Born of secrets, loved by a King Chapter 48 : Rain Between Us
Amara's POVThe rain showed no signs of stopping.It hammered relentlessly against the roof, the windows, even the front porch. Every now and then, lightning streaked across the dark sky, followed by thunder that rattled the glass.El and Adrian had disappeared upstairs after dinner, claiming they wanted to watch a movie before bed.The kitchen was unusually quiet.Only the sound of running water and the clinking of plates filled the room.I rinsed another plate before handing it to Ethan."You know," I said, "this isn't how I imagined spending my Saturday night."He dried the plate with a towel before placing it on the rack."Washing dishes?""Washing dishes with my fake husband."He smiled without looking at me."You're still calling me fake husband.""Well..."I nudged him lightly with my elbow."You're not my real husband.""Not yet."The words slipped out so casually that we both froze.His eyes widened for the briefest moment.Mine probably did too.He cleared his throat."I mea
Born of secrets, loved by a King Chapter 47: Where is King Albert?
The palace looked as majestic as ever, but beneath its elegance lingered an uneasiness that no amount of luxury could conceal.It had been months since King Albert had quietly disappeared from public view.Officially, the palace maintained that His Majesty was attending to confidential matters concerning both the Crown and Grayson Group.Unofficially...Questions were beginning to spread.Thankfully, the presence of former King Theodore had prevented panic. Although he had long since stepped away from the throne, Theodore had resumed overseeing both royal affairs and Hayden Group's major decisions during Albert's absence.Few people knew how exhausting the responsibility truly was.---Theodore sat behind the large oak desk in his study, a pair of reading glasses perched low on his nose as he skimmed through another stack of reports.Across from him sat James.Albert's most trusted confidant.A thick leather folder rested in front of James, filled with financial statements, investment
Born of secrets, loved by a King Chapter 46 : Quiet Acts Of Love
Amara's POVSaturday morning sunlight spilled through the large windows, bathing the living room in a warm golden glow."You're carrying the one in the wrong direction.""I'm not!""You are.""I am not!"I looked up from the dining table just in time to see El and Adrian staring at a maths assignment as though it were an international crisis.A smile tugged at my lips."You don't subtract first," Adrian said patiently, taking the pencil from El's hand. "Remember BODMAS?"El frowned dramatically."I hate whoever invented maths.""It wasn't one person.""I hate all of them."I couldn't stop myself from laughing.The two of them had become surprisingly close over the past few days.At first, El had been intimidated by Adrian's polished manners and expensive education. She even claims to have met him before but can't remember where.Now...She treated him like an older brother.Adrian, surprisingly, never lost his patience.He explained every question carefully, even when El asked the sam
Born of secrets, loved by a King Chapter 45: Fourteen Days
Exactly fourteen days had passed since I'd given the board a chance to prove they deserved their seats. They failed. I wasn't surprised. The elevator doors slid open onto the executive floor, and Liam stepped out beside me, his tablet tucked neatly beneath one arm. The hallway outside the boardroom was unusually quiet. No assistants chatting. No secretaries hurrying between offices. Even the employees who happened to pass by lowered their voices the moment they saw us. Fear traveled fast. Especially after my first board meeting. Liam glanced at me briefly. "They're all here." "I expected nothing less." He didn't reply. He simply reached for the polished oak door and pushed it open. Conversation died instantly. Every head turned toward us. The boardroom looked exactly as it had two weeks ago. Anxiety. It lingered in every corner of the room. Mr. Harrington's fingers drummed nervously against a folder. Ms. Lopez avoided looking in my direction altogether. Mr. Reynolds
Born of secrets, loved by a King Chapter 44: A Home Shared
Albert's POVThe drive back to my apartment was unusually quiet.Not awkward.Just... unfamiliar.Every now and then, I stole a glance at the passenger seat.Amara sat with both hands resting on the small duffel bag on her lap, her fingers gripping the worn handles tightly. It was the only luggage she had brought.One bag.That was all she owned.Inside the car, silence lingered between us.Neither of us seemed to know what to say after signing a contract that legally made us husband and wife.Even if only on paper.I cleared my throat."You don't have to look so nervous."She turned toward me."I'm not nervous."I raised an eyebrow."You've been squeezing that bag like it's planning to escape."She immediately loosened her grip before realizing what she'd done."I have not.""You just did.""I didn't.""You absolutely did."She huffed, folding her arms.A smile tugged at the corner of my lips."And you've known me for exactly... what? A few weeks?""Long enough." I replied Despite h
Born of secrets, loved by a King chapter 43: Contract Marriage
Hart's Kitchen had never been busier.The cheerful chatter of customers filled the air as waiters hurried between tables carrying steaming plates of food.The aroma of freshly baked bread, grilled chicken, and herbs drifted from the kitchen, making the cozy restaurant feel even more inviting."Table five needs another pasta!""Coming!""Miss Amara, two grilled salmon!""I'm on it!"Amara moved effortlessly through the kitchen despite the chaos surrounding her.She tied her apron a little tighter before lifting another sizzling pan from the stove."Jessica!""The mushroom sauce!""I'm bringing it!"Jessica appeared with two bowls balanced expertly in her hands."I swear," she laughed, "if this place gets any busier, we'll need to clone ourselves."Daniel carried a tray past them."Or hire ten more people.""I vote for ten."The kitchen erupted into laughter.Even Amara couldn't hide her smile.Only a few weeks ago...She had worried whether anyone would even visit the restaurant.Now..
