Novel & Cerita The Secret Gets Out

I ordered then sat up in seriousness. Sean walked to the front of the hall and everyone’s eyes followed him like he was the savior who could save them from me, but I could see the savior’s eyes trembling. Sean cleared his throat then fixed his laptop on the table, “We just realized the design which had been kept as a top secret has been stolen and we also heard the person has started working on it. Also, there is no way we can access the file anymore as I have found out that it has been deleted on every one of our systems! And this went missing last week!” Sean explained then nervously looked up at me.

“Some of them behave just fine.” “This isn’t one of the behaving ones,” Hazel cut in. “This is a box that fights. The kind that explodes when you step on it.” Rhea nodded, her hair sliding against the pillow. “This is the kind of secret that always comes out,” she added. “Either from your mouth or someone else’s. Or through a will. Or a corporate hearing. Or a family birthday party on a yacht if we want the dramatic version.” “I’m not going to any family birthday party on a yacht,” I said firmly. “I don’t even want to be in their family W******p group.”

"But, I'm handling it. I, ah, gained the services of Officer Barbour and Ms. Salata. They're going to help me find this son of a bitch, and then I'll make sure our secret stays safe." They stared at me in silence. It was Abbie who finally broke it. "Now let me see if I got this straight, Mr. C. You're telling me, our secret got out, and your reaction to that was to involve TWO MORE PEOPLE in it?! Is THAT what I'm hearing?!"

Suddenly his expression changed as he looked through the message. “What's wrong?” I asked, walking closer to him. “Turn on the TV,” he instructed. His voice laced with urgency and I obeyed. The news that was reported shocked me. “How…how did the news get out?” I stammered, staring at the tv. Alex squinted his eyes. “I have no idea.” Our secret is out. The news has just broken that Alex has lost his memories, despite our stern instructions to the doctors to keep his condition confidential.

But as I lay in bed, I found myself unable to sleep, my thoughts still racing with all that had happened. I was sure that within two days or three the news would be out. I wished the days would just fly by, so Allison's secret would finally come out in the open. I got bored of staying in my room. I decided to take a walk in the garden. But to my utmost surprise, when I stepped into the sitting room. The big screen was on, and playing on the screen was the news about Allison James' business scandal. I was elated and shocked at the same time.

Now, I'm getting nervous, scared even. “What secret are you talking about?” This time my tongue doesn’t disappoint me and lets me sound confident for a change. However, seeing Elliot's raised brows melts my confidence a little. He is looking at me as though he knows what I'm thinking. Something Isn't right. He shouldn’t learn that secret of ours. “The secret is that you love me.” He finally discloses his information after playing hide and seek. I was worried for no reason. I can't contain my laughter. It's so funny that my eyes water and for the first time in my life, It's not tears of sadness.

Silence follows. I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. "Let's get you out of here," Lou murmurs, leading me to the car. Later, in the backseat, I stare at my phone, heart hammering as I read the headline from 'The Campus Scoop': ‘Monroe’s Millions Can’t Buy Loyalty: Heiress Dumped for Boyfriend’s Secret Gay Affair.’ Oh. My. God. My grip tightens on the phone. "Fuck!"

Ruby sat in the tub reeling from the brief conversation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **Dez** "Viktor! I found her; I'm leaving now." He was ecstatic and ready to leave. "Do not say where you are going. No one needs to know what you are doing. This must remain a secret until we know more about this situation." This was an odd request but he didn't mind. Dez was a private person anyway. "This may be more dangerous than I originally thought. Be extremely cautious." "I understand, I will text you after I get settled." He turned and was out of the building and in his car in less than thirty seconds.

Inside there was an envelope. My heart was racing as I pulled it out.There was a picture. It was a photo of me and Victor. We were in my apartment. Someone had taken it from outside the building. We were just standing there Victor holding a grocery bag and me laughing at something he said. I had no idea someone was taking our picture. My stomach dropped.Under the picture there was a message typed out: “Secrets don’t stay hidden forever. Someone always knows."

Sky cluelessly muttered and Demo smacked his head. "Stupid, it's Zanaya." Demo utttered and I felt my heartache at the sound of her name. Shit. After what happened, all I did was drink with the guys and one night, I ended up telling my secret to them. Luckily, they were all knockout. Well, except Storm. I almost forgot about if if he didn't show me a picture on his phone. That old man decided that it's okay to take a photo of my wedding on his phone.
