The Billionaire’s Hidden Hacker Bride Chapter 66. The Real Home
"I can do it myself, Lucian.""You say that every morning."And every morning, he still stands behind me.His hands carefully help me slip my healthy arm into my blazer, then adjust the sling on my shoulder as if it were the most important responsibility in the world.A few weeks ago, I might have pulled away.Considered that attention a burden.Or control.Now?I just stand still and let him.Even enjoy it a little."Your meeting is at nine," I say, turning slightly to look at him. "If you're late, your grandfather will think I'm a bad influence."The corner of his mouth lifted slightly. "He already thinks you are.""Bad?""Dangerous."I raised an eyebrow."Why?""Because since you came into my life, I've stopped doing a lot of things I used to do without thinking twice."His tone was calm. Not dramatic. Not exaggerated.But there was something warm there.And it was new.The last few weeks have felt like the same world—but with a different temperature.Warmer.More... alive.We neve
The Billionaire’s Hidden Hacker Bride Chapter 65. The Same Side
Selene Cole's POVI woke up because of the silence.Not because of the pain in my shoulder.Not because of the effects of the medication that made my head feel heavy.But because the silence was different.For the past few days, every time I opened my eyes, I always found Lucian there.Sitting in a chair by the window with his laptop on his lap.Reading reports with a blank expression.Or just standing on the balcony taking business calls.He was working from home.Managing the company remotely.As if the outside world could wait while I was still in bed.Today, the chair was empty.His laptop was gone.The balcony door was tightly shut.I stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, trying to ignore the strange feeling rising in my chest.He had left before.To the office.To meetings.But he always told me.Always made sure I knew where he was going.Today... no.I slowly sit up, wincing slightly as the sling on my shoulder pulls. My hair falls over my face, and for the first time in da
The Billionaire’s Hidden Hacker Bride Chapter 64. Memory
Lucian Blackwood's POVI don't believe in coincidences.And I don't believe in explanations that are too easy.Selene might be right.The possibility that Nivara was behind the car hack is small. Too noisy. Too careless for someone who prefers open confrontation.But small doesn't mean impossible.A threat is still a threat.And I won't wait until that small possibility turns into permanent regret.I grabbed the phone from the bedside table, making sure Selene's breathing had steadied before stepping away."Ethan," I said softly once the call connected. "Reinvestigate Nivara. All her digital access over the last six months. Transactions, network connections, overseas activity."There was a moment of silence on the other end."Do you think she's involved?""I don't think I'll take the risk."I ended the call before he could ask any further questions.The room fell silent again.Then I walked over to the drawer I hadn't touched in years.The small key was still in its place.The metal w
The Billionaire’s Hidden Hacker Bride Chapter 63. Melting
"If you keep staring at me like that, I'll start to think you're enjoying this." Lucian's voice snapped me out of my reverie.It was the fifth day.Lucian didn't even lift his head from the bowl of soup in his hands. "Open your mouth."I sighed softly, but obeyed.Since that morning—since my outburst in the hospital room—he hadn't left.Not entirely.He only left when there was absolutely no other choice. Meetings that couldn't be delegated, documents that couldn't be delayed—not even by Ethan. The rest of the time, he was here.In the same chair. With the same expression. With the same determination.The nurses rarely touched me anymore except to change my IV and check my blood pressure. The housekeeper came twice, then gradually stopped coming because everything had been taken over.Lucian managed my medication schedule. Lucian made sure my sling was properly secured. Lucian fed me. Lucian held my glass when I had trouble gripping it.There was only one thing he didn't do—help me ch

"I warned you yesterday," Lucian said softly. "Don't get too close."The corridor outside the room suddenly felt narrower.I could see both of them.Lucian and Damian.Facing each other.Damian didn't answer right away.Usually, he would smile slightly. Respond with a casual remark that sounded like a joke but was actually a challenge.Usually.But not this time.His shoulders remained slumped. His gaze was no longer light. He didn't even try to step closer to the door."I just wanted to make sure she was okay," Damian finally said. His voice was low."She's fine," Lucian replied flatly. "And she doesn't need any more trouble."The sentence sounded like more than just a prohibition. I held my breath. Damian glanced at me. The gaze was different. No smile. No light teasing. Just something... heavy. Sad.And for some reason, it made my chest feel uneasy.He never usually looked like this.He would usually stay there, provoking Lucian's reaction. Provoking my reaction.But
The Billionaire’s Hidden Hacker Bride Chapter 61. Defensive Wall
Selene Cole's POVLight.Too bright.My eyelids felt heavy, as if something was holding them shut. The faint smell of antiseptic stung my nose. The air felt cold and too clean.There was a sound.Beep... beep... beep...Regular. Consistent.I tried to take a deeper breath, but my head immediately throbs. It felt like a small hammer was hitting me from the inside.What happened?Memories came in rough fragments.Morning drive.Steering wheel.The dashboard screen flashes.The accelerator that I couldn't release.Then—The crash.My body tensed reflexively. And that's when the pain hit.My right shoulder felt like it was being forcibly pulled out of its socket again. Sharp pain radiated up to my neck. My breath caught.I tried to move my right hand.Big mistake.The pain made me hiss softly without realizing it.That small movement was enough to stir something beside me.The sound of a chair sliding quickly."Selene."The voice was low. Hoarse. Too close.I opened my eyes fully this tim
