But behind the smiles and the designer clothes, we were two broken people with a secret that could destroy everything. Suddenly, a woman with a sleek blonde bob and a killer red dress approached.

Simone tells him as Emmett lets out the breath he was holding. Getting out of his seat; Emmett moves to the door and locks it. “I have to show you something” he says, handing her the book in his hand. “Besides me; do you recognise anyone else in this yearbook. I keep them here because I don’t want anyone else going through them.”

Next day Chenyin went to the bathroom to take a shower. Zhong Yu entered the room silently. She started to find the book. She found a book under Chenyin's pillow. She understood that it's the secret book. That's why Chenyin put it here. She took the book and put a poison book in it's place. Then she left with the book. Suddenly, Chenguang entered the room with a tray of foods. She knew that Chenyin was in the bathroom. She placed the tray in the table and quickly started to find the book.

Mason picked up both pieces of paper and stared at them for a long time. His mouth opened slightly, then snapped shut. "Look, man. I'm not trying to sabotage you." "I know." "But don't you think it's a little too convenient? Alice hid this from you for so long, and she just happens to lay it all out the exact moment you find out? Didn't it ever cross your mind that this whole story was scripted—" "Mason, your second marriage. The thing about the gold necklace." The color drained from his face. "The thing your ex sewed into the pillow. Was it really from another man?"

“Yes, but that is standard. They have to vote on whether to let me off of the case.

I muttered as I ran toward my chambers, driven by a strange pull, a gut feeling that something was there waiting for me. In my room, I scanned my surroundings, something drawing me to a concealed compartment behind my bookshelf. I opened it, finding a small, worn book—a diary. My heart sank as I opened it, the words inside telling a dark, familiar story.

I looked at my desk. Eye contact meant certain death and I wasn't prepared for that. Ella leaned closer, whispering, “I don’t get why letters get to hang out with numbers.

He knows..... William pov Getting home I saw the package Nathaniel was talking about. I opened it and it was a picture of I and Jade on our first date. On top was written: I know your secret. Shit! He knows! Is that why he is intentionally keeping Jade around? To hurt us? Does he know that I was the one who drove the car?
