Chapter 76: Secret’s We Don’t Need
Last Updated:
2025-04-05 01:00:00My heart pounded as I stared at the sight before me.
Fiona was in another man’s arms.They weren’t just standing close or talking intimately—they were embracing. His arms were wrapped securely around her, and her head rested against his chest. From the slight shake of her shoulders, I could tell she had been crying.I should have turned away immediately. Should have backed off before they noticed me. But I was frozen, caught between shock and disbelief.Then the man whispered something to her, his voice too low for me to make out. Fiona sniffled, nodding against him before finally pulling away. She wiped her face quickly, composing herself as if nothing had happened.I took that as my cue to leave.I didn’t saw the man’s face because his back was facing me, but the voice…it was familiar, I just can’t point who it was.Turning on my heel, I quietly stepped away, my mind spinning. So, this was what was really going on. Whatever was happening between Fiona a

I sighed heavily as I stared at the never-ending pile of paperwork in front of me. My vision blurred slightly from the sheer amount of numbers, reports, and documents I’d been staring at for hours. It felt like my eyeballs were about to melt from the screen’s glare.I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my temples, trying to fight off the headache that had been forming since morning.I missed my son.And I missed Hayden.I hadn’t been home properly for days now. Not because I wanted to stay late at work, but because every time I so much as blinked, another emergency report would land on my desk, practically chaining me to this godforsaken office. I’ve barely seen Blake except for the rushed mornings before he goes to school, and I know for a fact that Hayden has been handling everything at home while I drowned in work.I let out another sigh, glaring at the evil stack of paperwork as if I could set it on fire with sheer willpower alone.How does Hayden handle

The cafeteria was buzzing with employees when we walked in, their murmurs barely audible over the clinking of utensils and the occasional bursts of laughter from different tables. But as soon as Dominic and I stepped inside, the atmosphere noticeably shifted. The room got quiet and everyone glanced in our direction, and a few people even outright gawked.Great. Just great.Because having lunch with one of the city’s most talked-about man wasn’t going to be a headline waiting to happen.I sighed internally, resisting the urge to pinch the bridge of my nose. I should’ve just locked my office door.Dominic, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed, his usual smirk plastered on his face as he leisurely strolled beside me, hands shoved casually in his pockets.I purposely chose the cafeteria because I don’t want to be seen outside with him."People are staring," I muttered under my breath, shooting him a pointed look.He hummed in amusement. "Let them. May

I was standing at the construction site, observing the ongoing progress, when my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket, frowning when I saw the caller ID. Blake’s school.A sudden wave of unease washed over me as I answered.“Hello,”“Good afternoon, Ma’am,” the voice on the other end said politely. “We’re calling to inform you that your son, Blake, has been picked up early today.”I stiffened. “Picked up? By who?”“By his father, Ma’am. He mentioned it was for a night out.”My stomach dropped. “His father?” I repeated, my voice a pitch higher.“Yes, Ma’am. Mr. Dominic Russo.”My grip on the phone tightened.Dominic.Of course, it had to be him.I ended the call immediately and dialed Dominic’s number, my heart pounding in my chest. The phone rang. And rang. And rang but there was still no answer.I called again. Still no answer.By the fourth call, I was pacing, my nails digging into my palm. When he finally picked up, I d

I sat in the living room, fingers lightly tapping my knee as I waited. Dominic had taken Blake upstairs for a shower, leaving me alone in this unfamiliar house. It felt strange being here—like I was intruding on a life I had no place in. The silence continued, broken only by the faint sound of the water running upstairs. I released a heavy breathe, leaning back into the couch. My eyes drifted toward the glass doors leading to the pool, where Blake had been laughing and playing just minutes ago. He had so much fun that he pouted and tried to argue when I told him it was time to go home. I was happy that he enjoyed himself, but at the same time, I couldn’t ignore the uneasiness gnawing at me. He shouldn’t be here…but…why do I feel like I’m restricting him of something that he should be actually experiencing. I was deep in thought when I heard footsteps approaching. I turned and saw Fiona walking toward me, carrying a tray. She placed i

