The lawyer's office was in the heart of the city, a towering glass building that seemed to pierce the clouds. Lisa stood in the lobby, her hands clasped tightly together, her heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and dread.

Kilan was beside her, his hand resting on the small of her back. His presence was steadying, a warm anchor in the sea of uncertainty.

"You don't have to do this alone," he murmured. "I'm right here."

She looked up at him, gratitude flooding her chest. "I know. Thank

  • The contract wife secret twins    Chapter 105: A New Beginning

    The morning after the sentencing, Lisa woke with a sense of clarity she hadn't felt in years.The sun streamed through the curtains, warm and golden. The ocean whispered against the shore, its rhythm steady and eternal. And beside her, Kilan slept peacefully, his face relaxed, his breathing slow.She lay there for a long moment, watching him.They'd been through so much. The contract marriage. The divorce. The years of separation. The threats. The trials. The fear.And now, finally, they were free.She reached out and traced the line of his jaw."I love you," she whispered.His eyes fluttered open, and he smiled."I love you too."They gathered in the kitchen for breakfast.The twins were already at the table, their faces bright with anticipation. Martha had sent over a basket of pastries, and the smell of fresh coffee filled the air."What are we doing today?" Nora asked, her mouth full of croissant.Lisa looked at Kilan, then back at her children."We're going to the beach," she sai

  • The contract wife secret twins    Chapter 104: Justice Served

    The sentence was delivered on a gray Friday morning.Lisa sat in the courtroom, her hand clasped in Kilan's, her heart pounding as the judge read the verdict. Marcus Webb stood in the defendant's box, his face pale, his eyes hollow. The cold confidence he'd worn throughout the trial had vanished, replaced by something that looked almost like fear."Marcus Webb," the judge said, her voice steady and stern, "you have been found guilty of stalking, making credible threats, and conspiracy to commit murder. These are serious crimes, committed against a woman who had already suffered greatly at the hands of your associates."Lisa felt Kilan's grip tighten on her hand."The court has reviewed the evidence, heard the testimony, and considered the impact of your actions on the victims. Your crimes were calculated, cruel, and designed to inflict maximum fear and suffering."The judge paused, her eyes fixed on Webb."I hereby sentence you to life in prison without the possibility of parole."The

    The courthouse was a fortress of stone and glass, its steps worn smooth by decades of feet seeking justice.Lisa stood at the bottom, her hand clasped in Kilan's, her heart pounding. She'd been dreading this day for weeks. The thought of facing Marcus Webb again, of sitting in the same room as the man who had terrorized her family, made her stomach churn.But she was ready.She'd spent years running from her fears. She wasn't going to run anymore."Are you sure you want to do this?" Kilan asked softly.She looked at him, her eyes steady."I've never been more sure of anything."They climbed the steps together.The courtroom was packed.Reporters filled the back rows, their cameras and notebooks ready. Spectators crowded the benches, their whispers a low hum of anticipation. Lisa walked to the witness stand, her steps measured, her head held high.She passed Marcus Webb on the way.He sat at the defendant's table, his wrists cuffed, his face a mask of cold indifference. His eyes follow

    The call came at 3 AM.Lisa was already awake, lying in the darkness, staring at the ceiling. She'd been unable to sleep, her mind churning with thoughts of the raid, of Marcus Webb, of what might happen if things went wrong.Kilan was beside her, his hand clasped in hers, his breathing steady. He hadn't slept either.When his phone buzzed, they both jumped.He answered immediately, his voice sharp. "What's happening?"Lisa watched his face, her heart pounding. His expression shifted—tension, then relief, then something that looked almost like disbelief."Understood," he said. "We'll be ready."He ended the call and turned to her."They got him."Lisa's breath caught."What?""They got him. The raid was successful. Marcus Webb is in custody. No one was hurt."Lisa stared at him, the words slowly sinking in."He's... he's caught?""He's caught." Kilan pulled her into his arms. "It's over, Lisa. It's finally over."She clung to him, her body trembling with relief.The details came in sl

    The call came at midnight.Lisa was asleep, her head resting on Kilan's chest, when his phone buzzed on the nightstand. He answered it groggily, his voice thick with sleep. Then his body went rigid beneath her."What?" His voice was sharp. "When?"Lisa sat up, her heart pounding.Kilan listened for a long moment, his jaw tightening. Then he said, "We'll be ready," and ended the call."What is it?" Lisa asked, her voice barely a whisper.He turned to her, his eyes dark with intensity."They found him. Marcus Webb. They know where he's hiding."Lisa felt the blood drain from her face."Where?""A remote cabin in the mountains. About three hours from here. The authorities are planning a raid. They want us to stay put, but they wanted us to know."Lisa pressed a hand to her chest, her heart racing."Are they going to catch him?""They're going to try." Kilan took her hand. "But this is it, Lisa. This is the moment we've been waiting for."---They didn't sleep.Lisa sat in the kitchen, a

  • The contract wife secret twins    Chapter 100: The Anniversary

    The date had been seared into Lisa's memory.Five years ago, she'd signed the divorce papers with trembling hands, her heart shattered, her body carrying the secret of their unborn children. She'd walked out of the lawyer's office feeling like a ghost, empty and hollow, convinced she'd lost everything.Now, she stood in the garden of the cottage, the ocean stretching before her, her family gathered around her. Five years had transformed everything.Nora was chasing butterflies, her laughter bright and carefree. Noah was reading on the porch, his serious eyes scanning the pages. Kilan was beside her, his hand warm in hers, his presence a steady anchor.They'd come so far.Kilan squeezed her hand. "What are you thinking about?"She looked up at him, her eyes soft."I'm thinking about five years ago. About how I thought my life was over. About how I couldn't imagine a future where I'd be standing here, with you, with our children, with everything I'd ever dreamed of."He lifted her hand
