The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

About ten minutes later, Zach ladled out the spaghetti onto the plates and brought them to the table. “Give it a taste. Let me know if it’s okay.”

Mirabella picked up a fork and after just one bite, she looked up with a mouthful and mumbled, “Tastes pretty good.”

Zach sat down beside her, arching an eyebrow with pride. “Well, of course. I’ve been cooking since I was eight, you know.” That meant he had a good fifteen years of culinary experience under his belt. He was a veritable veteran.

Something felt off about it then, and I meant to talk to you, but it totally slipped my mind.” Zach smiled apologetically. “I had no idea Catherine planned on leaving. If I had been more attentive yesterday, maybe today’s drama wouldn’t have unfolded.”

Mirabella paused, looking at Zach, who had a hint of guilt on his face. Her voice was calm, “Zach, you shouldn’t blame yourself.
