Mia hadn’t expected to see him when she walked into the dinning room that evening.

Dinner had become a quiet, predictable routine over the past weeks. She walked into the dining room that evening with her shoulders already relaxed, prepared for another silent meal taken alone at the long table, the echo of cutlery and the soft footsteps of maids her only company.

She took one step inside and froze.

Max Hult was seated at the head of the table.

For a second, Mia thought she might be imagin

  • 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

    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

    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

    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 eleganc

    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, gues

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 h

    Max stood on the balcony of his room, one hand resting on the cold railing as the night air brushed against his skin. The estate was quiet, almost eerily so, but that was how he liked it. Silence had always been his comfort. Noise, crowds, forced conversations, they drained him in ways nothing els
