The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 78
Barron’s POVMy head snapped towards the door before I even registered getting up, my body already going stiff like I’d been caught doing something I shouldn’t.And for a second there, I just stared at the dark space. Then a thought dropped in. “Grandma?” I called and she stepped in further.From the way she was standing, she'd been there long enough to see me crumble, long enough to a part of me no one deserved to know. I grimaced, suddenly realizing how vulnerable I was.“How long have you been standing there, grandma?” I asked, pushing myself up from the bed, my voice coming out rougher than I meant it to.Her lips curved slightly, but not enough to call it a smile. “Long enough,” she said simply. “I’ve seen everything.”A breath left my lips as I straightened, dragging a hand down my face before looking away.“It’s nothing you need to worry about,” I muttered, already brushing past it like I could bury the whole thing under tone alone. “I’m fine.”“You’re not fine,” she argued.I
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 77
Helena’s POVThe rest of the day didn’t feel real.It moved, sure it did. The clock kept ticking and people kept talking when I stepped out. Phones rang from every corner while footsteps passed my door like nothing had happened.But I couldn’t find myself in any of it. I was just… there. Sitting, writing, typing, sorting out files and answering calls when they came.Like my body showed up, but everything else stayed back in that moment.He didn't call after that, didn't send a message. Almost like he'd been plucked out of the earth from there.My fingers hovered over the keyboard longer than they should have, my eyes scanning the same line over and over without actually reading it. Every now and then, I’d catch myself drifting again, my mind slipping back to it before I could stop it.The kiss.My lips pressed together unconsciously, like I could still feel his lips against mine if I tried hard enough. Like it hadn’t completely left.I swallowed and looked down at the file in front o
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 76
Helena’s POVHis lips touched mine, and with it, everything inside me came rushing out.And afterwards? My body went completely still, like it didn’t know what to do with it. Like it couldn’t process what was happening fast enough to react.A sharp breath got caught somewhere in my chest, my fingers twitching slightly against him as the shock settled deep into my bones.This isn’t happening. This isn’t supposed to happen.My mind scrambled to catch up, to pull me back, to remind me of every single reason why this is wrong, why this needs to stop right now—And for a second, I almost did. I almost pulled away.The thought came clear and loud, pushing hard against my chest, telling me to end it before it got worse, before it could go any further.But then—Something else turned deep within me, not anything loud, not anything too dramatic.Just an empty feeling that felt so much like peace. Like a quiet pull. Like a silent desire.And before I could stop myself, before I could even think
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 75
Barron's POV She didn’t move after I said it. Her fingers stayed still by the side of her now closed computer.Her eyes stayed on mine for a second longer than they should have, like she was trying to read something labelled on my head, something I couldn't remember putting up there. Then she blinked quickly, almost like she had to force it, and her gaze dropped back to the desk.I kept my hand resting gently on the PC, then slowly pulled back, resting slightly on the desk.She let out a small breath, a barely audible one, and nodded like she understood everything just from that. Like she was already bracing for whatever came next.“Okay,” she said, her voice quieter this time. “Then… what do you mean?”I didn’t answer immediately. Cause I was still trying to come up with something clean to give her. As of now, I had no explanation, no prepared line. Just a mess of thoughts that refused to settle into anything I could control.My jaw tightened slightly as I looked at her. She was s
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 74
Helena's POV My mind played out the image long before the car even rolled to a stop.My chest tightened first. Then my eyes followed, locking onto the sleek black body as it rolled in like it owned the damn place.Of course it did. Of course he did.Who else but the boss himself, Barron.The name barely formed fully in my head before my stomach dipped with something sharp and sudden cutting through me.I hated how quickly it took over me. How smooth it happened. Like my body had memorized him without my knowledge.I forced my shoulders back, dragged in a sharp breath, steadying myself before the thoughts could overwhelm me. It can't happen here. Not now.Beside me, Tessy barely moved a muscle.At first, I thought she hadn’t noticed. But then she adjusted her necklace round her neck. Then her bag. Then her phone. Small things. Pointless things.The car finally slowed to a stop, then the door drew open slowly. And he stepped out.With him, everything else narrowed away.Tessy moved fir
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 73
Barron’s POVI stayed quiet for a second after saying it, my fingers resting against the edge of the counter, my mind already running ahead of me.This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.Six months. That was the timeline. Six months of distance, six months of control, six months of structure. No interference, no unnecessary entanglements. Just a contract, clean and simple. But now, I’d already crossed into it.I'd met her.I exhaled slowly, my jaw tightening as the breath left my lips. I didn’t even plan it. That was the worst part. It just… happened.“Grandma,” I called, turning slightly towards her as she stepped fully into the living room.She hummed, watching me closely. “What is it you wanted to talk about?”I hesitated. Then, I sighed. Damn it.“I wanted to talk about…” I paused, dragging a hand over my jaw before forcing it out, “the contract marriage.”She lifted her brow slightly, but she didn’t interrupt. “Okay… what about it? Is there a problem? You’re not backing out, are
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 28
Helena’s POVI didn’t realize how exhausted I was until that moment.It wasn’t the kind of tiredness that sleep could fix. It sat deeper behind my eyes, in my chest, dragging every thought down with it. “Going somewhere?” He asked as he finally reached where I was standing.I stood there for a fra

Helena's POV I could see it now. Could see what everyone was oozing about. It was everything and more worth being all so freaked out about.It was a stark contrast to what happened below and tripled my expectations.To say the executive level was something else would be an understatement.It was
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 12
Helena's POV I froze, turning to the screen of my system before I could do otherwise.Tessy's unceasing teases instantly became a thing of the past as I read the title of the message.AN INTERNAL MESSAGE.I frowned slightly before reaching out and tapping it open. Immediately it did open, the subj
The Lover Behind my Back Chapter 10
Helena’s POVI stared down at the screen for far longer than I should have.Usually, I wouldn't attend to messages by this time, but I felt some form of obligation to respond.So, I stared at it for a moment longer before unlocking it.B: You’re still awake?Against my will, a small smile tugged at
