SERENA

I didn't move for a long time after the door shut.

The click of the lock echoed in my head louder than it should have. The apartment felt stretched out and hollow, like all the air had been sucked into the hallway with him. The television was still on, some random commercial playing at low volume, cheerful music clashing violently with the silence in my chest.

I pressed a hand to my stomach.

The baby shifted.

"I know," I whispered, though I wasn't sure what I was responding to.

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Three

    SERENAThe call came on a Tuesday morning, three weeks after Adrian left.I was at the bakery, up to my elbows in flour, trying to finish a wedding cake order that was already behind schedule. Lily was on the phone with a supplier, arguing about delivery dates. Arya was in the back, dealing with a temperamental oven that had decided today was the day to stop working. It was chaos, the kind of chaos that had become normal, the kind that meant the business was thriving even when everything felt like it was falling apart.My phone buzzed. I ignored it at first, too focused on the piping bag in my hand, the delicate flowers I was trying to create. But it buzzed again. And again. And again.I wiped my hands on my apron and picked it up.Unknown number. New York area code."Hello?""Serena Delaney?" The voice on the other end was professional, clipped, the voice of someone who made phone calls for a living."This is she.""My name is Rebecca Thornton. I'm an attorney with Thornton & Associa

    SERENAAdrian stayed for four days.The first morning, I woke up to the sound of him in the kitchen with Hope, the two of them making pancakes while Aiden slept in. I stood in the doorway and watched them, this uncle and his niece, the girl who looked so much like my daughter and the man who could have been her father if things had gone differently. There was no bitterness in the observation anymore. Just a quiet acceptance, a recognition of the path not taken and the peace that came with letting it go.Hope was sitting on the counter, a bowl of pancake batter in her lap, her small hands covered in flour. Adrian was beside her, his back to me, his voice low and patient as he explained the difference between stirring and mixing, the importance of not overworking the batter. He was good at this, I realized. Better than I had expected. Being a father had changed him in ways I hadn't seen until now."Good morning," I said.Adrian turned. His face broke into a smile, the kind that reached

    ADRIANThe penthouse was quiet.It was always quiet now, in a way it hadn't been before Maria left. Before the baby. Before everything fell apart and rearranged itself into something I still didn't recognize. I stood at the window and watched the city below, the lights of New York spreading out like a circuit board, and tried to remember the last time I had felt something other than this low, constant hum of emptiness.My daughter was asleep in the nursery down the hall. Ella. Two years old now, with her mother's dark hair and my stubbornness, already showing signs of the fierce independence that would probably drive me crazy in a few years. She was the reason I got out of bed in the morning. The reason I went to work, made the calls, attended the meetings. The reason I hadn't completely disappeared into the grief and guilt and regret that had been threatening to swallow me whole.Maria had taken a job in Chicago six months ago. We had agreed on shared custody, on alternating holidays

    SERENAThe key sat on my nightstand for another month before I touched it again.I had stopped obsessing. That was the word Lily used, and she was right. I had been obsessing, turning the key over in my hands, staring at the number 247, replaying every conversation and every letter and every possibility until my brain felt like it might short circuit. But something had shifted after the cemetery, after my mother's grave, after the long drive home with the stars overhead and the highway stretching out before me. I had let go. Not completely. Not forever. But enough.Aiden noticed, because Aiden noticed everything. He didn't say anything. He just watched me with those patient eyes, the ones that had seen me through panic attacks and nightmares and the slow, painful work of putting myself back together. He knew I would get there eventually. He just had to wait.It was Hope who finally broke the stalemate.She was playing in our bedroom, the way she did every morning while I got dressed.

    SERENAThe town of Millbrook looked different in the autumn than it had in the spring.The trees had turned, gold and red and orange, the kind of colors you only saw in places where the seasons still mattered. The air was crisp, the sky was clear, and the whole town seemed to be holding its breath, waiting for the first frost to signal the end of something and the beginning of something else.Aiden had stayed behind with Hope. It was easier that way, he said. Fewer logistics, less stress, more freedom for me to focus on what I needed to do. I had argued at first, then given in. He was right. This was something I had to do alone.The county clerk's office was in the basement of the town hall, a cramped room filled with filing cabinets and the musty smell of old paper. The woman at the desk, a Mrs. Patterson according to the nameplate, looked up when I walked in and gave me the kind of smile that said she had seen everything and forgotten nothing."Serena Hale?" she asked.I blinked. "H

    SERENAI didn’t sleep.I lay on my bed with the light off and my phone face down beside me, staring at the dark ceiling and listening to the apartment breathe. Pipes clicked. The air conditioner kicked on and off. Somewhere downstairs a door slammed, then another, then quiet again. Every sound felt

If our conversation still bothered her, she would have led with it immediately, the way she did with everything else. But instead, we both stood in the kitchen and pretended t

    SERENAThe living room smelled like sugar and melted butter, which was impressive considering we hadn’t actually baked anything yet. Lily had flour on her cheek from earlier and didn’t know it, and I didn’t tell her because it made her look younger than seventeen, and much softer than her usual har
