Lisa said and cut the call. My eyes tilted on its axis at her words and my hands were shaking profusely as I quickly clicked on the link in my mail to see what she was talking about. Justin's hands were on my back, patting me to make me calm down because I was sure my blood pressure would measure high if I were to be tested at the time. Jason's gaze was also fixed on me, and I could see how his eyes were laced with concern. My eyes widened in shock when I saw the post and the hashtags used. “THE SECRET LIFE OF DR. CAMILLA WESLEY, THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE WESLEY GROUP EXPOSED.

The silence made Alaya look up too. “Is that…?” she asked slowly. “Turn the volume up.” Tasha grabbed the remote and hit the button. “So she’d been his side chick all along?” the interviewer asked, brows raised with performative shock. “Oh yeah,” said a familiar voice — dripping with fake sweetness. Alaya’s heart dropped. Selena. “He used to take her on yachts, private vacations, spoil her rotten,” Selena went on, flipping her wig dramatically. “She was basically draining him dry.”

Autumn had never truly believed in keeping secrets, lying, or avoiding reality. She knew she wasn't perfect—she'd told her share of little white lies, hidden things from her aunt, covered up crushes, failed quizzes, even fibbed about where she’d been after curfew back when she used to hang out with Calvin. But this? This was something else entirely. This secret throbbed in her chest like a second heartbeat, heavy and insistent, every time she glanced at the man lying in the spare bedroom. It was the kind of secret that demanded attention, refusing to be buried beneath ordinary worries.

“They reveal the motives, the manipulations, the betrayals I’ve endured… and the ones I’ve committed, consciously or otherwise.” Elena’s pulse quickened. Secrets had always been the currency of their lives, shaping actions, creating distance, and fostering misunderstandings. Tonight, the promise of transparency stirred a cautious hope within her. She moved closer, examining the files, each labeled carefully: Marcus Blackwell, Vivienne Roth, Julian Crane, Elena Harper—her name alone igniting a complex mix of anxiety and anticipation.

"It’s not weird. It’s just... new." It was the ultimate irony. While their family was being torn apart by the discovery of fake identities and bought babies, Lily and Ethan were finally finding something real. They had started talking—really talking—during the long nights when the paparazzi were camped outside. They talked about their childhoods, their fears, and the crushing pressure of being "perfect" heirs. Somewhere between the lawyer meetings and the frozen dinners, they had actually fallen in love. But their love was built on a foundation of secrets that were still buried deep in the basement.

We all have secrets. The first real secret I ever had began when I was nine years old. I’m not talking about when someone tells you something and you keep it to yourself—it’s more like when you know something or have seen something that no one else has, and telling someone about it takes away from your pleasure, from your secret. Now, I’m not going to talk about my secret eleven years ago. I’m going to talk about my biggest secret of all time. Back when I was sixteen years old.

Gina said with her mouth full. Selena looked at her with a confused face. "Have you been reading more of those books?" She was referring to the books on Gina's desk that had weird titles like "How to properly unlock the door without the key." , "Speak like a smarty pants!" , "Who are you? I am the ugly world?" , "Books for people who are cops." And other titles. Selena didn't even want to think of how silly the contents were. Who on earth even wrote those books and where did Gina even get them?

Then what about the remaining secrets that Emily still doesn't know about until now? Ah, the devil cares! She should enjoy this relationship before starting to think things over. Damn, absolutely delicious! ***

Quietly, I asked, "Joan, do you know why I got my hands on Jonathan's riches in my previous life? Yes, my obedience played a part, but knowing all their dirt was another. "Jonathan had AIDS. His dad got it from one of Jonathan's parties as well. I never let Jonathan sleep with me in our whole marriage. When I found out about his… condition, I agreed to have an IVF baby with Jonathan to keep the Pearson bloodline running. The riches? They were for my baby. "I suggest you focus on the Pearsons. Coming after me is just going to be a waste of your precious little time." Then, I smiled, went back up the stage, and held hands with Gilbert. Our fingers were entwined.
