The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Janet’s eyes went as wide as saucers and her hands flew to cover her mouth. “Are you saying Brandon’s gay?!” she gasped breathlessly.

She was so curious about this juicy piece of gossip that her eyes lit up excitedly. She plopped down next to Ethan on the sofa and tugged at his sleeve incessantly. “How’d you know? Who told you?

Janet was still in shock. She looked up at the man and saw the complicated emotions surging in his eyes. Suspicion crept into her heart.
