THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR BOOK 3 - Chapter 33: The Truth Revealed (Pt 2)
I do, and what I see in his eyes makes my chest tight. There's love there, yes, but also something else. Something that looks like... goodbye."We love you," he says, and Alex nods. "Both of us. More than we ever thought possible.""But?" I whisper, because I can hear it coming."But we love each other too," Alex says. "We're brothers. We're family. And we can't keep doing this."The room starts spinning. I sink back into my chair, my legs suddenly unable to hold me up. "What are you saying?""We're saying that this has to stop," Austin says gently. "The competition, the rivalry, the... triangle. It's killing all of us.""I know." The words come out as a whisper. "I know it is. I've been trying to figure out how to...""How to choose," Alex finishes. "We know. And we're not going to make you.""We're choosing for you," Austin adds. "We're choosing each other."The words hang in the air between us like a blade. I can hear my own heartbeat, can feel the blood rushing in my ears. This is
THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR BOOK 3 - Chapter 32: The Truth Revealed
~ Isabella POV ~The coffee in my hands has gone cold, but I can't stop gripping the mug. My knuckles are white against the ceramic, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to shatter it if I hold on any tighter. But letting go feels impossible right now. Everything feels impossible.Three days. It's been three days since Madeline's article hit the internet, and I still feel like I'm drowning. The headlines flash behind my eyelids every time I blink: "Gallery Curator's Criminal Father Threatens Walton Empire." "Art World Scandal: Isabella Moretti's Family Secrets Exposed." "Billionaire Twins Caught in Love Triangle with Troubled Curator."My phone buzzes against the coffee table, and I flinch. Another reporter, probably. Or maybe someone from the gallery world, calling to tell me I'm persona non grata. I've stopped answering calls I don't recognize."Isabella." Nora's voice cuts through the fog in my head. She's been camping out in my apartment since the story broke, bringing me food I don't ea
THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR BOOK 3 - Chapter 31: The Brothers' Breaking Point
The penthouse feels like a tomb when I get back. Alex is standing at the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring out at the city that's probably already buzzing with news of our family's latest scandal. His shoulders are rigid, his hands clenched behind his back."How is she?" he asks without turning around."Destroyed." I throw my keys on the marble counter harder than necessary. "She's been crying for hours. Hasn't eaten, hasn't slept. The reporters downstairs are treating her like she's some kind of criminal.""She's not answering Leo's calls.""Because she's terrified. Because she thinks this is going to destroy us, destroy the family, destroy everything we've worked for." I move to the bar, pour myself three fingers of whiskey even though it's barely noon. "She's ready to disappear rather than let us get caught in the crossfire."Alex finally turns around, and I see something I haven't seen in years. Vulnerability. Real, raw fear behind his carefully controlled mask."Austin, I need yo
THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR BOOK 3 - Chapter 30: Austin's Plea
~ Austin POV ~The newspaper hits the marble floor of the Walton penthouse with a sound like breaking glass. My hands shake as I stare at the headline screaming across the front page: "WALTON TWINS BEWITCHED BY CON ARTIST: Gallery Curator's Criminal Past Exposed."Isabella's photo stares back at me from beneath the headline, and everything inside me goes cold."Austin." Alex's voice cuts through the morning silence, sharp and dangerous. "We need to talk."I can't look at him. Can't process the words swimming across the page. Forgery. Fraud. Destroyed her father's gallery. Twenty million dollars. Criminal investigation."This is bullshit." The words scrape out of my throat. "All of it. She wouldn't... she couldn't...""Read it again." Alex's footsteps echo across the marble as he moves closer. "All of it, Austin. Every damn word."But I can't. Because even though I know Isabella, even though I've seen her passion for art, her integrity, her gentle heart that wouldn't hurt anyone... the
THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR BOOK 3 - Chapter 29: Madeline's Investigation
~ Madeline Royce POV ~The coffee shop on Fifth Avenue smells like burnt espresso and desperation. Perfect. I slide into the corner booth, my recorder already running in my purse, and wait for the man who says he has a story worth my time.Marco Moretti looks exactly like what I'd expect from a washed-up art dealer. Expensive suit that's seen better days, manicured hands that shake slightly when he reaches for his coffee cup. The kind of desperation that makes sources either gold mines or complete wastes of my afternoon."Ms. Royce." His voice, probably cultivated for charm back when he could afford charm. "Thank you for meeting me.""You said you had information about Isabella Moretti." I lean forward, notepad ready. "The woman who's got both Walton twins wrapped around her finger."His jaw tightens. "She's my daughter."Bingo. The recorder in my purse practically hums with satisfaction. "And you're here because?""Because she's not who they think she is." He pulls out a worn manila
THE BILLIONAIRE SECRET TWIN HEIR BOOK 3 - Chapter 28: Austin's Discovery (Pt 2)
"Because you thought I'd just throw money at the problem?""Because I thought you'd want to help, and I couldn't let you get dragged into my family's mess.""But you could let Alex get dragged into it."The accusation hangs in the air, and I realize how it looks. How it must look to Austin, watching his brother handle my crisis while he's been kept in the dark."It's not like that," I say, but even to my own ears, it sounds weak."Then what is it like?" Austin's voice is getting quieter, more dangerous. "Because it looks like you went to him first. It looks like when you needed help, when you were scared and desperate, you chose Alex. Not me. Alex.""I didn't choose anyone. I tried to handle it myself.""But when you couldn't, when you finally broke down and accepted help, it was his shoulder you cried on. His resources you accepted. His protection you let yourself depend on."The truth of it hits me like a physical blow. He's right. When I finally cracked, when I finally let someone
