Xavier's POV

After Dr. Ellis left the cottage, I stood by Daisy’s bed, watching her breathe, the IV line dripping steadily. The doctor had confirmed she was stable, but his words about her maybe never waking up lingered in my mind. I pushed them away.

She’d wake up, and I’d be there when she did. For now, I needed to make sure she was safe while I went back to Christine. I hadn’t seen my wife in three days, and I knew she’d have questions. I wasn’t ready to tell her the truth, not yet.

I called two of my men, Lucas and Gabe, who’d helped me move Daisy from Willowbrook. They were loyal, discreet, and didn’t ask too much. They arrived within the hour, pulling up in a black van, their faces blank as they stepped into the cottage. I met them in the living room, keeping my voice low so Daisy wouldn’t be disturbed, even if she couldn’t hear me.

“You two stay here,” I said, pointing toward the bedroom. “She’s stable, but you need to watch her. Check the IV every few hours, make sure it’s no

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 180

    Xavier's POVI cursed under my breath. Clara. I’d forgotten about her, I ran a hand through my hair, trying to stay calm. “Okay, fine,” I said, my voice low. “I took Daisy. I moved her from Willowbrook.”Christine’s eyes widened, her face paling. “You what? You took her body? Xavier, why would you do that? Do you want to implicate u? And why didn’t you tell me? I’m your wife!"I stepped toward her, my hands out, trying to calm her down. “I’m sorry, Christine. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you involved this time around. It’s complicated, and I was trying to protect you.”“Protect me?” she snapped, stepping back. “You lied to me! You said you were on a business trip, but you were stealing my cousin’s body! How could you hide something like that from me? And your reason is ridiculous. You and I know that I don't need any form of protection from you."I took a deep breath, my chest tight. “I didn’t want to worry you. Daisy was just lying there, forgotten in that room. Oliver wa

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 178

    Xavier's POV The cottage felt smaller each day, the walls closing in as I waited for Daisy to show any sign of waking. It had been two days since I brought her here, away from Willowbrook Manor, away from Oliver and his new life with Daphne.The river outside was steady, its soft rush the only sound breaking the quiet. I sat by Daisy’s bed, watching her chest rise and fall, the IV line dripping into her arm. She hadn’t moved, hadn’t opened her eyes, but I refused to give up. She was in there, somewhere, and I’d bring her back.I checked my phone for the time. Dr. Ellis was due any minute for her first full check-up since I’d moved her. I’d found him through a contact who knew how to keep things quiet, someone who wouldn’t ask why I had a comatose woman in a riverside cottage.My hands were steady as I adjusted the blanket over Daisy, but my stomach was tight. I needed her to be okay, needed to know I’d done the right thing taking her from that sterile room in the manor.A knock came

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 177

    Daphne's POV The morning after finding Daisy’s room empty, I woke up feeling heavy, like the panic from last night had settled into my bones. My knee still ached from falling on the stairs, and my eyes were puffy from crying.The gala was five days away, and I was supposed to be at the ballet theater for rehearsal, but all I wanted was to stay in bed, to hide from the questions swirling in my head.Where was Daisy? What had happened to her body? I’d seen her so many times in that east wing room, hooked up to machines, her face still and pale. Now she was gone, and the thought of her parents’ grief—Margaret’s sobs, Thomas’s hard stare—kept me frozen under the covers.I heard a knock, and Oliver stepped into my room, already dressed, his face tired but calm. He sat on the edge of my bed, his hand resting on mine. “You okay?” he asked, his voice gentle but firm.I shook my head, staring at the ceiling. “I can’t go to rehearsal, Oliver. Not after last night. What if Daisy’s really gone?

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 176: The Cottage

    Xavier's POV The cottage by the river was quiet, the kind of quiet that made every creak of the floorboards loud in my ears. I carried Daisy inside, her body limp in my arms, her breathing shallow but steady. The accident had left her this way, unconscious, a shell of the woman she’d been. I laid her gently on the bed in the small bedroom, the mattress creaking under her weight. The room was plain, just a bed, a table, and a single window overlooking the river, but it was enough. It had to be. This was where I’d keep her safe, away from Oliver, away from the life that had hurt her.I’d found her in the east wing of Willowbrook Manor, hooked up to machines, forgotten by everyone except me. Oliver had moved on, his eyes on Daphne now, but I hadn’t. I couldn’t.Daisy was my reason, my everything, and seeing her like that, trapped in that sterile room, had broken something in me. So I took her, slipping past the guards, driving through the night to this hidden place. No one knew we were

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 175

    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
