Secret Revealed

Chapter Twenty-One:I left my house to the address James sent to me.I step out of the car when I grtt there and I immediately feels the cold nipping at me as I pulls my coat tighter. I stare at the small café in front of me-my heart pounds inside my chest. I can see James Carter already seated inside, his face hidden behind a newspaper as he said he would be.I take a deep breath and push the door open. The bell above chimes softly, but it seems to echo inside my head like a warning. No turning back now.James lift his head to look at me as I approach, he unfolds the paper and set it aside His expression is blank but that doesn't matter to me, what I need right now is answer and I think he's the only one who can provide the information I want.“Marie” he says as I move closer to him.I sit taking a seat opposite him. “James” I say, my voice barely a whisper, “You know I am here right? I need you to tell me everything you know. Everything you know that includes Nolan and Leo, please

Tears Of Truth

Marie's POVI can't hold my tears anymore. They spill down to my cheeks.“Is it true? I say, asking, “Everything on the phone, is it true?The heavy weight of a moment hangs between us as Nolan just stands there. His eyes, in pure shock, lock with mine. His mouth opens and his lips form my name, but nothing initially comes out."Marie," he finally says, his voice low, almost imploring.I wipe my cheeks roughly, my heart heavy with the sting of betrayal, not just by Leo but also Nolan. I choke on my words, pain and anger welling up inside me. "You let me think it was all my fault," I say, my voice barely audible. "That I wasn't enough for Léo, that somehow I was the reason he left me… and now I find out it was all because of you? You and him?But he steps closer, and I step back, unable to stand the proximity. It hurts too much, it's all so fresh, raw."I didn't want to hurt you, Marie," he says, and his voice is tight with regret. "I never meant for it to be like this.""But it is!" I

Beneath The Ruins

Chapter Twenty Three"This is a war I am scared of middling into. Leo is fighting you because of a case you know nothing about..your father actually made him go bankrupt. I can't tell how but that was what I heard from James"Nolan's face suddenly hardens, his eyes widen in shock. “My father? I do not understand, what does my father has dto do with this” he says, “My father doesn't even know I am friend with bim. What does my father have to do with Leo's father going bankrupt? I don't understand”I take a deep breath, steady myself for what I'm about to reveal. “That's what James told me. He told me that Leo's hatred for you isn't just some personal things. It was when you visited him at his house and when the mother saw you he explained everything to Leo. Your father and his father are once business partner and one thing or the other leads to his father bankrupt”Nolan glares at me, his jaws set tight and tension buzzing in his body. "That doesn't make sense. My father never said a

Next Step

Chapter Twenty-FourChapter Twenty Four "Nolan, we can't keep doing this. Stand up, let's go," I say, clear with my voice, yet calm. It's obvious as I watch him plead with Leo, the cold refusal shining bright in Leo's eyes, he won't forgive him At first, Nolan doesn't budge. Shoulders tense, his head bowed slightly, he says in a murmur, "Marie, wait," without so much as turning toward me. The tone is low, still clinging to hope. "Leo, please-just listen to me one more time. This isn't going to fix anything. Revenge won't bring back what your family lost."Leo chuckles darkly, folding his arms as he leans against his desk, his posture casual, but his eyes gleaming with malice. "Fix? Who said anything about fixing? I don't want to fix anything, Nolan. I want you to break. Feel what I felt. And seeing you here, on your knees, begging-just the start."My stomach churns at his words. I really don't like seeing Nolan like this-pleading with a person who so enjoys this upper hand he's work

A Proposal Of Protection

Chapter Twenty-Five As we get home, I really do not want to engage in NY conversation for now I just want to rest and sleep. Probably, when I wake up then I can start processing everything that's happening from the start. But for now, I need to cool my brain.I am in the bedroom while Nolan comes inside. “You aren't sleeping yet” he says when he sees my eyes open a little, “I want to talk to you.His voice is gentle and that makes me very curious about what he has to say I nod, even when I am unsure of what he wants to say.I sit right, wanting to pay attentions to what he has to say. “I have actually been thinking about everything, about Leo and about us. I don't want to feel like you are being used or being played. I don't want you to think that I don't love you because I knew I have hurt you, hurt you by lying”I raise an eyebrow, I am very confused, “Nolan, I know you are trying to protect me, I know….He interrupts, stepping closer. “But it’s not just about protection, Marie.

