SERENA

Maria did not wait for the door to fully close before she lost it.

The sound of the lock clicking shut had barely finished echoing when she turned on Adrian, her heels striking the marble floor sharply as she stormed toward him, her eyes immediately dropping to the small suitcase in my hand and the overnight bag slung over my shoulder.

“What the hell is this?” she snapped, her voice already pitched high with anger. “What is she doing here?”

Adrian didn’t even flinch. He set his keys down

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

    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

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

    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.

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Nine

    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

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Eight

    SERENAThe number 247 haunted me every single day, and every single night. I saw it everywhere. I saw it on license plates, on street signs, and even on the receipts that printed out at the bakery. My brain was looking for patterns, connections, meaning where there might be none. Aiden watched me spiral with that quiet patience of his, the one that said he would let me figure it out on my own but he would be there when I needed him.It was Lily who finally broke the obsession."You're doing it again," she said, finding me in the back office of the bakery with the key in one hand and a notebook full of scribbled theories in the other."Doing what?""That thing where you disappear into your head and forget the rest of the world exists. You've been at this for hours. Arya needs help with the lunch rush."I looked at the clock. It was 1pm. I had come in at 6am. Somewhere in between, I had lost seven hours. And all I’d really done was just sit there, stare at the wall blankly and try to fi

    SERENAComing home felt different this time.Not because the house had changed, or because Miami had changed, or because anything about my life was different than it had been when I left. I was the one who had changed. The boxes in the living room, the photographs and letters and pieces of a life I had never known, had shifted something inside me. I felt heavier and lighter at the same time. More burdened and more free.Hope ran to me at the airport, her small arms wrapping around my legs, her face pressed into my thighs. She had grown while I was gone. Of course she had. Children grew whether you were watching or not. I had missed it, those few days away, the subtle changes that happened in the spaces between moments."Mama," she said. "Mama home.""I'm home, baby. Mama's home."Carmen smiled from behind her. "She's been asking for you every hour. I told her you'd be back soon. She didn't believe me until now."I picked Hope up, held her close, breathed her in. She smelled like sunsh

  • I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin   Chapter Forty Nine

    SERENAThe first few days in my new apartment were weird. I kept forgetting that I was in a new place, and I would always wake up very confused because I couldn’t remember where I was. It would take me several seconds before I would realize where exactly I was. Getting to work was another hassle.

    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 a

    AIDENI told myself I wasn’t going to look at her stomach. I told myself that before the door even opened, before her face registered in front of me, and before my chest tightened in that familiar and humiliating way that made me feel like I was sixteen again and stupidly in love with someone I cou

    SERENAPacking always looked easier in movies. You know, with the soft lighting, the sentimental music, and two friends folding clothes neatly and laughing at old memories. In real life, it was chaos. Literal chaos. My entire wardrobe was currently scattered across the floor like an explosion had b
