Devon

None of it made sense.

I stared at the three monitors in front of me, exhaustion burning behind my eyes while lines of code reflected against the lenses of my glasses.

For the seventh night in a row, I was still trying to trace the anonymous messages threatening Laura Cardiff.

And for the seventh night in a row, I was getting absolutely nowhere.

I dragged a hand down my face and leaned back in my chair.

The editing suite was nearly empty this late at night. The only sounds came from the q

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   SECOND CHANCES

    DEVON'S POVI had spent the better part of the morning trying to convince myself not to go.It would have been easier to stay away from the police station, pretend Elena no longer existed, and let the authorities handle everything from there. Her court hearing was only two days away, and soon enough, she would have to face the consequences of everything she had done to Laura.That was the entire point of my mission in the first place.I had gotten close to Elena because I needed to know whether she was responsible for what happened to Laura. I needed evidence. I needed the truth. I had expected the process to be difficult, but I had never expected myself to become emotionally involved.That was the part I hated most.I hated that somewhere along the way, Elena had stopped being a suspect and started becoming a person to me. I hated that I had begun looking forward to seeing her, listening to her, and spending time around her. Most of all, I hated that the mission had succeeded.She re

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   MY OLD LIFE

    Laura’s POVFor several minutes after waking up, I simply sat there.“Quinn.”His name still lingered in the room, even though I knew I had been the one to say it.I rubbed my face and stared into the darkness.It had only been a dream.A stupid, meaningless dream.So why did it feel so real?I could still see his face changing.I could still hear his voice telling me that I had him, just before everything about him became distorted.I pulled my knees toward my chest and rested my chin on them.Maybe my mind was simply tired.Maybe I had spent too much time thinking about him.Or maybe there was something cruel about the fact that even after everything he had confessed, even after I had asked for a divorce, he still occupied a ridiculous amount of space inside my head.I tried lying back down.I closed my eyes.Nothing.I turned onto my side.Still nothing.I pulled the blanket over my head.My mind immediately returned to Quinn.I groaned and threw the blanket off.Sleep clearly wasn

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   JUST A DREAM

    Laura’s POVBy the time I got back to the hotel, I felt like I had lived through an entire month in a single afternoon.I closed the door behind me and stood there for several seconds, my hand still resting on the handle.I was exhausted.Not the kind of exhaustion that a good night's sleep could fix, either. It was the kind that settled somewhere deep inside your bones and made even the thought of moving feel like work.I dropped my bag beside the door and slipped off my shoes before walking toward the bed.Quinn.Just thinking about him made my chest tighten.Every single time I saw him, I convinced myself that I was prepared.I told myself I would remain calm. I would remember everything he had done. I would remember the lies, the manipulation, the accident, the marriage that had begun because of a plan I had known nothing about.I would remember all of it.And then I would see his face.And somehow, all those carefully arranged walls inside my head would collapse.Today hadn't bee

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   THERE HAD TO BE SOMEONE ELSE

    Quinn’s POVIt had been two treacherous weeks of staying away from Laura.Not because I wanted to.God knew I wanted nothing more than to walk into the hotel, sit across from her, and explain everything until she understood exactly how sorry I was.But I couldn't.After what happened, I knew she needed space.Anto had made that very clear.He had told me to leave her alone, and although every instinct in me wanted to ignore him, I couldn't bring myself to make Laura feel trapped again. Not after everything I had already done to her.So I stayed away.I didn't call.I didn't even ask anyone to check on her.I gave her what she had asked for without actually saying the words.Space.I convinced myself that eventually she would be ready to talk.Maybe after a few weeks, she would calm down enough for us to sit together and discuss everything properly. Maybe she would let me explain why I had done what I did, even though I knew no explanation could excuse it.I knew I had ruined something

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   HEAR ME OUT

    Laura’s POV(Two weeks later.)It had been two weeks since that stupid night with anto. Since I saw ember and had to hear her say all manner of nonsense.I hadn't seen much of Anto, and as for Quinn I hadn't seen him since.And honestly, I was grateful.The distance had given me room to breathe.Not enough to heal, but enough to think without his presence constantly interfering with my thoughts.The movie had become my escape.Every morning, I arrived at the set, changed into whatever costume the production team had prepared, went through rehearsals, listened to the director's instructions, and spent hours learning how to become someone else.It was strange how easy it was to disappear into a character when I desperately wanted to disappear from myself.The shooting hadn't officially begun in the grand sense of the word. We were still figuring out the new set, adjusting lighting, moving equipment around, and making changes to scenes that didn't quite work the way they had looked on pa

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   ENOUGH TO GET MY ATTENTION

    Hemsworth’s POVBy the time Ember came home, I could tell from the way she slammed the front door that something had happened.I looked up from my phone as she stormed into the living room, her expression twisted with anger.“You wouldn't believe what that woman did to me today,” she said, dropping her bag onto the sofa.I frowned.“What woman?”“Laura.”That got my attention.Ember immediately launched into the story.According to her, Laura had humiliated her, insulted her, insulted our relationship, and practically accused her of stealing me from her.She repeated every word with increasing outrage, adding little details that made the whole thing sound considerably worse than it probably had been.I listened.But there was one thing she said that mattered more than everything else.Laura had apparently spent the night somewhere that wasn't her hotel.And Ember believed she might have cheated on Quinn.I sat back slowly.Laura.My Laura.Something had happened.“What exactly did she

    Laura Seven months.Seven months of sweating out my old life in Quinn’s private gym. Seven months of speech therapy to find the voice Hemsworth had spent years trying to silence. Seven months of learning the dark, jagged secrets of the entertainment industry from the man who sat at the very top of

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   MARRY ME FOR REVENGE

    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

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   SHE'S PREGNANT

    LauraThe beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound in the sterile VIP suite.I stared at the white ceiling, my side burning with a dull, throbbing ache. It had been three days. Three days since the surgeons took a piece of my liver and put it into my husband’s body.The door clicked open. I

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   ROOM 404

    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
