Sylvia Lincolm is an orphan and a single mom who’s done everything to raise her five-year-old twin daughters on her own. Their life is simple but filled with love—and that’s all she’s ever wanted. But everything begins to fall apart when she crosses paths with the friends of Rome Hariston—the man who once promised her forever, only to break her heart and leave without ever knowing she was pregnant.

Rome’s friends notice the striking resemblance between him and the twins, stirring up questions Sylvia has tried to avoid for years. Now, with her past threatening to collide with her present, Sylvia must protect her daughters—and her heart—from the man who once left her behind… but might never let her go again.

The Mistress Who Ran Away With The Twins

"Sylvia, what are you doing? Open the door!"

Egypt asked curiously, as if she were waiting for me to answer and open the door for whoever was knocking.

I shut my eyes tight, overwhelmed by the situation.

What am I even supposed to do now?

My eyes shot to the floor where my phone had fallen earlier. I didn't even notice I hadn't picked it up. I quickly snatched it and saw a message pop up on the screen—it was from Alpheus.

I didn't know whether to feel relieved… or even more suffocated.

Rome will definitely start questioning why his friends are suddenly showing up—and the worst-case scenario?

One of them might slip and say something about the twins… or worse, the twins might end up meeting Rome, considering we're all in the same place.

I can't let either of those things happen.
