AdrianI was running out of options. Sitting in my office, staring at the endless reports on my desk, I felt the weight of frustration pressing down on me. I had been trying to find Evelyn, searching every lead, following every possible clue, but I was hitting dead ends. It was like chasing a ghost. I ran a hand through my hair, my jaw tightening. There had to be another way. If I couldn’t find Evelyn directly, maybe I could start somewhere else, somewhere closer to home. Maybe Kelly’s family held the answers I was looking for. I leaned forward, opening a new search window on my laptop. I’d never paid much attention to the Brook family’s history before, but now, something told me I needed to. I started with Jadeline Brook, Kelly’s mom. But her records were relatively clean, business dealings, investments, a sharp mind for profit. There was nothing too suspicious, at least nothing that connected to what I was looking for. Kate Brook. I didn’t even need to dig much into her. H

Kelly The moment my fingers gripped the hospital doors, I pushed them open and stepped out into the night. Cold air hit my face, but it did nothing to steady my trembling hands. My breath came in short, uneven gasps as I tried to process what had just happened. He was free, and he had wasted no time letting me know. My phone was still in my hand, the message glaring up at me. I swallowed hard, my heart hammering against my ribs. I needed to call Adrian. My fingers fumbled as I pressed his name in my contacts. It barely rang twice before he picked up. “Kelly?” His voice was sharp, alert. “Are you okay?” I tried to speak, but my voice cracked. “He’s out.” A brief silence. Then, his tone turned lethal. “What did you just say?” I sucked in a breath, my grip tightening on the phone. “Davis. He won his appeal. He’s out. And—” My throat went dry. “He texted me.” Adrian’s breathing turned heavy. “What did he say?” I hesitated before reading it aloud. “Did you miss me, K

Kelly The waiting room felt like it was closing in on me. The cold, white walls. The sound of fluorescent lights. The lingering scent of antiseptic, none of it felt real. The security footage kept replaying in my head, frame by frame. A man in a hoodie. A wheelchair. My father disappearing into the night, he’s probably not covered. Adrian was pacing beside me, his fists tight at his sides. His face was stone cold, we were waiting for the police, but what would the police do more than tell us to wait. "I should've been here," he muttered. "I should've….." Then my phone buzzed. Unknown Number. My chest tightened. Before I even picked up, I knew. I answered, my voice low, shaking even. "Hello?” For a second, there was nothing. Then—a low dark chuckle. Air left my lungs immediately. That voice…..the voice I had hoped I'd never hear again. Davis….. “Hello, Kelly.” A violent shudder ran through me. Like ice crawling up my spine. My fingers tightened around the phone. "Wher

Kelly I didn’t think Kate could sink any lower. But I should have known better. The second I stepped into the house, exhausted and desperate for a moment to think. The unknown number called and Davis’s voice crackled through my phone. "You might want to turn on the news."A sick feeling twisted in my gut as I grabbed the remote. The second the screen lit up, I knew. Kate was Live on national television. While I was fighting for my life, Kate was organizing a live broadcast.She sat at a pristine white desk, microphone clipped to her expensive blouse, her expression composed, but her words? They were designed to rattle me, and it did."My father is missing. And my sister, Kelly Brook, is hiding him."My stomach dropped. Ever since I became a public figure, right from my singing days to my political career, I never mentioned to the public that I had a twin. It wasn’t public either, because Kate disowned me as her sister, and she never wanted it public either, so why now?The re

Kelly The world had turned against me. Kate had made sure of that. I sat in the living room, staring at the television screen as news anchors dissected every word of her press conference. Every accusation. Every lie. "Did Kelly Brook manipulate her father’s will?" "Could she be hiding him?""And what about the DNA test? Is she even his real daughter?" I tightened my grip on the remote, my fingers trembling. Kate had twisted everything. She didn’t just want to take the inheritance, she wanted to get rid of me. "Kelly." Adrian’s voice pulled me back. I turned. He was standing by the window, his jaw clenched, his posture slightly dull. He had been on the phone for the past hour, making calls, pulling every connection he had. But it wasn’t enough. Nothing was enough. And then, my phone vibrated. I flinched, heart hammering. Unknown number. "Davis." A chuckle. Slow. Taunting.. "You’re running out of time, Kelly."My stomach knotted. "Where is he?" "I love it when
