The contract wife secret twins Chapter 17: Sophia's Dark Plan Deepens
The private investigator's office was tucked away in a nondescript building on the wrong side of town. No signage. No windows facing the street. Just a steel door with a single buzzer and the faint smell of cigarette smoke clinging to the hallway.Sophia pressed the buzzer and waited.The door clicked open.She stepped inside, her heels sinking slightly into the worn carpet. The office was cluttered—filing cabinets overflowing, photographs pinned to the walls, a desk buried under stacks of paper.A man sat behind the desk, his face half-hidden in shadow. He was thin, middle-aged, with sharp eyes that missed nothing."Miss Bennett." His voice was gravelly. "I wasn't expecting you so soon."Sophia smiled, sliding into the chair across from him."I have a new assignment for you, Mr. Voss."He leaned back, his eyes narrowing."I thought we were finished with the Carter woman.""We are." She crossed her legs, perfectly composed. "This is something different. Something more... personal."Vo
The contract wife secret twins Chapter 16: The Divorce Is Finalized
The knock came at dawn.Lisa was in the kitchen of her small apartment, her hands deep in bread dough, when the sharp rap against her door shattered the morning peace. She froze, flour dusting her apron, her heart lurching into her throat.No one visited her this early.No one visited her at all.She wiped her hands on a towel and crossed to the door, her bare feet silent against the worn wooden floor. Through the peephole, she saw two figures in dark suits. Their faces were grim. Professional.Lawyers.Her blood ran cold.She opened the door a crack, her hand instinctively moving to her belly."Can I help you?""Lisa Carter?" The older man held up a badge. "We're from Hart Legal Associates. We need to speak with you.""I don't—""It's regarding the dissolution of your marriage to Kilan Hart."The words hit her like a physical blow.Dissolution.They were here to finalize what she'd started.She opened the door wider, her voice barely a whisper. "Come in."They stepped into her small

The moving trucks arrived at dawn.Sophia directed them with military precision, her heels clicking against the marble foyer as she pointed toward the guest rooms, the master suite, the study. Her designer luggage was carried inside first, followed by boxes of clothes, art, and carefully curated possessions.Everything she owned was being brought into the Hart mansion.Kilan watched from the staircase, his hands shoved into his pockets, his expression unreadable."You're sure about this?" he asked.Sophia turned, her smile radiant. "Of course I'm sure. You need support right now. And I'm here to give it to you."She crossed the foyer and took his hands in hers."This is what you need, Kilan. A fresh start. Someone who actually cares about you."He didn't respond.But he didn't pull away.Sophia squeezed his hands, then released them and turned back to her boxes."I've already arranged for the decorators to come tomorrow," she said brightly. "We need to update the look of this place. I
The contract wife secret twins Chapter 14: The New Life Begins
The smell of fresh bread and cinnamon woke Lisa before her alarm clock did.It drifted up through the floorboards, warm and inviting, wrapping around her like a promise. She lay in bed for a long moment, her hand resting on her growing belly, listening to the sounds of the bakery below.Martha was already at work.Lisa smiled and forced herself upright. The nausea was worse in the mornings, but she'd learned to manage it. A few crackers by the bedside. A sip of cold water. Slow, deliberate movements until her stomach settled."Good morning, little ones," she whispered, touching her belly.Noah and Nora responded with a gentle flutter.They were growing stronger every day. Lisa could feel it—tiny kicks and rolls that reminded her she wasn't alone. That she had purpose.That she had a reason to keep going.She dressed quickly in her new uniform—a simple apron over a comfortable blouse—and descended the narrow staircase to the bakery.Martha was already at work, kneading dough with pract
The contract wife secret twins Chapter 13: Grandfather's Suspicions
The hospital room smelled of antiseptic and fear.Kilan sat beside his grandfather's bed, watching the monitors track the old man's faltering heartbeat. The stroke had been severe—worse than the doctors initially predicted. Grandfather Hart's left side was weakened, his speech slurred, his eyes clouded with confusion.But his mind remained sharp.Too sharp."Lisa," Grandfather croaked, his fingers twitching against the blanket. "Where is Lisa?"Kilan's jaw tightened. He'd been dreading this question."She's visiting family," he said smoothly. "She'll be back soon."Grandfather's cloudy eyes narrowed."Liar."The word was weak but cutting."Grandfather—""I know you, boy. I've known you since you were born. You're lying to me."Kilan looked away."What happened to her?" Grandfather pressed. "Did you drive her away?""No—""Don't lie to me." The old man's voice cracked with emotion. "I saw the way you looked at that Bennett woman. I saw how you treated Lisa. Like she was invisible. Like
The contract wife secret twins Chapter 12: The Aftermath
The bedroom had never felt so empty.Kilan stood in the center of the room, the letter crumpled in his fist, his chest heaving with barely contained rage. He'd read it so many times the words were branded into his memory."I'm giving you your freedom, Kilan."His freedom.As if he'd been a prisoner.As if three years of marriage meant nothing.He hurled the letter across the room and watched it flutter to the floor like a wounded bird."How dare she?"His voice echoed off the walls, unanswered.He stormed to the closet, throwing open the doors. Her clothes were gone—not all of them, but enough to suggest she'd planned this. The designer dresses she never wore, the casual outfits she loved, the comfortable shoes she preferred.Everything that mattered had vanished.He checked the bathroom. Her toiletries were gone. Her favorite perfume, the one he'd bought her for their first anniversary, was missing from the counter.The drawers were empty.The jewelry box was open and bare.She'd tak
