He explains. “But instead, you made me the CEO because your wife needed content for the book she was writing.” I say, my voice laced with annoyance. “You should read it, it’s called The Deadly Secrets Of The CEO.” He says and my mind goes to the night that we dumped Kate’s body. Jimmy was incredibly drunk and when we was taking him to our building, he was muttering a bunch gibberish in his sleep. But he also said something. Something that didn’t go unnoticed.

His past and original self before the book opens is just one of the seven secrets that he is hiding. Gentle, sophisticated, smart, and of good nature. That is his ace and just one of his games. Takes advantage of the world that is being re-written and falls into the wants of the few that he is also playing with and unknown by the game that long ago had already begun. His thirst for the forbidden science never leaves him, as it is the second secret that he is holding within the new world and the book within the book that they are entrapped from deep within.

I ask when I saw Black putting his hand at Keiko's back. "Huh? Of course not! Why did you ask?" he awkwardly laughs as he said that. I raised a brow but said nothing. I am becoming more suspicious about all the people who will and are about to approach me. Secrets. Some secrets are for the better, some are for the worst. I don't want to experience such. Neither for the better nor the worst. It's still a secret that can hurt you like hell. It's like living in a hell full of agony and hatred. That was like it.

Her aunt wasn’t just resting there; she was a target. Leila still couldn't believe it. The plot was nuttier than anyone had imagined—a centuries-old cult, secret society, AI virus, all the usual suspects when you’re trying to topple European governments in one night. Right? Unless Leila, Tom, Linda, and other seemingly normal people had collective hallucinations. And poor beautiful Christina? She was in the middle of it, naturally. With her tangled connections and old-world knowledge, and that old romantic story the Weinrichs still cant get enough of. The hospital didn’t feel safe anymore. Nothing did.

I plop myself back down on the couch, take a big drink of my Coor's light, and channel flick until I find a good comedy to watch, something that will put all thoughts out of my head and just help me laugh. I found myself drifting back to Caleb. I think I may need to go back to the coffee shop again soon, just to see him.

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.

She held the journal tightly in her lap, its worn cover whispering of untold mysteries and forgotten truths. The room was silent, save for the gentle ticking of the old grandfather clock that had stood in the corner of the room for generations. Her thoughts swirled with Eleanor’s cryptic warnings, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that they were stepping into something far beyond what they had ever imagined.

"Am I? Ask him about Rachel Summers. Or Jennifer Park. Or the assistant he paid off five years ago after she got pregnant and had an abortion." My stomach turned. "He's not the noble man you think he is. He's just better at hiding his damage than I am." Aiden settled back into his pillows. "But I guess you already knew that. You fell for a man who cheats. Now you're surprised he cheated with you." Security appeared in the doorway. Two large men with hands on their belts. "Ma'am, we need you to come with us," one said. I looked at Aiden one last time. "I'll prove what you're doing."

I waste more time than I intended to at the bus stop which makes me arrive late at work. I walk briskly to my office, waving at everyone while sweating like I just finished a marathon. I don't know how it happens but I know that my bag falls off my shoulder and before I can catch it the strips are out of the back. My heart bangs in my chest, my eyes flare, I look around, relief washes over me like balm when I don't see anyone, Except Betty standing opposite me. That shouldn't be a problem, I can beg her to keep my secret but how much can I trust her?

It came in the form of a mysterious figure, someone from our past whose intentions remained shrouded in secrecy. One evening, as I returned home from a charity event, a note awaited me on the doorstep. It was written in elegant calligraphy, the words sending a chill down my spine. It read: "Dear Ava, I know your secrets. I know the truth that you've buried deep within your heart. If you want to protect the ones you love, meet me at the place where it all began." The mention of secrets and the insinuation that my loved ones were at risk sent a surge of fear through my veins. I immediately contacted Adrian and urged him to meet me at the designated location.
