“Sorry, dude. You’re not getting played. You’re getting dumped. Bora is a bitch. She doesn’t even bother breaking up with a guy when she’s done with him. Bo does it for her to keep the guy from being strung along.”
Some of the anger lessens, but then more confusion hits.
“If Bo dumps a guy for Bora, then why is she with me in Hawaii right now?”
Silence.
Yeah, now I’m not the only one confused.
“That… I don’t know. Want me to ask Bora? We’re meeting for a shareholders thing today.”
I think it over for a second, then shake my head. “Nah. I don’t want you saying a word about this to anyone. Keep this quiet. Hell, don’t even act like you know I’m in Hawaii.”
“No problem. But you want my best guess about what’s going on?”
“Not really,” I tell him before hanging up. I have enough conspiracy theories of my own.
My phone rings, and I groan before picking it back up. There’s nothing I hate worse than fakers and being lied to, and Bo is nothing more than an imposter and a liar.
“What?” I snap as I answer my phone.
“I’m going to give you my best guess anyway,” Kode drawls. “Bo is a sweetheart. If Bora was going to dump you, and you had this shit planned, then Bo went in her place because she’s nice like that. Hurt her, and I’ll have to break your face. Just once, though, because I still need you training me.”
Rolling my eyes, I hang up again. I’m not worried about Kode breaking my face. As good as he is, he can’t land a punch on me unless I let him. Not that I’d tell that ego of his that I allow him to get shots in.
Bora might be a bitch, but she was always brutally honest with me. Bo… Bo is here posing as her sister and making me look like a fool. Plus, she seriously underestimates my intelligence.
You know how they say you can find anything on Google? Don’t trust that. A quick search on both their names gets me nothing. I mean not even a tiny mention. At least not of them.
It’s like they don’t exist. Unless they use aliases, they don’t even have social media. Pretty Posh has another name listed as CEO, and not one mention of Bora or Bo.
Kode knows they own it, though. I know Kode knows his business. More importantly, they’re doing business with Tria and he’s an overprotective beast where she’s concerned, so they have to be legit. So why doesn’t Google know the twins?
There’s only one way to learn anything about this incredibly private family and what Bo could possibly gain from this charade. I’m about to see how far she wants to go with this little game.
Bora once accused me of being too nice. Well, this nice guy can play dirty, too. Very dirty. And Bo seems to shy away from anything sexual.
Time to play.
Chapter 16
BO
Jax has been eerily quiet since dinner. In fact, I don’t think he’s said more than two words. He eyed me across the table once he came back with Viv’s phone, but every time I’d look at him, he’d look away.
Apparently me being on my “period” is equivalent to having the plague. Which is fine with me. Definitely fine.
That’d be easier to believe if I didn’t feel a pang of disappointment each time he walked by me and didn’t attempt to touch me. Hell, he barely makes eye contact with me unless he’s staring when I look his way.
Looking around the house, I notice him missing, and I walk outside with a heavy sigh. I guess I’m only good for sex, and now that sex isn’t on the table, he has no use for me.
“Wondering why you came on this trip?” D
ad asks as he walks outside and shuts the door behind him.
“You really are psychic,” I mumble before turning back to watch the ocean dance under the moonlight.
“I have my clairvoyant moments,” he quips.
