Secret Life Of Bees Novels & Stories

Helen said, "Audrey, it is William's idea. But it's not too late to have a baby, right?" William suddenly raised his head. "Audrey, I regret it." "What did you say?" William didn't dare to look me straight in the eye. "I said I regretted it, and now I want a child." I sneered. "I know, you..." That secret was about to be exposed, but the laughter of Helen and Tyshawn stopped me. "That's great, William. You and Audrey should try harder. "It's good that you changed. We're waiting for your good news."

She looked like someone who had been drowning in silence for too long and had finally broken the surface, desperate for air. “I’ve been living with a secret,” she whispered. “For months. It’s… it’s been killing me inside.” Maya’s stomach dropped. She could tell this wasn’t about a bad game or an argument. This was something bigger. Much bigger. “What secret?” Maya asked gently. Amelia sucked in a shaky breath. Her hands twisted in her lap, pulling at the fabric of her training shorts until her knuckles turned white.

As soon as I showered and sat on my bed I passed out face first into my Calculus book. The next day was a blur. I squeaked by the rest of my finals and got the golden ticket to graduate. After school I walked home again but with Jessica on my side. Her and I were going to get ready for Jacksons 18th birthday party. I put the finishing touches on my makeup and listened as Jessica gushed about how Damion looked today, or how he looked at her, how he walked, how he spoke....the list could go on and on. "Are you ok Stephanie?" Jessica asked putting her hand on my arm.

Suddenly my cell phone chimed— ‘COME HOME AND WE’LL TALK. Badum tss! There you have it! My dad texted me! And it's also caps locked!! AAAH!! Will he shave my head?! I was so nervous to walk, with each step of my feet so heavy, my chest was pounding harder. But I was even more frightened when I saw my brother Kevin put the two suitcases into the compartment of Sir's car! What the hell is happening now?! "Hey! What are you doing?!” “You have my regards! Dad is giving you away! I'll continue your Harvest Moon on our PSP, okay? Don't worry about it!"

Her expression clearly showed that she was shocked at that revelation, but the interviewer only smiled as if he didn’t realize what he had done. She released a smile and swept her hair behind her ear, “Yes, you are right. I am the secretary to CEO Tom Holland”, she confirmed and a series of gasps filled the room. “But is that a problem?” she questioned, and the interviewer hesitated before asking her what was on his mind. “You must have heard about the ripped clothes incident that happened yesterday. What is your thought about the carelessness of Shellhouse Mall, which is considered the biggest mall in Chicago?” he questioned further, and the expression on her face turned dark.

We had planned for a sleepover this Friday night so my friends were in my room with me as we stared at the bonded black book in the middle of my bed. "So the bimbo said that inside this creepy book are Quinn's secret?" Tiana spoke, reaching for it eagerly. But I flicked her hand away and hugged the book on my chest. "Are you out of your mind?!" Bailey snorted. "Sounds like you're protecting an undiscovered sacred text from Egypt." "Of course, Quinn's secret is sacred," I quoted as a matter of fact. "I'm telling you. Keep it shut, A," Hilary chimed in, rolling my chair towards the side of the bed. "You'll never know. It might be Khloe's another game that she had set for you."

There won’t be anything serious, nothing serious at all. I trust you, Ansh. I trust you. Making sure not to make any noise, I walked inside the gates of the warehouse. It took a few seconds for my vision to adjust to the low lights around the area. There were no workers, nothing, just silence and lots of clothes, bags, shoes, and appliances. I licked my lips as I read the name on the board near the door. “Adaa enterprises,” it read. I knew my Ansh couldn’t do anything wrong. He left that life for me, he left everything for me. I made no mistake in choosing him.

“I appreciate the concern, but I promise, I haven’t done anything I didn’t want. Badly.” Amy laughed, the sound ringing around us like soft bells. “That’s what I want to hear. Tell me more.” My head shook, and I grinned widely. “I didn’t come out here to talk about my sex life…or yours. How about you tell me how you’re feeling with all this? People know you exist now after however many years you’ve worked to keep your identity a secret. That can’t be easy to process.”

“So, what now?” Sebastian set his cup down, his gaze steady. “Now we talk.” He slid his phone across the counter toward her. Olivia looked down, and her breath caught. “Mystery Man Marries Jilted Bride in a Shocking Twist.” “The Abandoned Wedding That Became New York’s Most Talked-About Love Story.” “Who Is Olivia Bennett’s Secret Husband?”

A year back, he declared that the woman who bore his child would become the Gibson family's queen bee. A swarm of women buzzed in, eyes on the prize. I was cornered, scrambling for cash to save my sick grandma, so I threw my hat in the ring. Somehow, my simple resume was the golden ticket. On the island, I knew I could not match Hannah's stunning looks, Larisse's statuesque frame, or Wendy's blue-blooded charm. I was just biding my time, waiting for my consolation prize. However, then came a full moon night in the garden, where I stumbled upon Ethan, wild-eyed and not himself.
