Daphne's POV

Oliver rose from his seat behind the desk, to signal the end of our conversation.

“I assume you've understood everything I just said. Like I said earlier, you'll get a prepared document of everything we discussed here. Don't make a mistake. The timing is very short, just for few months. Any questions?”

Silence…

I had a question to ask, but I wasn't sure if how he'd respond to it.

“In the absence of questions, you should…”

“No, hold on..!” I sprang from my seat immediately, grabbing his arm to prevent him from walking away.

Immediately, His gaze turned to me, cold and glaring and he stiffened,

“Did I forget to mention? I dislike any form of physical touch. Not from you, or anyone. Don't cross your boundaries again.”

This man has got to be a stupid fellow. What does he mean by that?

I dropped his hand abruptly, and he used his other palm to brush down his cloth. In a bid to brush off my touch.

Tch!

“Well, when can I get to see my mum? I need to be sure that she is recuper

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 120

    Christine's POV I have never liked being told what to do. Especially not by Oliver. Especially not when it comes to her.When my phone rang earlier that evening, I had expected it to be one of my friends asking about the little “press visit” I arranged. I hadn’t anticipated Oliver’s voice—low, sharp, and cold as ice—ordering me to leave Daphne alone. The way he spoke, it wasn’t even like the Oliver I knew; it was like some stranger had taken over, ready to defend that woman to the last breath.It burned me inside.I had been trying to protect him. To protect our family name. He didn’t seem to understand that bringing reporters to their house was for his own good. People needed to see what kind of person Daphne really was—how she handled herself under pressure. I thought maybe, just maybe, if they caught her off guard, they would see through her perfect little act.But now, all my efforts were being twisted into something ugly.I sat on my bed, the phone still in my hand, hearing his

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 119: Lines drawn

    Oliver's POV The day had been long enough without me coming home to another problem. My meetings had dragged on, investors had been restless, and the subtle hum of tension in the office followed me like a shadow. All I wanted when I stepped out of the car was peace—just a quiet evening with my wife.The moment I walked into the house, I could feel it—an undercurrent of unease. Daphne was sitting on the couch, legs tucked under her, her hands curled into fists in her lap. She looked like she’d been holding something in all day, waiting for me."Oliver," she began as soon as I walked in. No soft greetings. No smile. Just my name, clipped, heavy.I loosened my tie and set my briefcase down, instantly on alert. “What happened?”She hesitated for half a second, as though debating whether to unload it on me right away, but then the words came in a rush. “Christine came here today. And she wasn’t alone—she brought reporters. To our home.”I froze mid-motion. “Reporters?”“Yes. Cameras. Micr

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 118: Cutting ties

    Daphne's POV I was pacing my room like a caged animal, my ankle still tender but my mind far too restless to care. The more I thought about what happened earlier, the more my chest felt tight. The reporters… the way they just showed up, hounding me with their flashing cameras and eager questions—it all pointed to one thing. Someone had sent them. And I already had a strong feeling who it was.Christine.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. The woman had been trying to insert herself into my life since the moment I stepped into Oliver’s world. Acting like she was helping, acting like she had my back, but every time, somehow, trouble seemed to follow her visits.I snatched my phone from the bed, my hand trembling with anger. My thumb hovered over her contact for a second before I pressed “Call.” It rang twice before her cheerful, annoyingly sweet voice came on.“Daphne! Oh, finally, you called me back. I was wondering when—”“Christine,” I cut in sharply, my voice low b

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 117

    Daphne's POV I slammed the door to my room and leaned heavily against it, my breaths shallow and rapid. My chest felt tight, as though the air had been punched out of me, and my entire body trembled with a chill I couldn’t shake off. My skin was clammy with sweat. The image refused to leave my mind—Daisy. Moving.My identical twin, hooked to machines and buried beneath time and silence…had moved.I closed my eyes and tried to steady myself, but the horror wouldn't subside. Her fingers had twitched. Her eyes… her eyelids had fluttered like butterfly wings. I wasn’t hallucinating. I saw it.A strange mix of emotions washed over me—fear, shock, guilt, confusion, and somewhere deep beneath it all, a dangerous glimmer of hope. Was she really waking up? Was she… coming back?The knock on the door startled me. I jumped, clutching my chest. The phone on the bedside table buzzed at the same time, the vibration echoing in my already erratic heart. I staggered to it and saw Oliver's name lighti

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 116: The breaking point

    Daphne's POV The moment I stepped back into the house after facing the reporters, I felt like my knees were about to buckle under me.I wasn’t ready for any of that.Their flashing cameras, their voices shouting questions all at once, their eyes full of curiosity, pressure, and judgment—it was too much. It reminded me that I was living someone else’s life, standing in shoes that weren’t meant for me.My heart was still beating fast. I tried to calm down, placing my hand over my chest, but it didn’t help much. My ankle still hurt from the previous injury, and I could feel it getting sore again.As I rushed inside, trying to escape the overwhelming emotions, I didn’t notice the slight step at the entrance. My foot caught it. In a second, I lost my balance and fell hard onto the floor."Agh!" I gasped.Pain shot up my leg, and I felt tears sting my eyes. I stayed there for a moment, not moving, not even trying to get up.I’d been trying to be strong for so long. Trying to be Daisy. Tryi

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 115

    Daphne's POV That morning, I woke up in Oliver’s arms, the soft sunlight creeping in through the curtains. My ankle still hurt, but there was something comforting about being close to him like this. He had barely slept, constantly checking if I was okay. His tenderness, the way he held me close all night—it made my heart ache in a different way. I hated that he had to worry about me.We were still tangled in the sheets when we heard a soft knock on the door. Before we could answer, Brittany pushed it open gently and stepped inside. She looked slightly out of breath, as if she had hurried to get here.“Christine left just a few minutes ago,” she began, her voice laced with suspicion. “But something’s off.”I blinked, rubbing my eyes as I slowly sat up. “What do you mean?”Brittany stepped closer. “I caught her last night… sneaking back in around midnight. She said she was coming from downstairs to get some air, but she looked nervous.”My heart skipped. “I told you she didn’t come her
