One Heart, Which Brother? Chapter 65
I hadn’t seen Ken since that evening.No text. No call. And as much as I tried not to care, my chest ached with the weight of everything unsaid between us.It was the fifth day. Daph noticed the way I kept checking my phone. She just didn’t say anything, not until I asked the question that had been eating at me since morning.“Have you heard from Ken?”She looked up from her smoothie, blinked, and gave a cautious shrug. “No. Why?”I didn't answer.Instead, I stood, walked toward the window, and stared out into the gardens of the Delwunco estate.Ruben had been unusually sweet, attentive, gentle, giving me space while still reminding me he was near.We even watched a movie together last night. I had fallen asleep on his shoulder.So why was I thinking about Ken?Because he was gone.Just like that.And I knew… I knew it had everything to do with what happened that night.The almost-kiss. The look in his eyes. The silent pain.He had hoped for something more. And I crushed it.“I think

He was inches away from me.The old Ken. The one I once knew. The one I thought I’d broken.“I remember everything, Lia,” he whispered. “You kissed me first. You cried for me. You begged me to fight for you. And I”“Stop,” I said, pulling back. My voice was shaky but firm.He looked stunned. “I’m sorry, Ken,” I whispered. “But I can’t go back. I’m… trying with Ruben. It’s not perfect, but it’s something. And I need it to work. I want it to.”He stepped back, jaw clenched.“You were mine first.”“No,” I said gently. “I was never truly yours. Not the way you wanted. And not the way I needed.”He nodded slowly, the pain raw in his eyes.Then he turned and walked away.And I stood there, trembling. Hurt. Confused. Guilty.But certain.I touched the bracelet on my wrist, those three words burning into my skin.Start with now.The next day, I needed air.Not from the mansion, not from Ruben, not even from the hovering security. I needed something real, something not covered in tinted windo

Lia’s POVIt felt… different now.The morning sunlight danced across the marble floor as I walked barefoot through the quiet house. I could still hear faint sounds from the kitchen. Ruben had started making me tea every morning. Chamomile, just how I liked it.It was these small things that made me confused.Because how could the same man who once blackmailed me into this marriage also be the one who tucks me in, kisses my forehead, and pulls a blanket over me when I fall asleep during study?My life was no longer a storm, it had become a careful balancing act.“Good morning, wifey,” Ruben said, appearing in the doorway with a tray in his hands. He always looked frustratingly good in his white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up, black slacks, no tie.I narrowed my eyes. “Are you trying to make me fall in love with you or something?”He smirked. “Is it working?”I looked away, lips twitching. “Maybe.”He walked over, placed the tray beside me, and kissed my temple. “You have two sessions t

The letter sat untouched on my nightstand.Two whole days had passed since Ken left. I hadn’t read it. I couldn’t. I wasn’t ready to feel everything again. The conversation replayed in my mind on an endless loop his voice, his eyes, the almost kiss, his goodbye.It haunted me.And Ruben… he hadn’t said anything. But I knew he felt the shift in the air. The way he glanced at me when he thought I wasn’t looking, the way his hands lingered longer than usual on my waist, the way he held me at night without saying a word. He knew something had happened. Or maybe he just knew Ken had been here.But he didn’t ask.And I didn’t speak.The silence between us was no longer cold it was careful.I sat in my private study that afternoon, a mug of untouched tea beside me and an online lecture playing on low volume through my laptop. My mind was elsewhere. I was trying. I truly was. But how do you focus on economics when your entire world feels like it’s shifting beneath your feet?Ruben walked in q

The late afternoon sun poured in from the glass doors. The house was unusually quiet, the kind of silence that made your thoughts louder. My tutor had left over an hour ago, and I had spent the time attempting to study. But my heart wasn’t in it. Not today.Something felt off.I closed my laptop, pushing aside the textbook on international finance. I rubbed the bridge of my nose, exhaustion setting into my bones, not the kind that sleep cause, but the kind that comes from emotional heaviness.I needed fresh air.Pulling on a light cardigan, I moved toward the balcony but froze halfway through the hallway. My heart stilled.He was there.Ken.Leaning against the wall in his usual careless pose, like he owned every room he walked into. His dark jeans fit like they were made for him, and the sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up just enough to expose the veins in his forearms. His hair was slightly tousled, as though he’d driven fast with the windows down.He looked… breathtaking. An

Ruben left before I woke up.I could still feel the warmth on the other side of the bed, though. His cologne lingered faintly on the sheets, woodsy and dark, like everything about him.I didn’t wake up with a weight on my chest. I didn’t have to brace myself before opening my eyes.And when I walked downstairs, the smell of fresh coffee greeted me.There he was, shirt sleeves rolled up, hair still damp from a shower, flipping through his tablet at the kitchen island like it was just any regular morning and not a scene out of a dream.“Good morning, wife,” he said without looking up.I narrowed my eyes. “You're suspiciously...domestic today.”He grinned without shame. “You say that like I didn’t just install two espresso machines so you’d stop crying over your instant coffee.”I blinked. “You what?”“Check behind the fridge.”Sure enough, hidden in a corner was a machine that looked like it belonged in a five-star café.I turned back to him, stunned. “You remembered.”His eyes met mine
