Behind Closed Doors Book Summary Novels & Stories

It disappeared and the gates open. “She, does he means Ana or the girl in black?” Van thought. Van and Cara are the first to enter the gates. Kirsten and the rest hesitated, yet no one wants to be left out here with the metal face so they follow with their eyes closed. Van and the rest then emerge into a vast chamber or a void perhaps for there is no floors, walls or ceilings here. There are only doors here, lots and lots of doors floating around like hooded ghosts. Van approaches the nearest one. The door must be more than eight feet tall for it towers above Van’s head. Carved around the decorated knocker is an inscription:

Straightening up, I stretched out my cramped muscles before turning towards the door. Seeing that the door is closed, I lower my arms to my side and take a tentative step toward it. Granny Maeve had left the door open earlier when we arrived. Why would they suddenly close the door now? ‘Echo… I know that a lot of meeting rooms are set up so as to be able to be locked during the meeting to prevent someone from barging in unexpectedly. But why is it locked right now, and who locked it?’ Tala’s cautious voice played through my mind several times before I understood what she meant. Taking a deep breath, I prepared myself to dash to the door, unlock it, and get out of this house as quickly as I c

Stopping her pacing, Althea turns to us, “Come with me, I want to show you something. It’s time.” There was still so much I wanted to ask and craved to know. Tawny and I followed her as she led us to the back of the room and pulled at a book from a bookcase that covered the entirety of the wall. The book fell back into its place, a loud creek and groan came from the bookcase and a puff of air sounded as the bookcase opened and revealed a hidden door. “That’s some neat shit,” Tawny whispered up at me. And I had to agree, it was pretty cool. I would never have known the hidden doorway existed, even if I was looking for it.

As soon as they turned and left the room, the book closes back by itself, and the book cover reads; 'THE BOOK OF SHADOWS' and then the book disappears. . . .++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hope you guys enjoyed this episode.

He showed no anger, even though he had just lost five hundred million Euros. “Let them believe they have won,” the man said softly. “Mavric Thorne and Liora Valerius have just unlocked a gate they will never be able to close again. Welcome to the real game, children.” The chapter closed with a view of the armoured truck vanishing into the dark depths of the Norfolk woodlands leaving behind a ruined medical clinic, and a massive secret that was now fully rising into the light. END OF CHAPTER 198.

Not a breach, but still. Camera 8 – Back Hallway: we fast-forward until the screen flickers. Matt leans in again. “There. Stop.” I pause. Rewind. There it is - the wall slides open. A hidden door. A secret passage we never knew existed. At first, it’s just Sophia. Slipping in and out with her stuff, before her house arrest. This was probably around the time she was still working with my father and Kitty Sun. Then… weeks of silence. I almost skip forward when the door swings open again. But this time, it’s not Sophia. A flood of men burst through - unmistakably Bratva.

*** Two hours later, I'd tried forty-three keys. Forty-three failures. My back ached. My feet were swollen. I should have given up, gone back to bed, waited for Calloway to get home and help. But I was so close. I could feel it. Key forty-four slid into the lock. Turned. Clicked. "Oh my God," Margaret breathed. "It worked." I pushed the door open slowly. It creaked—years of disuse making the hinges protest. The room beyond was small. Maybe eight feet by eight feet. No windows. Just walls and—

He says after a beat “The doors close on their own but can be easily opened from inside. I was told the iteneriry is easy to locate as well.” The doors close on their own? What is this, an RPG dungeon? I nod with effort, “Thanks for the warning.” And with that, I turn my back at the doors and take in the illuminated view in front of me. Rows upon rows of bookshelves greet me, as high as the ceiling. From where I stand, I spot a rough stone staircase at one side of the basement and when I go closer, more stairs fill my vision, swallowed by darkness as the go deeper into the ground. Somewhere behind me, metallic doors clang shut.

After a few moments, the door clicked and unlocked. “Get inside, and don’t ever play hero again.” he literally pushed me inside. “Fine, the magic door. You can figure that out.” He hurriedly went out and locked the door behind me. I was in the old study, with tall bookshelves filled with hardbound books. I went through it, finding the magic door, like he said. I looked down. It usually had scrapes on the floor or a dent on the carpet. And I was right. I pulled all the books until I found resistance. I pushed it back, and it clicked. The shelf moved, and I entered to see faces staring at me incredulously as if I had just gone insane.

The walls transitioned from marble to reinforced steel, the temperature dropping slightly with every step. Finally, they reached a vault door—thick and old-world, like a relic from a safer time. The man turned to face them. “You understand this ledger is off-grid. You will not be monitored. Once the door closes, you will be sealed inside until the session ends.” “Understood,” Sophia said. The door opened with a hydraulic hiss. Cold air and silence waited inside. Once they stepped through, it closed behind them with a finality that felt absolute. ---
