MY SECRET HUSBAND IS TEN YEARS YOUNGER
~~~~~ NYRA ~~~~~
“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 {72}I didn't know when or how I had fallen asleep. But the sound of the engine stirred me up. On one hand— Jayden's eyes were locked on me. Even in my sleep, I felt his intense stares. The one that makes your knee go numb and weaker. That kind of unhealthy feeling. “You look cute when you’re asleep,” he whispered, touching a tiny strand of hair. He tucked it back properly behind my ears as it stopped him from getting a clearer view of me.The truth was— I was awake. Silence. Watching his next move.Like a thick hammer to my heart, his breath came intensely slower on my lips. Quickly I stirred. “Where are we?”Jayden swerved from my face. He glanced at the other side. “It's a… Uhm…” He cleared his throat two to four times.Possibly embarrassed from trying to steal a kiss from me.“Let's go inside, Nyra,” his breath was hoarse. His throat moved. His lips smacked teasingly.Silently— my cheeks heated by that sexy behavior.“Uhm… Jayden? The door please.”He thought of something. Howe

Chapter: Chapter {71}{NYRA}My heart dropped with his statement. Where on earth was Jayden taking me?At least– a little hint would have done just fine.I nodded. My eyes travelled away from him— outside the window. A wide smile appeared from the corners of my smudged lips.And Zarina? She fled my mind like dust. Completely forgotten.««««Finally— we arrived. It was a seaside cafe. Quiet and peaceful. The outside space was illuminated with fabric lanterns. It smelled really nice. My brows narrowed curiously at him. “You didn't tell me you were craving for seaside food?” “You could have told me. And I would have prepared it.”He only grinned. Then he unbuckled and was already at my side.Jayden reached for my hands. “Let's go inside, wifey,” he declared.I let him. Still confused by his sneaky behavior. “Welcome Mr. Jayden. Good day Madame. Please have your seats.”“Wow,” I exclaimed. The whole place looked like paradise. Jayden grinned. The way he smiled made him charming. “Do you like it here?

Chapter: Chapter {70}{JAYDEN}I went straight to my car and waited for Nyra.My heart would have plummeted to the ground, bleeding out, if I had let her finish that statement.“It was a mistake.”It wasn’t.Nyra wouldn’t say something like that out of nowhere. Hearing her confession at the beach had left me dumbstruck — caught between disbelief and something dangerously close to hope.“Just wait and see, Nyra,” I muttered to myself. “I’ll make you forget about that bastard. It’s a promise.”Nerves coiled tight in my chest. Sweat dampened my palms despite the air-conditioning, my fingers roaming restlessly over the steering wheel. The car felt too small. Too hot.I checked my watch. 9:45 a.m.“What’s taking her so long?”Before leaving the house, I’d instructed the maids to keep watch — especially Phil. He’d insisted on driving me, but I refused.“Thanks Phil. Next time you will.”This was my reply a few hours ago. He almost won the argument.Luckily— a smooth talker was what I was. “I’m freaking out seat

Chapter: Chapter {69}{NYRA}The sheet clung to my skin, heavy with salt and fear. My body still trembled from the ocean’s grip, but it wasn’t the waves that haunted me now.It was him. Jayden. His voice, his arms, the way he called me wifey like it was the most natural thing in the world.“He saved me again. This is the fifth time— he’s done it again.” I bit my lower lip, seduced by his heroic act and how hot he looked.When his whole body was drenched in water, I saw his abs again. And I felt it when he lifted me into his car.“Oh my god—” my eyes widened in sheer shock when the statement of yesterday clung to my memory.It wanted to punish me for putting him through so much.“I miss you, Jayden…”Ahhhh. I told him that? What was I thinking?Lately— I’ve been having mixed feelings when I’m with Jayden.Whether it was likeness. Gratitude. Or feeling secure with him. I couldn’t tell.He has been the best kind of friend I have ever had. Even though— I wouldn’t say this was the kind of marriage I dreamed of.

Chapter: Chapter {68}{JAYDEN}I charged towards her. Faster than anything. The tide shifted. The wind was getting too strong.“Don’t move! I’m coming to meet you.”She cried. “Jayden.”That broke something in me.My legs dragged in the water. At first, it didn’t look too serious. Then it became windy.“Everyone out of the water. The waves are getting stronger.”The lifeguard on the beach screamed. He and the other squad began to push the people out of the water.“Jayden—” her voice hovered, it disrupted my attention from the crowd—back to her.“Nyra!!” I moved faster. The waves were building up. People kept running out. So was Nyra.“Hey, where are you going? The waves are getting stronger. You need to leave. Right now,” the lifeguard screamed from afar.I ignored them.Nyra and I were just ten meters apart when she stopped moving.“Cupcake?”“Jayden!! My legs. It’s stuck. I can’t move. I’m scared,” her chest heaved up and down. She was terrified.The next thing that happened—she crashed to the ground. Th

Chapter: Chapter {67}{NYRA}I couldn't do it!I thought about so many things. I couldn't bring myself to end it all.My life.It hasn't even had a chance to bloom yet. Fuck it.It just means I was selfish— like my father.Inconsiderate. Scared to thrive. And weak.“I’m not weak. Do you hear me Dad? I'm… not… weak. I refuse it,” the tears in my eyes fell freely into the sea.The wave slapped my face. It mixed with the moisture on my skin.My whole body crouched to the water. My dress was drenched. I hugged my skin tightly.“It's cold. Th— this place is freaking cold.”I quivered. Teeth gnashed together. My hair ran loose in the wind. I felt the air pass through my ears. Into my eardrums. The passage through my nostrils was blocked.“Jayden!” It came as a whisper. My tone was dull. It croaked like a frog. About to create another drop of tears.I missed him. He was the only one who saw the best in me when most of them saw an opportunity to put me back into my shell.I was used to being dependent on them.
