A Love Buried By Secrets Novels & Stories

Never once had she imagined burying her instead. Olivia hugged Lily’s favorite teddy bear tightly against her chest while the child’s drawing book rested quietly beside the grave. With shaking hands and swollen red eyes, she picked up the book and slowly flipped through the pages one after another. At first the drawings looked normal, childish scribbles mixed with colorful sketches. Then Olivia noticed the hidden sentences Lily had written carefully across different pages. She slowly pieced the words together. "Maybe if Lily wasn’t with mummy, daddy would love her like he used to before I was born"

“We could have been everything and you decided to be nothing. Why did you make me believe that you were mine? Why did you rip out my heart when I wasn't even going to give you yours? Was I not enough? Isn't my love enough for you? he rebuked him angrily and tearfully, falling to his knees, devastated by all the damage done. Love? Just the two of them... He screamed, he screamed, he hit the ground, feeling less and less pain and when he thought he would be okay that was where his soul hurt the most, “No one knows about our secret, no one will ever know, only you and me, my love. Wow, Richard and Aly had a secret relationship. “I will always love you, I will never stop doing so.” she promised,

At least he could ensure she wasn't truly destroyed in the process. At least he had actually loved her all these years. Handing over his heart inside a shell of manipulation was better than letting her fall into a cold-blooded conspiracy. It was the only sliver of light in a dead-end alley. The only chance he’d had in seven years to get close. --- London’s fog was perfect for burying secrets. That white hyacinth was the biggest, most hopeless secret of her youth. She knew their hearts were aligned, but there was a canyon between them. If either of them crossed that line, it would be total destruction.

Just like what the detective told me before now. I turned in Alex’s arms and buried my face in his chest. He kissed my forehead. We’ll face it together,he said again. But as I lay there listening to his heartbeat, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the story we’d stumbled into was so much darker than forbidden love. Some secrets, once unearthed, destroy everything they touch. And we were only just beginning to dig.

About the words I’d written, the truths I’d hidden, the love I’d buried. My heart pounded so loudly I was sure he could hear it. “Was it real?” he repeated, softer this time, but heavier. And I couldn’t breathe.

But not enough to stop. After the burial, our family. Wealthy, broken, and trying to hold it together retreated to the private bar downtown. The kind of place that didn’t need signs outside. Entry was biometric. You needed more than a last name. You needed legacy. The rain hadn’t let up since the burial. My shoes were wet. My jacket was soaked. But I didn’t care. I was just searching for him.

And if this house, this man was going to keep burying its secrets, she’d dig them out one by one. Whether Lucian liked it or not.

"It's here. Buried in a stasis capsule. The coordinates are embedded in the metadata of this file." She looked back at the camera, her love so fierce it transcended time and screen. "This is the last secret, my love. The true final move. You must decide. You can unearth it, give it to the authorities for controlled study—there is beneficial medical data woven into that poison, data that could save lives. Or you can pour concrete over it. Bury it forever. The choice is yours. You are no longer the keeper of a secret. You are the arbiter of a legacy." The video ended.

"Because of that phone call, I completely lost Sienna." "No." Elliot looked at him, his eyes bottomless. "From the moment you made her your secret girlfriend, you had already completely lost her." My heart raced. So, Elliot knew everything. "She’s always been hiding in the corner since she was little. I still regret it a bit now. I shouldn’t have let you stop and wait for her back then." A trace of confusion flashed in Nathan's eyes, and then he quickly turned his head. "Back then..." Elliot didn’t say anything more, but his silence spoke volumes.

There was an underlying message. "What do you mean?" he asked. I looked. "You know a couple of secrets?" I stared and got lost in my mind for a moment. Did I know secrets? Hell yeah I did. I knew who Amy and Mya's mother was. I knew the truth about baby Aaron's paternity test. And I knew about Chad and Amy's secret romance. So yeah...I knew some secrets. I looked over at Justin. "Did you know who Chad's first girlfriend was?" He looked at me for a moment, and then looked away.