Warning!

Chapter Twenty SixI stand at the window, watching the sky fade from orange to a deep blue as dusk starts to fall. It's too quiet in the house, that sort of silence that feels wrong, like it's holding its breath in preparation for something terrible. Tomorrow, I am getting married, a time that really should fill me with excitement. Instead, my chest has just settled in with this cold weight. I should be thinking of flowers and vows, the life I'm about to lead with Nolan. But the only thing that grips me is this feeling of unease that I cannot shake off.Simeon sits on the couch beside me, concentrating on his books.He's my son but I won't lie, sometimes he reminds me of Leo. The resemblance with him and some other things. But that wouldn't make me love him less, he's my son.I shake my head from the thought as I turn away from the window and try to focus on the present. Then I hear it-footsteps. Slow, deliberate, closing in on the front door. My heart pounds. I hadn't expected anybod

Broken Promise

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Broken Promise Nolan stands at the altar, his eyes fixed on the large wooden doors at the far end of the aisle. He is wearing a crisp black suit, everything from the crease in his trousers to the glint on his cufflinks perfect for this moment. The hum of the guests speaks volumes of the palpable excitement in the air. But it isn't anticipation that makes Nolan's heart beat furiously inside his chest-it's something far darker. She ought to have been here by now. He looks at his wristwatch, and his stomach starts to knot up. Fifteen minutes past time. Every second felt as though it's dragging so hard, the sound of ticking a bit dreadful. Nolan can feel the piercing weight of the crowd's gaze, the way they quickly exchange nervous glances as the silence continues to stretch on. He digs his phone from his pocket, his quick, nimble fingers dialing Marie's number. He presses the phone to his ear, praying to hear her voice, soft reassurances that she's on her way

The Price Of Sillence

---Chapter Twenty Eight I sit at my bedroom window watching everything that's been going on since morning, how Nolan had knocked, I clearly heard his frustrated voice.The wedding dress I'm supposed to be wearing hangs from the closet door, its white lace taunting me every time I look its way.It feels as though everything weighs on my chest, crushing me with the truth of what I just did. By now, I should be walking down that aisle, but instead, I sat here in silence, knowing Nolan was most likely still standing there, waiting for me. The thought alone sent a wave of guilt crashing over me, the intensity making my stomach lurch.My cell phone lies glowing in its usual place on my nightstand, Nolan's name flashing across it as it rings for what must be the hundredth time tonight. But I can't answer it. I don't think I can bear to hear his voice now. Not now. How would I explain what I've done, when I don't wholly understand it myself?I bring my knees up to my chest and press my head

Unseen Bonds

Chapter Twenty NineIt's a cold morning, and I am taking my son to school. He's lagging behind me as we are approaching his school. I glance at my watch, swearing under my breath. I don't want him to be going to school late, and I still don't know if I'll be going to work.“Come on, Simeon, we're already late!" I prod, tugging his small hand gently, yet his steps drag with distractions.“Mum, I don't want to go to school” he says, scrunching his face.I look at his face and I figure out that there's something bothering him. I'll find out when he gets home after school, not now.I pause for a moment, lowering myself to his level. "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" I place my hand on his forehead, but he is cool; no fever.He shakes his head, pouting. "No, I just. I don't want to go today.“I sigh and nuzzle his arm softly. "I know you don't feel like it today, but you have to. How about we get some ice cream after school, hmm? You can pick the flavor."That perks him up some, and he

Unspoken Guilt

Chapter ThirtyThe room is sterilized, bathed in cold fluorescent light that is not even remotely comforting. I sit on the uncomfortable chair beside Simeon's bed; my heart still races from all the things that had taken place. My eyes stick to his small, pale face, so still beneath the white sheets. The beeping of the heart monitor keeps me attached to the fact that he is alive, that he's still breathing.Nolan is here, silently sitting on the other side of the room, but says a thousand words with his presence-smothering, nearly, yet not in any repulsive manner. And I do not know what to make of it. He has been here for hours, not talking much, just being here. There is this stillness in him which I don't really understand, this aura of calmness which should make me feel better. It only makes me confused.I have not uttered a word since we got here. I can't-I just can't. My throat is all dry, my head in the fuddle of guilt, with questions I couldn't answer. Why was I so preoccupied? W
