“So why is this odd. Maybe he thought a clean-up was better than a break-in.” “Morgan doesn’t do clean up,” Nolan said, his tone turning dark. “He didn’t bother to clean up or prevent the police involvement when he killed my family.” “Oh,” Violet breathed, unable to believe she had forgotten that like her, Nolan had lost his mom. But his family? “Your family?” He nodded, not meeting her eyes. “Yeah, my parents and my little sister. I was lucky that I was spending the night with friends.” Violet’s hands flew up to her mouth, horrified. “Oh, God. I am so sorry. I-”

It was as if cold water was suddenly poured on me. Torture? Who would do something like that to her? And why? Did it have anything to do with her being the leader of their secret organization back then? Does dad know this? Why did they pretend to have died in the accident if that wasn't what really happened? Until we got back to Hector's office, I was still quiet, even him. I was even more confused by what was happening around me. Even though I try to understand what I know over and over again, I feel that a large part is still missing from the story. As if someone is trying to fabricate everything. As if someone had calculated everything just what I could figure out.

Michael said, stepping forward. Isabelle swallowed hard, reaching out for the chest’s lid. It creaked as she lifted it, revealing its contents—a stack of old documents, a thick leather-bound book, and a small metal box. Her breath caught. This was it. A Family’s Secret Isabelle carefully picked up the leather-bound book and flipped through its pages. It was filled with handwriting—her mother’s. But it wasn’t just a journal. It was a record. Of names. Of events. Of secrets.

There was an underlying message. "What do you mean?" he asked. I looked. "You know a couple of secrets?" I stared and got lost in my mind for a moment. Did I know secrets? Hell yeah I did. I knew who Amy and Mya's mother was. I knew the truth about baby Aaron's paternity test. And I knew about Chad and Amy's secret romance. So yeah...I knew some secrets. I looked over at Justin. "Did you know who Chad's first girlfriend was?" He looked at me for a moment, and then looked away.

Both of them are sick and tired of secrets. The mental emacs were able to handle just about anything when it came to a case. Having to deal with his own family was something that he was learning to do all over again. And the moment that he was about ready to completely let his father and mother back into his life now that his brother was no longer there and in his face. He had found out a family secret that rocked his entire foundation. He had an older sister that his brother accidentally murdered when Max was probably less than one. His parents had never actually talked about her, and now that Michael was in jail, they felt the need that they could actually speak and show pictures of her ag

Before long, they had been in the main room where all her family had waited for them. Anna cleared her throat to begin the introduction. "So this is Dave's parents, William and Adaline." She motioned her hand to William and Adaline to introduce them to her family. Then it shifted to the opposite. "And they are my family. My dad, Hugh; my mother, Lane; my beautiful sister, Sidney; and her boyfriend, or still crush, Eliot." She pointed at them one by one. Sidney glared at her, but she only shrugged her shoulders and pretended she saw nothing.

I didn't know. It seemed like there was something he was hiding from not just me but the whole of his family, I wanted to uncover it but I didn't how or where to start from. There was a mystery behind Cullen and I needed to uncover what it was. What exactly could be the Mystery? and how would he react to me finding out?

I stare at her, then I stand, then sit again because my legs feel unreliable. This is absurd. Actually absurd. "My father is David Hale?" "Yes." The room spins briefly, not because of who he is, but because of what it means. Everything suddenly becomes bigger. The lies, the secrecy, the reasons. All of it. A powerful law enforcement family, a powerful old-money family, an affair, and a hidden child. Twenty-three years of silence. I look at Eleanor. "You didn't want him finding out." That gets a tiny but real reaction from her. "Correct."

Not at the headlines, but at the fact that they were distracting from the real crime. “Rachel, you married into a dynasty. You need to behave accordingly, as cold as that sounds. You would be surprised to know the lengths families go to for the sake of ‘honor.’ Even families that aren't famous have skeletons in their closets. You can't go airing yours out in public. Every home has its secrets; yours just happen to be worth billions.” He sighed heavily, dragging a hand down his face as if even he was exhausted by the weight of it all.
