Laura’s POV

My father was waiting in one of the smaller executive offices when Quinn and I finally walked in.

For one strange second, I forgot how to breathe.

George stood beside the window with one hand tucked into the pocket of his trousers, his attention fixed on the city outside. His hair had more gray in it now, salt and pepper threaded through the dark strands, but somehow he looked exactly the same.

He still had that polished, expensive appearance that made people instinctively straighte

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   EXERCISE OF HUMILIATION

    Laura’s POVBy the time we reached Bellmere, I had already regretted agreeing to this weekend at least twelve times.Bellmere was the kind of quiet coastal city where wealthy people went when they wanted to disappear without actually giving up their private chefs, security teams, or enormous houses. My father had one of his vacation estates here, tucked away behind tall iron gates and rows of perfectly trimmed hedges.Quinn’s hand rested over mine as we drove through the gates.I stared through the window.Nothing had changed.The house was enormous, almost ridiculous in size, with tall windows, white stone walls, and balconies overlooking the ocean. It was beautiful.And somehow, the moment I stepped inside, I felt like a child again.The polished floors. The expensive paintings. The endless rooms that seemed to exist solely to impress people who weren't me.I remembered growing up in houses like this, constantly looking for my father's attention and constantly discovering that there

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   DIFFICULT TO READ

    Quinn’s POVTwo days later, I was beginning to suspect that every answer we found only managed to create three more questions.I sat behind my desk, staring at Devon across from me while he leaned back in his chair like he had absolutely no idea that my patience was hanging by a thread.“So,” I said, folding my hands together. “Tell me what you know.”Devon blinked. “About what?”I stared at him.He grinned.“Right. Sorry. The kidnapping investigation.”“I'm glad we're on the same page.”He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “I've been talking to Elena.”I immediately narrowed my eyes.“Just talking?”“Talking. Going out. Eating. Watching her glare at me while I annoy her. Normal things.”“Have you learned anything useful?”“Not exactly.”My jaw tightened.Devon lifted both hands. “I'm getting there.”“You've been getting there for weeks.”“And Rome wasn't built in a day.”“Don't compare my investigation to the Roman Empire.”“Fine. The empire was significantly less comp

    Laura’s POVMy father was waiting in one of the smaller executive offices when Quinn and I finally walked in.For one strange second, I forgot how to breathe.George stood beside the window with one hand tucked into the pocket of his trousers, his attention fixed on the city outside. His hair had more gray in it now, salt and pepper threaded through the dark strands, but somehow he looked exactly the same.He still had that polished, expensive appearance that made people instinctively straighten their backs when he entered a room. His shirt was perfectly pressed, his watch probably cost more than a standard apartment, and his expression carried the same detached confidence I remembered from childhood.The same face that had watched me grow up without ever really seeing me.I hadn't seen him in almost two years.And somehow, the sight of him didn't make me feel nostalgic.It made my stomach twist.His gaze shifted from the window to me, then to Quinn.A smile slowly appeared.“Well,” h

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   BIG DECISION

    Laura’s POVThe decision felt enormous.Everyone was staring at me, waiting for an answer, but my mouth refused to cooperate. I should say something. I definitely had to say something. Yet every time I tried to gather my thoughts, another question appeared and pushed the first one aside.What if I made the wrong decision?What if accepting Anto’s offer turned out to be one of the best things that could happen to Titan Media? What if it opened doors I hadn't even imagined? What if refusing it meant I was throwing away an opportunity I might never get again?And what if accepting it was exactly what Anto wanted?There were simply too many what-ifs running through my head.Before I could force myself to speak, a calm, familiar hand settled around my shoulders.“Perhaps we should give her some time to think about this,” Quinn said, his voice steady beside me.I looked up at him.He wasn't looking at Anto anymore.He was looking at me.Anto seemed to consider that for a moment before givin

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   CHANGE EVERYTHING

    Laura’s POVThe tension in the boardroom was nearly palpable.I could feel everyone's eyes on me. Watching me. Watching Quinn. Watching the strange little battle of wills unfolding between him and Anto. Most especially, Anto's eyes kept drifting from Quinn to me and then back to Quinn, as though he was trying to solve some puzzle that neither of us had given him permission to touch.It was unsettling.The only thing keeping me grounded was Quinn's hand resting on my thigh beneath the table, his fingers moving in slow, absentminded circles against the fabric of my skirt. Every now and then, his thumb brushed over the same spot, a quiet reminder that I wasn't sitting here alone.It made me feel less like a zoo animal.Because that was what it felt like.Everyone was watching.The meeting began with Anto already making demands, which immediately put Quinn in a mood that could probably curdle milk."This merger has been prolonged for far too long," Anto began, calmly shuffling through the

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   IT IS WHAT IT IS

    Quinn’s POVMonday morning arrived far too quickly.I had spent the entire weekend pretending I had somewhere better to be, even though I had barely left Laura’s side. She had warmed my bed more times than I cared to count, and every time I woke up with her beside me, something inside my chest loosened.I hadn’t felt this kind of peace in a long time.Which was precisely why I was beginning to hate Monday already.The meeting with Anto was necessary. I knew that. I had arranged it for a reason, even if Laura still had no idea what that reason was. But every time I looked at her, I found myself questioning whether I should postpone the entire damn thing and spend the day somewhere far less complicated.Like my bedroom.Laura stood in the living room, checking herself in the mirror one last time. She wore a fitted white shirt tucked into a black skirt, with a tailored jacket sitting neatly over her shoulders. It was professional enough for a business meeting.Unfortunately, it was also

    LauraThe first thing I felt was the scent. It didn't smell like the sterile, bleach-heavy air of a hospital. It smelled like expensive oud, aged whiskey, and something dangerously masculine.I blinked my eyes open. The ceiling was charcoal grey, accented with soft, recessed LED lighting."You're a
