Vivian prepared two plates of rice for her husband and son without commenting. "You probably didn't see what happened," Estefan said, looking at his father, Evander. "That girl gave me a drink so many times while we were talking... How could there be that kind of drink in a hotel restaurant." Vivian put a piece of fried fish on each plate and looked at her husband. "You mustn't forget that our son is a teacher at school," Vivian reminded him. "True, but at home he's no longer a teacher." Evander tried to joke, but Estefan didn't find his father's words funny at all.

I walked closer to him until I stood right in front of him. “Then we go deeper too,” I said firmly. “We unlock everything. Every archive. Every secret. Every file my father or your father ever hid. We find out who is behind this. We find out what they really want. And we end it just like we ended Julian’s little show tonight.” He reached out and gripped my shoulders his hands strong and grounding. “You realize what you are asking? If we dig into the deepest secrets of this family we might find things we don’t want to know. Things that change everything. Things that could break us.”

he smirked and kept the knife an inch distance between her neck. “Please don’t kill me,” Bianca begged. “We won’t. Tell me the password,” Tiffany asked her one last time. One last time. “I won’t,” Bianca daringly said and closed her eyes, accepting her death is approaching her. Wes pressed the knife on her neck, letting a drop of blood fall on the floor. “I will tell the password. Leave her,” Caleb came out of the hiding place. He knows he and his sisters will go to jail if the secret is revealed. There’s also someone else involved in it with Lowe's family. But he’s ready to tell it to Bianca.

Was he that afraid of her finding out I was his wife? If he’d just looked for one more second, he would’ve known he wasn’t signing away a shipment of goods. But his eyes were already stolen by the girl in the doorway. Our marriage was a secret. Besides our parents, no one knew. I fell for him in college, chased him relentlessly for four years, and got nowhere. For three years after graduation, I still couldn’t let him go. Then, one day, I found him ambushed by a rival family, bleeding out in an alley and barely alive. I saved him.

“Eva… she’s dead.” The whole family rushed anxiously to the police station, praying that it was all a mistake. Beneath the white cloth, a lock of my blonde hair peeked out. David’s hands trembled as he pulled the sheet back from my body. My decayed corpse made their hearts sink. “Eva, don’t scare me. It’s all Mom’s fault. Please wake up…” In the freezing morgue, my parents clung to each other, sobbing in agony.

“I heard the rumor. I don’t want to ask if you’re not comfortable telling me just yet, but I need you to be very careful. These palace halls are more dangerous than they seem. Trust me, I’ve been there.” Before Catherine could reply, someone knocked on the front door. Catherine stood up to answer it. “For you, Miss Catherine,” the person said, pressing an envelope into her hands. She frowned. No one ever wrote to her except her mother’s friend in the market, and this wasn’t her handwriting. Elizabeth watched, concerned as Catherine opened the seal. What she read made her heart stop. There, in harsh black ink, was a single line: “I know about your secret.”

"My father. I saw my father... with another family. A woman I don't know. Children, I don't know. Lisa, I think my father has been keeping secrets. Big secrets." Lisa's eyes widened. "That is impossible. Your father loved your mother. Everyone knew it." "But did he love her first?" I asked, the pieces slowly coming together in my mind. "Or was there someone before her? Someone he could not let go of?" I thought about my mother's letter. The way she had written about secrets, about truths I had needed to discover on my own. Had she known? Had she known about this other family? "What does this mean?" Lisa whispered.

They held so much emotion that I leaned down to kiss his forehead. “I always thought my mother got sick and died. When I got back from Varsity, Sean’s father sat me down and let me know how brutally my father had killed his wife.” I could not help the gasp, the horror that immediately rained on me. “She loved what she did, she poured everything she had in the family foundation only to find out two years after taking over that my father was using it to launder money and traffic women and children.” I went pale as I stared in horror, cold suddenly.

Kelley stood up from his seat and Charles shook his head sadly and smiled. “Sit down, Kelley. I’m not done yet.” Kelley stopped but he didn’t sit down, wouldn’t give Charles the satisfaction of obeying him. Charles sighed and took a sip from his glass of wine before continuing. “If you don’t back off from this I’ll expose your mother’s biggest secret.” Laura’s eyes widened and her head snapped up towards Charles. “Charles!
