Allie’s heart pounded in her chest, the sound echoing in her ears like a war drum. But she didn’t stop. If anything, she moved faster, dragging Julian Ford along with her.

Behind them, Liam Hart’s voice cut through the air like a blade.

“Allie?”

She didn’t turn around. She couldn’t.

Julian shot her a worried glance. "Allie, are you okay?"

She forced a tight-lipped smile. "I just... I need some air."

The rooftop was quiet, a stark contrast to the chaos inside. The city stretched out before them, glittering under the night sky, but Allie felt suffocated. She sank onto a swing chair, gripping the edges as if it could keep her from falling apart.

Julian hesitated before sitting beside her. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Allie swallowed hard. "No. Not right now."

But the storm inside her wouldn’t settle. Seeing Liam here, with Mia Stone of all people, was like a punch to the gut. A confirmation of her worst fears.

Julian sighed. "I won’t push you, but you shouldn’t be alone right now. I’l

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 100: The Queen’s Entrance

    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 of habit, something Liam believed was expected of him.At the time, a Hollywood director had extended an invitation to Mia Stone, and she had used it as an escape, rejecting Liam’s proposal in the process.She had wanted to talk to him, to truly understand where they stood. After all, a marriage proposal was no small matter.But before she could even return home, she had learned the shocking truth—Liam Hart was already married.She had refused to believe it. A man as meticulous as Liam, with his obsession for order, his calculated detachment—how could he possibly have let another woman into his life so suddenly?Even if the marriage was real, surely it was nothing more than a formality.And

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 99 - A Game of Illusions

    Liam Hart’s mind drifted back to that moment—the proposal, the flashing cameras, the deafening applause.When Mia Stone had kissed him, he had frozen for a second before firmly pushing her away. His voice had been steady but drowned in the roaring crowd.“Sorry, Mia. I’m already married.”The setting had been extravagant—bright chandeliers, an orchestra swelling with a wedding march, and a sea of admirers celebrating what they believed was a fairytale moment. But Liam had never been part of the illusion.The media, of course, twisted the scene. A few well-framed shots, a conveniently omitted rejection, and suddenly, Liam Hart was the man who had proposed to Mia Stone. He never bothered to clarify—he never did with scandals. And besides, George Smith had suppressed most of the news.But Mia…Mia had remained silent. She was a queen in the entertainment world, and a scandal like this was dangerous, but she played along.Liam exhaled sharply, his expression darkening. He turned to George

    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 Whitmore yawned, stretching his arms lazily. "Alright, someone explain what the hell is going on. You drag us out here at this ungodly hour, and now you’re just sitting there, brooding like a tragic hero. Are we supposed to drink, fight, or plan a heist? Give me something."Noah leaned back, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "He looks like a guy who just got dumped."Beckett Harrington, the youngest of the group, smacked Noah on the head. "Dumbass. You clearly don’t read the news. Mia Stone literally just proposed to him in front of the whole damn world. After years of chasing, she finally got her man. Shouldn’t he be throwing a party instead of hosting this pity fest?"Noah winced, rubbing the s

    "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 forgotten all about it.For a moment, she stood completely still, her mind blank.Then, with sudden determination, she lifted her chin and turned to Julian with a smile. "Julian, let’s take a trip. Let’s go abroad."______________________________________________________________________________________________The next ten days were a blur of cobblestone streets, candlelit cafes, and laughter under foreign skies. Allie lost herself in Europe, ignoring everything she had left behind. Her phone remained off.She knew Liam could find her if he wanted to. His influence reached farther than she cared to admit. But for ten days, she pretended none of it mattered.Then, on the flight home, as the pl

    Julian smirked. "So, you finally remember."But Allie still couldn’t believe it. "Wait… what? That can’t be right."The Julian she remembered wasn’t like this.Back at St. Mary’s Orphanage, the other kids always played together, but there was one boy who never joined in. He’d sit alone in the corner, staring out the window, lost in his own world.The other kids whispered that he was strange, maybe even a little broken.Back then, young Allie didn’t understand what that meant, so she decided she’d play with him instead.His hair was cut short and round, reminding her of a little chip, so she called him "Chip."Then, life got in the way. When her mom got sick, Allie stopped going to the orphanage. Over time, those memories faded, just like the friends she left behind.But she never forgot the quiet, pale boy who never spoke.And now, standing in front of her, Julian—loud, confident, and utterly dazzling—was claiming to be that same boy.It didn’t make sense.Julian chuckled, seeing the

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 95: A Promise from the Past

    Allie let Julian pull her away from the suffocating banquet hall, her body moving on instinct, her mind a swirling void. The moment she stepped outside, the cool night air hit her like a wave, yet it did nothing to quiet the storm inside her.She didn’t ask where they were going. She just followed, her heels clicking against the pavement, her breath uneven.Finally, Julian stopped.“If you need to cry, just do it,” he said softly.Allie blinked, her gaze finally registering their surroundings. He had brought her to a beach—the famous Glass Moonlight Beach along the Silver Bay shoreline. Under the moonlight, the sand shimmered with an eerie, lake-green glow, as if tiny fireflies were trapped beneath the grains. The waves crashed gently at her feet, the icy touch sending a jolt through her body, grounding her in reality.But the tears wouldn’t come.She had already cried too much. Or maybe… she was just too numb now.She turned away from the water and sat down on a large rock, staring
