Fake Marriage With The Mysterious Billionaire chapter 24
Lunch was the first moment of relief Mia had experienced all day. Clara finally closed her tablet with a satisfied nod, announcing that they would continue later in the afternoon, and for the first time since morning, Mia felt like she could breathe again. Her head was pounding from decisions she didn’t care about, like flowers, seating arrangements, lighting, venues that all sounded far too grand for something that still felt unreal. She wanted to go up to her room and take a nap because that was her only escape away from the reality she was living in, but she knew a knock on her door from Melissa would wake her up. She was led into the dining room once more. This time, Max was already there. The moment Mia saw him seated at the head of the table, something in her chest tightened. She slowed instinctively, her steps hesitant, as though she might turn around if given the chance. But the maid behind her pulled out a chair, and Mia sat down stiffly. The table was set elegant

Max left his study quietly, closing the door behind him with a soft click. The house was calm in that peculiar way it always was too quiet for something that held so many people within its walls. It had been that way for as long as he could remember.As he walked down the corridor, he slowed his steps when voices drifted toward him from the living room. Mia’s voice and Clara’s, he could also hear Melissa speaking. Max stopped just short of the doorway, positioning himself where he could hear without being seen. He wasn’t intentionally spying, but instinct had pulled him to pause. Something about the tone of the conversation made him listen. “…for the guest list, we’ll need to consider at least three hundred people,” Clara was saying briskly, her voice efficient and confident, the voice of someone who had planned more weddings than she could count. “Your family, Mr. Hult’s associates, business partners, friends, and of course the press..." “The press?” Mia repeated faintly. “Ye

Max sat alone in his study, the room was almost pin drop silent except for the sound of the computer in front of him as he tapped on the keyboard. The ring box rested in his hand. It was empty now and the ring now had a new owner but he still held it. His thumb brushed over the velvet box absentmindedly as his eyes stayed fixed on the screen. The lights in the room were dim, casting long shadows across the shelves lined with books he rarely touched anymore. The video played again. Max leaned back in his chair, his jaw tight as he watched it unfold for what felt like the hundredth time. Mia stood by the side of the road, just outside the hotel where the gala had been held. She wasn’t moving much. Just standing there. Still and unsure. People passed by her, some stopping briefly, others not paying attention at all. Max’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had noticed that part from the beginning. The video skipped forward a few seconds and he watched it again like he had done dozens o

The room felt smaller than it actually was as she stared at the ring. A family heirloom! Why would he want her to wear that when their marriage was just going to be a contract? He should have given her something different. What if she lost the ring? Would he ask her to pay for it? Mia was sure she wouldn't be able to afford such a ring in this lifetime and the next. It felt like another weight was slowly being placed on her shoulder as she stared at the ring that would soon be placed on her finger. Mia sat on the velvet chair as the attendant carefully slid the ring onto her finger. Her breath caught the moment it settled into place. It fit perfectly, like it had been made for her hand alone. She stared at it in silence. It was beautiful but another weight on her. The diamond gleamed softly under the light, elegant and timeless. It was beautiful in a way that made her chest ache. Not because she wanted it, but because of what it represented. A promise she wasn’t sure she coul

The house remained silent as she walked. Mia noticed it almost immediately after leaving Max’s study . There was no sign of him at lunch, and when dinner time came, he didn’t show up either. Melissa had informed her politely that Mr. Hult would not be dining that evening, and Mia had nodded like it didn’t matter. In truth, she was relieved. She wasn’t sure she would be able to swallow a single bite if Max sat across from her, watching her with those calm, unreadable eyes. Eating alone felt safer and easier. The silence of the dining room didn’t press on her chest the way his presence did. The rest of the day passed quietly. Melissa introduced her to a few of the maids. They were soft-spoken women who smiled politely and told her she could call on them if she needed anything. Their voices were gentle, their movements careful, and they treated her with a respect that made Mia uncomfortable. It was like they already saw her as something important, something above them. Something sh

By lunchtime, Mia had made up her mind. She sat on the edge of the bed, the contract resting heavily in her hands like it could burn through her skin if she held it for too long. She had read it twice already, slowly, carefully, forcing herself to understand every line even though her head still felt cloudy. The terms were clear. Everything about it felt unreal, like she had stepped into someone else’s life overnight. Marrying Max Hult. The thought still made her chest tighten. But running was no longer an option. She had thought about it all night and again that morning, planning different escape routes in her head, but every plan ended the same way, failure. The gates, the guards, the staff watching every corner of the estate. Even if she somehow managed to leave, Jessa and the others wouldn’t let her disappear that easily. And there was the money. Mia squeezed the contract slightly, her fingers tightening around the edges. She didn’t want to think about it, but the re