The flashing red and blue lights were the first things I saw as we pulled up to the entrance of our home.My heart dropped.Police cars were everywhere. Officers stood around, their radios crackling as they spoke to each other. The entire scene looked like a crime scene, and I had no idea what was happening.What was exactly going on here? Where is Hayden?I then heard Blake gasp beside me.“Whoa! Mommy, look! It’s like a scene from a villain movie!” His eyes practically sparkled with excitement. “Do you think they’re chasing bad guys? Maybe ninjas? Or—oh! Maybe it’s a secret spy mission?!”I stared at him, my anxiety skyrocketing. How could he be excited right now? What movies does Hayden let him watch when I’m not around?!“Blake, this isn’t a game,” I said, forcing myself to stay calm. “Stay close to me, okay?”He nodded, still grinning like this was the best thing ever.The second I stepped out of the car, I spotted Hayden moving through the c
Last Updated : 2025-04-08The Billionaire’s Affair Chapter 82: A Different Kind of Family
It had been nearly a week since that night—and Hayden has been giving me cold shoulder all week since he thought I was keeping something from him. Because, well… I was.And things hadn’t been the same since.He still spoke to me. Still kissed me goodbye before leaving for work. Still acted like everything was normal in front of Blake. But I felt the difference. The distance.And I hated it.He was being civil, but he wasn’t being himself. No teasing remarks. No playful back-and-forth. Just quiet smiles that didn’t quite reach his eyes. And worst of all? He didn’t hug me in his sleep anymore.So tonight, I decided to bring up something that might help lighten things between us.“Blake’s school is hosting Family Day tomorrow,” I said while setting the plates for dinner. “There’ll be games and activities, and all the kids are supposed to have both their parents or guardians with them.”Hayden, who was scrolling through his phone and barely reacted. “Hmm.”

The Family Day games were finally over.Blake had the time of his life, laughing and playing like he didn’t have a care in the world. His energy was still high even after playing a bunch of game already.It was time for food, and the people started flocking to the inner hall where the foods were placed.But Hayden?He still wasn’t here.I stood near the entrance of the school, my eyes scanning the crowd, phone gripped tightly in my hand. He hadn’t sent another message. No calls. No texts.Just… nothing.I chewed on my lower lip, feeling a strange mix of worry and frustration.Did something happen? Or did he just decide not to come? Just where is he?!Before I could spiral too deep into my thoughts, I caught movement from the corner of my eye.Blake, clutching a huge teddy bear in his tiny arms as he was practically skipping toward me.And walking beside him, hands shoved in his pockets while a lazy smirk played on his face was Dominic.

The car ride home was suffocating.Hayden hadn’t said a single word since we left the school. He just kept his hands on the wheel, eyes straight ahead, his jaw locked in silent restraint.I wanted to say something.Anything.But the air between us was so thick, I could barely breathe.Blake was in the backseat hugging his massive teddy bear, Mr. Fluffington, as he had proudly named it.And the second we arrived home, he bolted inside.“Uncle Hayden! Look at this!” he beamed, holding up the plush toy as soon as we stepped through the door. “Isn’t he cool?”Hayden forced a small smile, ruffling Blake’s hair. “Yeah, buddy. He’s awesome.”“And guess what?” Blake continued excitedly. “Papa and I won him! We played lots of games together, and it was so much fun!”I flinched.I knew the moment that word left his mouth, it was like twisting a knife into Hayden’s heart. His face scrunched a little for a moment bu tasked it off quickly.He didn’

