Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 190: I'm Not As Despicable As You Think
She storms back into the house.Liam is right behind her.They make it to the hallway outside the bedroom before the argument finds its voice — not loud, not theatrical, but worse: the low, compressed fury of two people who have been holding this particular grenade for two weeks and have finally run out of hands to hold it with."You had no right—""I had every right—""He's been through enough—""You don't get to tell me what my nephew has been through—"The hallway light catches the edge of Liam's jaw, the set of it, the absolute unyielding certainty of a man who has decided he's right and has built a wall around it.It makes her want to put her fist through that wall.Then footsteps.Elizabeth appears at the end of the corridor, reading the situation in half a second with those sharp, perceptive eyes of hers. She looks between them — Allie rigid with fury, Liam sealed shut &m
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 189: Hey, Classmate — That Was the Moment
Adam remembers the exact moment.Not vaguely, not in the blurred way memories tend to blur at the edges when they've been sitting too long. Perfectly. In the way certain things get burned in rather than recorded — like the image was seared directly into the part of him that doesn't forget, that doesn't soften, that holds everything it finds important with both hands until they go numb.It was the third day of freshman orientation training at Ashford.He'd only been back in the country for a week. Four years abroad — London, then Singapore, then two years back in London — had done something to his internal clock that no amount of willpower could override. He was sleeping at four in the morning and awake at noon, running on two hours and something that tasted like exhaustion but hit harder.And then the August heat.Chicago in August is not interested in your problems. The training field radiated it upward from the concrete, pressin
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 188: You've Gone Too Far
The garden goes completely silent.Allie stares at Liam.He just told Adam that the car was her idea — which is true, technically, she did mention it — but the way he said it, the specific weight he placed behind go thank your aunt, was not about gratitude. It was a message with teeth in it, aimed at Adam, wrapped in a sentence about a car.Adam says thank you in a voice that gives nothing away.And Liam looks at him with that composed, unhurried authority and says: "I don't think I've ever heard you call her aunt. Not once. Does Allie not count as family to you, Xiao Han?"Allie's jaw tightens.She understands now — completely, crystallinely — what Liam is doing.He's using her.He's using her to draw a line around Adam. To remind him of distance, hierarchy, boundary. And the worst part — the part that makes the anger surge up from somewhere below her sternum &m
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 187: Your Auntie Chose It — Go Thank Her
She doesn't say a word through dinner.Not one word that matters. She eats and smiles and passes dishes and laughs at the right moments — a performance so clean she almost convinces herself. But underneath it, Liam's words in the car are doing what words do when they're sharp enough: repeating. On a loop. Remember who you are. Have some sense of being a wife.He thinks something happened between her and Adam.He thinks — after everything, after all of it — that she is that person.And the worst part is not the accusation. The worst part is that she can feel it working on her — the way guilt she doesn't deserve starts to feel like guilt she does, when the person doing the accusing is someone she trusts with her whole heart.Who she trusted with her whole heart.After dinner she goes outside.Not a decision. Just — her feet take her out the back door into the garden before
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 186: We're Moving Out Tonight
She leaves the lilies in the car.She doesn't decide to. She just — doesn't reach for them when she gets out. They stay on the passenger seat, paper-wrapped, white, completely innocent of everything that happened in the twelve inches of air between her and Liam on the drive home.She carries the cake.Hart Manor in the evening is the warmest version of itself — every room lit, the smell of Elizabeth's cooking all the way from the foyer, the particular alive quality the house gets when the whole family is under one roof.The butler takes Liam's coat. Reports that Robert, Elizabeth, and Adam are in the dining room. Liam nods and moves toward the stairs without looking back.Allie follows.She is very good at keeping her face neutral. She has been doing it her whole life — in boardrooms, on film sets, in the Ashford cafeteria when the whole campus was talking about her. She knows how to walk into a room and be present w
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 185: Remember Who You Are — She's His Wife, Not Juliet
In the car, she watches him.She tries to be subtle about it — peripheral vision, quick sidelong glances — but she's watching. Cataloguing. The set of his jaw, the line of his shoulders, the particular quality of silence he's wrapped himself in since the arrivals gate. He's tired, she tells herself. Tokyo is a fourteen-hour round trip. He's been in meetings for a week. Any person would be exhausted.She reaches for something light. Something that won't land wrong."Adam was discharged today," she says. "Elizabeth cooked — actually cooked, not catered. She made lamb and pasta and this incredible—""I know." Flat. Eyes forward. Fingers loose on the wheel.She swallows. "I ordered a cake for him. One of those vanilla chiffon ones from the French place on Meridian — he mentioned once that he doesn't like chocolate, so—""Allie."Something in his voice makes her stop talking."We should pick it up

George’s expression softened into a faint smile. “Fine? You were a second away from being hit. If I hadn’t seen you looking so distracted, who knows what might have happened?”Allison "Allie" Brooks hesitated, her fingers fidgeting with the strap of her bag. “It’s just… there are things I can’t qui

George Smith considered for a moment before slipping the contract into his briefcase. “Fine, I’ll agree. But understand, this arrangement means I can’t assign you a full-time agent. For now, I’ll act as your temporary agent. The shooting period is three months, and I’ll personally manage your work

Allison Brooks stared at Liam Hart, her emotions a tangled mess of anger, confusion, and something else she didn’t dare name. Liam's face was calm, but his voice carried the weight of steel.“Allison, if your reckless behavior today was because you were jealous, then let me tell you—I’m flattered,”
