The metal door hissed as it melted inward, glowing around the edges like liquid fire.

Cassian grabbed Anais’s arm and pulled her back behind the vault’s central console, his other hand instinctively reaching for the weapon holstered beneath his coat. Maris backed up fast, her breath ragged, fingers frozen above the keyboard as the temperature in the room spiked.

“No backup’s coming,” she said under her breath. “Cerberus wouldn’t use thermal plasma just to extract us.”

Cassian didn’t look away from the door. “Exactly. This isn’t an extraction. It’s a purge.”

The last layer of metal collapsed with a sharp, echoing crash. Smoke flooded in like ink, thick and chemical, too black to be natural.

And from it—

A figure stepped through.

Tall. Not bulky, but unnaturally still.

It wore a matte-black suit, the kind built for silent kills and infiltration. No insignia. No visible weapons. Its mask—smooth, silver, no eye holes, just a narrow line from temple to jaw. It moved like water. No wasted s

  • Twice His Wife   Chapter 66-THE ONE THING HE NEVER EXPECTED.

    Cassian didn’t move. Not at first.The silence after Anaïs’s words clung to the air like static—thick, hot, waiting for someone to break it. But she didn’t flinch, and he didn’t retreat. They stood there in that narrow corridor—her eyes fierce and glinting with the kind of defiance he used to find annoying but now couldn’t look away from.She’d just told him the one truth he never wanted to hear. That someone inside his own circle had been feeding information to the enemy. And worse, she had proof.He took one slow step toward her. “Who is it?”“You’re not going to like the answer.”“I never do.”Anaïs didn’t soften. “It’s someone close. Someone you trust.” She opened her bag and pulled out the folded file she’d stuffed in there minutes before—Nina had handed it to her just that morning, looking shaken.Cassian took it. His fingers were cold against the paper.He scanned it. Once. Then again. And then his jaw clenched, hard enough she saw the muscle twitch.“No,” he muttered.Anaïs no

  • Twice His Wife   Chapter 65-BENEATH THE SKIN.

    Cassian hadn’t said a word since they left the warehouse.He gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned pale, the muscles in his jaw flexing with each breath he pulled in. Anaïs sat beside him in silence, heart pounding, her fingers tangled tightly in the hem of her shirt. Neither of them had truly processed what happened back there—the gunshots, the blood, the screams. The face of the man Cassian had put down still floated in her mind like a haunting afterimage.He killed someone.To protect her.That realization didn’t frighten her like it probably should have. It shook her—but it didn’t scare her. What scared her more was how numb he looked now. Like a man who’d locked something inside himself just to survive it.“Cassian—”“Not now.” His voice was low. Raw.She swallowed and nodded, facing the windshield again. The city blurred past them like a silent film. At a red light, he exhaled hard and finally spoke.“I need to clean the wound,” he muttered.“You’re bleeding?

  • Twice His Wife   Chapter 64-THE EDGE OF LOYALTY.

    Cassian had only ever truly feared one thing: losing control. Not over power, or his empire, or his influence—that was calculated, measured, expected. But the kind of control that unraveled when someone mattered too much. Someone like Anaïs.He didn’t see her right away when he entered the hospital corridor. What he saw instead were three armed guards outside a door he didn’t recognize, and a long smear of blood just faint enough to look like it had been hastily wiped. A nurse crossed herself when she passed by.Inside, the room was colder than he expected.Anaïs was there, standing. Not sitting, not resting, not leaning against the wall like someone who had nearly died hours ago. She was upright, but barely. Her eyes had that quiet rage in them that reminded him of fire under glass—contained, but burning steady.“You didn’t call,” she said.He didn’t know how to answer that. His hands twitched at his sides.“You almost died,” he said, finally.She nodded. “You left.”That cut deeper

  • Twice His Wife   Chapter 63-WHEN SILENCE BREAKS.

    Cassian sat in the dark, elbows braced on his knees, hands steepled against his mouth. The penthouse was quiet. No music, no humming vents, no distant murmur of the city. Just the sound of his own breath—and Anaïs’ words ringing in his head.“You think you’ve built this world with steel and strategy, but you’re just afraid. Afraid to feel. Afraid to lose.”She had said that, calmly. Like she wasn’t just tearing into him but… laying him bare.It shouldn’t have bothered him. But it did.The message from Harlan’s men had come hours earlier. A photograph of a bruised hand—Anaïs’—bound with zip ties, held up next to a newspaper dated today.They knew exactly what they were doing. And Cassian knew exactly what came next.“You’ve got two options,” the voice on the burner phone had said. “Either you hand over everything—control, holdings, the black files—or you watch her bleed. Slowly.”He hadn’t responded. He’d just hung up. Because Harlan didn’t need a response. He already knew Cassian woul

  • Twice His Wife   Chapter 62-WHERE THE SHADOWS SETTLE.

    Cassian had always known how to silence a room. But this time, it wasn’t with his voice or his presence—it was with the way he stood behind Anaïs, a step back but undeniably there. Protective. Tense. Watching everyone.And it changed everything.In the sterile white walls of the underground chamber, surrounded by the council members who had thought they could manipulate the entire world from behind their polished tables, the power dynamics shifted. No one said a word at first. Not even Vaughn, whose smugness evaporated like steam.Anaïs, whose wrists still bore the faint red marks from the cuffs, turned her head slowly and looked up at Cassian. It wasn’t a question in her eyes. It wasn’t even relief. It was… anger. Quiet, simmering anger buried under the exhaustion.“You knew,” she whispered. “You always knew.”He didn’t flinch. “Yes.”She stared for a second longer, then looked away, jaw tightening.“Tell me,” she said aloud, stepping forward and facing the Council. “Why did you brin

  • Twice His Wife   Chapter 61-NO GOING BACK.

    Anaïs didn’t scream when she felt the blade slide across her shoulder—she staggered. Her breath hitched. Not from pain, not yet—but from the shock. She turned slowly, her eyes meeting Cassian’s. And something in her broke.Cassian hadn’t seen her get cut. He hadn’t even realized the man had gotten that close.But when he saw the blood soaking through the side of her blouse, something inside him exploded.“Get away from her,” he growled, voice low, guttural. Not loud. Dangerous.The man in the mask—Cerberus’s right-hand man, the one with the smirk too casual for the chaos he caused—paused for a split second. That was all Cassian needed. He lunged, no hesitation. He didn’t fight like a CEO. He fought like a man with nothing to lose.The man went down hard.Anaïs dropped to one knee, pressing her palm to her wound. It wasn’t deep, but it was enough to rattle her. Enough to wake up a scream that never quite made it out.The fight around them was chaos. Cassian’s security team had taken ov
