Silent Secrets Burning Love CHAPTER 80
Lucas’s POV.I still can’t fully explain why Bella has such an effect on me. Every time I look at her, my heart skips a beat, and I feel like I’ve found the missing piece of me. She’s everything I’ve ever needed, everything I never knew I was looking for, and every time our eyes meet, it’s like I can see the future we could have together. But sadly, fate seems to have other plans. For the past three years, I’ve been living a life full of regrets, and I couldn’t move on from the thought of Bella. I’d stayed away from other women because I knew deep down that no one could compare to her. Her memory was enough to keep me in check, to keep me grounded. But today, here I am, standing in the same place with her at my son’s school.My mind kept spinning, torn between wanting to be with her and questioning if it was too soon to ask for more. Part of me wanted to ask her to move in with me, to finally close the distance between us. But I knew better. She wasn’t ready for that. She wouldn’t say
Silent Secrets Burning Love CHAPTER 79
Bella’s POV.The air was filled with excitement, and I couldn’t help but notice how some of the students and pupils had taken out their phones to record the event. It was hard not to feel the weight of their gazes as they filmed the lineup of cars. It seemed like everyone in the school had gathered to witness what was about to unfold.Lucas’s car was the first to arrive, and his escort stepped out, looking every bit as polished and composed as I expected. After a moment, they gave us the signal. It was our turn to step out. My heart raced as I looked at Henry, sitting beside me in the car. I could feel his nervous energy, his gaze fixed on the world outside the window.“Are you alright?” I asked softly, trying to calm his nerves. My voice was low and steady, but I could tell that Henry was still uneasy.“I’m alright, Mum,” he replied, but his voice trembled just slightly. “I’m just nervous. There are so many people outside!”“You don’t have to be nervous. You’ve got this,” I reassured
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
