The moment they stepped fully onto the grounds, Mia knew she was in trouble when heads turned and the conversations of pepole paused.

Eyes followed them in a way that made her skin prickle.

It wasn’t just that she was surrounded by people who clearly belonged in this world of wealth and elegance, it was the shock written plainly on their faces. Max Hult was known for many things, but attending parties was not one of them. He was known notoriously for never attending any social gatherings ev

  • 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

    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

    When Mia finally retreated upstairs after lunch and other appointments for the day, the house returned to its usual rhythm. Melissa watched her disappear up the staircase before turning back toward the sitting room. The folders Clara had left behind were neatly stacked now, the chairs pushed back into place, the room looking as though the meeting had never happened. Melissa picked up her tablet, glancing briefly at the notes she had made. Then she closed it. There was something else she needed to do. Something she had been instructed to do from the very beginning. She left the sitting room and walked down the main hallway with steady, practiced steps. Her shoes made almost no sound against the polished floors as she moved deeper into the house, toward a wing that most of the staff rarely entered. Max’s study was at the far end. The door was partially open. Melissa paused only long enough to knock softly before pushing it open. Max was seated behind his desk. The room was d

    By the time Mia and Melissa returned to the sitting room, Mia had already forced her expression back into something calm. But inside, her thoughts were still circling the hallway like restless birds. The door. The way Melissa’s eyes had flicked toward it. The subtle pause in her voice afterward. Mia’s stomach tightened. She might have made a mistake. It wasn’t just curiosity that worried her, it was the possibility that Melissa had noticed it. And if Melissa noticed, there was a very real chance Max would know about it too. Melissa was the housekeeper. She ran the household like a quiet machine, every detail flowing through her hands before reaching anyone else. Mia had already learned that nothing in this house escaped her notice for long. Which meant she had to be smarter and more careful. And above all… less suspicious. You need to give her something else to focus on, Mia told herself. Something ordinary. Something that made wandering down a random hallw

    Mia returned to her room in a daze, her mind still spinning from everything Max had said in the study. She pushed the door open and froze because the first thing she saw was boxes There were boxes everywhere. Large boxes stacked against the walls, smaller ones lined neatly at the foot of the

    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 stil

    “I know it came as a shock,” Max said calmly. “I will explain what I mean tomorrow. Just think about it for now.” Before Mia could say another word, he stood up and walked out of the study, leaving her frozen in place, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.___ Max stood on the spacious balc

    Jessa’s apartment was unusually quiet, the kind of silence that made every second feel longer than it actually was. Jessa stood by the window, her arms crossed tightly and her eyes staring at the skyline though she wasn’t really seeing it. She was thinking. Everything was supposed to be going acco
