All Chapters of Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Laura’s POVA few days later, I officially resumed work at Starshot Studios.The moment I stepped onto the set, the familiarity of it all slowly wrapped itself around me. The cameras, the scattered scripts, the movement of crew members rushing from one side of the studio to another, the faint smell of coffee drifting through the air, and the occasional call from someone asking for a lighting adjustment. It was strangely comforting.For a few minutes, I allowed myself to forget everything else.I moved around the set, meeting the members of my cast and getting introduced to the people I would be working with over the next few months. I met the director, the assistant director, several members of the production team, and a few other people who would be involved in making the movie come together.Today was mostly about formalities.Tomorrow, we would begin rehearsals. After that would come the pre-shooting preparations, and the following week, I would officially begin shooting the movie.

Laura’s POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was that the ceiling was unfamiliar.The second was the arm wrapped around my waist.I froze.For several seconds, I didn't move. I simply stared at the unfamiliar room, trying to understand where I was and why my body felt so heavy.Then I slowly turned my head.Anto.He was asleep beside me, his breathing steady, his face completely peaceful.My stomach dropped.Memories began returning in fragments.The party.The music.The pond.My stupid words.Take me home with you.Then everything after that."Fuck," I whispered, closing my eyes.Fuck.How could I have done this?How could I have allowed myself to get to this point?I carefully slipped out of Anto's arms, moving slowly enough not to wake him. My clothes were scattered across the bedroom floor, and the sight alone made my face burn. I looked around for my underwear and couldn't find it anywhere.Fantastic.Just absolutely fantastic.I had officially lost whatever tiny

Laura’s POV(Two weeks later.)It had been two weeks since that stupid night with anto. Since I saw ember and had to hear her say all manner of nonsense.I hadn't seen much of Anto, and as for Quinn I hadn't seen him since.And honestly, I was grateful.The distance had given me room to breathe.Not enough to heal, but enough to think without his presence constantly interfering with my thoughts.The movie had become my escape.Every morning, I arrived at the set, changed into whatever costume the production team had prepared, went through rehearsals, listened to the director's instructions, and spent hours learning how to become someone else.It was strange how easy it was to disappear into a character when I desperately wanted to disappear from myself.The shooting hadn't officially begun in the grand sense of the word. We were still figuring out the new set, adjusting lighting, moving equipment around, and making changes to scenes that didn't quite work the way they had looked on pa

Laura’s POVBy the time I got back to the hotel, I felt like I had lived through an entire month in a single afternoon.I closed the door behind me and stood there for several seconds, my hand still resting on the handle.I was exhausted.Not the kind of exhaustion that a good night's sleep could fix, either. It was the kind that settled somewhere deep inside your bones and made even the thought of moving feel like work.I dropped my bag beside the door and slipped off my shoes before walking toward the bed.Quinn.Just thinking about him made my chest tighten.Every single time I saw him, I convinced myself that I was prepared.I told myself I would remain calm. I would remember everything he had done. I would remember the lies, the manipulation, the accident, the marriage that had begun because of a plan I had known nothing about.I would remember all of it.And then I would see his face.And somehow, all those carefully arranged walls inside my head would collapse.Today hadn't bee

DEVON'S POVI had spent the better part of the morning trying to convince myself not to go.It would have been easier to stay away from the police station, pretend Elena no longer existed, and let the authorities handle everything from there. Her court hearing was only two days away, and soon enough, she would have to face the consequences of everything she had done to Laura.That was the entire point of my mission in the first place.I had gotten close to Elena because I needed to know whether she was responsible for what happened to Laura. I needed evidence. I needed the truth. I had expected the process to be difficult, but I had never expected myself to become emotionally involved.That was the part I hated most.I hated that somewhere along the way, Elena had stopped being a suspect and started becoming a person to me. I hated that I had begun looking forward to seeing her, listening to her, and spending time around her. Most of all, I hated that the mission had succeeded.She re
