THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Brother Who Never Died
Daniel didn't move.For several seconds, he simply stared at Grace as though she had spoken in a language he no longer understood.Then he lowered his phone."Say that again."Grace stood near the living-room window, her arms folded tightly across her chest. The light from the street outside fell across her face, revealing the exhaustion she had been trying so hard to hide."Daniel—""No." His voice cracked. "You said someone helped you leave the hospital. You said it was my brother."Grace looked at Amelia.Amelia had never seen her father look this frightened. Angry, yes. Frustrated, certainly. But this was different. His expression carried the weight of something he had spent years trying to bury."Which brother?" he demanded.Grace swallowed."Samuel."Daniel took a step backward."Samuel is dead.""I know what you were told.""Don't do that." His voice rose. "Don't stand there and tell me you know what I was told. I buried that man in my mind twenty years ago.""You didn't bury h
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Night Everything Changed
Amelia couldn't stop looking at the photograph.She had zoomed in so many times that the digital image had become pixelated and blurry, but the faces remained unmistakable under the harsh lighting: Damon, pale on the gurney; Elizabeth, hovering nearby; Richard, standing commanding in the frame; and her mother, Grace Bennett, standing quietly near the doorway.The date stamp in the lower corner was crystal clear.October 14th, three years ago.There was no mistake. Her mother had been inside Westbridge Memorial Hospital on the exact night Damon had been admitted with a severe concussion. The same woman who had claimed she spent decades isolated in fear, unable to return to campus, had been physically present during one of the most critical nights of Damon's life.Amelia’s fingers trembled as she pulled up Grace’s contact card. She hit call.Ring.Ring.Ring.No answer."Please pick up," Amelia whispered into the dark room.She dialed a second time. On the fourth ring, the line clicked
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Woman Who Knew Everything
Damon didn't remember the drive back.He remembered Amelia's voice. He remembered the raw, fractured way she had said his mother knew everything. And he remembered the sickening, heavy silence that had followed.Everything else was a disjointed blur of rain-slicked traffic lights, impatient horns, and his own thoughts racing faster than his foot could press down on the accelerator.Elizabeth knew.His mother had known about Amelia's family all along. She had known about Richard's toxic obsession, the fraudulent guardianship papers, and the decades of engineered silence—and she had kept it buried.He pulled his car into the restaurant parking lot, cutting the engine before it had even finished cycling down. His phone vibrated instantly against his thigh.> AMELIA: Where are you?> DAMON: Outside. Coming in now.> He shoved the door open, pushing through the glass entrance of the private dining room.Daniel was standing near the reception partition, his face grim. Elizabeth sat at the
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Name On The Birth Certificate
Amelia read the document for the seventh time.Richard Hayes.The name was still there. It didn't matter how many times she blinked or how carefully she examined the faded handwriting on her screen. The name remained exactly where it was—boldly inscribed beneath the section marked Father's Details.Her phone vibrated violently against her palm.DAMON CALLING.She stared at his name for three agonizing seconds before pressing the speaker button."Amelia?"She tried to speak, but her throat locked completely."Baby, what's wrong?" His voice was laced with instant concern.That single, protective endearment nearly undid her. A tear escaped her lashes, trailing down her cheek. "Can you... can you come home?""I'm already on my way. Where are you?""At home.""Okay. Don't touch anything. Don't leave the house. I'll be there in ten minutes."The call ended.Amelia slowly lowered herself onto the edge of the living room sofa, her limbs heavy. She had spent her entire life believing that the
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Woman Behind The Silence
"Because Grace is still alive."For several terrifying seconds, nobody in the small living room moved.Daniel held his cell phone pressed against his ear, his face completely hollowed out, eyes pinned to the floorboards. Amelia stood frozen by the dining table, her hand pressed flat against her chest to steady the violent hammering of her heart. Beside her, Damon shifted, stepping up until his arm brushed hers—his presence solid, unwavering, even as his own jaw set in rigid shock.Thomas was the first to break the suffocating silence, taking a heavy step toward Daniel."Elizabeth, what are you saying?" Thomas demanded, his voice raspy.A long, shaky breath hissed over the phone’s speaker. "I'm saying exactly what you heard, Thomas.""Grace is alive?" Thomas grabbed the high back of a dining chair, his knuckles turning white. "That's impossible. I was told she died after her transfer from Westbridge Memorial! I was given the death certificate!""You were told what Richard wanted you to
THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND The Writing On The Photograph
Amelia couldn't move.Damon stood in front of her, holding his phone as though the device had suddenly turned to lead in his hand. The silence in the small room stretched so tight it felt on the verge of snapping."What did you say?" she whispered, her voice barely carrying across the small space between them.Damon looked at her, his dark eyes filled with a terrifying mixture of shock and fiercely protective instinct. "Your mother."Amelia shook her head, taking a half-step back. "No. What about my mother?"Damon swallowed hard, the muscles in his throat tightening. "Elizabeth said Grace was the one who saved me that night."Adrian stepped closer, his brow furrowed in sharp disbelief. "That's impossible. Mum was already gone by the time Damon was taken to the hospital.""Apparently," Damon replied, his voice dropping low, "she wasn't.""Then why didn't she come back for us?!"Nobody answered.Amelia's thoughts raced in a frantic circle. Her mother had supposedly died when she was bar
