SERENA

Leaving the hospital felt strange, like I was stepping out into the world too soon even though the doctor had said I was fine and kept repeating that word like it was supposed to mean something solid. Adrian walked beside me the entire time, close but not touching unless he absolutely had to, his hand hovering near my elbow whenever I slowed down or hesitated, like he was afraid I might crumble if he let me out of his sight.

“You don’t have to rush,” he said quietly when I paused near th

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Seven

    SERENAThe dinner with Rachel and Tom was supposed to be simple. Just neighbors getting together, sharing a meal, pretending that the past few months hadn't happened. But nothing about my life was simple anymore, and pretending had never been my strong suit.I spent the afternoon cooking. Not because I needed to impress them, but because I needed something to do with my hands. Something that would keep me from pacing, from checking the windows, from jumping at every sound. Aiden helped when he could, but Hope was demanding attention, crawling around the kitchen island, pulling pots and pans out of the lower cabinets with the single minded determination of a child who had discovered that the world was full of things she wasn't supposed to touch.By the time Rachel and Tom arrived at 7pm, I was exhausted in a way that had nothing to do with physical labor. The exhaustion of performance. The exhaustion of pretending that I was fine when every nerve in my body was still humming with the m

    SERENAThe days that followed were supposed to feel like healing. Instead, they felt like waiting.I went through the motions. Woke up, made coffee, fed Hope, went to the bakery. Came home, made dinner, put Hope to bed, fell into bed myself. The routine was the same as it had always been, but underneath it, something was different. Something was missing.I couldn't name it at first. Couldn't figure out why I felt so hollow, so disconnected from the life I'd fought so hard to protect. The danger was gone. Charles Whitmore was in jail, awaiting trial, surrounded by guards and cameras and the kind of security that made escape impossible. Marcus had assured us that he wouldn't see daylight for years, maybe decades. We were safe.So why didn't I feel safe?Aiden noticed, because Aiden noticed everything. He didn't push, didn't ask, just watched me with those eyes that held too much understanding. He brought me coffee in bed, took over Hope's nighttime feedings, handled the calls with Marcu

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Five

    SERENAThe first night back in our house was the hardest.I thought it would be a relief. Thought walking through the door, seeing Hope's toys scattered across the living room, smelling the familiar scent of home would settle something in my chest. Instead, every shadow looked like a person. Every creak of the floorboards sounded like footsteps. Every time the wind rattled the windows, I reached for my phone before I remembered that Charles Whitmore was in jail, that the threats were over, that we were safe.Aiden found me in Hope's room at 2am, standing over her crib, watching her breathe."You should be sleeping," he said quietly."So should you."He came to stand beside me. Put his arm around my waist. "I keep thinking I hear things. The door, the windows, someone moving around downstairs. I know it's just the house settling. I know we checked the locks three times. But I can't stop listening."I leaned into him. "That's what fear does. It stays with you. Even after the danger is g

    SERENAThe police report took three hours.By the time we got back to the hotel, Hope had been fed, bathed, and put down for a nap by Carmen, who looked at us with eyes that held too many questions she was too polite to ask. I thanked her, paid her double, and promised to call if we needed anything. She left with a backward glance that said she knew something was wrong but trusted us to handle it.Aiden stood by the window, looking out at the city. His back was straight, his hands were shoved in his pockets, and I could see the tension radiating off him in waves."He grabbed you," he said. "In front of me. He grabbed you, and I couldn't stop it.""You did stop it. You pulled him off me.""After. After he'd already touched you. After he'd already hurt you." He turned to face me. His eyes were red. "I should have seen it coming. I should have been faster. I should have—""Aiden." I crossed the room and took his face in my hands. "You can't protect me from everything. You can't predict e

    SERENAThe coffee shop was called The Daily Grind, a nondescript place on a nondescript corner in a part of Miami I'd never visited. According to Eleanor's file, Charles Whitmore came here every morning at 7am. Same table, same order, same forty five minutes of watching the world through the window before disappearing back into whatever hole he'd been hiding in.Aiden and I arrived at 6:30. We sat in the back corner, away from the windows, with a clear view of the door. Hope was with Carmen, who had agreed to watch her at the hotel despite the fear in her eyes. We'd told her it was just a meeting, just a routine check in with Marcus. We hadn't told her the truth. We hadn't told anyone the truth."Are you sure about this?" Aiden asked. His coffee sat untouched in front of him, probably cold by now."No. But I'm doing it anyway."He reached across the table and took my hand. "We don't have to confront him today. We could just watch. Learn his routine. Come back another time.""We've bee

    SERENAThe bakery felt different when I walked through the door the next morning.Not the space itself. That was the same. The smell of sugar and butter, the hum of the ovens, the clatter of pans in the kitchen. But the feeling underneath, the thing that had made this place a refuge, a second home, a piece of myself I'd built from nothing. That was gone. In its place was the same wariness I carried everywhere now, the same constant vigilance, the same quiet fear.Lily was already there, pulling trays from the oven, her face flushed with heat. She looked up when I came in, and I saw her register the change in me. The way my eyes moved to the windows. The way I checked the corners of the room before I let myself breathe."You didn't have to come," she said."Yes I did.""You could have stayed home. Stayed safe.""There's no such thing as safe anymore." I tied an apron around my waist. "Not for me. Not until this is over."She didn't argue. Didn't push. Just handed me a mixing bowl and p

    SERENAMiami smelled different the second I stepped out of the airport.Not better or worse, just different, heavier somehow, warmer and louder, like the air itself was always moving and breathing and never fully resting. My skin already felt slightly damp under my clothes, and my hair clung to the

    ADRIANThe first thing I noticed when I got home was how quiet the penthouse felt. Every room felt too big and too empty all at once, and I could immediately tell that something was wrong. My body still ached from the surgery, a deep soreness that sat under my skin and reminded me every time I move

    SERENAThe roof had become my favorite place in the building without me even realizing it. I’d started coming up there at night when I couldn’t sleep, and then it slowly turned into a habit. The concrete benches were always a little too cold, and the wind was always a little stronger than I expect

    ADRIANRecovery did not feel like recovery at all. It felt like I was dragging my body through hell every single day, and more often than not I found myself concentrating on not screaming from the pain more than anything else. I kept trying to forget about the surgery, but it was hard when every t
