All Chapters of Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

LAURA'S POVWhen I got to the set, I didn't want to remember anything from yesterday.I didn't want to think about Quinn. I didn't have to think about Hemsworth, Anto, Elena, what happened on set yesterday, or the endless list of mistakes I had somehow managed to collect in such a short period of time.I only had to remember my lines. And bury myself In so much work I wouldn't have time to remember anything that didn't concern my new role.That was manageable.The set was already buzzing when I arrived that morning. Crew members moved around with equipment balanced on their shoulders, assistants hurried between rooms with folders pressed against their chests, and someone was arguing with the lighting department about a spotlight that apparently refused to cooperate.I stood near the entrance for a moment, taking everything in.This was familiar.Safe, almost."You're early," Carly said from behind me.I turned and found her holding two cups of coffee. She offered one to me."I don't d

LAURA'S POVI barely slept.The moment I closed my eyes, the same thought returned.My period was late.I had checked the calendar so many times that I could have memorized every date on it. I even convinced myself that I had counted wrong, so I opened it again.I hadn't.I sat on the edge of the hotel bed with my phone in my hand, staring at the screen.Late.The word had started to feel like an accusation.It didn't make sense. My life had been chaotic for months. Stress could do strange things to the body. I had barely been eating properly. I hadn't been sleeping properly either. There were days when I went from the hotel to the studio and back again without remembering to eat anything substantial.That had to be it.It had to be.I placed the phone beside me and stood."You're overthinking this," I whispered to myself.I walked toward the bathroom, washed my face, and looked at my reflection.I looked exhausted.My eyes were slightly swollen, and there were shadows underneath them

QUINN'S POVFor several seconds, I couldn't move.I stood there staring at Ember, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. Her dress was still pulled over the stomach she had spent the last ten months carrying around, but now that it had shifted out of place, there was no hiding what it really was.A pregnancy stomach.A fucking costume.What kind of person did that?What kind of person could fake an entire pregnancy just to destroy her so-called best friend's marriage? I couldn't wrap my head around it. Ember had spent months pretending to carry a child, manipulating Hemsworth, manipulating everyone around her, and apparently willing to go as far as necessary to keep Laura's life in pieces.I looked at Hemsworth.He looked completely destroyed.Ember slowly pushed herself upright, her hands immediately moving toward her stomach. She pulled at the fabric, desperately trying to reposition it."No, I am pregnant," she insisted, her voice trembling. "He hurt me."She pressed a hand aga

QUINN'S POVI went home with a throbbing eyebrow, a bruised lip, and enough pain running through my ribs to remind me that Hemsworth knew how to throw a punch.The fucker was an asshole.But he sure knew how to fight.I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, pressing a clean cloth against the bruise above my eyebrow. The cut wasn't deep enough to require anything serious, but it had bled enough that I had eventually wrapped a small bandage around it.My lip was swollen.My jaw hurt.I looked like I'd lost a fight.Technically, I had.But that wasn't what bothered me.Laura was still going to court.That was what mattered.I dropped the cloth into the sink and stared at my reflection.I didn't want Hemsworth taking her to court.I didn't want any of this.And the worst part was that I knew exactly where this entire mess had started.With me.Every time I thought about it, the regret became heavier.I had been so obsessed with revenge that I had convinced myself everything I did was jus

Laura's POVI barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, the same thoughts returned.The pregnancy test.Two lines.Two tiny lines that had somehow managed to turn my entire world upside down.I had spent most of the night sitting on the edge of the hotel bed, staring at the test like it might suddenly explain itself if I looked at it long enough. Eventually, I had wrapped it in tissue and tucked it inside the bottom drawer of the nightstand.Out of sight.Not out of mind.Nothing could make it leave my mind.I still didn't know how far along I was. I didn't know whether the baby was Quinn's or Anto's. I didn't know what I was going to do, and I definitely wasn't ready to tell either of them.Especially Quinn.Not yet.Maybe not ever.At least, not until I understood what was happening to me.I showered, dressed, and spent longer than usual standing in front of the mirror.I looked normal.That almost made me laugh.How could I look completely normal when my entire life had changed ov
