Quinn’s POV

It 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 afte

  • 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

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

  • 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

    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

    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.

    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
