Crystal's POV

Crystal stood at the threshold of the dining room, her hand resting on the doorframe for support.

Inside, candles flickered on the long mahogany table, casting dancing shadows on the walls.

Sultan sat at the head, his face covered in satisfaction. Amir stood beside him, pouring champagne into crystal flutes that caught the light like trapped stars.

"There she is," Sultan announced, his voice booming across the room, filling every corner with forced joy. "The mother of my

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Twin    Breaking points

    Ahmad's POV Ahmad sat across from Rebecca in an upscale London restaurant, watching her lips move without really hearing the words. She was attractive. Blonde, sharp and successful in finance. Exactly the kind of woman his London colleagues thought he should be dating."So after the merger collapsed, I moved to derivatives trading," Rebecca was saying, sipping her wine. "Much more exciting than equities. Don't you think?""Mm-hmm," Ahmad responded, pushing food around his plate.Rebecca set down her glass, her smile fading. "You haven't heard a word I've said, have you?""I'm sorry. You're right. I'm distracted." Ahmad set down his fork. "This was a mistake. I shouldn't have agreed to this.""Let me guess. Recently out of a relationship?" Rebecca's tone was sympathetic rather than accusatory."Something like that.""How recent?""Three weeks." Ahmad signaled for the check. "I apologize for wasting your evening.""You didn't waste it. I've had worse dates." Rebecca studied him. "Whoe

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Twin    Ocean Apart

    Ahmad's POV Ahmad stood in his new London apartment, staring out at the Thames winding through the city like a gray ribbon. Rain streaked the windows, typical cold and relentless British weather. Nothing like Dubai's harsh sun and endless blue skies.His phone buzzed with a message from the London office manager: “Welcome to London, Mr. Al-Fayad. Team meeting tomorrow at 9 AM. Looking forward to working with you.”Ahmad typed a brief acknowledgment and set the phone down. The apartment was modern, minimalist and empty. Boxes lined the walls. His entire life was reduced to cardboard containers waiting to be unpacked.He should be unpacking, settling in, preparing for tomorrow's meeting and embracing this fresh start Sultan had forced on him.Instead, he poured whiskey from the bottle he'd packed in his carry-on and stood at the window watching rain.His mind was five thousand miles away, in a mansion's east wing, with a woman who was learning to live without him.The whiskey burned

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Twin    Depatures

    Crystal's POV Crystal sat in the library, surrounded by textbooks she hadn't touched in years. Marketing Strategy in the Digital Age, Financial Management Fundamentals, Corporate Acquisitions and Mergers. The words on the pages felt foreign and familiar all at once, like a language she'd once spoken fluently but had forgotten."You're studying," Amelia said from the doorway, balancing a tray with tea and crackers."Relearning," Crystal corrected, looking up from a chapter on hostile takeovers. The irony wasn't lost on her. "I was a marketing student before everything happened. Before I got married to Amir and before all of this.""You never finished your degree?""I was in my final year when I got married and besides." Crystal closed the book, her hand resting on the cover. "But I'm five months pregnant now. I can't change my past, but I can prepare for my future. This baby will need a mother who can think and plan. Someone who understands how the world works.""Mr. Amir won't like

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Twin    Parallel Healings

    Crystal's POV Crystal sat across from Dr. Yasmin, her new therapist, in a small office that smelled like lavender and old books. Fatima waited outside, giving them privacy that felt both liberating and terrifying."Tell me about your week," Dr. Yasmin said, her pen poised over a notepad but her eyes focused entirely on Crystal."I walked in the gardens every day, I ate three meals daily and I saw my best friend." Crystal counted the victories on her fingers like precious coins. "I took my vitamins without Fatima reminding me.""Those are significant accomplishments. How did they feel?""Hard. Every single one felt hard." Crystal's hand moved to her stomach, a gesture that was becoming automatic. "But less hard than dying felt.""Good. That's honest." Dr. Yasmin set down her pen. "Crystal, I want to talk about the father of your baby."Crystal's chest tightened. "What about him?""You've mentioned your husband several times. But you haven't talked about your feelings regarding him or

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Twin    Choosing Life

    Crystal's POV Crystal woke in the hospital for the seventh morning, sunlight streaming through blinds that divided the world into strips of light and shadow. A psychiatrist with the name tag - Dr. Nadia,sat beside her bed with kind eyes and a clipboard full of observations."How are you feeling today, Crystal?" Dr. Nadia asked, her voice gentle but probing."Better," Crystal said, and for the first time in weeks, it wasn't entirely a lie."Better is good. Better is progress." Dr. Nadia made a note. "You've been eating consistently for three days. Sleeping without medication for two. The baby's vitals are strong."Crystal's hand moved to her stomach, where the baby kicked with increasing frequency. "The baby is fine. I made sure of that.""But you weren't fine. And the baby needs a healthy mother, not just a living one." Dr. Nadia leaned forward. "Crystal, I want to discharge you today. But I need to know, are you ready to go back?""To the mansion?""To your life. To the situation t

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Twin    The final Descent

    Ahmad's POV Ahmad sat in his nearly empty quarters, surrounded by boxes labeled "London." He had two weeks left in Dubai. Two weeks until he left the mansion and left Crystal behind in a cage he couldn't unlock.His phone buzzed with a reminder: "London flight. 12 days."He poured whiskey into a glass, not bothering with ice. The amber liquid burned going down, but the pain was welcome. At least it was something he could feel besides this numbness.A knock on his door. Ahmad ignored it.Another knock, more insistent. "Mr. Ahmad? It's Amelia."Ahmad debated pretending he wasn't there, but finally stood and opened the door. Amelia looked worried, her hands twisting in her apron."I need to talk to you about Mrs. Crystal," she said, glancing down the hallway nervously."I can't help her. I tried. She doesn't want my help." Ahmad started to close the door."Wait. Please." Amelia put her hand against the door. "She's getting worse. Much worse. She barely eats, barely speaks. Yesterday sh
