All Chapters of The Billionaire's Damned Secret: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Thalia's POV: Beverly opened the door with a soft click revealing a room nothing short of magnificent.This room was bigger and the bed was larger, the frame of the bed was dark wood that was a perfect contrast to the white sheets. The sheets were neatly arranged except for the rose petals decorating the bed, which formed the shape of a large heart."Your clothes are already in the closet" Beverly said her voice low and respectful, she gave me a small bow, as was her custom and I smiled softly in return."Thank you, Beverly" I said watching as she bowed again and left the room closing the door behind her. For a few moments, neither Alexander nor I spoke, the room was undeniably beautiful but there it felt odd like it wasn't ours, not truly."This looks... nice” I said breaking the silence as I took a few steps forward, trailing my fingers along the smooth wooden bedframe. Alexander let out a low hum, clearly not as impressed as I was."Nice is a strong word" he said his tone carryi

Thalia's POV I was absorbed in 'The Secret History' when I heard footsteps approaching the garden. Cassie appeared with Liam close behind, and she said "Lunch is ready" I lowered the book, marking my place with a finger as Lorraine stopped typing on her laptop. She glanced at Cassie and then at Liam."Finally. Is Anthony done?" she asked Liam nodded "Yeah, he's already in the dining room" Lorraine wasted no time, she snapped her laptop shut and stood, leaving the garden without another word.Cassie watched her go, then turned her gaze to me, raising an eyebrow. "I didn't expect to find you here with Lorraine" she said, clearly surprised.I closed the book and set it gently on the table "What can I say? We're bonding" I replied with a smirk Cassie laughed "That's great, let's go eat lunch" She motioned toward the kitchen and I stood following her. We walked through the kitchen and entered the corridor. When I saw Alexander approaching, our eyes met, and something shifted in the

Alexander's POVI know walking out on Thalia like that felt like the right move in the moment, but it nagged at me immediately. Lord help me that woman would be the death of me, she was just so fucking perfect. She could unravel me in ways no one else could. I was twisted in my ways and I couldn’t do that with her. I found myself descending into the not-so-secret basement, a hidden space in the house, to do what I always did when I do something shitty…drink. Now I was halfway through a bottle of bourbon, nursing a glass while Thalia's flushed face lingered in my mind.A soft ping interrupted the silence. I glanced at my phone, it was a message from Grace, the HR manager at Asplundh & Co., the same one who'd been feeding me vital intel to thwart Brandon's greedy schemes."Mr. Dahl found out about the incident with Mrs. Thalia last night. He said he sent someone for her and had warned both of you, but you didn't listen" My brows furrowed, Brandon? He couldn't have orchestrated someth

Alexander's POV I was halfway up the stairs when I heard Nolan's voice from above, he stood at the railing, leaning over to look at me with a frown."Alex?" I stopped and met his eyes then gave a slight nod "Let me get up there first" I climbed the last few steps, closing the distance between us, as I reached him, his eyes shifted to the envelope I held in my hand."What did Patrick say?" he asked, his tone edged with frustration. I handed him the envelope, and he opened it quickly scanning the contents, his expression darkening. "Of course, he's Russian and ex-military" He rubbed his hand over his face letting out a low irritated hiss between his teeth. I chuckled dryly more out of disbelief than amusement."Who hires guys like this just to deliver a letter?" Nolan said"Do we even want to know?" I said "Maybe not" he muttered a flicker of concern crossing his face, and then he handed the envelope back to me."What about the blast?" he asked, his voice low "Any updates?" "None

Alexander's POV The cold water had been exactly what I needed, it sobered me instantly. I put on a pair of grey sweatpants and a white tee, feeling far better than I had a moment ago. Just as I ran a towel over my damp hair, my phone buzzed on the table. I picked it up and saw a string of missed calls and messages lit up the screen, from Liam, Nolan, and several other contacts who had reached out.My stomach tightened. Something was wrong. I pocketed the phone and practically jogged downstairs, the sounds of raised voices drew my attention and I entered the main hall.I was met with Mother's tear-streaked face, Father's tense demeanour, Liam's clenched jaw as he paced the room and Zachary was back too, his expression oddly grim. Mother's eyes locked on me immediately"Oh, Alex..." she whispered, her voice quivering "What's going on?" I demanded scanning the room as confusion tightened in my chest."When did you last speak to Thalia?" Father asked his voice low and controlled."She
