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
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 184: She Waited at the Airport — He Told Her to Be Proper
Liam doesn't go in.He stands in the doorway long enough to see everything — Allie leaning forward with the spoon, Adam's ears flushed, the ease between them that has grown in this hospital room over the past week like something no one planted but can't stop — and then he turns and walks back down the corridor.He doesn't make a sound.Allie goes straight from the hospital to campus.She's barely through the gate when she catches the current running through the student body — that particular electric murmur that means something has happened and word hasn't finished spreading yet.Two girls near the journalism building. She slows."—did you hear? Felicity Montgomery got expelled.""That can't be right. Her dad is basically city government. The principal has been protecting her for years.""I'm telling you it happened. She's gone. Whatever she did — whoever she crossed &m
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 183: Cuter Than Oscar — and He Blushed
"You people," Allie says, setting the thermal bag on the bedside table with slightly more force than strictly necessary, "have a serious problem appreciating when someone is being kind to you."She's thinking about Liam when she says it.She's looking at Adam, but she's thinking about the soup on the desk that was still there this morning, stone cold, untouched, exactly where she'd placed it last night. About I want to be alone delivered with that particular flat finality that cut more than any sharp word would have.Adam watches her unpack the containers with the quiet attention of someone who notices things but has learned not to comment on most of them."Did you and my uncle fight?" he asks.She keeps her hands busy. "No.""You seem upset.""I'm fine.""You set the spoon down like it owed you money."She stops. Looks at him. He is absolutely, infuriat
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 182: Don't Bring Me Soup. I Want to Be Alone.
The coconut chicken broth is perfect.She knows it is. She's made it three times now — adjusting the ratio of coconut water to stock, tweaking the timing on the herbs, getting the chicken to the exact texture that means it'll melt into porridge without going chalky. The house chef confirmed it this evening with a raised eyebrow and a nod that meant more coming from him than a full sentence would from anyone else.It's the best thing she's learned to make in twenty years of not knowing how to cook.She fills a bowl and puts it in the insulated carrier and walks down the hall toward the light under Liam's study door — the same light that's been on every night this week, burning past midnight, burning until she finally falls asleep and it doesn't matter anymore.She knocks.A pause. Then: "Come in."She pushes the door open.He's not at his desk.He's on the narrow balcony off the study — standing with his back t
Secrets of a Hidden Marriage Chapter 109: Public Humiliation
Liam Hart had just finished changing clothes when the whispers around the set grew louder.“What’s going on between Allie and Mr. Hart?” someone murmured.“Isn’t Liam supposed to marry Mia Stone? Why would he take the initiative to shoot an intimate scene with Allie in front of Mia?”“I heard Allie

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

2:00 AM.The exclusive VIP lounge of "Nocturne," the most sought-after bar in town.Three men lounged around a glass table, their eyes fixed on Liam Hart, who sat in a single-seater sofa, silent and brooding. The dim, golden glow of the room barely softened the sharp tension in the air.Preston Whi
