Novel & Cerita My Secret Patient

strelling heart. At 8:00 PM, the atmosphere shifted. Kiran was home early. He was sitting at the kitchen table when I brought his tea. He was smiling—a weird, unsettling expression that made the hair on my arms stand up. "Are you really sure my aunt didn't send you here?" he asked, his eyes boring into mine. "Yes," I lied, trying to sound firm. "And if she had sent me, wouldn't she already know your secret? If I were a spy, she’d already know you’re a drug addict."

“I’d like to book a consultation,” I whispered into the dark of the bathroom. “And I need it to be a secret.” The woman on the line didn’t miss a beat. “We can do that. Are you a current patient?” “No. New.” “Name?” I gave it. My own name, the one Alexander shared, and for a second I almost flinched, almost felt him hear me through the walls. But the water was running and the house was asleep and the only person awake in it was me, leaning over a sink I couldn’t see, betraying my husband by trying to fix the thing he didn’t want fixed.

Chapter 1: Watching from the Shadows Zoe's POV What's your dirtiest secret? I don't mean the usual 'I once crushed on my stepdad' or 'I have dirty thoughts about my teacher.' I mean an actual secret. Something so messy, you know you're fucked if it comes out. Well, while you think, let me tell you about mine. I'm Zoe Croft, twenty, single, not a virgin, and my dirty secret is that I masturbate to my stepbrother, Leo Hooke. Not the usual 'he makes my pussy clench and I pleasure myself' shit.

He was merely reluctant to spend money on me. At this time, James walked over. "Miss, everything is packed." As the last suitcase was lifted onto the van, the house I had lived in for five years no longer contained anything belonging to me. My phone rang once again, but this time I didn't answer. A message very quickly popped up. [Lola, did you book that seven-star hotel in Meridianna? Why can't the front desk find our check-in information?] I ignored it. An hour later, my phone began to ring frantically.

Real enough to erase every other sound in the room for one suspended heartbeat. My fingers pressed harder against the fabric of my top. Not here. Not now. Not in front of Sebastian and Callista and Maya and whoever else had decided our table was worth watching. The secret I had carried since the doctor’s room tried to stand up inside me and be known. But the pain did not ask permission, and the kick did not wait for privacy. I held my stomach, and for the first time since the doctor said the word, the secret stopped feeling like something I could keep still.

He said, his tone was demanding and clearly warned me not to disagree. I nodded my head and he instantly released me. I pulled myself up and sat on the bed. "Speak." I said folding and hands on my chest. He took a deep breath.. "As you have already discovered, we are not the russian mafia. We are the government's secret force." He said and took another deep breath.

~~Stephanie Today at school dragged on. No one would listen and all my classes were full of rambunctious students that couldn't get over the attack last night. They were going crazy with questions and some even stared at me with a weird look in their eye. One of my students in the back called me Luna and I shushed them before anyone else could hear it. Or maybe no one heard it because no one was listening. It was one of the royal guards' kids. Iknew it wasn't their fault and people wanted answers but I was not ready yet at all. Especially since in the back of my mind I was still harboring doubts.

She loved him. “Then why do you still look pained?” “Because you’re not the only one who has hidden a secret in this room. When we first met, I didn’t know you that well, and I’ve had years of practice avoiding the subject. It was too painful to keep rehashing to people about why I don’t have children.” She looked down at the floor. She didn’t want to see his face when she exposed her secret. “Scott, I can’t carry a baby to full term.”

I nodded even though he couldn't see me, "I found a guy lying there—" "Wait, wait," he cut me off making me furrow my brows, "how could you have found him? I've gotten rid of him hours ago." There was a minute of silence from both our sides. I was beyond confused. "Sean," he spoke after a few more seconds of silence, "did you see a girl there? Long black hair? Blue eyes? Pale skin?" "Yes. You know her?" I ran a hand through my hair, letting out a groan, "I'm so fucking confused right now."

I remind him, trying my best to get out of going. “Come whenever. I’ll squeeze you in whenever is convenient for the both of you. During lunch or even after school.” My mouth goes dry for a second because I can’t think of any other excuses of why I wouldn’t be able to go. “We’ll be there, doc.” Mack stands to shake his hand, and I know the reason he’s probably being pushy is because Mack likely told him to be or made some donation or something. If I wasn’t freaking out about my secret being found out before I am ready to tell it, I might actually think Mack’s
