Daniel's POV

The weight of the secret pressed heavily on my chest as I sat alone in my apartment, staring at the blinking cursor on my phone screen. I had just left Victor’s office an hour ago, and my mind was racing in every direction. The truth was out now, more than just a whisper or a guarded secret. Victor had everything: Edwin’s full sex-work history, every detail, every client, every transaction. And he had used it to manipulate, to threaten, to control.

But what haunted me most wasn’t

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN SIN    Chapter 80

    Edwin's POV The tension in the room was so thick I could barely breathe. Every second stretched into something unbearable, and I stood frozen, the chaos of it all swirling around me like a storm I couldn't outrun. Voices rose, sharp and heated, bouncing off the sterile walls, but the words kept blurring in my mind. My heart was pounding so hard it hurt, each beat a reminder of how close to the edge everything had come.It had started with something small. It always did.Victor's voice cut through the noise first, venomous and terrifyingly steady. "You're just playing me. You think I don't know what you're hiding?"I clenched my fists at my sides, my knuckles going white. I had told myself I was prepared for this. I had rehearsed it in my head a hundred times, what I would say, how I would hold myself together. But standing here now, with his eyes on me like that, none of my preparation meant anything."You don't know what you're talking about," I said. My voice came out smaller than

    Daniel's POV The weight of the secret pressed heavily on my chest as I sat alone in my apartment, staring at the blinking cursor on my phone screen. I had just left Victor’s office an hour ago, and my mind was racing in every direction. The truth was out now, more than just a whisper or a guarded secret. Victor had everything: Edwin’s full sex-work history, every detail, every client, every transaction. And he had used it to manipulate, to threaten, to control.But what haunted me most wasn’t just the fact that he knew. It was that I’d kept silent all this time. That I’d known from the very beginning, and I hadn’t told Edwin. I’d buried the knowledge deep, pretending it didn’t matter, convincing myself that it was better to keep the peace, to protect him from the fallout. But now, knowing what Victor could do, what he was capable of, I realized I’d been a coward.I stared at the screen, my fingers trembling as I debated whether I should call Edwin or go straight to him. Instead, I to

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN SIN    Chapter 78

    Victor's POV The dim glow of my office lamp cast long shadows across the room as I sat back in my chair, fingers steepled beneath my chin. The air was thick with anticipation, my favorite kind of game. I had been waiting for this moment, the perfect opportunity to leverage what I knew against Daniel. And now, it was finally here.The door creaked open quietly, and Daniel stepped inside. His face was tense, eyes flickering with suspicion and something else I couldn’t quite place, fear, maybe. He knew he was walking into the lion’s den, but that didn’t stop him from trying to appear composed.“Victor,” he greeted cautiously, closing the door behind him. “You wanted to see me?”I gestured toward the chair across from my desk. “Yes. Have a seat.”He hesitated for a moment, then obliged, settling into the chair with an air of guardedness. I watched him carefully, studying every line of his face, trying to gauge his state of mind, his weaknesses.“Daniel,” I began softly, a smile curling a

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN SIN    Chapter 77

    Edwin’s POVThe apartment smelled like burnt toast and the faint lavender ghost of Mom’s detergent that still clung to the curtains even after three weeks of trying to wash it out. I stood in the kitchen, staring at the toaster like it had personally betrayed me, the blackened bread sitting on the plate like a bad omen. Ruby was at the table behind me, knees drawn up, scrolling through her phone with the kind of intense focus that usually meant she was avoiding something.I scraped the worst of the char into the trash and dropped two fresh slices in. The toaster clicked. The smell of bread warming filled the small space, and for a second it almost felt normal , like Mom was still in her room, humming off-key while she folded laundry, and Daniel was going to walk through the door any minute with takeout and that quiet smile he saved just for us.But Mom was gone.Daniel was… somewhere. Distant. The board meeting had come and gone, Victor’s contract had been terminated, but the distance

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN SIN    Chapter 76

    Edwin's POV The sterile fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting a harsh, unflattering pallor over the plain, gray walls. I sat stiffly in the metal chair, feeling the cold bite of the unyielding surface through my clothes. Every breath I took was measured, deliberate, trying to mask the tremor in my hands, trying to seem calm, in control. But inside, my mind was racing.Two security officers entered silently, their movements precise and practiced. They wore plain black suits, faces unreadable, like masks carved from stone. I recognized the woman first, her sharp features, cold eyes that seemed to pierce straight through me. She carried a folder, thick and well-worn, as if it contained all the secrets they’d ever need. The other, a man whose gaze was just as calculating, hovered slightly behind her.She slid the folder across the cold table with deliberate care. My eyes flicked to the photograph on the top page, grainy, but unmistakably me, caught in a candid moment in the copy ro

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN SIN    Chapter 65 

    Edwin's POV The silence in the room was oppressive, thick enough to suffocate. Daniel’s hand lingered just inches from mine, trembling slightly as if he was fighting an internal battle he couldn’t quite win. The heat of his body pressed against me, a reminder of how close we had become in those frantic moments, and yet it also felt like a chasm separating us, an unspoken truth hanging heavy in the air.I stared at him, my mind trying to process everything, the raw vulnerability in his eyes, the desperate need to protect me, and the undeniable love that shone through beneath all the fury and fear. It was a dangerous thing, falling in love with someone so deeply entangled in shadows. I knew that. But in that moment, it was all I could focus on.His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came. Instead, he leaned in, brushing his forehead against mine, a gesture so fragile and intimate it cut through the chaos like a knife. I closed my eyes for a moment, fee

    Edwin’s POVThe room was still dark when I woke up, but the gray light creeping through the curtains told me it was morning. Daniel’s arm was heavy across my waist, his breathing slow and even against the back of my neck. For a few seconds I let myself pretend last night hadn’t happened , the bar,

    Edwin’s POVThe key turned in the lock at 2:17 a.m., and the apartment door opened with a soft click that sounded louder than it should have in the silence. I stepped inside, shoes in hand, trying not to wake Ruby. The hallway light was off, but the faint glow from the streetlamp outside painted ev

    Edwin’s POVThe morning after felt like waking up inside someone else’s skin.I lay in my own bed, staring at the ceiling cracks I’d memorized as a kid, the same ones I used to count when Mom’s coughing kept me awake. The apartment smelled like burnt toast from Ruby’s attempt at breakfast and the

    Edwin’s POVThe copy room door had barely clicked shut behind Daniel when the silence hit me like a slap.I stood there, trousers still around my thighs, the copier humming uselessly behind me, pages spitting out one after another like nothing had happened. My legs felt weak. My chest felt raw. The
