Secret Love

Liana Hart gave everything to her marriage—her youth, her heart, and ultimately, her child. But when she went into labor, her husband Damien Cross walked out, choosing his career over their growing family. Alone and rejected, Liana rebuilt her life brick by brick, raising her daughter, Emma, without a penny of support or a whisper of regret. Four years later, Damien returns with a glamorous fiancée and an eye on the daughter he left behind. Desperate and cornered, Liana accepts an offer from Ethan Wolfe, Damien’s enigmatic billionaire boss: a marriage of convenience in exchange for protection, power—and the resources to fight for her daughter. But Ethan has his own secrets. He’s been watching Liana for years. And when Damien begins a legal war for custody, the lines between arrangement and obsession blur. As Ethan and Liana pretend to be husband and wife, desire erupts, loyalty is tested, and buried truths surface. What Damien didn’t know is that he was never the one meant to have Liana’s heart—or her child.

Chapter one
Chapter OneLIANA, They say giving birth is a woman’s most powerful moment. That it’s beautiful. Transformative. A rite of passage wrapped in joy and love. But no one tells you how cold the room feels when you’re doing it alone. I shook uncontrollably, not from the pain—though it was more excruciating than anything I’d ever felt—but from the absence. The deafening silence pressed in, suffocating me. Damian was supposed to be here. He promised me. “I’ll never let you do anything alone, Li. I swear on my life. I’ll always be here.” His words—once so full of promise—now echoed in my mind like glass shattering. The chair in the corner remained empty. No smirk. No presence. No Damian. Damian Cross. My husband. He was everything I’d ever wanted—until he wasn’t. Tall, dark, and effortlessly handsome, Damian was a man who could command a room with a single glance. His jet-black hair always seemed to fall perfectly, and those green eyes of his, filled with a dangerous intensity, co

Chapter Two
Chapter Two:LianaI stood frozen at the kitchen counter, my fingers clenching around the chipped mug of lukewarm coffee in my hands. The faint steam curled upward like the last remnants of something I couldn’t quite grasp. The mug felt heavy—too heavy, almost like it was full of everything I couldn’t carry anymore. My heart pounded in my chest, the weight of exhaustion and fear pressing down on me from all sides.The last few weeks had drained me more than I ever thought possible, but it was the kind of fatigue that ran deeper than mere physical wear. It was the kind of tiredness that settled into your bones, making it feel like every breath was a fight. I barely had time to catch my breath, much less deal with everything else. But tonight, I knew there was no escaping it.Emma was asleep in her room, a small, fragile figure under the thin, secondhand blanket I could barely afford. She deserved so much more than this—more than this crumbling apartment, more than the uncertainty that

Chapter Three
Chapter ThreeLIANA,Damian had sued me to court. I had gotten a call the moment he left my apartment and now the summons had arrived.I stood there, staring at the summons in my trembling hands, the crinkled paper burning against my skin. Damian was back. After all these years, after everything he had done to me, he was back, and now, he wanted my daughter. I felt the panic rise in my chest as I imagined the worst—my sweet, innocent Emma being torn away from me, from the only life she had ever known. Damian had no claim to her. He’d abandoned us when we needed him most. But now, suddenly, after all this time, he thought he could just waltz back into our lives and take what he wanted? I couldn’t let that happen. I wouldn’t let it.The silence of the apartment suffocated me. Emma was asleep in the next room, blissfully unaware of the storm threatening to tear our world apart. I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to steady my breath. I couldn’t let my emotions get the best of me. No

Chapter Four
Chapter Four ETHAN, I leaned back in my chair, a slow, amused smile tugging at the corners of my mouth as I watched the woman storm out. She was a wildfire—untamed, furious, unapologetically alive. The summons she had thrown onto my desk still sat there, a crumpled insult against the polished mahogany surface, but I didn’t mind. No, I admired it. In my world, women usually wilted under pressure. They simpered, they fawned, they plotted carefully behind plastic smiles, all calculated sweetness and veiled ambition. But this one? She burned. She confronted, she challenged, and she did it without the safety net of knowing who she was speaking to. That alone stirred something primitive and deeply territorial within me. A woman who didn’t shrink or scheme. A woman who dared to look me in the eye—before realizing her mistake, of course. I had caught the flicker in her gaze, the quick stiffening of her shoulders once the gravity of the situation hit her. Most people crumbled after tha

Chapter Five
Chapter FiveLIANA,The door slammed behind me, its echo reverberating through the cold, sterile corridor as I walked, each step deliberate, my heart thundering in my chest. I could still feel the flames of anger smoldering beneath my skin, but I forced myself to hold it in check. For now. I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing just how close I was to losing control. I'd made that mistake before—showing too much weakness—and it was something I would never do again. What had I been thinking? Challenging him like that? But it had felt necessary, hadn’t it? My pride had demanded it. There was no way I was going to let him believe he could crush me with his cold, calculated gaze. Not without a fight. I kept walking, ignoring the stares of the employees, their eyes following me as I passed by, their whispered conversations trailing in my wake. They didn’t matter. None of this mattered except for what lay ahead. The court date. The battle I had been preparing for my entire life.

