Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 0236

"Enough. This isn't getting us anywhere." Kane groaned loudly. And then I heard her. Lottie.

"Adam, you can not argue with stupid." Lottie chuckled in the background to her brother. My eyes shot to Kane, pain shot through my chest, seeing his eyes light up in a way they never did when he looked at me.

"Don't you worry, Connie," Lottie proclaimed, her voice carrying a new edge I hadn't heard before. "I am no home wrecker; you may keep that title."
