The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 148
Kurtis POV Lyra’s trembling fingers tightened around mine as I held her close. Her warmth, her trust, it was everything to me. But tonight wasn’t about comfort. It was about strategy. I leaned down, brushing a soft kiss to her forehead. “Lyra,” I murmured, my voice firm but tender, “we’re going to fight this, but we need to play it smart. For now, you have to keep pretending we’re not together.” She pulled back slightly, her eyes widening. “What? Kurtis, why? I thought” I pressed a finger to her lips, silencing her gently. “I know, baby girl. But if James or Alice catches even a hint that you’re not under their thumb anymore, they’ll escalate. They’ll come at you harder. We can’t risk that.” She looked torn, her brows furrowing as her lips parted to argue, but I cut her off again. “Lyra, trust me on this. Let them think they still have control. Meanwhile, I’ll be working behind the scenes to tear their entire empire apart.” Her lips quivered, but she nodded, her voice bar
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 149
Angela’s POV The sunlight poured through my bedroom window, golden and soft, but it did little to ease the weight on my chest. I stared blankly at the ceiling, my thoughts a tangled mess. My phone buzzed on the nightstand, but I ignored it. I wasn’t ready to face anyone, not yet. The silence was suffocating, but it gave me nowhere to hide. Memories crept in, sharp and relentless, playing in my mind like a movie I couldn’t pause. Lyra and I, once inseparable. Lyra and I, laughing until we cried, wearing matching outfits, sharing dreams and secrets. Lyra and I. How had it come to this? I sat up, rubbing my temples as the past clawed at me.We were kids, maybe six or seven, sitting cross-legged on the living room floor. Mom had just finished making us matching blue dresses with tiny white polka dots. “Twins should always match!” she said, grinning as she held up the dresses. Lyra had squealed in delight, grabbing my hand and pulling me to the mirror once we were dressed. “Loo
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 1
Lyra's POV It was supposed to be a simple day, a meeting, an introduction, maybe even a new friend. But nothing with Angela ever turned out simple. I should have known better.Angela was always the wild one in my life. While I liked things to be calm and organized, she thrived on chaos. Growing up, I was the one with the organized bedroom, the color-coded calendar, and the carefully planned-out future. Angela? She was the girl who could throw together a killer outfit in five minutes flat, the life of every party, and the one who never seemed to worry about anything. She lived in the moment, always diving headfirst into whatever caught her interest, while I stood on the sidelines, watching, sometimes envying, but mostly cleaning up the messes she left behind.And yet, despite our differences, or maybe because of them, we were inseparable. She was the sun, and I was her shadow, always there, always following. I didn’t mind it, not really. Angela’s life was exciting, full of surprises
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 2
Lyra's POV Two weeks on this island, and everything had changed. What was supposed to be a simple favor for Angela had turned into something I couldn’t control. Every day, I felt myself falling deeper in love with Kurtis, and the guilt was eating me alive. I spent every moment with him, pretending to be Angela, laughing at his jokes, listening to his stories, and sharing moments that were supposed to belong to my sister. But the more time I spent with him, the more I realized that I wasn’t just pretending, I was genuinely falling for him. His smile, his touch, the way he looked at me like I was the only person in the world… It was all too much. But it was also a lie. Tonight was no different. We had spent the evening walking along the beach, the waves crashing softly against the shore, the sky painted in shades of pink and orange as the sunset. The warmth of the sand under our feet and the gentle breeze coming off the ocean created a moment that should have been perfect. But som
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 3
I walked back and forth in my room, trying to figure out how everything went so wrong. My mind was a mess of regret and confusion. How did I let it get this bad? I had no idea what Kurtis would do now, after finding out the truth. The last thing I wanted was to hurt him, but I had done just that. The knock on my door startled me. It was late, too late for anyone to be knocking, especially at this hour. My heart pounded in my chest, and I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead. I froze, unsure whether to answer or stay silent. Who could it be? What did they want at this time? Kurtis stood there, his face twisted in anger, his eyes wild with a pain I had never seen before. My heart sank. This wasn’t the man I had come to love; this was someone else entirely, someone consumed by rage and betrayal. "Kurtis" I started, but he cut me off, his voice cold and harsh. "Don’t you dare say my name," he snapped, stepping into the room and slamming the door behind him. "I can’t even look
