The Billionaire's Secret: A Nasty Web of Lies Chapter 58
"We were going to stay here for a few days. Just to stay away from people," He said, his eyes roaming her face, searching for a reaction.But Lena just stood there transfixed to the spot, her heart racing with different emotions.'Don't get too excited, it was first for Tessa, not for you,' a voice argued.'But he brought me to it. That means something.' Lena argued back. 'Adrian never did anything like this before.' she thought, trying to push out her greedy thoughts as she lifted her eyes to Thane.Her lips curled into a small smile. "Thane-" "Ignore it." He interrupted quickly and began kicking the flowers out of the way. Lena's smile dropped and she almost screamed as she watched him scatter the petals every other place other than where it originally was."Tessa always thought it was too much, anyway." He said, making sure none was left in the way. Then he turned back to Lena, whose eyes seemed to be glued to the scattered petals. "That's not why we're here. Come with me." He s

Lena sat in the reception, staring at the ultrasound photo in her hands, still refusing to believe her eyes as motherhood dawned on her.The other patients seating at the reception stared at her-out of recognition and surprise. But Lena didn't care.They wouldn't understand.Unfortunately, they couldn't determine the gender yet. But even if they could, Lena really wasn't ready for that yet. She was going to let this one sink in first.Finally lifting her eyes, she spotted Thane walking out with the doctor, both of them discussing in hush tones with Thane's eyes flickering to where she sat from time to time. Then they finally shook hands, and Thane walked over to where she was.The doctor, still with her familiar glow, mouthed. "Bye, Lena." And gave a small wave. Lena smiled and waved back, just as Thane got to where she was and stretched out his hand for her to take.Lena blinked, confused. But then she slowly placed her hand in his and stood up.Then, just like that, with her han

Lena confirmed that all wasn't well with Thane with the way he'd driven her to the hospital. First hint was him-Thane, driving by himself. It was surprising. Thane never drove himself.Then, the drive to the hospital seemed longer than usual, meaning he wasn't taking her to the hospital she was used to.And the way a dark cloud hovered above his head as he guided the car around bends and drifts, it was concerning.She really wished she could read his mind.Now, Lena was sitting in the exam room waiting for the doctor to come in. Her eyes flicked to Thane whose head was buried in his phone, leaning against the wall beside where she sat, his frown never leaving for once.He seemed really uninterested with what was going on. But why then did he insist on coming with her-taking her himself?Lena's mind raced, as she held onto her knee and gently squeezed it. This was her first prenatal visit for as long as she could remember and she was terrified.She glanced around the room.At a corne

Lena still couldn't shake the awkward feeling from the kiss she and Dante had shared, even as it'd been two days ago.Like how would she have known he was talking about her? If she'd known, she'd never have pushed him to make a move and she'd have avoided the kiss.Her head was a mess as she paced back and forth in the room. Her arms wrapped around her body. She was feeling like she'd betrayed Thane.'But wait a minute. Dante had had a crush on me all this while? Weird. I didn't notice a thing.''But why? Did he really mean all those things he said about me?''Oh, stop it. Stop it. You're married to his boss. Don't let the look in his eyes put ideas in your head,' she argued in her head.'Besides, you don't actually feel anything towards him. You're indirectly his boss as well. And what should go on between you two should be strictly professional!' her mind screamed.Lena groaned, fighting her emotions as the needing look on Dante's face after he broke the kiss flashed in her mind.S

"Did she say anything when she was leaving?" Lena asked Alex, who had been trying to clean her room quietly for the past twenty minutes. But Lena had decided to be the chatty one today.Alex hesitated, as if trying to focus on sweeping. But then she paused and looked at Lena, who was sitting on the bed. "For the last time Lena, I and Bridget were never friends. How on earth do you expect her to speak to me when she was almost in tears as she dragged her suitcase out of the house?"Lena folded her arms and turned away at Alex's indirect scolding. Thane and Dante had been so busy these days that Thane barely slept or took a second glance at her. And despite the whispers about Mrs Maddox and her troubles, Lena couldn't shake off the feeling that some of Thane's stress had to do with Bridget.'That girl is such a bother.'She and Thane hadn't even been in the same bed since she-well, since she'd given him head."Why are you so worried about her, anyway? You should be happy she's gone.

"The only reason this hasn't gotten to court is because they have no strong proof or witness." Dante said, watching Thane as he read through the stapled papers he'd handed him.Thane tapped his fingers on his desk in thought. A deep frown on his eyebrows as his mind raced.Things were getting out of hand with the entire issues with Tessa's death. As Mrs Maddox had refused to accept the fact that what happened was an accident.She'd threatened to go public again, then take it to the supreme court if Thane refused to come clean or at least produce Liam's family.Mrs Maddox was a troublesome woman, and everyone knew better than to go up against her. So most times when she came up with things like this, it was better to just ignore her.But this was different. This was a murder accusation, and Thane's reputation was on the line-he could lose a lot of things. Thane's jaw tightened. "What do you suggest I do?" Thane finally asked, keeping his eyes on the paper.Dante sighed and leaned int

Lena fumbled with the ring on her finger, smiling to herself as the car drove through the quiet evening streets.The interview had gone better than she expected, and she was glad she was given the chance to speak. And even though she'd lied through her teeth, she felt oddly proud of herself.'Thane would never cheat.' her mind mocked. 'What an irony.'She took a quick glance at her husband, who'd been quiet since they left the studio. She couldn't tell if he was pissed or impressed, or surprised, as he just held his usual unreadable look.He hadn't even said a word about their change of plans.'Was he ever appreciative of anything?' she thought. 'Handsome piece of shit.'"I can feel you staring." He suddenly said, his eyes still on his phone, checking through some messages.Lena brought her eyes back to her ring, her smile unfaltering. "How'd I do?" She asked sheepishly.Thane swallowed unconsciously, his brows creasing as he recalled her confidently lying on camera.He almost scoffed

Kelly chuckled at Thane's smile before straightening up and glancing at the tablet in her hands."Well, first of all," she began. "Everyone is surprised that despite the accident that took the life of your fiancée-Tessa Maddox; six time influencer of the year and supermodel-you got married just a few months after to another woman." She paused and turned her attention to Lena. "Now, the big question is. How did miss Lena come into the picture? Everyone wants to know." Thane smiled and paused his lips. He'd expected this question, but didn't know it'd be the first one. But anyway, he had no choice but to say what he'd rehearsed.Finally, he shifted out from his seat. "Well, usually-" "Um...um sir," Kelly interrupted, trying her best not to make the moment awkward.Thane paused. Lena frowned."I'm sorry," she said with a polite smile. "The question was for your wife,Everyone fell silent, and even movements behind the camera paused as everyone's pulse rate increased. Especially Lena.

Lena's eyes fluttered open, blinking against the morning light. She stretched, pushing the duvet off her body-Duvet? She sat up, remembering she hadn't slept with the duvet. She turned to her side but met an empty bed."Did he even sleep here at all?" She wondered, instinctively peeling under the covers as if checking to see if her clothes were intact.They were.She clicked her teeth in partial disappointment and got out of bed, rubbing her eyes.'What? You wanted him to rape you?' her mind mocked as she walked towards the bathroom to have a shower and maybe be useful around the house. She had just finished fluffing the pillows and arranging the bed neatly when the door clicked open and Thane walked in.They locked eyes for a few seconds. Thane taking in the features of the woman he'd legally tied himself with the previous day, and Lena trying to figure out why he was looking at her so strangely.'Is this how life being his wife is going to be?' she thought, turning her attention t
