The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 178: Epilogue
Three Years LaterMorning sunlight spilled through the tall windows, stretching across the hardwood floors like warm honey.Aria stood at the kitchen island with a dish towel draped over her shoulder, watching the living room slowly descend into its usual brand of chaos.Liam’s house had always been big.Too big, she’d thought the first time she walked into it years ago.Cold marble floors. High ceilings. Silence that echoed when you spoke.Now?Now it sounded like this.Allen had turned the center rug into a construction zone. Plastic tracks, toy trucks, and what looked suspiciously like Liam’s screwdriver formed a sprawling “city” that snaked halfway under the couch.Evan lay beside him, narrating dramatically like a documentary host.“The citizens of Block City are in grave danger.”Allen frowned.“They are not in danger.”“The bridge is unstable.”“You are unstable.”On the couch, Lily sat cross-legged with her doll, brushing its tangled hair with intense focus.“Mommy,” she calle
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 177: Another Chance
The house had finally gone quiet.It didn’t happen all at once.First, the boys’ laughter faded down the hallway after Mia herded them toward their room with the promise of a movie night. Then Lily’s sleepy protests drifted through the door before dissolving into silence.Now only the faint hum of the refrigerator filled the apartment.Aria stood at the kitchen sink, rinsing the last cup.Her fingers moved slowly over the porcelain, mind somewhere far away. The warm water curled around her wrists, steam rising gently into the dim kitchen light.Behind her, Liam lingered near the doorway.He had offered to leave twice.She hadn’t answered either time.The quiet between them stretched, thick with all the years that had passed… and everything that had changed in the last few months.Aria set the cup into the rack.The small clink echoed softly.“You don’t have to stand there like a stranger,” she said without turning.A breath left Liam’s chest.“I’m trying to respect boundaries.”“You’v
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 176: A Future Together
The car rolled to a quiet stop in front of the apartment building just as the sky softened into evening.Streetlights flickered awake one by one, casting pale circles across the pavement. Somewhere nearby, someone was cooking. The scent of fried onions drifted faintly through the open window.Inside the car, the children were still buzzing with the leftover excitement of the afternoon.Allen sat forward between the seats, clutching his wall-climbing car like a treasure.“Daddy, tomorrow we should test it on a taller wall.”Evan leaned over him. “Or the school wall.”“That will get you expelled,” Aria said automatically from the passenger seat.Evan grinned.“Worth it.”Liam laughed under his breath as he pulled the keys from the ignition.“We will test it on appropriate walls,” he said.Allen tilted his head. “What does appropriate mean?”“Not your school,” Aria replied.The boys groaned dramatically.Lily, half-asleep against Aria’s arm, lifted the doll weakly.“Hope needs a blanket.
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 175: Hope
The mall was louder than Aria expected for a weekday afternoon.Voices drifted through the wide corridors—children laughing, shopping bags rustling, the distant hum of music from somewhere overhead. The place smelled faintly of caramel popcorn and perfume samples.Aria stood near the entrance for a moment, one hand curled around Lily’s small fingers while the boys ran ahead toward the escalator.“Allen, slow down,” she called.Allen turned around while still walking backward. “We are not running.”“You are absolutely running.”Evan tugged his brother’s sleeve. “Come on. Daddy said we can pick toys.”Aria’s gaze shifted toward Liam.He stood a few steps behind them, keys in one hand, watching the chaos with an expression that was part amusement and part something softer. Something almost disbelieving.Like he still couldn’t believe he was allowed to be here.When he noticed her looking, he straightened slightly.“Too much?” he asked.“For them?” Aria glanced at the boys, who were now a

The park had become a routine. Because every afternoon, after school, the same thing happened.The children ran ahead.Liam followed a few steps behind.And Aria walked beside Mia, pretending she was not aware of the man whose presence seemed to rearrange the air around her.The playground buzzed with the noise of children and tired parents. Swings creaked. A ball bounced somewhere in the distance.Allen and Evan were already racing toward the climbing frame.“Last one there is a rotten egg!” Evan shouted.Allen scoffed. “That is for babies.”“You are losing!”“I am not!”They collided with the structure in a heap of laughter.Lily stayed behind for a moment. She looked up at Liam, holding his hand.“Push me on the swing?”His face softened instantly. “Of course.”Aria watched from the bench while Mia sat beside her, sipping a bottle of water.“You are staring again,” Mia said quietly.“I am not.”“You are.”Aria exhaled slowly. “I am watching my children.”Mia tilted her head toward
The Billionaire's Secret Bride Chapter 173: For Now
It's been three days.Three full days since he stood at her door like a stranger asking permission to breathe the same air as his children.Aria told herself she did not think about it. She folded tiny socks. She packed lunchboxes. She braided Lily’s hair and pretended her hands were not shaking.Mia had not come home. She was on a night shift. The house felt bigger without her voice filling it.“Allen, shoes,” Aria called from the hallway.“They are on,” Allen answered.“They are not tied.”A pause. “I can’t tie them.”She stepped into the living room. Evan was chasing Lily with a half-eaten slice of bread. Crumbs everywhere. Chaos, warm and loud and alive. The only thing in her life she had never regretted.“Evan,” she said quietly.He stopped mid-run. He always did when she used that tone. “Sorry, Mama.”She knelt in front of him and wiped the corner of his mouth with her thumb. “You do not run with food.”He nodded, eyes wide and solemn in a way that always undid her.Allen emerge
