last update Fecha de publicación: 2026-06-11 00:43:24

Luka found the test.

I don’t know exactly how. Maybe when he went to empty the trash in my bathroom. All I know is that in the middle of the afternoon, while I’m in the kitchen trying to force down a piece of toast, Declan appears in the doorway with a closed expression.

He doesn’t say anything at first.

He just stands there, staring at me.

Harvey is sitting at the table, reading something on his tablet. When he senses the shift in the air, he looks up.

“What is it?” he asks, already knowing so

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 108

    Weeks later.The chapel in Galway was exactly as I remembered.Small. Made of ancient stone. With stained glass that let the light enter in colors, even on cloudy days. This was where Declan and I got married, years ago, when the world still seemed simpler. When I was still just Evie. When he was still just Declan. And when the future seemed like something we could control.Today, the chapel was almost empty.Just us.Declan, Harvey, and me.Claire. Maeve. Matthew.Zion and Luka.No one else. No priest. No traditional ceremony. Just us, the ancient stone, and the weight of everything we'd been through to get here.I stood in the center of the chapel, wearing a simple cream linen dress. My hair was loose. My belly was already visibly rounding. Declan stood to my right, in a dark suit. Harvey to my left, also in a suit, but with his tie a little looser, as he always did when nervous.Claire sat in the front row, her stuffed rabbit on her lap. Matthew sat beside her, quiet, holding his m

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 107

    We three sat in the living room of the house in Dublin on a cold December night. The fireplace was lit. Claire was already asleep upstairs. The baby moved gently in my belly. Outside, the rain tapped lightly against the windows.None of us had planned this conversation. It just happened.After everything, it became clear that we needed to stop living on autopilot. We needed to define what we were. What we wanted to be. And how we were going to make this work without hurting each other more.Declan sat in the large armchair, his elbows on his knees. Harvey sat on the sofa, his hands clasped together. I sat between them, in the middle of the sofa, my legs folded under me.For a few minutes, no one spoke.It was Declan who broke the silence."We need to talk," he said, direct as always. "For real. No war. No threats. No one being taken away. We need to decide how this is going to work from now on."Harvey nodded slowly."I agree. We've lived in chaos for too long. Now that the worst is o

    Of course, after I spent a week alone with Declan, enjoying each other, I needed to reward my other man.The cabin in Vermont was exactly as Harvey described: isolated, small, made of dark wood, surrounded by tall trees and absolute silence. There were no neighbors for miles. No strong cell signal. Nothing but the frozen lake outside and the crackling fireplace inside.We came alone.Declan had stayed in Dublin with Claire. Maeve and Matthew were somewhere else, rebuilding their lives. For the first time since everything started, Harvey and I were completely alone—no plans, no threats, no underworld, no one to judge us.The drive had been silent. Not in a heavy way. It was a silence that felt necessary. Harvey drove most of the time, his hands firm on the wheel, his eyes focused on the road. I looked out the window, feeling the baby move occasionally in my belly.When we arrived, it was already night. Snow fell slowly. Harvey brought in the bags while I lit the fireplace. The house wa

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 105

    We came to the lake house in Galway without telling anyone.It wasn't an escape. It wasn't a work trip. It was just... us. For the first time in fourteen years, Declan and I were completely alone. No Claire. No Harvey. No underworld. No threats. No ghosts.The house was small and old, made of dark wood, built right on the edge of the lake. It had a porch that faced the water and a wooden deck where we could sit and hear only the wind and the gentle waves lapping at the shore. Declan bought the place years ago, but almost never came. He said it was a place he kept for when he needed to disappear. I'd never been here before.When we arrived, it was late afternoon. The sky was painted orange and purple. Declan brought in the bags while I opened the windows to let the fresh air in. The smell of pine and lake water filled the house immediately.Neither of us spoke much.We didn't need to.After everything we'd been through—after Richard, after the castle, after the war—words seemed too sma

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 104

    Maeve started therapy two weeks after we returned to Dublin.She didn't want to go at first. Said she didn't need it. That she'd already survived everything alone for years and would keep going. But I saw the truth in her eyes. Saw the way she looked at Matthew when she thought no one was paying attention. Saw the tremor in her hands when someone spoke loudly near her. Saw the way she closed up every time her father's name was mentioned.I didn't push. I just left the contact of a therapist on the kitchen table one night. A woman Harvey recommended. Someone discreet, who had worked with people from the underworld before. Someone who knew how to keep secrets.Three days later, Maeve picked up the paper."I'll try," she said, not looking at me. "Just to see."I didn't respond. Just nodded.Because I knew that for Maeve, admitting she needed help was already a huge victory.The first session was on a rainy afternoon.I drove her. Matthew stayed with Claire at the house. Maeve was silent

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 103

    We returned to Dublin almost three weeks ago.The old house in the Highlands no longer exists. Glenfinnan Castle turned to ashes and international news. Richard Ashford is dead. Maeve's father too. The main names in the corruption network were eliminated or are being hunted. The entire Irish underworld is still digesting what happened.And now Declan decided it was time to do something no one expected.He wants to officially make Harvey part of the Callahan family.Publicly.In the underworld.When he first said it, I almost dropped my glass.We were in the kitchen of the house we rented in Dublin. Claire was upstairs, sleeping. The baby moved gently in my belly. Harvey was leaning against the counter, drinking black coffee. Declan walked in, took off his jacket, and spoke directly, as he always does when he's already decided something."I'm going to officially make Harvey part of the family," he said. "Publicly. With witnesses. With the entire underworld watching."Harvey stopped wit

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 9

    The silence that follows the revelation about Harvey and Beatrice Ashford is deafening. I feel as though the ground has disappeared from beneath my feet, leaving me floating in a void where nothing makes sense.I lived six years as a dead woman.Nausea hits me in violent waves. Ever

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 5

    Breakfast ends in a tense silence that only Claire seems not to feel. She chatters animatedly about her plans for the day, oblivious to the silent storm brewing between me and Declan. Every time our eyes meet, I feel the weight of the promise he whispered in the dark: “I’m going to fuck you until y

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 4

    The kiss ends slowly, but Declan doesn’t pull away. His forehead stays pressed to mine, our breaths mingling. I can still taste him—rain, desire, and something dangerously addictive.“You kissed me back,” he murmurs, his voice rough with satisfaction. “Even if it was just a little.”I turn my face

  • Twice You   CHAPTER 3

    He hangs up the phone and slips it into his pocket. The room falls silent for a few seconds, broken only by my ragged breathing and the relentless rain hammering against the windows.I’m still cuffed to the bed, half-naked, my body throbbing where he touched me. Guilt chokes me. How could I have re
