Hidden (Stolen, Book Two) (An Alpha Billionaire Romance) by Ella London Read Free Book Online Page A

would there be like this? She wondered. Hopefully thousands of them, strung out into the future like pebbles on the beach. An endless line of days spent getting to know each other…loving one another, raising a child, building a real life.
    Possible? She wanted it to be. And she could dream, couldn’t she?
    For the first time, she had reason to.
    Suddenly came the telltale buzzing of her phone. It wasn’t a text. It was a call from an unknown number. Harper sat up and held the phone a long moment. She knew there was no good that could come from an unknown caller, certainly not these days.
    But despite her misgivings, her curiosity got the better of her and she answered.
    “Harper? Harper Matheson?” the light, friendly female voice queried.
    “Who’s speaking?” Harper said, feeling instantly defensive for some reason.
    “This is Brigitte Sloan from Gossip USA. How are you?”
    Gossip USA was a big, nasty celebrity gossip site that had the kind of train wreck stories you couldn’t look away from. A call from one of their reporters couldn’t be anything but bad news.
    “Sorry, I really don’t have time to talk right now,” Harper said, getting ready to hang up.
    “We just wanted to get a quick comment from you,” Brigitte said.
    “I have no comment on anything, whatever this is about.”
    “So you’re not seeing Ethan Wentworth?”
    The question hung in the air, buzzing between her ears. Harper felt her breath catch in her chest.
    The shower had stopped and now the bathroom door opened. “I feel like a million bucks,” Ethan called out as he emerged from the steaming bathroom nearby.
    Harper was panic-stricken. “That’s a lie,” she whispered into the phone.
    “We have it from a good source and we’re going to be running the story with or without your comment, Miss Matheson,” the reporter said, her voice growing colder. “But surely you’d prefer to control the narrative—“
    Harper hung up the phone and turned her head toward Ethan, who was clad only in a towel. His face was smiling expectant, happy.
    She wanted to be the same. She wanted to rewind her life just three short minutes, back to when everything seemed like it could be okay again.
    But time couldn’t be rewound, and there was nothing she could do to escape what lay ahead.
