In that split second of shock, Miles landed blow after blow, years of pent-up anger finally finding a target.

"Grant Pierce, she was nothing but good to you. How could you treat her like this? How does a person get this heartless?"

"You absolute coward. She poured everything she had into you, and you have no idea what she went through just to try to give you a child."

"Bea had her on an intervention protocol, an eight-centimeter needle, straight into her abdomen, every other day, for months. Sh

  • The Lie Behind His Devotion    Chapter 69: Who's the Man Next to Her?

    With nothing else on her plate for the evening, Nora agreed.She drove home to change, and Felix came to collect her.She settled on a champagne-colored gown, restyling her hair to match. Felix arrived at her door just as she stepped out of the bedroom.When Helen opened the door and caught sight of him, her whole face lit up the exact expression of a mother sizing up a promising son-in-law."And you are?"Felix, ever smooth with anyone's parents, turned on the charm instantly. "You must be Nora's mother. You look far too young for that title, honestly. I'm Felix Nora's classmate, and technically her senior."Helen beamed, clearly charmed. "Felix, dear, what does your family do?""Modest little business," Felix said, all easy smiles."Oh, business is good," Helen said approvingly. "Small business, even better, very stable..."Nora crossed the room and looped her arm through Felix's. "I'm ready. Let's go."Felix said his goodbyes, and as they headed out, Nora glanced back to find Helen

  • The Lie Behind His Devotion    Chapter 68: Are You Possessed by Something?

    David had returned to his hotel after leaving the horse farm. He was in Solenne on an extended market research trip, expected to stay roughly a month.Bea reached out and arranged for the three of them to meet at the hotel restaurant.David agreed without hesitation, and the moment he saw Nora again, his admiration was written plainly across his face."Nora you're injured, and here I am making you come to me. I should have been the one visiting your hospital room."Something lit up in Nora's expression at the shift.From "Ms. Amanda" to "Nora." He's genuinely warmed to me now.She smiled, warm but composed. "It's already an honor that you'd make time to see me at all, Mr. David.""Don't be modest. Let's talk numbers, how much are you looking to borrow?"Men like David preferred getting straight to business, with little patience for extended preamble.Nora wasted no time either, laying out her prepared documents. "Mr. David. I need three hundred million."This time, David actually read

  • The Lie Behind His Devotion    Chapter 67: Do You Think I Could Have Stopped Her?

    Bea drove straight to the nearest hospital, where, oddly, several of the city's top specialists arrived at almost the same time.The sudden gathering of experts at an otherwise unremarkable hospital sent ripples through the entire staff, with plenty of curious doctors finding excuses to wander by, hoping to pick up something from the visiting talent.What nobody expected was that the patient in question had nothing more than a fractured arm and a mild concussion, the kind of case any competent doctor on staff could have handled without assistance. Why summon an entire panel of specialists for something this minor?Nora lay in her hospital bed while Weston and Nash saw the visiting doctors out, leaving her alone with Bea.Bea, who'd held her tongue earlier out of politeness, finally seized her opening.She settled cross-legged on the chaise lounge, adopting the posture of someone conducting a formal interrogation. "The top specialists from Meridian City Hospital, mobilized for a fractu

    Nora had genuinely forgotten to pack riding gear, but under the circumstances, improvising was the only real option.She texted Bea, asking her to keep David engaged with whatever topics might hold his interest while she sorted things out; a bored, restless client wouldn't do her any favors going forward.About ten minutes later, she returned to the advanced track and rejoined Bea.She'd changed into a fitted black riding outfit, the vest cutting a sharp, slender line through her figure, black helmet secured snugly, sharpening every feature of her face."Mr. David. Ready when you are."Her appearance drew more than a few stares, Julian's, most obviously.Something in his gaze went beyond simple admiration, edging into something more charged.They'd been together for years, and Julian had always known she was beautiful. They'd never once crossed certain lines, though not for lack of wanting, on his part. Nora had set that boundary, and back then, still deeply in love with her, he'd res

  • The Lie Behind His Devotion    Chapter 65: Can You Please Stop Bothering Me?

    The horse farm sat several dozen miles outside the city center, and by the time they arrived, the afternoon heat had settled in fully.After parking, staff guided Nora and Bea to the advanced riding track, reserved for guests skilled enough to handle it.Bright sun overhead, a light breeze cutting through the heat.Bea scanned the area without spotting David. "I'll give him a call.""Go ahead," Nora said.Bea stepped aside to make the call. Left alone, Nora's gaze landed on a face she recognized instantly.Julian.Her jaw tightened, and she turned to angle herself away too late. He'd already spotted her."Nora!" he called out, already crossing the distance.He reached her, warmth radiating off him. "What are the odds, running into you here. Did you pick this place on purpose?"Julian had always loved horseback riding; he'd been the one to teach her, actually, back when they were together, bringing her out to this exact farm more times than she could count.Of course today of all days,

  • The Lie Behind His Devotion    Chapter 64: You Can't Even Handle This?

    You're not as good as Vivian.Vivian's better than you at everything.Nora, you need to apologize to Vivian....These were the words Elliot had repeated to her, almost on rotation, ever since she turned eighteen. The worst of it, seared permanently into her memory, was the time he'd physically forced her to her knees to apologize to Vivian all because Vivian had lost a bracelet and pinned the blame on Nora without a shred of proof. Elliot hadn't asked a single question before taking his sister's side.Standing here now, replaying it all, something old and raw ached in her chest.She lifted her chin, meeting his glare with a cold smile. "You're right. I really can't compare to Vivian. I could never match her level of cruelty. Is that supposed to be an insult, Elliot, or are you just stating facts?"Elliot's grip on the thermos in his hand tightened until his knuckles went white. "Say that again, Nora. I dare you."She scoffed. "Struggling already? I always knew you were simple, Elliot
