Audrey’s POV

It hit me suddenly – Henry Hartford didn’t actually know me. He knew my sister. She had saved his life. When I was still Audrey Sinclair, I hadn’t known Henry at all. I hadn’t even realized Astrid had feelings for him all this time.

“I heard Blake had an ex-wife, but never saw what you looked like,” he continued matter-of-factly. “Your wedding wasn’t exactly a society event.”

“Everyone said Blake couldn’t stand you and refused to acknowledge your marriage. So naturally, I wasn’t curious enough to look into it.”

I shouldn’t be surprised Henry knows who I am. His influence in New York rivals Blake’s. With his resources and connections to Blake, Adrian, and the Australian Parkers, uncovering my identity would be simple.

“Quite the coincidence,” I agreed. “But also cruel irony.”

“My sister and I are identical,” I said quietly. “If you’d been even slightly curious about the woman who married Blake…”

I closed my eyes, feeling something tighten in my chest. “I might have known I had a sister sooner. Might have met her before she died.”

“Indeed,” Henry agreed, his eyes darkening. “When Evelyn pulled me from the water, we searched for Blake together. Never found him.”

“My sister…” I raised my eyebrows. ‘Did she know Blake back then?”
