The hand stayed firmly over my mouth. My heart slammed wildly against my chest as I struggled on instinct, but the grip didn't tighten. Instead, a frightened whisper reached my ears.

"Don't scream... please."

There was so much fear in that voice that I stopped struggling. Slowly, the hand covering my mouth slipped away.

Moonlight spilling through the tall windows revealed a young woman dressed in a black-and-white maid's uniform. She looked only a few years older than me. Her eyes were wide wit

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    Mr Lawson

    Mrs. Harper smiled at my question but didn't answer. "You'll meet him now."Curiosity settled uneasily in my chest as I followed her through another corridor of the manor. We passed tall windows overlooking the gardens. Housemaids moved quietly from room to room with fresh flowers while a steward crossed the hall carrying a stack of files. Mrs. Harper stopped before a pair of walnut doors and pushed one open. "This way."I stepped inside. The room was smaller than the drawing room downstairs but just as elegant. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lined one wall, a fire crackled quietly in the marble fireplace despite the cool morning, and sunlight spilled across a polished oak table in the middle of the room.Two men were already there. One of them was Adonis.He sat exactly as he always did, his back straight, one arm resting on the chair while the other lay across a closed file on the table. He wore a charcoal shirt instead of the black suits I'd seen him in before, yet the silver mask r

    The hand stayed firmly over my mouth. My heart slammed wildly against my chest as I struggled on instinct, but the grip didn't tighten. Instead, a frightened whisper reached my ears."Don't scream... please."There was so much fear in that voice that I stopped struggling. Slowly, the hand covering my mouth slipped away.Moonlight spilling through the tall windows revealed a young woman dressed in a black-and-white maid's uniform. She looked only a few years older than me. Her eyes were wide with fear and every few seconds she glanced nervously toward the dark corridor leading to the East Wing.She wasn't trying to hurt me. Infact, she looked even more frightened than I was. "Miss Hart," she whispered. "Please... you can't be here."I frowned. "I heard someone crying."Her head shook almost immediately. "No." The answer came far too quickly. "There was nobody."I stared at her. "But I heard...""Please." She stepped closer and lowered her voice. "If Sir finds us here, we'll both be in

    "First."He held my gaze. "You will never attempt to remove my mask."I stared at him."Second."He took his hand of the table and leaned back on the chair. "You will never enter the East Wing." There was no threat in his voice. Only certainty.My eyes narrowed and I wanted to ask him the reason why but I already knew I won't get a response.He must have noticed. "Got something to say?" I hesitated then shook my head. "No."He studied me briefly before he continued."Third."His eyes never left mine. "You will never fall in love with me."For a second, I thought I had misheard him. Then a short, disbelieving laugh escaped me."Trust me."I met his gaze without flinching. "That's never going to happen."Arthur cleared his throat softly, though whether from discomfort or amusement, I couldn't tell. Adonis's expression remained unreadable behind the silver mask."I'm glad we're in agreement."He rose from his chair. "Mrs. Harper will show you to your room."Without another word, he turn

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    The Three Rules

    The journey back to the hospital felt longer than before. Arthur Blackwood wanted me to stay, but I couldn't. The Manor already felt suffocating. I bit my finger as Adonis's words replayed in my head. "I'm giving you twenty-four hours to reconsider your choice."I still couldn't understand it. If Adonis Blackwood truly wanted this marriage, why give me a way out?He had all the power and my family had nothing left. He could have forced the agreement and no one would have been able to stop him.Instead, he had simply told me the decision was mine. If anything, it made me even dislike him the more. So arrogant!The car pulled into the hospital entrance. Daniel came around to open my door, but I was already stepping out."I'll wait here," he said quietly. I nodded without looking at him. The sounds from people's movement greeted me as I hurried inside.Doctors moved quickly through the corridors. Nurses pushed carts from one ward to another and families waited outside patient rooms.My

  • The Billionaire behind the Silver Mask    Blackwood Manor

    The drive to Blackwood Manor passed in complete silence.I sat beside Daniel Reeves with the leather folder resting on my lap. Daniel had not said anything to me since we left the hospital. Perhaps he understood there were no words that could make any of this easier. Or he had simply run out of them. Ashcroft City disappeared behind us and before long, quiet roads shaded by old trees came in view. At last, the car slowed. I looked up and saw a pair of towering wrought-iron gates with silver crest in the center of each one. Two uniformed security officers stepped forward immediately. They weren't dressed like ordinary guards. Their movements were sharp and disciplined like the military. One of them leaned toward the driver's window before the gates began to open with a low groan. I frowned. What kind of family needed security like this? The car rolled through. Beyond the gates, a stone driveway led toward the manor. White camellias lined both sides, their petals stirring in the

    My fingers wouldn't move.The leather folder rested in my hands, its edges worn like it has existed for a while. It was nothing more than a stack of papers.So why did it feel impossibly heavy?Daniel Reeves waited without saying a word. Behind the glass doors, doctors and nurses moved briskly around my father's bed. Every instinct told me to stay where I was."Can this wait?" I asked in a low voice."I'm afraid it can't." There was no impatience in his voice. If anything, he sounded tired. "Your father made me promise that you would read those documents the moment you arrived."I swallowed hard. "What are they?""I think it's better if you see for yourself." For several seconds, I simply stared at the folder. Then, with trembling fingers, I loosened the clasp and opened it.The first page carried my name:MISS MONA HARTMy brows drew together. I turned the page and my breath caught. Across the top of the next document, bold black letters stretched from one side of the page to the oth
