No, there must be a mistake somewhere.

“Umm... Mister,” the boy said coldly, his eyes sharp and unreadable, “Stop calling me Phyl and don’t ever speak to my sister again.”

I froze as I stared at him, trying to make sense of what I just heard.

His voice… his face… even the way he frowned... it was all Phyl, my son. Yet, he stood there like a complete stranger, talking to me like I was nothing but a nuisance.

He turned to Lily and gave her a hard stare. “I thought I warned you not to talk to strangers?”

Lily immediately lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Lucas. I just…”

Lucas? Am I going insane?

"God, Something is wrong,” I muttered under my breath. “This can’t be real.”

I reached out gently, wanting to touch him, just to feel his skin, to convince myself I wasn’t going insane.

But he slapped my hand away with so much force I stumbled back. Then, he stepped in front of Lily protectively, shielding her.

“Don’t you dare try to touch me,” he said, his voice cold, calm… commanding. “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

    Emily I walked slowly toward the parking lot after breakfast, my heels clicking softly against the pavement. The morning air felt heavy, pressing down on me like the weight of yesterday’s encounter. Lucas’s concerned eyes and Lily’s quiet questions still echoed in my head, but I brushed them aside with a weak smile. I couldn’t let them see me fall apart. Not yet.The driver opened the car door and bowed slightly. I forced a nod, sliding into the backseat. The ride to the office blurred by in silence. My phone, tucked deep in my bag, remained off. I am not ready to take any calls now.When we arrived, I stepped out and straightened my jacket, trying to wear confidence like armor. The employees at the entrance greeted me with polite bows and bright smiles. I returned a nod, but inside, I was miles away.Without wasting time, I walked straight to the conference room. The moment I entered, chatter hushed and all eyes turned toward me. I forced a small smile and took my seat at the head

    Lily I walked out of Mommy’s room, closing the door gently behind me. My chest felt heavy. She said she was tired, that we would talk tomorrow, but I knew she was just avoiding me. Mommy never lies to me, at least not in a way I can see, but tonight, her eyes couldn’t meet mine.I bit my lip as I went down the hall. I couldn’t sleep like this. That man at the mall… the way he looked at me and Lucas… it was strange. Almost like he knew us. And when he asked Mommy if we were his children, I swear I saw her flinch.I need to know the truth.Quietly, I tiptoed down the hallway toward Lucas’s room. My brother always has this way of knowing things, even when no one told him. If anyone could figure this out with me, it is him.I knocked lightly before pushing the door open. Lucas was sitting on his bed, staring at the ceiling like he was lost in his own thoughts.“Lucas,” I whispered, closing the door behind me.He sat up immediately, his eyes sharp, almost as if he had been expecting me.
