The Hard Truth
During the car ride to wherever Helena says Ryan is, my heart can't stop beating at the rate that it is. My daughter just died, and I have barely been able to hold myself up. And then this happens, Ryan. The man who I thought cheated on me, the man that I have harboured so much hatred and anger for, is not Ryan Spencer, the man I grew up in love with. Does this change my life? Will I allow it to? How sure am I that Helena is saying the truth? Because I really don't want to believe her. Because this is so hard to digest. So painful to swallow. Am I ready to face the hard truth? Is it even the truth?
What hurts me more is what I have done. What I did. I ruined his life. Destroyed everything. His reputation? Check. His job? Check. His whole life that I brought tumbling down? Check. And meanwhile he's lying in a warehouse somewhere, like a vegetable. For a whole 365 days.Oh Lord, I'm spent. I can't take anymore of this.We arrive two hours later iRelated chapters

"I know you saw everything that happened" "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to" "Please Charles. Enough of that kindness. You deserve to know the truth" I sigh "The man I've been with till the time Ryan cheated was not Ryan, it was Brent, the man who got arrested" I see the shock and surprise on his face "Apparently Ryan hit his sister with a car and she died, so he came into my life wanting revenge, and I made it easy for him. I know Ryan was wrong, I know that he could have been the good man and mend his mistakes, get that girl to the hospital, and maybe, just maybe she would still be alive today." I pause and take in a deep breath "I'm tired Charles, I'm tired. All this is too much, I don't know how many more surprises I can take" I say and Charles pulls me into a hug. I wipe the tears on my face and try to muster some confidence within me, because I know the next words are going
HIDDEN SECRETS The Epilogue
Five years. Five solid years. I lost a lot. And it took five years to pick myself back up. I got myself a job when I came here, I stayed at a hotel the first few months, and the bills were killing me but thanks to my bank account, I got it easy. I rented an apartment next, and got my things in, which weren't much at the time. I decided to emerge myself into something new, so I took a majoring class in Psychology at the University Of Melbourne. It was like starting life like a high school graduate all over again. Already having a degree in medicine, I caught on quickly. Now I'm a psychologist, at the same time a paediatric surgeon. My reason for getting into psychology was simple, I wanted to help people find themselves as my therapist helped me to find myself. It doesn't do everything for you, but talking to someone helps. I'm a motivational speaker as well, going for talk shows here and

"Let's start by getting you naked." Charles mutters, his voice deeper, huskier. His eyes a shade darker, full of love and lust. "I am the most impatient man right now, but we are going to take this as slow as possible" His hands find my sweater, and takes it off. I gasp when my back connects with the bed. Charles proceeds to take off my jeans along with my underwear, ridding me of my clothes in the most sensual way I never knew existed, before unclasping my bra. I close my eyes in pure ecstacy. God, how much I have missed the intoxicating touch of my husband. He stands back, just to stare at me. "I just want a moment to look at you, savour this moment. You look even more beautiful now. Sexier, fuller" he murmurs, his fingers tracing my cheek, down to my neck, down to my chest, before rounding my nipples. "Shall I make you come like this?" He asks, before his mouth wraps around my areola. "Do you want

3 years later"Do I look okay? Am I looking fine? Elizabeth I think I need a little bit more blush on the side" I stare quietly at the ever confident Diane, who is surprisingly asking too many questions at this point. Ah! What weddings can do to you. "Diane, you look gorgeous." I place my hand on her shoulder. "Don't tell me you're getting cold feet" I joke. "I'm just a bit nervous. But I would never get cold feet. Benjamin and I have officially been together for seven years, nothing is going to let me draw out at the last minute" "Diane, I'm happy that you're happy" "Me too" "I hope you are not getting your make up smeared Diane Harding" Veronica says, entering the bride room. "I wouldn't dare" we all laugh. Benjamin and Diane decided to the the knot today, and Veronica and I are her bridesmaids. Veronica is now with her boyfriend, Francis. She has bee
HIDDEN SECRETS The Sting Of Betrayal
Work has always been exhausting. Being a surgeon is not easy. Especially when I'm being called in at 2am in the morning. I had to stay in the operation room for more than five hours. It's 9am now and the coffee I'm holding is barely keeping my eyes open. Meanwhile, it's two times stronger than what I normally go for. I remove my coat and hang it up and pick up my handbag, ready to hit the road for home. I can hear my bed calling my name all the way from here. If I'm to spend a second more here I'll go crazy."You leaving Dr. Harding?" My assistant asks me and I nod"If I stay here a second more I'll go totally crazy" I say with a smile.I love my job. I totally do. I knew exactly what I was going in for when I decided to become a paediatric surgeon. But sometimes it gets really overwhelming. Especially when you're being called in at the crack of dawn, the same time when sleeping is just getting better. Where I'm being cuddled in Ryan's ar
HIDDEN SECRETS I need a wife, NOW!
Charles Frost POVI pull back the stack of papers I'm going through as the shrill ringtone of my phone sounds around my office."Hello mother""Charles. You're the worst son ever. You don't even remember that you have a mother. If I don't call you to ask of you, neither do you. I don't even hear from you anymore. It's been two weeks since you called me Charles." My mother sobs into the phone.Kimberly Frost has always been dramatic. She likes to exaggerate things and take explanations to the next level. Although this time, I know she has every right to. I've truly been the worst."I'm so sorry mother. Work has been tiring and completely exhausting"And it's the complete truth. Each and every day I have to go through at least ten sets of huge stack of papers to sign contracts and get rid of old ones. I have to attend meetings and get new investors. I have been working twice as hard to beat
HIDDEN SECRETS He's so handsome, what's his name?
Elizabeth Harding POVI came to Veronica's after our talk in the car. Being the bestest friend she was, created blanket forts and ordered pizza. She also ordered my favourite ice cream, Ben and Jerry's Rocky road ice cream. I guess it was good for me to cry it all out. I mean no matter how much I plan on putting on that fierce shield, we were together for eight solid years. Eight years where we went places. Did crazy stuff together. Created beautiful memories. And all that while in eight years, not even once did Ryan act like we had a problem. Yes we had our ups and downs, but even then, he was still the perfect gentleman. I wonder what exactly went wrong. What did I do wrong? What did stupid Eva have that I didn't? That he decided to jump into bed with her.I wonder how long it has been going on. If I didn't see it for myself and someone told me, I would tell the person to go to hell because my Ryan is a masterpiece. But then I saw it myse

"Dr. Harding" a familiar voice calls out and I turn around.It's the handsome dude. Shame. He has a girlfriend."I saw that in there. I have a proposal for you""What?" I ask, curious."My bestfriend needs a wife and-"I'm a doctor. A surgeon. Not an actress.""I know. You don't need to be an actress. You have it in your blood. Please. I really need this. You're perfect for it"If it was any other day, this would look insane. But today, I'm actually considering it. It'll just pour fuel into the fire for Ryan. Meaning that my revenge gets sweeter."Okay""Okay? You mean like okay?""I mean okay. I'm in""Great. Epic. Perfect. I'll-"Wait. This has been enough drama for one day. Have my card.
