EDEN'S POV

The second I see Janice freeze in the lobby, something tightens unexpectedly inside my chest because she recognizes Lisa immediately, and for some reason I don't like that reaction nearly as much as I should.

"Interesting," Lisa says as we continue toward the elevators, and the amusement in her voice tells me she's paying attention to something.

I glance toward her. "What is?"

"The woman who looked like she wanted to either run away or throw something at me."

    EDEN'S POVOne Year LaterThe first thing I hear every morning isn't my alarm.It's Janice."Eden…... the pancakes."I open one eye."What about them?""They're burning."I close my eye again."They'll build character."She throws a pillow at my face."Get up."I laugh into the pillow."I thought we agreed you liked my cooking now.""I like surviving it."I finally sit up, rubbing sleep from my eyes, and immediately notice two toothbrushes standing together in the bathroom doorway.Same place, same habit.One year later.Some things never change.I smile before I even realize I'm doing it.Janice catches me."You're staring again.""At what?""My toothbrush.""I was remembering.""You've become sentimental.""I married you.""You really did.""I've never recovered."She walks over, wraps both arms around my waist and rests her chin against my shoulder."I don't want you to.""I wasn't planning to."She kisses my cheek."Good answer."Before either of us can steal another kiss, the bed

    JANICE'S POVThe first thing I hear on my wedding day isn't birds.It's Chan shouting."I refuse to accept those flowers!"Someone shouts back."They're roses!""They're positioned aggressively!"I sit up in bed laughing before I even open my eyes.Amanda walks into my room carrying a garment bag over one arm and coffee in the other."I see you're awake.""I think the entire hotel is awake.""Chan has declared war on floral arrangements.""Who won?"Amanda takes a sip of coffee."The flowers."I laugh again."You don't look nervous.""I haven't had time.""Oh, don't worry."She smiles far too sweetly."I'll fix that."She unzips the garment bag.The wedding dress appears.I stop breathing."Oh…..."Amanda's smile softens. "I know."I reach out carefully, running trembling fingers across the fabric."It's beautiful.""No."She gently squeezes my shoulder. "You are."An hour later the bridal suite is overflowing with people.Hair stylists.Makeup artists.Celine carrying pastries becaus

    EDEN'S POVThe DNA report sits inside the drawer exactly where I left it yesterday.I open the drawer, look at it and close it again.Behind me Janice laughs."You're doing it again.""I know.""You've opened that drawer three times.""I wasn't counting.""I was."I turn toward her.She leans against the kitchen counter wearing one of my hoodies while flipping pancakes with entirely too much confidence."You said it could wait.""I did.""You don't sound convinced.""I'm not."She places another pancake on Jack's plate before looking back at me."Eden.""Hm?""If you keep staring at that drawer, you're going to burn a hole through it.""I've burned other things.""The toast.""The toast was one time.""It was yesterday."Jack raises his hand."I'd like the court to know the toast was scary."I point my spatula at him."It built character.""It built smoke."Janice laughs so hard she has to grab the counter."He's right.""I live with traitors."Jack grins."We're family."The word set

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 57

    JANICE'S POVThe first clue that Eden has unofficially moved into my apartment isn't the suitcase.It's the toothbrush.I walk into the bathroom early the next morning, reach for mine, and stop.There are two.Mine and his, standing side by side like they've been roommates for years. I stare at them for a second before smiling to myself."Well." A sleepy voice drifts in from the hallway. "I was hoping you'd notice."I turn around. "You're awake.""Barely."He leans against the doorframe with messy hair, wearing an old T-shirt and looking so comfortable in my apartment that my heart quietly forgets how to behave."You left it on purpose.""I did.""You could've asked.""I was going to.""What happened?"He shrugs."I got distracted.""By what?""You."I roll my eyes."That was smooth.""It wasn't.""It really wasn't.""Can I try again?""No.""Fair."Before I can walk past him, he gently catches my wrist."So…...""So?""Can my toothbrush stay?"I pretend to think about it."I'll allow

  • Billionaire’s Twin Deception    Chapter 56

    EDEN'S POVThe DNA report sits unopened on the coffee table.Every time my eyes drift toward it, I look away again.Not today, today belongs to her.The first morning after she said yes deserves sunlight instead of questions.I slip quietly out of bed, careful not to wake Janice, but the second my feet touch the floor, she mumbles something into the pillow.“You're escaping."I freeze."I'm making breakfast."One sleepy eye opens."That's exactly what someone escaping would say.""I'm offended.""You should be."I laugh quietly."You've been awake this whole time?""No.""No?""I woke up when you stopped hugging me."That sentence almost sends me back into bed. Instead, I walk over, lean down and kiss her forehead."Five more minutes."She catches my wrist before I can move away."Bring coffee.""I was already planning to.""I know.""Then why ask?"She smiles without opening her eyes. "Because I like hearing you agree."I shake my head."I'm marrying a professional negotiator.""No."

    JANICE'S POVIt isn't Chloe's ring, it's mine.I stare at the small velvet box resting in Eden's hand while the ferry glides quietly across the water, and for several long seconds my brain refuses to catch up with what my eyes are seeing."Eden…...."He smiles nervously."I know.""No…... you don't.""I probably don't.""You definitely don't."He laughs under his breath."I had a speech.""You had a speech?""I practiced it.""For how long?""Three days."I blink. "You're serious?""I even timed it.""Oh no.""I forgot all of it."That makes me laugh, the kind that makes my shoulders shake.He rubs the back of his neck."I liked you better when you were crying.""I'm not crying anymore.""I noticed.""Now I'm laughing at you.""I also noticed."He opens the box.Inside is a simple diamond ring.Elegant and new.Untouched by anyone else's memories."I didn't buy this because I wanted to rush you," he says quietly, looking at the ring instead of me. "And I didn't buy it because I expect
