ZOE'S POV The room was darker when I woke up again. My panic had become a headache.When I woke up briefly earlier there was a man sitting beside me, he looked worried. He said he was Austin. The doctor also came in soon after. He asked me questions, shining a light in my eyes saying something about head injury and rest. Then I was left to sleep. But sleep hadn’t brought peace. It only made me feel emptier.Now I'm lying here trying to remember. Anything.Nothing came.Not my name. Not why I was here. Not the reason my hand was bandaged or my head felt like it had been cracked open and put back together. Everything felt… wrong.The door opened and I looked up.It was the man again—Austin. Same concerned eyes. Same calm voice. He smiled a little when he caught my eye.“You are awake now” he said quietly. “Good. Would you like to eat something now? You must be hungry.”I was silent. My mouth was dry and my throat hurt. I knew I had met him before. Not just here—maybe before the hospita

ZOE'S POV I looked up as the door opened. Austin stepped in and closed the door quietly. Something in his eyes changed. His smile was gone. He looked tense, eyes scanning the room. I sat up straight. “Is everything okay?” I asked carefully. “Did you see her? The woman from earlier?” He paused. Just for a heartbeat. But I caught it. “She looked so much like me” I said softly. Austin sighed deeply and sat down looking worn. “She looked like you,” he repeated, running a hand over his face. “Because she is… your twin sister.” I blinked. “My… what?” “Your twin,” he confirmed gently. “Her name is Chloe.” I got confused. A twin sister? Why hadn’t anyone mentioned her before? Why hadn’t she come in to see me if she was really my sister? “Why didn’t she come in?” I asked in a whisper. “She just stood at the door watching me…” Austin gritted his teeth again. He looked me in the eye. “Because you and Chloe… don’t exactly have the best relationship. We’ve all been through a lot because

ZOE'S POV “What’s that?” Austin asked, voice low but pointed.I froze.He saw. Or he suspects.I forced another smile. “Just… the pillow was lumpy. I was adjusting it.”He paused and looked at me intensely.Then he gently moved hair from my face. “I want you to feel safe Zoe. I'm here. Jamie’s here. You don’t have to be afraid anymore.”I nodded.But as his hand stayed longer, his touch was more than just comforting—it was also possessive.“I brought you some tea. It will help you sleep.” He said softly. “Thank you” I whispered. My heart was still racing but I forced a calm breath. He was kind. Reassuring. His voice was so warm. I wanted to believe him. Maybe I should.But I kept thinking about that night at the hospital.The way Chloe stood at the door, the look in her eyes. And the way she had said Austin is lying to you.“Try and get some rest,” Austin continued, “Drink the tea, it’ll help you relax. I’ll be back later.”I nodded, watching him walk out.When I was sure he was go

AUSTIN’S POV “Who is Owen?”I dropped the glass.I looked at her. My blood turned cold.“What… did you just say?” My voice was barely audible.She looked at me curiously. “I just… I keep hearing that name in my head. Owen. It feels… important.”I couldn’t speak. Her words hit hard.I haven't heard that name in a while. But suddenly it was back. It was the way she said it like she had been waiting to.I put the spoon down and forced a laugh. “Where did that come from?.”Zoe stared at me blankly. “I'm not sure. I just can't get that name out of my mind.”I tilted my head, keeping my cool. “Owen’s a common name, babe. Could be anyone.”She didn’t look convinced. “But it felt... familiar. Like I knew him.”I hated the way my heart was racing. I held her hand and smiled softly. “You’re still healing Zoe. Your mind’s probably mixing things up. Maybe he was someone we knew casually before the accident.”I saw a spark in her eyes. Not quite doubt—but not full trust either.“I just want to kn

AUSTIN’S POV “This isn’t over Austin!” Chloe yelled at the top of her lungs as the officers pulled her to the car.I didn’t blink.I stood smiling, hands in pockets. Let her yell. Let her curse. This scene was exactly what I had hoped for. And hearing those last desperate words only made her fall from grace all the more delicious.She had no idea how easily she would walk into the trap.The burner phone was my trump card. I never planned to use it for anything other than keeping it out of Zoe’s reach, just to control the narrative and to keep her from hearing more of Chloe’s poisonous lies. But as I watched Zoe distanced herself from me, I knew hiding the phone wasn't enough. I needed to be sure.So when the idea struck to use the phone to lure Chloe into a trap—I didn’t hesitate. I sent a short message asking to meet. Chloe, hungry for control, took the bait. The rest unfolded beautifully. Police were already tracking her movements thanks to the pending charges. She showed up expe
