Brayden's POV

It was mid-afternoon, and normally, I’d be trying to decide if I wanted to get a sandwich for lunch. But instead, I was leaning back in my chair, pen in hand, letting the ink scrawl across the page of my sketchpad.

Across from me, Gwen was perched on my desk like she owned it, swinging one leg idly as she devored a croissant. She didn’t seem to care that she was getting crumbs everywhere, or that her fingers and mouth were stained with the chocolate filling.

She was narrating some convoluted story about her weekend; something about a canceled spa appointment and a friend’s birthday party. But I was only half-listening to what she was saying. Because on the paper, Larissa’s face was taking shape.

Not the Larissa the media talked about. Not the one the socialites loved to gossip about. Not the one in the courtroom sketches with her jaw tight and eyes hard.

No. This was the Larissa I saw. The one I knew.

The one with her hair piled messily on top of her head. The one who g

    Londyn's POV I hadn’t expected to see my sister.Seeing her at the country club, dressed to the nines and laughing with Tiffany’s friends, wasn’t exactly how I imagined our reunion would go.But then again, if I were being honest with myself, I hadn’t imagined any reunion at all. Because every time my mind would dare to wander toward Larissa, I would forcefully steer it elsewhere. It didn’t matter where, as long as it wasn’t on her. So far, I had been doing a good job of that until she had bumped into me at the country club. And now, try as I might, I couldn’t get her out of my head.Because what was I supposed to say? “Hey, sorry I’m engaged to your man while you’re on trial for murder. Hope you’re holding up okay.”So here I was. Sitting at my dressing table the morning after, brushing out the curls I’d spent hours heat-styling the night before. I took a lock of hair between my fingers and stared at it. Heat damage. Figures.Once upon a time, I would have called Larissa, or better

    Brayden's POV I wasn’t supposed to be rescued. That wasn’t my thing.I wasn’t supposed to enjoy being rescued either. That also wasn’t my thing.However…Larissa had come through for me. Post break-up, I had avoided Camilla like she was a goddamn plague because, honestly, that was what she was. What kind of person took confidential information and put it on blast for the whole world to read just for a few clicks and likes?Camilla didn’t understand – or maybe it was that she just didn’t care – about the concept of privacy. And every conversation with her was like a mine field, you never knew what she’d use against you or what would end up in the tabloids once the conversation was over.She used to be a psychology major before she got bored with that and declared that he true calling was journalism. For someone like Camilla, that was a bad combination because it meant she knew how to get into people’s heads and then pull out what was in there for the entire world to see.And the worst

    Larissa's POV Thankfully, the bathroom was empty, quiet, and cool. I had spent longer than necessary washing my hands, taking slow breaths as I stared at my reflection. My makeup was still intact, my hair was frizzy, and my dress wasn’t stained with any of the things I had eaten tonight.All in all, it had been a surprisingly good night. Although I still wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about Londyn being there, the night had turned out better than I had expected.The hallway back to the dining room was long and lined with glass display cases of trophies, plaques and historical photos. Londyn had mentioned something about playing tennis here sometimes. I fought the urge to look too thoroughly at any of the names. I didn’t want to know just how long and how often she was here. I didn’t know what I would do with that information.My heels tapped softly against the marble floors as I made my way back.That’s when I saw him.Brayden was standing by one of the tall arched windows just bef

    Larissa's POV Still reeling from the secrets Shauna had shared, I wasn’t looking where I was going. My heel caught on something, my foot slipped slightly and I bumped into someone.“Oh my God, I am so sorry.” I said, already reaching out in apology.The woman I had bumped into turned around.And the world paused.Because it wasn’t just some country club stranger.It was Londyn.My sister.I froze. She froze. The space around us seemed to blur into nothingness.“Londyn?” I asked, my voice small.Her mouth parted slightly, like she couldn’t believe it either. She didn’t say anything at first, just stared. Her perfectly done makeup didn’t flinch, but her drip on her clutch tightened. “Larissa.”This was the first time we’d seen each other since the Patterson Financial quarterly dinner. The same night, she made Brayden and me kiss to ‘prove’ our marriage wasn’t a sham. And before that, there was the dinner at my parents’ where she had debuted the man that was supposed to be my fiancé as

    Larissa's POV Gwen was back in town. I knew this because I’d overheard Brayden’s conversation with her.On one hand, I was relieved. Gwen had been nice to me and was one of the few people who despite the murder accusation hanging over my head, hadn’t treated me like death. But I couldn’t shake the uncomfortable thought of her and Brayden.They had history. The women at brunch had certainly made it sound like they went way back and the picture in Tiffany’s house had proved that they had. I was still trying to convince myself that I was okay with the idea of her and Brayden having history. It wasn’t working.So, yeah. I was glad not to have to navigate that potential minefield just yet.Besides, it wasn’t as if I needed Gwen with me every step of the way. I wasn’t completely helpless in the fashion department.I stepped out of the car in a silk forest green gown that I had found at the back of my closet.Earlier, when I had stepped into the living room. Brayden had looked me over and s
