Grace looked down. She could tell her.

She could tell Maria about Isabella. About the money. About the drink. About the photographs.

About the threats. She could finally stop lying.

But then she remembered her mother's face.

Her mother's small house.

The medical bills Isabella had once offered to help with.

And the threat that had followed when Grace tried to pull away.

“If you speak, your mother will suffer.”

Grace's throat tightened.

She shook her head. "Nothing."

Maria frowned. "That doesn't

    “Are you jealous?”He didn't answer.Her mouth slowly curved.“You are.”“I don't like the way he looks at you.”“He was helping me.”“He was flirting with you.”“He was being friendly.”“He wasn't.”Evie shook her head. “You're impossible.”“And you're not getting back out of this car until I calm down.”She stared at him. “That's not how this works.”Aiden's expression softened slightly. “You don't get to say anything right now.”Then, instead of arguing, he moved into the passenger seat at the back of the car and pulled her gently toward him.Evie landed across his lap, making her straddle his waist, startled. “Aiden!”He wrapped an arm securely around her waist.“What are you doing? And why are we in the back seat? Are we not going home?” “Slow down, angel. One question at a time.”“Well, what are you doing?”“Reminding myself that you're here.”She stared at him. “You could have just asked me to sit beside you.”“I could have.”“Then why didn't you?”“Because I'm jealous.”The h

  • The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love    Chapter 82: Are you jealous?

    Morning arrived at the Scott mansion in a rare moment of tranquillity. Illuminated through the expansive, ornate windows of the breakfast room, cast a warm glow on the polished mahogany table and illuminating the swirling steam rising from Evie's steaming mug of coffee, which shimmered with a near-golden hue. Evie sat comfortably with her sleek laptop open beside her chipped ceramic plate, her fingers deftly scrolling through a lengthy list of names on the illuminated screen. Aiden caught sight of her routine activity. "You're already working?" he inquired softly, raising an eyebrow.She looked up. “I'm not working.”“You've been staring at that laptop for ten minutes.”“Because I'm preparing for the outreach program.”Aiden poured himself coffee. “The one at the learning centre?”She nodded enthusiastically. “Yes. We're helping the children with tutoring today, and we're also taking books and basic school supplies.”Aiden watched the excitement brighten her face.“You're looking forw

"Nothing."Maria frowned. "That doesn't look like nothing."Grace forced herself to smile. "I'm just tired."She turned before Maria could ask anything else.She walked down the corridor.Made it around the corner.Then stopped. Her eyes burned.She pressed one hand against her mouth to keep herself from crying. She had almost done it. Almost told the truth. But fear had won again.That evening, Isabella called.Grace stared at the phone for several seconds before answering. She already knew why Isabella was calling. She didn't want

  • The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love    Chapter 80: Grace's fear

    Morning arrived like a sudden slap, jolting her awake. Grace had become skilled at sensing danger through subtle cues: the house's usual activity level dipping into silence, signalling that something was amiss. Scott Mansion rarely fell completely quiet; always, there was some background noise—perhaps the faint clatter of dishes in the kitchen, the soft footsteps echoing across polished marble floors, the steady hum of the air-conditioning system, or the distant, muffled sound of a door opening and closing, each detail building a picture of normalcy that, when absent, hinted at trouble.But that morning, the silence felt unnervingly different—thick and oppressive rather than gentle. It seemed to follow her closely, almost tangible. As she carried a silver tray piled with teacups and pastries through the dimly lit servants' corridor, it pressed insistently against her back, making her shoulders tense. She had barely slept, her mind haunted by a relentless thought that refused to leave

    "You stop trying to protect me by keeping things from me."He smiled. "We are still on that?"“Yeah, I need to ring it in your ear every day."Aiden laughed.Then his expression became serious again. "I promise."Evie studied him for a moment. "Good."A quiet moment passed between them.Then Aiden lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles.Evie's lips curved into a smile. "I missed you.""I've been home for less than five minutes.""It doesn't matter.""And you already missed me?""Maybe.""Maybe?"She shrugged. "Perhaps I missed annoying you.""That's definitely believable."She laughed.Aiden leaned closer.Their eyes met.There was no urgency between them.No need to prove anything.After everything they had survived, simply being able to sit together without suspicion between them felt like something precious.He gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "I don't want this.""What?""This." He gestured vaguely toward the weight hanging over them."Someone deciding what hap

  • The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love    Chapter 78: The missing hour

    The altered record stayed with Aiden long after they left the property.It wasn't the name that bothered him most.It was the effort someone had made to hide it.Someone had gone back into an old security record and changed a specific entry, carefully enough that no one would notice unless they knew exactly where to look.That meant the person responsible had understood the property's system.They knew which records mattered.They knew which ones could expose them.And, more importantly, they knew how to make the truth disappear.Aiden sat in the passenger seat as Lucas drove back toward the city, the folder containing the original documents resting between them.For several minutes, neither man spoke.Then Aiden broke the silence. "There's something we're missing."Lucas glanced at him. "The altered authorization?""No."Aiden looked out through the window."That tells us someone had access. It doesn't tell us what they did once they got inside."Lucas was quiet.Aiden continued."Ma
