His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 27: The Threat
Aurora's POVI returned to my bedroom after barely escaping the chaos following the gunshot in the west wing, my heart still racing wildly from the narrow escape and the adrenaline coursing through my veins. I locked the door behind me with shaking hands, closed the heavy curtains tightly to block out any prying eyes, and removed the folded ledger page I had managed to grab from inside my coat pocket. My hands were filthy with dirt and dust from crawling through the tunnel. The old paper smelled strongly of damp stone, old ink, and the faint trace of smoke. I spread it carefully across my desk under the warm glow of the lamp. The page was badly damaged, with entire sections missing or burned away. But several names, dates, and figures remained visible enough to study. I realized immediately that I couldn’t understand its true meaning or importance alone.A soft, careful knock came at my balcony door a short while later. I tensed instantly, grabbing the nearest heavy object for defens
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 26: The Ring of Promises
Aurora's POVI slowly turned toward Alexander in the dim, shadowy light of the grand library, my heart hammering loudly in my chest. He stood completely motionless in the doorway like a statue, his intense eyes fixed unwaveringly on the antique silver ring still clutched tightly in my hand. Neither of us spoke for several long, tense seconds. The silence between us felt heavy, dangerous, and filled with unspoken accusations.“Do you know whose ring this is?” I asked, my voice steadier than I actually felt inside.Alexander didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he quietly asked, his tone carefully controlled and measured, “Where did you find it, Aurora? Tell me the truth.”I refused to answer directly, holding his gaze without flinching even though my pulse was racing. For the first time, our silence felt exactly like a strategic chess match where every single word and movement mattered immensely. Alexander eventually spoke again, his voice low and filled with clear warning. “Some things
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 25: When Answers Seems to be Appearing
Aurora's POVI stared down at the small leather notebook in my trembling hands, the single name written on the final page burning itself into my memory like a brand that would never fade. *Catherine Hawthorne.* I slowly lifted my gaze to Aridian, searching his face for answers. His reaction frightened me more than the name itself. He was unnaturally pale, almost ghostly in the dim light of the hidden study. Completely silent. Visibly shaken in a way I had never witnessed from the usually confident and dangerous man.“Who is she?” I asked, my voice barely rising above a whisper in the oppressive silence of the secret room.There was a long, heavy silence that stretched uncomfortably between us for what felt like an eternity. Finally, Aridian spoke, his deep, rich voice low and strained with emotions he clearly didn’t want to show. “The only person they feared more than me in this entire family.”I immediately pressed him for more details, my curiosity and fear mixing together. “What
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 24: A First Real Clue
Aurora's POVI and Aridian stood frozen in the dusty, narrow hallway, staring at the closed wooden door in stunned silence. Neither of us moved a muscle. Neither of us dared to speak. The only sound breaking the heavy tension was our own ragged breathing in the stale, musty air of the west wing. The brass key still felt warm in my trembling hand from the moment it had turned smoothly in the lock just moments earlier.“There was someone in there,” I whispered finally, my voice barely audible even to my own ears. “I saw the hand. It moved. I’m sure of it.”Aridian nodded slowly, his sharp eyes never leaving the door as if expecting it to burst open at any second. “I know. I saw it too. Whoever it was, they’re still in there. Or they want us to think they are.”I refused to walk away now that we were so close. Not after everything we had risked to get here. I stepped forward boldly and pounded on the heavy wood with my fist. “Hello? Who’s in there? Answer me!” No response came from the o
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 23: The Figure in the West Wing
Aurora's POVThe loud crash echoed through the abandoned west wing like a sudden gunshot shattering the heavy silence. I froze in place immediately, my flashlight beam trembling slightly in my unsteady hand. For several long, agonizing seconds, there was nothing but complete, oppressive silence. My mind raced frantically with terrifying possibilities. What could have caused that sound? Falling debris from the decaying ceiling, an animal scurrying through the ruins, or something far more dangerous and intentional?I seriously debated turning around and running back to the relative safety of the main house, but a powerful mix of curiosity and sheer stubborn determination kept me rooted. Gripping the flashlight even tighter until my knuckles turned white, I forced myself to move cautiously toward the source of the disturbing sound. The dark corridor stretched endlessly ahead of me, broken windows allowing cold night air to whisper eerily through tattered, moth-eaten curtains that moved
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 22: The Builder's Mark
Aurora's POVI locked my bedroom door with a decisive click, the sound sharp in the heavy silence of the night. My fingers were still shaking slightly from the thrill and terror of the latest discovery with the brass key. I moved quickly around the room, turning off every single light except for the soft glow of the bedside lamp, which created a small, intimate pool of warm illumination in the otherwise dark space. I sat cross-legged on the large bed, heart racing as I held the brass key up to the light source and began to slowly rotate it between my fingers with deliberate care.The tiny dark stone embedded in the hawk’s eye cast a faint but clear projected symbol onto the opposite wall. As I changed the angle and turned the key gradually, the symbol shifted its position across the surfaces. It wasn’t random at all. This mechanism was clearly designed to align with something very specific in the mansion. I grabbed my notebook and a pen, sketching every single variation of the project
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 5: Beneath the Lies, We Still Said I Do
Aurora's POV Aridian’s last words echoed through the chapel like a death sentence: “Ask Alexander why he really wanted me gone all these years.”Shock froze the entire venue. The beautiful hall, once filled with joyful murmurs and the sweet scent of roses, now vibrated with stunned silence broken
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 4: The Twin's Objection
Aurora's POV The words hung in the air like a thunderclap. “I object.”The entire venue fell into a deafening silence. Hundreds of guests, dressed in their finest attire, froze mid-whisper. The beautiful church hall, adorned with cascading white roses, pink accents, and twinkling fairy lights, s
His Bride on His Twin Brother's Bed Chapter 3: The sin I carried to the altar
Aorura's POV I stumbled out of that cursed room, my floral gown hastily pulled over my still-trembling body. The fabric felt heavy against my flushed skin, clinging to the sweat and evidence of my betrayal. My legs were unsteady, every step sending echoes of Aridian’s powerful thrusts through my

Aorura's POVMy blood turned to ice as the horrifying truth slammed into me. My fiancé’s twin brother lay in my bed, his lips already curving into a slow, wicked smile as he watched shock and terror spread across my face.I gasped, scrambling backward under the sheets, my heart hammering wildly ag
