  • HIS SECRETARY'S SECRET    Ethan Moved On

    Bella PovTanya convinced me to go to a fashion industry networking event even though I didn't want to. "You need to get out there" she insisted. "You need to remind people you exist. That you're talented. That you're more than just the scandal."The gallery was full of people I used to know. Photographers and models and agency directors. Some smiled and said hello. Others pretended not to see me. I could feel people whispering when I walked past. I was about to leave when I saw him. Ethan. Standing by the bar with a beautiful woman with long dark hair. They were laughing. His hand was on her back. They looked comfortable together.I froze. Ethan had moved on. He was with someone new. Someone who probably didn't have any baggage or drama or scandal following her around. Someone fresh and uncomplicated.Ethan saw me and walked over. He smiled but it was different than before. More polite. Less warm."Bella" he said. "I didn't expect to see you here. How are you.""I'm good" I lied. "Ta

  • HIS SECRETARY'S SECRET    The Studio

    Damian PovThe moving truck pulled up to the building and I felt sick looking at it. This was where I would live now. A four story walk up in a neighborhood where sirens went off every night and the street smelled like garbage. The studio apartment cost nine hundred a month and it was the cheapest place I could find that wasn't completely falling apart.I spent the day unpacking what little I brought from the penthouse. Most of my furniture wouldn't fit so I sold it or gave it away. Now I had an air mattress for myself. A smaller air mattress for Nathan. A folding table. Two chairs. A few boxes of clothes and personal items. Everything I owned fit in this one tiny room.The support group had helped me move. Marcus from the group drove the truck. Frank helped carry boxes. They didn't say anything about how awful the apartment was. They just helped me unpack and told me it would get better. I didn't believe them but I appreciated the effort.It was my week with Nathan starting tomorrow.

  • HIS SECRETARY'S SECRET    Moving Home

    Bella PovThe email from my last remaining client came on a Wednesday morning. "We've decided to go in a different direction with our marketing. The current media attention surrounding your personal life is not aligned with our brand values. We wish you the best moving forward."I read it three times trying to convince myself I misunderstood. But there was no misunderstanding. They were firing me. My last client was walking away because of the Karen drama and the lawsuits and the scandal that wouldn't die. My modeling agency was officially dead.I opened my laptop and looked at the numbers. Fifty three thousand dollars in debt from startup costs. Zero income. Twelve hundred dollars in my checking account. Rent was due in two weeks and I didn't have it. I couldn't afford groceries. I couldn't afford diapers for Nathan. I couldn't afford anything.The landlord had already sent a notice that rent was going up starting next month. From fifteen hundred to eighteen hundred. He said the buil

  • HIS SECRETARY'S SECRET    Patterns

    Damian PovI knew something was wrong the second Bella texted me. "We need to talk. In person. Now." It was my week with Nathan but Bella never interrupted custody time unless it was an emergency. I texted back asking if Nathan was okay. She said "Nathan is fine. This is about you. Meet me at the park in an hour."I drove to the park anxious and confused. Bella was sitting on a bench far from the playground where no one would overhear us. Her face was hard and angry in a way I hadn't seen in months."What's going on" I asked. I sat down next to her but she moved away. "What's this about.""A woman named Claire came to see me" Bella said. She pulled out her phone and showed me a photo. "Your ex girlfriend from college. Remember her."My stomach dropped. Claire. I hadn't thought about her in years. Hadn't seen her since college ended and we broke up. Seeing her face on Bella's phone made me feel sick."What did she want" I asked."To warn me about you" Bella said. Her voice was cold. "T

  • HIS SECRETARY'S SECRET    Claire

    Bella PovI was at a coffee shop working on my laptop trying to salvage what was left of my agency when a woman approached my table. She was about my age with blonde hair and nervous eyes. She held her coffee cup like she needed something to do with her hands."Excuse me" she said. "Are you Bella Morgan.""Yes" I said carefully. I was used to strangers recognizing me from the scandal. Usually they wanted to take photos or ask invasive questions. "Can I help you.""My name is Claire Patterson" she said. "I need to talk to you about Damian. Can I sit down.""I don't want to talk about my ex husband with strangers" I said. I looked back at my laptop hoping she would take the hint and leave."Please" Claire said. "This is important. It's about who Damian really is. You need to know the truth before you waste any more of your life on him."Something in her voice made me look up. She seemed genuinely worried. Genuinely like she had something important to say. Against my better judgment I no

  • HIS SECRETARY'S SECRET    Lawsuits

    Damian PovMarcus called me on a Tuesday morning with what he thought was good news. "We're filing the defamation lawsuit against Karen today. We have solid evidence that her video and social media posts contain provable lies. We should win this easily.""Good" I said. I was exhausted from weeks of dealing with Karen's lies and the fallout from her viral video. "What happens after we file.""She gets served with the lawsuit papers" Marcus explained. "Then she has thirty days to respond. She'll probably try to settle out of court because she has no money and no case. This should end the harassment once and for all."Finally something was going right. Finally Karen would face consequences for destroying my reputation and Bella's business. Finally the legal system would work in our favor instead of letting her get away with everything.Marcus filed the lawsuit that afternoon. I felt hopeful for the first time in weeks. Maybe this nightmare was finally ending. Maybe Bella would see that I

    Bella PovI sat in the passenger seat of Damian's car staring out the window. My hands rested on my stomach. The baby had been kicking more lately. Little flutters that reminded me someone was depending on me to stay alive."Are you okay" Damian asked. He glanced over at me while driving."I'm fine

Too terrifying to be just my imagination.Karen stood directly over me holding a big kitchen knife in her hand. The blade was long and silver and sharp. I was lying flat on some kind of table.
