FOURTEEN | Hadley

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-06-11 21:57:40

I’m running before the door even closes behind me.

Matthew calls my name once—sharp, low—but I keep going, heels clicking like panic across the marble floor. If I stop, I’ll start crying. If I look back, I’ll lose every shred of control I faked at that damn dinner table.

I press my back to the cool marble wall and just stand there, one hand splayed over my chest like that might steady my heart.

He almost kissed me.

I almost let him.

God. I almost wanted him to.

No—I did want him to. Which is exactly the reason I bolted like Cinderella post-curfew, minus the pumpkin carriage and talking mice.

It’s stupid how I can still feel him. His hands on my waist, his breath in my hair, the echo of his voice saying It could be our song. As if songs are promises and not landmines when you're impersonating someone else's life.

I slide down until I’m crouched, forehead pressed to my knees. What the hell am I doing?

I pull out my phone. I need air. I need space. I need to go somewhere that isn’t wrap

  • The Billionaire's Ex is My Twin   THIRTY | Hadley

    “Apology accepted,” I breathe out, thighs still spread wide open.This beautiful man has just ruined oral sex for me. No one—not even him—will ever make me feel my soul explode like that again. I can’t even imagine what it feels like to have his cock thrusting inside me, railing me senseless. The thought alone makes my cunt pulse.He probably guesses I won’t be able to stand for the next ten minutes. He grabs my panties, inhales them like they’re the only drug capable of getting him high, then slides them back up my legs in a slow, sensual tease until they cover my aching cunt. “It feels like torture,” I hiss, jerking my hips, chasing his touch. Any friction.“You’re greedy,” he teases.Fuck. I think this man could make me cum with a single groan.He picks up my skinny jeans, trying to put them on me, failing miserably. He definitely doesn’t have as much patience as he pretends.“How the hell do you put these on?” he mutters, letting them fall to the floor. “We’ll do without them.”I

  • The Billionaire's Ex is My Twin   TWENTY NINE | Hadley

    “Matthew Jones, you really know your way to a woman’s heart,” I say, setting aside my new favorite journal.He arches a brow, closing the tiny gap between our faces. “Yeah? Tell me more.”I open my mouth to tease him but he kisses me before I even get a syllable out. It’s hungry. Like he’s been waiting all damn afternoon to get his mouth on mine.He lowers me back onto the carpet, his body covering mine easily, pinning me to the floor. His weight turns my pulse into a frantic, uneven drumbeat. His hands slide under my cable-knit sweater immediately, warm palms gliding up my sides. I shiver.I gasp when he cups my breasts through my bra. He feels the lace for one second before unclasping it with obscene expertise and pushing it out of the way. I can’t get a single coherent thought out. His thumbs flick my nipples, rolling them between his fingers until my back arches hard off the floor.“Hmmm—” The sound spills out of me, completely out of my control.He drags his mouth down my stomac

  • The Billionaire's Ex is My Twin   TWENTY EIGHT | Hadley

    “I think I love book coffee dates.”I lift my head from the book I’ve been stuck on page forty-two for five minutes. Not that ‘Normal People’ by Sally Rooney isn’t good. It’s painfully good. But trying to hold up this masquerade is frying every single brain cell I own. One wrong sentence from me and proof, busted.Which is ridiculous, because I’ve prepared for this like it’s the bar exam. I memorized everything Harper should know. I’m taking French refreshers and freaking manners lessons. Thank God all the sexy Italian men in my mafia romance phase made me learn Italian, because unlike French, Harper is basically native-level fluent.Britney and I dug into every scrap of Harper and Matthew’s history. We watched her old lives and interviews, scrolled through every article, devoured the gossip, even went down fan-theory rabbit holes. Britney went as far as subtly poking Carter for intel using “her methods,” which I don’t want to know about.We learned their relationship was private desp

  • The Billionaire's Ex is My Twin   TWENTY SEVEN | Hadley

    “Hadley” Britney shouts in my face. It’s strange hearing my real name now. I look at Britney through the mirror giving me a concern questioning look. “Are you okay?”“Hmm. Yes. Why ?”“Because I’ve been trying to get your attention for two whole minutes.”“I was just… I was just thinking about this important campaign coming up.” I wave a hand vaguely hoping it ends the interrogation. “What were you saying?”“What do you think about your hair?”God bless this woman.“I’ve never looked more like Harper than now.” I say, admiring the shiny blonde in the mirror and praying I don’t go bald when this gig is over. “Hairstyling might be your actual calling.”She laughs, and it’s contagious. Something about being around Britney makes the world lighten. I join her, admiring the transformation.The fact that, aside from being identical twins, we’ve aged the same helps keep this masquerade airtight. Our biggest differences have always been our hair and the tiny height gap. But when no one knows

  • The Billionaire's Ex is My Twin   TWENTY SIX | Hadley

    Matthew: Good morning, Harp.It’s literally two normal words and a nickname meant for someone else. I shouldn’t react to it. I shouldn’t get butterflies but my stupid body acts like he whispered it against my collarbone.Matthew: I know a place with good coffee, books and no paparazzi. You’ll like it. You and me later?How do I say no to that?How do I say no to him?Matthew: Say something, baby. Anything. Unless you’re still mad I didn’t fuck you last night. In which case, let me fix that.”I squeeze my eyes shut.Fuck. Why does he do this to me?Why does he make it so hard not fall?Matthew: We could run away. Fake our deaths. Start over in Portugal with new names and a goat farm.A breath catches in my throat.He’s probably joking.But that’s everything I want. Start over with no unforgivable lies. Where he’s not my twin’s ex-fiancé, and I’m not pretending to be her.Matthew: Are you okay, H?No.I’m not.I’m the opposite of okay.I stare at the screen, my thumbs useless. A dozen a

  • The Billionaire's Ex is My Twin   TWENTY FIVE | Matthew

    “You think this is love?”“I think it’s none of your fucking business.”“It becomes my business when you drag the family name through the mud.”I let out a sharp and humorless laugh. “Family name? You and mom did that years ago. I’m just maintaining the tradition. But yeah, I’m sure Harper’s the real problem.”His eyes flash. “Your mother’s choices have nothing to do with this.”“Everything about me comes from you two.” I fire back. “You can tell mom I lived up to the expectations.”He exhales through his nose, the way he does when he’s seconds from losing control. “Your so called mother walked out on you, the same way this girl will. Just like she did before. History repeats when you refuse to learn. Open your eyes before she ruins everything you’ve built, son.”“Then let her,” I say quietly. “If she ruins the things that never made me happy maybe I owe her a thank you.”David stares at me like I have made a decision that will rattle through the family tree. “You let your dick make d
