After leaving the hospital, Allie couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret for agreeing so quickly.

There were so many factors she hadn’t considered—especially with Julian Ford being such a high-profile figure. The paparazzi were always lurking, waiting to snap something that would feed into the whirlwind of rumors. With their names already tangled in tabloid stories, this would only pour gasoline on the fire.

But it was too late to backtrack now.

Allie needed to grab her ID from the drawer in her dorm room. Most of her belongings were still there, but she'd been staying elsewhere lately. The filming at the Hart Estate had taken over her time and space, and she'd barely had a moment to breathe.

She figured Liam wouldn't be home yet—his schedule was relentless. So, when she unlocked the door and stepped into the house, she moved directly toward the bedroom.

The moment she pushed the door open, her breath hitched.

Liam was standing by the bed, meticulously packing a suitcase. His sharp

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 122 - That Guy is Not Good Enough for My Wife

    Adam Hart was the golden boy of A University’s medical department—brilliant, disciplined, emotionally unavailable. A genius in every sense of the word, and just as cold. People called him the “Ice Prince” for a reason. He wasn’t rude—just distant. Too distant to be touched. Too brilliant to be reached.And now… now he was about to meet me again. But this time, as family.As I followed Robert and Liam down the sweeping staircase of the Hart estate, the scent of fresh lilies and polished wood filled the air, but I barely noticed. My thoughts were knotted, tangled somewhere between dread and disbelief.Then I saw them—my father and Lisa Ruyan—waiting in the foyer.My heart thumped.“Mr. Hart,” my father said, offering his hand with his signature businesslike charm. “It’s an honor to be invited.”Robert returned the gesture with a practiced smile. “No need for such formality, Mr. Brooks. The children are already married. We’re family now.”Lisa stood at his side, graceful as always, thoug

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 121: The Ice Prince

    The Hart estate was a vision of luxury—vaulted ceilings, sweeping staircases, gilded mirrors catching sunlight in all the right angles. But I barely saw any of it. My heartbeat thundered in my chest, louder than the echo of my heels against the marble floors. Every step forward felt heavier, each breath tighter.We were headed for the study.Liam’s hand brushed against mine before slipping into a firm hold. “Breathe, Allie,” he murmured gently, his voice calm against the roaring storm inside me.We stopped before a set of grand double doors, dark wood polished to a perfect shine. Liam knocked once before pushing them open.“Come in,” came a deep voice from inside. Robert Hart.I stepped in behind Liam and instantly felt the weight of expectation. Two pairs of eyes met mine, sharp and unwavering.Robert Hart sat behind an enormous mahogany desk, every bit the patriarch he was rumored to be—stern, regal, and unreadable. His tailored suit was pristine, not a single thread out of place. S

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 120: Buried Truths

    The second my mother’s name came up, Vivian froze.The fire in her eyes flickered, dimmed, then vanished altogether—just for a second. But I caught it. She quickly masked it with that cold indifference she always wore like armor.I knew the story too well. Lisa Ruyan and my mother had once lit up Hollywood like twin stars. But my father—David Brooks—chose my mother. Or at least, it looked that way on the surface.Even after marrying her, he never truly let go of Lisa.Two years after I was born, Vivian entered the world. But Lisa wasn’t the type to accept defeat. She waited, silent and cunning, for ten long years. And when my mother died… she finally got what she always wanted—David.Vivian crossed her arms and tilted her chin defiantly. “But I’m not waiting ten years.”Lisa gave her a smile so sweet it made my skin crawl. “And you won’t have to. Trust me, dear. I won’t let you walk my path. In a year, Allie will be out of Liam’s life. And when that happens… the woman in his arms will

    Julian Ford leaned back in his chair, casual as ever, with a smirk dancing on his lips. “She met you first, so I guess I have to accept my fate. But Mr. Hart, if you don’t treat your wife well, I won’t hesitate to steal her away.”Liam, standing beside me, didn’t even flinch. His voice, as cool and smooth as ever, carried no hint of uncertainty. “You won’t get the chance,” he said calmly. “My wife and I are perfectly happy. And soon, we’ll be expecting a child.”My jaw nearly unhinged.What?My face went hot instantly, the heat crawling from my neck to the tips of my ears. I shot him a look, my mouth opening to protest—but before I could even get a word out, Liam slid an arm around my waist and pulled me into him like it was the most natural thing in the world.His grip was gentle but commanding. I felt the firmness of his chest against my back, and that familiar shiver of electricity raced down my spine.He glanced down at me, that smug, teasing smile tugging at his lips. “Right, da

    Scarlett Renwick stood off to the side, arms folded tightly beneath her chest, that signature smirk curling her lips like she was permanently entertained. “He’s in the lounge. Alone. And from what I heard,” she added, her voice dipped in amusement, “even his assistant barely made it out alive.”I didn’t hesitate. “I’ll go check on him.”As I walked away, the room didn’t even try to be subtle.“Of course Allie can just waltz in whenever she wants,” someone muttered, half under their breath.“She’s the favorite now,” another said. “The director, the producer—hell, even Julian Ford bends over backward for her.”A bitter scoff followed. “Julian? Please. The real untouchable star is Liam Hart. And she’s got him wrapped around her finger.”Their voices buzzed like mosquitoes around my head, but I didn’t let them stick. I had a thicker skin now. I needed it.Inside the lounge, the temperature dropped. Julian Ford sat slumped in one of the velvet armchairs like a storm cloud with legs. His ja

    “Oh? An actor confessed to you, and you turned him down?”“I don’t like him.”Allie could barely breathe. Liam’s gaze burned through her, dark and unreadable.He tilted his head slightly, studying her. “You’re sure?”Her heart pounded. “Yes.”Liam leaned in, his voice a whisper against her lips. “Good. Keep it that way.”His breath was warm, intoxicating. Allie felt the world spin as his fingers brushed her cheek, his presence overwhelming her senses. Her mind screamed at her to move, to push him away—but she was frozen, caught in the pull of something dangerous.Before she could react, his lips brushed against hers in a fleeting, possessive kiss. Just enough to leave her breathless. Just enough to make her question everything.Liam pulled back, his smirk laced with satisfaction. “We’re having dinner at my family’s house tonight.”Allie snapped out of her daze. “Wait—what?”“You heard me,” he said, his tone casual, but his eyes watching her every reaction. “We’ve made things public.
