Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret NOT EVEN DESERVING OF FORGIVENESS
QUINN'S POVLaura had been gone for hours.And somewhere deep inside me, I already knew she wasn't coming back tonight.The thought sat heavily in my chest, refusing to move no matter how many times I tried to distract myself. I had checked my phone more times than I could count. Every few minutes, I found myself looking toward the entrance, almost expecting to see her walk through the door with that tired expression she wore whenever she had had enough of me.But she never came.I deserved that, I deserved every second of this silence.I had spent months controlling pieces of Laura's life without her even knowing it. I had manipulated circumstances, pushed people around her, and created a marriage that had never been built on the truth.And now the truth had finally come crashing down.How could I have done this to her?I dragged both hands through my hair and leaned back against the sofa.The irony wasn't lost on me.My revenge had worked.Hemsworth's career had taken hits. His perf
Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret GET AWAY FROM EVERYTHING
Laura’s POVThe food arrived, and I hated how my mouth watered the moment the plate was placed in front of me.I stared at it for a few seconds, almost offended by my own reaction. I had just spent the better part of the last hour feeling like my entire life had been ripped apart, and somehow my stomach had decided that this was the perfect moment to remind me that I hadn't eaten properly.Anto noticed.“You look like you're about to fight the food,” he said, leaning back in his chair.He laughed quietly, when I didn't answer.I didn't see anything funny.I took the first bite. It was good. Really good.That somehow made me even more irritated.I ate another bite, keeping my eyes on the plate while Anto remained across from me. He had been unusually quiet for the last few minutes, which I appreciated. The last thing I needed was someone interrogating me about what had happened.But apparently, he couldn't stay quiet forever.“You know,” he began, “you don't have to tell me anything yo
Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret LET ME BREATHE
Laura's POVI drove without thinking.The estate disappeared behind me as I pressed harder against the accelerator, the roads blurring into streaks of gray and green. My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles had turned white, but I barely noticed. My chest hurt far more than my fingers ever could.Quinn's words replayed over and over in my head like a song I couldn't turn off.It wasn't an accident.He had been watching me.He had planned everything.Every single thing.I swallowed against the lump growing in my throat.How much of my life had that man been controlling before he had even introduced himself to me?The anonymous messages.My marriage to Hemsworth.The accident.The proposal.The six-month agreement.Even Elena. For all I could know. He could be capable of anything!How many moments that I believed were fate had actually been nothing more than carefully arranged pieces on a chessboard?I let out a shaky laugh that sounded more like a sob."I was su
Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret CRASHING DOWN
Laura's POVMy eyebrows lifted slightly as I studied Quinn's face. He looked... different. Tired. Guilty. Almost frightened."What exactly is going on, Quinn?" I asked gently, resting my hand over his. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"A small, sad smile crossed his face before disappearing just as quickly. He took in another deep breath, as though every word sitting inside him weighed a thousand pounds."That day... after you found out Hemsworth was cheating..." he began, his voice rough. "This is really hard for me to say."I rubbed slow circles over his shoulder, waiting patiently."You deserve better than me, Laura," he said quietly, unable to meet my eyes. "You know that, right?"My brows furrowed."What do you mean?" I asked softly. "Just tell me."He swallowed hard before reaching for both of my hands and holding them tightly between his."I need to let you go."For a second, I wasn't sure I had heard him correctly."What do you mean?" I asked again, my voice calm des
Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret LISTEN TO ME
Laura's POVSoft chirps of birds drifted in through the slightly opened window, blending with the rustle of leaves outside. Warm sunlight spilled across my face, making me squint before I even opened my eyes.I stretched beneath the blanket, letting out a long yawn.For the first time in what felt like forever, my head didn't pound.That alone was enough to make me smile.I rolled onto my side instinctively.The other half of the bed was untouched.I frowned.Quinn...Wasn't here.Didn't he come home last night?The memory returned in pieces. I'd gotten home a little after three in the afternoon. He had promised he'd only be another couple of hours, so I'd waited. Six o'clock came and went. Then seven. By nine, worry had settled heavily in my chest.I'd called him.Again.And again.Every single call had gone straight to voicemail.Eventually, I'd convinced myself he was caught in some emergency meeting and had simply lost track of time. At some point, exhaustion had gotten the better
Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret IT JUST CLICKED
Quinn's POVThree reactions.That was all it took.The silence had barely lasted two seconds before I noticed them.First, her eyes widened. Then her lips pressed together into a thin, rigid line. Finally, her shoulders stiffened just enough that someone else might have missed it.I didn't.I had spent years working beside Elena. I knew every expression she wore. Or at least, I thought I did."I asked you a question, Elena," I said calmly. "I'd like an answer."She swallowed hard before replying. "Sir... I don't think this is a professional conversation.""I asked you a question, Elena," I repeated, my voice firmer this time. "And I expect an answer."She looked at me.Then away.Then toward the window.Finally, her gaze settled on her shoes.I'd never seen her nervous before. Not once. Not during billion-naira negotiations. Not during shareholder meetings. Not while cleaning up disasters that would've made lesser assistants resign on the spot.But now...She couldn't even look me in

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

Hold still, Laura. You’re wrinkling the lapel."Hemsworth slapped my hand away from his chest. His touch, which used to send butterflies erupting in my stomach, now just left a stinging coldness."Sorry," I mumbled, stepping back.He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror of our penthouse, a
