The Billionaire's Bride Hidden Identity CHAPTER 49
I felt relieved and happy resuming work today. I rechecked my make-up for the fifth time. It was light and perfect, but I still looked pale. The fever had disappeared already but I lost weight.I picked up my handbag and took one last look around the room. Liam's room, now our room. I took a slow breath and walked downstairs.Juliet was already waiting by the dining table."Good morning, Mrs. Kingsley." She smiled brightly."Good morning, Juliet."She quickly pulled out a chair."Please sit.""I'm already running late.""It won't stop you from eating."I smiled faintly and sat down as she placed a plate of toast and eggs in front of me."Mr. Kingsley said I wasn't allowed to let you leave this house without breakfast."I paused midway "Liam said that?"Juliet nodded proudly."He reminded me twice this morning."I ignored Juliet and the strange feeling building inside me and lowered my eyes to eat.By the time I stepped outside, the morning air brushed against my skin. I looked toward

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

LIAMThere was little difference in Nora's condition on the second day. She was still pale, her lips still dry, and she was still hot.Collin had my laptop and every document that needed my approval moved into Nora's room. Every meeting was now virtual, because I planned on staying by Nora's side until she recovered.A soft knock sounded at the door, and Juliet stepped inside carrying a tray."I made oatmeal and warm tea." She lowered her voice when she noticed Nora was still asleep and placed the tray on the bedside table before looking at me."You should eat something too, Mr Kingsley. "I looked back at the laptop. "I'm fine."She frowned immediately."Mr. Kingsley… I cannot have two of my bosses lying in bed unconscious."Her gentle concern made me pause. Juliet had worked for the Kingsley family for years; she wasn't just a housekeeper, she was more like family. She continued."You can't take care of Mrs. Nora if you don't take care of yourself.""I'm alright," I said calmly. I g

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

NORAThe first day, I told myself that Vanessa's words had caught me off guard, that she was lying and manipulative. I should know that better than anyone; why would I believe her? So, I went to work in good spirits and buried myself in work.I pretended to be busy whenever Liam walked past my office. I didn't want to look at him, or maybe I couldn't because anytime I did, Vanessa's voice kept ringing in my head.The second day was not easy; I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Liam. Sometimes he would walk beside me; other times they were scary dreams— he would chase me away and choose Vanessa. I would open my eyes again with a soaked pillow.By the third day, I was tired of pretending. Juliet noticed after she placed dinner in front of me."Mrs. Kingsley."I looked up."Yes?"She glanced down at my untouched plate."You've barely touched your food.""I'm not really hungry." I smiled at her, making it as genuine as possible. She smiled back at me"You've said that fo

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

I stared at the text on my phone for what felt like the hundredth time.Mrs. Sophia: Nora, please come to my office.My thumb hovered over the screen for a while. I took a deep breath and stood up.The moment I did, the elevator doors opened and Elara stepped out. Her heels clicked against the floo

The comments kept multiplying every time I refreshed the page. More people laughed at the worst night of my life. My thumb hovered over the screen as I scrolled aimlessly."She really thought she could compete with Elara Hart?""Three years and he still chose Elara. That says everything.""Someone

I checked my time for the fifth time in ten minutes. Five-thirty. I sighed lightly as I shut down my computer and leaned back in my chair. Around me buzzed with the usual late-afternoon activity, but my attention had been elsewhere all day. On my phone, on Ethan. One message that had changed everyt
The Billionaire's Bride Hidden Identity CHAPTER FIVE
For the first time since leaving Kingsley Holdings, I opened the email Liam's secretary had sent. I wasn't planning to accept the offer, I just wanted to see how ridiculous it was.The moment the contract loaded, my eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. I read the first page, then the second… I w
