Allie Brooks knew Julian Ford could eat anything, but she never imagined he’d crave street food from the snack stalls in town.

Earlier that day, the entire film crew had shared simple boxed lunches, including the director. Yet, Julian Ford—being the pampered star he was—had his own gourmet meal delivered. No one dared call him out on it.

    "I took the necklace."The voice comes from the back of the room — unhurried, carrying without effort, landing in the exhibition hall with the specific weight of a voice that is used to being heard without raising itself.Two hundred people stop talking simultaneously.Then the crowd parts.Liam Hart walks through it.He walks the way he always walks — like the space is already arranged around him, like his arrival is simply the next logical sequence of events rather than anythi

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 223: I Won't Admit to Something I Didn't Do

    There is a specific kind of alone that has nothing to do with the number of people surrounding you.I am standing in the center of a room with two hundred people in it, and I have never been more alone in my life.The noise around me is enormous — voices layering on each other, the crackle of speculation and judgment and the specific gleeful energy of people watching someone they considered above them fall below — and underneath all of it runs the quieter, more devastating current: they've decided. Every person in this room made up their mind in the thirty seconds after the necklace emerged, and the trial happening right now is not one I was summoned to. It's one that already concluded before I said a word.

    The room doesn't process this quietly.It couldn't, not with these names, not with this crowd. Mia Stone is the most famous actress in the country. Allie Brooks is the woman who married Liam Hart at twenty and has been a source of industry fascination ever since. Two hundred people who read every industry publication, who know every rumor that has ever circulated about both of them, who have spent months speculating about the history between Mia and Liam — these two hundred people have just been told that the two women at the center of that story are the prime suspects in the theft of a fourteen-million-dollar gem.The math of gossip is immediate and brutal. The room doesn't need to deliberate. It simply begins.

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 221: The Exhibit Case Is Empty

    The room is completely different with two hundred people in it.The same walls, the same angled ceiling fixtures, the same crystal elements built into the corners — but what felt strange and slightly off when I was alone becomes theatrical with an audience. The light plays differently against so many bodies, catching fabric and jewelry and the whites of expectant eyes. The space smells like perfume and champagne and the specific, charged energy of people who have been promised something extraordinary and are positioned to receive it.The guide stands at the front, remote in hand, looking exactly like a man about to deliver the final act of a very expensive evening.

    I planned to avoid her.The plan lasted approximately forty-five seconds after I reached the second floor.I hear the click of heels before I see her, and by the time Mia Stone appears in the corridor I've already turned toward the door of the empty room I accidentally wandered into. I'm moving. I'm leaving. I have every intention of making this easy for both of us."Stop."The word lands with enough authority that my feet actually obey it before my brain weighs in. I stop. I turn. I look at her and she looks at me and the hallway between us is small and the November cold f

    George catches Mia's wrist.Not roughly. Not dramatically. The clean, certain grip of someone who has been doing this for years and is done watching it go too far."Mia." His voice is different from anything I've heard from him before. The composure is still there, but beneath it something has shifted — something that is not professional, is not gentle, is a person reaching the exact bottom of what he's willing to overlook for the sake of someone he loves. "If this continues, go back to LA."He releases her arm.Mia Stone stares at him.