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 4
Chapter 4The fight with Kurtis had been intense, both of us yelling over the storm inside. His anger felt electric, and I was caught up in it. When he stormed out, I knew I couldn’t let him go alone. I had to find him and try to make things right.I chased him through the pouring rain, the cold drops hitting my face. I could hardly see, but I followed the sound of his angry footsteps until I reached the beach. The wind howled around me, and the waves crashed hard against the shore. There, I saw Kurtis standing at the water’s edge, his dark figure outlined by the lightning.“Kurtis!” I yelled, my voice barely cutting through the storm. “Stop! You can’t do this!”He turned to face me, his face showing both rage and despair. I saw him clutching a small box in his hand before tossing it into the waves. My heart sank as I realized it was the engagement ring he had planned to use for a proposal.“No!” I screamed, darting towards the water. “Not the ring!” “What are you doing here? I told
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 5
Kurtis POVThe atmosphere outside my study was thick with anxiety. The maids and butlers moved about hesitantly, stealing nervous glances at the door but avoiding any attempt to come in. They knew better than to bother me while I was in this mood, especially after the argument with Lyra.When the knock finally came, I could tell something was seriously wrong. The maid who entered was visibly shaking, her eyes wide and her voice trembling as she spoke. The sight of her made my stomach churn. Whatever news she was bringing couldn’t be good.“Mr. Wellington,” she said, her voice barely a whisper. “I… I have news.”Her fear was clear. “What is it?” I snapped, trying to keep my frustration in check.“It’s Lyra. She’s been missing since this morning.”A rush of panic hit me. Lyra? Angela’s twin? I had been so caught up in my issues that I hadn't given Lyra a second thought. As soon as the words sank in, I jumped up from my chair, my heart pounding. My thoughts were spinning in a million dir
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 6
Lyra's POVI jolted awake, my heart racing. The dream I’d just had felt so real, Angela and Kurtis were standing under a canopy of flowers, their faces glowing with joy as they exchanged vows. The scene was beautiful, filled with light and happiness. But as I watched, a sharp pang of sadness pierced through me. I wanted Angela to be happy, truly I did, but the ache in my own heart was undeniable.I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of the dream. Angela’s voice, so full of joy and love, echoed in my mind. I whispered to myself, “Why does it have to hurt so much?”I tried to stand, but pain shot through my ankle. Wincing, I made my way outside, determined to check on the island. The staff were gathered, looking uneasy. One of the maids spotted me and quickly approached.“Miss Lyra! We’ve been worried sick,” she said, her voice trembling.“What happened?” I asked, my voice tight.“Mr. Wellington searched for you all night,” she explained. “He found you in a cave and carrie

Lyra POV As I looked at Kurtis' determined face, I knew he was up to fight, so I asked him again. “Kurtis,” I said softly, pulling back to look up at him. “What do we do now?”His arms tightened around me as if shielding me from the weight of the world. His eyes burned with unwavering determination, his voice low and steady. “We fight back,” he said.Before I could ask what he meant, he pulled his phone from his pocket, his fingers moving swiftly across the screen. The sound of each tap echoed in the silence, amplifying my nerves.“Kurtis, what are you doing?” I asked, my voice trembling with uncertainty.He paused for a moment, his gaze meeting mine, filled with resolve. “I’m calling someone who can help us. You’ve been running for too long, Lyra. That ends now.”He raised the phone to his ear. “Dpo,” he said firmly when the call connected, his tone sharp and commanding. “It’s time. Pull everything we have on James and Alice. I want every shred of dirt they’ve ever tried to bury. Ba

The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 145
