Thinking about Jonas always made Lydia smile. He was honestly kind of interesting.
“He really did his job. There were a few times I tried to lose him, but he kept up every time. And when we were up on that mountain, he worked with me the whole way. Never held me back, not once.”
The mountain had been dangerous, seriously scary. Jonas had the skills to get out on his own if he wanted to, but he didn’t. He stuck with her until the very end.
That kind of loyalty to Blake was rare.
She looked a little embarrassed. “I guess it’s a bit much, huh?”
Blake never expected his little sister to have so many wild identities. She was a brilliant doctor, the only person in the country to ever get a perfect score on the final exam, and the fashion world’s chameleon, Miss L. And now, out of nowhere, she turned out to be the legendary hacker L too.
How did she do all that, and all at once? The fact she was both Miss L and hacker L? He could barely wrap his head around it.
No wonder Connor, the guy known for being cold as ice, clung to his sister like he never wanted to let go.
“Blake, stop selling yourself short. Our family are amazing.”
Blake just laughed, but then he got serious. “So, do you like Connor?”
Lydia thought about everything that had happened since she came back to the Capital. She gave a small smile. “Yeah, a little.”
If he’d asked her before today, maybe she would have said she wasn’t sure. But now, she really did, even if it was just a little bit.
Blake nodded. “Good. Honestly, in this whole city, he’s the only one who’s a match for you.”
His sister was a genius in every way. No ordinary guy would ever be enough.
“Oh, right, Lydia. We never got to do this earlier. Let’s swap numbers.”
“Sure.”
They added each other on their phones, and Blake said, “Today was pretty packed. I’ll bring you a proper welcome gift tomorrow.”
Blake was left completely confused. What was that supposed to mean?
Before he could ask, Jenny had already slipped into the room next door and closed the door behind her.
Blake stood in the hallway, thinking, was this misunderstanding getting a little out of control?
About an hour later, Connor showed up outside Lydia’s door, looking kind of guilty. He knocked quietly.
“Lydia, it’s me,” he said in a low voice.
He was nervous. If Blake caught him sneaking into Lydia’s room, he’d never hear the end of it. But tonight, if he couldn’t hold Lydia while he slept, he knew he wouldn’t get a wink of sleep. He’d probably go crazy.
Lydia had expected him to show up. She was drying her hair when she walked to the door and pulled it open, teasing, “Aren’t you worried my brother’s going to beat you up?”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
