Familial Bond Romance 網路小說與 Protective Twist 故事

Elena Hart buried both her parents in the same month—and buried her future with them, until a desperate offer promised to save it. Forty-five thousand dollars to carry a stranger's baby. One signature, and her final year of nursing school was paid in full. She thought she understood the risk. But what she didn't know was that the money came with a hidden puppet master, a buried lawsuit, and a family secret bigger than any contract could cover. When a devastating diagnosis threatens to unravel everything, the couple who begged her to carry their miracle vanishes without a word—leaving Elena to raise the daughter they abandoned, completely alone.

When the Whitfields resurface to take Zuri back, the court orders a DNA test. But It doesn't just clear Elena's name. It proves the daughter Ethan Cross has been quietly falling for wasn't a stranger's child at all.

“Give me your hands,” he ordered, coldly. I froze, watching him loosen his tie as he walked closer. Something about him felt… off. Mean. Distant. My throat went dry, but I gave him my hands anyway. He gripped my wrists—tight enough for my pulse to throb under his fingers. He wrapped the tie around them and pulled, dragging me up the bed like an animal on a leash. My back hit the headboard. Before I could react, he tied the other end of the tie to the frame. Then he reached for the veil on the nightstand. “What are you doing?” I asked, heart racing. He didn’t answer….just placed the veil over my head like I was a doll. “Making sure I don’t see your face and wish it was hers,” he said, unbuttoning his shirt. I blinked. “Hers?” He leaned in. His jaw clenched. “Your twin sister,” he said. “I wanted her. Not you.” His words felt like someone yanked the floor right under me. “I should be with her,” he added cruelly. “Loving her. Worshiping her. Not stuck with a knockoff pretending to be my wife.” I couldn’t breathe. My hands fought the tie, but it was useless. I was trapped, veiled and bound. Lucian didn’t want me. He wanted ‘her’ instead. —------------- Losing her clinic was devastating. Facing eviction was worse. But accepting a mysterious nursing job? That was desperation at its finest.
