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

“Let’s talk inside,” Leo said, striding over to the door. He lifted his hand and pressed his thumb against the scanner. With a click, the door swung open.

Mirabella followed him in, and after a moment’s hesitation, Emmitt stepped over the doorway into the house.
