บททั้งหมดของ Dark Secrets and Dangerous Love: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Matthew dug his knife into the man's gut, digging in further than the time before as his victim panted, tears streaming down his face. "I swear, I don't know anything." He pleaded, but Matthew didn't listen. He knew that was a lie and wouldn't stop until he got the truth. "We have gone over this. I don't like being lied to." Matthew hissed, throwing his fist into the man's face. The hilt of the knife intensified the impact, and the man's head shot backward with a loud crack as at least one bone in his face broke. "Fuck!" The man yelled just before a sob broke free of him.Matthew didn't want to kill him. It wasn't in his job description, but once his team found the body, they would know he was the one behind it. The man sitting in the chair before him sported several bruises and cuts, two missing fingernails, a gash across his shoulder, and half of his face had been smashed in. It was the same injuries they had l

Liam quickly pulled Juliet into the office, knocking the breath out of her from the sudden jarring pull. She felt like she was crossing into enemy territory as Juliet looked up to see several screens on, and while she wanted to be nosey, now wasn't the time. She spun around to ask him what he needed her to do to help, but the door was closing between them, and she heard the lock click into place as it latched shut. "Are you kidding me?" She asked, spinning quickly to scan the room, knowing there had to be a gun here somewhere. Juliet refused to go down without a fight, and if arming herself was an option, she would take it. Her first instinct was to check under the desk, but she didn't see anything. The smooth wooden drawers barely moved when she yanked on them, but she pulled several times anyway, hoping the lock would budge, but it was no use. There was a loud bang outside the room, and Juliet froze before moving faster, more frantically. Every drawer was locked, and

Juliet stared at the side of Liam's head as he drove, trying to will him to tell her something more, but he kept his mouth shut until Sublime came on, and he started singing. It was like all of the tension from earlier had melted away, and she realized it was because he had gotten the fight he had been anticipating, maybe even craving. The way he had carried himself earlier was more like a soldier and a hardass than she had seen from him before. Now, he was back to himself, and she was stunned to see the two versions so night and day. "You knew." She accused, and he stopped singing. "You knew there was going to be an attack. Oh my God. Why did you just leave me out in the living room while you hid? Was I bait?" His jaw dropped open before he closed in quickly. Liam looked offended that Juliet had even asked, but it seemed like a logical question to her. There had to be a reason why he had hidden away for hours instead of acting the way he normally would have. "I didn't just leav

Juliet wanted to cry as they walked into her new home. It wasn’t a forever home, nor was it the home of her new identity. Liam had told her it was another stronghold. One that no one knew the location of because the agency hadn’t even assigned it to her. Liam had taken it upon himself to select a new place for her to stay, and while it was beautiful, it was empty. Cold. There was nothing on the couch or counters, and she doubted there would be more than one bedroom as it had a similar feel to the house Matthew had been staying in. Juliet’s fingertips ran along the length of the granite countertop as she looked around while Liam cleared the bedrooms and bathroom. At just the right angle, she could see the subtle difference in the top of the television to show a camera there. After Liam returned, she moved from room to room and expertly began to find more. Surely, she hadn’t spotted all of them. Just enough to know they were being watched…. Or that they could be. What concerne

Juliet was surprised that they stayed so long. Was she happy to be in one place? Yes. Was she sick of the canned beans and rice in the pantry? Absolutely. She refused to look because she was pretty positive they had expired a long time ago. Still, she kept her mouth shut because she knew it was better than the MREs. "Morning," Liam said, bursting into the bedroom, and Juliet sighed as she stared at the ceiling in boredom. At least he didn't say it was a good morning. That would be an outright lie. She had been watching the news every morning and every night, but there had been nothing so far. "Hm," Juliet hummed. "Have fun," Liam said, dropping a box onto the bed beside her, and Juliet's eyes shot wide open. The familiar logo and shape made her giddy with excitement. Juliet had grown bored and was getting impatient to the point of anger as she waited to hear news about Matthew. It didn’t help that she had to spend time each day practicing her new signature and re
