My heart stopped. “Watch where you’re going,” the all-too-familiar voice of Sabrina sneered. Before I could react, she had grabbed my jacket, pulling me close, her eyes narrowing. “There's no need to hide it,” she whispered, her voice dripping with malicious glee. “I know all about your little secret.” Panic gripped me. “Please, Sabrina,” I begged, my voice trembling. “You can’t tell anyone.” A cruel smile spread across her face. “Oh, I won’t. But it’ll cost you. From now on, you’re my little servant. My errand girl. Do as I say, and maybe, just maybe, I won’t spill your precious secret.”

Emily said later. "This is part of our agreement, Emily. Your secret will always be safe with me as long as you are mine. That means no one is allowed to approach you because you are mine.

Even yesterday, I felt as if something was being planned. Vera's sudden texts to me that night were surprising because all I knew was that she was mad at me. I still remember what she said earlier in the mansion about where she was going downstairs. Sir Anton and the others immediately followed her too. "Rika, I have a question," I asked her and approached her. She looked up at me while she was biting a ballpoint pen. "Hmm?" "Is there another place in the mansion?

Angela shouted, closing the suitcase again and shoving it before Gilberd. "Especially Uncle. Uncle has no right to keep all this when the head of the family is already there, "cried Gilbert. "All of this is yours, Angela. So save it!" Dareen exclaimed. Angela looked at Regan, and Regan nodded his head. "The other wealth is in a secret room, which is the big vault of this family.

I couldn't understand her reaction. ‘‘What is it you're trying so hard to hide?’’ “I only need you to keep your knowledge a secret. I promise to do whatever you ask of me.’’ She sniffled.

Right here, in this school.” My heart gave a curious thud. “What is it?” She hesitated for half a second, glancing toward the door like she was making sure no one could overhear.
