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 even the ones from his extended family. He was so private that people barely knew things about him except what he wanted them to know.

But here he was at a party, not only was he at a party he was attending with a woman on his arm?

Unthinkable.

Mia felt it immediately, the weight of their stares pressing down on her chest, making it hard to breathe. If Max hadn’t been beside her, she was certain she would have turned around and fled back to the car without a second thought. She wanted to be an

  • Fake Marriage With The Mysterious Billionaire    chapter 26

    Chapter 26 Mia was expecting to see the same driver that had brought them to the estate from the hospital. She remembered how polite he was. So when the driver’s door opened and the man from the study stepped out instead, her steps faltered. she remembered the way he stared at her when she saw him in Max study like he suspected her. “Oh,” she said softly, confusion flickering across her face. Scott smiled easily as he opened the back door. “Good evening, Miss.” Mia nodded awkwardly and glanced toward Max. Max’s expression barely shifted, but she noticed it, the brief pause, the slight narrowing of his eyes. He had clearly been expecting Gerald too. “Gerald mentioned he had something to take care of,” Scott said casually, as though sensing the unspoken question. “I told him I’d drive tonight.” Max studied him for a moment, then simply nodded. He said nothing more. Instead, he stepped forward and opened the car door for Mia. She hesitated, then accepted his hand as she lowe

    The next day passed in a blur Mia could barely keep up with. It started with Clara. By midmorning, Mia was seated once again in the living room, her posture stiff and her hands folded neatly in her lap as Clara launched into yet another round of wedding discussions. Tablets, fabric samples, guest lists, and venue layouts littered the coffee table, each one representing a decision Mia never imagined she would be making, especially not for a wedding that didn’t feel like hers. Clara talked endlessly. About flowers. About seating arrangements. About themes and color palettes and photographers. Mia nodded when expected, muttered agreement when prompted, but her mind was elsewhere. She kept glancing at the clock, the steady ticking making her chest tighten with every passing minute. Max didn’t show up for breakfast. He didn’t show up for lunch either. Part of her was relieved. The other part was unsettled. She didn’t know which feeling scared her more. Anyone would have been ex

    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
