"I want this job," Rivera reminded herself. This would give her a paycheck that didn't come with a side of emotional blackmail.

Reagan was furious, and he had the tendency to act recklessly when she enraged him, even in the presence of people. Rivera knew this much.

She felt the heat of his anger before he even raised his voice. She knew that look. She’d seen it too many times in private. Here, in front of strangers, it was dangerous.

If she failed to control this situation right now, it'd blow

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 50: DINNER UNDER QUIET LIGHTS

    Reagan did not say anything immediately after stepping out of the car.The evening air carried the faint smell of rain even though the sky remained clear. The headlights cut across the driveway before fading as the engine died.Rivera stood near Luke, one hand loosely around the strap of her bag, her attention fixed on Reagan even though she tried not to make it obvious.He looked tired. Not weak though. Reagan Royce would probably collapse before he ever allowed himself to appear weak.His gaze moved briefly to Luke before returning to Rivera. “I need to speak with my wife.”Luke’s expression shifted. It was small enough that most people would have missed it, but Rivera noticed. His jaw tightened slightly before he relaxed again.“Sure,” Luke said after a second. “I’ll finish unpacking.”Rivera hesitated. She did not know why she hesitated exactly. Maybe because things between her and Reagan had felt unstable for days now. Maybe because she still did not fully know what was happening

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 49: ROBERT BANKS

    The room was deliberately plain. A single table stood at the center, its surface clean and unmarked. Two chairs faced each other across it. The overhead light was not harsh, but it was focused enough to leave the corners of the room in a quiet, watchful dimness.Reagan preferred it that way. No noise, no clutter, and definitely no unnecessary details. Just truth or whatever version of it a man could be pressed into giving.He stood near the far wall, his hands resting loosely in his pockets, his gaze settled on the man seated across the table.Robert Banks did not look like a man who had just been chased and captured. There was no visible panic in him, no restless shifting, no immediate attempt to speak his way out of the situation. He sat with a kind of worn stillness, his shoulders slightly hunched, his hands resting against his knees.Age had touched him, but not gently. There were lines carved into his face that spoke less of time and more of consequence. His hair had thinned and

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 48: WHEN ABSENCE SPEAKS

    The next workday carried on without him. It was a strange thing how quickly his absence changed everything. It made the atmosphere feel so off.When she came in, she paused briefly by her desk as her eyes drifted toward his office. The glass doors were closed, and the lights inside were off. He was not there.Rivera swallowed faintly and forced herself to sit. It shouldn’t have mattered. He had missed an office day on her first day here and she had been relieved by his absence. Besides, he was not the kind of man who needed to explain his movements to anyone, and certainly not to her.Still, there was something about the timing that made it feel different.She tried to focus on her work, but her attention drifted more often than she would have liked. What could he still be doing with her father until now, to the extent of missing work? The thought simply won't leave her mind.“Okay, this is weird.”Rivera looked up at the sound of Chloe’s voice. Chloe stood near her desk, a cup of cof

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 47: WHERE HE WENT

    “Or are you looking for an excuse to go back to him?”Rivera did not answer immediately. She simply looked at him. Her gaze held his as though she was trying to understand not just the question, but the intention behind it.There was something in his expression she had seen before, but never like this, and not this direct or intense.This was his possessive side, and she knew that for men like Reagan, owning someone completely and not having to share them with anyone else mattered a lot for their ego.For a moment, it almost felt like she had misheard him, not because the words were unclear, but because of how naturally they had come from him, as though he had every right to ask such a question.“What does that mean?” she asked finally.“It means exactly what it sounds like,” he replied after a moment.Rivera let out a small laugh, but there was no amusement in it. “No,” she said, shaking her head faintly. “It doesn’t. Because you’re implying something, and I’d rather you say it clear

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 46: HIS TO COMMAND

    Rivera came back to herself in fragments. Sound returned first, the low hum of voices around her, the distant clatter of glasses, the faint rhythm of music that no longer felt light or inviting but intrusive, almost mocking.Then came the awareness of her own body, heavy and unsteady, her fingers trembling faintly where they rested against the edge of something solid.And then, him. Reagan stood directly in front of her. He was not touching her or speaking to her, he was just watching her, as though nothing had happened.Rivera gasped again as everything rushed back at once. Her father.They’ve got him, she realized. She pushed herself upright and immediately demanded.“Why are you here?” Her voice was strained with something deeper than confusion.Reagan did not answer. His face looked completely guilty. She took a step closer and looked him in the eyes in a confrontational manner.“And who did they get?” she pressed. “Who were you talking about?”Still nothing.“Reagan, I’m talking

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 45: THE MOMENT BEFORE EVERYTHING BREAKS

    Rivera had not realized how much she needed something light until she stepped into the evening air and felt the weight of the day loosen just slightly from her shoulders.It wasn’t gone. His silence lingered, stubborn and quiet, but it wasn’t suffocating anymore. Not with the restless anticipation building inside her.She adjusted her grip on her bag as she stepped out of the car, her gaze lifting toward the glowing entrance of the High Street VIP Bar. The building stood polished, its glass exterior reflecting the last stretch of daylight while warm lights flickered to life inside.For a brief second, she hesitated. Not because she didn’t want to go in, but because of everything waiting on the other side: Luke, her father, the truth.The inside was alive. Low music hummed beneath the sound of laughter and conversation. The space was designed to impress. It had sleek finishes, warm lighting, and an effortless kind of luxury that didn’t need to announce itself loudly to be noticed.Rive

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 12: THE BIG REVEAL

    The café was tucked between a bookstore and a florist, quiet enough to feel like a secret.The bell above the door chimed softly when Rivera stepped inside, and the smell of coffee wrapped around her like something familiar and almost comforting.They had met in cafés like this too in Italy during

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 11: THE GIRL WITH TOO MANY SECRETS

    Rivera sat quietly in the passenger seat as Isabel drove them into the city. The hum of traffic filled the silence, broken only by the soft music playing from the speakers.It was the first time Rivera had been out since arriving at the Royce estate, and she hadn’t realized how suffocating the mans

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 10: TO BE USED, NOT TO BE LOVED

    “That was your plan not mine," Reagan said slowly, deliberately.Stanton shook his head. “Clara called. She said you threw her out of your house after everything she waited through,” he said, his tone almost amused.“I didn’t ask her to wait,” Reagan replied.Stanton scoffed. “Of course you didn’t.

  • SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND   CHAPTER 9: FAMILY SECRETS

    Reagan sat rigidly in the spacious living room of the Royce estate. Across from him, Stanton Royce’s presence dominated the room even before he spoke.The man had a way of filling a space without moving an inch, a king among billionaires; calm, dangerous, and always calculating.Neither of them exc
