I spent the next few hours in a haze, my mind spinning with everything my twin had revealed. I couldn’t shake the sting of her words, especially about our parents. I had always thought they had just left me—never even considered there could have been another twin, someone abandoned in the shadows while I got everything. Her words echoed through my mind as I sat there, struggling to piece it all together.
It was when the door opened again that I finally made a decision.
There she stood, framed in the doorway, eyes narrowed, an air of superiority about her. But this time, something was different. There was no mocking smile on her face, no cruel laughter. It was as if the mask had slipped, leaving something raw and vulnerable in its place.
"How long are you going to keep pretending, huh?"
