His heartbeat was slow and steady beneath the fabric of his suit.“Why?” He whispered, his eyes searching into mine. “Are you afraid that spending every day with me might make you fall for me?”Heat rushed into my face.I shoved lightly against his chest. “Keep dreaming.”“Even if you were the last man alive on Earth… I wouldn't spare you a second glance.”One corner of his mouth lifted into the faintest smirk. “You can a

Aria’s POV What?I pressed myself against the pillar, hiding as I listened to Alexander and Leo’s conversation, like my whole life depended on every word they said. Leo saved me? How? When?"If you hate her that much," Alexander said, his voice low, "then why'd you hack the security system and tip off James about the attack the first day she got here?""I don't know what you're on about, Alex." Leo didn't even blink."Don't play dumb, Leo. James told me everything."My hand flew to my mouth. “Is Leo a hacker? That little boy? He'd known from the start I was here. How the hell was that even possible? That arrogant….My heart was beating so fast as I pressed my back harder into the cold pillar, my fingers still clamping over my lips as my legs turned to jelly beneath me. He knew. He had known all along."Are you done eavesdropping?"I nearly screamed when I heard that voice. I sharply turned and saw Leo was right before me, his arms crossed. He hadn't even raised his voice. Alexander
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 99: Why Did You Save Her?
Alexander's POVI drew in a slow breath, forcing my expression to remain calm.“Grandpa, I'm not hiding anything. I simply don't want Leo to continue his education here.”“Why?” He asked, not letting the matter rest. The determination in his eyes told me as much. “Why can't he stay here and grow up around his family? If there's nothing you're hiding from us, then let him remain in Australia. He can continue his education here, and the world will know he exists.”“No, Grandpa!”“What? You said you're hiding nothing. So what's wrong now?” I needed to think of something. Anything that would put an end to this conversation. I couldn't allow Grandpa to know the truth about the Boss. If he found out, he would surely uncover what really happened to Isabella. Even worse, he might learn the circumstances surrounding the day Isabella and Gabriel died.“Answer me, young man! What exactly are you hiding from this family? This is the last time I'll ask you.”“Grandpa…”“Grandpa, Alexander is afra
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 98: Is This a Family Meeting?
Alexander's POV Mrs Clara held him closer, her face filled with sympathy. Amelia lowered her gaze, while Mila stood quietly beside Aria, trying to process everything that was unfolding in front of her. I remained where I was. Leo, who had just poured out everything he had kept inside for years, hadn't gone off my head, but I refused to let them change my decision. I couldn't let the world know about him. I promised Isabella I could protect him from the Boss. I can't afford to let him know we had a child. “Amelia, once your flight is ready, you're going back to London with Leo.” That was all I said before turning to the staircase. I climbed the stairs without looking back and headed straight for my bedroom. The moment I entered, I slammed the door so loud behind me.I loosened my tie roughly and pulled off my suit jacket, throwing it carelessly onto the bed. I dragged both hands through my hair before hitting the back of my palm against the wall.Damn it!Why did everything have to
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 97: Leo is Back
Alexander's POVThe cemetery was so quiet when I finally turned away from Isabella's grave. A cool breeze swept across the grounds, stirring the leaves of the trees lining the narrow paths. The last traces of daylight had faded, leaving the headstones beneath the soft glow of the surrounding lamps and a bright moon shining from above.I slipped my hands into my coat pockets, walking away. For the past five years, I had come here countless times, bringing flowers, sitting beside her grave, and talking to her about things I could never bring myself to share with anyone else. But tonight… the words refused to come out.I exhaled slowly and continued walking toward the path, leading to the cemetery gates. My phone vibrated against my body. I frowned and reached into my pocket. I thought I had set my phone on flight mode. Now who dares to call me?James's name flashed across the screen.My frown deepened. I swiped down the screen and noticed I on my Wi-Fi instead of the flight mode. What

Aria's POV "He insisted on coming back for Grandpa's birthday celebration. He wanted to surprise him, but the flight delay ruined his plans." Amelia replied.Mrs Clara sighed. "You should have told me you were coming.""And miss the surprise?" Amelia smiled faintly. "Where's the fun in that, Nanny?"Mrs Clara gradually settled her gaze on me, and the smile on her face faltered. I knew what she was thinking. She was wondering whether I had discovered the truth about Leo. She knew if I did, I would be angry at her for keeping his identity from me. The secrets she'd guarded for so long had finally caught up with her. She was probably expecting my reaction.But I had other things to worry about. My mind was already occupied with the strange memories about Isabella. I couldn't afford to lose myself in another mystery when I was still struggling to understand my identity. If I were able to handle being Alexander's wife, I guess being this child’s mother wouldn't be as difficult. Besides, t

Aria's POV Amelia quickly went to meet him."Leo, get inside." She ordered, glancing nervously at the people passing nearby. "Someone might see your face. And how did you even manage to open the door?"Leo ignored her questions. "Don't try to change the subject, aunt. I caught you red-handed lying to her face.” "Get inside, Leo, and don't play innocent here, pretending you don't know what you're doing. When we get home, we'll discuss this matter."Silence. "Leo!"The little boy folded his arms across his chest. “What?”“Are you deaf?”He sneered. "Why don't you go inside yourself and stay there? Since you enjoy telling everyone what to do?"My lips parted. Goodness! Just take a look at that arrogance. His blood certainty ran through his veins. Was he always this difficult? How did Amelia manage to put up with him?Surprisingly, Amelia didn't appear shocked by his attitude. Rather, her expression changed every minute. It seemed she was already accustomed to his stubbornness. People

Aria's POV Where did that memory come from? I remember when I grew up in the United States. I remembered my fifth birthday party with the lopsided cake; my graduation; my dad's burial; and every detail of my life in New York from the time I was a little girl until now. So why was my brain showing

Aria's POV My life in New York was simple. I worked hard day and night to become the woman I am now. I was good at my job because I believed in facts and logic. But looking at that wedding photo, logic was dead. I raised my trembling hand, trying to touch the portrait. But stop in mid-air, foldi

Alexander’s POV I leaned my head back against the chair, closing my eyes. Inside this room, I had spent the last four hours staring at both Isabella Grey file records, a spy who once worked for a syndicate and Aria Bennett file records, a top-tier architect from New York. The dates didn't make

Aria’s POV I adjusted the strap of my handbag as I stepped out of the terminal, my eyes scanning the unfamiliar city in Australia. The sun was warm against my skin, but it did little to calm the strange unease twisting inside my stomach. This was my first international project as an architect. Th
