My Fiancé Favors My Twin Sister Chapter 08

After landing in Switzerland, I deactivated my old number and blocked Saskia.

Then I threw myself into work.

For ten years, my life had revolved around one person-Pierce.

He studied finance. I chased after him.

I memorized numbers I didn’t care about.

I told myself it was worth it-if it meant standing beside him.

But he never once discussed work with me.

Never offered a single piece of advice.

Yet he had time to drop everything and take Saskia to a concert two cities away.

For ten years, I followed behind them.

Never once living for myself.

So when the overseas transfer opened up, I took it without hesitation.

It was an escape. A rescue.

The only time I chose my own path.

Half a year passed.

Life abroad was hard-but it felt real.

No more overthinking.

No more wondering if I was good enough.

No more nights spent questioning my worth.

New friends saw me clearly.

They called me steady. Talented. Beautiful.

For the first time, I felt what it was like to be seen.

Autumn came.

Leaves fell. And my assignment ended.

I returned home for work.

I thought I’d never see Pierce again.

Until I visited my parents’ grave.

The sight stopped me.

The headstone was spotless.

Fresh flowers and offerings laid neatly in front.

I knew Saskia. She wouldn’t bother with this-she didn’t have it in her.

The caretaker approached.

“Miss, you’re finally back.”

“For months now, a young man has come every week-rain or shine.”

“He cleans the grave. Changes the flowers. Never misses a week.”

“Polite. Meticulous. More devoted than family, really.”

“Is he someone you know?”

I shook my head, confused.

Then I heard footsteps behind me.

I turned.

Pierce stood a few feet away. Flowers in hand.

When he saw me, he stepped closer, his eyes fixed on mine.

“Linnea. I knew you’d come back.”

“I looked for you everywhere. Where did you go?”
