The Secret Katherine Applegate Novels & Stories

I was reading The Creature Within at the time and she surprised me by plopping down right next to me. “I didn’t know you were a fan of Kevin Kingsley,” she said, as if we had never even stopped being friends for a whole year. My heart leapt when I lifted my gaze from the pages to her crystal blue eyes. “I didn’t know you enjoyed reading, Tara,” I said with a smile. She shifted in the seat nervously, looking around for any prying ears, but everyone was happily talking with their own companions. She leaned in close to whisper to me.

"I don't want to see him right now." Katherine hid behind Vincent's large back. She spoke softly to him. Gilbert Grande and she both shared the same surname Grande. When they met face to face, wouldn’t he recognize her easily? He was no fool, even if the whole world saw her as Katherine Jeremy, he would always recognize his niece. Because after everything he'd done, he'd been looking for her all these years. Currently, she only knew some basic information about the current Hologram Corporation. She couldn't appear in front of him right now. Surely his powerful influence could crush her hope as easily as a hand, no matter how talented Vincent Blythe was still somewhat afraid of him.

“…You had no right —” “I don’t need your permission —” “Don’t you dare speak to me like that in my company—” People flinched. A stapler dropped. Someone faked a phone call. Someone else literally escaped to the bathroom. Only one person didn’t hide. Katherine strolled in, wearing his trench coat over a deep green dress and combat boots. Her curls were wild, her eyeliner sharp, and her smirk slightly too wide for 8 AM. She held a croissant in one hand and her tablet in the other, muttering, “Looks like someone’s having a full Monday special.”

she screamed in excitement and Alpha Raymond quietly chuckled “So can I leave now my beautiful Luna?” “So far you call me back again soon” “I promise” “Hmm you can go Alpha” They both laughed and then hung up the call. Katherine sighed and relaxed back in bed. After staying there for about twenty seconds, she got up restless again and then stood up to go find Ma'am Sarah She carefully walked into the kitchen and she met ma'am Sarah chopping some vegetables for dinner. “Hello” she greeted while walking to grab an apple from the fruit bowl

She pulled up the final image. It was a photograph. Clear, intimate. Nicholas Hale, in what looked like a dimly lit bar, kissing a beautiful, dark-haired woman. His hand was tangled in her hair. It was not a friendly kiss. It was hungry, passionate, private. The world stopped. The air was ripped from Katherine’s lungs. She felt the coffee she’d had that morning rise in her throat. “No,” she breathed. “This… this is fake. It has to be.” “Is it?” Vivian asked softly, not unkindly. “Think, Katherine. The perfect lawyer. The flawless strategy. The romantic rescue. He played the hero to win your trust. But who was he really working for? Who was he really reporting to?”

"But?" Nathaniel held her gaze firmly. "It's a bit inconvenient. Your ability is more useful if it's kept a secret." Katherine's stomach turned. Keeping it a secret? Again? Her hands fell down weakly. The man before her suddenly had brown hair and murky brown eyes. With a finger on his smiling lips, he said: "It's our little secret, Kitty. Don't talk about it." "No", she whispered and backed away. "No, not again! I won't keep it a secret again!"

Katherine nodded, though her focus was torn between the elegance of the displays and the polished ease with which Thea greeted the secretary at the desk. The secretary, dressed immaculately in a sleek black suit, smiled warmly as Thea leaned in, speaking in low tones. Katherine caught none of the conversation, but Thea’s sharp gestures and the occasional glance in her direction made it clear she was orchestrating something elaborate. Hailey sidled up to Katherine, her voice low. “What’s she even saying? Looks like she’s plotting world domination.” Before Katherine could respond, Thea turned away from the desk, her expression as composed as ever. “Alright, Katherine,” she said briskly. “Follo

" Ms Garcia please you are not allowed in here! I might lose my Job! your father warned me never to allow you in his office! " and who are you to tell me what to do! My mother!

You are just a hungry poor secretary! and what are you all looking at! get back to work! she screamed at the workers. The secretary shook her head in disappointment. She left the room as she couldn't do anything to stop Katherine. Katherine Looks around, she stood up and walked to the safe, she opened it and took a large sum of money. She hid it all in her handbag, fixed herself up then leaves the office.
