ELARA

I thought I was completely immune to handsome men. Living in Italy, I’d seen more than my fair share of good-looking guys and had learned how to keep my cool around them. So when Taylor Alonso the country’s hottest model flirted with me while I did his makeup, my heart didn’t skip a beat. I stayed perfectly calm.

But right now, standing in Adrian Blackwood’s arms, everything felt different. This man, with his dangerously sexy voice and looks that could make anyone weak, had my heart raci

  • Dirty little Secrets:The billionaire's hidden heir   Chapter 18

    The knots in my stomach grew tighter with every passing minute as the cab drew closer to Denvar Street the neighborhood where I was born and raised. After days of overthinking it, I had finally decided to do what I should have done years ago: visit my parents. I hated myself for being such a coward, always imagining the worst. They were my parents. What was the worst that could happen?“Mommy, what’s this place called?” Leo asked, pressing his face against the cab window. He’d been thrilled when I told him we were going to my hometown. I hadn’t mentioned he might meet his grandparents I was still scared I might back out at the last second. Or that Dad might still be angry with me.“Denvar Street,” I said, pointing out the window. “See that park over there?” It was the same park where I used to hang out all the time. A small smile tugged at my lips as memories flooded in—one morning before school, sitting on that bench, stressing over a chemistry test I hadn’t properly studied for.“It

    ELARA I thought I was completely immune to handsome men. Living in Italy, I’d seen more than my fair share of good-looking guys and had learned how to keep my cool around them. So when Taylor Alonso the country’s hottest model flirted with me while I did his makeup, my heart didn’t skip a beat. I stayed perfectly calm.But right now, standing in Adrian Blackwood’s arms, everything felt different. This man, with his dangerously sexy voice and looks that could make anyone weak, had my heart racing out of control. The way he held me so steadily, those sharp gray eyes locked onto mine… it felt like a whole swarm of butterflies had taken over my stomach.I finally blinked and realized his arm was still wrapped around my back. “Um…” He gently helped me steady myself, and I quickly stepped back, creating some much-needed space between us. This man was trouble. Every time he got close, my emotions went completely haywire. “Thank you… and sorry for bumping into you like that.”“No problem at

    Andrian Blackwood She stood on stage delivering a heartfelt speech about the bride, her eyes glistening with tears. I’d learned she was the maid of honor. That midnight-blue dress clung to her figure perfectly, and her warm brown hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders. Her fair skin practically glowed under the spotlight. She was the first person my eyes had landed on the moment I entered the hall.Now, as I waited for her answer, I realized for the first time in my life I had no clue what was going through her mind. Women usually made their interest obvious: lingering looks, flirty smiles, clear body language. But Luna seemed hesitant, like accepting my hand was a decision she needed to carefully weigh.After a brief pause, she finally placed her palm in mine.The song began slow and sensual with dimmed lights that made everything feel far more intimate. Luna rested her free hand on my shoulder while I held the other, my other palm settling at the small of her back. We started mov

    Andrain “...Yeah, I already told you that,” I said, only half paying attention to Williams while my eyes kept sweeping across the crowded hall, searching for one particular person. “So what do you think?” he pressed. I finally turned back to him, having no idea what he’d been talking about. “Sorry?” “What’s up with you? You’re completely distracted,” he said, rubbing his chin like some kind of amateur detective. I shrugged and took a sip of my white wine. “It’s nothing.” “Who is she?” he asked with a knowing grin, still talking like we were back in high school. “The one who’s got you this twisted up?” “There’s no one,” I replied, quickly changing the subject. “So when are you coming back to the office?” Williams let out a long, dramatic sigh. “Absolutely not. I’m not talking about work on my wedding day.” I smirked. “Weren’t we just discussing the Diane project ten minutes ago?” “That was only because you, Mr. Ice Block, wouldn’t let it go.” “Careful, Williams. I’

    ELARAI could call my best friend Mrs. Clara Bennett for the rest of my life now. The wedding had gone perfectly, without a single hitch, and the reality of it hit me harder than I expected. As her maid of honor, I stood right behind her, wiping away tears while the photographer captured shots of the happy couple.Nathaniel Carter had spared no expense. It was every woman’s dream wedding from the sleek limousine to Clara’s breathtaking thousand-dollar dress. Every detail screamed luxury.After the ceremony, the reception was held in the hotel’s grand ballroom, which had been transformed into something magical. A massive four-tier cake took center stage beside a flowing chocolate fountain.Guests in elegant suits and glamorous dresses mingled around the hall, champagne glasses in hand. I watched the newlyweds posing for more photos, both of them smiling so wide it almost didn’t seem real. The cold bubbles tickled my throat as I took another sip.When the photos finally wrapped up, Cla

    ELARAShe stood in front of the full-length mirror, the white lace off-shoulder A-line wedding dress fitting her like it was made for her body alone. Her hair was swept into a soft, low bun with a few dark strands framing her face. Those warm brown eyes sparkled brighter than I’d ever seen them, and her smile lit up the whole room.My best friend turned around, clearly hoping for my honest opinion. I stepped closer, gently spun her, and adjusted the long veil so it sat perfectly with her bun.“Now,” I said, catching her eyes in the mirror blue meeting brown. “You look like the most beautiful bride in the world.”I don’t make Clara Bennett blush often, but today she did. Her cheeks flushed pink as she let out a soft giggle. “Are you only saying that because you’re the one who did my makeup?” she teased, dropping onto the bed. The room was a disaster zone clothes, brushes, pins, and bags scattered everywhere. Just a little while ago it had been total chaos.“Maybe,” I teased back, and w
