“I can’t keep going around and around in circles with you. I have known you long enough to know when you are hiding something.” I was seriously lucky that Kade was my best friend. No other alpha would tolerate the level of disrespect that I was showing him right now. Kade sighed. “Fine. But this stays between us. I mean it. I don’t want you blabbing to Jenna or anyone else.” “She’s my mate, Kade. I promised her that I wouldn’t keep any secrets from her.” “Then we are done here.” “No, we aren’t. Tell me what is going on.”

They were going to put Karen's version of events out into the world and let her profit from destroying my life. I opened the manuscript and started reading.

The table of contents showed chapters titled "First Kiss," "Falling for a Married Man," "When She Found Out," "The Trial," and "Finding Myself After Scandal."

The secretarial desk was empty, and all was quiet, save for the soft humming of the desktop computer. Weird… the receptionist told me that Mr. Silverman was waiting for me up here, Rebecca thought. Perhaps he’s waiting for me in his office? She walked cautiously to the massive wood door and knocked. “Hello? Mr. Silverman? It’s Rebecca Grey from TNN. Can I come in?” There was no answer, and her imagination began to run wild. Did the murderer make his way up here and take the lives of both Mr. Silverman and his secretary? Were they tied up, being held as hostages behind the door?

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.

Bianca asked, her voice trembling. "I don't know, Mother," Kyra said. "But we need to do something to protect Veronica and her daughter." Bianca nodded in agreement. She knew that if the news of the secret child got out, it could cause chaos in the country ,as it was a taboo for the crowned Prince to have a child out of wedlock.

There was no way she was going to tell Carol she had overslept as a result of staying up all night trying to finish up an article. Specifically, because Carol disliked excuses. “Excuses won't do the job,” she'd always say. “I'm sorry,” Emily finally spoke reverently after Carol gave her a sideways glance. Carol ignored Emily and pulled out a file with a picture on it, dumping it in front of her, “Rex Hale. Billionaire tech mogul. I need an interview from him.” Huh? Emily frowned slightly as she flipped through the pages. Clearly, this wasn't what she had expected.

They read aloud by the fireplace: fairy tales, poetry, the illustrated encyclopedia Mara had claimed as her favorite. One snowy evening in December, after the children were asleep, Veronica found Ethan in his study staring at his laptop screen. The light cast blue shadows across his face. “What is it?” she asked. He turned the screen toward her. An email from an unfamiliar address. Subject line: *For Your Consideration.* The message was brief. *Attached is an unpublished manuscript excerpt. Thought you might find it interesting. Best wishes.* The attachment was a P*F titled “The Cost of Secrets – Chapter One.”

Was the secret hidden in the words? Kiran quickly opened the first book he read yesterday. It was no. 7 of the first edition, and it was the one Margaret gave him. Everything was the same when he read up until page 7, but when he flipped to page 17, he was shocked to find out that the seventh word in the seventh line was the word ‘nine’, whereas the other edition and Yvonne’s edition had the word ‘sky’. Kiran seemed to have found the secret combination. He quickly looked at Mr. Simmon’s poisoned book, and according to his calculations, he flipped to page 557. The seventh line had the word ‘steal’ in it, but the other two books had the word ‘smile’.

Because the next secret was not about enemies. It was about family. End of Chapter Thirty-Two

I would take some time to sit down and go through everything another day. "Finally." Zavier yelled. I looked over to him moving back and the sound of clicking. I watched as a spot in the wall pushed out what looked to be a secret department. As I made my way over a few Gods had the same idea. Azeki and Sasha rushed over to the book making me pause. I could've swore I was the next high king once I got married. I watched as Sasha just looked at it but what had me also rushing over was when Azeki actually grabbed it. I snatched it out his hands right as he got to the third page.
