Twins He Chose Twice Chapter 70 — The Call
The cemetery was cold.Winter had settled over the small Russian town like a heavy blanket, coating the headstones in frost and turning the ground hard as stone. The sky was gray, the kind of gray that promised more snow before the day was done. Bare trees lined the gravel path, their branches scratching against each other in the wind.Dimitri Volkov stood at the edge of the grave, his black coat pulled tight around his shoulders, his breath rising in thin clouds before his face. He had not moved in twenty minutes. Not since the priest had finished. Not since the mourners had left. Not since the men who had come to pay their respects had retreated to the cars, leaving him alone with the freshly turned earth.His brother's name was carved into the stone. Mikhail Volkov. Beloved son. Beloved brother. Taken too soon.Dimitri stared at the letters.Mikhail had been twenty-three. The youngest. The one who still laughed. The one who still believed there was good in the world. Dimitri had tr

The penthouse was quiet. Ever since Aurora had been back.She had been unpacking, of folding clothes she had worn in Italy, of hanging dresses in the closet and arranging shoes on the She took a long showers,eat alone at the dining table,staring out the window at the city she had left behind.Two days of waiting for Ethan to come home.He hadn't.He had not called. He had not sent a message. He had not even asked the housekeeper if she had eaten. He had simply disappeared into the city, into whatever he was doing, into whatever he was planning, and left her alone in the penthouse with nothing but the silence.She told herself it didn't matter. She told herself she was used to the silence. She had spent years living in the shadow of people who ignored her, years learning to be invisible, years perfecting the art of being alone in a room full of people.But this was different.This silence was not indifference. It was punishment.She finished her dinner and carried her plate to the kitc

Margaret's restaurant was busy like any other.Luna tied her apron around her waist and stepped behind the counter. The regulars were already there. Mr. Willington wanted extra pepper. The schoolteacher wanted tea with very little sugar. The old mechanic complained about the price of everything but still ordered two plates.Luna served them all with the same small smile she had been wearing for months. She took orders. She carried plates. She wiped tables. She laughed at the football argument near the window. She looked like Selena.She felt like a ghost.Margaret was in the kitchen, moving between the stove and the counter, her hands never still.she stopped and patted her pockets."Selena."Luna looked up from the table she was wiping."Yes?""I forgot my reading glasses at home. The small ones. On the table beside my bed.""I can get them."Margaret hesitated. "You don't have to. I can send one of the boys.""I need to walk anyway," Luna said. "My legs are stiff."Margaret smiled. "
Twins He Chose Twice Chapter 67 — The Arrest
Detective Rowan arrived at the precinct just after seven in the morning.He found Harrison already waiting in his office, sitting in the chair across from his desk with a leather briefcase on his lap. The two men had spoken on the phone twice in the last twenty-four hours. They had agreed to meet early, before the day shift started, before anyone could ask questions.Rowan closed the door behind him and sat down."You're Blackwood's man," he said.Harrison nodded. "I am.""And you have evidence.""A lot of it."Rowan leaned back in his chair. "Show me."Harrison opened the briefcase. He placed a stack of documents on the desk between them. The first was the original toxicology report from County General. The second was the falsified report, signed by Dr. Aris."These are the medical records from the night Marcus Reed was attacked," Harrison said. "The original report shows traces of a sedative. The falsified report shows nothing. Same patient. Same night. Two different results."Rowan

The private jet touched down just after midnight.Ethan stepped off the plane without waiting for Aurora. He walked across the tarmac, his coat pulled tight against the cold wind, and climbed into the waiting car. Harrison was already behind the wheel."Where?" Ethan asked."A hotel outside the city. They're waiting for you."Aurora caught up to him just as the car door closed. She stood on the tarmac, her hair blowing in the wind, her eyes confused and hurt."Ethan, wait. What's going on?"He didn't answer. He turned to the driver."Take her home. She stays there."The driver nodded.Aurora grabbed the door handle. "Ethan, please. Just tell me what's happening."Ethan looked at her for a long moment. His face was unreadable."I'll be back later."He rolled up the window.The car pulled away, leaving Aurora standing alone on the tarmac.---The hotel was small and quiet, the kind of place people went when they didn't want to be found. Harrison parked around the back, and Ethan walked thro

The penthouse in Florence was beautiful.Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the Arno, and in the evenings, the sunset painted the river gold. The furniture was antique, the marble floors polished to a shine, and the staff moved quietly, as if afraid to disturb the silence that had settled over the place.Ethan Blackwood stood by the window, a glass of whiskey in his hand, watching the river below. He had been standing there for almost an hour. The ice in his glass had melted long ago.Behind him, Aurora sat on the sofa, pretending to read.She had been pretending a lot lately.It had been six months since they arrived in Italy.Six months since Ethan looked at her on that rainy night in the penthouse and told her he knew the truth.Seven months since the gala, since the broadcast, since the entire world learned that Aurora Vance was not the hero they thought she was.Three months since he stopped touching her.She turned a page she had not read."I spoke to the lawyers today," she said
