All Chapters of THE CEO’s HIDDEN TWIN HEIRS: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The pen lay on the glass table between them like a loaded weapon, and Evangeline could not stop staring at it.She had read the heading twice. Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. The words refused to arrange themselves into anything that made sense, because they could not possibly mean what they appeared to mean. Not after three years. Not from the man she had given everything to."Say it isn't what I think it is, Dominic." Her voice came out steadier than her hands. "Tell me I'm reading it wrong."Dominic Voss did not look up from his phone. "You're the law student. You tell me." There was no heat in his voice, no cruelty she could grab hold of and fight. Only boredom, which was infinitely worse. He spoke to her the way a man speaks to a stranger who has wandered into the wrong office.That indifference was what broke the dam."I am not stupid, and I won't let you make me feel that way." She set both palms flat on the table to keep them from shaking. "I know how to read a petition.

Camille did not answer. She turned her face into Dominic's shoulder and let out a thin, frightened sob."Make her stop, Dom. Please. She's scaring me.""Enough, Evangeline." Dominic's arm tightened around the trembling woman. "You've signed the papers. There's nothing left here for you. What more do you want?"Evangeline laughed.It was a terrible sound — not amusement, but the noise grief makes when it has nowhere left to go — and it stopped as suddenly as it began. In the silence that followed she moved faster than any of them expected.The slap landed across Camille's cheek with a crack that rang off the high ceilings.The room erupted in gasps. Camille's hand flew to her face and she stared up at Evangeline, so genuinely shocked that she forgot, for a moment, to keep crying."Evangeline!" Dominic was on his feet, towering, his fists clenched white at his sides, fighting visibly to keep himself from doing something he couldn't take back.She did not give him the chance to find his

Five years later, the arrivals hall of the city's largest airport churned with travelers, and through the noise of it walked a woman who turned heads without trying.She wore a charcoal coat cut sharp at the shoulders, dark sunglasses pushed up into chestnut hair, a leather case rolling smoothly behind her. But it wasn't the clothes. It was the way she moved — unhurried, certain, like the floor belonged to her.Almost no one would have recognized her as the trembling girl who'd fled this same country in the rain. Evangeline Hart had gone away broken and come back forged. Five years abroad had made her one of the most feared attorneys to ever walk into a courtroom. The softness hadn't left her; it had simply learned to wear armor.A hand tugged at her coat."Mommy, is this really where we live now?"She looked down at her daughter and felt the familiar pull behind her sternum. Two children walked at her sides, and they were the whole of her heart.Theo, older by a handful of minutes, h

The light was bright enough, blinding his eyes. However, it was also not strong enough for him not to see that there was someone, and it was not just anyone, but a woman with blonde hair falling behind to her waistline. Her long white gown, which was close enough to be tagged as a wedding dress, revealed her back, which he could equally tag as familiar enough to him. Dominic paused for a moment to look around him. Where was he? The question played out loudly in his ears. Everywhere was empty - no houses, no trees, just a land covered with green grass and a streetlight, which he guessed was what gave off the bright light. Now his attention was back on the young lady. Surprisingly, she hadn't moved yet. Her stance was still rooted firmly to the ground. "Hello," he finally called out to her. "It's late. Don't you think you should be getting into wherever you came from?" he continued to say when he didn't get a response on his first attempt. However, the young lady remained

"I do not have any plans of accepting such an invitation," Evangeline voiced adamantly.It was the next day, but she still couldn't get the thought of the invitation she had received out of her mind. Not because it had the power to trouble her. Rather, it was because she couldn't believe their audacity. After all they did to her. "I knew you were not going to accept it the moment I received it too," Alejandro opened up in all sincerity. He drew out the chair across from her at the dining table, where she sat, and joined her.As her assistant, he was meant to receive every court invitation for her to represent clients as a lawyer. He was, however, surprised to find out that they had equally sent one to her directly.To his knowledge, they truly need her. "I might not be aware of your entire history with the Voss family, but might I remind you that this is business? We do not mix emotions with business," Alejandro began to say as he watched his boss intently. Her look was a complete c
