Secretly Yours Tessa Bailey Novels & Stories

Jalen’s POV “Jalen, you’ve been booked for a private session,” the receptionist said as I was slipping my phone into my locker. “Client paid in advance and requested you by name.” I paused. That alone was unusual. “Who is it?” I asked. There was a brief pause on the line, “Mr. Kristofer Hayes.” For a second, my body reacted before my mind caught up. Heat, confusion, something like irritation. I told myself it must be someone else's name. I told myself a lot of things that morning.

’ She thought in her mind, but still, Tessa couldn't shake the feeling of unease settling in her chest. Unknown to her, one person had heard everything. Her moans. Her whimpers. Even the faint sounds that carried through a phone that had been secretly spied on. And that person was none other than Tyler…… ************** Tessa left the office as soon as she was done with her work. She heard over to the hospital for her appointment with the doctor. She met with the doctor and informed him about her new determination. “ I want to recollect my memories doctor.” She said.

Perhaps it was how carefully he watched me, as though he could see the thoughts I worked so hard to conceal. I had almost reached the building’s exit when my phone vibrated. An email from Mr. Hart appeared on the screen. Subject: Hale International Account Mr. Hale was impressed by your contribution during today’s presentation. At his request, you will be joining the Hale International team effective immediately. Further details will be discussed tomorrow morning. I read the message twice. I had spent the past month trying to remain invisible, but after one meeting, Ethan Hale had noticed me. And something told me that wouldn’t be the last time.

Learn all his my dirty secrets before he takes me down or whatever his plan is. He had kneeled beside me, swiveling my chair until I was facing him. His hands rested on my thighs, his thumbs caressing them softly as he knelt between my parted legs. My breath hitched, I could feel myself getting excited. Scar wouldn’t shut the fuck up either, begging me to claim him. He stared into my eyes, his face was soft compared to his usual sternness. “You can tell me, Tara. You know that I will always keep your secrets,” he whispered, his chocolate scent relaxing me.

The pain that spiked up my ankles with every steo was nothing compared to the heat of Vanessa's eyes right behind me. Even when we got into the house and settled down, her gaze hadn't once shifted. “So…” Rebecca pulled out three shot glasses and poured a generous amount of tequila. “...you said you have an update on a new chick?” “Yeah” I unlocked my phone and slid it to her while she did the same for the alcohol. “Tessa Lang. Got access to one of Brian's computers and tracked down several emails to her. Searched her up, and… there.”

Her voice croaked, “All to selfishly gain more power. I should have known you would never do as you said Thane, but maybe my hunger after power blinded my eyes.” “Bailey, I was never going to rule alongside the elders—one way or the other, I would have killed them after I got my crown,” Thane admitted, and I knew that was the truth; we all knew that. Bailey shut her eyes, deciding to ignore us all. “Bailey, if you want them dead, then you have to give us more details.” “I don’t have to do a thing; you would discover it all on your own,” she says. She was hiding something; I knew it; we all knew it, but she wasn’t going to reveal what she hid. Thane didn’t push her either.

Glancing at Aaron and the team of shareholders, he said, “I thought you were just trying to pick a fight. I swear, I didn’t know the design was yours and I’m willing to release a statement to explain this to the public.” Aaron arched an eyebrow. “Don’t be so quick to surrender, David. I called you here so that you can tell us who sold you the company's secrets. Is it her?” Aaron pointed at Tessa who was seated next to him and David frowned, shaking his head. “I have never seen that woman before in my life,” David responded. “Oh, but my assistant said Tessa Hilton sold you our trade secrets and this woman next to me is Tessa Hilton," Aaron said nonchalantly as if he was just talking about the

She was even close to falling off from the staircase were it not for Gideon but she blamed her heels that she got off get feet and kept walking to her parents room. "Where the hell is he?" She asked angrily fuming with rage. "Good evening too Tessa, calm down what's wrong?" Bailey asked calmly. Tessa was too angry to explain why she was angrily looking for her father after spending the entire day out camping they though maybe she was going to come back wearing a smile. "Apparently Blake told her something about the hush money and a shop?" Gideon said. A dreaded look on Bailey's face confirmed the rumours were true and Blake was not lying after all.

I demand to know, feeling uneasy with what they’re cooking up. “You need someone to remind you how great sex can be but not someone you get attached to,” Tess explains, locking her sights on a target. “That guy would be perfect.” “No!” I protest. “Why not? He’s gorgeous” Bailey says, swiping her tongue across her top lip and eyeing off her potential victim.

Tessa stared at it for a long time. “You tried to kill him for Roman,” she whispered to the photo, voice barely audible. “And now he might be coming back for all of us.” She scoffed. Her hand drifted to her belly, fingers tracing slow circles. “And your grandmother thinks she’s protecting your daddy by hiding the past,” she murmured to the baby. “But secrets like this… they don’t stay buried.” Guilt twisted in her chest—sharp and, familiar. She was doing the same thing. Hiding Grayson. Hiding the night she’d let him touch her, let him inside her, while Roman waited at home.
