Melissa Kingsley thought her life was already complicated enough.
Between fame, Ethan Clarke, and the weight of her choices, she barely had room to breathe.
But then they walked into her life.
Two brothers. Identical.
And both utterly fascinated by her.
It started at a high-profile industry event Melissa was trying to navigate the chaos, smiling through interviews and dodging invasive questions about her love life.
And then, out of nowhere
"Melissa Kingsley, right?"
She turned.
And froze.
Standing before her was Jaden Parker—smooth, confident, flashing a smile that could probably melt glass.
"I—uh, yes?" she stammered.
Jaden grinned. "Good. Because my brother and I just decided something very important."
Melissa blinked. "Your brother?"
And just like that, another figure stepped up beside him.
Jordan Parker. Identical. Equally charming.
"Jaden talks too much," Jordan said, flashing an equally devastating smile. "But yeah he's right. We've officially decided that you're the most interesting person in the industry."
Melissa choked on her drink.
Tasha, watching nearby, whispered, "Oh. My. God. Twins?!"
Melissa didn't have time to process this.
Because suddenly Jaden and Jordan were both looking at her like she was the most captivating thing in the room.
And just like that her love life had officially entered chaos.
The problem?
Melissa was still trying to figure out where she stood with Ethan Clarke.
And now, she had two new admirers complicating everything.
Jaden was bold, flirtatious, confident, always ready with a challenge.
Jordan was smoother, thoughtful, intense, offering glances that lingered just a little too long.
And Ethan?
Well, the moment he saw them talking to Melissa, his jaw tightened noticeably.
"What's the deal with them?" Ethan asked, leaning against the café counter after one particularly charged interaction.
Melissa rolled her eyes. "Why do you care?"
Ethan exhaled sharply. "They're annoying."
Melissa smirked. "Or maybe they're competition."
Ethan's eyes darkened.
Melissa felt her stomach flip.
Because suddenly this wasn't just about fame anymore.
It was about feelings she couldn't ignore.
Melissa had three options:
Ethan Clarke—her past, her first love, the boy who had never fully let her go.
Jaden Parker—electric chemistry, spontaneous, someone who could challenge her in all the best ways.
Jordan Parker—steady, intense, the kind of guy who could see through her even when she was trying to hide.
Three paths.
One heart.
And only one choice.
Melissa Kingsley thought she had time to figure out her feelings, time to process the whirlwind that had become her life.
She was wrong.
Because now?
She had three men. Three paths. And no idea what to do.
Vanessa had noticed her distraction.
"You need to focus, Melissa," she said, flipping through a list of upcoming commitments. "The industry doesn't wait for love stories."
Melissa sighed. "It's not a love story."
Vanessa raised an eyebrow. "Three men? Sounds exactly like a love story to me."
Melissa groaned. She hated that Vanessa had a point.
It didn't take long for things to escalate.
One moment, Jaden was flirting with Melissa, effortlessly charming.
The next, Jordan was pulling her aside, eyes intense, voice lower than usual.
"You know he's reckless," Jordan murmured. "You need someone who actually understands you."
Melissa swallowed. "And you think that's you?"
Jordan held her gaze. "I know it is."
Her heart slammed against her ribs.
Because Jordan wasn't playing games.
He was serious.
Just when Melissa thought things couldn't get more complicated, Ethan Clarke re-entered the battlefield.
Melissa was mid-conversation with Jaden when Ethan appeared looking irritated.
Jaden smirked. "Oh look, the ex."
Ethan crossed his arms. "Oh look, the problem."
Melissa groaned. "Not now."
Ethan ignored her. "Are you really buying into this?"
Jaden chuckled. "Funny you suddenly care now."
Jordan, meanwhile, had stepped closer watching Ethan like he was sizing him up.
Melissa realized, too late, that she was standing between three men who refused to back down.
And that's when things exploded.
One moment, Melissa was watching the tension build.
The next thing Jaden pulled her into a kiss.
Right there, in front of everyone.
It was impulsive. Electric. The kind of kiss that sent shockwaves through her body.
And when she pulled back?
Ethan's jaw was clenched.
Jordan's expression was dark.
And Melissa?
She had officially set off a war.
Melissa had to choose.
But how do you choose between the past, the thrill, and the steady fire?
One heart. Three men.
And no way to avoid the fallout.
Melissa Kingsley's life had officially spiraled into chaos.
One kiss from Jaden had set off a firestorm.
Jordan had walked away, angry.
Ethan had stayed, but his silence spoke volumes.
And Melissa?
She was lost.
Jaden was unapologetic.
"You needed a push," he told her, flashing that infamous grin.
Melissa sighed. "A push into complete madness?"
Jaden laughed. "You can call it madness, but I call it chemistry."
Melissa ignored the way her heart raced when he said that.
Because right now?
She had bigger problems.
The twin who had been so steady, so intense—was now avoiding her entirely.
Melissa found him outside the next day, hands shoved in his pockets, his usual warmth gone.
"You kissed him," Jordan said bluntly.
Melissa exhaled. "I didn't expect it."
Jordan studied her. "You didn't stop it."
She swallowed hard. "I..."
"Don't." Jordan cut her off, eyes flashing. "You already made a choice."
Melissa watched him walk away.
And for the first time she felt the weight of losing someone before she even had the chance to have them.
Ethan had always been calculated. He never reacted too strongly, never let his emotions spill over.
But when Melissa saw him again, something was different.
"You're quiet," she said, forcing a weak smile.
"I'm thinking."
Melissa sighed. "About?"
Ethan tilted his head. "About whether I should be fighting for you or letting you go."
Her breath hitched.
Because deep down, she wasn't sure if she wanted him to stay
Or if she was afraid of what would happen if he finally walked away.
Melissa was tired of running.
She had three men pulling her in different directions.
But it was her heart that needed to decide.
No more hesitation.
No more avoidance.
Just one truth.
And she was about to face it head-on.
Melissa Kingsley had spent too much time avoiding the truth.
But now?
She couldn't run anymore.
She had three men standing at different crossroads in her life.
And she had to decide.
The night air was crisp, cold enough to remind Melissa that reality wasn't something she could ignore forever.
She stood outside her hotel, staring at her phone.
Ethan.
Jaden.
Jordan.
Three numbers. Three choices. One heart.
She exhaled sharply.
Then she sent one text.
And waited.
Melissa sat at the quietest café she could find, hands wrapped around a warm drink, her nerves spiraling.
Footsteps.
She looked up heart slamming against her ribs.
And there he was.
The one she had chosen.
His gaze was intense, like he had been waiting for this just as much as she had.
Melissa swallowed. "I don't want to run anymore."
He sat down across from her, expression unreadable. "Then don't."
Silence.
And then her confession...
