Chapter 184 : Sound Of The Wind

I woke to the sound of the wind rattling the windows, though it was faint enough to make me question if I’d imagined it. My phone buzzed on the nightstand, but something about it made me hesitate before picking it up. My heart was still racing from the feeling I’d carried all night—a sense that Dima was closer than ever, that whatever peace we’d fought for was slipping away.

When I finally unlocked the phone, a message glared back at me, chilling in its simplicity.

“You can’t hide forever. I’m coming.”

No name. No signature. But I knew instantly whose handwriting it echoed in intent if not form.

I sank against the headboard, letting the phone fall into my lap. The room felt suddenly smaller, tighter, like the walls themselves were closing in. My pulse raced, and I could feel my hands trembling.

I didn’t have to see Lucien to know he sensed it too. He was already awake—he had to be. He always was, always alert, always thinking, always a step ahead.

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   The Weight I Didn’t Say Out Loud

    Chapter 191 : The Weight I Didn’t Say Out LoudAlina’s POVI didn’t break the way people expect you to break.There was no screaming.No collapse to the floor.No tears soaking pillows in the middle of the night.It was quieter than that.It started with small things.I forgot where I put my phone three times in one morning. Burned the toast. Stared at the kettle until the water boiled dry. When Lucien asked if I was alright, I smiled too quickly and said yes.I kept saying yes.But something inside me was slowing down, like a clock losing time.Every sound made me flinch.The gate opening.A car stopping outside.Lucien’s phone buzzing late at night.Sometimes I caught myself holding my breath without realizing it, as if danger could hear me breathing.Lucien noticed, of course. He always did.He started touching me more gently, like I might shatter if he wasn’t careful. His hand at my lower back when we walked. His thumb brushing my knuckles when we sat together. He asked fewer ques

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Quiet After the Storm

    Chapter 190 : The Quiet After the StormI thought the fear would leave after the attack failed.I was wrong.It stayed.It settled into the walls of the house, into the silence between footsteps, into the way every sound now felt sharper than it should. The danger had passed, at least for now, but my body didn’t believe it. My mind didn’t either.I woke before dawn, staring at the ceiling, listening to Lucien’s breathing beside me. He was awake too. I could tell. He always breathed differently when his thoughts were heavy. Slower. Controlled. Like he was holding something back.No one spoke.The night before had been chaos — shouting, alarms, rushed movements, Lucien barking orders with a voice I had never heard before. Cold. Deadly. Focused. And then the silence after, thick and terrifying.Dima had escaped.Again.I turned my head slightly and looked at Lucien’s face in the dim light. His jaw was tight, eyes fixed on nothing. I knew that look now. It was the same one he wore when he

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Standing My Ground

    Chapter 189: Standing My GroundThe morning sun barely broke through the clouds, and I felt a restless energy coursing through me. I couldn’t sit still. Dima’s last move had shaken me more than I wanted to admit, but I refused to feel powerless anymore. No more hiding. No more waiting for Lucien to fix everything.I spread out the papers and notes I had been collecting for days. Names, addresses, connections — anything that might lead me to Dima’s new ally. Every line I read, every detail I connected, made my pulse race. I realized something Lucien hadn’t: someone close to him was feeding Dima information. That someone trusted Lucien… but betrayed us.I swallowed hard. This was bigger than I thought. And if I didn’t act now, the next attack would hit harder.I checked my phone. Lucien was still in meetings at the office, probably unaware of the detail I had just discovered. I knew I couldn’t wait for him to notice. I took a deep breath. “I can do this,” I whispered to myself. “I have

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Realization

    Chapter 188: RealizationI had been watching the monitors, checking the security feeds, making sure every corner of the property was locked down. Every movement was accounted for. Every visitor, every car. Nothing was left to chance. I thought I was ready for anything. I thought I controlled everything.Then I saw her name on a message I didn’t expect. Alina.Not a casual note. Not a question. Something about Dima. Something that made my chest tighten. I scrolled through quickly, reading her plan. My blood ran cold, not because of danger — I knew she could handle danger — but because she hadn’t told me.I leaned back, gripping the edge of the desk. My mind raced. She was… bold. Too bold. Brave. Dangerous. Smart. All at once.A part of me wanted to be angry — furious — that she’d gone behind my back. But another part… a bigger part, felt a swell of pride I couldn’t hide. She wasn’t the same woman who had been scared, who had trembled at threats. She was thinking, planning, moving. Taki

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Within

    Chapter 187: Fire WithinThe morning light barely reached my room, but I was already awake. My hands were shaking slightly—not from fear, but from anticipation. Ever since Dima’s last threat, I couldn’t stop thinking, planning, wondering what would happen next. Lucien had been tense too, but I refused to let him shoulder all the danger alone. Not anymore.I dressed quickly, choosing clothes that would let me move freely—something practical, but still neat. My heart pounded as I checked the house one last time, ensuring everything was as safe as it could be. I wasn’t a child anymore. I had survived, I had learned, and I was ready.Lucien entered the room, his expression a mix of surprise and admiration. “You’re ready,” he said, voice low, almost approving. “You shouldn’t have to face this, Alina.”I shook my head. “I’m not waiting in the shadows anymore. If Dima wants to play his games, he’ll deal with both of us. I can’t just sit and watch.”He didn’t argue. Instead, he gave a small n

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Fire Before the Storm

    Chapter 186: The Fire Before the StormI couldn’t remember the last time I felt completely at peace. Even in Lucien’s house, with everything secure and luxurious around me, there was always a lingering tension I couldn’t shake. And today, that tension slammed back into my chest like a physical blow.It started with the call — a subtle alert from one of Lucien’s security heads. At first, I thought it was just routine, but the urgency in the tone made my stomach knot. Lucien was already gone, sitting in his office, the blinds drawn, his laptop open, eyes sharp and focused.“Alina,” he said without looking up. His voice was calm, but I felt it thrumming with something unspoken. “Dima is planning something. Bigger than last time.”I froze, the words barely registering. Bigger? I had seen him try before. I had felt the cold threat of his hatred aimed at me, but I had survived. And now… bigger?“I want you to stay safe,” Lucien continued, his hand hovering over a tablet. “This time it coul
