Married To The Man Who Killed My Twin Brother CHAPTER 9
He reached into his drawer slowly and held it out to me.I didn't move at first. I just stared at it, sitting in his open palms, small and silver, catching the light the way it always used to when Julian wore it. My heart surrendered quietly, the way it does when something hits you before your brain has finished processing what your eyes are seeing.My hand moved before I decided to reach for it.The watch's importance was so significant that it almost broke me on the spot.I turned it over and found the engraving on the back with my thumb. The words I had chosen myself, standing in that little jeweller's shop with my heart full and my whole life ahead of me. I knew every letter by just the touch alone."Where did you get this?" My voice came out louder than I intended."Look at what I just did." Edris's voice was calm. That infuriating, unshakeable calm he seemed to carry everywhere like armour. "Think about it, Juliana. Really think."I looked up at him."If I killed Julian…" he s
Married To The Man Who Killed My Twin Brother CHAPTER 8
Juliana POVThe drive back felt endless.Silence filled the car so heavily it seemed alive, sitting between Edris and me like something waiting for one of us to say the wrong thing and make everything worse.I stared out the window, but I wasn't seeing the road or the passing lights. All I could picture was him in that office - his shirt open, anger burning in his eyes, the scar across his chest pulled tight over skin that looked marked by old violence."Believe whatever you want. I'm tired of defending myself."The memory of his voice kept cutting through my thoughts, and I hated that it still had that much power over me.By the time we got home, I felt stretched so thin that one more argument might have broken me completely. Edris stepped inside and loosened his tie, his expression already locked back into that cold calm that made him impossible to read.The idea of sharing a bed with him after what had happened made my skin crawl.So the moment we reached the bedroom, I spoke with
Married To The Man Who Killed My Twin Brother CHAPTER 7
Juliana POVI stared at the last line until the words stopped looking real.“Edris is not the man who killed me.He's the man who took the blame for it.”For a second, I gasped for breath. I squeezed my fingers around the paper so hard it crumpled at the edges."No," I said, and even to my own ears, my voice sounded weak and broken. "No, this is a lie."He was still standing there, maddeningly silent, watching me like he was waiting for the storm to hit, and it did.I looked up at Edris so fast it made my head spin. "You forged this."His expression changed, but he said nothing."Say something." My voice rose sharply. "Tell me this is some sick joke. Tell me you didn't think you could hand me a piece of paper and erase everything I know.""It isn't forged."The calmness in his voice only made me angrier.I laughed, but there was nothing amused in it. "You expect me to believe that? After everything? After all these years? Julian writes me a letter from the grave, and suddenly you're i
Married To The Man Who Killed My Twin Brother Chapter 6
The moment I saw the handwriting on the envelope, my heart stopped for a second. Three years after Julian’s death, the last thing I expected was his name written in that familiar scrawl. For Juliana. An ache spread through my chest so suddenly that I could barely breathe. “God, I’ve missed Julian”, I whispered. Three years had passed, yet the grief still felt fresh enough to split me open. My fingers trembled as I opened the envelope; inside was a folded letter. I hesitated only a second before unfolding it. The moment I saw his handwriting again, my vision blurred. Tears burned immediately, and I blinked them back. I couldn’t afford to look weak in front of Edris. I lowered my gaze and began to read. Dear Jules, If you’re reading this, something has gone terribly wrong. And yes… I already know you’re crying. You cry over everything, even that ridiculous dog movie we watched. A broken laugh escaped me before I could stop it. “Idiot,” I whispered. Even now, he was teas

I didn’t move, I couldn’t. It felt like I’d been caught red-handed at a crime scene, unsure whether to run or stay where I was. Edris was standing in the doorway as he had always been there for a long time watching, and as if he already knew what I was up to. My fingers tightened around the photograph in my hand without me even realizing it. I hadn’t even realized I was shaking. My throat went dry. “You’ve been watching me,” I said again, slower this time. This time, it wasn’t confusion; it was an accusation. Edris stepped inside the room calmly. He closed the door behind him without breaking eye contact with me, and my body moved to the sound of the lock clicking softly. “You went through my things,” he said. I scoffed. “You’re worried about that right now?” He didn’t answer. That silence again. That frustrating, controlled silence that made it feel like I was always one step behind him. I turned and slammed the photograph onto his desk. “What is this?” Edris looke

I left Edris’s office pretending I was fine, but I wasn’t, not even close.His phone call and that slight change in his expression kept bothering my mind, that wasn’t normal.Nothing about Edris Veltri was normal.We were walking down the hallway when I slowed my steps.“Excuse me.”Edris stopped and turned slightly.“What?”“I need the restroom.”He studied me for a second, as if he didn’t believe me, then he nodded once.“Don’t take too long.”I frowned.“Excuse me?”But he had already turned away.Of course, he would always act like I was the problem.I headed toward the restroom, and the hallway was empty.I stepped inside quickly, closed the door, and waited for a few seconds to make sure no one was following me.Then I moved.I didn’t go to the restroom.Obviously, I went the other way back toward his office.My heart started beating faster as I walked urgently, afraid of getting caught. “That phone call wasn’t normal and I needed to know why”, I said to myself while hurrying t

I stood there, staring at the spot where Edris had been a few seconds ago.I was so confused, angry, and frustrated.What the hell was wrong with that man?I had literally stabbed him yesterday, yet somehow I was the one feeling unsettled.I glanced at the breakfast on the table.The eggs, the toas
Married To The Man Who Killed My Twin Brother CHAPTER 2
Edris wrapped his hand around the handle and pulled it out, then said to me,“Finished? If that was enough to make you feel better, then do it again.”Before I could try stabbing him again, something strong hit the back of my head, and I passed out on the floor.The next morning, I woke up expectin

“One, two, three.”The camera flashed again, and another round of applause followed almost immediately. I kept the smile on my face even though my cheeks already hurt from forcing it for hours. Around us, guests moved through the grand ballroom laughing, drinking expensive champagne, and celebratin
