The Secret Gets Out Novels & Stories

"Let's calm down, okay? The engagement party will go on as planned." "You've got it wrong." "What?" I smiled, repeating myself as I said, "You've got it wrong." I then pulled the hidden camera from my collar. "Shane, now everyone around the globe knows what you've done." …… That was when Shane lost his composure. Just then, the assistant who had been locked out came charging in. "Mr. Jackson, everything was streamed live, and now our stock is tanking!" The two secretaries who came in after him added to the chaos.

I let my head fall back against the cushion, exhaling a sigh. My secret was unearthed. The ground was cracking. The man I was following now bore my name on him—and it would take one phone call to turn it all around

The secret's out. My mouth opened and closed, bobbing like a fish while my eyes searched his, frantically switching from one to the other. Desperately, I tried to understand what he was thinking. The family secret was out, a secret buried so deep that not even I should have known. But I did and now so did Deshawn. "H-how do you know?" I whispered. Deshawn was still crouched in front of me with a blank expression painted over his glowing features.

he got something out of his pocket and handed it to her. "What is it?" Maria frowned her eyebrows, looking at the SD card in her hand. "All the information regarding their gang, well... you can say that I acted on your advice alone and went behind him to their secret hideout. I found many things and all the evidence are in there." Maria's eyes widened in amusement, she had something very important in her hand now. "See you soon, the future General, hopefully." he smiled and left the place. Maria looked at Dean's back with stars in her eyes, it indeed does not take long to change opinion about someone.

The elevator door slid open seamlessly and she stepped out, ignoring the greeting from a new receptionist on duty. Could it be that he knows who the murderer is? No no no…it would be crazy to hide the murderer’s identity. She pulled her fingers away from her mouth and looked at her chipped nails, shaking her head furiously as she trudged out the lobby and into the morning sun with her backpack swung around her shoulder, still deep in thoughts. He did say that he would reveal everything once the Silverware is launched. Is he waiting for that? Surely he wasn't THAT selfish. Surely he wouldn’t hide the truth just for the sake of his company profits.

It came in the form of an unexpected letter, delivered to our doorstep one sunny afternoon. Curiosity mingled with caution as I carefully opened the envelope, my heart quickening with anticipation. Inside, I found a single sheet of paper, its contents written in elegant script. The words that greeted me sent a chill down my spine. "Anna, I know your secret. The truth you've hidden from Victor. If you want to protect everything you hold dear, meet me at the old abandoned warehouse at midnight. Come alone." The words hung in the air, their weight heavy on my heart. A secret? What could this mysterious sender possibly know? My mind raced with possibilities, each one more unsettling than the las

The last thing I remembered hearing was, “we got her.” ** |Sean's POV| "She's in the mansion, tied on a chair, in the basement. Two guards are in front of her cell." Jake, one of my men informed. He was standing straight with his hands behind his back. "She killed someone. The sight was gruesome. The man had a dick in his mouth and his face was completed unrecognisable. I'm telling you, boss, this girl's mental." "And we found her outside the club." Travis, another one of my guys added with a nod. I glanced at him before rolling my eyes, "yeah ‘cause that's where I told you you'd find her, idiot."

Seth ran past us taking out any guards he met. “What made you join? I remember your girlfriend spoiling the plan,” Winnie started as we walked to our main target. She turned off her comms and so did I. I clicked my tongue, our footsteps being the only sound in the hallway. “I was bored… we have an hour to get the document,” I said, increasing my pace. Zero set the timer, so our time was limited. The room where the confidential information lay was underground, hopefully, Lily could access that too.

Mike’s voice snapped me back to reality. I stepped out of the car and into the building. The usual salutes from security and staff met me, but I barely acknowledged them. I was already in work mode. In no time, the elevator brought me to the fourth floor—my office. “The meeting with Mr. Hartley and Mr. Moreau is set to start in 30 minutes,” Mike informed me, his voice low and even. But something was off. His eyes avoided mine. His expression was tight. Of course, I understood. Witnessing your woman screwing another man—hell, that could destroy a man.

"Honey, stop making a scene. When we arrive at Meridianna, I will arrange for people to go to the port to pick you guys up." Finishing his words, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car disappeared from my line of sight. The last shred of expectation in my heart was extinguished thoroughly as well. I silently pulled out my phone and dialed the wedding planning team's number. "The wedding is canceled. I'm not getting married."
