The One He Let Go Not truce, Not war
Kelly The room was silent with the weight of everything that had happened. Davis’s body was taken by the ambulance. Clara stood across from me, her face still. She had dropped the gun. And yet, she still looked at me like she didn’t understand. Like she couldn’t comprehend why I had stopped Lucian and Adrian from taking her away. “…Why?” Her voice was hoarse, barely audible. I held her gaze, my hands still trembling at my sides. “Because I know what it’s like to lose someone you love.” Clara inhaled sharply. I saw it in her eyes, the understanding that finally clicked into place. For so long, she had seen me as her enemy. As someone who had everything, while she had lost it all. But now, she knew the truth. I had lost just as much as she had. Maybe even more. And now, standing here, looking at the woman who had once been my confidant, my safe haven, my friend, I realized something else. We would never be those people again. The ones who used to laugh together

Author’s POV Susan had never been the type to dwell on the past. Life had been simple, sometimes unpredictable. She loved her parents, appreciated the life they had given her, and never questioned the things that didn’t add up. It started as something ordinary. A quiet afternoon spent helping her mother clean out the storage closet in their home. The scent of dust and old wood filled the air as Susan kneeled beside a worn-out cardboard box. "What’s in here?" she asked, brushing off the fine layer of dust covering the lid. Her mother, standing nearby, glanced over with a distracted expression. “Oh, just some old things from when you were a baby. Don’t worry about it.”But Susan did worry about it. There was something about the way her mother’s voice shaked, as if she wanted to move on from the topic too quickly. Curious, Susan carefully lifted the lid and peered inside. Small, folded baby clothes sat neatly stacked on top of each other, soft and faded from time. A yello

Author’s POVSomething was wrong. Susan couldn’t shake the feeling ever since she left Mrs. Kim’s house. Her mind kept circling back to the photo, the undeniable resemblance between her and Kelly, the way Mrs. Kim had hesitated when asked about it. And the hospital bracelet… None of it made sense. Could it really be a coincidence? A triplet? The thought was ridiculous, too far-fetched. But it disturbed her relentlessly. What if? What if she and Kelly were related? What if everything she knew about herself was a lie? What if?She sat in her bedroom that night, trying to scroll through the internet, her mind a chaotic mess. Her adoptive parents had always been kind, loving people, but they had never talked much about her adoption. Whenever Susan had asked if they knew about her birth family growing up, they had brushed it off with vague reassurances. "You were chosen, darling. That’s all that matters." It had always been enough. Until now. ….The next morning, Susan couldn’

Kelly Kate wouldn’t stop. Everywhere I turned, she was there, her voice sharp, her presence suffocating. "Do the test, Kelly. What are you so afraid of?" "If you have nothing to hide, then prove it." "I deserve that will. It’s mine by right." On and on, like a relentless kid. I was so tired. Not just of her, but of the way everything was spiraling out of control. The media was still on my back. My clothing company was hanging by a thread. The public doubted my very existence. And now, Kate was determined to tear apart the last thing I had left, my identity.I exhaled slowly, gripping my phone as Kate’s latest text glared back at me. K: I swear to God, Kelly, I will make you regret this if you don’t do the test. I clenched my jaw. Fine, If this was what it took to shut her up, then I’d do it. I didn’t care about the will, I had never cared. But if taking this stupid DNA test would silence the doubts, if it would make the Kate back off, then so be it. Besides… I needed

KateI should have known something was wrong the moment I stepped inside. Kelly was sitting at the head of the table, her expression unreadable. Susan was beside her, arms crossed, looking way too smug for my liking. And then there was the envelope. The DNA results, as she should. The air was filled with tension, but I didn’t care. This was it, the moment I’d been waiting for. I smirked, sauntering forward. "Well? Are you finally ready to accept reality?" Kelly didn’t react. She simply pushed the envelope across the table. "Kate… we got the results."My heart pounded. Finally.I grabbed the paper with shaking fingers, my eyes scanning the words eagerly. Then I stopped, my breath hitched. Everything blurred, I read it again. Then a third time, the words didn’t change. "No genetic match."I blinked. No…that wasn’t right. That couldn’t be right. My vision swam as I stumbled back, the paper shaking in my grip. "Where did you get this nonsense?." I asked, my tone sharp. I g

Susan I never expected a single envelope would change everything. For most of my life, I never questioned my place in this world. I knew I was adopted, but it never truly bothered me. My parents loved me, I had a good life, and any questions I might have had about my biological family faded as I grew older. But now, holding this DNA test in my trembling hands, I realize how naïve I was. This isn’t just about curiosity anymore. This is about identity. I stare at the words again. ‘99.9% Genetic Match – Kelly Brook and Susan (Birth Name Unknown): Identical Twins’Identical? Not just related. Not cousins. Not half-sisters. But twins. I stare at the envelope again, half expecting what I had seen to change, but it doesn’t.A shaky breath leaves my lips as my mind spirals. How did this even happen? How did I grow up thinking I was alone in the world when I had a twin all along? And the worst part? Kelly has no idea.My heartbeat pounds against my ribs as I fold the paper back into

