The Billionaire’s Hidden Hacker Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Selene Cole's POVSix years ago, I was made the scapegoat—accused of being a traitor.That night still haunts me.Here is where my life ends. Now, I am called back—by the man I hate and fear the most. I'm back. With one purpose: to pay back everything that man did to me.But as soon as I stepped out of the taxi, my eyes locked onto the towering glass facade of the Blackwood Corporation building, and for a moment, I felt my lungs stop working.I took a slow breath, convincing myself not to falter.As my footsteps echoed on the marble floor of the lobby, I could see several staff members turning their heads from the corner of my eye. Some were whispering. I could hear their whispers, though faint: Is that her? The girl who stole the company data?I clenched the strings of my worn hoodie. They never knew the truth. To me, this building wasn't just an office—it was a prison that cursed my name."Miss Cole?" The receptionist called out with a thin smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Mr. Bla

The contract was just a piece of paper. But its impact... like an iron noose around my neck.I still remember Lucian turning toward his car yesterday—cold, powerful. And now, this morning, I have to face the consequences.A loud knock on the door of my tiny apartment startled me."Miss Cole," a man's voice, formal. "I'm from Blackwood's legal team. We're here for the official signing."My heart sank. So fast.I took a deep breath, then opened the door. Two men in neat suits stood there, one of them carrying a black folder—just like the one Lucian had pushed at me yesterday.At the table in my living room, I signed the papers with trembling hands. A small camera on the table turned on, recording. "As legal proof," said the cold lawyer.It was done. In a matter of minutes, I was no longer just Selene Cole. I was Lucian Blackwood's "wife"—at least on paper.And it didn't take long for the news to leak.This afternoon, I had just dropped my suitcase in the apartment lobby when whispers be

Lucian hadn't said a word since the incident.In our room, only the sound of rain on the windowpane could be heard. His hands were still trembling slightly, but his face remained as cold as marble as he stared at the laptop screen on his lap."You almost died today," I finally said."Nothing new," he replied flatly.I stared at him intently. "What are you going to do now?"He turned his head, his gaze piercing. "You already know the answer, don't you?"My breath caught in my throat. "What do you mean?" I had a feeling the enemy was in the same house as us, but I didn't have any proof yet. I didn't mean to hide my suspicions—until this morning's incident."Well, I shouldn't be surprised. I suspected people in this family were trying to destroy me. I shouldn't have overreacted when I saw that name," he said coldly, his hands suddenly clenching into fists.My eyes were fixed on the laptop screen in front of him. That name—Gregory Blackwood, Lucian's biological father—stared back at us fr

"The latest model from Blackwood Motors was hacked while driving on the highway. We can see the CCTV footage from the scene...."I could only swallow hard as the news played on the television in the room, which might be better described as a home theater in this house.This morning, instead of having breakfast together, Mr. Arthur called all his children, in-laws, and grandchildren to come to this room."What is...." Aunt Wynne was speechless, her face pale. Although part of her might have been happy to corner Lucian again, if yesterday's incident really leaked to the public, it would affect the company's stock price.Blackwood Corporation was not just a company, but a business empire that spanned across multiple fields—automotive, technology, finance, and even property. Behind its great name stood four main pillars: Blackwood Motors with its electric cars and self-driving systems, Blackwood Tech, which dominated AI and cyber security, Blackwood Finance in the world of finance, and Bl

"I love you."Those words hit me hard."Is that enough?" Lucian asked without changing his position.I immediately pushed him away, and it worked."I mean, say it in front of them," I said sharply."Consider what happened earlier as practice," he said casually. "Then what do you want?" he asked again, glancing at me as I pulled the blanket over me and buried myself in it."I want to go home. I miss Noah and Mom," I said, my voice muffled by the blanket."Is that all?" Lucian asked. I couldn't see his expression when he said that, but I didn't want my stupid heart to react like it did earlier if we locked eyes again."Is that okay?" I asked this time, cautiously.Living with the Blackwood family wasn't as easy as it seemed. I was required to appear perfect in public, and after my hard work for a week paid off, I was also told that I couldn't casually form relationships with outsiders. Aunt Wynne told me that.Outsiders? Are my mother and brother considered outsiders?However, I underst
