"Relax, we're just pretending, remember?" He didn't reply, just watched me with those piercing eyes that seemed to see right through me, into the part of me that was starting to get lost in our performance. The cameras flashed, a strobe light of our perfect fairytale life. We were the "perfect couple," living a lie so grand it felt almost real. But behind the smiles and the designer clothes, we were two broken people with a secret that could destroy everything. Suddenly, a woman with a sleek blonde bob and a killer red dress approached. Her features were sharp and elegant, and I guessed she had some Western blood in her. She hugged Eavon tightly, her eyes sizing me up with an unnerving inten

Charles says, wrapping his arms around me from behind. My poor heart "Oh no son, I just didn't know that you and Elizabeth were that close" "Let's just say she's that hidden secret I wasn't ready to reveal yet" Now he's insinuating things "Oh I get it now. Congratulations you both!" She says with a beaming smile and walks excitedly, as if she has a dirty secret she cannot wait to share with everyone. "Charles!" "Elizabeth!" "Now you're just creating stories" "I've always wanted to be a writer since I was a kid"

Chapter 4: Jealous Games Alex POV Max’s text sat on my phone like a live grenade for the entire weekend. Every time the screen lit up with a notification, my stomach lurched, expecting another message from him. “I know your secret. Tell them or I will.” The words burned behind my eyes even when the phone was face-down on my nightstand.

I opened up and what I set my eyes on almost got my leg trembling. 'What! she planned all this.' I almost couldn't believe my eyes, because the sight of the plan is so terrifying.

His voice sounds smug. I frown at him. I don't understand. I want to know the secret. "That one," he says. He brings me close to the bookshelf and nods at it. He doesn't look at me. "The red one. With the silver title." My hand shakes a little when I reach out. I touch the book he said. I pull it toward me. The book tilts but it doesn't slide off the shelf. It turns forward and clicks. I gasp when the whole bookshelf spins away. Behind it is a tunnel. A secret tunnel.

Arielle Romano believed the cruelest thing Nicholas Contini could do was break her heart. She was wrong. Behind closed doors, he was Nico—the man who held her as if she were precious, called her his, and made her believe their forbidden love would one day become something real. Then Arie stood beside the altar and watched him marry her cousin. When she confronts him, Nico doesn’t apologise. He simply looks at her with the same terrifying certainty that has brought entire empires to their knees. “Bianca may be my wife,” he tells her, “but you are the woman I will never let go.” Nico expects Arie to remain his beautiful secret.
