Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 234: Crazy Fan
Every face in the room goes pale.A cluster of journalists grabs their cameras and runs. The host is already on her phone. The crew is scrambling, pulling up news feeds, trying to piece together what's happening from fragments and push notifications.Liam's expression hardens into something I haven't seen in weeks. Not anger. Something more focused. The face of a man who has identified a problem and is already moving toward it."I'm going up there," he says."I'm coming too."He doesn't argue. We leave Prism Tower and cross the four blocks to Meridian Tower in under three minutes. Liam drives. I sit beside him and watch his jaw work and say nothing because nothing I could say would change whatever is about to happen.---The rooftop of Meridian Tower is chaos.A crowd has formed along the edge, pressed together in a tight circle that tightens further every time someone new pushes through. Securit
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 233: Tyler Stone Jumps Off the Building
The host's words land in my chest.Others in the room probably heard a husband apologizing to his wife on camera. A sweet moment. Good television. The kind of clip that gets shared a hundred thousand times by morning.But I heard something underneath it.He was explaining the necklace. Without saying it directly, without naming Mia, without going into the surveillance footage or the garden conversation or any of the specifics, he told me why he did what he did. He spent $200 million and kept it secret because he wanted to carry the weight alone. The false accusations, the conspiracy, the damage control, all of it. He took it on himself and left me out of it, and he did it because he thought that was the kind thing to do.I hadn't considered that.For two weeks I'd been angry. For two weeks I'd been building a case against him in my head, collecting evidence of his distrust, cataloging every moment where he chose Mia's word over mine. And the whole time, the man I was accusing was sitt
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 232: After All, I Love You Very Much
The support staff waves us over. "Mr. Hart, Miss Brooks, shall we get started?" Liam and I walk to the set together. The interview space has been rearranged since this morning. The two formal chairs are gone, replaced by a sofa. A loveseat, basically, designed to look intimate. The host sits in a separate chair to the side, camera already rolling. This isn't a standard interview. It's the kind of segment where celebrities sit close together and answer questions about their personal lives while a camera crew captures every microexpression. The format is designed to look casual and natural, which means it's neither. The host leans forward with the bright, practiced energy of someone who's been waiting for this segment all day. "Good evening, everyone. We're thrilled to have two special guests tonight: Miss Allie Brooks and Mr. Liam Hart." She pauses for effect. "For those who don't know, Mr. Hart and Miss Brooks are one of the most talked-about couples in the industry right now.
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 231: Mrs. Hart, You Haven't Been Home in Half a Month
The word "jealous" echoes in my head for a long time after Chloe hangs up.I lie on the guest room bed and stare at the ceiling and turn it over. Jealous. That's what Chloe said. That's the word she chose, and the more I roll it around, the more I realize she picked the right one, even though I don't want her to be right.I had told myself this was about distrust. That Liam didn't believe me. That was the story I built, the one that made sense, the one that justified the coldness and the separate rooms and the silence.But that's not quite it, is it?Liam does trust me. He trusts me the way you trust someone you've assessed. He looked at the situation, evaluated my capabilities, weighed my character against the available evidence, and concluded that I wasn't the type. That's not the same as believing me. That's a risk calculation.When it comes to Mia, it's different.Liam's trust in Mia isn't something he arrived at through logic. It's something that's been there since childhood, bui
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 230: Thank You
I take the takeout box from George."Thank you, George."He finds a spot on the single-seater sofa nearby and sits down, easy, unhurried, the way he does everything. Like there's no rush. Like the world can wait."I don't know what happened between you and Liam," he says, "but I ran into his secretary today. Fang told me the entire company is a mess right now. Department heads are terrified to walk into meetings. Apparently Liam tears into anyone who gives him a reason, and half the time he doesn't even need one."Hearing Liam's name from George's mouth does something strange in my chest. A tightness I can't place. Not anger, exactly. Something adjacent to it.George sighs. "Liam has always been the type to hold everything inside. If he's acting like this at work, it means something at home is eating at him and he has nowhere to put it. What happened between you two?"The honest answer is: I don't know.These past few days I've been waiting. Liam said he'd investigate the necklace. He
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 229: Incompetent
Liam doesn't hesitate.Not even a full second. Not even the fraction of a pause that would tell me he considered it, weighed it, held my question up against his history with Mia and made a genuine choice. He just — answers. The way you answer something you've already decided before the question was asked."I know Mia's character," he says. His voice is steady. Certain. "She can be reckless. Impulsive. She says things she shouldn't and does things she regrets. But she would never do something this —" He stops. Searches for the word. "This calculated."I smile.It's not a happy smile. It's the kind that arrives when the thing you already knew is confirmed out loud, and the confirming feels worse than the knowing.He chose her.Without hesitation. Without doubt. Without even the courtesy of pretending to think about it.He believes I didn't steal the necklace — not because he trusts me, but because he decided I'm not capable of it. And he believes Mia didn't plant it — not because he has

Julian Ford sat across from Allie Brooks with a platter of grilled Argentine red shrimp, peeling one leisurely as he spoke."So, what’s your plan now?" Julian asked, his tone casual but laced with curiosity.Allie let out a slow breath. "I honestly don’t know."Liam Hart had torn up the divorce pap

When Liam Hart proposed to her, she had wrestled with a single question in her heart.A man so distant, so untouchable—could she ever truly reach him?Even then, she had suspected that Liam’s feelings weren’t as deep as they seemed. As Adam once warned her, perhaps the proposal was merely a matter

"Don’t go. Liam Hart left Oceanview Heights early this morning," Julian Ford said.Allie Brooks froze mid-step. "How do you know?""I went to return the dress last night. Mia Stone left too. She left with Liam."Allie’s breath caught. The little black dress—Julian had borrowed it from Mia. She had