Back at the hospital, the atmosphere felt heavier. Too sterile. Too quiet. It was the kind of silence that I hate. The only things that you you basically hear is the beeping of the monitor.Hayden still hadn’t woken up.I sat next to him in the VIP room where the nurses led me to earlier, my eyes fixed on the bandage wrapped around his head. There were scratches on his face, some bruising on his jaw. But nothing prepared me for the moment I walked in and saw him lying there, still, pale, tubes hooked to him.The nurse had said his condition was stable, but that word barely gave me comfort.Stable meant alive. Not okay.“Ms.?” A nurse peeked in. “Do you need anything?”I shook my head. “Thank you.”I asked Aiden to go home first to take care of Blake. So it was just me and Hayden right now. We have also notified their parents and Auntie almost fainted at the news and had to be taken to the hospital. Uncle said they’ll arrive tomorrow since they were o
The Billionaire’s Affair Chapter 91: Fire and Water
I was expecting him to yell. To meet fire with fire, like he always did. But Dominic just stared at me, his expression unreadable.And his stillness made me even more angrier. My hands were still slightly trembling from the slap, and my heart was pounding in my chest. But then I saw something unexpected, his eyes… it wasn’t filled with rage. They looked… concerned. And tired.He took a step forward. “Why are you crying?”I blinked, feeling the heat of my tears finally streaming down. I didn’t even realize I was crying until he said it. My throat was dry, and my chest hurt, but I wasn’t about to let him touch me—much less see me like this.When his hand reached up to wipe my face, I slapped it away. Hard.“Don’t touch me,” I said through clenched teeth. My voice cracked, but I didn’t back down.To my surprise, he didn’t push it. He actually pulled his hand back and… obeyed me. That was the scariest part. The calm before whatever twisted storm he had plann
The Billionaire’s Affair Chapter 90: Accident
My heels echoed through the hospital loudly. I didn’t care if people were staring. My heart was racing so loud it practically drowned out the sound of my steps anyway. I followed the nurse, my eyes trained on the walls but my mind all over the place.Please be okay. Please, Hayden, be okay.“He’s in this room, ma’am,” the nurse said, stopping in front of a door. She looked at me with a bit of sympathy in her eyes. “His condition has stabilized. It was a road accident—some reckless driver at an intersection. We’re still waiting for the official report.”Road accident?My breath caught in my throat as I stepped into the room.There he was.His head was wrapped in white gauze, a few cuts lining his forehead. His lip was split on one side. He had an IV in his hand and an oxygen clip on his finger. He looked... pale…and till. Too still for someone who never stops moving.My knees buckled slightly, and I had to grip the side of the door to stop myself from fall
The Billionaire’s Affair Chapter 89: Boundaries
I walked into the office that morning with a spring in my step and a smile that just wouldn’t go away. It wasn’t just a good day, it felt like the world was finally spinning the right way for me again. After everything, I was finally happy.“Good Morning Miss,” one of the interns beamed as I passed by.“Morning!” I chirped back, offering a quick wave. My heels clicked against the marble tiles like music. People nodded, smiled, even I feel like they were probably a little surprised by how bright I was glowing today. But I didn’t care. Let them wonder.But the moment I pushed the door open to my office, the smile on my face quickly drained away.Dominic was already inside with his arms crossed, pacing like he had every right to be in my space. My hand was still on the doorknob, and I’m not even sure if I should make my presence known, already seeing a huge argument coming my way.“Seriously?” I finally muttered, shutting the door behind me and rubbing my templ
The Billionaire’s Affair Chapter 88: Breaking The News
We were on our way home after unintentionally spending the night outside. I glanced down at my hand, the ring on my finger glistening even in the soft daylight.I looked down at my hand, at the ring that now sat on my finger. It was simple but beautiful. A smooth white gold band with a single diamond in the middle. But what really got me was the engraving on the inside. “My first and last”It was so Hayden. Refined, meaningful, and intentional. “My fiancée’s staring at her hand a lot,” Hayden’s voice broke through my thoughts.I rolled my eyes but couldn’t hide the smile playing on my lips. “I mean, it’s so pretty. Who wouldn’t stare?”Hayden smirked. “Should I get jealous of the ring?”I turned my hand slightly, admiring the way the sunlight made it shimmer. “Mmm. Maybe.”He scoffed, reaching over to take my left hand in his, bringing it to his lips for a brief, lingering kiss. “There. Now it’s touched by me. That should make it hundred times better.”

The night felt like something straight out of a dream. I leaned back on my hands, staring up at the vast sky, a content sigh escaping my lips. “Time flies too fast, doesn’t it?”Hayden hummed in agreement beside me. “Yeah. Feels like just yesterday we were here, and I was making a fool out of myself, trying to confess to you.”I turned my head to look at him, smirking. “Oh, you mean when you stuttered through half your confession and nearly tripped over a rock?”He raised his brow at me, “Now you’re just making things up?”I grinned. “What do you mean? That’s exactly how I remember it.” I said, teasing him.Hayden shook his head. “I can’t believe I’m marrying a woman who takes pleasure in my suffering.”I gasped, playfully shoving his arm. “Excuse me! First of all, I never agreed to marry you—”He raised an eyebrow, smirking. “Yet.”I squinted at him, suddenly suspicious. “Why do you sound so confident?”He shrugged, looking way too smug. “Ju

After dinner, Hayden leaned back in his chair, stretching his arms like a lazy cat. He had that look—the one that meant he was up to something.“We’re going somewhere,” he said casually, as if he hadn’t just blindsided me with the announcement.I raised an eyebrow. “Now? It’s late.”He smirked. “That’s the point.”I groaned, already feeling the exhaustion creeping in. “Can’t we do whatever this is tomorrow? My bed is calling me.”Hayden shook his head, standing up. “Nope. You’ll love it, I promise.”I sighed, rubbing my temples. “At least tell me where we’re going.”“Nope,” he repeated, grinning as he took my hand and pulled me up. “You can just take a nap on our way there.”I grumbled the entire way to the car. And the moment I settled inside. I was out like a blown candle.—When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the gentle hum of the car.The second thing? The eerie darkness outside.I blinked groggily, sitting up. “Where… ar
The Billionaire’s Affair Chapter 85: Spoiled and Playing
It had been way too long since Hayden and I spent time together just the two of us. And with what has been happening. I decided to clear my schedule and dedicated a whole day for the two of us. We at least deserve this needed break.The moment we stepped into the mall, he was already in full spoiling mode.“Pick whatever you want,” he said, flashing me that signature grin of his.I raised an eyebrow. “You do realize I have money now, right? I can treat you for once.”Hayden scoffed, draping an arm around my shoulders as we walked. “And deprive me of the joy of spoiling my lover? Absolutely not.”I rolled my eyes. “You’re so dramatic.”“And yet, you love it.”I sighed. “Why do you everyone keep saying that?”He just smirked and led me straight into a boutique, where I barely even had a say in what was happening.“Try this one.”“Ooh, this color will look great on you.”“We’re getting this.”Before I knew it, we were loaded wit
