POV: Richard

I watched Emilia freeze in the doorway, and for a few seconds, neither of us moved. She looked like she'd been caught doing something she hadn't expected me to know about, and maybe that was exactly what had happened. I leaned back against the couch, keeping my face calm even though I'd spent the entire evening replaying everything I'd discovered about her and Adrienne.

“How long have you been seeing him?” I asked, keeping my voice surprisingly steady as I watched her slowly clo

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 103 — THE OFFER

    POV: Emilia I found Camila exactly where I expected her to be, sitting alone at a corner table with a coffee in front of her like she hadn't spent the last few days turning my life upside down. I stood near the entrance for a moment, watching her laugh at something on her phone. She looked completely relaxed, and that calmness immediately made me suspicious. “You knew I was coming,” I said, pulling out the chair opposite her and sitting down without waiting for an invitation. Camila slowly placed her phone on the table, lifted her coffee, and took a small sip before looking at me. She didn't look surprised, which only confirmed what I'd already suspected. “I had a feeling you'd eventually come looking for me,” Camila replied, setting her cup down carefully as she studied my face. “You're not the type to sit quietly when something doesn't make sense, Emilia. That's one of the things I've always found interesting about you.” Her casual tone made my skin crawl because she sounded lik

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 102 — CAMILA

    POV: Camila I knew Justin had become a problem the moment I heard Emilia had been asking questions. He had always been easy to control because he needed money, but desperate people eventually became unpredictable. I sat inside my car across from the club, watching employees come and go, waiting for Justin to finish his shift. Tonight, I needed to remind him who had the power. When Justin finally stepped outside, I got out of my car and waited beside the entrance. He stopped when he saw me, his expression immediately changing. “We need to talk,” I said, crossing my arms as I watched him approach. He glanced around nervously before following me toward the quieter side of the building, already knowing this conversation wasn't going to end well. “You've been talking,” I said, keeping my voice low as I stared directly into his eyes. “Don't bother denying it because Emilia already knows about the payments. What I need to know is how much you told her, and whether you gave her anything t

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 101 — THE MONEY TRAIL

    POV: Emilia Janet's warning stayed with me as I sat inside my car, staring at the club entrance. Someone had been paying Justin regularly, and suddenly every strange thing he'd done made more sense. I called Janet again, and she walked me through the transactions, showing me how the money had moved through different accounts before finally reaching Justin, making the trail almost impossible to follow. “So the money didn't come directly from one person?” I asked, staring at the notes Janet had sent while my fingers tightened around my phone. “You're telling me whoever hired Justin deliberately moved everything through several accounts first, which means they didn't want anyone tracing the payments back to them.” The thought made my stomach twist harder than before. “Exactly,” Janet replied, her voice becoming quieter as she studied the records again. “There are too many layers between the original source and Justin's account, and some of these accounts don't even appear to belong t

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 100 — THE WRONG SUSPECT

    POV: Emilia I read the message again, hoping the words would somehow make less sense the second time. They didn't. Someone was telling us to stop looking at Richard and start looking closer to home. I wanted to believe it was another trick, another attempt to make me suspicious of everyone around me. But something about the message refused to leave my mind. “This could still be Richard trying to throw us off,” I said, looking at Adrienne across the room while keeping my phone tightly gripped. “He knows we're already suspicious, and maybe he's trying to make me think someone else is behind this so I'll stop looking at him.” I hated how uncertain I sounded, but nothing about this situation felt simple anymore. Adrienne shook his head, leaning against the edge of his desk as he studied the photograph again. “Maybe, but Richard shouldn't know some of these details,” he replied, tapping the screen with one finger before looking back at me. “The person who sent this knows when you've be

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 99 — THE THREAT

    POV: Adrienne Emilia called me the next morning, and the second I heard her voice, I knew something had happened. She sounded tired, like she hadn't slept much, and there was a strange hesitation between her words. I left my office and closed the door behind me, already bracing myself for whatever she was about to say. I didn't expect Richard's name to be the first thing out of her mouth. “Richard knows about us,” she told me, her voice quiet as she stood somewhere on the other end of the call. “He knows we've been seeing each other, he knows I've been coming here, and he knows enough that I'm scared of what he might do next.” My entire body went still. I gripped the edge of my desk and stared through the windows at the city below, barely noticing the traffic moving along the streets. “What exactly does he know?” I asked, keeping my voice controlled as I reached for my phone. “And before you tell me not to do anything stupid, I'm warning you right now, Emilia, because if that man

I leaned back against the couch, keeping my face calm even though I'd spent the entire evening replaying everything I'd discovered about her and Adrienne. “How long have you been seeing him?” I asked, keeping my voice surprisingly steady as I watched her slowly close the distance between us. “Don't bother lying to me, Emilia. I'm not asking because I suspect something. I'm asking because I already know, and I want to hear what you're willing to admit to my face.” Her mouth opened, but nothing came out. She looked toward the hallway, then back at me, and I could see the panic beginning to settle in. I didn't raise my voice or move toward her. I'd learned a long time ago that people revealed more when you gave them enough silence to become uncomfortable wi
