Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 281

| Know Why Austyn Married You 

I Know Why Austyn Married You 

Kira Hewitt was a little forward, but she was also friendly. 

That dress made her look like a young princess who should live in a castle and be doted on by everyone around her. 

She was nothing like the temperamental, hot–headed scamp Gideon described. 

Gwen would have liked her if they’d met under any other circumstances 

But she couldn’t. 

The more likeable Kira Hewitt was, the harder it was to draw Gideon away from her. 

Gwen would have much preferred if Hewitt was an arrogant, spoiled diva. 

She took a deep breath to calm the rising ride of irritation in her bosom. 

‘I have somewhere else to be,” she said evenly. If you’ll excuse me, miss.” 

‘Oh, okay. Sorry to have bothered you Kira offered an apologetic smile and stood aside to let Gwen pass 

She had more questions, but the woman was clearly not in the mood for conversation. 

Kira resisted the urge to snap a picture of the woman. 

She didn’t have her phone with her anyway. 

She wanted to have proof when she recounted this strange encounter to Austyn later. 

Without a picture, he probably wouldn’t believe she’d found her doppelgänger. 

Austyn knew the event organiser. 

Maybe he had a way to find out the woman’s name, 

‘Kira Hewitt!” 

Kira tumed around when she heard her name. 

That voice was familiar. 

She raised an eyebrow when she saw who it was. 

Kayleigh Woods was standing in the shadows behind a potted plant. 

What was she doing here? 

Kira started walking 

She had no interest in talking to the actress. 

That woman had brought her nothing but trouble. 

“Stop!‘ Kayleigh raised her voice. “I want to talk to you!‘ 

‘But I don’t want to talk to you.‘ 

“I have something to tell you! 

“Not interested,‘ 

Kayleigh stomped her feet. 

‘Don’t you want to know why Austyn married you?” 

Her words stopped Kira dead in her tracks. 

She clenched her fists. 

She’d posed the question to Austyn before, but he prevaricated and gave her a tongue–in–cheek answer. 

He said he married her out of charity. 

-Kira wasn’t convinced, but she knew better than to push. 

Austyn helped save her father. 

That was a fact 

She shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. 

The motive for his action, whatever it was, shouldn’t matter, right? 

So Kira let it go 

But doubt lingered. 

I Know Why Auslyn Manies You 

It gnawed away at her mind. 

Could Kayleigh really have the answer? 

Kira wanted to walk away. 

‘I don’t care,” she said to herself. 

But her feet refused to move. 

“Stop lying to yourself, another voice said in her heart. “You do care. 

Kira huffed, spun around and marched over to Kayleigh. “Why?” 

Kayleigh smiled. ‘Follow me Let’s find a quiet place to talk! 

“Why can’t we just talk here?” Kira didn’t want to go anywhere with her. 

‘I’m a high–profile actress Kayleigh raised her chin. “Once people see me, they’re going to want photos and autographs.” 

Kira recalled the last time she left with Kayleigh. “Where’s your henchman?” 

*If you mean my bodyguard, he took the day off.” 

The truth was, Frank had been recalled by the company, along with Kayleigh’s agent, assistants and chauffeur, 

MS Entertainment was forcing Kayleigh to take a one–year break from her career. 

All thanks to this Hewitt woman. 

Kayleigh started walking away, heading for a side door. 

She knew Howitt would follow her. 

Kira hesitated for a moment. 

The banquet hall was filled with people. 

This was a public venue. 

Kayleigh was a public figure.
