Author’s POV

Something 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 One He Let Go   Outside

    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

  • The One He Let Go   Black and white

    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

  • The One He Let Go   Proof in pictures

    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

  • The 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   Late night confession

    Kelly I sat across from Adrian in the hotel room, my hands folded together as I tried to gather my thoughts. The room was quiet, save for the light hum of the air conditioner, but my mind was anything but…here.We had decided to meet here, away from the house, away from the kids. I didn’t want Harper or Aiden waking up in the middle of the night and overhearing things that weren’t meant for her ears. Adrian sat back in the chair, arms crossed over his chest, watching me carefully. He hadn’t said much since we checked in, just studied me like he knew something big was coming. I swallowed, gripping my fingers tighter. “I found something.” His brows pulled together. “What do you mean?” I took a slow breath. “About Susan. About Mrs. Kim. About… my past.” Adrian leaned forward slightly, his gaze locked onto mine. “I’m listening.” So I told him everything. I started with the DNA test, watching his expression shift as I explained the results. How Susan and I were sisters. Not

  • The One He Let Go   Moment of peace

    Kelly I woke up happy. Not just from the physical warmth of Adrian’s body beside me, but something deeper. Something I hadn’t felt in a long time. I felt secured.I shifted slightly, my bare skin brushing against his, and the memory of last night flooded back. The way he touched me, the way he….i pushed the memory back as I caught myself blushing. I turned my head, watching him in the early morning light filtering through the curtains. His face was relaxed, his breathing slow, his arm lazily draped around my waist like he had no intention of letting go. A small smile tugged at my lips. For once, things felt… okay. But the peace didn’t last. My phone buzzed on the nightstand, shattering the moment. I groaned, stretching my arm to grab it. Susan’s name flashed across the scream. Adrian stirred beside me as I answered. “Morning,” I mumbled, my voice still thick with sleep. “Get up.” Susan’s voice was sharp, urgent. “I found something.” I sat up immediately, my heart rate s

    Kelly Everything had been leading to this moment. And now, Susan and I finally had enough. Enough to confront Mrs. Kim. We sat in Susan’s car, parked a safe distance away, watching through the windshield as Kate stood outside a café, talking with Mrs. Kim. I couldn’t hear them, but their body language told me plenty. Kate’s arms were crossed, her face tight with frustration. Mrs. Kim, as composed as ever, gestured lightly, her expression unreadable. Susan clenched the steering wheel. “I knew it. Kate knows something we don’t” I swallowed hard. “The real question is… does she actually know?” Susan exhaled sharply. “We need to find out.” I nodded, my stomach twisting. We’d uncovered enough to demand answers. The DNA results. The inconsistencies in Susan’s adoption. The testimony from Nurse Helen. And now, this….Kate still in contact with Mrs. Kim, despite everything. It was time. I reached for my phone, scrolling through the files Susan and I had gathered. “Once we

  • The One He Let Go   The end

    Dear Readers, I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of Kelly’s story. Writing this book has been an emotional rollercoaster, and I know many of you have felt the highs and lows just as deeply as I have. Kelly’s journey wasn’t easy, there was pain, heartbreak, and moments where it seemed like happiness was out of reach. But through it all, she found strength, love, and a future worth fighting for. To everyone who stuck by this story, who cried, laughed, and rooted for Kelly, Aiden, Adrian, and even the complicated characters like Anderson and Kate, thank you. Your love and support mean everything. Though this book has ended, Kelly’s story will always live on in our hearts. And who knows? Maybe one day, there will be more to tell. But for now, I hope this ending brings you the closure and warmth that Kelly fought so hard to find. With love and gratitude, MOONCHILD.

  • The One He Let Go   Epilogue: The real wedding

    Kelly The sun is warm against my skin, the sky a perfect colour of blue. A soft breeze carries the scent of roses and fresh-cut grass. The sound of distant laughter and murmured conversations fills the air, blending seamlessly with the soft notes of a violin playing somewhere nearby. It’s perfect. Everything about this day feels surreal, like stepping into a dream I never dared to imagine. A real wedding. Not a hidden ceremony. Not a desperate attempt to silence rumors. Just love. I close my eyes for a brief moment, taking it all in. The gentle rustling of the trees. The faint sound of conversation. The quiet presence of everyone who matters. Adrian’s family is here. After months of resentment and distance, they came. His mother, his father, Olivia, both watching with cautious but genuine smiles. Susan is here, standing with them, her expression warm, proud. And in the distance, I see Aiden straightening his suit, looking nervous and determined at the same time. Harper,

  • The One He Let Go   New beginning

    KellyNine months. Nine long, exhausting, emotional months. And now, I’m here. In a hospital bed, drenched in sweat, gripping Adrian’s hand so tightly that I’m sure I’ve cut off his circulation. My body feels like it’s being torn apart, and yet, I push. “Just a little more, Kelly!” the doctor encourages. Easy for them to say. They aren’t the ones feeling like their body is being split open. Adrian leans close, his lips brushing my forehead. “You’re almost there,” he murmurs, his voice steady, calming. “I’ve got you.” Tears sting my eyes. I don’t know if it’s from the pain or the overwhelming feeling that this moment is actually happening. And then, a sharp cry fills the room. My breath catches. The world seemed to stop. The doctor lifts a tiny, wriggling body into the air. “It’s a girl!” A sob escapes me. I collapse back against the pillows, my whole body trembling. Tears slip down my temples as I hear my daughter’s first sounds. I did it. She’s here. Adrian presses a

