I was in the reading a book when my phone screen illuminated with the name I’ve come to dread after all I’ve seen him be so capable of.

Alan.

I almost think to ignore his call but I don’t have that luxury after the amount of money he loaned me to recover Peter’s business decline and gambling addictions. I tried convincing Peter to give me some kind of compensation to pay him back but seeing as this was a Hail Mary with no payment obligation, he felt this wasn’t necessary - a cop out. A classic

  • My Millionaire Husband’s Secret   Chapter 255: Lincoln’s POV

    Much to my displeasure, I leave Jess to answer the door. Irritation rolls through me as I stride across the house, already dreading whoever decided to show up this late.I yank the door open, making it abundantly clear that I’m in no mood for visitors, but my annoyance quickly fades into surprise when I find Officer Miller standing there with a small cardboard box balanced in one hand.“Your delivery guy just left,” he says flatly.I step aside and pull the door wider so he can enter.Before shutting it, I glance cautiously down the hallway to make sure no one else is lingering nearby. Satisfied, I close and lock the door behind him.“Thank you,” I say as I take the box from his hand.I carry it toward the kitchen counter, placing it down carefully while forcing myself to appear casual.“Is there a congratulations in order?” Miller asks, his tone curious but restrained.“We’re not sure yet,” I answer as I turn back toward him, “but it seems that way.”A faint understanding crosses his

  • My Millionaire Husband’s Secret   Chapter 254: Lincoln’s POV

    I say nothing as we drive back home. There’s nothing I can say until I know exactly what’s going on.A heavy silence fills the car, but it isn’t uncomfortable—it’s thoughtful, tense, full of questions neither of us is ready to ask out loud.I glance over at Jessie a few times, watching her quietly. Her arms are folded protectively over her lap, close to her stomach, and I can’t help the overwhelming sense of pride that rises in my chest.She’s mine.No matter what hardships wait for us ahead, no matter what storms are coming, she’s mine—and if there’s even the slightest chance that she’s carrying our child, that feeling will only grows stronger.I pull into the garage and park quietly before turning to face her. The dim lighting softens her features, but I can still see the exhaustion written all over her face.“It looks like we made it home before him,” I say softly, reaching over to brush a loose strand of hair from her face. “How about a shower?”“Okay,” she replies quietly.I step

  • My Millionaire Husband’s Secret   Chapter 253: Jessie’s POV

    After being awarded my divorce, I remain seated in the now-empty courtroom, my hands resting limply in my lap as I try to steady my breathing.Moments ago, this room was suffocating—filled with voices, tension, judgment. Now it’s eerily quiet, the kind of silence that hums in your ears. The world that had been spinning relentlessly around me has finally begun to slow, and for the first time in what feels like years, I can breathe.Really breathe.Relief settles into my chest, heavy and unfamiliar. It isn’t joy—not quite—but it’s something close. Something fragile. Like if I move too quickly, it might shatter.“Are you ready?”Lincoln’s voice breaks through the stillness as he steps out of the judge’s chambers, gently closing the door behind him. The soft click echoes louder than it should. When I look up at him, I catch the small smile tugging at his lips—subtle, but laced with his own quiet relief.“I think so,” I answer, my voice barely above a whisper, as if speaking too loudly mig

  • My Millionaire Husband’s Secret   Chapter 252: Officer Miller’s POV

    I make my way down the narrow corridor toward the interrogation room where Mike left Blaire. The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting everything in a sterile, unforgiving glow. I stop just outside the door, waiting as the lock disengages with a heavy mechanical clank.The sound barely registers anymore. After all these years, it’s as familiar to me as my own heartbeat.The door swings open.I step inside.Blaire sits at the metal table, her posture collapsed in on itself. One hand rubs absently at the side of her neck, as if trying to soothe something deeper than muscle tension. Tears stream freely down her face, but there’s nothing soft about her expression—her eyes burn with something volatile, something close to rage.Good. She should be angry.“You got what you wanted,” I say flatly, letting the door shut behind me with a hollow thud. “Now it’s my turn. I need a name.”Her head snaps up, eyes locking onto mine.“This isn’t what I wanted!” she shouts, her voice cracking under t

  • My Millionaire Husband’s Secret   Chapter 251: Sargent’s POV

    Time to stretch my legs—and see what my top detectives have managed to uncover.I push back from my desk, the legs of my chair scraping softly against the floor, and step out of my office into the precinct’s common area. The fluorescent lights have been dimmed for the night shift, casting long shadows across half-empty desks. Most of second shift has already cleared out, leaving behind only the low hum of machinery and the occasional rustle of paperwork.Miller and Pennet remain, as expected.And then there’s her.A young blonde woman sits stiffly near Miller’s desk, hands folded too tightly in her lap. She was identified earlier as Alan’s sister. Even from a distance, I can see the tension in her posture—the way her shoulders curl inward, as if trying to make herself smaller.I make my way over at an unhurried pace.“Good evening, ma’am,” I say, keeping my tone measured and professional. “I’m the sergeant of this precinct. I couldn’t help but notice you’ve been waiting here for quite

  • My Millionaire Husband’s Secret   Chapter 250: Blaire’s POV

    I lean down, just enough for my breath to ghost over his ear as I whisper. My fingertips brush the side of his neck, his skin burning hot beneath my touch.“No.”The word is immediate. Final.His chair screeches violently against the floor as it topples backward, the sharp crack echoing through the room. He’s on his feet in an instant, fingers clamping around my wrist with bruising force.“You ruined my life,” he snarls, his voice low and lethal. “I won’t fall for your shit.”The suddenness of it knocks the air from my lungs, but I don’t pull away. I stare up at him, searching his face—searching for anything.There’s nothing.No hesitation. No conflict.Only fury.“You’re not her,” he growls, jerking my wrist away before releasing me like I’ve burned him.The rejection slices deeper than I expect.“She doesn’t love you,” I spit, my voice trembling despite my effort to steady it. “She’s never coming back to you.”“And that still wouldn’t send me back to you,” he shoots back, a hollow,

  • My Millionaire Husband’s Secret   Chapter 125: Jessie’s POV

    “Jessie, are you ready?” I hear Lincoln ask from the other side of the bathroom door. His voice is steady, but I can hear the strain beneath it—the careful calm he always uses when he’s worried about me.We’d poured over the lists of resources the nurse had given me until the clock betrayed us and

    I had just finished fastening the last button of my shirt when a sharp knock sounded at the door. Annoyance flared instantly—raw and ready on my tongue. I stormed over, already mid-sentence as I swung it open forcefully.“Look, Blaire, I don’t have fu—”The words died abruptly in my throat.Rebecca

    The café comes into view at the end of the street, its windows shining against the bright gleaming sky. I pull into the lot and park a few spaces from the entrance, my hands still clenched around the steering wheel long after the engine goes silent. My chest rises and falls unevenly as I take a mom

    It had been a few days since I’d last seen or spoken to Blaire—and to my surprise, I was beginning to enjoy the silence. Her absence had become… refreshing. Quiet. Necessary. If I wanted Jessie to come home—really come home—I needed Blaire to become nothing more than a remnant of the past. A fading