Chapter Six
Chapter Six LIANA, The days since Ethan’s unexpected offer had blurred into one another, each moment stretching into a tangled mess of confusion and doubt. I hadn’t been able to sleep, to eat, to think clearly. Ethan’s words echoed in my mind, over and over again, like a constant reminder of the impossible decision hanging over me. Marry me. I’ll protect you. I’ll stop Damien from taking everything. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the absurdity of it all. The man who had once been nothing more than a shadow in the background of my life was now offering me a way out of this nightmare. A way to stop Damien from destroying me, from taking my daughter away. But the cost... the cost of marrying Ethan was something I couldn’t shake. I didn’t know him. He was a stranger, a man with ties to the very people who had hurt me, a man who had spent years pulling strings in the background. The thought of tying myself to him, of becoming his in some twisted game of convenience, was rep

Chapter Seven
Chapter Seven ETHAN. I sat alone in my office, the city lights casting long shadows through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Silence hung heavy, broken only by the steady ticking of the antique clock on the wall. The past few weeks had shifted something fundamental in how I saw the world… and how I saw her. Now, she had just said yes to my proposal. Without hesitation, I picked up my phone and called Ramon—my lawyer and best friend. “Draft the contract,” I said. There was a pause. “What kind of contract?” “The one we talked about.” “Marriage of convenience. And I want it ironclad. No emotional entanglements, no obligations beyond public appearances and mutual respect. Include a clause about not falling in love.” “Are you drunk? Ethan, we talked about this. You’re actually going through with it?” “I’m not drunk. And I am going through with it,” I said flatly. “Quit questioning me and do the job I pay you for. Get here—as soon as possible.” Twenty minutes later, Ramon

Chapter Eight
Chapter Eight LIANA I stared at the ceiling of my tiny bedroom, where the paint peeled in thin, curling strips—like a silent warning that things don’t last forever. The fan above creaked with every rotation, an old companion to my sleepless nights, but tonight the sound grated against me. It was a ticking clock. A countdown to the moment my life would change forever. Marriage. To Ethan Wolfe. I pressed my hand against my chest, trying to calm the frantic rhythm of my heart. But it was no use. The anxiety was alive, a wild thing thrashing in my ribs. I was about to walk into a union with a man I barely knew, one I didn’t love—a man whose world was polished, powerful, and dangerous in ways I couldn’t yet name. I should’ve felt relief. Ethan had offered me a lifeline. Emma’s hospital bills would be paid. We'd finally have a roof that didn’t leak and food without counting coins. Stability. Security. A future. But instead, I felt like I was trading one prison for another—this on

Chapter Nine
Chapter Nine LIANA By the time we pulled into the driveway, Emma was fast asleep in the backseat, her small hand still clutching a half-melted lollipop. Her sugar-sticky face was pressed softly against the window, curls damp and stuck to her cheeks, lips parted in peaceful slumber. She looked like she belonged in a storybook — pure, innocent, utterly unaware of the storm waiting for us just beyond the door. I sat in the car for a long moment, watching her breathe. The driver said nothing; I guessed he understood I needed time. The quiet rise and fall of her chest was a fragile kind of hope — one I wasn’t sure I deserved. I didn’t deserve her. And she certainly didn’t deserve this. I opened the backseat door carefully and lifted her into my arms, trying not to disturb her. Her weight was familiar and grounding — the only thing in my life that felt real and safe anymore. She molded against me like two puzzle pieces perfectly matched — her head resting beneath my chin, one tiny

Chapter Ten
Chapter Ten LIANA, The man in the dark suit walked with a kind of purpose I couldn't imitate even if I tried. His shoes made barely a sound against the marble floors, yet each step echoed with the weight of authority. His back was straight, movements crisp, almost rehearsed. I wondered how long he’d been in this place—this estate that didn’t just feel like wealth, but dominance wrapped in marble and silence. We passed towering windows and framed oil paintings so regal they made my thrifted coat feel like a personal insult. Everything gleamed under the crystal chandeliers—cold, ordered, pristine. Not a speck out of place. As if the house was punishing any sign of real life. Eventually, he stopped before a tall, white door with gold detailing. With a soft click, he opened it and stepped aside. “This is the nursery,” he said, gesturing for me to enter. I hesitated on the threshold. I don’t know what I expected—a crib and some stuffed animals maybe. But this… this was an entire worl
