Twin Deception: A BWWM Billionaire Romance by Izabella Brooks

was small but it was homey. Sadi found that she liked it. She was going to get out of the SUV when a woman opened the porch door and stood on the front step. She had long dark hair, was petite and thin, and very pretty, though she wore little to no makeup and her clothes weren’t expensive.
                    She had her arms crossed over her chest as if she were going to ask what Sadi was doing parked in her driveway but then the woman saw Connor get out of the SUV and she allowed a small smile. Sadi thought that was a good sign.
                  “Do you want me to wait?” Sadi asked Connor.
                  “Sure.” He walked up the front steps and Sadi couldn’t hear what he said to the woman, but she uncrossed her arms and motioned him into the house.
                    Sadi sat back and waited. She got her phone out and played a couple games. Both kids were sleeping in the backseat.
                    After twenty minutes Connor and the woman appeared. He walked down the driveway and got back into the SUV. The woman followed, approaching Sadi’s window. She unrolled it and smiled.
                  “Hi,’ she said, somewhat awkwardly.
                  The woman smiled back and extended her hand. “Hi. I’m Christine. Thanks for bringing Connor by. Everything makes so much more sense now.”
                  “What do you mean?” Sadi asked as she shook the woman’s hand.
                  “Well, right before Connor got in that car accident, we had a huge fight. I found a picture of you in his wallet. I thought he was cheating on me and I was really angry and confronted him.
            I couldn’t believe how lame his excuse was when he said that he didn’t know who you even were or why your picture was in his wallet. It was just always there so he had left it. I guess he was pretty upset when he drove away, because the next thing I knew he was calling me from the hospital days later. I still didn’t want to talk to him or have anything to do with him. He sent me an email trying to explain everything but it sounds pretty farfetched.” Christine laughed nervously. “I guess I feel really bad about not believing him now that I’ve met you.”
                  Sadi nodded slowly. Why the hell did Connor have a picture of her in his wallet? “Yes, it sounds pretty crazy. Believe me, it wasn’t any easier for us to believe that he was alive after all this time.”
                    The three chatted for a couple minutes longer before a cry from Connor Jr. in the backseat had Sadi excusing herself and driving back to the house. They managed to make it before both kids woke up, the gentle lull of the car putting Connor Jr.. back to sleep.
          Sadi wanted to ask Connor about that picture but she just couldn’t get the words out. She wanted to ask him why her image was in his wallet, but she knew he likely wasn’t going to be able to answer her anyway. Maybe it was actually a picture of her and Luke and Christine had obviously assumed the man was her and Connor. That would be more believable.
                    Sadi made a note to try and snoop through the wallet one day to find it. She felt badly as soon as she thought about that. She shouldn’t be going through Connor’s personal items. That would destroy any trust they had built up between each other. Still she wondered. The feeling of unease never quite left her after that.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter 8
                  Luke was less than thrilled to hear about Christine. Sadi couldn’t understand why he couldn’t just be happy for his brother. She had forced Luke into agreeing to go to dinner with Connor and Christine so that everyone could meet. Sadi thought that would maybe meeting Connor’s girlfriend would change Luke’s mind and get him out of the glum
