MY SECRET HUSBAND IS TEN YEARS YOUNGER
“Jayden! For heaven’s sake, we can’t make love. I’m way above your age!!”
“We both know we want this,” he whispered against my earlobes, his fingers crawling under my skin. He doesn't want to take no for an answer. “You’ve been my secret crush right from when I met you, up until now.”
———
I was supposed to marry the man I’d loved since I was a child. But one brutal truth destroyed everything and I walked away from the altar — humiliated, broken, and alone.
That night, my world fell apart again.
But when I opened my eyes in the hospital, the first thing I saw was Jayden Sterlings.
A twenty-five-year-old. Intelligent. Insufferably arrogant and far too young for me. Yet— somehow, he’s dangerously charming for my mental health.
He offered me protection when I needed it most.
“A secret marriage with no emotions and no strings attached. Just my own safety.”
But living under the same roof with Jayden is dangerous in a different way. The kind that tempts you to forget every rule you’d sworn you’d follow.
His touch burns through every wall I’ve built around myself.
His voice makes my heart race too fast.
And the way he looks at me makes me completely forget my own name.
But when a terrifying secret about Jayden comes to the surface, I'm left with a difficult choice.
Walking away from everything again…
Or falling for the man I was never supposed to want.

Chapter: Chapter {66}{JAYDEN} Gibberish. He sprouted nonsense from his mouth. I never begged for sex. I was the predator when it came to the women. My lips flashed with a corny smile. The little weapon between my legs twitched for naughty desires with her. “That's a work in progress. She isn't ready yet.” My breath sucked in. God— I’ve never been so fucking eager for that kind of moment with her. Hopefully one of these days. “Actually— I bought her a car. One of the most expensive ones. She needed it.” “Dude!” he raised his voice. His hands shifted to his mouth. “You fucking kidding me?” My head tilted. “Not at all.” “Well… what did she say? Was she happy? Come on— tell me. I wanna know.” He rushed his words. He looked happier than I as if he was the one who got the car for her. Weird guy! Must he always display his madness wherever he goes? “Hmmm. Can't say.” I removed my phone from my pocket. Hours ago— I sent Nyra three messages along with stickers. She was y

Chapter: Chapter {65}{JAYDEN}“Are you nuts? You almost gave me a heart attack with the silly stunt you pulled.”God damn— I thought that was the end.I could literally feel the sour taste of my heart in my mouth.And for about thirty fucking minutes— the taste never left.‘Imagine what would have happened if I had fucking given in?’I blew a heavy breath as I fought the fears away.“Come on man… I was joking,” Massimo smirked. His laughter could be heard in the atmosphere.It didn't stop for a second.Then he leaned mockingly on the seat that faced opposite me. “But what the hell Jayden. She’s hot. Really sexy.”My eyes rolled annoyingly at him. “Not as Nyra.”Massi scoffed. His brows arched suspiciously. “Not sure about that man. If not I wouldn't have seen you with another woman.”“So close to you,” he added. “And you didn't seem like you hated advances.” Bastard!The cock knew what he was doing.He wanted my reaction. To see what I would say. Then— we fucked around. We celebrated it without remorse

Chapter: Chapter {64}{NYRA}It's been more than two hours. But I had hopelessly wished anyone would call back. To tell me it was a joke. I kept scrolling through my phone for like a lifetime. “Gosh! This is frustrating,” I sighed bitterly. “What would you like to eat, white lady,” an innocent voice cut through the turmoil that burned inside my heart. My car was three kilometers away from the local bamboo restaurant. I had walked on my own two feet. I needed to think. To touch the soil. To feel the world beneath me instead of the screen in my hand. My teeth glistened for a minute. “A bowl of spicy noodles will do. And two bottles of liquor.” The little boy's arrival eased my sanity. At least— before I vanished. It wouldn't be so bad to enjoy one last delicious meal. And drowning my heart with liquors. I think here— they call it soju. A Korean cafeteria. A message popped in. It was just twenty silly notifications and ten missed calls from my dear mother. The one who double-crossed me

Chapter: Chapter {63}{JAYDEN} “Sir? They are here.” A knock on the door disrupted the little sleep I was getting. I honestly thought that hiding in here would keep me away from everyone. Well, I guessed wrong. The office was quiet, with papers neatly stacked on my desk and the faint ticking of the wall clock filled the silence. The hum of the air conditioner and the sterile scent of disinfectant lingered, reminding me I was still in the hospital. “When should we begin?” Intern Cathy whispered, immediately after finding out that she had ruined my nap time. She bowed her tiny head. She gazed at any other place but where I sat. Her fingers twisted together nervously, shoulders stiff, eyes darting quickly to the floor then to the wall as if searching for escape. Maybe she didn't want to witness how infuriated I was. But I wasn't. Cathy was the least person that I could get pissed at. Plus— she had no idea I was relaxing. I adjusted my white coat and sleeves properly. “Uhh… give

Chapter: Chapter {62}I reached the building. It changed each passing day. More stunning on the outside. “I wonder what the inside is going to look like,” my brows carved in astonishment. The entire metallic surface changed from one brilliant dazzling color to another.“Phew!” I exclaimed, staring down at my gold wristwatch. “I just have an hour to catch up with them.” My painting sat beside me, strapped in like a fragile passenger. “Help me this one time, God. I really need this job. Please,” I shut my eyes tight. My lips moved frantically. I prayed inaudibly. It was a crucial prayer that I wished he had hastily responded to. That's if he knew that it concerned life and death. My fingers unlocked the car button. I jumped out of the car, shutting it gently. It was new, exquisite, powerful—I didn't want to leave a scratch on it. Also, I took the painting from the passenger seat, and safeguarded it between my arm holes. For safety. I stared around my surroundings. “I’m here once again.”My four-inc

Chapter: Chapter {61}{NYRA}“What’s this?” A little note was beside the food Jayden prepared for me.My heart pumped. I was curious to know the inside content. “I’m positive that it’s another romantic gesture from him again,” my lips dangled in amusement. However, I picked it up. It was tiny in my hands. Regardless— it was mine.And the letter went like this: “I hope you enjoyed the food. You were so sound asleep that I didn't want to wake you up.”That explained why I was here. He brought me to our bedroom after I had fallen asleep. Gosh! I hope I wasn't too heavy.“I wanted to prepare your food myself— so I woke up earlier. By now— I know you would have probably been there.”Yikes! My eyes widened in realization. “Oh lord… I hope it's not 10am yet. If not I'm screwed.” I searched for my phone on the bed. It wasn't there. So I leaned towards the wooden drawer on the floor and I combed through it inside the purse. “It's gotta be around there somewhere,” my voice, barely above a whisper.“Ahh… seen