Kelly I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting here. Currently, everything around me moves. It feels like I’m frozen in place. My thoughts are tangled, messy, impossible to sort through. Twins? I have another twin, like a real twin. Not Kate but Susan. It doesn’t feel real. I stare at Susan, half-expecting her to take it back, to laugh and tell me it’s all some sick joke. But she doesn’t. Instead, she hesitates, then reaches into her bag and pulls out something like a bracelet and….. A small, slightly worn photograph. The moment my eyes land on it, my breath hitches. Two baby girls, the same face. A chill crawls up my spine. I know this picture, I’ve seen it before.Mom used to show us, saying it was taken just a few hours after Kate and I were born. But now, looking at it again, my stomach churns. Something feels off. “This is…” I trail off, feeling the words choke in my throat. Susan watches me carefully. “That’s us.” Us??? The way she says it makes my skin prickle. My hands tr
Last Updated : 2025-03-12The One He Let Go Tell me everything
Kelly Susan and I sat in my living room, both of us still shaken from the discovery. The photographs lay between us on the coffee table. Looking at it from afar, I stilll can’t wrap my head on how real this keep getting. I thought maybe after some time, this all fades and something like this never happened. But each passing minute told me otherwise, no matter how much I wanted to run from this, I couldn’t, it keeps dragging me back. "When do you plan to confront her," Susan said, breaking the silence. I nodded, but I wasn’t naive enough to think we could just barge in and demand answers. Mrs. Kim had been in my life for years, and if she had been hiding something this big, she wouldn’t talk so easily. "We can’t just go in blind," I said. "She might deny everything." Susan frowned, her fingers tapping against her knee in thought. "Then we need more proof." "But how?" She hesitated. "Maybe through my adoptive parents. Or even old neighbors who lived closed to Mrs. Kim’s

