All Chapters of Hidden No More: The Billionaire’s Plus-Sized Secret: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Hemsworth's POVI had called Laura seventeen times.Nothing.No answer. No voicemail. Not even the courtesy of rejecting the call.I stared at my phone until the screen went dark, then tapped it again and called her number for the eighteenth time.Still nothing.“Where the hell are you, Laura?”I threw the phone onto the couch.For the past two days, I had tried everything I could think of. I had called her. Texted her. Contacted people who might have known where she was. I had even gone through every possible hotel in the city, only to be met with the same answer.No Laura Cardiff.She had disappeared.And somehow, everyone seemed determined to help her do it.I couldn't understand it.She was my wife.Legally, she was still my wife.That was what mattered.I grabbed my phone again and called my lawyer.He answered after the fourth ring.“Mr. Deluca.”“Where are we with the court matter?”There was a pause.“I've already explained the situation to you.”“I didn't ask what you explain

Laura's POVI woke up staring at a ceiling I still didn't recognize.For a few seconds, I stayed under the sheets, listening to the unfamiliar quiet of the motel room. Then everything came back to me at once. Dewdrop. The motel. The pregnancy. Quinn. Hemsworth. Anto.Anto.I pushed myself upright and reached for my phone on the bedside table, then stopped with my hand hovering above it. I didn't want to know what had happened to him, but not knowing was worse.The last time I'd seen him, he had been lying on a stretcher while people rushed around him. His car had been crushed against a pole, and from where I'd been sitting in my car, the accident had looked horrific. I hadn't stopped. I hadn't even gotten out to ask if he was alive.What was wrong with me?I pressed my palms against my face and tried to breathe. Maybe I should have stayed. Maybe I could have helped. Maybe an ambulance had arrived quickly enough. Maybe he was already in surgery. Maybe he was dead.The thought made my s

Baxter's POVI took off my gloves and moved through the hospital hallway, my surgical assistant accompanying me.The smell of antiseptic followed us out of the operating room, clinging to my scrubs as I walked. My shoulders felt heavy, and my hands were still aching from hours of work.I hated this part.Not the surgery itself. Surgery was what I had trained for. It was the part afterward, when I had to look at a patient's chart and admit that there was only so much a human being could do.Anto Williams had reached that point."His blood pressure is still unstable," my assistant said beside me."I know," I replied."The medications are barely keeping it up."I stopped walking."How are his organs?"She hesitated."Kidneys are failing. Liver function is deteriorating. His heart is struggling, and we're worried about his lungs."I closed my eyes for a second.That was worse than I had hoped.I had spent hours repairing what I could. We had controlled the internal bleeding, dealt with t

Hemsworth's POVI was trending again.Of course I was.My name had been everywhere for the past few days, attached to every headline I didn't want to read. Some called me desperate. Others called me obsessive. A few had gone even further, dragging my marriage, Ember's fake pregnancy, Laura's disappearance, and Anto 's accident into the same conversation.I hated all of it.I sat on my couch with a glass of whiskey in my hand, staring at the television while another entertainment channel discussed me like I wasn't sitting right there.I picked up the remote and switched it off.The room went silent.I should have been relieved.Instead, I felt trapped with my own thoughts.Laura.Everything kept coming back to Laura.Three days.She had been gone for three days, and nobody knew where she was.I'd hired someone to find her. I'd contacted lawyers. I'd tried the authorities. I'd called anyone I thought might know something.Nothing.I needed another option.Her father.I stared at my phon

Quinn's POVI missed her.It was a simple thought, but it had become impossible to escape.I missed Laura.I missed hearing her voice. I missed seeing her walk into a room and immediately make me forget whatever I had been doing. I missed the little things I used to take for granted because I had been too stupid to understand how easily I could lose them.Three days.Three days without knowing where she was.Three days of waking up and reaching for my phone before remembering that there would be no message from her.I couldn't do it anymore.I had told myself I would wait.I would let Laura come to me when she was ready. I would give her the space she had asked for. I would respect her decision, even if every part of me wanted to chase after her.But something had changed.She was pregnant.She was alone.And Hemsworth was out there looking for her.I didn't know what he was capable of anymore.That thought was enough to make me stand."I have to find her," I said.The words sounded s
