Liam didn't hesitate after ending the call. He strode directly to the closed bedroom door.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

He rapped on the door, his voice slightly more urgent than usual. "Cecilia?"

Silence greeted him from within. No response.

She'd been in there too long. The image of her recent scare and the burn on her hand flashed in his mind. A nameless dread gripped him.

He quickly found the spare key, slid it into the lock, and turned it.

Creak.

The door only opened a crack before it was blocked by something heavy.

Frowning, he leaned sideways to peer through the gap. There, he saw Cecilia curled on the floor, her back against the door, fast asleep.

The force behind his push instantly gentled.

He carefully turned sideways and squeezed through the opening, inch by inch, his large frame moving with an uncharacteristic, cautious clumsiness to avoid waking her.

Finally inside, he knelt before her, taking her in.

Her hair was a mess, faint smudges of soot still on her cheek. The injured hand

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   Heartfelt Confessions

    Morning sunlight filtered softly through the sheer curtains, warming the room with a gentle glow.The air still held the lingering heat from the night before.Cecilia blinked awake, her vision slightly hazy.The first thing she saw was Liam propped on one elbow, his hand cupping her cheek as he watched her with quiet, overwhelming tenderness.Her heart skipped a beat.The moment felt unreal—like a dream that might dissolve if she dared to move.Liam brushed a loose strand of hair from her forehead, lowering his voice."Morning."His cool fingertips helped pull her fully into consciousness."Mm." Cecilia gave a soft, sleepy hum.She wasn't ready to face reality yet. Instead, she tugged his hand beneath her cheek like a pillow and closed her eyes again, trying to stretch the moment a little longer.Liam didn't rush her. He simply stroked her hair slowly, rhythmically.He knew exactly what she was doing—she always acted like this before a goodbye.Cecilia soaked in the peaceful silence,

    Later that night, Liam stood by the open window, watching a thin trail of cigarette smoke drift into the cool darkness outside.He exhaled the final ring, crushed the cigarette into the ashtray, and set it aside.The dim bedside lamp cast warm shadows across his bare torso, highlighting the sharp cut of his abs and the clean lines of his muscles.He glanced toward the bed.Cecilia was fast asleep, her breathing steady and soft.Picking up his phone, Liam dialed a number.The ringtone dragged on until someone finally answered—impatient, drunk, and surrounded by noise."This better be good," Nick slurred. Behind him came the thump of club music and a woman's giggle."I sent something to your email." Liam's voice was icy and controlled. "Tomorrow morning, ten o'clock sharp—I want every major news outlet running it as the top headline."The other end went silent for a full second.Nick sobered instantly. He straightened up, brushing away the woman leaning on his arm."What headline?""Jus

    When Liam unlocked the door, darkness greeted him.The apartment was completely unlit, and his heart tightened at once.He fumbled for the switch in the entryway. A warm, dim glow spilled down the hall, revealing that the bedroom door was slightly ajar.He changed his shoes as quietly as he could and walked toward the bedroom.The moment he stepped inside, his pupils constricted.Cecilia lay flat on her back on the bed, still wearing the light-colored nightdress from earlier.Her eyes were open, staring blankly at the ceiling, her expression hollow—like all the life had been drained out of her.Moonlight filtered through the window, casting a pale glow across her face, making her look almost translucent.She didn't react at all when he entered.Liam's throat tightened. He walked over and instinctively reached out—then pain shot through his right arm, forcing him to use his left hand instead.He knelt beside the bed, gently cupping her forehead with his palm. His thumb brushed her skin

    The sharp scent of antiseptic filled the hospital room as Liam clenched his jaw, letting the nurse wrap the final layer of bandage around his arm.The sting barely registered—nothing compared to the restless, burning worry twisting inside his chest."Sir, you really should stay for observation—""That won't be necessary." Liam was already getting to his feet, grabbing the jacket draped over the chair.The sudden movement tugged at his wound, a quick jolt of pain shooting up his arm. He winced but forced his arm through the sleeve anyway.The hallway smelled even stronger of disinfectant. His dress shoes struck the glossy floor in sharp, hurried clicks. In his mind, Cecilia's face kept replaying over and over—Was she still waiting for him?Was she worrying because he left without warning?Cold night air rushed against his skin the moment he pushed the hospital doors open.Liam stopped short on the steps outside.Robin was leaning against a black sedan, his tall silhouette stretched lo

    "Do you… really like him that much?""I—" Rebecca's mouth opened on reflex, but the words caught in her throat.She was utterly stunned.This wasn't any of the judgments she had anticipated.No interrogation, no reprimand, none of the paternal authority she had braced for.He was just looking at her, his tone unnervingly calm, as if he genuinely wanted to understand, to step into her world and comprehend a truth he hadn't known.His posture suggested he cared about her feelings.Rebecca's mind went blank, then was flooded by a surge of emotion—this was the first time her father was truly willing to listen to her thoughts, perhaps her last chance to plead her case!She had to seize it!Her voice trembled slightly, but her gaze was unusually resolute:"Yes, Father."Those two short words seemed to expend all the courage she had saved up over the years.She watched his expression nervously, and seeing no anger, she gathered her resolve to continue:"To be honest, I thought about giving u

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   Like Him That Much?

    The hallway sconces cast a dim, yellowish glow, stretching Rebecca's shadow long and thin at her feet.She stood before the door, her right hand lifting and then falling, repeating the motion three or four times, yet never quite managing to land on the wooden surface.Each time her fingertips were about to touch the panel, that familiar chill would shoot up her spine, making her pull back involuntarily.The courage she'd mustered moments ago seemed to dissipate completely here, in front of this door.Just as she raised her hand for the fifth time, finally steeling her resolve to knock—Click.The door opened from the inside.She froze mid-motion, hand suspended in the air."F-Father!"Rebecca snatched her hand back as if shocked, snapping automatically to attention.Her hands flew to her sides, back ramrod straight, chin slightly lifted.Ferdinand's gaze lingered on her tense face for a moment, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.He didn't speak, merely gave a slight nod before t