The One He Let Go The fall of Kate and Evelyn
KellyThe air inside the police station was strained. I watched as Evelyn sat across from me, her wrists cuffed, her usually neat hair disheveled. The smug arrogance she once carried was gone, replaced by a hollow, defeated expression. She had no more tricks to play, no more lives to manipulate. Adrian sat beside me, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. Susan, on the other hand, stood rigid near the door, her fingers clenched into fists. Who would Evelyn call for help? Anderson? Lucian?Detective Harris, the lead investigator, leaned forward, voice steady. “Evelyn Grant, you’re facing charges of child abduction, falsification of medical records, and fraud. You can make this easier on yourself by cooperating.” Evelyn scoffed, tilting her head. “Cooperate? Do you have any idea what I did for this girls?” Her eyes snapped to me, then to Susan. “I gave you a life. I saved you.” Susan let out a harsh laugh. “Saved me?” She stepped forward, voice shaking with anger. “You stole my
The One He Let Go A Family torn apart
KellyAdrian exhaled deeply, his voice low and dangerous. “Evelyn Grant.” “We need to find her,” Adrian continued, his voice like steel. “This… all of this… everything she did, it ends now.” Mrs. Kim swallowed hard. “I don’t know where she is now. But back then… she worked at that hospital for years.” I clenched my fists. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Kim. We’ll find her.” If only Mrs. Kim knew the truth. If only she knew, that i already knew exactly who Evelyn Grant was.Mrs. Kim hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Let me know when you do.” Adrian pushed off the couch abruptly, his movements sharp and filled with restrained anger. “We will,” he said, his voice tight. I exchanged a look with Susan, who still seemed frozen, her expression a storm of emotions. She blinked, then met my gaze. “And what about Kate?” Adrian’s eyes darkened. “Kate’s house. That’s where we start.” I frowned. “Why Kate’s house?” Adrian slipped his phone into his pocket. “Think about it. If Evelyn
The One He Let Go Sorry isn’t enough
KellyMrs. Kim sat stiffly in her chair, she hadn’t talked for the past few minutes. Then she continued.“It was the night your mother, Jadeline, gave birth,” she began, her voice heavy with something between hesitation and sorrow. “She had complications, and your father was away on a business trip. I was just a housekeeper then, but your aunt, Madeline insisted I go with your mother to the hospital because she was sick and couldn’t go with her.” My fingers curled into fists. I could see it so clearly. My mother, weak and exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open. No husband at her side. No family except a housekeeper and the nurses attending to her. “She was in so much pain,” Mrs. Kim continued. “The doctors were worried about preeclampsia, and her blood pressure had dropped dangerously low. She was drifting in and out of consciousness when they took her to the delivery room.” A lump formed in my throat. Had she been scared? Had she thought she might not make it?Mrs. Kim ex
The One He Let Go Truth unfolds
Kelly Aiden’s birthday was just days away, and the house was busy with preparations. Balloons, cake flavors, decorations, Harper was insistent on picking everything herself. I mean it was her big brother’s birthday.“Blue and silver,” she had said with absolute certainty, hands on her tiny hips. “Because Aiden is cool, and those colors are cool.” It was crazy how two of my kids were born in the same month, just days apart. I should have been focused on all of that, should have been enjoying the moment. But instead, a different unresolved problem sat in my chest, the weight of a truth I wasn’t sure I was ready for.Three days. That’s how long it took before Mrs. Kim finally called. Her voice on the other end of the line was strained, like she had been thinking, debating.“Come over,” she said simply. And then she hung up. I didn’t waste time, neither did Susan. But when we got there, we weren’t the only ones. Adrian was already in the room. I wasn’t surprised though. He was by t
The One He Let Go Gentle confrontation
KellyWeeks had passed since Susan and I saw Mrs. Kim with Kate. The sight of them together had left a strange feeling in my chest, an unsettling weight that wouldn’t go away. I had always trusted Mrs. Kim, always thought of her as someone important in my life. But after everything I had discovered recently, I wasn’t sure I could ignore the possibility that she knew more than she let on. And then, just as I worked up the courage to ask her, she left. “I’m traveling to the countryside for a while,” she had told me casually over the phone. “I need some time away.” It felt like an excuse, like she was running from something. Maybe even running from me. But now she was back. Susan and I stood outside her door, the air filled with tension between us. I didn’t know what I was expecting, but I knew I couldn’t keep pretending like nothing had happened. I knocked. After a moment, the door creaked open, and there she was, Mrs. Kim, looking as if she had aged more overnight.She blink
The One He Let Go Giving in, but not completely
Lucian’s POV The rain had started hours ago, turning the streets slick with reflections of city lights. It wasn’t a violent storm, just a medium, persistent downpour, the kind that made people hurry indoors, seeking shelter in cafés and rushing in Mart to get umbrellas. I hadn’t expected to see her tonight. In fact, I had convinced myself I wouldn’t. For weeks, Olivia had avoided me. No calls, no accidental run-ins, she didn’t pick my call either. And yet, here she was. Standing under the awning of a small café, arms crossed over her chest, watching the rain with an expression I couldn’t quite read. She didn’t see me at first. I could have turned back. I could have kept walking and pretended I hadn’t noticed her. But I didn’t. Because avoiding each other had done nothing to change what was between us. And I was tired of pretending otherwise. She noticed me as I approached, her shoulders stiffening just slightly. Then, her gaze met mine. She didn’t move, nor acknowledge me. She
The One He Let Go Green eyed monster
Olivia’s POV The night was supposed to be uneventful. I had attended dozens of these high-class architectural gala’s before, polished affairs where people with too much money came to flaunt their wealth under the guise of charity. Normally, I could navigate them without a second thought. But then I saw him. Lucian. I hadn’t known he would be here, but the moment I spotted him across the grand ballroom, I felt my pulse shift into something irritatingly unstable. He stood near the entrance, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, scanning the crowd with the trained ease of someone who could see everything without looking like he was paying attention to anything. Because, of course, he was working security tonight. It made sense, an event like this required the best. And Lucian, with his quiet authority and sharp focus, fit that description effortlessly. I should have been fine. I should have been able to ignore him. Except, that I couldn’t. And it got worse when I saw her.
The One He Let Go The night that changed everything
Lucian’s POVI was halfway through a late-night report when my phone buzzed. I almost ignored it, expecting it to be one of my officers checking in on an old case. But when I saw the name on the screen, I straightened immediately. Olivia?She had never called me before. I answered without hesitation. “Olivia?” There was a pause, just long enough for me to hear the light sound of wind in the background. Then her voice came through, tight and controlled, but there was something off about it. “Lucian… I need a favor.” I was already grabbing my keys. …….The street was empty when I pulled up, just bushes, and the dim glow of a single flickering streetlight. Olivia stood beside her car, arms crossed, looking unimpressed. I parked behind her, stepping out into the cool night air. “This is a first,” I said, approaching with a smirk. “I didn’t think you believed in asking for help.” Olivia shot me a glare. “I don’t. But my car apparently does.” I glanced at the vehicle. “
The One He Let Go Close but not close enough
Olivia’s POV I shouldn’t be here. That thought had been running through my mind from the moment I stepped into the police station, the cool night air still clinging to my skin. But here I was, standing outside Lucian’s office at nearly eleven at night, hesitating. The building was almost empty, except a few officers finishing up paperwork. The hum of the vending machine down the hall was the only sound breaking the silence. I knew I should have gone home hours ago, but after what happened earlier tonight, home didn’t feel safe. Someone had been following me. At first, I thought I was imagining things. The paranoia of a long day, the residual nerves from the Davis case. But by the time I left work, I knew it wasn’t just in my head. Whoever it was, they were patient. Very careful. Keeping their distance just enough to make me doubt myself, but never so far that I couldn’t feel them lurking. I wasn’t the kind of person to panic easily. But tonight? I wasn’t taking chances. I t
