NORA

I didn't perceive the regular antiseptic smell or a machine beep when I first opened my eyes, although, i thought i was in the hospital, but this room was clean, warm and smelled faintly of wood.

I turned and saw a bookshelf and a black suit jacket neatly hanging over a chair. This must be Liam's room. I pushed my hands against the mattress and tried to sit up, but I felt dizzy the moment I tried it.

"Nora."

Liam called me from the side of the room. He was sitting beside the window with h

  • The Billionaire's Bride Hidden Identity    CHAPTER 51

    LIAM I woke before Nora did. For a long moment, I just lay there still.Nora was asleep on my chest, with one of her hands resting near my collarbone, her breathing slow and even; a strand of hair had fallen across her face, with her legs tangled with mine.I stared at the ceiling, then back down at her. I felt something I hadn't felt before. Peace.This wasn't Vanessa, or Lillian. This was quiet, this was still. I had spent years convincing myself that stillness like this didn't exist for me, but here I was, awake and unwilling to move an inch, because moving meant waking her, and waking her meant— I didn't want this to end.I looked at her again, and carefully brushed a strand of hair off her cheek, tucking it behind her ear. She was still sleeping, so I let my hand rest near her jaw for a few seconds, watching the slow rise and fall of her shoulder, then her eyes opened.She didn't jolt awake the way she usually did since we started sharing the same room. This time, she looked at

    I stood beside the wardrobe, pretending to arrange the clothes I had already folded twice. Being in the same room with Liam was already awkward, so I needed anything to avoid looking at Liam. I glanced over my shoulder; Liam was sitting on the chair beside the bed, eyes fixed on me.I picked up my nightdress and turned toward the bathroom."Nora."Liam's voice stopped me halfway.I tightened my grip on the fabric and rolled my eyes up to the ceiling. "I am tired."I took another step toward the bathroom, but before I could reach the bathroom door, Liam's fingers grabbed my wrist. It wasn't too tight to cause pain, but it was firm enough to keep me in place.Liam moved slowly until he stood in front of me. His tie was gone, the top buttons of his shirt were undone, his sleeves were rolled to his forearms, and a few loose strands of dark hair had fallen across his forehead.He looked like he hadn't slept properly in days."We're not ending another day like this."His voice was calm, al

    I felt relieved and happy resuming work today. I rechecked my make-up for the fifth time. It was light and perfect, but I still looked pale. The fever had disappeared already but I lost weight.I picked up my handbag and took one last look around the room. Liam's room, now our room. I took a slow breath and walked downstairs.Juliet was already waiting by the dining table."Good morning, Mrs. Kingsley." She smiled brightly."Good morning, Juliet."She quickly pulled out a chair."Please sit.""I'm already running late.""It won't stop you from eating."I smiled faintly and sat down as she placed a plate of toast and eggs in front of me."Mr. Kingsley said I wasn't allowed to let you leave this house without breakfast."I paused midway "Liam said that?"Juliet nodded proudly."He reminded me twice this morning."I ignored Juliet and the strange feeling building inside me and lowered my eyes to eat.By the time I stepped outside, the morning air brushed against my skin. I looked toward

He was sitting beside the window with his laptop on his knees. The moment he saw me, he closed the laptop and stood up."You are awake."Before I could even blink, he was beside me. "I can manage." My voice came out weak.He ignored me and placed one arm around my shoulders and carefully helped me sit against the headboard. His movements were gentle, nothing like the distant Liam I had lived with these past few weeks."Are you comfortable now?"I nodded slightly and ignored the dull ache in my neck. Liam picked up a glass from the b

    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

    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.

    The comments kept multiplying every time I refreshed the page. More people laughed at the worst night of my life.

    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
