Eric’s voice came through the line, low but tense, the kind of tone that made my stomach knot before I even heard the words.
“Sir, I’ve cross-referenced the photo Mia provided. The resolution is poor, grainy at best, but the stance, the build—it matches someone in the records.”
I stopped pacing, my entire body stilling in the middle of the study. The phone felt heavier in my hand, my grip tightening until the edges pressed painfully into my palm. “Who?” I demanded, my voice clipped.
There was a pause, longer than it should have been. I could hear Eric’s breath through the line, the weight of what he was about to say hanging between us. Finally, he spoke. “Preliminary analysis points to Liam.”
The name slammed into me like a blow. For a heartbeat, everything inside me went still, as if

Mia’s POVI couldn’t breathe. The room felt smaller, heavier, as if the walls themselves carried Liam’s name.“Clarissa,” I whispered, clutching the edge of the desk. “She helped him. All this time, she was helping him.”Xander’s hand brushed mine. “It seems so.”My stomach churned. “And I trusted her once. I defended her when people said she wasn’t loyal to him.” My voice cracked. “God, I feel sick.”“Mia.” Xander’s tone softened. “You didn’t know.”“That doesn’t make it easier!” I snapped, tears threatening. “She smiled at me. She comforted me when Liam broke me. All the while…”“All the while she was covering for him,” he finished

His Bride By Contract Chapter 65: Update
Xander’s POVI pushed the study door shut behind me, the soft thud sealing me away from the rest of the house. The air inside felt heavy, thick with the scent of old leather and paper. My phone was pressed to my ear, the only tether between me and the answers I couldn’t seem to reach.“Eric,” I said, keeping my voice low, controlled. “Any update?”There was a crackle on the other end, then his voice, steady but cautious. “No, sir. But the trail isn’t cold anymore. The photo Mia gave us, it’s something.”My hand curled into a fist at my side, knuckles straining until they ached. “Something isn’t enough,” I snapped, sharper than I intended. I paced the length of the room, the floorboards creaking under my steps. “I need names. I need connections. I need to know who that man was.”
His Bride By Contract Chapter 64: Support
Mia’s POVThe headline burned on the screen like a wound I couldn’t look away from:“From Courtroom Drama to Cupcakes: Mia Blake’s Attempt at Reinvention.”The words were sharp, merciless, as though they had been carved specifically to mock me. My throat went dry, and my hands trembled around the phone. They’d taken the one fragile dream I was clinging to and turned it into a punchline. My bakery, my chance at something new, had become fodder for strangers who had no idea what it cost me to even breathe some mornings.I blinked rapidly, but the letters on the screen stayed, glaring, almost alive in their cruelty. My chest ached as if the phone itself was pressing down on me.Before I could fully process it, Sophie stormed in, her footsteps sharp against the floor. She was already waving her tablet in the air like a weapon.

Mia’s POVSophie looped her arm through mine as we made our way down the busy street, her grip firm and steady, as if she could anchor me against the tide of people rushing past.The city hummed around us, horns, chatter, the clatter of shoes on pavement. My chest felt tight, but her presence kept me from unraveling completely.“Alright, Mia,” she said, her tone deliberately light, almost playful. “Don’t panic. These are just buildings, not monsters.”I let out a shaky breath, the corners of my mouth tugging upward into a half-smile. “You didn’t read the comments this morning,” I murmured, voice low enough that it almost disappeared under the noise of the street. “Some people would disagree with you.”Her eyes flicked toward me, sharp and protective. She gave my arm a firm squeeze, her warmth seeping through my
His Bride By Contract Chapter 62: Husband duties
Mia’s POV~I sat at the dining table, the surface buried beneath scattered papers. Scribbled recipes filled one page after another, chocolate tarts, lemon drizzle cakes, rustic sourdoughs. Beside them were rough sketches of logos I had attempted in the margins, lopsided drawings of cupcakes and swirling fonts that never looked quite right. Next to that, clumsy lists of costs stared back at me with unforgiving numbers. Flour, sugar, butter, rent, equipment, the sums never seemed to balance. My fingers drummed against the wood in a restless rhythm, as though the tapping might summon answers I couldn’t find.The door creaked open, and Sophie’s familiar footsteps carried her inside. She was balancing two paper cups, the comforting scent of coffee trailing in with her. She stopped short when her eyes landed on the chaotic sprawl before me.“You look like a mad scientist,” she said, lifting one
