Laura's POV

I had my dinner and headed straight to my room.

The routine had become embarrassingly familiar.

First, the windows.

I checked every lock twice.

Then the closet.

I slid the doors open and stared into the darkness between the hanging clothes.

Nothing.

Under the bed next.

I crouched, ignoring the pull in my healing wrist, and looked beneath it.

Still nothing.

Finally, the bathroom.

Shower curtain.

Cabinets.

Behind the door.

Empty.

Only then did I allow myself to breathe.

  • 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

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   FAUX FRIEND SHOW

    Laura’s POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was that the ceiling was unfamiliar.The second was the arm wrapped around my waist.I froze.For several seconds, I didn't move. I simply stared at the unfamiliar room, trying to understand where I was and why my body felt so heavy.Then I slowly turned my head.Anto.He was asleep beside me, his breathing steady, his face completely peaceful.My stomach dropped.Memories began returning in fragments.The party.The music.The pond.My stupid words.Take me home with you.Then everything after that."Fuck," I whispered, closing my eyes.Fuck.How could I have done this?How could I have allowed myself to get to this point?I carefully slipped out of Anto's arms, moving slowly enough not to wake him. My clothes were scattered across the bedroom floor, and the sight alone made my face burn. I looked around for my underwear and couldn't find it anywhere.Fantastic.Just absolutely fantastic.I had officially lost whatever tiny

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   JUST FOR YOU

    Laura’s POVBy the time I arrived at the restaurant, the noise had already reached me from outside.Music spilled through the open doors, mixing with the sound of laughter and overlapping conversations. Cars lined the street, and through the glass windows, I could see people gathered around long tables, drinks raised in the air as they talked over one another.For a second, I considered turning around.I had spent the entire ride telling myself that coming here was a good idea. Anto had been right. I needed to get out. I needed to spend time around people who weren't involved in the mess that had swallowed my life over the past few weeks.But standing outside the restaurant, I wasn't so sure anymore.Still, I pushed the thought away and walked inside.The moment I entered, a few familiar faces immediately turned toward me."Laura!" Carly called, waving me over.I smiled and walked toward her.She stood up almost immediately and pulled me into a quick hug before introducing me to the p

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   A NIGHT JUST FOR ME

    Laura’s POVA few days later, I officially resumed work at Starshot Studios.The moment I stepped onto the set, the familiarity of it all slowly wrapped itself around me. The cameras, the scattered scripts, the movement of crew members rushing from one side of the studio to another, the faint smell of coffee drifting through the air, and the occasional call from someone asking for a lighting adjustment. It was strangely comforting.For a few minutes, I allowed myself to forget everything else.I moved around the set, meeting the members of my cast and getting introduced to the people I would be working with over the next few months. I met the director, the assistant director, several members of the production team, and a few other people who would be involved in making the movie come together.Today was mostly about formalities.Tomorrow, we would begin rehearsals. After that would come the pre-shooting preparations, and the following week, I would officially begin shooting the movie.

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   A PLACE OF MY OWN

    Laura’s POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the silence.The hotel room was quiet enough that I could hear the faint hum of the air conditioner above me. For a few seconds, I simply stared at the ceiling, confused about where I was. Then I remembered yesterday.Quinn.His confession.My hands tightened around the sheets.I turned my face away and squeezed my eyes shut, but it did nothing to stop the memories from returning. His voice. His expression. The way he had looked at me when he admitted that the accident hadn't been an accident at all.I sat up slowly.The digital clock on the bedside table read 1:07 p.m.I had slept that long?Apparently, my body had decided that thinking about my life could wait until after a twelve-hour shutdown.I rubbed my face and sighed.Quinn had built an entire relationship with me on a lie I hadn't even known existed.I couldn't keep doing this.I needed somewhere of my own.A house.Not Quinn's house. Not my father's estate. Not anywh

  • 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

    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
