The rain didn't stop. It fell hard over the charred, blackened frame of Ward 4, washing away the smell of smoke and replacing it with the stench of soaked, burnt timber.

Search lights cut through the fog as firefighters dragged hoses through the mud. A reporter stood near the rusted iron gates, her voice echoing over a blaring news broadcast:

*"...the fire at St. Jude’s Psychiatric Institute has been contained. Local authorities confirm that the high-security unit suffered a complete structural

  • Twins He Chose Twice    Chapter 45: The Billionaire and the Broken Man

    The door to Isolation Unit B-2 opened with a soft hiss.Ethan Blackwood stepped inside alone. No guards. No assistants. Just him in a dark suit with no tie, his hands tucked into his pockets, his face unreadable.Marcus was awake.He lay flat on the hospital bed, his chest wrapped in thick bandages, IV lines running into his arm, a nasal cannula under his nose. His face was pale and hollow. His eyes were dark and sunken.He stared at Ethan.Ethan stared back.Neither of them spoke for a long moment. The only sound was the steady beep of the heart monitor.Then Ethan walked to the foot of the bed. He stood there, calm and composed, looking down at the man who had nearly died protecting the girl he had spent fourteen years searching for."Marcus," Ethan said.Marcus didn't answer.He just kept staring.Ethan pulled a chair close to the bed and sat down. He rested his forearms on his knees and looked at Marcus directly."I need to know everything about her," Ethan said quietly. "Everything

  • Twins He Chose Twice    Chapter 44: The Girl Who Walked Away

    The television screen flickered one last time before Luna pulled the cord from the wall.The image of her own face vanished.The room went dark.She stood there for a moment. Just breathing. Just listening to the silence.No news anchor. No sirens. No footsteps.Just her.Still alive.She lowered her hand.On the floor beside the cracked sink sat a small backpack. Inside it was a change of clothes she had stolen from a laundry line. A half-empty water bottle. And the silver pendant.Ethan's pendant.She pulled it out and held it in her palm.She stared at it for a long moment.Then she walked to the rusted sink. She lifted the loose floorboard beneath it. She dropped the pendant into the dark gap.It landed with a soft clink.She didn't cover the hole back up.She didn't need to.The girl who waited fourteen years for a boy to remember her was dead. She died in that fire too.Luna picked up the backpack. She slung it over one shoulder. She walked to the door.She pushed it open and stepp

  • Twins He Chose Twice    Chapter 43: Born from the Ashes

    The small, cracked television sitting on a dusty wooden crate in the corner of the room flickered with a cold, sickly blue light.Luna stood completely frozen in the center of the cramped, windowless space.She didn't move. She barely dared to breathe. Her eyes were glued to the glowing screen, her chest tightening so hard it felt as if a heavy iron band were clamping down around her ribs.The room smelled of damp concrete, old soot, and rust. It was cold, but a slick layer of sweat coated her forehead.On the screen, a news anchor in a sharp charcoal suit sat behind a polished glass desk. His face was blank, his posture stiff, and his voice echoed flatly against the bare walls of Luna's hideout.*"...we return now to our top story tonight,"* the anchor announced, adjusting a stack of papers on his desk. *"Patient Marcus Reed remains in stable condition in Isolation Unit B-2 at county general following the violent assault at his residence late Tuesday evening..."*The world seemed to

    Clara didn't answer right away.She stayed on her knees beside Marcus on the cold linoleum floor of Isolation Unit B-2, her hands firmly keeping his trembling arm still so his ripped IV line wouldn't tear his vein.The harsh, fluorescent light of the hospital room cast sharp shadows across her face.In the pale glare, Marcus could see the tightness in her jaw. Her eyes, usually so professional and composed, looked strangely hollow."Because I've seen this exact nightmare play out once before," Clara said softly, her voice barely louder than a whisper. "And I swore to myself I would never let it happen again."Marcus slumped back against the side of his hospital bed, his breath coming in ragged, painful gasps.A fresh wave of tears stung his swollen eyes. The muted news broadcast on the wall-mounted TV behind them was still looping the headline—*St. Jude’s facility Blaze Claims Life of Wanted Fugitive Luna Vance.*"What do you mean?" Marcus rasped, his throat raw from crying. "What nig

  • Twins He Chose Twice    Chapter 41: The Exposed Scars

    The cold concrete floor of basement level B-2 seeped right through Marcus's jeans.He slumped against the damp wall, his hands pressed hard over his face. Tremors ran through his entire frame, racking his shoulders with raw, ragged sobs.Clara knelt beside him on the filthy ground. She wrapped her arms around his shaking shoulders, pulling him tight against her."Shh... just breathe, Marcus," Clara whispered, her hand gently stroking the back of his head. "Just hold on. Everything is going to be fine."Marcus pulled his hands away, his eyes bloodshot and swollen as he stared at her in complete despair. A bitter, hollow laugh escaped his throat."Fine?" he choked out, his voice cracking violently. "How can anything ever be fine again, Clara? Look at what they're saying!"He gestured wildly toward the small tablet sitting face-up on a nearby crate. The glowing banner across the news channel still displayed the headline: *St. Jude’s Shelter Blaze Claims Life of Wanted Fugitive Luna Vance

  • Twins He Chose Twice    Chapter 40 — The Breaking Point

    The television hanging on the wall played quietly in the corner of the hospital room. A twenty-four-hour news channel was on, but the volume was so low that the words were barely audible. The pale light from the screen moved across the room as the nurse worked beside the bed.Clara stood near the IV pole, carefully replacing the empty saline bag. She had her clipboard in one hand, checking Marcus's latest vitals and making notes without paying much attention to the television behind her.Marcus lay still on the bed.For the first time in weeks, his mind felt clear. Without the heavy sedatives clouding his thoughts, he could think properly again. His eyes slowly moved toward the television.A red banner suddenly appeared across the bottom of the screen.**BREAKING NEWS.**Marcus's chest tightened.A picture of his own face appeared on the screen, an old and slightly faded ID photo from his days at the docks. Beneath it, bold words began scrolling across the screen.*SURVIVOR OF FIFTH S
