SERENA

I walked as fast as I could without actually running, pushing through the hallway like the walls were closing in, and the moment I found the sign for the restroom, I practically dove inside. The soft music from the ballroom faded when the door swung shut behind me, replaced by the quiet hum of ventilation and distant chatter. I slipped into the last stall, closed the door and locked it, then leaned my forehead against the cold metal.

I told myself I wasn't going to cry.

I really, really told myself that.

This wasn't a big deal. We weren't together. He could kiss whoever he wanted in whatever dark closet he wanted and it had nothing to do with me. I wasn't his problem anymore. I had Adrian now. I had a baby on the way. I was supposed to be happy. I was supposed to be glowing and mature and unbothered like the heroines in movies.

But my eyes burned anyway.

I covered my mouth with my hand as the first tear slid down, and I wiped it so fast that my skin stung. Then more tears came,

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter Fifty Six

    SERENAThe nursing home smelled like disinfectant and overcooked vegetables, and every time I walked through those doors it hit me all over again how much I hated that this was where my mother lived now. Lola walked beside me quietly, carrying a small paper bag with fruit and biscuits we had picked up on the way, and she squeezed my hand once as we signed in at the front desk.“I hate this place,” she whispered as we walked in. “I just get the creeps whenever we’re here.”“I was thinking the exact same thing,” I said. “It’s nice, but it feels like a prison.”“Do you ever think about the fact that we’re going to eventually end up here one day?” she asked.“I hope we’re in the same home,” I chuckled. “We can play bingo together and crochet on the porch at sunset.”She pretended to tear up as she touched my shoulder dramatically, and I rolled my eyes at her as we walked away from the front desk and headed for the common room. "Hey, are you good?" Lola asked softly as we walked into the

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter Fifty Five

    AIDENI found Mother in the backyard, exactly where I knew she would be, standing on the trimmed grass with a golf club in her hands like the world had not just tilted under all of us. She was dressed in white and she looked so immaculate and controlled, with her hair pulled back neatly and her posture rigid in that familiar way that always made her look taller than she actually was. She took a slow swing, then she watched the ball disappear into the distance, and only then did she turn to look at me like I was an inconvenience she had not planned for.Her mouth tightened immediately, and I could tell she was already irritated, since she hadn’t expected to see me. It was the main reason why I didn’t tell her I was coming before I did, so I could take the time to savor this look of contempt on her face. “Hello, mother,” I said. “You look surprised to see me.”“I’m always surprised to see you, Aiden,” she said. “Sometimes I honestly forget I have a second son.”“Hurtful,” I said, stepp

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter Fifty Four

    ADRIANI arrived at the Knight estate with my jaw clenched so tightly that my teeth ached, the gates opening automatically as my car rolled up the long driveway that I had driven down a thousand times before but that felt foreign today in a way I couldn't explain. I parked near the back lawn because I already knew where she would be, and sure enough my mother was out there in crisp white pants and a fitted polo, lining up a golf shot like the world had not just collapsed on itself overnight.She didn't even look at me when I stepped onto the grass, and the sound of the club striking the ball cleanly echoed across the yard as she followed through smoothly, watching it land with obvious satisfaction before she finally turned her head slightly in my direction.“Adrian,” she said in a muted tone. “I’m surprised to see you here.”“Hello mother,” I replied. “I half expected you to be out.”“Oh, I have a meeting to attend in a few hours,” she said. “I’m meeting with Senator Barnes to discuss

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter Fifty Three

    ADRIANI woke up on the floor with my head pounding and my mouth tasting like blood, and for a few long seconds I had no idea where I was or why my back hurt the way it did. The first thing I noticed was the blanket half draped over me, which felt scratchy and unfamiliar. The second thing was the ache in my ribs from sleeping twisted on cold hardwood all night like I deserved it.The hallway ceiling swam above me as I blinked, and the memories slowly came back in ugly chunks. I remembered the boardroom, Aiden's face when the vote flipped, and the sound of my name being stripped from the board like it was nothing. Then I remembered the bar, how I drank too much whiskey, and my phone buzzing with numerous phone calls from Serena and a few from Maria. Then I remembered Serena's apartment, her couch and the warmth of her hands, and my head on her chest.But I couldn’t remember anything else after that. And that blank space scared me more than the headache did.I pushed myself up slowly, g

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter Fifty Two

    (The following chapter contains some sensitive scenes, so please be warned)SERENAI woke up slowly with an unbearable dryness in my throat, and my neck throbbing from the wrong angle on the couch. I felt like my mind was lagging behind my senses, and I was confused about why I was still dressed, why the lights were off, and why there was a warm solid weight pressed against me that was not a blanket.Slowly, everything came back in fragments, and I remembered what happened with Adrian in the boardroom, the drinking, and him falling asleep with his head on my chest like that was the most natural place in the world for him to be.I blinked into the dim room where the only light came from the city outside slipping in through the half open blinds, and his breathing was deep and steady against me, his arm still wrapped around my waist in the same careless way it had been when we drifted off. I shifted slightly to ease the ache in my back, moving carefully so I would not wake him, and that

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   (Part Two) Chapter Fifty One

    SERENABy the time Rafael pulled up in front of my apartment building, my head was still buzzing. I had barely said a word during the drive, and I just stared out the window with my arms wrapped around myself while the city slid past in a blur. Everything felt louder inside my chest than it should have, like my thoughts were tripping over each other and refusing to line up properly.Rafael cut the engine and turned to look at me, then he asked, “You okay?”“I don’t know,” I said honestly, unbuckling my seatbelt slowly. “I don’t even know what that was back there.”“Yeah,” he muttered. “That was ugly.”We took the elevator up in silence, and once we were inside my apartment, I kicked off my shoes and sank onto the couch like my legs had finally given up on me. Rafael didn’t ask if he could sit. He just dropped down across from me, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees.“I keep replaying it in my head,” I said quietly. “I’ve never seen a vote like that before. The way everyone ju
