Semua Bab HE’S TEN YEARS YOUNGER; MY SECRET HUSBAND: Bab 1 - Bab 6

NYRAMy life had been harsh, silent, and filled with streams of endless despair bottled up inside my heart, hidden under the disguise of a smile no one could see.But one thing was certain!Despite the ache that had lived in me for years, today felt different. A strange warmth bloomed in my chest because I was getting married. “Wow… It’s beautiful. Thank you, Kathy,” I whispered, flashing a smile as soft as silk. She’d turned me into a masterpiece… one that would leave jaws dropping the moment I walked in.It was my wedding. My moment. Nothing could’ve felt more deserved than today.Or so I thought.

Those little acts of his showcased his flawless, tanned skin. His brown hair, styled backwards. He had a little mole on the lower side of his rosy lips, revealing his sexy, carved, full dark brows and scanty long lashes. Jayden was tall back then, but now… he was six feet taller.
