The Billionaire's Bride Hidden Identity CHAPTER 39
I had lost count of how many times I told myself not to think about Liam.It was just a moment, one sentence, and a hand wrapped around mine in front of everyone. That was all; then why couldn't I stop replaying it in my mind?I stared at the report open on my desk, but the words refused to stay still. “Oh shit.” I scratched my scalp. I couldn't even remember what page I was on. I picked up the file and brought it closer to my face; unfortunately, Liam's voice re-echoed in my head.[Whoever has a problem with my wife...can leave my company.]“Oh please.” I slid from my chair. I could still hear his voice in my head like he was saying it in front of me.He didn't shout; he simply stood beside me, like there was no other choice. I rubbed my thumb gently across my palm, the same hand Liam had held in the cafeteria. A small smile escaped before I could stop it."What are you smiling about?"I jumped. Josh stood beside my desk with two paper cups of coffee. I didn't even hear him walk ov

JOSHTrust is something that is hard to earn and easy to lose.I watched Nora from across the conference table as she focused on the construction drawings spread between us. A loose strand of her dark hair slipped over her cheek and without thinking, she tucked it behind her ear and continued marking corrections with the tip of her pen.She wasn't pretending anymore. A few weeks ago, every conversation and smile was measured, but not anymore. Now she laughed, she argued over designs and interrupted me whenever she thought I was wrong.And that was exactly where I wanted her."Nora."She looked up immediately."Hmm?""You've been staring at that same drawing for almost five minutes."She blinked before looking back at the paper. "Oh..." She sighed and rubbed her forehead. "I'm sorry."For a few seconds, of us spoke, and and she went lost again. She wasn't looking at the drawing anymore, she was somewhere else, and without asking… I already knew where her thoughts had gone.Mr Kingsley

LIAMI couldn't concentrate, I couldn't. The files on my desk had remained on the same page for almost ten minutes, yet I hadn't read a single line.My mind kept going back to the cafeteria, to Nora, to the way everyone looked at her, and the way her fingers had trembled around her phone.I leaned back in my chair and ran my fingers through my hair. I wished I had gotten there earlier, she wouldn't have had to stand there alone while my employees tore her apart.****I was already preparing to go to the cafeteria when a sharp knock interrupted my thoughts, and the door opened before I even made an invitation.Vanessa walked closer until she was standing in front of my desk, her arms folded across her chest."You've been avoiding me."I didn't answer, I picked up the file in front of me and flipped to the next page.She laughed softly. "Is this the kind of girl you choose to build your feelings for?"My hand stopped moving, just for a second, before I turned to another page. Vanessa

"Whoever has a problem with my wife... can leave my company."The words landed so hard like a grenade, but this time, a silent one. Everybody froze, including me. Someone's spoon slipped off their hand and clattered against the floor, the sound echoed through the room before heavy silence returned.My heart pounded against my ribs. Did... did Liam just say that?His hand was still wrapped around mine, it was warm, firm and steady. I lowered my eyes to our joined hands, just to confirm it was real.Just yesterday, Liam wouldn't even look at me, he barely answered my greeting this morning, and now he was standing beside me, holding my hands in front of the whole company.Vanessa stood a few feet away, instead of shock, her face hardened into something darker, her fingers tightened around the folder in her hands until the edges bent. She said nothing, but the way she stared at our joined hands made my stomach twist. Josh looked just as stunned as Vanessa. His smile had disappeared comp
The Billionaire's Bride Hidden Identity CHAPTER 35
This morning was silent. Not the peaceful kind, the strange kind of silence that made the hairs at the back of my neck stand.I slowed my steps as I walked through the lobby. Usually, people greet me, but today was different. Employees looked at me, then immediately looked away, while others lowered their voices the moment I walked past.I heard one whisper. "I swear it's all over the internet..." My brows pulled together. What were they talking about? I glanced at them again, but they quickly pretended to be busy. I ignored them, tightened my grip on my handbag and walked toward the elevator.A few minutes later, Josh walked into my office, carrying several rolled-up blueprints. The moment he saw me, his usual warm smile appeared."Morning, Nora."I smiled back automatically. "Morning."He studied my face for a second before speaking again."Too much thinking?"I laughed softly, though it didn't reach my eyes."You know me too well."He rested the blueprints against my desk."We're

The drive home was quiet, I sat beside Liam in the back seat, my hands resting on my lap tightly, my fingers had started to ache. Neither of us spoke.The silence wasn't new anymore, but tonight silence felt different.An hour ago, he had walked into that conference room like a storm and stood beside me without hesitation, he wrapped his arm around my waist in front of everyone and looked Elara straight into Elara's eye demanding an apology.He protected me as if I mattered and as if I belonged to him. I turned my head slightly, to steal a glance at him, his face remained turned toward the window, with a calm and cold expression. The same expression he wore lately.Why did he always save me, only to push me away again? The words hung on my throat.The car finally stopped. Liam had already opened the door before I could even unfasten my seat belt, I watched him walk into the mansion, his long strides never slowing. I held my chest tight with both hands."...Liam." The name escaped my l

For the first time since leaving Kingsley Holdings, I opened the email Liam's secretary had sent. I wasn't planning to accept the offer, I just wanted to see how ridiculous it was.The moment the contract loaded, my eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. I read the first page, then the second… I w

"Would you be willing to be my wife for one year?"For a moment, I was sure I had heard him wrong.I stared at Liam Kingsley, He stared right back calm, unbothered, as if he had just asked me to pass him a glass of water."Have you lost your mind?""No." His expression didn't change.I laughed, a s

I stared at the text on my phone for what felt like the hundredth time.Mrs. Sophia: Nora, please come to my office.My thumb hovered over the screen for a while. I took a deep breath and stood up.The moment I did, the elevator doors opened and Elara stepped out. Her heels clicked against the floo

The comments kept multiplying every time I refreshed the page. More people laughed at the worst night of my life. My thumb hovered over the screen as I scrolled aimlessly."She really thought she could compete with Elara Hart?""Three years and he still chose Elara. That says everything.""Someone
