Married To His Secrets Chapter 24
Sophia's eyes fluttered open.For a moment, she was disoriented—soft sheets beneath her, sunlight streaming through the curtains, the familiar weight of her blanket tucked around her.Her room.She was in her bed.But she didn't remember getting here.Sophia sat up slowly, blinking away the remnants of sleep. Her mind felt foggy, reaching for the last thing she could recall.The movie. The terrible action movie with all the explosions. Sitting on the couch with Liam.And then... nothing.She must have fallen asleep.Which meant...Sophia's cheeks warmed.Liam must have carried her to bed.She pressed her hands to her face, feeling the heat radiating from her skin. The thought of him lifting her, carrying her down the hallway, tucking her in—it made something flutter dangerously in her chest.Stop it, she told herself firmly. It's not a big deal. He was just being nice.But the fluttering didn't stop.She imagined it—Liam's arms around her, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, the warmt

Sophia stared at her phone screen, reading the email for the third time."Thank you for your interest in the Marketing Coordinator position at Rue & Co. While we were impressed with your qualifications, we have decided to move forward with another candidate who more closely aligns with our current needs..."The words blurred together.She set the phone down on the coffee table, carefully, like it might shatter if she moved too quickly.Another rejection.She'd known it was coming. Had felt it in her gut when she'd left the interview, despite Liam's reassurances. But knowing didn't make it hurt any less.The apartment was quiet. Too quiet.Sophia pulled her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. She stared at the blank TV screen, her reflection ghostly and distorted in the black glass.Maybe I should start up a business, she told herself. I can't remain like this.But the words felt hollow.The front door opened.Sophia straightened quickly, swiping at her eyes even thou

The boardroom was all dark wood and glass walls, designed to intimidate.Edward sat near the middle of the long table, surrounded by other department heads and senior executives. The air was thick with tension—everyone knew what this meeting was about, even if no one dared say it out loud.The new CEO was being introduced today.Edward's jaw was tight, his hands clasped on the table in front of him. He'd barely slept in the past week, running searches, making calls, trying to find out who had bought his company out from under him.Nothing.Apex Strategic Holdings remained a ghost.Just then, the door at the far end of the room opened.Conversations died mid-sentence. Everyone straightened in their seats.A man in a sharp navy suit stepped in first—sleek, professional, tablet in hand. He moved to the side of the room, positioning himself near the head of the table.And then he walked in.Tall. Commanding. The kind of presence that didn't ask for attention—it demanded it. His suit was i

Edward sat behind his office desk—mahogany, imported, the kind that cost more than most people's cars—reviewing quarterly performance reports with the mechanical precision of someone who'd done this a thousand times. His phone buzzed.He ignored it at first. Probably another memo from Corporate Communications about "synergy" or some other buzzword designed to make people feel productive without actually doing anything.But it buzzed again. Insistent.With an irritated sigh, Edward swiped up the notification.Subject: URGENT – Internal Announcement – Regal EnterprisesHis thumb hovered over the screen. Something in his gut twisted—an instinct telling him this wasn't routine.He opened it.The words hit him like a punch to the sternum."Effective immediately, Regal Enterprises has been acquired by Apex Strategic Holdings. Ownership has been transferred. Press release pending. All personnel are to remain at their current positions until further notice."Edward's breath caught.He read

The interview had been grueling.Sophia sat across from three stern-faced executives at Rue & Co., answering question after question about marketing strategies, brand positioning, campaign analytics. She'd stumbled once or twice, but recovered quickly, drawing on everything she'd learned, everything she'd prepared.By the time they thanked her and told her they'd be in touch, she felt like she'd run a marathon.Now, stepping out of the sleek glass building into the cool afternoon air, she exhaled a long, shaky breath.I did it.She didn't know if she'd gotten the job. But she'd done her best. And for the first time in months, that felt like enough.She pulled out her phone, ready to call a cab——and froze.Across the street, leaning casually against a modest silver sedan, was Liam.He had his hands in his pockets, his gray eyes scanning the building entrance. When he spotted her, his entire face changed—softened—and he straightened up, a small smile playing at his lips.Sophia's heart

Sophia stood in front of the bathroom mirror, her hands gripping the edge of the sink.Her reflection stared back at her—hazel eyes wide with nerves, hair pulled into a neat bun that she'd already redone three times. She wore a simple black blazer over a cream blouse, paired with tailored pants. Professional. Polished.But inside, she was a mess."You can do this," she whispered to herself. "It's just an interview."Except it wasn't just an interview. It was her chance to prove she wasn't useless. That she could stand on her own two feet. That all those rejections hadn't broken her.Her stomach twisted into knots.She exhaled slowly, trying to calm the storm raging in her chest. Then she turned and headed back to her room to grab her bag.When she stepped into the living room, Liam was already there.He stood near the kitchen counter, dressed casually in jeans and a gray henley that fit him just right, emphasizing his lean, athletic build. His dark hair was slightly tousled, like he'd
