Daphne's POV

I had barely taken a sip of my coffee when Brittany came bursting into the kitchen, barefoot and energized, her curly hair tied up in a loose bun.

“I just saw the twins!” she gasped, eyes wide. “They were licking chocolate off their fingers and mumbling something about a mini cake! You didn’t…”

“I did.” I grinned, holding my mug like a trophy. “It was a little surprise cake. Candles and all. Oliver and I woke them up at dawn.”

Brittany dropped onto the barstool across from me. “You’re turning into a real mom.”

I smiled at the word. Mom. It didn’t sting as much as it used to. It actually… settled on my shoulders like something I wanted to earn.

“They were so excited,” I murmured. “Their faces lit up. I’ll never forget it.”

Brittany leaned forward and squeezed my hand. “You’re doing amazing. They’re lucky to have you.”

I swallowed past the warmth in my throat and stood up. “Well, no time to cry now. We’ve got a party to throw.”

The next hours that followed were busy ones.

    Jade's POV “You’re overthinking things,” he said flatly, moving around his desk. “You’ve always been dramatic, Jade.”“Oh please,” I scoffed. “I’ve known Daisy for half my life. I can tell when something’s off. And that woman? She’s a stranger in Daisy’s skin.”Oliver sighed and poured himself a glass of water, clearly stalling.“I don’t know what kind of games you’re playing,” I continued, “but don’t stand there and tell me I’m imagining it.”He took a slow sip. “You’re emotional right now.”“Don’t gaslight me, Oliver.”“I’m not…”“She doesn’t know my favorite color. She doesn’t remember significant events. She blushed when your name was mentioned. You… The same man Daisy never even liked. That woman actually likes you, Oliver. Daisy never did.”He stayed quiet.“And don’t get me started on the kids,” I added. “She knows their little habits, their favorite toys, everything. Since when did Daisy ever care about that stuff?”“You went to the house?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.“Yes,

    The house was covered in a quietness so deep, even the air seemed to hold its breath. It was past eleven, late enough that every hallway was shadowed, every room too.Only the dim lights lining the corridor spilled a gentle golden light as I walked barefoot toward the kitchen, clad in my pale pink nightdress and robe. I moved carefully, careful not make a sound.Tomorrow was the twins’ birthday, and while the mansion buzzed with plans for a grand party, I wanted to give them something small. Something simple. Something from me. A little cake, just for the morning. Something to say, “I see you. I love you. You matter.”I hadn’t grown up with surprises like that. I had never celebrated my birthdays either. My childhood had been normal days with adopted mother.Love had felt like a prize I had to earn. But those little girls upstairs? They deserved better. And if I could give it to them, even in small ways, then I would.I stepped into the kitchen, flipping on the lights. The countertops

    Daphne's POV “March 11th,I smiled for the camera, for the kids, for Oliver. But inside, I felt hollow. I don’t know when it started… this feeling of floating through my own life like a stranger. I used to dream of a perfect family. I thought I had it. So why does it hurt to wake up every day?”I flipped to another entry.“July 2nd,Everyone says I’m lucky. Married to Oliver Blackwood. A beautiful home. Healthy children. But sometimes I wonder if anyone sees me. Truly sees me. I’m tired of pretending I’m fine.”I felt a lump rise in my throat. Daisy hadn’t been happy. The perfect life she portrayed had been a mask, just like the one I was now forced to wear.But what hurt more was that she never wrote why she was so deeply sad. The pain was there, clear and bleeding through every line, but no explanation followed. No betrayal, no trauma, no specific reason. Just… emptiness.I set the journal aside and noticed a smaller box underneath it.I pulled it out and opened it.It contained le

    Daphne's POVThe days that followed the twins' birthday party rolled by in a quiet lull. The buzz and excitement had long since faded, leaving behind a calm that was almost too silent. I spent most of my time at home, sometimes reading, other times strolling through the garden or organizing little fun moments with Delilah and Dahlia. I enjoyed those moments with them more than I had expected—their innocent laughter, their clingy hugs, the way they called me "Mommy" with so much trust. It made my chest ache, in a way I couldn't put into words.And Oliver? He had become a ghost in his own home.He said he was busy with work—late meetings, unexpected travels, deadlines. And I believed him. Mostly. (Not like I had a choice anyways). But that didn't erase the sting of disappointment every time I passed his study door, slightly ajar and empty, or glanced toward his side of the long dining table during dinner and found it vacant.Sometimes I caught myself thinking about that night in the fo

  • The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal   Chapter 36: Morning 

    Daphne's POV The soft golden light of dawn peeked in through the curtains, dusting the edges of the room in warm hues. My eyelids fluttered open slowly, and for a brief moment, I forgot where I was. The ceiling above me wasn’t familiar neither were the soft grey sheets tangled around my legs or the warm, masculine scent lingering in the air.Then I remembered.Oliver.Last night.I shifted slowly, sitting upright, and found that I was alone in the bed. The side where he must’ve lain was empty, the sheets there slightly rumpled. He had left. Or maybe he’d never stayed. A soft, tender ache spread through my chest—not regret, but… something else. Something more complicated.My fingers traced my temple, trying to recall the moments leading up to this. The laughter. The drinks. The firelight dancing across his face. The kiss.My cheeks burned with the memory.He had kissed me. No, we had kissed. And just when I thought the night would spiral into something I couldn’t take back, he stoppe

    Oliver’s POVShe was laughing again—soft and light, the kind of sound that tugged at something deep in me I didn’t know still existed.Her cheeks were tinged pink, her eyes glassy but bright, her entire body sinking further into the velvet armchair like she had finally allowed herself to breathe. She looked... happy. Free. A stark contrast from the guarded woman who had arrived weeks ago with pain tucked behind every smile.I couldn’t stop looking at her.And I was trying—I really was. Because the lines between what was real and what was pretend had blurred so much lately, I wasn’t sure if I was still protecting her or falling for her.Her fingers fumbled slightly as she placed the empty glass on the table beside her.“That was… wow,” she murmured, giggling. “That’s three, right?”I smiled faintly. “Three and a half, technically.”She tilted her head, eyes narrowing playfully. “You keeping score on me, Mr. Sinclair?”“I keep score on everything,” I replied, leaning back slightly, my e
