Mona POV

The first thing I remembered when I opened my eyes was how my eyes and Gregor's had met outside our rooms the day before.

More precisely, I remembered the way I had hurriedly bowed and went into my room, closing the door despite hearing him call my name.

I still wasn't sure why I had done that. Perhaps I simply wasn't ready to speak to him.

I knew I couldn't avoid him forever, though. He was now back in the manor, and unlike the day before, there was no reason for either of us to disap

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    Everyone was lying

    POV: MonaWhere was he going dressed like that?I had watched Gregor leave the house in black clothes, carrying himself like he had somewhere important to be, not the excuse he gave Arthur about going to see a friend. Nah. I didn't believe that. Was he going to see the devil? Because who would dress like that to a friend's house for crying out loud. That excuse was lame and only heaven knew if Arthur actually ate that. Well he could, there was no basic reason for Arthur to suspect Gregor. But as for me, I had reasons. Okay minus the (s). It's a reason.We all know the reason right? My suspicion has been raised ever since Gregor saw whatever he saw on his phone and his mood changed. But then instead of coming out straight, he had lied that it was nothing. Nothing? And he kept to himself throughout the ride. Even when we got home, he didn't say much, just went upstairs in a hurry and left again in a hurry.I could bet my birth certificate that wherever he had left to was connected to

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    They waited for me

    POV: GregorThe drive home wasn't jolly at all. At least to me. My mood had been ruined.I barely noticed the streets passing outside the window. My phone was still in my pocket, I didn't bring it out again or recheck the message but I could feel the weight of my phone as if the message were still sitting on the screen.They had sent me a picture.Mona and me walking into the restaurant.And those words underneath it.[ Found You Again.And right where you needed to be. ]I stared ahead, my thoughts moving faster than the car. So they were back. It was definitely them. The same people who had tried to kill me abroad.My first thought was that they had followed me here. Then I shook my head. No. They didn't follow me. They waited for me.My stomach tightened.They had predicted me. They knew I would come home. Maybe they had never even intended to kill me in the first place. Maybe the attack abroad had only been meant to scare me. To make me feel watched and unsafe.And now that messag

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    An Unexpected stop

    POV: MonaGregor and I sat side by side in the back of the car while the driver took us home.For the first few minutes, neither of us said much. The events at the company were still fresh in my mind, especially the way the reporters had surrounded us and how everything had suddenly become bigger than I expected.I was still thinking about it when the car drove over a pothole. The sudden bump threw me forward. I barely had time to react before Gregor caught my wrist. His other hand came around me, stopping me from hitting the seat in front of us. For a moment, I found myself held close to him.I blinked one and twice. Then several more times because my mind seemed to have forgotten what it was supposed to do.“I'm sorry, young master,” the driver said quickly. “That pothole came out of nowhere.”“It's fine,” Gregor replied.His voice sounded completely normal. Unlike me.I was still trying to process how close we were when Gregor suddenly seemed to realize it too. He gently removed hi

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    The girl who stood beside him

    POV: AdonisGregor's question stayed in the room. I didn't answer immediately. I didn't particularly have anyone in mind but I didn't say an outright 'No'yet. Firsy, My mind went through every person who knew about my marriage to Mona.There wasn't a long list. Mona knew. I knew. Arthur knew. Vivian knew. Gregor knew. Mona's father knew. My private doctor knew. My family lawyer knew, and so did Mona's family lawyer. Apart from them, I hadn't told anyone else. Apart from maybe the few associates that Mona was introduced to at the formal welcoming party done for Gregor.I didn't believe any of them had leaked the marriage.That didn't mean I trusted people blindly. I didn't. Trust had always been something I gave carefully, and I had learned a long time ago to know exactly who deserved it.Then there were the staff. Only a few people in the manor knew enough to have access to certain information. The butler had been with the Blackwood family for years. Mrs. Harper had served this family

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    The Question

    POV: MonaI looked at Adonis immediately after making that statement. For a few seconds, he didn't move. I could see the surprise in his eyes even through the mask. He was staring at me like he hadn't expected those words to come from my mouth.I didn't look away either. The cameras kept flashing around us, one after another, but, I barely noticed them. All I could focus on was Adonis standing beside me, still holding my hand.Then the reporters started shouting again.“Did Mr. Blackwood blackmail you into saying that?”“Do you actually love your husband?”“Have you ever seen his face?”“Did Adonis Blackwood really have nothing to do with Hart Construction's downfall?”“Why are you the one answering these questions?”“Why won't your husband speak for himself?”“How can you prove this marriage is even real?”The questions came from every direction. My fingers slowly loosened around Adonis's hand. I stepped forward, ready to answer them myself, but before I could take another step, Adon

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    Facing the press

    POV: MonaThe staff member was still standing by the door when he added, “They also know Miss Mona is here.”My brows pulled together. They knew I was here? How did they know that?I couldn't help wondering who was leaking all this information to the public. First our marriage appeared online, and now reporters somehow knew I had come to the Blackwood Company.Adonis, however, didn't seem bothered.“Tell everyone to ignore them and continue working.”I turned to him, almost in disbelief.That was his solution?The staff member hesitated.“Sir, they're causing some discomfort. They're distracting the clients, and some of the employees are finding it difficult to work with all the cameras and questions.”Adonis didn't even look concerned.“Then call the police and get them off my building.”The staff member's mouth opened slightly.“Sir...”Adonis slowly lifted his eyes to him.The look alone was enough.The staff straightened immediately. “Okay, sir.”He turned toward the door.“Wait.
