Silent Secrets Burning Love CHAPTER 12
Lucas’s POV.I couldn’t believe it.After everything—after all I had done for her—this was how Joan decided to repay me? By lying. By cheating. By turning me into a fool who trusted too easily.This was the same woman who had rushed into my arms, who couldn’t wait to become my wife. I had given her everything. Freedom with her career. Space. Understanding. I hired a nanny so our son would never be a burden to her ambitions. I never questioned the late nights, the sudden trips, the endless excuses. Not once. Because I trusted her. Because I loved her.I had told myself it was work. That she was tired. That she was doing her best. I had ignored the warnings staring me in the face. I should have known better.A woman who could look me in the eye and lie so effortlessly… what else had she lied about? What else had I overlooked because I wanted to believe in her?My phone buzzed again.The unknown number.The same one from before.I opened it without hesitation.~For now, deal with this
Silent Secrets Burning Love CHAPTER 11
Joan’s POV.I can't believe this man. After I had given him clear-cut instructions earlier not to disturb me on my trip, he still had the guts to put someone to spy on me.I fumed as I ended the call, my fingers gripping the edge of the table. Mark, sitting across from me with his usual smug grin, raised an eyebrow. He leaned back in his chair, sipping his drink as though nothing in the world could bother him."Who was that?" he asked casually, his eyes narrowing slightly.I let out an exasperated sigh. "Lucas."Mark chuckled, a low, almost mocking sound. “You're still playing the devoted wife, aren't you?"I shot him a glare. "You think this is a joke? He put someone on me, Mark! He showed me pictures of us together."Mark shrugged, entirely unbothered. "So what? Let him find out. It’s not like he can do anything about it."I shook my head, lowering my voice. "It’s not time yet. I need him to trust me long enough to make my move."Mark leaned forward, his smirk fading. "How long is t
Silent Secrets Burning Love CHAPTER 10
Lucas’s POV.As I stepped out of the building, the afternoon sunlight hitting my face, but I barely noticed it. My mind was still on Bella—the way she had looked at me, calm, unyielding, impossible to read. Business partners. Nothing more than that. The words replayed over and over, a mantra and a challenge all at once.A strange lightness filled me, too, a quiet relief. After all these years, after everything I put her through, I had talked to her again. A real Conversation and it didn’t ended in chaos. I could breathe again. For a moment, I felt… free. Free of the constant tension, free of Zuta, free of the things that had haunted me for far too long.But the weight of what we had lost and what we might still lose was still there, lingering in the quiet spaces between my thoughts.I pulled my phone from my pocket, half expecting a message from her, half hoping there wouldn’t be one. My thumb hovered over the screen, and then it buzzed. One message. Then another. Unknown sender.Whe
Silent Secrets Burning Love CHAPTER 9
Bella’s POV.The sting of my hand against his cheek still burned as I walked away from the office. Smack.That sound wasn’t just a slap; it was a needed warning. Lucas Fernandez could be reckless, arrogant, persistent—but he would not cross me. Not today, not ever again.My phone buzzed, and I resisted the urge to check it. One vibration, two, three. I finally picked it up, and the name flashing on the screen made my stomach tighten.Hi, Bella, it’s Lucas.Can we talk please….He must have gotten my business card that has my phone number on it from my P.A.My chest tightened, a mixture of irritation and something else I wasn’t ready to name.I wanted to ignore it, to pretend it didn’t exist, but the third vibration pulled me in despite myself. Hesitantly, I glanced at the screen. Another message from him. He was apologizing, admitting he had been out of line when he hugged me in the office. He said he shouldn’t have touched me, shouldn’t have crossed that line, shouldn’t have… done
Silent Secrets Burning Love CHAPTER 8
Lucas’s POVI arrived earlier than I needed to.My secretary had said 10:00 a.m., but by 9:15 am I was already standing in the quiet hallway outside the conference suite, adjusting my cufflinks and rehearsing my presentation in my head. The numbers were solid. The proposal was airtight. Still, my chest felt tight, like I was walking into something far more dangerous than a business meeting.Bella’s face from yesterday refused to leave my mind.By 10:00 a.m. exactly, a woman stepped out of one of the offices. Neatly dressed, professionally.“Mr. Fernandez,” she said. “Ms.Davis will see you now.”I nodded and followed her inside.The moment I crossed the threshold, my steps faltered.Bella was seated behind the desk.Not beside it but Behind it—calm, composed, entirely in control. She looked up from a file and met my gaze with a cool professionalism that sent a jolt through me.“Good morning, Mr. Fernandez,” she said evenly. “Have a seat.”I obeyed, running a hand through my hair as I s
Silent Secrets Burning Love CHAPTER 7
Lucas’s POVThe house felt wrong the moment I stepped inside.Too quiet.Not the peaceful kind. This silence pressed against my skull, heavy and suffocating, as if it knew the truth I had just learned.I shut the door behind me and loosened my tie, my fingers trembling. The words from Dr. Ramores echoed in my mind.0% match.I walked further in, shoes clicking against the marble floor, until the faint sound of a cartoon caught my attention.Pedro.I stopped.For years, that sound had meant routine, normalcy, family. Now, it made my stomach twist.He was exactly where he always was—curled up on the couch, legs tucked under him, eyes glued to his iPad. He didn’t notice me at first. I studied him—the same face I had convinced myself was mine, the same expressions I had defended, the same boy I had signed school forms for, paid hospital bills for, held when he had nightmares.A lie.My chest tightened.He laughed at something on the screen, carefree, innocent. I waited for some spark of a
