Romans & histoires The Secret Garden Book

I wasn’t interested in the books; I had many back in my room, many also which I hadn’t even opened. I traced the far corner of the library walls and finally found the lever. I pulled it, revealing the secret passage. Stepping into the darkness, I ran my hands along the uneven wall, feeling my way around. I took a right, followed by a left, and finally I could see the light. I ran forward and into the small garden. This has been my haven since I discovered it seven years ago, the garden wasn’t the only thing I discovered. That very same day, I found a loyal friend.

Once inside, I place the mac and cheese onto my desk and removes one of the oven mitts before I begin searching the book shelf to the right of my desk. “What are you doing?” Getting a puzzled look from Sky, I ignore his questioning gaze. “You’ll see.” Finding what I am looking for, I pull out a book titled “Hidden Secrets” and smirk as the shelf slowly moves to the right side. Sky lets out a low whistle as I place on the mitt once again before picking up the pan and climbing the stairs in the hidden passage way. "Wow." Is Sky's only response.

‘Eldora, there is a secret that has been passed down to each head of our family. Lock the door and windows. Insert the key into the book titled ‘Sleep, sweet child.’ Read the records. They will explain everything.’ “A secret?” I fumble the small key in my fingers as I follow the instructions. The door clicks shut, the windows are next, I draw the curtains close now only the bulbs offer light. “Sleep, sweet child… sleep, sweet child…” There are so many books here. “There you are!”

I whispered. The book said the leaves were rare and only grew near the east garden—somewhere near the training grounds. I didn’t think twice. I got up, grabbed the book, and hurried out of the library before Princess Thania could return and stop me with another one of her “nap therapy” ideas.

“We’ll be back.” Without waiting for a response, I led Eleanor down the dimly lit hallway, away from the suffocating weight of Kate’s condition. Through the side doors, we stepped into the night, the cold air wrapping around us. I took her to the secret garden hidden behind the mansion, a place untouched by the world’s chaos. The soft glow of lanterns flickered against the wooden trellises wrapped in thick vines, their leaves casting shifting shadows across the mossy stone path. Roses in shades of crimson and ivory bloomed in tangled clusters, their scent thick and intoxicating. The fountain at the center trickled softly, its water reflecting the stars.

{Lyra} I stood in front of the stone doors that led into the secret garden, holding Odessa’s iron key in one hand and the folded handkerchief in the other. My heart beat softly against my ribs, but still loud enough that I could hear it. I inhaled deeply, trying to shake off the nerves, “Alright, let’s see what you’re hiding, witch.” I mumbled and pushed the key into the small keyhole of the stone door. The door groaned as it creaked open, to reveal the hidden world that still looked as magical as the very first time I saw it. Dew clung to every petal, and the eerie breeze came with the scent of magic.

‎ Chapter 46 ‎The Garden's Secret ‎ ‎Talia ‎ ‎The manor had always kept secrets, but the garden kept the best ones. ‎ ‎By the time our great-great-great-grandchildren were running the pack, the garden had become a place of quiet magic. The great oak’s roots had woven a canopy underground, creating hidden rooms where light filtered through in patterns that told stories if you knew how to read them. The white flowers around our stones had spread, forming paths that led to clearings no one remembered planting. Vines climbed the manor walls, blooming with flowers that opened only at dusk, releasing scents that brought memories to the surface unbidden.

My husband, Miles Connell, turned his study into a gaming room, kept it locked for three years, and refused to let anyone in. Yet whenever I brought friends home, he eagerly ushered them inside. After leaving the room, my best friend, Zoe Schmich, blocked me. “From now on, we’re no longer best friends.” My business partner, Erin Zappone, slapped me across the face when she emerged. “Our partnership is over!” I asked Miles what exactly he had said to them in the gaming room, but he merely waved me off and insisted he had nothing to do with it. Dad refused to believe any of it, so he picked the lock and went inside while Miles was away on a business trip. The moment he came out, he grabb

I could feel his fingers pressing into my hip, guiding me, claiming me. The hallway was dark. Quiet. The only sound was our footsteps on the marble floor. "This is the way to the courtyard," he said. "The secret garden." I didn't speak. I couldn't. I was too turned on. Too wet. Too overwhelmed. He pushed open a door at the end of the hallway. It opened into a small courtyard, hidden from the rest of the estate. The walls were covered in ivy. The floor was cobblestone. A fountain burbled quietly in the moonlight.

Nichole gave me an apologetic look even though she was hurt as well. Dumpp!! In the middle of our heated argument, we heard a loud sound which made us shriek extremely. "What the heck is this?" Natasha asked dramatically but her guts shut down when she saw Blake who threw the book on the table. "Read the book and find the details. Don't bother her again." He threw a murderous look to everyone particularly towards Natasha before made his way God knows where. "Rude much." I heard her mutter under her breath before she took the book "The Hidden Secrets" from the table and flipped the first page.
