Twins of Deceit Chapter 9 The End of Scott Camden
Especially after learning that Scott had spent two whole weeks searching for Ysabel before finally showing up at my doorstep, my stomach turned.If he loved Ysabel so much, why hadn't he divorced me back then? I would have let him go.My words left him speechless. He hadn't expected me to know his every move, and the color drained from his face. "Colette, I—""Enough, Scott. I don't want to hear another word. Just don't ever come looking for me again.""But he's my son too!" he burst out. "Colette, you're always like this—so strong, so overbearing! I was exhausted, coming home from work, only to argue with someone just as stubborn as me. I wanted peace, a home that felt warm and gentle, not another battlefield. I wanted someone gentle—someone who could lean on me!"I turned to him. "If you want to fight for custody, go ahead. Take me to court. I'll be happy to face you there. But what do you have to compete with me? A job? Time? Which one can you actually promise?"Raising a chil
Twins of Deceit Chapter 8 No More Regrets
While Scott spoke, I kept my eyes on the window. Outside, the magnolia tree was in bloom—white petals swaying gently in the wind. It reminded me of when we first fell in love.Back then, Scott had been the very picture of romance. Every day, he'd surprise me with flowers or gifts, enough to make my whole office green with envy.I used to share the flowers among my coworkers, pass around the snacks he sent, and they'd tease me endlessly."Your boyfriend's spoiling you so much, Colette, that we're all benefitting from it!""He's so romantic—you're living in a fairytale!"Scott couldn't go anywhere without thinking of me. He wanted to be with me every moment, as if letting me out of his sight would be unbearable.When he proposed, he went all out. He rallied his friends for help and spent six months planning everything down to the last detail.That day, we'd just come out of the movies when strangers started walking up to me, each handing me a rose. One after another—until I was
Twins of Deceit Chapter 7 The Man He Became
On the day of the trial, Scott's eyes burned with hatred when he saw me. He shouted across the courtroom, "Colette Lively, we were once husband and wife! How can you be so heartless? Don't you care that our child will grow up being mocked for this?""When he grows up, and people talk about this, they'll say his father had an illegitimate child, and his mother swallowed her pride and stayed anyway. What do you think he'll feel then?"My retort silenced him. He knew I was right—I'd hit him where it hurt most. As a child, he'd lived through that same shame. His father had cheated, and his mother had spent years screaming and crying at home. His classmates used to laugh behind his back.I remembered how he once held me close and said, "Colette, that was my childhood. I loathe my dad. Why couldn't he think of me before he cheated? It took me years to pull myself out of that nightmare. I swear I'll never be like him."But he had turned out exactly like his father. Maybe some things rea
Twins of Deceit Chapter 6 No Mercy Left to Give
Scott was arrested the moment he walked into the hospital. It all happened so fast that he didn't even have time to make a phone call. Only after learning that I had filed charges against him for bigamy did panic finally set in. He immediately hired a lawyer and even summoned his parents, who lived in another city, to come and help.Since our wedding, I'd rarely seen my mother-in-law. We lived in different cities and only met during the holidays—always polite, always distant. But this time, when she arrived, she was oddly warm and eager.The moment she saw me, she handed me a thick envelope. "A gift for the baby," she said.I squeezed it—about ten thousand dollars, maybe more. She asked endless questions about my postpartum recovery, even thanked my mom for taking care of me. I couldn't tell what she was trying to do."Colette, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. I know you've suffered, but…" She hesitated. "Scott's making over a million a year now. Raising a ch
Twins of Deceit Chapter 5 The Double Life
Just as my dad was about to speak, I grabbed his arm. "Dad, I have faith in Scott. Let's give him one more chance."He froze for a moment, then shot me a look. "I swear, love has blinded you! Forget it—do whatever you want. Just don't come crying to me later!"He was furious, but I pulled Scott closer and said, "You've made your promise. But just to be safe, you'll have to write me a statement of guarantee—and transfer everything you own into my name. Otherwise, I won't have any peace of mind.""Alright—whatever floats your boat," Scott agreed hastily, doing everything I demanded.In recent years, his career had been thriving. He made over 800 thousand a year, plus bonuses, and his investments had paid off. He was flush with cash. Scott transferred three million to me in one go, and even the house was put entirely under my name, mine alone.After all that, he behaved himself. Aside from work, he came straight home every day and showed no other suspicious moves. The private investi
Twins of Deceit Chapter 4 Keep the Child But Not the Father
Almost immediately, Scott called. "Colette, what the hell are you doing? Didn't we talk before I left? I told you I'm working overtime!"I snorted dismissively. "Really? Since when did your office move to Building 28, Apartment 1306? Should I go up there and visit you now?"Scott fell silent, with no words to defend himself."I know everything, Scott. There's nothing left to discuss except divorce. You make me sick."I hung up before he could reply, blocked his number, and asked my lawyer to handle all communication from that point on. I didn't want to speak to him ever again.I hadn't even wanted to keep the baby, but I was already six months along. Terminating the pregnancy now would harm my body, and the baby was constantly moving, responding to my touch. I couldn't bring myself to end it. So I made up my mind—to keep the child, but not the father.…When I arrived at the hotel, my parents were already there. Seeing me with my swollen belly and tear-stained face, my mom flew
