He showed up, listened when Laura said no, and never confused being the child's father with owning Laura.Their relationship wasn't romantic.It didn't need to be.They had found something quieter.Anto had recovered too.It had taken almost a year before he felt completely like himself again. He had lost the movie that once seemed like his doorway into

    QUINN'S POVSix months had passed since the DNA test.Six months since I learned that the little boy sleeping in Laura's arms was my son.Sometimes I still said the words quietly, just to hear them.My son.They never felt less frightening.They only became more real.Laura and I had settled into something neither of us had expected. We weren't together. We weren't pretending to be. There were no secret kisses or promises. There was simply our son.And somehow, that was enough to keep us connected.I saw him twice a week when Laura was in the city. I attended appointments when she invited me. I sent clothes and toys, although Laura had warned me our son did not need a new gift every time I saw him.Laura had bought a house right next to Riley's.“You're going to turn him into a spoiled little prince,” she told me one afternoon.I looked at the ridiculous collection of toys on the floor.“He deserves it.”“He's just six months old.”“He has expensive taste.”She laughed.That laugh sti

    LAURA'S POVThe first thing I heard after my son was born was his cry.The second thing I heard was Riley crying beside me.I smiled weakly as the nurse placed my baby against my chest. He was tiny, warm, red-faced, and furious about being dragged into the world.“Hello,” I whispered, touching his cheek. “You really took your time.”Riley laughed through her tears.“You were screaming five minutes ago.”“I was allowed to.”The nurse adjusted the blanket around him. I stared at his face, trying to understand that he was mine.My son.But one thought remained buried beneath everything else.Who was his father?The answer had followed me for nine months.I had tried not to think about it. I had failed.A knock sounded, and Riley turned.Quinn stood at the doorway.He looked like he had driven through half the country without stopping. His hair was messy, his shirt wrinkled, and his face was pale with exhaustion.His eyes went straight to the baby.He stopped breathing for a second.“Can

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   BEFORE THE BABY

    LAURA'S POVNine months in Dewdrop had changed me in ways I never expected.The woman who arrived here had been running.I was still here.That felt important.Life had become surprisingly ordinary. Riley and I had turned our little baking arrangement into something real. We supplied banana bread, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, cookies, pies, and whatever else people ordered to cafés, grocery stores, restaurants, and small events around Dewdrop and the neighboring towns. Every few weeks, someone from a larger city would place an order, and Riley would celebrate like we had just conquered the world.I had learned to bake.Money wasn't a problem either. I still had savings from my work on The Last Ember, and even though I wasn't acting at the moment, I wasn't desperate for anything. I could afford the quiet life I had chosen.My relationship with Quinn had changed too.He respected the distance I had asked for. He called occasionally, sent messages about the baby, and never demanded that I r

  • Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret   THE AGREEMENT

    Anto’s POVI had forgotten what it felt like to wake up without pain.Not completely, anyway.There were moments when the medication dulled everything enough for me to pretend I was normal. Then I would try to move my arm, shift my leg, or take a deeper breath, and my body would remind me that normal was still somewhere far away.It had been almost two months since the accident.Two months of hospital ceilings.Two months of nurses checking my blood pressure, oxygen levels, temperature, wounds, medications, and every other number that apparently decided whether I got to see another morning. Someone was always coming into my room. A nurse would adjust something, a doctor would examine me, a physiotherapist would make me perform some tiny movement that left me exhausted.My lungs had taken the worst beating.For days, I had needed machines to help me breathe. My kidneys had struggled. My liver had been affected. My heart had scared everyone enough that nobody stopped watching it closel

    ANONYMOUS POVThe road into Dewdrop narrowed as the evening settled over the town.There were no bright billboards, no crowded intersections, no endless rows of buildings swallowing the horizon. Just a two-lane road cutting between dark trees and small stretches of farmland, with the occasional house sitting far enough from the road to feel almost hidden.The men had been driving for nearly an hour.Their boss had given them one photograph.One photograph, a name, and an instruction.Find Laura Cardiff.Bring her to me.The driver tapped his fingers against the steering wheel while the man in the passenger seat studied the photograph again.“She should be somewhere around here,” the driver said.The passenger lifted the picture closer to his face. “i already told the boss that we should find her in Dewdrop.”“He also said she wouldn't be easy to find.”“Doesn't mean she disappeared into the ground.”The third man in the back seat laughed quietly. “People don't disappear. They just thi

    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

    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
