All Chapters of Married a Secret Billionaire: Chapter 1681 - Chapter 1690

Arya sat across from Maisie, her demeanor somewhat reserved, and Maisie's mood carried its own complexity.Still, Maisie offered a smile and initiated the conversation. "Did you ask me out today for a specific reason?"Arya, who appeared hesitant on the phone—a contrast to her usually candid self—replied awkwardly, "Well, it's not anything major. It's just that my parents and I have been feeling guilty about my brother's behavior. I'm wondering, do you still hold any grudges against us?"Maisie's heart warmed, and she gently held Arya's hand. "You don't need to feel this way. How could I hold any grudges against you? Your brother and I weren't a good match, and not being together might have been fated.""Now that Sophia has faced the consequences and my brother..." Arya sighed. "Graham isn't doing well, either. It's like divine retribution."I'm sorry. I shouldn't be talking about this." Arya smiled. "I'm here today to give you this!"She then presented a newly published set of c

Daniel's smile couldn't entirely mask his imposing presence, which still managed to unsettle Maisie. He gently held her hand, understanding her unspoken reason for being there."Don't worry. I was just curious," he assured her, meeting her gaze. "Maisie, are you... still afraid of me?""Still?" Maisie questioned, puzzled. "Was I afraid of you before?"Daniel fell silent, his thoughts taking him back in time.The old Maisie had indeed been fearful of him. She had been worried he might become tired of her, stop supporting her family, or cast her out on a whim. As such, she had been meticulous, going to great lengths to please him. Even in bed, she had yielded to his every desire, striving to accommodate his every whim.Back then, he had been enamored with her, seeing her as the most submissive and obedient woman he had ever met. Looking back, he now realized his affection had been more like a master's fondness for a submissive pet.Daniel gazed at her once more, the clarity in her

The car was eerily silent, almost as if a vacuum had swallowed it. Each word that emanated from the receiver landed in Daniel's ears with utmost clarity.His smile bore a hint of contempt, affirming the age-old adage—"Old habits die hard."In the past, it was Cindy who had steered Maisie into this relationship for monetary gain. Even now, with Maisie entwined with him, Cindy's words echoed a familiar tune. "While you're still youthful and attractive, and Daniel's interest endures, exploit it to your advantage!"A glint of malevolence flickered in Daniel's eyes as he gently touched Maisie's shoulder, deftly prying the phone from her grasp.Caught off guard, Maisie struggled to comprehend the unfolding events as she heard Daniel's resonant voice addressing the phone, "She has already ended things with Graham Bayer."The voice on the other end fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a shrill tone. "What... What did you say? Hello! Who are you? Did Maisie break up with Mr. Bayer b

Daniel grappled with conflicting emotions. On the one hand, he hoped that she would remember him, but on the other, he wished she could completely forget everything that had transpired before, never to recollect those memories again.-Guided by Nicole's directions, Maisie navigated her way to her family's address. She couldn't help but smile at the irony of needing a map to find her own home. Over the past two years, the concept of "home" had slowly faded from her mind."We're almost at my house," Maisie informed Daniel. "You don't have to accompany me any further. I can go on my own.""Alright. I'll head back to the company to take care of some matters.""Sure, go ahead." Maisie was aware that Daniel worked for the prestigious Quimby Group, a renowned name in this city. Daniel must have a lot of responsibilities there.With a wave and a smile, she turned to face the aging apartment building.The neighborhood was in a low-income area, surrounded by shantytowns. The remaining bu

Maisie spoke out of anger, but she noticed a hint of guilt on Cindy's face, which quickly transformed into suspicion and surprise.Cindy fixed her gaze on Maisie and asked, "Maisie, have you remembered something?"Maisie was puzzled and had no idea what Cindy was referring to.Cindy grabbed her and pressed, "Did you remember that person from before?""What person?" Maisie was still puzzled. "Who are you talking about?"Cindy was about to respond, but Maisie's phone rang, and she hurriedly went to the living room to answer it.Daniel was on the other end, his voice deep and comforting. He hadn't gone to attend to business matters but had been waiting outside her house. He was aware of the situation Maisie was facing, having dealt with Cindy a few years ago. He also knew that Maisie's family hated and feared him.After assisting Nicole with her divorce, he had warned her not to reveal his relationship with Maisie to anyone. Cindy still had no knowledge of Maisie's involvement with
