One Heart, Which Brother? Chapter 94
The day moved like molasses.Lia spent most of it indoors, finalizing a proposal for an upcoming jewelry collaboration and distracting herself with the mundane. But it didn’t help. Not when her heart beat like a warning drum in her chest. Not when every noise outside made her glance at the window.Julián played in the living room, humming to himself as he stacked colorful blocks with the kind of innocence only a child could maintain in a world so cruel.She wanted to hold on to that innocence. Guard it with her life.By late afternoon, Daph stepped into the room with a face Lia recognized too well: something’s wrong.“What?” Lia asked instantly.Daph hesitated, then passed her phone over. “You need to see this.”It was a security snapshot. Blurry. Black and white.But clear enough.Lia’s stomach turned.Ken.Standing across the street from the house. A coat draped over his arm. Face half-hidden. Watching.He didn’t knock. He didn’t call. He just stood there. Like he couldn’t make up h

DAPH’S APARTMENT “I swear to God, Lia… if I didn’t love you so much, I would’ve killed you five years ago.”Lia smiled tiredly, running her fingers through Julián’s curly hair as he sat on the living room rug playing with blocks. “I know, Daph. I know.”Daph placed the mug of hot cocoa in front of her and sat across the couch, eyes studying Lia like a scientist dissecting a miracle.“You still look the same. Maybe a little softer around the edges,” Daph teased gently. “Still hot though.”Lia chuckled, shaking her head. “Life in Norway will do that to you. There’s peace there. At that, Daph’s smile slipped.“So…” she began cautiously, “how long are you staying?”“Two weeks,” Lia replied, voice steady. “Just enough to sort out some property things. I’ve been handling everything remotely, but some signatures need to be in-person. Then we’re gone again. Maybe Spain. Maybe somewhere quieter.”Daph frowned. “And Ruben?”“There’s nothing left,” Lia said quickly. Too quickly. “He gave me fr

The gentle hum of a coffee machine filled the cozy air of the café. Snow dusted the windows outside, turning the view into a picture-perfect postcard, but inside was warmth, chatter, and the quiet tapping of fingers against a keyboard.Lia sat in the corner booth, wearing a cream knitted sweater over her now slightly visible baby bump. Her face was fuller, cheeks kissed with a natural glow. Her hair was longer now, dark curls framing her face softly. She looked… peaceful.She wasn’t rich yet, but she was getting there.After arriving in Europe, she started small tutoring English online, ghostwriting romance novellas, taking weekend courses in business management. It was grueling, and lonely sometimes. But every night she slept without fear. No nightmares. No locked doors. No Ruben. No blackmail. No threats. Just silence and safety.Her startup skincare line, LustraGlow, had just secured its first distributor. Daph helped design the logo. A local Norwegian influencer promoted it withou

The night sky was heavy with unshed rain as Lia stood beside Daph at the edge of the airport’s private terminal. Her suitcase sat silently between them, her passport clutched in one trembling hand, and her other hand cradled protectively over her flat stomach.This was it.No more second-guessing.No more turning back.Daph was trying to stay strong, but her red eyes betrayed her. “You don’t have to do this alone,” she whispered.“I already have,” Lia said softly, her voice barely above the hum of the wind. “I just didn’t know it before.”Daph reached out and pulled her into a tight hug, one that held every word neither of them could say aloud. Apologies. Promises. A kind of grief that felt like death the end of an old life. But this time, Lia chose the ending.“You’ll call me, right?” Daph asked, her voice shaking.“Every week,” Lia promised. “You’ll know everything. Except…”She trailed off, her hand brushing her stomach again.“I won’t say a word. Not to Ken. Not to Ruben,” Daph sw

The airport was loud, buzzing with departure calls, suitcase wheels, and conversations in every language.Lia barely heard any of it.One moment, she was standing in line for her final check-in. The next, the terminal tilted. Her vision blurred into white noise, her fingers numb around her passport.Then everything went black.Hospital Room - Late AfternoonThe beeping was the first thing she heard when consciousness returned.Soft. Slow. Consistent.Lia’s lashes fluttered, her head throbbing. The scent of antiseptic lingered around her like cold breath. She turned her head slowly and saw Daph slumped in a chair by her bedside, her hand protectively cupping Lia’s.“You scared the hell out of me,” Daph murmured, eyes still closed. “You faint in the airport and vanish into emergency care and don’t expect me to age five years?”Lia let out a hoarse chuckle.Daph opened her eyes and straightened. “You okay? Should I call the nurse?”“I… what happened?”“You collapsed. They ran some tests.

Two weeks later.The city air felt crisper than usual, or maybe Lia just noticed things more now, like how her chest didn’t ache every time she inhaled. The trauma hadn’t left; it was still curled beneath her ribs like a reminder. But she could breathe now. She could exhale without trembling.She sat at a café near the courthouse, a delicate pastry untouched on her plate, passport peeking from her purse.She hadn’t told many people she was leaving. Just Daph, her travel agent, and the lawyer. And now… the final chapter was being written.Her phone buzzed.Daph:He signed everything. Clean. No drama. You’re officially free. Want me to come?Lia stared at the message. The words echoed through her mind like a foreign anthem. Free.She typed back slowly.No. I need to do this part alone. I’ll see you before I go.She turned her face up to the sun and let it warm her skin. She hadn’t realized how cold she’d been. Even with luxury wrapped around her, she had been so cold.The waitress re
