“Darling, offer our guest a seat “ Mr. Vaughn’s voice rang out and he stepped out, still cooperately dressed but this time he was in a black suit and white shirt with no tie and the buttons undone to show off his rippled chest.

We went through the rules and it was simple; ‘this secret remains between us even when the contract is broken and whatever you're uncomfortable with, speak up’ I nodded in confimatin and verified the document on a computer with my fingerprint with half parted lips, cause I couldn't breathe. The silence was deafening but I didn't feel uncomfortable. There were no side

"That's the part I can't get past. You didn't tell me." "Because I knew you would react like this" Bella said. "Cold and distant and acting like I betrayed you when all I did was keep one secret to protect the peace between us." "One secret" I repeated. "One secret destroyed everything Bella. Don't you see that. One secret is all it takes." I stood up. I needed to get out of this room. Needed air. Needed space to think without her looking at me with those guilty eyes.

But the antique console table twenty feet down had been disturbed, one corner of the lace runner hanging lower than before, as if someone had caught it while retreating in haste. I stepped out, senses sharp. A trace of scent lingered. Eve's perfume. Or Catherine's. They both wore variations of it now. My stomach tightened. The plan was still rough, timelines flexible, no irreversible steps taken.

Gina said with her mouth full. Selena looked at her with a confused face. "Have you been reading more of those books?" She was referring to the books on Gina's desk that had weird titles like "How to properly unlock the door without the key." , "Speak like a smarty pants!" , "Who are you? I am the ugly world?" , "Books for people who are cops." And other titles. Selena didn't even want to think of how silly the contents were. Who on earth even wrote those books and where did Gina even get them?

Old novels I had carried from apartment to apartment, their covers worn and pages filled with memories. I chose a thick copy of Jane Eyre. The spine was damaged, and no one else had touched it since I arrived. I opened it near the middle, slid the photograph between the pages, and closed the book carefully. Hidden. But close enough for me to find again. I placed the novel on the shelf between two others and stepped back. My secret was now tucked inside a love story. The irony almost made me laugh. That evening, I joined Damien and Victoria in the smaller sitting room.

He was also someone who had gotten hurt by a secret that I knew, by a secret that I told. "Jason stop," Justin said softly. Leave it to him to try and protect me. "You don't know what you're asking her to do." "Yes I do. Why don’t you stay the fuck out of it Justin." I sat straight up in my chair, understanding where everyone was coming from.

"Eli - we have a lot to talk about and we can do it inside. Not out here in the open where all the neighbors can see. Ladies - the guards will take your luggage to the house across the street we have for visitors. The kids can share the playroom downstairs to sleep in." she stated gracefully and turning to go inside with her brothers. I was t

He knows..... William pov Getting home I saw the package Nathaniel was talking about. I opened it and it was a picture of I and Jade on our first date. On top was written: I know your secret. Shit! He knows! Is that why he is intentionally keeping Jade around? To hurt us? Does he know that I was the one who drove the car? I didn't waste anytime, I rushed to my former work place to check the case again. Was he at the scene? If he was why didn't he say anything?

Chaos nodded slowly, “Your secret is safe with us.” Us. “You’re not going to turn me in?” The world seemed to start spinning around me. Greens turned muddy as they blurred together. I think I’m going to be sick. “Kitten, look at me,” Chaos whispered, but I couldn’t look into his eyes. Elliot knew my deepest, darkest secret. He knew all of my secrets. Everything was out in the open, and I felt naked for the first time in my life. I’ve used those secrets as a security blanket, hiding behind them because the truth is ugly.
