When Celeste’s voice came through the speaker, Nadia leaned closer to the phone.

    Ryan muttered, though uncertainty had begun to creep into his voice. “It has to be a coincidence.” “No, no,” Victoria said, shaking her head frantically. “Sophia Nathaniel would never agree to meet that loser.” But her voice lacked conviction. Landon’s confident smile faltered as he studied their anxious expressions. “What is going on?” he demanded. “Why are you all acting as though this village doctor might actually be important?” “That village doctor,” Victoria blurted out, nervously twisting her Cartier bracelet, “just left here claiming he had a meeting with Sophia at Crystal Bay. You said you met Sophia there earlier.” Landon’s carefully maintained expression cracked. A muscle twitched in his jaw as he loosened his tie. “He what?” “It’s nothing,” Jessica interrupted quickly, noticing the dangerous glint in his eyes. She forced a laugh, but even she could hear how brittle it sounded. “Think about it logically. He is pretending to be someone he isn’t. He proba
