Romans & histoires Criminal Minds Fanfiction Reid Hides His Intelligence

“And you’re still clinging to enough of it to be useful.” Reid’s jaw worked. “You drugged me.” “You were never supposed to drink that glass,” she said simply. “But you did. And now we’re here.” He took a step forward, fists clenched. “You think I’ll keep your secrets? You think I’ll pretend nothing happened?” She smiled, showing a hint of teeth. “No, Reid. I think you’ll protect your own secrets. Because if those pictures go public, no one will care whether it was a mistake. They’ll only care that you were in bed with someone who isn’t your Mate. And they’ll care that you lied about it.”

Painting over it, nailing it shut and making it ours. Gavin held up a clump of polished river stones like treasure. “Look, Mommy! I’m hiding these in the corner. Don’t tell anyone!” I smiled, a little hollowly. “Your secret’s safe with me, mountain lion.” Then I heard a soft knock against the wooden base below then three distinct, familiar raps. Reid. A moment later, his head appeared through the hatch and he climbed in, boots silent on the floor. He was holding a folded piece of paper in one hand, the edges curled from wear. His other hand rested lightly on the dagger at his hip, like always.

He didn’t like being reminded of his own compulsions. Julian pressed, his voice rough but steady. “You want me to see you. To admit you were the puppet master. You want me to acknowledge your brilliance. Because without that, all this...” he jerked his chin toward the chemicals, the rope, the bushes... “is just a coward hiding in shadows, shooting people in the dark.” The vein in Reid’s temple throbbed. He stood abruptly, pacing like a predator circling a cage. His hand tightened on the chemical jug, then loosened again, like he couldn’t decide if he wanted to pour or prolong.

Reid nodded curtly, his mind already racing with strategies. "I'll summon our best researchers and spies. We'll scour every database, every rumor, every hint." His voice dropped to a menacing whisper. "We'll uncover her secrets, and we'll use them against her." Ariella's expression twisted into a cruel smile. "And once we have her, we'll make her pay for what she's done." Reid's eyes flashed with agreement. "She'll beg for mercy." The silence that followed was oppressive, heavy with unspoken plans and sinister intentions.

Xander smiled, “I am a man that has difficulty trusting others. And for this case… I can see many loopholes. I can sense that the matter of Charles is well fabricated.” Aidan was speechless. He was scared too. The power and wealth of Reid’s were not hidden from anyone. Although Reid’s ground was away from country A, their power was undeniably more than his. He couldn’t fight with Xander Reid. Judging by his resolute gaze, Aidan was certain that Xander wouldn’t stop until he found the truth. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead when he thought about this. If the truth came out, no one could stop him from going to jail. No… How could he let this happen?

Because it wasn’t a warm laugh, or amused, or happy, it sounded frustrated, deeply frustrated. “You are glowing silver,” he said softly. “The healer looked terrified.” A pause. “And you still say you’re fine?” Aurora swallowed painfully. Kael stepped closer again. Too close. “You’ve been hiding something from me.” Silence. Aurora’s fingers trembled slightly. Because he was right. She had been hiding things. Too many things. Kael’s eyes searched hers carefully. And suddenly his expression changed not suspicion, not anger, realization. “You knew this would happen.”

Reynolds looked deathly pale. His voice was barely a thready whisper as he said, "It's not what you think with Alia." I almost laughed out loud. "Not what I think? Reynolds, I saw it with my own eyes. What possible explanation could you have?" He pressed his lips together, as if summoning all his resolve. "I admit, I wasn't in my right mind. She kept tempting me, telling me that we weren't officially marked yet and I didn't have to take responsibility… I just lost control."

"Wait. The state's top scorer? That was the side character?" "Hold on, this plot is not going the way it's supposed to. Am I reading this wrong?" "Oh. Oh, I get it now. The side character figured out Joey could read minds, and she fed her wrong answers on purpose." "I've been calling this girl an idiot this whole time, and she's been playing on a completely different level." The next second, both my phones started ringing at once. One was an admissions office from an Ivy. The other was a recruiter from a second one.

They brought me to the estate's abandoned underground cold storage, where it was dark, freezing, and used specifically for handling enemies. I was thrown onto the cold floor and instantly began shaking from the intense cold. Luca sat in his wheelchair, looking down at me. "You can stop it with the act now, Grazia. I'll let you go if you admit that you intentionally framed Serena and agree to restore the marriage alliance between the two Famiglias." I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes. I simply let out a weak whimper. Luca flew into a rage when I remained silent. He ordered the bodyguards, "Give her a taste of suffering!"
