All Chapters of The Billionaire's Bride Hidden Identity : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

My phone vibrated and pulled my attention away from the report I was reviewing. I glanced at the screen, and my face lit up instantly. Mrs. Kingsley. I clicked the answer button"Good afternoon, Mom."Her warm laugh echoed through the speaker."There you are. I was beginning to think my daughter-in-law had forgotten about us."I smiled."I could never do that.""Oh? Then why has it been so long since you and Liam visited?"The smile on my face dropped. The past few weeks had been nothing but work, the Haven Resort project. As for Liam, I hoped things would get better between us everyday, and every morning, he reminded me how wrong I was."I have just been busy," I said softly."I know, sweetheart." Her voice turned gentle. "Your father has been asking about both of you. He complains everyday of how the house has become too quiet."I laughed softly as I pictured Mr. Kingsley trying to hide his feelings behind that serious face of his."So," Mrs. Kingsley continued, "I have called on h

LIAMFor some days, everything felt wrong. Not business but Nora. I noticed it earlier this week. I thought she would have gotten better by now, but…Usually whenever Nora steps out of the elevator, she looks towards my office and puts on that shy smile on her face. But today, she walked in, carrying her tablet against her chest, but she didn't look toward my office. She walked straight to her desk as though my office didn't even exist.I tried to focus on the contract lying on my table, but nothing was adding up. My eyes kept moving toward the glass wall over and over again, but she was already working, and there was no smile on her face.She looked too quiet.A knock sounded against my office door. Collin stepped inside holding the morning reports."You have the board meeting at nine, the Haven budget review at eleven and…"He stopped talking when he noticed I wasn't listening to him. His eyes slowly followed mine toward the glass wall, then returned to me."Continue," I ordered wit

LIAMI pushed the bedroom door open. The moment I saw Nora lying motionless on the bed, with a pale face and dry lips, weak breath and damp strands of hair clinging to her forehead, my breath stopped. She looked so fragile.Mr Kane was already kneeling beside the bed when I got there. His medical bag was already open; he wrapped the blood pressure cuff around Nora's arm. Juliet stood near the window, her fingers trembling at the hem of her apron.The moment she saw me, relief flashed across her worried face."Mr. Kingsley..."My eyes remained fixed on Nora."How is my wife?"I stepped closer and squatted beside the bed, placing my hand on her forehead. She was burning really hot. I looked at Doctor Kane with worried eyes."Is she going to be alright?"Doctor Kane didn't answer immediately. He checked Nora's pulse, placed a thermometer beneath her tongue before finally looking at me."Her fever is very high." Doctor Kane nodded once."And yes, she is going to be fine."The single word

NORA I didn't perceive the regular antiseptic smell or a machine beep when I first opened my eyes, although, i thought i was in the hospital, but this room was clean, warm and smelled faintly of wood.I turned and saw a bookshelf and a black suit jacket neatly hanging over a chair. This must be Liam's room. I pushed my hands against the mattress and tried to sit up, but I felt dizzy the moment I tried it."Nora."Liam called me from the side of the room. He was sitting beside the window with his laptop on his knees. The moment he saw me, he closed the laptop and stood up."You are awake."Before I could even blink, he was beside me. "I can manage." My voice came out weak.He ignored me and placed one arm around my shoulders and carefully helped me sit against the headboard. His movements were gentle, nothing like the distant Liam I had lived with these past few weeks."Are you comfortable now?"I nodded slightly and ignored the dull ache in my neck. Liam picked up a glass from the b

I stood beside the wardrobe, pretending to arrange the clothes I had already folded twice. Being in the same room with Liam was already awkward, so I needed anything to avoid looking at Liam. I glanced over my shoulder; Liam was sitting on the chair beside the bed, eyes fixed on me.I picked up my nightdress and turned toward the bathroom."Nora."Liam's voice stopped me halfway.I tightened my grip on the fabric and rolled my eyes up to the ceiling. "I am tired."I took another step toward the bathroom, but before I could reach the bathroom door, Liam's fingers grabbed my wrist. It wasn't too tight to cause pain, but it was firm enough to keep me in place.Liam moved slowly until he stood in front of me. His tie was gone, the top buttons of his shirt were undone, his sleeves were rolled to his forearms, and a few loose strands of dark hair had fallen across his forehead.He looked like he hadn't slept properly in days."We're not ending another day like this."His voice was calm, al
