Ciara's pov

I woke up on Cain’s couch with a blanket pulled tight around me. The fabric smelled like him. Leather and soap and something darker that made my stomach twist in ways I didn’t want to name. Morning light pushed through the blinds, gray and cold. I didn’t remember falling asleep. I only remembered the photo. The message. The feeling of eyes on me everywhere I went.

My phone sat on the coffee table. Dozens of missed calls. I didn’t touch it.

Voices came from the kitchen. Low. Tense.

    **Chapter 26 — A New Life**The boxes were everywhere. Half taped. Half open. Ciara knelt in the middle of the living room sorting through a pile of Alice’s drawings. Her hair was up in a messy knot. My shirt hung loose on her frame. She looked peaceful. Tired. But peaceful.I set another box down by the door. “You sure you don’t want to ship more of this? We can fit it on the jet.”She looked up. Smiled a little. “Alice wants to start fresh. She said the old stuff reminds her of the bad days. We’re keeping the important things. The rest… we can buy new when we get there.”I nodded. Walked over and knelt beside her. My hand found her lower back. Stayed there. “She’s doing okay?”Ciara leaned into me. Her head rested on my shoulder for a second. “Better. The nightmares are less. She asked about the new house yesterday. Wanted to know if there would be a yard for the baby to play in.”The baby. Our baby. The words still hit me in the chest every time. I slid my hand around to rest on he

    **Chapter 25 — Choose Me**The new apartment smelled like fresh paint and the faint salt of the ocean outside the windows. No reporters. No flashing lights. No Simon waiting around the corner. Just us. For the first time in what felt like forever, just us.I stood at the balcony door watching the waves break against the shore. Cain came up behind me. His arms slid around my waist. His chin rested on my shoulder. Warm. Solid. Real.“You’re quiet,” he said. His voice was low. Close to my ear.I leaned back into him. My hands covered his where they rested on my stomach. The small bump was barely noticeable yet. But it was there. Growing. Ours.“I’m thinking,” I said. “About everything. About how we got here. About what comes next.”Cain turned me in his arms. His hands stayed on my waist. His eyes searched mine. “Tell me what you’re thinking.”I hesitated. My fingers traced the collar of his shirt. “I’m scared. Not of the baby. Not of us. But of how fast everything changed. One day I was

    **Chapter 163 — The Divorce**The courtroom smelled like polished wood and old paper. I sat at the long table with my lawyer on one side and Seraphine on the other. My hands stayed folded in my lap. Tight. The ring on my finger felt heavier than it ever had. Soon it wouldn’t be there anymore.Simon sat across from us. His lawyer whispered something in his ear. He nodded once. His eyes found mine. Calm. Too calm. Like he still thought he could fix this.The judge cleared her throat. “Mrs. Hyde, you’ve reviewed the final documents?”I nodded. “Yes, Your Honor.”My lawyer slid the stack across the table. Signatures already in place. Mine. The judge’s. Just waiting for Simon’s. He picked up the pen. Hesitated. Looked at me again.“You don’t have to do this,” he said. Quiet. Just loud enough for the table. “We can still make it work. Publicly. Privately. Whatever you need. I can protect you from everything that’s coming.”I met his eyes. Steady. “I don’t need your protection anymore.”Simo

    **Chapter 161 — The Brothers**The study door closed behind me with a soft click. Simon stood by the window, back to me, glass in his hand. The same room where Father used to lecture us. The same heavy desk. The same smell of old books and old grudges.“You wanted to talk,” I said. I stayed near the door. Arms loose at my sides. “So talk.”Simon turned. Slow. His eyes were bloodshot. The glass in his hand was almost empty. “You think you won.”I didn’t answer right away. Just watched him. The way his fingers tightened around the glass. The way his shoulders sat too high. Years of this. Years of him smiling in public while he bled the family dry. Years of him using Ciara like a shield.“I didn’t come here to fight,” I said. My voice stayed even. “I came here to end it.”Simon laughed. Short. Ugly. “End it? You fucked my wife. You took my company. You took my place. And now you want to end it?”He set the glass down hard. The sound cracked through the room. He stepped closer. “You’ve al

    Ciara's POV The boardroom felt smaller than it should. Too many eyes. Too much silence. I stood at the far end of the long table with the folder in my hands. Evidence. Real evidence. Months of messages. Bank records. The original contract my mother signed. The truth about Alice’s first kidnapping. Everything Simon thought he buried.Father sat at the head. His face gave nothing away. The board members shifted in their seats. Some looked uncomfortable. Others looked hungry. Simon stood near the window. Calm on the surface. But I saw the way his fingers tightened on the back of the chair.I didn’t wait for permission. I opened the folder. Slides clicked onto the screen behind me.“Alice’s first kidnapping,” I said. My voice stayed steady. Barely. “It wasn’t random. Simon knew. He let it happen. He used it to push the marriage deal. To keep my family quiet. To keep me quiet.”Murmurs rippled through the room. Simon’s head snapped toward me.“Ciara,” he said. Warning in his tone. “This i

    Ciara's POV Seraphine didn’t look up when we walked back into the living room. Her fingers flew across the keyboard. Three screens glowed in front of her. Maps. Logs. Bank transfers. The apartment smelled like cold coffee and adrenaline.“I found the thread,” she said. Her voice was flat. Tired. “It wasn’t Simon. Not directly.”Cain stopped beside her. His hand stayed on my lower back. “Explain.”Seraphine rotated one screen. Highlighted lines of code and ownership records. “The airfield. The shell companies. The security logs. They all loop back to the old Hyde network. The ones your father cut ties with years ago. They never really left. They’ve been quiet. Waiting. Using Simon’s mess with you as cover. Noise to hide behind.”I stepped closer. My fingers gripped the back of Cain’s shirt. “They have Alice.”Seraphine nodded. “They had her at that property until yesterday. Moved her again. But I have a new location. Warehouse district. Low security. They think we’re still chasing Sim

  • Pleasured By My Husband's Twin Brother    123: THE INVESTIGATOR'S REPORT.

    SIMON'S POV The PI slid the envelope across the desk like it was nothing. Well, unless you knew the content it actually looked like nothing, just a plain brown envelope with no markings. I didn’t open it right away. I just stared at it. “Everything’s there,” he said. “Timestamps, hotel logs,

  • Pleasured By My Husband's Twin Brother    122: I MADE MY MOVE.

    Natalia's POV I watched Cain from across the cafe. He was nursing a whiskey. His tie was loosened and his eyes were on his phone. I’d timed this perfectly. Jess sat beside me, her legs crossed, and a wine glass in her hand. We’d been doing this more lately. Small talks turning into plans. She wa

  • Pleasured By My Husband's Twin Brother    121: ROOM 407

    Ciara's POV I left Cain without an answer partly because I was too scared. I stopped by the studio to get a work done. I stopped for lunch at Seraphine's and called Alice while at it. At the close of work, I did the most stupid, un-ciara-ly thing. I drove to Cain's hotel. The elevator dinged o

    Ciara's POV The bedroom door stayed closed that night. I stood outside it for a long minute, my hands hovering over the knob, before I turned and walked down the hall to the guest room. I fell on the bed with an exhausted sigh and pulled the sheets up to my chin. Simon didn’t come looking for
