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

After delivering that line, Collins could swear he felt a chill in the air, a vibe that spelled trouble. He glanced up instinctively at Zach, only to be met with an innocuous smile as gentle as a lamb’s. Shaking off the strange feeling, Collins chalked it up to jet lag.
