Novel & Cerita Criminal Minds Secrets And Lies

“I dug deeper than dirt. What I found is rot.” He pushed the folder toward me. I flipped it open, scanning page after page. Fraudulent accounts. Illegal partnerships. Bribery. Affairs swept under rugs. Even whispers of embezzlement. The Madison family wasn’t just dirty—they were drowning in secrets. A slow smirk tugged at my lips. “They’ve built their empire on lies.” Ethan’s gaze was steady. “With this, you could dismantle them overnight.” I closed the folder, my hand resting firmly on it. For the first time in days, the fury within me simmered into a cold calm.

Gilbert clapped his hand, and a child's voice came in. "Mom!" The thug came in with their three-year-old child. Panicked, Gillian explained, "No, listen to me! He raped me! He's the guy who kidnapped me! You have to get him arrested! Arrested!" The thug was tearing up. He looked like a doll covered in cracks and could break at any moment. "What? But you said you loved me. You told me you'd go anywhere with me. Please, come back. We'll be a family, just the three of us. Please."

Yet for a moment, I just linger in the water, letting the cold fingers of dread wrap themselves around my throat, gripping tightly to the point I can hardly breathe. "How do I know you're not messing with me?” I breathe, grasping the cool edge of the poolside, wondering if I should drag myself out of the water so I don’t drown with shock. If anyone were to know if there was a deeper connection between Cian and I, it would be Sinful. He’s Lust, and could sense there was more between Lev and I then I would have liked to divulge, so why wouldn’t he know that Cian and I could be mates? But he is also an immortal, and cunning, and could be lying to me for either his amusement, or for his own gain

I don’t do soft touches or polite requests. I do the kind of nights that start with your panties shoved in my pocket and end with you shaking, dripping, and begging me not to stop even when you can’t take another orgasm. The scholarship student who gets caught with a vibrator still buzzing in an empty lecture hall. The bodyguard assigned to protect the mafia princess who starts using her instead. The stepbrother who finally stops pretending the shared house is big enough for both of them. The surgeon who blackmails his favourite nurse into becoming his private after-hours addiction. The young secretary who learns that working late for her powerful female boss means far more th

He had no corkboard in his apartment, but any of the bare walls would do, so he set to work taping the pages to the wall. He began with the crimes themselves, creating a column for each incident, placing the hard facts and descriptions at the top, with any speculations or inferences drawn from the facts down below. As a cop, he would have included photos of the crime scenes and victims, but for now he stuck to his rule of no pictures, leaving the photos in the folders. He devoted a second section of columns to possible suspects, including a short column with no name at the top for the possible pornography connection, still being investigated by the task force. Thought not yet ruled out, the

] I stumbled, one hand flying to my temple as the thoughts collided all at once. It wasn't the crowd that overwhelmed me. It was the darkness hiding behind polished smiles and thousand-dollar suits. Every room full of strangers became another collection of secrets I never asked to hear. The ugly ones always cut through the loudest. For a second, I was back in interrogation rooms filled with blood-soaked memories that weren't mine, listening to murderers confess to themselves over and over until I could barely tell where their nightmares ended and mine began. The room tilted. Then warmth wrapped around my waist.

When the police entered, a chill ran down everyone’s spine. Even Mindy’s panic was plainly visible. The lead officer flashed his badge at Mindy. “Miss Chase, a report has been filed accusing you of leaking commercial secrets. “You are also suspected of bribing reporters and deliberately inciting defamatory attacks, causing serious harm to others. You’ll need to come with us.” Mindy was about to explain when cold metal cuffs snapped shut around her wrists the very next second. She stared at the officers in disbelief and struggled hard. “You’ve got the wrong person! They’re using fake evidence, and you—law enforcement—are actually believing their lies?

Mom, Dad and Aurelia yelled in jinx as the picture showed up on the screen of the television in daily time news. “Why am I the only one being blamed?" I suddenly questioned. Yes, it was already clear I had lost my fucking mind. There were a lot of things I did in one night. A lot! And all had evidence and yet I couldn't remember doing any of them. “No one wants to hear from me and everyone is sacrificing me. If anything, you need half the blame, Elion Vane Mortier! You slept with me and just because there isn't footage of the sex doesn't mean you didn't do it!”

I stood there, fists clenched, breathing through the rage. "Steady." Marcus appeared at my elbow. "Don't let her see you rattled." "She told me Aiden's been checking on her. Every day." "Probably a lie." "What if it's not?" "Then we expose her tonight and none of it matters." He glanced at his watch. "The VIP lounge. Ten minutes. Everything's set." ... The VIP lounge was on the second floor. Private. Exclusive. Only the most important donors and investors allowed. Marcus had arranged for a private screening. The security footage showing Seraphina rehearsing her collapse. The bank statements. The emails with Dr. Chen. All of it compiled into a fifteen minute presentation that would destroy he

"I want to ask you a question and I expect you to be honest. I've been watching you and your best friend for a while. I have to admit I was shocked when I realized you just steal keys for the sake of it. You don't use them. You just wanna mess with people's lives, huh? Do you know how that affects them. You may think it's just keys but losing a batch of keys can ruin a person's life but you don't care about that, do you?" Liana looked away. She'd always warned Gina that her obsession would cause them trouble. Gina's love for keys was normal in the beginning. She bought and collected them and it was fun. Then one day, Gina had seen a woman holding a very unique and beautiful set of keys. She'
