All Chapters of The Secetary’s Secret Marriage: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter Forty-One: The Weight of SilenceI woke up to the soft morning light slipping through my curtains, but it didn’t feel gentle. My body ached in places I didn’t know could ache, my hands still felt shaky, and my chest was tight. Hunger gnawed at me, reminding me I hadn’t eaten since last night. Slowly, I forced myself up and padded toward the dining room. Every step felt heavy, as if the floor itself wanted to hold me down.The moment I reached the doorway, I froze. Lucien’s voice reached my ears, not in the soft, comforting tone I knew so well, but low and urgent, clipped as though every word carried weight.Who’s he calling? And what’s he talking about… I just hope he’s not trying to find out about what had happened yesterday, he must not, but wait…“Please, stay with Adrian,” he said. “Make sure no one comes near him. No one is allowed to meet him. Keep him safe.”My heart stopped. Adrian, the man I had stabbed. The man lying in the hospital. My hands shook violently, my fing

Chapter Forty Three : The Route Alina’s POVI arrived at the hospital, my chest tight, my hands shaking so badly I could hardly grip the car door. The moment I stepped onto the pavement, my legs felt like they might give out. My heart was racing so fast I thought everyone in the parking lot would hear it.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself, but it didn’t help. What if he wakes up? What if someone sees me? What if Lucien finds out? The fear twisted my stomach. My palms were sweaty, and I kept wiping them on my skirt, but it didn’t help. My fingers were still trembling, and my thoughts were spinning.I forced myself to walk into the hospital. Each step felt like walking on a tightrope. I glanced around nervously. People were passing by, some walking fast, some on phones. I tried to blend in, keep calm, but inside, I was screaming. I have to see him. I have to make sure he’s safe. I can’t fail…I reached the records desk. My throat was dry, and my voice felt weak as I spoke.

Chapter Forty Five: The Police InvolvedAlina’s PovThe door banged open. Heavy boots hit the floor. My head snapped up through blurred tears. Two policemen walked in, their uniforms sharp, their faces harder than stone. Their eyes scanned the room, and when they landed on me, my heart collapsed.“She’s the one,” one of the guards said quickly, pointing straight at me. “She was on him, pressing the pillow. We caught her in the act.”“No!” I screamed, shaking my head so hard my vision blurred. “No, it’s not true! I didn’t—I didn’t mean it!”The policemen didn’t blink. One of them stepped forward, his voice clipped, merciless. “Cuff her.”“No, please! Please, I wasn’t—I wasn’t trying to kill him! I swear!” My words tumbled out like broken glass, sharp and useless. My knees hit the floor again, my body collapsing under the weight of fear.The cold bite of metal wrapped around my wrists. Click. Click. The sound tore me apart. “No!” I screamed, twisting, trying to pull away. “Please! Don’t

Chapter Forty Seven : Interrogation Alina’s POVThe cold air of the interrogation room pressed against my skin like needles. The walls were bare, the light above my head too bright, making me squint. My wrists ached from the cuffs that dug into my skin. I could still feel the weight of the fake nurse uniform clinging to me, heavy with shame.I sat on the metal chair, my heart pounding so loudly that it echoed in my ears. I wanted to run. I wanted to scream. But there was nowhere to go.One of the officers slammed a file on the table. “You better start talking. You think we don’t know what you came here to do?” His voice was sharp, filled with accusation.Another officer leaned forward, pointing at me. “You stabbed him once already in his office. Now you come into the hospital, dressed as a nurse, to finish the job? This is attempted murder, young woman.”My throat closed up. Words wanted to escape, but fear held them back.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. Tears blurred my eyes. “I

Chapter Forty Nine : He Came Her Pov I sank lower in the metal chair, my wrists sore from the handcuffs, my heart racing so fast I thought it would burst. Every breath felt heavy, like the air itself was too thick. The room smelled of antiseptic and fear. My hands were shaking, my tears falling freely, and I couldn’t stop them no matter how hard I tried.“Please… just save me… just save me,” I whispered, my voice barely audible, choking on the sobs that would not stop. My body trembled all over. “I… I can explain later… I’ll explain when we get home… I swear… I’ll tell you everything…”Lucien’s presence filled the room. Even though he respected the law, I could feel his power, calm and controlled but fierce underneath. He had stepped close, his eyes locking onto mine, reading every ounce of fear and desperation. I could see the worry and anger in his gaze, but there was no question—he would protect me if he could.“Alina,” he said quietly, his voice low but steady, “I will handle th
