All Chapters of Hiding The Devil Billionaire's Daughter : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ZURI'S POINT OF VIEW I haven’t laid eyes on Helios since that night. The mansion feels hollow without him—his study doors stay closed, his scent has faded from the linens, and I suspect he hasn’t set foot here at all. He’s vanished from the office too, leaving my desk buried under mountains of work that only he can sign off on. I’ve called his number every single day. It’s always dead. Apollo says he’s not at his penthouse in Gallagher Empire Tower. Artemis claims she has no clue where her brother’s run off to. Even his parents hunt me down for answers, their voices tight with worry. And yes—I’m terrified. Two weeks have slipped by with no word, and my mind spins through every nightmare. He has enemies in this world, men who’d gladly see him fall. What if something bad happened? No. Stop it, Zuri. You’re spiraling. “Mommy? Where’s Daddy?” Summer’s small arms wrap around me as we lie side by side in bed, her breath warm against my neck. My daughter asks the same question ev

"Daddy! I missed you!" Summer shrieked, launching herself at us the moment Helios and I stepped into the mansion. She barreled towards her father, who scooped her into his arms without a beat. Kisses rained down on his cheek as she peppered him with them. Helios chuckled, "I missed you too, Princess." My heart, a stubborn fortress, softened at the sight. "Where have you been? You didn't even call me or Mommy," my daughter pouted, her lower lip trembling adorably. "Well, I had to travel for work, Princess. But don't worry. I won't leave you again." I'd briefed Helios on all the excuses I'd spun for Summer when she’d asked about his absence. Thankfully, she wasn't too upset, despite her father vanishing without a trace. "Since I missed you, I'll let you sleep with me and Mommy," Summer announced with a mischievous grin, but her father shook his head. "No, Princess. I promised I won't sleep with your Mommy until she says yes t

Warning: Spg Once our daughter was sound asleep, Helios wasted no time, pulling me into his bedroom with an urgency that sent shivers down my spine. The moment we were inside, the door barely shut, he devoured my lips in a hungry, bruising kiss, pressing me against the cool wood. A low groan rumbled in his chest as I responded, mirroring his fierce passion, and he deepened the kiss, as if desperate to consume every last bit of me. His hunger was insatiable, his mouth claiming mine with a desperate intensity that stole my breath. His hands roamed, a molten brand against my waist, gripping and kneading as if I were the most precious, tantalizing thing he’d ever touched. When he finally pulled away, just long enough to tear off his t-shirt, my lips instinctively chased his, a yearning I couldn’t control. A flush of embarrassment warmed my cheeks, but it vanished the moment his mouth found mine again. He tangled his fingers in my hair, pulling gently but fi

Luther graciously allowed his new wife, Junko, to mingle with us women after the wedding. We gathered at a table in the reception area. I felt a blush creep up my neck; Luther had apparently expressed his desire for me to meet his wife. So here I was. At first, I felt a little out of place with the three women. It was clear they had known each other for a long time. But they quickly made me feel welcome, effortlessly drawing me into their conversations. "They're all so handsome, aren't they?" Aaliyah sighed dreamily, propping her chin on her hand as she gazed at the men's table. My eyes followed her line of sight. The group of friends were together at a table not far from us. Luther, now, was laughing freely with Lucius and Creed, a stark contrast to his quiet demeanor before the ceremony. Hunter and Helios, on the other hand, seemed engrossed in a serious discussion. "You're so lucky to marry one of them," Daphne commented to Junko, Luther's

Helios hadn't left my side since he learned about what happened at the mall. He remained a constant shadow to Summer and me, adamantly refusing to let us leave without him. Even my own solitary errands now included his formidable presence. Creed had even started complaining to Helios, questioning his purpose if I was constantly with his boss. "Mommy, I'm excited to go to school again," Summer chirped, sprawled on the bed, absorbed in her coloring book. I smiled. Most children dreaded returning to school, yet she'd never once shown a hint of reluctance. She was always eager for school each day. "Don't worry, baby. We'll go to your new school tomorrow. I'll enroll you in your class," I said, running my fingers through my hair. "Will Daddy go with us?" she asked hopefully. I smiled. "Of course, baby." She let out a joyful "yay" and returned to her coloring. I hadn't yet told Helios about Summer's enrollment tomorrow or that I needed to go to the school. But I knew he would in