Lyra’s POV The coffee shop had quieted down, the hum of the espresso machine and the occasional clink of cups the only sounds breaking the stillness. Kurtis sat across from me, his hands gripping his cup so tightly I feared it might shatter. His gaze was fixed on me, intense and unwavering, as if he were trying to peel back my layers and see straight into my soul. But I was already bare before him. “Lyra,” he said finally, his voice low, rough. “I need to know something before I go any further.” I swallowed hard, my heart pounding in my chest. “What is it?” His jaw tightened as he leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. “Are you still in love with me?” The question hit me like a freight train, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My hands trembled, and I clutched my cup as if it could anchor me to the earth. “Kurtis...” I began, but he cut me off, his voice firm and unrelenting. “No, Lyra. Don’t skirt around this. I need to hear it from you. Because if I’m
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 144
Lyra's POV I held my breath as Kurtis flung the door open, his presence a storm brewing in the doorway. James stood there, arrogance etched across his face, but even he faltered under Kurtis's fiery gaze. My heart thundered as I gripped Kurtis's arm, trying to hold him back from what I knew could escalate into something dangerous. “Kurtis, don’t,” I whispered, desperation thick in my voice. He ignored me, stepping forward, his towering frame blocking the doorway like a sentinel. “James, leave. Now.” James smirked, though it wavered. “This is between me and Lyra.” “No,” Kurtis said, his voice low and threatening, “this ended the moment you thought you could force her into something she didn’t want. I’m not letting you ruin her life anymore.” The tension between them was suffocating, and I knew if I didn’t intervene, things would spiral. “Stop!” I stepped between them, my palms pressed against Kurtis's chest. “Please, both of you, stop this madness!” Kurtis’s jaw was clench
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 143
Kurtis POV I paced the length of the living room again, my hands clenching and unclenching at my sides. The more I thought about Lyra, the more my frustrations turned into an unbearable ache. My heart wasn’t just heavy, it felt shredded, raw with every beat. The dream of her marrying James wasn’t just a figment of my imagination; it felt like a warning, like my soul already knew something I didn’t. The thought of her signing her life away to someone else made my chest tighten. My mind replayed every moment we’d spent together, every promise we’d made, and every touch that had once told me we were unshakable. But now? Now, everything felt like it was slipping through my fingers, and I was powerless to stop it. I couldn’t wait any longer. If I didn’t go to her now, I’d lose her for good. “Tomorrow is too far away,” I muttered under my breath, grabbing my car keys and storming out the door. The drive to her place was a blur. My grip on the steering wheel was tight, and my chest
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 142
Kurtis POV I paced the length of the living room, the soft carpet muffling my restless footsteps. My mind was a battlefield, torn between anger, confusion, and a raw, aching sense of helplessness. The image of Lyra signing that marriage certificate in my dream haunted me, her trembling fingers and the tears she couldn’t hide. I couldn’t shake it off. What if it wasn’t just a dream? What if it was a prelude to my reality? "Stop it, Kurtis," I muttered to myself, dragging my hands down my face. The walls felt like they were closing in, and the silence of the room was deafening. I needed to hear her voice, to have her tell me this was all in my head. Grabbing my phone, I dialed her number for the hundredth time this week. It rang and rang until her voicemail kicked in. *“Hi, this is Lyra. Leave a message.”* I clenched my teeth, frustration boiling over. I couldn’t even hear her say my name anymore. What was I supposed to do with this silence? Without thinking, I hurled the ph
The Wrong Twin's Kiss chapter 141
Kurtis POV I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the phone in my hands. The last message from Lyra was still there, short and cold, cutting through me like a knife. She’d told me she was getting married to James, just like that. No explanation, no chance for me to argue, nothing. She refused to answer my calls after that, her texts growing shorter and more distant until they stopped altogether. I couldn’t understand it. Lyra wasn’t the type to shut people out, especially not me. I asked her once, begged, even, why she was doing this. “Why leave me for him, Lyra? What does James have that I don’t?” Her response had been vague, her eyes clouded with something I couldn’t read. “It’s complicated, Kurtis. Please don’t ask me this again.” Complicated. That was all she gave me, leaving me stranded with a million questions and a heart that felt like it was being torn apart piece by piece. I leaned back against the headboard, exhaustion weighing on me. My mind couldn’t stop racing
