Mia sat frozen, her chest tight, and her mind racing. She was certain that Max was about to demand answers and questions about Jessa, Blaine, Rico, the comms, the shove, everything. She could feel her stomach twist with dread, imagining his piercing green eyes boring into her, accusing her of deceit.

But instead of anything like that, he simply clapped his hands together, the sound echoing sharply in the silent hallway.

“You should have breakfast before we talk,” he said calmly like he ha

  • Fake Marriage With The Mysterious Billionaire    chapter 47

    Max was already on his way back to the estate when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen briefly before answering. “Melissa.” “Sir,” her voice came through, calm but with an underlying urgency. “She asked to go for a walk alone.” Max’s eyes narrowed slightly as he leaned back into the seat. Scott, who was driving, glanced at him through the rearview mirror but said nothing. “And?” Max asked. “She noticed,” Melissa added. “Or at least… she suspects. She insisted on being alone and walked out to the garden. I didn’t follow.” A brief silence followed her words. Max let out a quiet breath, his gaze drifting to the window as the estate gates came into view ahead. “I see,” he said simply. “She seemed… uneasy,” Melissa continued after a pause. “More than usual.” Max didn’t respond immediately. He didn’t need to. He had already come to the same conclusion the moment Melissa mentioned Mia wanting to be alone. She had figured it out. Or at least, enough of it. “Thank you, Melis

  • Fake Marriage With The Mysterious Billionaire    chapter 46

    When everything was finally done, Mia felt like she could barely breathe. The dress had been fitted, adjusted and admired by everyone in the room... Elian had circled her like a man possessed, muttering under his breath about perfection, symmetry, and how the final stitching had elevated everything beyond his expectations. Melissa had stood close by the entire time, watching, occasionally nodding, occasionally correcting the maids when needed. Mia had stood there through it all still and silent, smiling when she had to. Answering when spoken to. But inside, her chest had felt tighter with every passing second. By the time Elian finally declared himself satisfied and the dress was carefully packed away again, Mia felt like she had been holding her breath for hours. “Perfect,” Elian had said, his eyes gleaming with pride. “Absolutely perfect.” Mia had nodded. But the word echoed differently in her mind. Perfect. That was what Max wanted too, wasn’t it? A perfec

  • Fake Marriage With The Mysterious Billionaire    chapter 45

    Max’s office was silent except for the soft ticking of the clock mounted on the far wall. Morning light filtered through the tall windows behind his desk, casting long streaks of pale gold across the polished floor. The room carried the same atmosphere it always did, everything perfectly arranged, nothing out of place. Max sat behind his desk, flipping through a stack of documents. To anyone walking in, he looked completely normal. Focused, calm and working. But Scott knew better. Scott had been working with Max for years, long enough to recognize when something was different. And this morning something definitely was. Scott stood near the side table, a tablet in his hand as he reviewed the morning schedule. He had already updated Max about several meetings and handled three phone calls on his behalf, but his attention kept drifting back to the man behind the desk. Max hadn’t spoken much since arriving. Which wasn’t unusual. But there was a quiet tension in the room that h

  • Fake Marriage With The Mysterious Billionaire    chapter 44

    Mia didn’t remember when the sky outside her window began to lighten. At some point during the endless hours of staring at the ceiling, the deep darkness had softened into the pale grey of early morning. The house slowly began to wake, she could hear sound of movement coming from downstairs. But Mia had not slept. Not even for a minute. Her eyes burned from exhaustion, yet her mind remained restless, replaying the events of the night over and over again. Max’s voice in the darkness. The way he had already been there. Waiting. The warning in his words. A soft knock suddenly broke the silence. Mia sat up instantly. Her heart jumped. For a moment, she simply stared at the door. Another knock followed, it was gentle but firm. It had to be Melissa. Or one of the maids calling her down for breakfast. Still, the suddenness of it made her stomach twist nervously. Had Max said something? Did Melissa already know about last night? Mia quickly stood and smoothed down the wrin

    The walk back upstairs felt longer than it ever had before. Mia stepped out of the dark room first, the dim hallway lights suddenly feeling far too bright after the suffocating darkness inside. Her eyes adjusted slowly as her mind raced, her pulse still pounding loudly in her ears. Max’s words echoed relentlessly. You might discover things you won’t survive knowing. She swallowed hard. Well that was why she was here in the first place, but she had to survive one way or another. Without another word, she started walking. The hallway stretched ahead of her, but she could feel it the unmistakable presence behind her. Heavy, controlled footsteps followed at a steady distance. Max. He wasn’t rushing or speaking. But he was there and Mia could feel it with every step she took. Her stomach twisted. Was he escorting her back… or watching her? She kept her gaze forward, refusing to look back even though every nerve in her body screamed to check. Her bare feet moved a

  • Fake Marriage With The Mysterious Billionaire    chapter 42

    Mia waited and waited and waited. The house had long since gone quiet. By the time the clock on her bedside table crept past midnight, the entire estate felt like it had fallen asleep. Still, Mia didn’t move. She sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the dark window across from her, listening. Her heart beating steadily in her chest. Because the truth was… she had already decided hours ago that she was going to do this. The hallway had been haunting her all day. Every conversation with Clara, every careful smile she gave Melissa, every polite nod during the wedding planning, it had all been a performance to cover the one thought she couldn’t shake. What was behind that door? And why had Max walked in there like he was stepping into something painful? Mia checked the clock again. 12:17 a.m. If Melissa had any habit of late-night patrols, Mia hadn’t seen evidence of it yet. The housekeeper usually disappeared shortly after dinner, and the rest of the staff stayed confined

    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

    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 absen

    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 sh

    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 s
