County General’s third floor smelled like bleach, rubbed alcohol, and stale coffee.

Luna stood in the stairwell landing, her back pressed against the cold cinderblock wall. She wore a pair of oversized light-blue surgical scrubs swiped from a laundry cart in the basement, her dark hair tucked tightly under a disposable hairnet. A pale blue surgical mask covered her face from the bridge of her nose down to her chin, leaving only her dark, resolute eyes exposed.

    County General’s third floor smelled like bleach, rubbed alcohol, and stale coffee.Luna stood in the stairwell landing, her back pressed against the cold cinderblock wall. She wore a pair of oversized light-blue surgical scrubs swiped from a laundry cart in the basement, her dark hair tucked tightly under a disposable hairnet. A pale blue surgical mask covered her face from the bridge of her nose down to her chin, leaving only her dark, resolute eyes exposed.Through the small glass pane of the stairwell door, she watched the hallway.Ethan’s private guards didn't look like hospital security. They wore dark suits, held earpieces tight to their collars, and stood with their feet shoulder-width apart outside Room 408. They were vigilant, their eyes sweeping every nurse, janitor, and visitor walking down the hall. There was no way to charm or force her way past them.Luna pulled a stolen plastic clipboard close to her chest, her blistered thumb running over the top edge.*I have to get

    The flash of the studio camera turned the air blindingly white.Inside the closed set of *The Evening Hour*, the quiet was heavy enough to drop a pin. Millions of screens across the country flickered with the live broadcast as the host adjusted her glasses, leaning forward toward the velvet couch.Ethan sat under the harsh studio lights, immaculate in a dark charcoal suit. His posture was military-rigid, his face smooth, unreadable, and perfectly composed. Beside him sat Aurora. She wore a high-necked navy dress with no jewelry, her dark hair pulled back simply, her eyes swollen just enough to look haunted without losing her fragile beauty.On the wall monitor across from them, the tape from the gala played on a silent loop: the black screen, the leaked audio, the sudden chaos."Mr. Blackwood," the host began, her voice dripping with serious, calculated sympathy. "Forty-eight hours ago, your Annual gala was shattered by a devastating broadcast. The public heard what appeared to be an

    The flashbulbs outside the Grand Imperial Hotel were blinding, cutting through the dark night like rapid gunfire.Dozens of reporters screamed over one another, shoving microphones past the barricades as security guards struggled to hold the surging crowd back."Aurora! Is it true you have a twin sister?""Did denied and never acknowledge your sister?!""Are you an imposter, Aurora?!"Aurora stumbled down the carpeted hotel steps, shielding her face with both hands. Her expensive white silk dress was wrinkled, her eyes red and wild with terror. She looked small, frantic, and entirely exposed.Ethan kept his hand clamped around her upper arm, his grip tight enough to bruise through the delicate fabric. His jaw was set like iron, his face a completely unreadable mask as he shielded her from the barrage of cameras.He didn't speak to the press. He didn't answer a single yelled question. He simply shoved Aurora into the back seat of his tinted SUV, slammed the heavy door shut, and slid in

    The rain over the city felt heavier now, washing the black ash from Luna’s skin, but it couldn't wash away the bitter cold settled deep inside her chest.She sat under the concrete overhang of a deserted alleyway, pulled deep into the oversized trench coat she had swiped from a clothesline three blocks back. Her boots were gone, leaving her feet wrapped in muddy rags. Her hands, covered in angry red blisters from the fire at St. Jude’s, throbbed with every beat of her heart.Every time she closed her eyes, she heard the roaring flames. She saw Mrs. Harlow’s quiet smile as the ceiling collapsed between them.*Live... don't let them win.*Mrs. Harlow’s last words echoed in the dark alley. Luna squeezed her eyes shut, pressing her forehead against her knees until her teeth clicked together. She wasn't just a girl framed for a crime anymore. She was dead to the world. On paper, her body was lying burned beyond recognition in a cold county morgue.She had thought Marcus was gone, too. The

    The penthouse living room was filled with clothes and noise.Glittering designer dresses sat on the couch next to thick jewelry catalogs and fresh white roses. Two high-end stylists stood near the mirror, adjusting a red silk evening gown over Aurora’s shoulders. She loved the attention. Ever since Ethan had publicly brought her into his life, her name was everywhere on social media. She was famous now, and she adored every single second of it."I think the back is a little too high," Aurora said, turning side to side in front of the mirror, her eyes sparkling. "The cameras at the gala are going to be everywhere, sweetie. I need to make sure everyone is looking at me."Ethan sat on the armchair across from her. His jacket was off, his tie was loose, and his face was completely blank.He wasn't planning a wedding. After everything he had learned about the missing scar and the forged papers, he wouldn't dream of putting a ring on her finger. But the Blackwood Annual Gala was two days aw

    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 collapse. Due to the rapid spread of the flames, officials report zero survivors from Ward 4. The victims are currently deemed unidentifiable..."*A few miles away, tucked beneath the cold concrete arch of a deserted highway overpass, Luna sat on the muddy ground.Her hospital gown was ripped, stained black with soot, and soaked through with freezing water. Her hands were blistered, raw, and bleeding from where she had pulled at the burning wooden beams to save Mrs. Harlow.Every time she close
