On The Wrong Bed; The Twin Brother's Secret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 98

SEASIDE♦♦♦♦Eleanor stood in front of the mirror in her room, staring at her reflection for a long moment after the call ended. Lewis’s voice still echoed faintly in her ears. His request had been brief, almost too brief, and the place he had chosen for them to meet felt oddly specific.... the seaside. It wasn’t a place they usually met, and the thought stirred a faint uneasiness in the pit of her stomach. Still, she brushed it aside with a quiet sigh.She opened her wardrobe and reached for something simple. After everything that had happened recently, she had little patience for anything elaborate. A pair of fitted black pants and a plain round-neck top would do. The fabric hugged her figure comfortably, and she quickly tied her hair back into a loose ponytail. Her movements were efficient but distracted, as if her mind were wandering somewhere she couldn’t quite reach.“Why the seaside?” she murmured to herself quietly.The villa was silent around her, the kind of quiet that usual

♦♦♦♦Morning sunlight filtered gently through the hospital window.Eleanor stirred slowly in the bed, her eyelids fluttering open as consciousness returned.Her body felt heavy and sore, but the steady beeping of medical equipment confirmed she was safe.A hospital room.She attempted to sit up.Pain shot through her muscles immediately.“Easy.”A strong arm quickly reached out to support her.The deep voice vibrated softly beside her.“Are you okay now?”Eleanor blinked slowly and turned her head.Her eyes met his.“Lewis?” she whispered.He nodded quietly.The familiar aura surrounding him confirmed it even before he spoke again.Relief washed over her face.“How… did you find me?” she asked weakly.Lewis’s expression softened slightly as he helped her sit comfortably against the pillows.“It doesn’t matter,” he said simply. “You’re here now.”Before she could say anything else, he pulled her into a tight embrace.His arms wrapped around her with a firmness that spoke volumes. For t

♦♦♦♦Vanessa’s scream pierced through the hall as she lunged for the phone, her trembling fingers trying desperately to stop the video playing on the screen.“Stop it! Stop it!” she shrieked, her voice cracking with panic.But it was too late.The video had already begun spreading across the devices in the room. One by one, screens lit up, reflecting the same horrifying footage. The sound echoed faintly as the recording continued to play, exposing everything she had tried so hard to bury.On the screen, Vanessa appeared in a dimly lit hotel room.Not alone.Nicholas was there.And another man.Her stepfather.The room fell into stunned silence.Shock rippled through everyone present as they watched the unmistakable scenes unfold.... moments of intimacy and betrayal that should never have existed. Gasps broke out among the onlookers, some turning their faces away in disbelief while others stared with wide, horrified eyes.Vanessa’s entire body trembled violently.“No… no… this isn’t re

♦♦♦♦A month had passed since Eleanor had vanished from the chaos that had consumed her life, since she had closed the door on the Hales, on Lucas, on Lewis, and on everything that had once felt familiar yet dangerous. The world felt quieter now, though the quiet was uneasy, a fragile peace balanced on the edge of the past she refused to revisit.She sat alone by the lakeside, her fingers grazing the surface of the water with absent-minded rhythm. The lake reflected the fading light of the afternoon sun, turning the ripples into shards of molten gold. Birds called somewhere in the distance, and the wind whispered through the trees, but Eleanor didn’t notice the beauty. She stared straight ahead, her back rigid, her expression unreadable, a mask she wore as protection against the world and against herself.A sigh escaped her lips, heavy and tired. She hadn’t cried in weeks, hadn’t allowed herself the weakness, yet the emptiness pressed against her chest relentlessly. She missed him. Sh
