Caught In The Twin's Cruel Game

For three years, I was married to a lie. The man I loved, the man whose name I carried, wasn't my husband. He was his identical twin brother.

The truth shattered my perfect life on our anniversary. My real husband, Elliot, had swapped places with his volatile twin, Killian, all so he could be with another woman without the mess of a divorce.

I was just a placeholder in their cruel game. Elliot stood by as his lover burned my hand, while Killian wore his face, whispering promises he never meant.

But the final blow came when I found Killian's phone. In a group chat, he called me a "prize" he'd won from his brother, promising his friends they could have me once he was bored.

That's when my heartbreak turned to ice. I filed for divorce, took everything the pre-nup promised, and fled to London. I thought I was free, but now they've followed me, determined to reclaim their favorite toy.

So, when it came time to choose, the choice was easy. I chose Elliot. I chose the sun. I became Mrs. Claire Callahan, and for three years, I believed I had the perfect life.

Until tonight.

Our third anniversary. The scent of champagne and roses filled our penthouse apartment, a glittering jewel atop the Callahan tower. Elliot-my Elliot-had his arms wrapped around me from behind, his chin resting on my shoulder as we swayed to the soft melody playing in the living room.

His lips were warm against my ear, his breath a familiar, comforting caress. "Happy anniversary, my love," he murmured.

I turned in his arms, my hands finding their way to his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath the fine fabric of
