All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Unexpected Twins: Chapter 51 - Chapter 58

I barely slept that night. The folder Marcus had given me remained open on my desk long after everyone had gone home. Cassandra Laurent. The name kept circling through my mind. I wanted to dismiss the possibility. I wanted to believe it was nothing more than an extraordinary coincidence. But the more evidence we uncovered, the harder that became. Adrian hadn't simply met Althea by chance. He had investigated her from the beginning. Her employment records. Her previous addresses. Her family history. Even information about the twins. Everything. And now, we were beginning to understand why. The following morning, the door to my office opened. Marcus stepped inside. This time, he wasn't carrying his tablet. He held a sealed envelope in his hand. The moment I saw it, something tightened in my chest. “Sir.” He walked toward my desk and placed the envelope in front of me. “What is that?” “The DNA result.” My eyes immediately lifted to his. “DNA?” Marcus nodded. “Ad

France had been quiet when I arrived. Not the kind of quiet that came from emptiness, but the kind that belonged to places where immense wealth had no need to announce itself. The estate I had prepared for Althea and the twins stood behind, imposing wrought-iron gates in one of France’s most prestigious private enclaves. It was surrounded by acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, ancient cypress trees, sculpted gardens, and a private stone driveway that disappeared into the property like a road reserved for royalty. The residence itself was breathtaking. It was a magnificent French château, built from pale limestone and designed with the grandeur of a centuries-old aristocratic estate. Tall windows stretched across the upper floors, framed by intricate stonework. Elegant balconies overlooked the gardens, while rows of warm lights illuminated the façade against the evening darkness. A private fountain stood at the center of the courtyard, surrounded by perfectly trimmed hedges

Ilang sandali pa sunod-sunod ng pumatak ang luha sa pisngi ko.Akala ko, darating ang araw na makikilala ko sila sa personal. Akala ko, may pagkakataon pa akong makita ang mukha nila, marinig ang boses nila, at maramdaman ang yakap nila.Pero hindi na pala darating ang araw na iyon.“Gusto ko silang makita...” mahina kong sabi, halos hindi lumabas ang boses ko.Pinunasan ko ang mga luha sa pisngi ko, pero mas lalo lamang itong dumami.“Gusto ko silang makilala, Adrian.”Nanginginig ang boses ko.“Gusto ko silang mayakap.”Napapikit ako nang mariin habang pilit na pinipigilan ang paghikbi.“Gusto kong marinig silang tawagin akong anak.”“Gusto kong malaman kung kamukha ko ba si Mommy... kung ano ang boses ni Daddy... kung paano nila ako inalagaan noong maliit pa ako.”“Ang dami kong gustong itanong sa kanila.”Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko nang sumikip iyon dahil sa sakit.“Pero hindi na pala mangyayari yon... “Bakit kailangan ngayon ko lang malaman ang lahat?” tanong ko sa pagitan ng p

Muli mas mabilis na naman lumipas ang mga sumunod na linggo kaysa sa inaasahan ko.Unti-unti, naging mas pamilyar na sa akin ang buhay na dati ay parang isang panaginip lamang.Mas sanay na akong tawagin ni Adrian bilang Cassandra. Hindi na ako napapakunot ng noo kapag naririnig ko ang pangalan ko mula sa kanya. Hindi na rin ako nakakaramdam ng kakaibang bigat kapag may ibang miyembro ng Laurent family na gumagamit nitoUnti-unti, naging bahagi na rin iyon ng pagkatao ko.Sa mga nakaraang linggo, mas nakilala ko pa ang pamilya ko. May mga pagkakataong may bigla na lamang tatawag sa akin para kumustahin ako, may mga pinsan na nagyayaya sa akin na lumabas, at may mga pagkakataong tahimik lamang akong nakaupo habang pinagmamasdan sina Kiel at Kian na masayang nakikipaglaro sa kanilang mga bagong kamag-anak.Minsan, hindi ko pa rin mapigilang isipin kung paano nagbago ang buhay ko sa loob lamang ng ilang buwan.Dati, ang pinakamalaking iniisip ko ay kung paano ko pagkakasyahin ang kiniki
