Secrets Of The Southern Belle นิยาย & เรื่องราว

--- DELILAH I wasn't snooping around, I just wanted to help clean, since that's the least I can do for now. Sienna's study was on my list but when I walked in, I saw her laptop open on the desk. The screensaver was off, and there was a folder open. A folder labeled: BEAUMONT, C - GILDED CAGE I should have closed the laptop and pretended I never saw it instead I clicked and I saw photos of Cassy on a bed, wearing an obscene black dress that barely covered her. The collar around her neck. Her hair is down and her eyes...

“I am. I’m focusing on how you’re pretending to ignore the fact that you now need a date for this thing. So what’s the plan? Taking Leona?” “No.” Finley whistled softly. “Oof. That didn’t take a second.” “I don’t need to take anyone.” “You do,” he said lightly. “It’s part of the optics. You know how your mother is …she’ll make a headline out of who you breathe near. You show up alone, and it becomes a scandal. You show up with Leona, she starts planning your wedding.” I shot him another glare. “Alright, alright,” he said quickly, hands raised in surrender. “No, Leona. Got it.” Then he leaned back in his chair with a grin. “So what about Celeste, your secretary?”

She already knew about the drama, but pretended not to know so she could hear the real story behind the viral incident. “My friend Cecile is engaged to a man who, unbeknownst to her, has been cheating with Bella,” Robert said, causing Moira to blink in disbelief. Exactly as Rhea had said, though perhaps with a different version. “The fact is that Bella deliberately approached her fiancé, but when she met Jude—who was obviously far superior to that man—she turned away and discarded him like trash.”

I kept talking, filling the silence with stupid questions about the art on the walls, the music, anything to hold his focus. “You’re a curious young woman, Belle,” he said, his eyes finally locking on mine. They were like looking into a deep, frozen lake. “I just find powerful people fascinating,” I lied smoothly. “Do you?” he asked. “Or do you find their secrets fascinating?” The music seemed to fade. My smile felt glued on. “I-I don’t know what you mean.” “I think you do,” he said, pulling me a little closer. His voice dropped to a whisper only I could hear. “I know your face. From a popular fashion magazine.”

It felt surreal to glide among them, present not as the girl who had been publicly humiliated on social media, but as a vision of poise and resilience, transformed into someone enchanting and enigmatic. "Belle, that was quite dramatic," Selena remarked softly beside me, her voice barely cutting through the murmurs. She was a striking figure in her floor-length gown that shimmered like moonlight, her dark hair sleekly pulled back into a low ponytail that exuded an air of confidence that screamed, Don’t mess with us. "Isn’t everything that leads to this point?” I replied, my tone sharp and cold, the bitterness simmering just below the surface. "Did you catch Callie's expression when we walked

"What are you talking about—" "I see the way everybody looks at you, and I know you enjoy the attention and everything. You have a reputation, Alex, and I'm sure you know that. I know I shouldn't be asking you this, I probably don't matter, after all I am nothing more than a property—" Heather paused to sniffle back tears. Her body was trembling, her words felt deeper than anything she's ever said before. "Those ladies are wealthy.... they're better...looking than I am. I can't help you in anyway, I just want to know how much time I have before you leave me for one of them—"

There are many lady guards on the private plane. Sharyana felt security being with Belle. Belle has many body guard, and seeing them she felt safe beside Belle. Sharyana and Belle, chit chatted on the plane. It will be afternoon when they reach South Ville. Her granny already contact someone to fetch them at the airport. They also have a Manor in South Ville. But there Manor is like in North Vale it is hidden and a little bit far away from Lance Mansion. Bella didn't like to stay on their manor in North Ville, she preferred to book a hotel, it's more convenient and not far from the Min Mansion.

Bonnie sobbed regretfully. “You have to stop crying and talk to me, Bonnie,” Georgia said. “You remember that you said we would keep each other’s secret?” Bonnie asked Georgia. “Yes, I did, and you know I always keep to my words,” Georgia said and took Bonnie’s hands in hers. “You are like a baby sister to me, Bonnie. I will always be here for you, more than anyone else in your life, so you can trust me, as long as you keep the secret of that loan to yourself,” Georgia said coyly.

“You mean Alexander Reed was in your office today, the same man who tossed you out of his pack?” “Crazy how karma knocks on your door, and now the motherfucker wants my help,” Scott scoffed pouring his drink in one go, “Thank you for diverting us, only the goddess knows what might have happened if the boss had come up and seen him,” Belle says, “Thanks to the goddess she did not,” “You have to keep Shawn a secret for now, until I am able to break the news to her,” Belle pleaded, “No problem Elle, but you have to act fast because I know Shawn will be back for you,”

With that said, Belle walked away with a sly smile. "Impotent? Fools." Belle shook her head and laughed out loud, causing everyone to shift their attention to her. "Are you... alright?" Ela poked Belle's elbow and asked with a hint of hesitation. "Yeah! I am just too happy." Belle patted Ela's shoulder and walked to her seat, patiently waiting for her turn. *** In the secret basement of W.Y Co, Alaric frowned, flipping the document in his hands. "Sir, this is all I could find. Someone is trying to hide the missing pages of her life. If you want, we can...?" Gabriel was cut off by a loud thud.
