Bella's POV

“I knew something was up the minute I heard you,” she said, her voice laced with suspicion. “You sounded like someone who’s hiding something. And your mood... it shifted so fast. I knew you were up to no good.”

I shifted uncomfortably, rubbing the back of my neck. “Don’t be so dramatic, Jane. It was just lunch! Nothing more. So, get all those silly ideas out of your head.”

She wasn’t buying it. Her eyes narrowed as she fixed her gaze on me, her piercing stare practically forcing the words from my mouth. She wasn’t going to let this go.

“You better tell me everything,” she demanded. “Do not miss out on a single detail!”

There was no getting away from this. At that moment, I almost wished she hadn’t caught me with Fernando. A small sigh escaped my lips as I sat down, trying to act casual, but Jane wasn’t letting up. She kept staring at me as if she were waiting for me to spill the whole truth right there and then.

“There’s nothing going on between us,” I defended myself, try

  • Silent Secrets Burning Love   CHAPTER 78

    Bella’s POVIf there’s one thing I knew about Lucas, it was that he loved to make an entrance. He thrived on the extravagant, the dramatic. And as I watched him interacting with our son Henry, it seemed that Henry was beginning to follow in his father’s footsteps. I couldn’t help but smile when I thought about it. When Henry was younger, I was the only parent who attended all of his school events. But today, with Lucas in town, things were different. I had been living a relatively low-key life since moving to Chicago. My son’s school had always viewed us as just another average family. No one really knew the truth about us, not even his teachers. Except for Jane, no one knew that I was a billionaire. I had always worked hard to keep a low profile, wanting to shield my family from the constant attention that would come with the truth.But now, with Lucas following Henry to school, my cover was about to be blown wide open. In all honesty, I wasn’t sure if I was ready for it. Yet, there

  • Silent Secrets Burning Love   CHAPTER 77

    Bella’s POVHenry had been talking non-stop about ‘Bring Your Father to School Day,’ and now that Lucas had resurfaced, it was like the perfect timing. I knew Henry had been a little down about it, not wanting to show it too much, but now that Lucas was back in the picture, he couldn’t stop gushing. Henry had become somewhat of a mini version of Lucas, always on the phone with him, discussing everything from his homework to his favorite video games. It was almost surreal to watch, and I couldn’t help but admire the connection they had. Lucas would be on video calls with Henry, helping him with his assignments while Jason hovered around, getting in on the action too.“Henry doesn’t even have time for me anymore,” Jane said with a sigh as she laid down the last dish in the kitchen. I was right beside her, but as usual, she wouldn’t let me do anything. She always insisted on taking care of everything herself.“I know, right?” I said with a soft chuckle, watching Jane put away the last of

    Bella’s POV“Don’t give me that look,” Jane snapped, her eyes narrowing with amusement. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. You know you still love this guy, so tell me, what are you going to do about Fernando?”I blinked, taken aback by her directness. “Given me a break, Jane!” I muttered, rubbing my forehead. “Can you let me think in peace for a second?”“No, baby girl, I am not going to do that,” Jane countered, her voice full of determination. “I’m your best friend, and I’m here to make sure you make the right choice. You need to think about this carefully, okay? You’ve shut yourself off from men for a long time, and now Lucas is coming into your life, and that’s a lot. Especially with Fernando in the picture. You have to think fast and act smart.”I sighed deeply, trying to suppress the swirl of emotions in my chest. Jane always had a way of pushing me to confront the things I was avoiding. She was right, of course. I had spent so long guarding my heart, keeping it closed o

  • Silent Secrets Burning Love   CHAPTER 75

    Bella's POV"This is difficult for me, Jane," I said as I wrapped my fingers around the warm mug of ginger drink Jane had handed me. The heat of the liquid didn’t seem to penetrate the cold, overwhelming wave of emotions swirling inside me. "I mean, I just found out that the reason my wedding was canceled and I lost my baby was because of a lie—a lie a woman told. I don't even know how to feel about that. Do you know the embarrassment she caused me? I even lost my unborn baby because of the shock."I let out a shaky breath, trying to calm the storm brewing in my chest. Jane, ever the supportive friend, was sitting by my side, her attention entirely on me as she waited for me to continue. I knew I was sharing something raw, something deep, but right now, I just needed to get it off my chest.Jane was quick to respond, but her voice had an entirely different tone, one that seemed to flirt with a lighter subject."But damn! That’s one fine young man you have there! He’s so cute! I couldn

  • Silent Secrets Burning Love   CHAPTER 74

    Bella’s POVIt was supposed to be a calm evening, a simple date with Fernando followed by some time spent with Jane and Henry. A quiet evening to just relax and enjoy, but of course, nothing ever quite goes according to plan. This was my official first date with Fernando, and I was surprisingly excited. He was the kind of guy who made a conversation feel effortless, someone you could talk to for hours and never feel bored. He had a way of making everything around him feel lighter, more fun.We met at a cozy little restaurant in the city center. Fernando was determined to make the evening special. Not only did he ensure I tried every single one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, but he also had a knack for making me laugh—really laugh, deep belly laughs I hadn’t experienced in a long time. I couldn’t remember the last time I felt so comfortable and carefree around someone.It was rare for me to let my guard down, especially when it came to men. But Fernando was different. He didn’t

  • Silent Secrets Burning Love   CHAPTER 73

    Lucas’s POVI couldn’t explain the storm of emotions that had taken over me as I stood there, staring at Bella. The moment felt surreal, like time had both sped up and slowed down in the same breath. She stood still, unmoving, as if she didn’t know what to do with herself. Her face was pale, and I couldn’t read her expression. She didn’t look angry, or sad, or even happy—just distant. Her gaze was fixed on me, but there was something else in her eyes, something that made my heart ache with regret and longing.The woman seated next to her was the same one from the photo I’d seen in my search for Bella, but in person, she was even more beautiful. There was a vibrancy to her that Bella no longer carried. Still, I couldn’t take my eyes off Bella. She was the one who held my heart, even after everything that had happened.Henry and Jason were still wrapped in each other's arms, clinging to each other as if they had been separated for years, not just moments. I didn’t even realize Henry had
