Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 74.
SUMMER'S POVThe drive back to Kingsley’s house felt like it lasted a lifetime, though I barely registered a single mile of it.Felix had arrived at the music lab exactly when Kingsley instructed, his usual loud, carefree energy completely absent. He didn't pepper me with questions like he normally would, didn't try to make awkward jokes to lighten the mood, and didn't pry into the red rims of my tear-stained eyes. He just silently guided me to his car, drove me straight Kingsley's house in absolute quiet, and the second we pulled up to the gates, he muttered something about having somewhere else to be and sped away.I let myself into the grand house with a heavy heart, the quiet, empty halls feeling suffocatingly lonely."Summer?"A familiar voice called out from the living room, startling me.I looked up to see my younger brother, Clyde, stepping out into the foyer. Before I could even process what he was doing here, he crossed the distance between us in two strides and pulled me in
Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 73
KINGSLEY'S POVThe heavy slam of the music lab doors echoed off the tile walls long after George was gone, leaving a suffocating silence in his wake.I stood frozen in the middle of the room, my jaw clenched so tight my teeth ached. I looked down at Summer. She was standing a few feet away, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, her face pale and tracked with fresh tears. The guilt radiating off her tore right through my chest, instantly pushing my own frustration aside."Summer," I murmured, stepping forward and reaching out to gently touch her shoulder. "Hey, look at me."She slowly raised her eyes, her lower lip trembling. "It's all my fault," she whispered, her voice breaking. "If I had just told him months ago... if I hadn't kept hiding everything... we wouldn't have lost him.""You didn't lose him," I said, keeping my voice as steady and reassuring as I could, though a dark, burning anger was already starting to coil in my gut. "He's hurt, and he's reacting out of anger. Give
Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 72
SUMMER'S POVThe last few weeks had been a dizzying whirlwind. Between sharing our darkest pasts, laying out the ugly blueprint of the monster who has destroyed our childhood, and clinging to each other in the quiet hours of the night, things between Kingsley and me had shifted into something deep, raw, and unbreakable.But out in the real world, under the harsh fluorescent lights of the university, things were growing painfully awkward.Especially with George.Ever since that rainy night at Kingsley’s house—when George and Felix had walked in and found Lydia sitting in Kingsley's bedroom—an invisible wall had gone up. George had been distant, quiet, and evasive for the past full week. He didn't look me in the eye during lectures, he skipped our usual lunch breaks, and whenever our paths crossed in the hallways, he offered tight, forced smiles that didn't reach his eyes.I couldn't stand the silence anymore.As the final bell rang in music theory class, signaling the end of the period
Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 71.
SUMMER'S POVThe heavy rain sheeted down against the tall glass windows of the estate, washing out any possibility of an outdoor dinner date. The storm outside was relentless, howling against the pane, but inside, the living room felt entirely insulated from the rest of the world. With Eleanor away on a multi-day trip out of town, the grand house belonged entirely to the two of us.Instead of letting the weather ruin our plans, we improvised. We traded fancy restaurant reservations for an indoor setup right on the plush carpet of the living room, surrounded by takeout boxes, soft throw pillows, and the ambient glow of the fireplace."Alright, movie expert," Kingsley murmured, tossing the remote control onto the coffee table and turning to look down at me as I sat cross-legged on the rug. "The floor is yours. What are we watching? And no, you can't pick a three-hour documentary on jazz tuning."I gasped dramatically, pressing a hand to my chest in mock offense. "Jazz tuning? On a date
Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 70.
KINGSLEY'S POVThe digital clock on the nightstand glowed a sharp, neon 3:14 AM. The room was cast in deep, heavy shadows, save for the pale moonlight cutting through the slit of the curtains. My head throbbed, a dull, persistent ache behind my eyes—the lingering souvenir of too much whiskey and a night spent unraveling at the seams.I tried to shift, intending to slide quietly out of bed and grab a glass of water from the kitchen, but my movement was instantly arrested.A weight held me down.I looked down, blinking hard against the darkness. Resting across my chest was an arm, and curled tightly against my side, breathing softly, was Summer. Her face was buried deep against the fabric of my shirt, her long hair fanned out across the pillows. How did she get here?For a long while, I didn't move. I just lay there, listening to the steady, rhythmic rise and fall of her chest. The anger and betrayal that had burned so hot outside the Vixen Club earlier felt strangely distant now, repla
Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 69.
CLYDE'S POVThe fluorescent lights of the university library hummed a low, droning note that felt entirely too loud inside my head. I stared down at the open pages of my political science textbook, tracking the same paragraph for the fourth time. The words just blurred together into an unreadable gray block.I wasn't reading. I was hiding.Ever since that afternoon outside her house—ever since Kevin dropped that toxic bomb about the locked room upstairs and the brother I was apparently built to replace—I hadn't been able to look Gabrielle in the eye. My phone had been buzzing with her texts and missed calls for forty-eight hours straight, but every time her name flashed across the screen, my chest tightened with a suffocating mix of anger and betrayal. A placeholder. A key. The phrases echoed on loop in my mind.A sharp, deliberate cough sounded from the aisle right beside my desk.I froze, my grip tightening around my highlighter. I forced my eyes upward, slowly raising my head from

SUMMER'S POV The rest of the week went by so fast. I had to give George a detailed explanation of how I ended up in a stranger's bed. He would not stop budging me until I had explained myself. We promised to keep it a secret from Clyde. He would go overboard about it.George has been my best frien

SUMMER'S POV I gradually woke up, but yet again in a strange but comforting apartment. I stood up slowly, trying not to a make a sound-my head still throbbing seriously. The air felt so fresh, as I sighed in relief.I began to feed to my eyes. The house was magnificent: high ceilings, soft recesse
Dirty Little Secrets 2
SUMMER'S POV I slowly woke up, also trying to fight the throbbing headache I was feeling. "Where the hell am I?" I thought. The place smelt like woods mixed with cigarettes, and another thing that smelt like lavender. "What a weird combination." I thought. I woke up fully, and observed where I w

SUMMER'S POV I arrived at the club very late. I knew I was going to be scolded by Mr Noel, the club manager, but I cared less. Life was already hard enough for me. I clutched my bag, so tightly like my depended on it. Because my life really depended on it. I walked in, slowly. The club reeked
