Twice His Wife Chapter 99-IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST.
They moved before dawn.No speeches. No drawn-out planning. Just the four of them in the dark, dressing in silence, buckling holsters, checking the weight of weapons they’d already memorized. The air in the abandoned church felt heavier, like it knew what was coming.Anaïs stood at the stained-glass window, the light behind it still weak and blue. The coordinates Morgan had sent pulsed on the screen in her hand. A single red dot, buried just outside the city, in a quadrant that didn’t exist on any official map.She turned to Cassian. “You sure you want in on this?”“You’re not doing it alone.”She looked at Maris next.The woman already had her coat on. “Someone has to get you out if it goes to hell.”Anaïs nodded once. Then down to the child.Still asleep.“I’ll stay,” Maris added quickly. “I’ll wait with him. Keep the car running.”Anaïs didn’t thank her. She just gave her a long look. One that said: If we don’t make it out, raise him knowing the truth.Maris nodded back, like she u

It was quiet after Morgan left. Too quiet. Anaïs stood by the window of the empty café long after the journalist had disappeared into the gray swell of the street, the tablet no longer in her possession. The ledger was gone—finally gone—but the weight hadn’t lifted. If anything, it had settled deeper.Cassian came to stand beside her, his body still tense. “You sure about her?”“No,” Anaïs said. “But it doesn’t matter. We don’t have another option.”His silence wasn’t agreement, but he didn’t press. Outside, the clouds split open. The rain that followed wasn’t gentle. It was cold and punishing, and it hit the pavement like it meant to erase something.They couldn’t stay here. The café was too exposed. Too many windows. Too many exits they couldn’t watch.Maris huddled under the overhang, her small body folded around the child like a barrier. Anaïs moved quickly, pulling up the hood of her coat and crouching beside them.“We leave now,” she said. “We don’t wait to see who’s watching.”
Twice His Wife Chapter 97-WE BLEED, THEN WE RUN.
Outside, the clouds darkened. The storm wasn’t just in the sky anymore.Anaïs stepped out of the café and immediately felt the shift. The air had thickened—humid, heavy, charged like the moment before lightning cracks the sky. Maris clung to her leg, eyes wide, sensing it too.Cassian was already watching from the alleyway across the street, his gaze tracking everything: the delivery van that hadn’t moved in twenty minutes, the man in the phone booth pretending to talk while glancing sideways. Something wasn’t right.Anaïs crossed the street with Maris in her arms and handed her to Cassian.“We need to move. Now.”“No tail?” he asked.“Not yet. But it’s too quiet.”“Too quiet’s worse than too loud,” he muttered.They took the back route. Narrow alleys between buildings where the walls pressed too close and every echo sounded like footsteps. Maris didn’t say a word. She knew better now. She was learning what the world could be like when you carried truth like a ticking bomb.Julien was

The phone buzzed once—then died.Cassian stared at the blank screen. “They’ve cut the signal.”Anaïs swore. “That was our last clean line.”Julien groaned from behind her. “Then we go dirty.”“What do you mean?” she asked.He pushed himself up on one elbow. “We use what they’re already watching. Feed it straight into their system. No encryption. Let them panic when they realize everyone else has it too.”Cassian frowned. “That’s not a leak. That’s a bomb.”“Exactly,” Julien said, pale but grinning. “And it’ll bury them.”Anaïs hesitated. There was no going back from something like that. Once it was out, they’d be hunted without restraint. But that didn’t scare her anymore. What scared her was staying silent. What scared her was letting all of this end in whispers.She nodded. “We do it your way.”Julien smiled, then immediately winced. “Remind me never to get stabbed again.”Anaïs knelt by the crate they were using as a makeshift workstation. She opened the backup drive Cassian had sm

The rain had stopped, but the city still smelled like it. Wet concrete, asphalt, and something sharper—fear. Anaïs stood by the window, watching the dark streets shimmer with the fading storm. Her hands were clenched on the sill, nails digging in, trying to hold onto something solid in the chaos swirling inside her.Cassian was quiet nearby, pacing with a slow, deliberate rhythm. He didn’t ask how she was holding up. He didn’t need to. She could see it in his eyes—the exhaustion that came from fighting battles with no clear end.Julien’s absence was a hollow ache in the room. No matter how much they fought, how many secrets they kept, Julien’s presence had been their anchor. Now, the silence he left behind felt like a warning.Maris slept in the next room, fragile in her innocence, unaware of the war raging around her. Anaïs wasn’t sure which was worse—the fight outside, or the fight inside her own head.A soft knock at the door jolted her from her thoughts. Julien’s voice came throug
Twice His Wife Chapter 94-THE COST OF KNOWING.
They didn’t have time to speak. The moment the door slammed shut behind them, Anaïs felt it—thick, choking tension. A silence that wasn’t silence at all, just the sound of breath being held in a room full of people who knew too much.Julien stood in front of the wall of monitors, his back to them. Maris was perched stiffly on the couch, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees. The little girl’s eyes flicked between them all, wide and unblinking, as if waiting for someone to say what she already feared.Cassian closed the door slowly, deliberately, the metal click of the lock louder than it should’ve been.Anaïs didn’t sit. She didn’t move. She just looked at Julien’s shoulders—how squared they were, how still. A man who had just decided something. Something final.“You said you burned the ledger,” he said without turning around.She didn’t answer.He finally turned to face her. His voice was quiet. Controlled.“I know you didn’t.”The silence stretched. Not even Cassian interrupted.
