Emily

I stared at my phone long after the call ended as Alex’s voice still lingered in my ears.

Truth is, I didn't plan to call him at all. I fought with myself for hours. But when I remembered his conversation with his son during one of our meetings and the panic in his eyes, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Something in his tone, the way he cared, the way the boy’s voice trembled… it stirred something inside me. That was why I fought against my better judgment and called him.

I sigh heavily as I set my phone down on the table, pushing away the lingering warmth in my chest.

I picked up my fork again and forced myself to finish the rest of my lunch. Each bite felt heavy, my mind replaying that small smile I heard in Alex’s voice when he realized it was me.

Just then, Rose walked in quietly, her presence snapping me back to reality. She cleared the plates without a word, her usual grace filling the room. I gave her a faint smile, though my thoughts were still miles away.

    AlexI woke up with a pounding headache, the kind that comes after a night of fighting sleep and losing. Groaning as I sat up, holding my head. Sleep has mocked me all night, slipping further away each time I closed my eyes. My thoughts were haunted by Emily's face and the twins, that I believe so much that they were mine.My gaze shifted to the laptop still open on my desk. Her pictures stared back at me, frozen moments that tore me apart. I smiled bitterly, my chest tightening with regret. If I hadn’t been so quick to make that harsh decision six years ago, if I had just asked, just searched for the truth, things would have been different. Emily and I would probably be together now… with our children by now.Fred’s words echoed in my head. I remembered how he told me during the investigation that Emily never remarried after our divorce. And that meant only one thing: she must have been pregnant with the twins when she left me. God, I wasn't there when my children were born and I

    VanessaI didn’t bother to knock again; I shoved the door open, fury burning through me.“Phil!” I snapped, but then froze when I saw him standing by the window, phone still in hand.He turned casually, like he had been expecting me.“Who were you calling, Phil?” I demanded, my voice trembling with suspicion.A small, tired smile tugged at his lips. He ran a hand lazily through his hair and said, almost mockingly, “My friend or do I say, my brother?"I blinked in shock. “What nonsense are you talking about? You don’t have any brothers; I gave birth to only you!”His smile deepened into something sharp, cutting. He slipped his free hand into his pocket and leaned back like a king on his throne. “That’s because you are not my mother. And I am not Phil.”For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. His words crashed into me like thunder.“What rubbish are you saying?” I hissed.He tilted his head, eyes cold, calm, merciless. “My name is Lucas. And the person I was speaking to… was your son, Phil.”

    VanessaI grabbed Natasha’s wrist before she could turn away, my voice shaking but firm. “Natasha, please… You have to alter the results for me.”Her eyes widened in shock, and she yanked her hand back. “No, Ma! Don’t even say that. I can do anything else for you, but not this. I still regret what I did six years ago. Please, don’t drag me into something like that again.”I frowned, my heat rising in my chest. “Regret? Don’t tell me that. Didn’t I pay you well back then? Didn’t I cover your tracks so you and your family could live like humans? Why are you acting like you haven’t done worse before?”“Keep your voice down!” Natasha hissed, glancing around nervously. The hospital hallway suddenly felt too crowded, even though no one was paying attention to us.“Still,” she whispered, shaking her head firmly. “I can’t do it this time, my conscience won't stop judging me.”"Conscience?" I scuff.My chest tightened with panic. I stepped closer, lowering my voice, my eyes burning with despe

    VanessaI pulled the hood of my jacket lower, slipping into the hospital quietly like a thief, trying not to draw any attention. My heart was beating fast, each step echoing louder than it should.God, why am I even here?Well, I am here because Natasha, my friend who is a nurse in this hospital, called me this morning and said she saw Phil here. I was surprised because Phil didn't tell me he was leaving the house, and that was strange, but then she said he wasn't alone and that made me more confused.According to her, he was with a boy who looked exactly like him.I almost laughed when she said it. Who else could look like Phil except… his other twin? Emily’s son.But I knew that would never happen. It's impossible because, from my sources, Emily’s children were far away in Singapore, and there is no way they would ever cross paths. Natasha must have been mistaken. Yet, the certainty in her voice shook me so badly that I couldn’t sit still. So, I decided to come see for myself.No

    LucasI woke up earlier than usual, my heart already racing with the weight of everything on my mind. I dragged myself to the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face to wash away the exhaustion. The mirror reflected the faint bruises on my cheek, still sore when my fingers brushed against them. I quickly freshened up, brushed my teeth, and dressed neatly in a simple shirt and jeans. Today is the day I am going to meet Phil at the hospital, where we will do the DNA test.Grabbing my phone, I dialed his number. He picked up almost immediately.“Phil, are you ready for our meeting point? I’m about to leave the house,” I said, lowering my voice.“I’m about to leave, too,” he replied. “I already told the guards this morning. Don’t worry, they will bring me.”“Good,” I said, a faint smile tugging my lips. “We will see each other soon.”We talked for a little while longer... small things, just to keep our minds steady before hanging up.I headed downstairs, and as soon as my feet touched
