AVERY It was unbearable. I couldn’t take standing here at this stupid photo shoot, trying to pretend everything was okay. I tapped my foot against the floor impatiently, counting the seconds until I could be alone with Cole again. Why? So you can ask him why he never mentioned he was engaged to Lucy Caro, ask him what she has to do with the man who followed you, with whatever secrets he’s hiding? He’s not going to tell you anything, and you know it. Could it really be a coincidence that Jeffrey had mentioned Lucy to me just an hour before she showed up at Cole’s photo shoot? Had Cole requested her to be the model for his ad? And how else was Lucy involved with Cole? There was no way Jeffrey would have mentioned her if she was just someone Cole had been involved with romantically. There had to be more to it than that. I blinked away the tears threatening to spill down my cheeks. Every one of my nerves was on high alert, my body so tightly wound I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin.
What do You think about Stepbrother Takes (His Twisted Game, Book Five)?
