The contract wife secret twins Chapter 8: The Secret Between Us
I didn't realize I was crying until the traffic light turned green.The driver behind me honked.I blinked, wiped my cheeks with the back of my hand, and forced myself to move.The laboratory report sat on the passenger seat beside me.I couldn't bring myself to put it away.Every time I looked at it, the words blurred together.The contraceptive medication was inconsistent.Someone had changed my pills.Or something had gone terribly wrong.Either way, the truth was no longer as simple as an accidental pregnancy.My babies...They weren't a mistake.They were the result of something I still couldn't explain.The mansion felt colder than usual when I returned.The silence wrapped around me as I walked through the front door.I climbed the stairs, entered my bedroom, and locked the door behind me.For several long moments, I simply stood there.Then I opened the bedside drawer and placed the laboratory report beside the ultrasound photographs.Two secrets.Both capable of destroying my
The contract wife secret twins Chapter 7: The Truth Hidden in a Pill
The drive to the hospital felt endless.My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly they ached, but I barely noticed. Every red light felt like an enemy. Every passing minute stretched my nerves thinner.Dr. Grey's words echoed in my head."There are some irregularities."Irregularities.That wasn't the kind of word doctors used when everything was fine.By the time I rushed into the clinic, my heart was pounding so hard I could hear it.The receptionist looked up and immediately stood."Mrs. Hart? Dr. Grey is waiting for you."I nodded, unable to speak.My legs carried me down the familiar hallway, but today it felt different.Heavier.Like I was walking toward a truth that would change my life forever.Dr. Grey rose from behind her desk the moment I entered."Sit down."Her voice was calm, but there was concern in her eyes.I obeyed without a word.She slid a laboratory report across the desk."The tablets you brought weren't all the same medication."I stared at her."What?"She

The moment the front door closed behind Sophia, I couldn't breathe.Something felt wrong.Not loud.Not obvious.Just... wrong.I stood in the foyer for several seconds, staring at my handbag lying on the sofa where I'd left it.Had the zipper been open before?I couldn't remember.My heart thudded painfully against my ribs as I walked over and picked it up.Everything seemed to be there.My wallet.My keys.The envelope from Dr. Grey.The bottle of prenatal vitamins.Nothing appeared to be missing."So why does it feel like someone just walked through my life wearing a smile?"The front door opened again.I jumped.Kilan stepped inside, loosening his tie.He stopped when he saw my face."What happened?"I forced a smile."Nothing."His gaze swept over the untouched tea set in the living room."We had a visitor?""Sophia came by."His eyebrows lifted slightly."She did?""She brought dessert."He looked surprised."She didn't mention it."Something about that sentence unsettled me.If
The contract wife secret twins Chapter 5: The First Lie
I couldn't stop staring at the pill packet.The tiny white tablets looked harmless.Ordinary.But one of them wasn't the same shape as the others.It was only a slight difference—small enough that I might never have noticed if I hadn't turned the packet over again and again.A chill crawled up my spine.I had trusted those pills.Kilan had trusted them.Our entire marriage had depended on them.I slipped the packet into my handbag, grabbed my keys, and left the house.The drive to Dr. Grey's clinic felt longer than usual.Questions chased one another through my mind.Had the pharmacy made a mistake?Had I been careless?Or...Had someone wanted me to become pregnant?The last thought sounded ridiculous.Why would anyone do that?By the time I parked outside the clinic, my palms were damp with sweat.Dr. Grey welcomed me into her office with a warm smile that quickly faded when she saw my expression."What happened?"I placed the blister pack on her desk."I think something's wrong."S

I waited until we got home before I allowed myself to fall apart.The entire drive back, Kilan kept his eyes on the road while I stared out the passenger window, pretending to watch the city lights blur past.Neither of us spoke.The silence between us wasn't peaceful.It was crowded with everything I wanted to say and everything he never thought to ask.When the car rolled into the driveway, Kilan turned off the engine."You barely ate.""I wasn't hungry.""You were sick twice.""I'm fine."He looked at me then, his gray eyes narrowing slightly."You're a terrible liar."For one reckless second, hope fluttered inside my chest.Maybe he noticed.Maybe he cared.Maybe—"I'm calling Dr. Mason tomorrow."The hope disappeared as quickly as it had come."I don't need another doctor.""You need to find out what's wrong.""I already know."The words slipped out before I could stop them.His brows drew together."What do you mean?""I..." I looked away. "I mean it's probably just stress."He
The contract wife secret twins Chapter 3: The Place I Never Belonged
The moment Sophia smiled at Kilan, I understood something I'd spent three years trying to deny.I had married the man.She had always owned the part of him I could never reach.No one spoke for several long seconds after Sophia announced she was back for good.Then Grandfather cleared his throat."Sit, everyone. Dinner is getting cold."His voice broke the tension, but it didn't erase it.Sophia took the empty chair across from Kilan.Across from me.Close enough that they could look at each other without turning their heads.Close enough that I felt like the unwanted third person in my own marriage.The servants began placing dishes on the table.Normally, Grandfather insisted everyone eat before discussing business.Tonight, no one seemed interested in the food.One of Kilan's aunts smiled at Sophia."We've missed you so much."Sophia laughed softly."I've missed everyone too."Another relative chimed in."When we heard you were moving back, we couldn't believe it.""I finally reali
