ELENA

I looked at Lily.

Then at Vivienne.

Finally, I turned towards Nathaniel.

Nobody seemed willing to explain what was happening.

“Who is my father?”

Nathaniel stood slowly.

“Elena, please sit down.”

I laughed.

“Have you lost your mind? You want me to sit down?”

“You’re going to need to hear this properly.”

“Then speak!”

Lily approached the coffee table and placed the photograph beside the recording device.

It showed Margaret holding a newborn b

  • The Figure in The Mirror   The Twin Who Never Died

    CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: THE TWIN WHO NEVER DIEDELENA“You’re Lily’s twin?”Eleanor stood at the bottom of the staircase, looking at us with an expression I couldn’t quite understand.Lily hadn’t moved.She was staring at Eleanor as though the woman had just announced that the world was ending.“That’s impossible,” Lily whispered.Eleanor smiled sadly.“That’s what they told me too.”Lily shook her head.“No. My mother told me my twin died.”“Your mother was told I died.”Margaret covered her face.I looked between them.“Can somebody explain how this happened?”Eleanor descended the remaining steps.“When Lily and I were born, Robert wanted to take both of us. He believed we had inherited certain traits from him. Margaret refused.”My mother nodded.“Robert was becoming dangerous. I knew he would never allow me to raise you both in peace.”Eleanor looked at her.“So you gave one of us away.”“I didn’t have a choice.”“You always had a choice, Mother.”Margaret began crying.Lily finally

I think she deserves to know.”I looked at Daniel.“Am I your biological daughter?”He didn’t answer.I stepped backwards.“Answer me!”“Yes.”The word came out quietly.I shook my head.“No.”Daniel’s eyes filled.“You’re my daughter, Elena.”I felt the air leave my lungs.“But Margaret said…”“Margaret was told something different.”I turned towards the doorway.My mother

  • The Figure in The Mirror   The Name She Stole

    CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: THE NAME SHE STOLEELENA“Daniel, don’t.”My mother’s voice cut through the room.I turned.Daniel had pulled a gun from inside his jacket.He wasn’t pointing it at me.He was pointing it at Eleanor.For several seconds, nobody moved.Eleanor looked at the weapon and laughed.“Really? After all these years, this is how you intend to end the conversation?”“Put the photograph down.”She glanced at the picture in her hand.“This one?”Daniel’s jaw tightened.“Now.”Eleanor slowly placed it on the table.But she didn’t look frightened.That was what unsettled me most.She looked almost amused.“You’re making a mistake,” she said.Daniel raised the gun slightly.“Don’t test me.”I moved towards my mother.“What’s happening?”Margaret grabbed my hand.“Stay behind me.”I stared at her.“Why does Eleanor keep saying I was given her name?”She didn’t answer.“Mother.”Her eyes filled with tears.“Because Elena wasn’t the name you were given when you were born.”I felt my s

    CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: THE FOURTH DAUGHTERELENA“Finally. All four of you are together.”The voice came from upstairs.I froze.Nobody moved.My mother looked as though she had just seen a ghost. Vivienne stood beside the staircase, her fingers gripping the railing so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.Daniel, however, looked angry.Not surprised.Angry.“Who is that?” I whispered.Margaret shook her head.“Nobody you should be speaking to.”I turned towards her.“Stop doing that.”“Elena…”“Stop deciding what I should know! You tell me there were four babies, that one of them died, and now somebody is standing upstairs claiming we’re finally together. I want answers!”A slow clap interrupted me.We all turned.A man appeared at the top of the staircase.He was wearing a dark suit, and his expression carried an unsettling familiarity.I recognised him.Dr. Samuel Hayes.The family physician who had treated me throughout my childhood.The man who had attended Daniel’s birthday
