Oliver's POV

The celebration for Daphne’s win as prima ballerina stretched late, the living room warm with wine and laughter. Daphne’s smile lit up the night, and I couldn’t stop watching her, proud of how far she’d come. Brittany had gone to bed with the twins, and after one last kiss, Daphne and I parted ways, my heart full.

I went to my room, thinking I’d sleep easy for once, but a scream shattered that hope. It was Daphne, her voice high and panicked, echoing through the manor. “She’s gone! Daisy’s gone!” she yelled, and my stomach dropped.

I bolted out of bed, pulling on my pajama pants, my heart racing as I ran downstairs. Daphne was in the main hall, collapsed against the wall, her face pale, tears streaming down her cheeks. She was shaking, her hands clutching her knees, and the sight of her fear hit me hard. I rushed to her, kneeling in front of her. “Daphne, what’s wrong?” I asked, my voice tight with worry.

She looked up, her eyes wide. “The east wing, Oliver. Daisy’s room

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 174

    Daphne's POV The celebration went late into the night, the living room at Willowbrook filled with laughter and the clink of wine glasses. Oliver’s arm was around me, his warmth keeping me grounded as we talked and joked with Brittany, the twins long asleep upstairs.The thrill of winning the prima ballerina role still hummed in my chest, but as the clock passed midnight, the house grew quiet. Brittany yawned, saying she’d check on the twins and head to bed, leaving Oliver and me alone. We shared one last glass of wine, his hand squeezing mine, his eyes soft with pride.“You’re going to be amazing at the gala,” he said, kissing me gently before we parted for the night.I went to my room, but sleep wouldn’t come. My mind kept circling back to Daisy. Her comatose body was in the east wing, locked behind those iron gates, a place I’d visited countless times when I first came to Willowbrook as the governess.I’d seen her there, wired to machines, her chest rising and falling with the rhyt

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 173

    Daphne's POV The green room felt too small to hold my joy after Ms. Hargrove announced I’d won the prima ballerina role. My heart was still racing, my hands trembling as I untied my pointe shoes and slipped into my sneakers.Joan had left with a curt nod, her face tight, but I didn’t care. I’d done it. I was going to dance Odette in *Swan Lake* at the gala in five days. The thought made my chest feel full, like I could breathe deeper than I had in weeks. I grabbed my phone, my fingers itching to call Oliver, to hear his voice and share this moment. He’d promised to pick me up, and I knew he’d be waiting outside, probably as nervous as I’d been.I slung my ballet bag over my shoulder and walked out of the theater, the cool evening air hitting my face. The parking lot was quiet, just a few cars under the streetlights, and there was Oliver, leaning against his black sedan, his hands in his pockets.He looked up as I approached, his hazel eyes catching the light, and a grin spread acros

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 172: Contest Day

    Daphne's POV The morning of the prima ballerina contest announcement hit me hard, my stomach in knots as I stood in the theater’s green room, surrounded by the buzz of nervous chatter and the faint smell of hairspray. I hadn’t slept much, my mind stuck on dance steps and Joan’s smug glances from rehearsals.The gala was six days away, and today the director would name the two dancers competing for the lead in Swan Lake. I wanted it so badly it hurt, but doubt crept in, telling me I couldn’t match Joan’s flawless technique or her years in the company.I adjusted my leotard, smoothing it over my hips, and checked my reflection in the smudged mirror. My dark hair was pulled into a tight bun, my face pale under the harsh lights, but my eyes showed determination. I tied my pointe shoes, the satin ribbons familiar under my fingers, and took a deep breath. This was my chance to prove myself.I thought of Oliver, his calm voice at dinner last night, saying I was meant for this. I thought of

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 171: Back to Routines

    Daphne's POV The past few days had been a blur. Between discovering my roots, confronting Hillary, and the storm of emotions that followed, I barely had time to breathe. Yet, somehow, life was still moving forward, dragging me along with it. The ballet contest loomed ahead, just a week away, and I couldn’t afford to fall apart now. Not when everything seemed to hang on this performance.This morning, I stood alone in the rehearsal room Oliver had helped transform for me, staring at my reflection in the wide mirror. The wooden floors gleamed under the light, but my face told a different story—dark circles under my eyes, shoulders slumped with exhaustion. Still, I tied the satin ribbons of my pointe shoes tighter, determined to push through.The music began, soft at first, then swelling, and I let my body move. Every pirouette, every plié, every leap was heavier than the last. My legs ached, my muscles screamed, but I refused to stop. Sweat trickled down my back, stinging my skin, but

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 170: Taking her away

    Xavier's POV I was sitting on the verandah that evening, just letting my mind wander, when Christine joined me. She didn’t waste time before speaking.“Clara called,” she said. “She told me Oliver and the Andersons left the house this morning and haven’t been back since. She doesn’t know where they went.”I acted like it didn’t matter. “Maybe they just needed space. They’ve had too much drama lately.”Christine leaned closer, watching me carefully. “Or maybe they’re hiding something.”I didn’t answer right away. But in my mind, something clicked. If Oliver and the Andersons were all gone, then the forbidden building was empty. Daisy’s body was unguarded. This could be my chance.I set my glass aside and looked at Christine. “Tell Clara to leave the back door open tonight. Don’t ask questions. Just do it.”She frowned. “Why? Where are you going?”“Just trust me,” I said. That was all she was going to get from me.After a moment, she nodded and went inside to make the call. I stood up
