The handover went more smoothly than any of the others.

Julian came through the supervised center door with his toy cars in his hands, already talking about something that had happened the day before. He was halfway through his story before he even reached Bella.

She pulled him into a hug and held him for a few seconds, her face resting against his hair. Julian stayed still and let her, looking like he had already accepted that this part was unavoidable.

  • The Billionaire's Rejected Twins   Chapter 78

    Priya sent the final draft at eight-fifteen on Wednesday morning.Bella sat at the kitchen counter with Carlos across from her. They both read through their copies at the same time.The article was longer than the first one, about four thousand words. It went through how the original story about Bella had been spread, who helped push it, and how Angela had been involved in the middle of it all.The communications consultant had agreed to be named in the article. Their account was detailed. They described the meeting, the money they were offered, the material they were given to spread, and how Angela Reeves was the person they worked with.Priya had also checked their account against what happened during the first two hours after the original story was published. The timing matched.The evidence was all there, and it was hard to explain away."She used her own name," Bella said, staring at the page. She still couldn't believe Angela had been that careless."She thought she was protecte

    The handover went more smoothly than any of the others.Julian came through the supervised center door with his toy cars in his hands, already talking about something that had happened the day before. He was halfway through his story before he even reached Bella.She pulled him into a hug and held him for a few seconds, her face resting against his hair. Julian stayed still and let her, looking like he had already accepted that this part was unavoidable.Selena followed a few steps behind him and went straight to Bella's side. Bella put an arm around each of them and held them close for a moment.Lorenzo was standing near the entrance, his jacket already on. He watched quietly, giving them space without looking completely detached.The supervisor was still helping Julian find the car he'd been insisting was missing from his bag, even though it was sitting in his pocket.Lorenzo walked over to Bella."I've been following the coverage," he said. His voice was low, without trying to make

    Carlos's contact reached Janet in Harlow at twelve-forty. A man named Lucas had driven out from the city as soon as Carlos called him. He'd confirmed Janet's address on the way and made it there within thirty minutes. Janet opened the door before he could knock twice. She still had her phone in one hand, and a notepad was already open on the kitchen table. "I've written down everything I remember," she said. "Margaret told me not to leave anything out." Lucas stood at the table and read through the notes. There were four handwritten pages. Janet had circled the most important details in another pen, including the caller's exact words about consequences, her address, her daughter's school, and the final warning about Margaret needing to think carefully. "This is good," Lucas said. "You did the right thing writing everything down." Janet looked at him from across the table. "Will it actually help?" "It will." Lucas pulled out a chair and sat down. "The caller knew your daug

    The article went live at seven a.m.Bella read it at the kitchen counter, her coffee slowly going cold beside the laptop. Priya had kept the article straightforward. No dramatic language or exaggerated claims, just the facts laid out clearly, with Margaret's notes compared against the official medical account.The differences were hard to ignore.The headline was simple. "New Evidence Raises Questions About The Death of Bella Moreau's Mother"By seven-twenty, it had already been shared four hundred times.Carlos came in at seven-thirty and leaned over her shoulder to read the article. He didn't say anything at first. Bella watched his face as he went through it, but he stayed calm until he reached the part about the mark across her mother's cheek.His jaw tightened.He kept reading."It's accurate," Bella said. "Everything Priya wrote is accurate."Carlos straightened. "Yeah and that's going to make it a lot harder for them to dismiss."Bella looked at the share count. Six hundred now

    They arrived at eight-forty.Dr. Ajayi had arranged the meeting in a private conference room at a law firm. It was quiet and neutral, far enough from a police station or courtroom to keep things from feeling more intimidating than they already were.Bella walked in first and took a quick look around. Table, chairs, recorder and water. Everything was exactly where it should be. Nothing felt out of place.Carlos stayed near the entrance, close enough to step in if she needed him.Margaret arrived at eight fifty-eight, still wearing her coat and carrying the same folder she'd brought to their first meeting.She greeted Dr. Ajayi with a quick handshake, nodded to Carlos, then took the seat across from Bella."How are you feeling?" Bella asked.Margaret gave her a small nod. "Nervous. But I know I need to do this."Dr. Ajayi placed the recorder on the table and confirmed the date and time for the record. He checked that Margaret was comfortable with everything before looking at her."Okay,

    The second handover wasn't exactly easier. It was just different.This time, Bella knew what to expect. Julian would probably try to unclip his seatbelt before the car had fully stopped, while Selena would wait quietly until someone told her it was okay to get out.She'd also learned that crouching down to say goodbye worked better than standing over them. And instead of telling them how much she'd miss them, she gave them something they could understand."I'll be here at five on Monday."They didn't need a long goodbye. They just needed to know when she'd be back.She stood at the entrance of the supervised center and watched the twins disappear through the door. The first time, she'd stood there for almost half a minute after they were gone, unable to make herself leave.This time, she didn't.Carlos was already in the driver's seat. He glanced at her when she got in, but he didn't say anything.She was grateful for that. There wasn't really anything to say.On the drive home, Bella

    Bella’s fists clenched under the tablecloth until her nails bit into her palms. The room buzzed with a family gathering, lights glittering off crystal glasses and gold-rimmed plates, but the air felt suffocating. Alex Seneca, her father, the man who commanded boardrooms and headlines, leaned back

    Bella sat on the edge of her bed, her mind racing.She didn’t stay long enough to reflect. She pushed herself up almost immediately, pacing a few steps before stopping again. Her fingers drummed against her thigh, restless, as she tried to think of something, anything that could help her.She pulle

    Bella remained in the study, still standing there long after the door had closed.She couldn’t believe what her father had just said. The words kept replaying in her mind. Her chest felt tight, like the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving something heavy and suffocating behind.Evelyn was

  • The Billionaire's Rejected Twins   Chapter 4

    Bella stepped inside her father’s mansion after the long, quiet drive. The heavy door clicked shut behind her, the sound echoing through the grand foyer.The staff moved around her with exaggerated care, heads slightly lowered, footsteps softer than usual, eyes flicking away the moment they landed
