    Family Dinner ExplosionJane's POVThe dining room felt smaller with all of us sitting around Grandma Helen's long table. Eight people. Too many secrets. Too much tension. I could feel it in the air like electricity before a storm."Jane, you look lovely tonight," Grandma Helen said as she passed me the roasted chicken. Her smile was warm, but I could see worry in her eyes. She knew something was wrong."Thank you, Grandma."Christian sat next to me, but he might as well have been on the other side of the world. He'd barely looked at me since finding out about P&G Industries yesterday. His face was stone cold.Amanda sat across from us wearing a red dress that probably cost more than most people's cars. She kept smiling at everyone like she was the hostess instead of an uninvited guest."So Amanda," Uncle Gideon said, cutting his meat, "how have you been?""Wonderful, thank you for asking." Amanda's voice was sweet as honey. "I've been keeping busy. Learning so many interesting things

    The Secret CompanyJane's POVI was making coffee when someone knocked on my door. Very softly. Like they didn't want anyone else to hear. I looked through the window and saw a woman in dark sunglasses and a scarf covering her hair."Veronica?" I opened the door quickly. "What are you doing here?""We need to talk." She looked around nervously. "Can I come in?"Veronica was my assistant at P&G Industries. She never came to my apartment. We always met at the office or talked on the phone."Of course." I let her in and locked the door behind her. "What's wrong?""Jane, we have a problem." She took off her sunglasses. Her face was pale. "Someone has been asking questions about you."My stomach dropped. "What kind of questions?""About P&G. About when you started the company. About how much it's worth." She sat down on my couch. "Jane, I think someone knows."I felt dizzy. I sat down across from her. "Who's asking?""A private investigator. He came to the office yesterday. Asked the recep

    BlackmailJane's POVMy phone rang at six in the morning. Unknown number. I almost didn't answer, but something made me pick up."Hello?""Jane Walton."The voice was cold. Male. I didn't recognize it."Who is this?""Someone who knows your secrets."My blood went cold. I sat up in bed, my heart pounding."What are you talking about?""P&G Industries. Ring a bell?"I couldn't breathe. "How do you—""Twenty million dollars. Cash. Or everyone finds out who you really are.""I don't have that kind of money."The man laughed. "Don't lie to me, Jane. You're worth more than Christian Holmes could ever dream of being.""What do you want?""I told you. Twenty million. Or I expose everything. Your secret company. Your fake marriage. Your lies.""I'm not lying about anything.""Aren't you? Does your precious Jared know you're still married? Does he know you've been playing house with Christian?"My hands were shaking so hard I could barely hold the phone."You have forty-eight hours," the voice

    Cracks in the MaskJane's POVThe tea set was Grandma Helen's favorite. Fine china with tiny roses painted around the edges. I poured carefully, trying to keep my hands steady. Three days of pretending to be married to Christian was wearing me down."Thank you, dear," Grandma Helen said as I handed her the cup. "You always make the perfect cup of tea."Aunt Rose sniffed. "It's just tea, Mother. Not rocket science." She looked at me with those cold eyes. "Though I suppose Jane has plenty of practice serving people now. With her little teaching job.""Rose," Grandma Helen's voice was sharp. "Jane's career is wonderful.""Career?" Aunt Rose laughed. "It's a hobby at best. Real Holmes wives don't need to work."My fingers tightened around my teacup. "I work because I want to work.""Of course you do, dear," Aunt Rose said like she was talking to a child. "But wouldn't you rather focus on giving Christian children? That's what wives are supposed to do."The cup rattled against the saucer i

    Amanda's TrapJane's POVI needed new clothes for work. Something professional but not too expensive. The boutique downtown had a sale, so I decided to check it out.I was looking at a simple black blazer when I heard her voice."Well, well. Look who's here."I turned around. Amanda and Tiffany were standing behind me, both carrying designer shopping bags."Hello, Amanda," I said quietly."Jane! What a surprise!" Amanda's voice was loud and fake. "Shopping for work clothes?""Yes.""How exciting! A working woman!" She looked at the blazer I was holding. "That's... cute. Very affordable looking."My cheeks burned. "It's fine for what I need.""Of course it is! Not everyone can afford the good stuff." Amanda picked up a blazer from the expensive section. "This is what I'm getting. Christian bought it for me yesterday."The lie hit me in the chest. Christian hadn't bought her anything. We were supposed to be pretending to be married. But I couldn't say that."That's nice," I said.Tiffan

    Sandra's Bonding VisitSandra's POVI stood outside Jane's apartment holding two bags of groceries and wondering if this was a bad idea. We barely knew each other, but something about her at dinner last night made me want to help. She looked so lost. So tired.The way Christian kept touching her hand, and how she pulled away each time. The way Amanda kept making those nasty comments. The way Jane smiled but her eyes stayed sad.I knocked on the door."Who is it?" Jane's voice sounded cautious."It's Sandra. Alec's girlfriend. From last night."The door opened slowly. Jane looked surprised. She was wearing old jeans and a sweater. Her hair was messy, like she had just woken up."Sandra? What are you doing here?"I held up the grocery bags. "I brought food. Thought we could cook together.""Why?"Her question was sharp. Like she didn't trust me."Because you looked like you needed a friend last night."Jane stared at me for a long moment. "I don't really do friends.""Neither do I. But
