Laura's POV

The next day rolled over quicker than I expected, and before I even realized what was

happening, I was already back on set, standing under bright lights and pretending I wasn't

carrying a storm inside my chest.

I still hadn't replied to my dad's message.

I had stared at those words for hours.

Hello, doll face.

Two simple words, but they carried years of memories I didn't know whether I wanted to hold

onto or throw away.

What was I supposed to say?

Hello, Dad?

Hi, Dad. Nic

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   BEAUTIFUL, DANGEROUS THING

    Laura's POVThe moment I reached for the envelope, everything happened at once."Wait!"One of the guards practically lunged forward.Before my fingers could even touch the paper, two of them gently but firmly grabbed my shoulders and pulled me back.I blinked."What the hell?"The envelope remained in the hands of the third guard."I was just opening it.""I'm sorry, ma'am," one of them said immediately. "You can't do that."I stared at him."Can't do what?""Open the envelope."I looked from one guard to another."Why?""Mr. Cardiff has to see it first."I almost laughed."Are you serious?"None of them laughed.Not even a little.Their faces remained completely blank.The realization slowly settled in.They were serious."How would we know if it's dangerous if nobody opens it?" I asked."Exactly why Mr. Cardiff has to see it first."I groaned."That makes absolutely no sense.""It's standard protocol, ma'am."Standard protocol.I was beginning to hate those two words.Everything lat

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   A VISION OF WHITE

    Laura's POVIf I thought the rumors were bad on my first day back, they were unbearable now.Every day seemed worse than the one before it.And the worst part?Nobody even tried to hide it anymore.At first, people whispered when they thought I couldn't hear them.Now they whispered right in front of me.As if I wasn't there.As if I wasn't a real person.As if I was some strange tragedy they had all bought tickets to watch.Filming was slowly coming to an end, and instead of feeling excited about finishing such a major project, I felt exhausted.Completely exhausted.I was tired of the stares.Tired of the rumors.Tired of being looked at like I was cursed.It wasn't my fault.None of it was.I hadn't asked for any of this.I hadn't asked for threats.I hadn't asked for someone to sneak into my room and nearly strangle me.I hadn't asked to be kidnapped.I hadn't asked to spend days tied to a chair wondering if I was going to survive.And yet somehow I was the one carrying all the sh

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   A POSSIBLE THREAT

    Quinn's POVEverything seemed to be adjusting back to normal.Or at least as normal as things could possibly get after a kidnapping.Laura was back on set.The security team had doubled.The private investigator was still digging into every possible lead.The men we had captured were still refusing to speak.And that was exactly the problem.Nothing was actually normal.Because we still didn't know who had done it.I stared out the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, my jaw tight.The city stretched endlessly beyond the glass.Normally the view helped me think.Today it just irritated me.Someone had kidnapped Laura.Someone had threatened her.Someone had tried to erase her entire life.And despite all my money, all my resources, all my influence, I still couldn't put a name to the face responsible.That pissed me off more than I cared to admit.The door opened quietly.I didn't turn immediately.I already knew who it was.Elena.She stepped into the office carrying several folder

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   DAMSEL IN DISTRESS

    Laura's POVWhen Quinn said he was increasing my security, I hadn't expected him to literally double it.Four armed men.Four massive men who looked like they could break concrete with their bare hands.And they were instructed to escort and follow me everywhere I went, they only retired when I went to sleep and even then they lined themselves at the entrance of my door.And now...The movie set. I felt nervous that I was starting work again after the kidnap but I had to be professional, I had slowed the production of this movie too much anyway.I climbed out of the SUV and immediately felt dozens of eyes turn toward me.Wonderful.Exactly how I wanted to start my morning.Like a circus attraction.The security detail stepped out after me.Two in front.Two behind.A moving wall of muscle.I sighed."Do you really all have to walk this close?"One of them, a square-jawed guy named Collins, nodded."Mr. Cardiff's orders."Of course.I adjusted my bag and headed toward the studio.The w

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HURT ME

    Laura's POVI was safe.That was the first thought that entered my mind.I was actually safe.But my body didn't seem to understand that yet.My hands were still shaking.My breathing was still uneven.Every small sound made me tense.Every movement made me think I was back in that room.Back tied to that chair.Back wondering if anyone was ever going to find me.It was becoming a pattern.A horrible, terrifying pattern.Why was I always the one caught in situations like this?Why did danger keep finding me?First Hemsworth.Then the threats.Then the attack.Then this.It was like my life had turned into one never-ending nightmare.I was tired.So unbelievably tired.Quinn held me firmly as we drove back to the mansion.Not in the way he usually held me.Not like he was trying to remind me of the agreement.Not like I was some responsibility he had to manage.Just... firmly.Like he was making sure I was really there.That I wasn't going anywhere.Ryker drove silently, his eyes focus

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   PURE INSTINCT

    Quinn's POVI was losing my mind.That was the only explanation.Because the more I thought about it, the more the guilt started eating away at me.We were so close.So damn close.And yet somehow, we were still behind.Maybe if we hadn't stopped at the station.Maybe if I hadn't wasted time standing in front of Hemsworth, letting my anger get the better of me.Maybe if I had just listened to Devon and driven straight here the moment we got the lead.Maybe Laura would already be safe.Maybe she would be sitting beside me right now.The thought made my hands tighten around the steering wheel.I was always prepared.Always thinking ten steps ahead.That was how I survived.That was how I built everything I had.I calculated every possibility.Every risk.Every outcome.So how did I miss this?How did I fail to protect her?"Mr. Cardiff."Thomas's voice cut through my thoughts.I glanced at him through the mirror.He looked tense.Focused."Stop the car."My eyebrows pulled together "Wha

    Laura's POV It had been a day. Twenty-four hours since I woke up in this place. Twenty-four hours since I had last seen the outside world. My wrists burned. The ropes had left marks on my skin, deep red lines that reminded me every second that I was still trapped. I had stopped trying

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   RUNNING OUT OF TIME

    Quinn's POVI had never hated silence more.The house was quiet.Too quiet.And every second that passed felt like someone was pressing a blade deeper into my chest.Laura was gone.The thought still didn't feel real. I kept expecting my phone to ring.I kept expecting her name to appear on the scr

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   WHY AM I HERE

    Laura's POVThe first thing I noticed was the pain.Not fear.Not confusion.Pain.A sharp, pounding ache spread through my head, making it feel like my skull was splitting openfrom the inside.I slowly opened my eyes.The room was blurry.For a few seconds, I couldn't remember where I wa

    Quinn's POVIt was past twelve.And Laura still wasn't home.Past fucking twelve.At first, I told myself not to overreact, not to read too much into what was happening.Set could run late.Scenes could take longer than expected.It happened.But then ten minutes became thirty.Thirty becam