  • The One He Let Go   Silent mercy

    Kelly The morning is cold, the kind of D.C winter chill that seeps through the layers of your clothes and lingers deep in your bones. I clutch my coffee cup tighter, trying to soak in the warmth as I step out of the café. The city is alive as always, cars honking, people hurrying past, lost in their own worlds. And then I see her. At first, I didn't recognize the figure crouched near the side of the building, wrapped in an oversized hoodie, the fabric frayed at the edges. Her hair is tangled, falling over a gaunt face. Her fingers, red from the cold, clutch a small cardboard sign. ‘Hungry. Please help.’My breath catches. Kate. She’s thinner than I remember. A shell of the woman she once was. She sits with her knees pulled close, gaze darting to every passerby, but no one stops. No one even looks at her. And I realize, this is what rock bottom looks like. For a long moment, I just stood there. Then, before I can talk myself out of it, I move. She doesn’t notice me at fir

  • The One He Let Go   Mending what’s broken

    Kelly It happens on a quiet afternoon. Adrian and I are sitting on the couch, Harper curled up between us, absentmindedly flipping through a picture book while Adrian scrolls through emails on his phone. It’s peaceful. And then, I see his posture stiffen. I glance at him. “What’s wrong?” His brows are furrowed, lips pressing into a thin line as he reads whatever message is on his screen. For a long moment, he doesn’t answer. Then, finally, he exhales, setting the phone down on his thigh. “My parents,” he says, rubbing his jaw. “They want to talk.” I blink. I wasn’t expecting that. “Talk… as in?” “As in dinner. A sit-down conversation.” He shakes his head slightly, as if he’s still processing it himself. “They sent an invitation. No conditions. Just… a request to see me.” I can’t tell if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. His parents and I became a sore subject, one of the few places where his love for me had cost him something. I know how deeply it hurt him when they rej

  • The One He Let Go   The final goodbye

    KellyThe call came in the middle of the night. I wake up to the sound of my phone vibrating on the nightstand. My first thought is that it’s Adrian, maybe he’s checking in from the living room where he sometimes falls asleep after reading. But when I grab my phone and see Susan’s name glowing on the screen, my stomach twists. I answer on the second ring. “He’s gone,” she says softly. Two words. Just two words, and for a second, I feel absolutely nothing. I sit there in the dark, the phone pressed to my ear, my mind blank. I should have expected it, Anderson’s health had been failing, and yet… hearing it, knowing it’s real, knowing there will never be another word, another regret-filled gaze, it’s different. Susan stays quiet, as if she knows I needed a moment. Then, like a wave finally crashing, it hits. A sharp, aching weight pressing down on my chest. My throat tightens, my vision blurs, and before I can stop it, I let out a small, choked sob. I feel Adrian shift be

  • The One He Let Go   Goodbye that’s long overdue

    KellyI grip Aiden’s hand tighter as we walk down the hallway, past closed doors and nurses who barely glance at us. His fingers clutch mine, his other hand curled into a fist at his side. I wonder if he’s nervous. If he regrets coming. Because I do. I swallow hard as we stop outside Anderson’s room. The door is slightly ajar, but I don’t move. Aiden looks up at me, uncertain. His dark eyes are searching, waiting for me to give him permission to go inside. I force myself to nod. “Are you ready?” He hesitates, then nods back. I push the door open. And we stepped. Anderson looks… different. His skin is pale, almost gray under the harsh hospital lights. The strong, confident posture he once carried is gone, replaced by sunken shoulders and frail limbs tangled in hospital sheets. But his eyes, the sharpness in them, the smug curve of his lips, that’s still him. His gaze drifts past me, landing on Aiden. And his smirk, despite everything, still appears. “Thanks for coming.” Hi

  • The One He Let Go   The past catches up

    Kelly The call came in the middle of the night. My phone buzzes against the nightstand, dragging me from sleep. I blink, groggy, confusion heavy in my head as I fumble for it. Adrian stirs beside me, mumbling something unintelligible before rolling over. I don’t recognize the number. But the moment I press the phone to my ear, Susan’s voice, low and weighted with something different fills the silence. “Kelly, I’m sorry for calling so late.” I sit up instantly, dread curling in my stomach. “What’s wrong?”A beat. Then….“It’s Anderson. He doesn’t have much time.” The words don’t sink in right away. My fingers tighten around the phone. “What do you mean?” Susan exhales. “His condition worsened tonight. The doctors don’t think he’ll make it much longer. If you—” She hesitates. “If Aiden wants to see him, it has to be soon.” The room feels colder. I glance at the clock. 2:17 AM. The world outside quiet by this moment. But my body knows. My body feels the shift, I felt goo

  • The One He Let Go   A child’s, A mother’s regret

    KellyHarper was avoiding me. It wasn’t like the usual tantrums when she was upset over bedtime or not getting a second helping with ice cream. This was different. It had been days now, long enough for the silence to settle like a weight in my chest. She wouldn’t sit next to me at breakfast. Wouldn’t let me brush her hair. Wouldn’t even look me in the eyes when I spoke to her. But she clung to Adrian. If Adrian walked into a room, she was at his side in seconds, grabbing his hand, leaning against him, giggling at every little thing he said. She held onto him like he was her safe place, like she was afraid of something. Or someone. And that someone was me. I didn’t know what I had done. But I knew it was breaking me. ……It was bedtime when I finally couldn’t take it anymore. Adrian had just tucked Harper in, but instead of curling into her blankets the way she usually did, she turned away from me when I walked into the room. I swallowed the hurt and sat on the edge of her be
