The Billionaire's Bride Hidden Identity CHAPTER 47
LIAMThere was little difference in Nora's condition on the second day. She was still pale, her lips still dry, and she was still hot.Collin had my laptop and every document that needed my approval moved into Nora's room. Every meeting was now virtual, because I planned on staying by Nora's side until she recovered.A soft knock sounded at the door, and Juliet stepped inside carrying a tray."I made oatmeal and warm tea." She lowered her voice when she noticed Nora was still asleep and placed the tray on the bedside table before looking at me."You should eat something too, Mr Kingsley. "I looked back at the laptop. "I'm fine."She frowned immediately."Mr. Kingsley… I cannot have two of my bosses lying in bed unconscious."Her gentle concern made me pause. Juliet had worked for the Kingsley family for years; she wasn't just a housekeeper, she was more like family. She continued."You can't take care of Mrs. Nora if you don't take care of yourself.""I'm alright," I said calmly. I g

LIAMI pushed the bedroom door open. The moment I saw Nora lying motionless on the bed, with a pale face and dry lips, weak breath and damp strands of hair clinging to her forehead, my breath stopped. She looked so fragile.Mr Kane was already kneeling beside the bed when I got there. His medical bag was already open; he wrapped the blood pressure cuff around Nora's arm. Juliet stood near the window, her fingers trembling at the hem of her apron.The moment she saw me, relief flashed across her worried face."Mr. Kingsley..."My eyes remained fixed on Nora."How is my wife?"I stepped closer and squatted beside the bed, placing my hand on her forehead. She was burning really hot. I looked at Doctor Kane with worried eyes."Is she going to be alright?"Doctor Kane didn't answer immediately. He checked Nora's pulse, placed a thermometer beneath her tongue before finally looking at me."Her fever is very high." Doctor Kane nodded once."And yes, she is going to be fine."The single word

NORAThe first day, I told myself that Vanessa's words had caught me off guard, that she was lying and manipulative. I should know that better than anyone; why would I believe her? So, I went to work in good spirits and buried myself in work.I pretended to be busy whenever Liam walked past my office. I didn't want to look at him, or maybe I couldn't because anytime I did, Vanessa's voice kept ringing in my head.The second day was not easy; I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Liam. Sometimes he would walk beside me; other times they were scary dreams— he would chase me away and choose Vanessa. I would open my eyes again with a soaked pillow.By the third day, I was tired of pretending. Juliet noticed after she placed dinner in front of me."Mrs. Kingsley."I looked up."Yes?"She glanced down at my untouched plate."You've barely touched your food.""I'm not really hungry." I smiled at her, making it as genuine as possible. She smiled back at me"You've said that fo

LIAMFor some days, everything felt wrong. Not business but Nora. I noticed it earlier this week. I thought she would have gotten better by now, but…Usually whenever Nora steps out of the elevator, she looks towards my office and puts on that shy smile on her face. But today, she walked in, carrying her tablet against her chest, but she didn't look toward my office. She walked straight to her desk as though my office didn't even exist.I tried to focus on the contract lying on my table, but nothing was adding up. My eyes kept moving toward the glass wall over and over again, but she was already working, and there was no smile on her face.She looked too quiet.A knock sounded against my office door. Collin stepped inside holding the morning reports."You have the board meeting at nine, the Haven budget review at eleven and…"He stopped talking when he noticed I wasn't listening to him. His eyes slowly followed mine toward the glass wall, then returned to me."Continue," I ordered wit

The next morning, after we had dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley's house, I woke up with a smile on my face. Yesterday evening kept replaying in my mind.Mrs Kingsley kept on filling my plate, insisting I was too thin. Mr Kingsley boasted to Liam over the fountain pen I bought for him.Liam didn't speak much, but he had pulled out my chair before dinner without saying a word.Mrs. Kingsley even teased him about not being a good husband because he was a billionaire; he had simply glanced at me and quietly said,"I didn't forget."The memory made my lips curve again. Maybe… I have been overthinking everything— Liam simply wasn't good at expressing himself. The thought remained in my head all morning and made my mood lighter than it had been in weeks."Good morning, Mrs. Kingsley.""Morning." I answered, smiling brightly at everyone before stepping into the elevator. The moment I stepped out of the elevator, Josh's voice welcomed me."Hello, smiley." Josh was already standing near my des

My phone vibrated and pulled my attention away from the report I was reviewing. I glanced at the screen, and my face lit up instantly. Mrs. Kingsley. I clicked the answer button"Good afternoon, Mom."Her warm laugh echoed through the speaker."There you are. I was beginning to think my daughter-in-law had forgotten about us."I smiled."I could never do that.""Oh? Then why has it been so long since you and Liam visited?"The smile on my face dropped. The past few weeks had been nothing but work, the Haven Resort project. As for Liam, I hoped things would get better between us everyday, and every morning, he reminded me how wrong I was."I have just been busy," I said softly."I know, sweetheart." Her voice turned gentle. "Your father has been asking about both of you. He complains everyday of how the house has become too quiet."I laughed softly as I pictured Mr. Kingsley trying to hide his feelings behind that serious face of his."So," Mrs. Kingsley continued, "I have called on h

I checked my time for the fifth time in ten minutes. Five-thirty. I sighed lightly as I shut down my computer and leaned back in my chair. Around me buzzed with the usual late-afternoon activity, but my attention had been elsewhere all day. On my phone, on Ethan. One message that had changed everyt

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

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
