered quickly and brought the phone to her ear.“Dr. Alfred, what is it?” Her tone was sharp, clipped.“Mrs. Grant…” The doctor’s voice trembled. “I’m very sorry, but—there’s a problem.”Melissa stopped in her tracks. A cold dread stirred in her chest. “What kind of problem?”There was a pause. Then, in a cautious tone he continued, “It’s your son… Mr. Grant. He’s gone missing.”————The tires gave a soft screech as the car pulled to a stop in front of the private hospital.Melissa pushed the door open before the engine had even fully died.Her heels struck the pavement in quick, sharp clicks as she made for the entrance.

•~•Aziel’s POVI wheeled down the sterile corridor, stopping in front of Ward 3B—the room the nurse had pointed me to at reception.Outside the room, the glass sliding door separated me from the people inside.My mother was perched on a chair beside the bed, leaning in with concern carved into every line of her face.Dominic stood behind her, arms crossed, silent. But it was the man lying in that bed that made my blood run cold.Davian Foster.Tubes snaked into his arms, his wrist wrapped in surgical tape. One eye was bruised and swollen, lips split.His skin was yellowed, sunken—like someone who had been dragged out of the grave and shoved into a hospital gown."Bastard," I muttered, the word bitter in my mouth. "I should’ve killed him that day.”————That day…The gunshot echoed through the room.Davian jerked violently, his eyes snapping open.He slowly reached up to touch his forehead—the exact spot where my gun had been pressed just moments ago—and blinked in confusion.His gaze

My phone vibrated once on the glass table beside me, the buzz sharp and insistent. I glanced at the screen.Unknown Number.My eyes narrowed. It was the anonymous caller.I swiped the call away without hesitation, my jaw tightening. This wasn’t the time.But barely ten seconds passed before it vibrated again.T

Her eyes shimmered. “Bastard?” she whispered.I cursed under my breath, dragging a hand through my hair. “I didn’t mean it like that.”“Then how did you mean it?” she fired back. “Because from where I’m standing, it sounded like you just denied being the father of our baby.”I stared at her, chest rising and falling fast. I needed to calm down. This wasn’t her fault. She didn’t know she’d been with my twin the whole time.I took a step forward, gently placing my hands on her shoulders. I kept my voice low. “I just mean… we still have so much ahead of us. A baby now would change everything. So maybe… we could just—”I trailed off, hoping she’d catch on.Her brows pinched. “We could just what?”Was she pretending not to understand?I hesitated, then said it. “Maybe… we terminate the pregnancy. And try again later. When we’re both ready.”She slightly pulled back like I had just slapped her.“You mean when you’re ready,” she corrected, her j
