Twinned lies Chapter 23
Luca’s black SUV screeched to a halt in the driveway of his villa, its tires skidding on the gravel. The gates swung open, and he practically tore himself from the car before it had even fully stopped, his rage an inferno burning everything in its wake. His mind raced with violent thoughts, desperate for a way to fix it, to find Emilia before it was too late.The villa, a fortress of glass and steel, stood in stark contrast to the chaos swirling inside him. He barely noticed the grandeur of the place as he stormed into the entrance hall.Isadora was already there, pacing in the large living room, her face pale with fear. When she saw Luca, her breath hitched, the weight of the situation settling on her like a suffocating blanket. She opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by the explosion of Luca’s voice.“Dimitri’s got her, Isa,” he spat, his voice like gravel, raw with anger. “Emilia’s gone. He took her from the hospital. Dimitri has her.”Isadora froze, the words slicing through
Twinned lies Chapter 22
The motorcade moved like a blade through ice—precise, sharp, unyielding.Two black SUVs led the convoy, headlights cutting through the early gray haze of the Moscow morning. Behind them, a reinforced government sedan cradled Emilia and Luca in a bubble of dark glass and muted urgency. Two more vehicles followed, one of them carrying armed agents, the other medical security—just in case.This wasn’t just a hospital visit.This was a public risk assessment.Emilia sat curled against the door, coat wrapped tightly around her, trying not to focus on the churning in her stomach. It hadn’t returned in full force, but the dull pressure lingered like a bruise. Her head throbbed. Her body ached in the strange, unreal way exhaustion disguises as illness.Luca sat beside her, tense but composed, phone silent in his lap. He hadn’t stopped watching her—not once since she woke up.“You good?” he asked quietly.She didn’t answer right away. Then: “Define ‘good.’”“Breathing. Sitting up. Not fainting
Twinned lies Chapter 21
The west wing was quieter than it should’ve been.No voices. No footsteps. Not even the faint hum of the boiler that usually kicked on around this hour. Emilia's boots echoed against the parquet floors as she moved quickly, trying not to run. Running would make it worse—make it real. But every creak, every shadow made her skin itch.The house had shifted in her absence. She felt it immediately—like waking to find someone’s moved all your furniture, just slightly. Enough to be disorienting. Enough to feel like a warning.She passed the library. Dark. The light Luca always left on—off.He wasn’t here.She swallowed hard and made her way to the room, but heard or saw no one.Still nothingThen—A sound. Sharp. Distant.Metal on stone?The cellar.Her pulse jumped.Of course he would’ve looked there. If he thought she’d run. If he thought—Then another sound. This one closer. Behind herHer name. Low. Rough. Wounded.“Emilia.”She froze.Luca stood at the bottom of the stairs, a flashligh
Twinned lies Chapter 20
Marco had been watching Isadora for days now — ever since the phone calls started. Quiet, coded, always in a hushed tone. She always stepped away from their conversations when answering. She was careful, but not careful enough or she wanted to be noticed? He didn’t know what to do, by the time their jet touched down in Russia, he had enough to raise an eyebrow — and Luca was no fool. He gave the order the moment they stepped off the plane.“Keep watching her,” Luca said under his breath, his breath visible in the freezing night. “I want to know where she goes. Every step.”So when Isadora snuck out of the house later that night, Marco was ready. He had already instructed the perimeter guards earlier in the day — “If her twin comes through, let her pass. No questions.” They had earlier been told how to differentiate the two of them, without her knowledge.He watched from the shadows as she slipped past them, dark coat wrapped tight, scarf covering the lower half of her face. She playe

The peppermint steam curled into the dim air, delicate and comforting. Emilia cradled the mug between both hands, her palms pressed to the warmth like she could absorb steadiness from it.But the nausea didn’t ease.She took a sip anyway, letting the mint settle on her tongue. Her stomach still felt tight, unsettled—not quite sick, not quite normal. The same strange fog had been hovering over her the past few mornings. She’d woken tired, a little dizzy, appetite gone. She’d chalked it up to stress—there was plenty of that to go around.Still, something about tonight felt... different. Her body felt off in ways she couldn't quite name.She shut her eyes, exhaling slowly. Just breathe.Behind her, the house stirred. Voices carried faintly through the halls—Luca giving instructions, men responding with crisp acknowledgments. The sound of planning. The sound of war.And she was here. In this room. With tea and shadows and the quiet suspicion that her own world might be changing, too—but i
Twinned lies Chapter 18
Emilia stepped quietly back into the bedroom, her feet bare against the polished wood floors. The door clicked softly behind her.Luca was at the window, shirtless, one hand braced on the frame as he looked out over the garden. The morning sun hit his shoulders, outlining the sharp definition of his back in golden light. He hadn’t heard her come in.She leaned against the doorway, arms folded, a smile tugging at her lips.“So,” she said, “how many people did you mobilize to find me?”Luca turned sharply, the tension in his shoulders melting the second his eyes landed on her. “Dio, don’t do that again,” he muttered, crossing the room in three long strides.She laughed, not bothering to move as he reached her. “What, disappear to the next room for half an hour?”“You weren’t in bed,” he said, exasperated but not unkind. His voice was low, still hoarse from sleep and maybe just a little raw from the fear. “And you didn’t say where you were going.”“You thought I ran off with Isadora?” sh
