Nate’s Pov

The warehouse smelled like rust and old water. Diana stood over Robert with a gun pointed at his chest. Serena’s hand was ice-cold in mine. I kept her slightly behind me as we stepped inside, every muscle tight.

“Let him go,” I said, voice flat. “You want me. Not him.”

Diana smiled. “I want everything, Nate. The company. The truth. And I want both of you to watch while I take it.”

Serena’s fingers dug into my arm. “Dad,” she whispered. Robert’s eyes were open but unfocused. A thin li

A thin line of blood ran from his temple.I took another slow step forward, keeping Serena close. “You’re not getting the company like this. The papers are locked. The board is watching. Hurt him and you lose any chance of walking away free.”“Then sign,” Diana said. She pressed the gun harder against Robert’s side. “Or I finish what Victor started years ago.”Serena’s voice shook but stayed clear. “We’ll sign. Just don’t hurt him.”I looked at her. Her face was pale, but her eyes were steady on me. She

    Serena’s PovThe park felt colder after the grandmother’s words. Nate’s phone still glowed with Victor’s threat. My hand stayed locked in his. The old woman watched us with eyes that had seen too much.“Your mother’s death wasn’t an accident,” Victor’s message had said. “And Robert knew.”I felt sick. Nate’s arm tightened around me. He didn’t speak right away. He just held me, his chin resting on my hair while the city moved around us like nothing had changed.“Nate,” I whispered. “What if my dad really knew? What if everything good I remember is built on something terrible?”He pulled back enough to look at me. His eyes were tired but steady. “Then we find out the truth together. No more secrets between us. I love you. That part is still true.”I nodded and rested my forehead against his. “I love you too. Even when it feels like the ground keeps disappearing under us.”The grandmother stood slowly, leaning on her cane. “You have a choice. Sign the papers and end the old pact, or walk

    Nate’s PovClaire held up the old photo like a weapon. Eleanor—my mother—holding two babies. Serena’s hand tightened in mine until it hurt. I pulled her closer on the couch, my arm locked around her shoulders. She was breathing fast, but she stayed strong, leaning into me.“What is this?” I asked, voice low. My other hand covered Serena’s, trying to warm her cold fingers. “More secrets? More ways to tear us apart?”Claire smiled thinly. “The pact went deeper than affairs. Your mothers traded children to seal business deals. One of the babies in that photo is Serena. The other… might be you, Nate. Switched at birth to hide the bloodlines.”Serena turned to me, eyes wide with panic. “Nate… if that’s true, then everything we feel—”I cut her off with a kiss. Short, firm, full of everything I felt. “No,” I said against her lips. “We are real. I don’t care about photos or pacts. I love you, Serena. The woman in my arms right now. That’s what matters.”She kissed me back, desperate and scar

    Nate’s PovMarcus stood there in the hallway, looking like someone had punched him in the gut. Serena’s hand tightened in mine until her nails dug into my palm. My best friend—my CFO, the guy who’d had my back for years—was her twin brother. The hidden one. The secret Eleanor had buried.“Marcus?” I said, voice rough. I pulled Serena closer to my side, my arm around her waist. She was shaking a little. “You’re… her brother?”He nodded slowly, eyes on Serena. “The lab just confirmed it. I always knew I was adopted. Never dug too deep. But this… Serena, I’m sorry. I had no idea.”Serena stepped forward but stayed pressed against me. Her free hand reached out, then dropped. “A brother. All this time you were right here, helping Nate, and we never knew.” Her voice cracked. I rubbed her back, trying to steady her.I kissed the side of her head. “Hey. It’s okay. This is a lot. But he’s still Marcus. Still the guy who calls me out on my shit. We’ll figure it out.”She looked up at me, eyes s

    Serena’s PovThe words hit me like ice water. A twin. Hidden. Given to the Calloways. I stood there in the doorway in my robe, Nate’s arm around me like a lifeline, staring at Dr. Fitch and Diana’s smug face. My legs felt weak. Nate pulled me tighter against his side, his body warm and solid.“A twin?” I whispered. My voice sounded far away. “I had a brother or sister? And they took them?”Nate’s hand rubbed my arm, slow and steady. “Serena, look at me.” I did. His eyes were dark and full of love, even now in the middle of this new storm. “We don’t know the full story yet. Breathe with me. In and out. I’ve got you.”I leaned into him, letting his strength hold me up. His heart beat steady under my ear. “It’s too much, Nate. First the maybe-father thing, now this. I feel like my whole life is a lie. But you… you’re still here. Holding me.”“Always,” he said quietly, kissing the top of my head. “I love you. This doesn’t change us. Twin or no twin, you’re still the woman I fell for. The

    Serena’s Pov “You’re not Mr. Hargrove.” The words slipped out before I could stop them. The man behind the massive desk wasn’t the balding loan officer I’d spoken to twice before. This guy was younger, sharper, in a black suit that probably cost more than my rent for a year. His eyes, dark, unrea

    Serena's Pov "Last month?" The words tasted like ash in my mouth.Nate's face stayed composed, but I felt his hand tense around mine. "Victoria is exaggerating. We haven't spoken in months.""Liar," Victoria said sweetly, flipping her hair. "You called me, remember? Said you needed someone who und

    Nate's Pov She froze when I mentioned the coast. Recognition flickered across her face, but she shook her head. “What coast? What are you talking about?” I stepped closer. “Ten years ago. Stormy night. You pulled me out of the water when my boat capsized. Then you disappeared before I could eve

    Serena's Pov The elevator ride down felt like descending into hell. Nate’s hand stayed on my back the whole time, warm, steady, completely fake.
