Every Last Secret Novels & Stories

Just my name. Inside was a USB drive and a note. "I told you I had contingencies. This drive contains every secret your club has ever kept. Every crime. Every deal. Every skeleton in every closet. In seventy-two hours, it uploads automatically to every law enforcement agency in the country. Unless you do what I say. Check your email. —C" My hands shook as I opened my laptop. One new email from Crystal. Sent posthumously. Timed release.

And then, the fire alarm rings. "Run," I scream. But I don't run. I stay. I stay for the end. The walls start to move. The secret room is opening. Liam screams. But it’s not for me. It’s for the truth. I watch him fall to his knees. The screen is showing everything. The funds. The accounts. The ghost. I stand up. "You were right, Liam." "I shouldn't have dug deep." "Because now," I lean in, my voice a whisper.

"So you sold your soul for money." Marcus smiled. "I sold it for power." Oliver quietly leaned closer to Liam. "Keep him talking." "I need a few minutes." Liam gave a small nod. "What are you waiting for, Marcus?" Marcus looked amused. "A confession?" "I already know you're guilty." Marcus laughed again. "No." "You're still missing the biggest secret." Emma frowned. "What secret?" Marcus pointed toward the black folder. "The answer is inside." Emma looked down at the folder. She desperately wanted to open it.

Silence follows. I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. "Let's get you out of here," Lou murmurs, leading me to the car. Later, in the backseat, I stare at my phone, heart hammering as I read the headline from 'The Campus Scoop': ‘Monroe’s Millions Can’t Buy Loyalty: Heiress Dumped for Boyfriend’s Secret Gay Affair.’ Oh. My. God. My grip tightens on the phone. "Fuck!"

The last thing I remembered hearing was, “we got her.” ** |Sean's POV| "She's in the mansion, tied on a chair, in the basement. Two guards are in front of her cell." Jake, one of my men informed. He was standing straight with his hands behind his back. "She killed someone. The sight was gruesome. The man had a dick in his mouth and his face was completed unrecognisable. I'm telling you, boss, this girl's mental." "And we found her outside the club." Travis, another one of my guys added with a nod. I glanced at him before rolling my eyes, "yeah ‘cause that's where I told you you'd find her, idiot."

She had disobeyed him three times this night; going outside without his permission, bringing that damn cat in his house, and coming down to the basement. Madeline hesitantly opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She was far too terrified. Was this really who Matthew was? He hid he fact that he was a direwolf, he hid the fact that he was a cruel torturer who kept men chained up in his basement, what other secrets is he keeping from her? "Answer me." His gaze was menacing. She began scolding herself for coming down here. "You should've just stayed in bed, you idiot. Everything would've been fine."

Nichole gave me an apologetic look even though she was hurt as well. Dumpp!! In the middle of our heated argument, we heard a loud sound which made us shriek extremely. "What the heck is this?" Natasha asked dramatically but her guts shut down when she saw Blake who threw the book on the table. "Read the book and find the details. Don't bother her again." He threw a murderous look to everyone particularly towards Natasha before made his way God knows where. "Rude much." I heard her mutter under her breath before she took the book "The Hidden Secrets" from the table and flipped the first page.

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?

"And with time, you'll realize it, but... it will be too late. And you know why? Because what your husband is hiding, besides being... is too dangerous." Katia entered her room and threw her small bag on the bed. She ran her hands over her face, sighed, and sat on the edge of the bed. Ever since the police inspector had told her that, she couldn't stop thinking about it. What did he mean? What secret was Stefan hiding that the police wanted to catch him for? She put her fingers to her temples and began to circle them to get those silly ideas out of her head. She ruffled her hair, not understanding herself.

Lily: "James, I have to tell you something. I can't keep it a secret anymore." James: "What's wrong, Lily? You're scaring me." Lily: "I know we agreed to keep our feelings hidden, but I can't do it anymore. I have feelings for you, James. Strong feelings." James: "Lily, I've been feeling the same way. I just didn't want to complicate things with Sarah." Lily: "I know, and that's why we have to keep this a secret. But I can't keep pretending that nothing has changed between us."
