Why?

The word covered everything and nothing. Why the clothes. Why their bedroom. Why here, why now, why again, always again—

"Do you trust me, cara?"

Her heart. It was breaking into pieces all over again.

But this time...

This time...

Kendra had already decided.

And that's how she heard herself whisper, "Yes."

For one moment, Dario simply gazed at her.

She swallowed hard. "I trust you."

He yanked her close, his mouth crushing hers in a kiss that tasted like a vow, and when he lifted his head, every shattered piece of her heart had been put back together.

"There's something I need you to watch."

Her husband gently sat her down in front of the screens before he started typing again and they went a full hour back.

The lobby feed came first, and Kendra felt sick to her stomach at the way Thelma was just so confident in the way she pretended to be her, and even crying about losing her key and that was how she gained access to the penthouse apartment.

“They knew it wasn’t her,” Dario told her.

What? Then why—

“But we let her in because we wanted to see what she was up to.”

Dario played the living room feed next, and that was when she saw her twin start hiding cameras all over the penthouse.Why was Thelma doing these things?

She watched Thelma find the breaker panel—

Ah.

So that was why the power was out.

Kendra could feel her heart breaking all over again as her sister sauntered back to the bedroom she shared with Dario.

Her husband turned away when Thelma started to undress, but all she could do was stare. It was the worst kind of déja vu, watching Thelma slip into one of her nightgowns before smoothing it down.

I don’t understand.

Kendra only realized she was crying when her husband wiped her tears.

"I'm sorry," she managed. "I'm just so stupid. I don't know why she keeps doing this. And I just...I just can't make myself hate her and I don't want to, I'm sorry."

"You do not have anything to apologize for,cara."

"So you like me stupid?"

"Not stupid, but kind."

She was sure he still meant stupid, but it was adorable how her husband had changed, considering he had pretty much called her an idiot the first time they met.
