The room fell silent again, only their breathing softly intertwining in the air.

Liam slowly stood up, his tall frame appearing especially striking under the lamplight.

His white shirt was unbuttoned by two buttons, revealing the elegant lines of his collarbone. He raised his hand, his movement as gentle as if afraid to disturb something precious, softly stroking the top of her head. "We were classmates at Cambridge."

"That's it?" Cecilia's voice carried obvious distrust.

Liam's Adam's apple bobbed as he countered, "What do you think?"

Cecilia's gaze scrutinized him from top to bottom. His expression was too natural, but the more perfect it seemed, the more suspicious she became.

"I think you're definitely hiding something from me." Cecilia's voice suddenly turned sharp. "Otherwise, why would SCA help me pull down those news stories?"

Liam's knuckles unconsciously tightened, the lines of his wrist clearly defined beneath his shirt cuff. "How did you know about that?"

    Liam’s face darkened.He grabbed the cashmere scarf from the sofa, tied it neatly around his waist, and said in a low, restrained voice, “Don’t move. I’ll take care of the glass.”Cecilia arched a brow at his seriousness, the corner of her lips curving ever so slightly. To cover the unease bubbling in her chest, she whistled lightly, though her eyes couldn’t help drifting back to the strong lines of his back.Every movement he made drew her gaze, stirring an unsettling sense of intimacy.Bzzz—The sudden vibration of her phone shattered the fragile tension in the room.Both of them glanced at the sound, then almost at the same time lifted their heads, their eyes locking. The air tightened instantly.Cecilia’s chest burned as if scalded, and she quickly looked away.“Your phone’s ringing,” Liam reminded her, his voice steady as he continued working. He gathered the larger shards, then ran the vacuum across the carpet with meticulous care. “There might still be pieces on the floor. Put

    The next morning, soft sunlight streamed through the half-open curtains, illuminating the scattered clothes on the floor.Cecilia hovered between sleep and wakefulness, a sweet, tempting scent filling her senses—like freshly baked apple pie, warm and irresistible.Driven by instinct, she nuzzled closer, her nose brushing against the source of that delicious aroma.Without hesitation, her lips parted, and her tongue darted out for an eager, satisfied taste.Mmm, even better than I imagined.The urge grew stronger. She pressed closer, her actions growing bolder. Just tasting wasn’t enough; she opened her mouth and bit down.But no matter how she tried, she couldn’t quite take a bite.Lost in a hazy dream, her body moved on pure instinct, determined to devour this “pie” by any means necessary.Meanwhile, the “apple pie” in question—Liam—jolted awake. He glanced down, momentarily stunned.Cecilia was nestled against his chest, squirming, kissing, sucking, and nibbling with enthusiastic fo

    Liam strolled back with an easy air, as if the earlier confrontation had never left a trace.He casually wiped his hands, pushed the menu toward Cecilia, and said in a calm, unhurried tone, “Order whatever you want.”Cecilia’s eyes widened, her chest about to burst with frustration. How can he think about food at a time like this?!She lowered her voice, unable to hide the urgency trembling through it. “That family isn’t one you can afford to cross.”At least she had her family behind her, enough to stand her ground verbally. But Liam had nothing—how could he dare to act that way?Liam only gave a faint smile, his voice warm yet laced with unshakable confidence. “I’m not someone to mess with either.”Cecilia froze, lips parting, but for once she had no retort.Liam shifted his gaze, glancing at the pale-faced manager who was still rooted to the spot. His brows lifted slightly as he spoke with quiet politeness, “Sorry for the disturbance. Tonight’s bill will be covered by our table.

    Elva let out a cold laugh, turning slowly as her lips curved with icy disdain.“Oh? Wasn’t he the one you were desperate to have? What’s wrong now—regretting it?”Gia’s body trembled, her face draining of color.She forced herself to speak, her voice choked, eyes reddening with unshed tears.“I know I was wrong! He’s insane!” Her voice quivered, tears glittering as she pleaded. “But you know this, Elva—if I cross Ronald, no one can save me. The only one powerful enough to stand against DV Group… is SCA. Please, help me.”Elva’s gaze sharpened, her eyes locking coldly on Gia.“So, what you really want… is for me to pull strings and get you into SCA?”Gia dropped her gaze, guilt flashing as her fingers twisted tightly into the hem of her blouse.Her voice was barely a whisper.“I have no other choice… I can only beg you.”The last shred of pride shattered. She suddenly bent forward and fell heavily to her knees.The arrogance she once flaunted was completely gone.“Please! I swear I’ll

    Half an hour later—Click.The bathroom door finally opened.Cecilia instinctively looked up, guilt flashing across her eyes.Liam stepped out with nothing but a towel slung low around his waist, droplets of water running down his chiseled chest and the hard ridges of his abs.His expression was unreadable, as if nothing had happened. He walked past her without a glance and sat on the far side of the couch.The air grew heavy, charged with something sharp and suffocating, as if the tension itself could snap at any second.And then—Grrrrrrowwl—A loud rumble from her stomach shattered the silence.Cecilia froze, her face flaming red. She clutched her belly as if she could shove the sound back inside.Clearly, it was too late.Liam rose slowly, his gaze cutting down toward her stiff posture. His voice was deep, steady. “Hungry?”She hesitated for a beat, then gave up the act, shoulders slumping. “...Yeah.”“What do you want?” His tone didn’t waver.Her eyes lit up instantly, the embarr

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   Why Hesitate?!

    That night, on the south side of the city.By the fountain in front of Cecilia’s apartment building.The screech of brakes tore through the quiet night. Liam slammed his foot down, the car jolting to a stop as the tires left a dark skid across the pavement.His eyes locked instantly on the figure by the fountain.Ronald.Sitting in a wheelchair, clutching a bouquet of vivid red roses, as if cheap theatrics could pass for devotion. His intentions couldn’t have been more obvious.Liam’s gaze hardened, a flicker of relief flashing beneath the ice—thank God he’d come to pick something up for Cecilia. If she had been the one to run into this shameless bastard, Liam was certain he wouldn’t have stopped here to talk. He would’ve simply ordered a sniper to erase him.The car door swung open, and Liam’s tall frame cut through the night as he strode forward, each step sharp and deliberate.Ronald froze.He hadn’t expected to face Liam here, not like this. His carefully practiced expression o
