Twice His Wife Chapter 76-AND IF THE WORLD BURNS.
Anaïs didn’t sleep.Not that night. Not with that note burned into her head and the missing flash drive haunting her like a countdown she couldn’t hear but could definitely feel. The house was quiet, too quiet. Cassian was in the back room, sedated and asleep, still recovering. Maris had fallen asleep on the couch, one arm draped over her chest like she was holding herself together.Only Nina was still up, pacing the hallway outside with her phone glued to her ear.“No,” she whispered harshly. “We checked every file. The originals are here, but he knew exactly what to take.”Pause.“I don’t know how he even got in. The safe was locked. No signs of forced entry.”Another pause.Then, “Yes, I know what that means.”Anaïs didn’t ask who she was talking to. Didn’t need to.Instead, she stood at the kitchen counter, watching the steam rise from a mug of untouched tea. Her fingers curled around the handle like she was trying to hold onto something steady.It wasn’t working.She turned when
Twice His Wife Chapter 75-TELLING THE STORY FIRST.
Anaïs stared at the empty spot in the safe like it had personally betrayed her. The flash drive was gone. The one she never mentioned to Maris or Nina. The one she kept separate from everything else because she knew exactly how dangerous it was. And now it was in Daniel’s hands.The note stared back at her.Let’s see what the world thinks when I’m the one telling the story.Her stomach turned.She didn’t even realize she was shaking until her phone buzzed again.Maris.“I’m outside,” she said. “The pharmacy was hell. How’s Cassian?”“He’s still out,” Anaïs said quietly. “Come in.”She clicked off the call and locked the safe again. There was no use staring at it now. What mattered wasn’t that Daniel had taken it—it was why. Why now? Why that drive?When Maris walked in with two bags of supplies, she looked immediately to Anaïs’s face. “What happened?”“Daniel called me.”Maris dropped the bags. “He what?”Anaïs picked up the note. “He said Cassian wasn’t the prize. Just bait. He said
Twice His Wife Chapter 74-THE LIKE WE CROSS.
There’s a sound grief makes when it hasn’t fully landed. It’s not a cry. It’s not a scream. It’s that echo in the back of your throat when your brain knows something’s wrong, but your body hasn’t caught up yet. That’s the sound Anaïs made as she stared at the picture of Cassian tied to that chair, blood streaking his temple like a warning.She didn’t scream.She didn’t cry.She just sat there—phone in hand, heart stuttering, every muscle in her body locked tight with a fear so deep it felt ancient.Maris didn’t say a word. She just watched her. Waited.Anaïs finally exhaled. “This isn’t just Daniel trying to scare us anymore. He’s crossing lines.”“You think he’s still alive?” Maris asked quietly.Anaïs’s voice was barely a whisper. “That message—‘you should’ve stayed dead’—it wasn’t for me.”Maris understood. “It was for Cassian.”Anaïs nodded.And then, without a single tremble in her fingers, she pressed the nurse call button and said, calmly, “I need to be discharged. Now.”⸻They
Twice His Wife Chapter 73- WHAT WE DON’T SAY OUT LOUD.
Cassian sat in the dark, elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped in front of his mouth like a man praying—but this wasn’t prayer. It was silence, loaded and bitter, the kind that settles in your bones and makes a home there. The kind that comes after too much shouting, too much holding back.The door to Anaïs’s hospital room was closed. Still. And he hadn’t gone in. Not yet. He had stood there when they wheeled her in, lifeless and pale, his chest caving in with the weight of it. But now—he couldn’t. Not yet.Maris stood at the end of the corridor. She didn’t say a word. She just watched him like she knew better than to ask what was going through his head.Nina was the one who came back from the front desk. “The doctors say she’s stable. They’re running more scans. She might wake up within a few hours.”Cassian barely nodded. His face was unreadable. Not calm. Not angry. Just empty.“She fought,” Nina added quietly. “I think you should know that.”He blinked slowly.“She kicked. Sh

Cassian didn’t sleep.He sat in the quiet of the master suite, eyes fixed on the digital clock across the room. The numbers kept changing, indifferent to his world tilting. 3:42 a.m. The silence was thick enough to press on his chest. Anaïs was curled in the middle of the bed, wrapped tight in the sheets like she was trying to disappear inside them. Her breathing was slow and even.He couldn’t stop hearing what had been said.“We have a leak. And it’s not just someone inside. It’s someone close. Personal.”Cerberus’s voice had been dry and cold. No emotion. No drama. Just truth that hit Cassian like a brick to the side of the head. Someone close to them was feeding intel to the outside. Dangerous intel.He didn’t have enemies. They had enemies.There was a difference.He got up slowly, careful not to wake Anaïs. His body still hurt from the earlier confrontation with Reid. The bruises were blossoming—purple and yellow spreading over his side like a storm cloud—but he didn’t care. He m
Twice His Wife Chapter 71-THE CONSEQUENCES WE CARRIED.
Cassian didn’t speak for a long time after the door closed behind Dahlia.He just stood there in the middle of Anaïs’s living room like he’d forgotten how to move. Like everything in him had gone still. Anaïs watched him from across the room, her hands pressed tightly to the edges of the counter as if they were the only things anchoring her to the ground.“Cassian,” she said, her voice low. Careful. “Sit down.”He didn’t. Instead, he looked at her. Not the kind of look that pleaded or begged. It wasn’t soft. It wasn’t angry either. It was something worse—numb.“You knew?” he asked quietly.She hesitated. “I suspected.”“But you didn’t tell me.”“I wasn’t sure yet, and you were already—”“I was already what?” he cut in sharply. “Already broken? Already distracted? Already losing my mind because the woman I thought I could trust was lying to my face every day?”Anaïs flinched. Her voice came out smaller than she wanted. “Cassian, I didn’t lie.”“You didn’t have to,” he said bitterly. “Y
