The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 153: Where Have You Been?
The bridal suite felt smaller than it had two hours ago.Like the walls had leaned in. Like the air had thickened with perfume, anxiety, and the constant hum of unanswered phone calls.Evelyn stood near the vanity, her reflection staring back at her—perfect curls pinned into place, makeup untouched, gown hanging nearby like a silent witness waiting to be worn. Her fingers trembled slightly as she pressed Liam’s contact again.Call failed.She swallowed hard.“It’s still not going through,” she whispered, though everyone in the room already knew.Mrs. Voss stood by the window, her posture rigid, phone pressed tightly to her ear. She ended the call with a sharp tap and lowered it slowly, her lips pressed into a thin, controlled line.“I tried his office again,” she said. “No answer.”Mrs. Steele sat on the armchair, fingers clasped tightly together in her lap, her usual composure beginning to fracture at the edges. “What about his driver?”“Not reachable,” Mrs. Voss replied.Sophie pace
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 151: The Rescue
The air inside the room had long gone stale.It clung to Aria’s skin, thick and sour, like something rotting quietly in the corners. The blindfold over her eyes had been removed two days ago—she thought it was two days, maybe three—but it hadn’t helped. The room was still dim, lit only by a weak bulb hanging from a crooked wire above her head. It flickered sometimes. Slow. Lazy. Like it, too, was tired of existing.Her wrists burned.The rope dug into her skin, rough fibers scraping raw flesh every time she shifted—which wasn’t often anymore. Her ankles were tied to the metal leg of the chair, her muscles cramping from staying in one position too long. Her throat felt like sandpaper. Dry. Cracked. Every breath scratched.She couldn’t remember the last time she had water.Her lips parted slightly, a weak attempt at moisture that never came. Her tongue felt heavy, useless.Allen.The thought floated in and out of her consciousness like a fading echo. His small face. The way he squeezed
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 150: He's Not Coming
The hotel hall glowed beneath chandeliers that shimmered like captured stars.White roses cascaded down gold-trimmed pillars. Soft violin music played through hidden speakers, weaving through the air like something fragile and hopeful. Designers moved briskly across the polished marble floor, adjusting drapes, straightening chairs, and repositioning floral arrangements that had already been adjusted three times before.Mrs. Voss stood near the aisle, her sharp eyes scanning every detail like a general reviewing a battlefield.“No, no… that ribbon is crooked,” she said, snapping her fingers toward one of the decorators. “Straighten it. The bow must face the center, not the side. This is a wedding, not a birthday party.”The decorator rushed to obey.Beside her, Mrs. Steele examined the floral arch with folded arms, tilting her head critically. “The lilies need to be lowered slightly. They’re blocking the crystal strings.”“They are not blocking anything,” Mrs. Voss argued, stepping clo
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 149: See You Tomorrow
The sitting room smelled faintly of fresh flowers and polished wood, the sunlight spilling through the curtains and catching on ivory cushions. Mrs. Steele and Mrs. Voss were deep in discussion, comparing swatches of fabric and arguing softly over the table settings.Their voices carried the rhythm of long-standing familiarity, punctuated with laughter and gentle chiding.Evelyn and Liam sat nearby, speaking quietly, their voices barely above the hum of conversation.“The ceremony—have you thought about how you want it to feel?” Liam asked, eyes fixed on hers, earnest and steady.“I have,” Evelyn replied softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “I want it to feel… intimate. Even with all the grandeur, it should feel like us. Simple, yet memorable.”Liam nodded. “That’s good. I want it to be about us, too. Even if everything else is… exaggerated.”They shared a brief, loaded glance—something unspoken lingering in the space between them. The moment was delicate, fragile, and fu
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 148: Two Days
The living room was alive with conversation, fabrics, and gentle chaos. Samples of ivory, champagne, and blush were spread across the table. Tablet screens glowed with images of arches, floral arrangements, and candlelit tables. A few sips of cold tea were left forgotten as Mrs. Steele leaned over the images with a precision that could rival a wedding planner.“The lighting must be perfect,” she said, tapping the tablet with a manicured finger. “It can’t be harsh, or the photos will wash her out.”Evelyn tilted her head, smiling faintly. “Mom, it will be fine. I’m not too worried.”Mrs. Steele waved a dismissive hand. “Not fine. Not acceptable. This is your day. Every detail must be exquisite. You will look breathtaking, Evelyn. Trust me—you’ll make them all forget to breathe.”Evelyn laughed softly. “Thank you, Mom.”Liam’s mother, sitting primly on the sofa, nodded. “Absolutely. You’ll be stunning. Liam will… well, he won’t know what hit him.”Evelyn shifted in her seat, fingers cla
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 147: A Week
The ward smelled faintly of antiseptic and warm plastic, the steady hum of machines filling the quiet spaces where words kept failing them.Mia sat on the edge of the chair beside Allen’s bed, her spine stiff, hands folded so tightly in her lap her fingers had gone pale. Evan was on the floor with his back against the wall, dragging a toy car back and forth without really looking at it. Lily sat cross-legged on the bed, careful not to touch the tubes, her small hand hovering over Allen’s blanket like she was afraid even her shadow might hurt him.Allen was awake and quiet. Too quiet for a child who usually asks a hundred questions a minute.Mia kept glancing at his face—those lashes, that familiar crease between his brows—and every time his chest rose and fell, she exhaled like she’d been holding her breath for days.The door opened softly.Mia looked up.Ms. Calder stepped inside, still in her tailored suit, her handbag tucked under her arm like armor. Her eyes swept the room first—A
