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

I murmur, "just how long before that leash snaps." The secretary doesn't sit. He never does. He stands at the corner of my desk, sharp suit, sharper tongue, and just the faintest hesitation this time. That catches my attention more than anything. "But," he begins, adjusting his cufflinks, "since a few days... things seem to be spiraling. Out of hand, even." I narrow my eyes, swirling the last of my whiskey. "Speak plainly." He breathes in, then says flatly, "Caisen Valentine's secret penthouse was burned down."

"What's the secret you are hiding?" Marcus looked overwhelmed by their anger, his shoulders quaking. He parted his lips once more, shaping words, but uncertainty restrained him. Cecilia's voice sounded sharp like a whip. "Talk, Marcus," she ordered. "What is the secret you share with Vivian that led you to betray me in this manner?" The pressure in the room was unbearable, with the quiet lasting as if it were timeless. Marcus's eyes darted between Cecilia and Ethan, his anxiety was clear to see.

Everyone else was where they were supposed to be, but I wasn’t about to waste another second playing fair. I walked quickly, purposefully, until I reached Seb’s locker. I glanced left, then right. Empty hall. Perfect. I’d already managed to get his passcode earlier this week, people underestimate how easy it is to watch someone when they’re not paying attention. He thought he was clever, but I was smarter. I typed the numbers in. The lock clicked open. Inside, a pile of books and random junk. But one thing caught my eye immediately: a small black box shoved into the corner. There was a sloppy label on the top in Seb’s handwriting: Secret.

When I saw Garrett's name and photo on the screen, I could not help but feel a wave of panic wash over me. In my nervousness, my body clenched for a moment, which made Leonard gasp despite himself. "You're very tense, Ms. Clarke." Leonard looked at me with a half-smile, but I was terrified. After all, my husband was video calling me while I had another man inside me. I could not let Garrett find out. I tried to grab the phone from Leonard's hand, but he seemed to read my mind and pressed the answer button just before I could reach it.

My heart was still racing. I opened my notebook, the one hidden beneath my pillow and flipped to a fresh page. At the top, I wrote in capital letters: The Second Secret. Then, beneath it: Vanessa and Kyle are working together. Fraud through MorganTech. Secret accounts. Adrian’s money involved. My handwriting looked almost foreign to me, as if someone else had written it. My pulse refused to slow down. I transferred the photos from my phone to my laptop and encrypted them under a hidden folder labeled “Recipes.” It was almost poetic. No one ever looked there.

That being invisible is worse than being hated. Because at least hatred means they see you. My hand trembled as I wrote the next line. If I’m not careful, I’ll break. And I don’t know if Cole would catch me if I do. The silence of my room pressed heavy around me. I closed the journal, shoving it under my pillow like a secret I wasn’t brave enough to speak aloud. For now, it was safe. Hidden. But some secrets don’t stay hidden forever.

He skidded to a stop, breath sharp, eyes flashing as he looked up at me. I straightened slowly. Let the silence stretch. A smile pulled at my mouth slow, deliberate, edged with promise. “Not so fast, brother,” I said. “We’re not finished.” This right here was the moment I had been waiting for. And one of us wasn’t walking away. **** AUTHOR’S NOTE Thank you so much for reading this chapter 🤍 Things are getting darker, more intense, and a lot of secrets are finally coming to light. This chapter marks a turning point, and the consequences from here on won’t be small.

"That's the part I can't get past. You didn't tell me." "Because I knew you would react like this" Bella said. "Cold and distant and acting like I betrayed you when all I did was keep one secret to protect the peace between us." "One secret" I repeated. "One secret destroyed everything Bella. Don't you see that. One secret is all it takes." I stood up. I needed to get out of this room. Needed air. Needed space to think without her looking at me with those guilty eyes.
