Twisted Secrets Novels & Stories

Now, each of them was kneeling, one more submissively than the other. Tired of wasting time, Simon waved his hand. Three bodyguards stepped forward. They grabbed all three of them and dragged them into the abandoned factory. Not long after, their screams echoed from inside. The metallic scent of blood seeped through the tightly shut doors. Even I couldn't help but shiver at this. "Ms. Esmeray, Mr. Stewart would like to meet with you," Simon said. His tone was polite once again as he invited me back into the car.

He was waiting for my relationship with Damon to crash and burn. "I really don't have a choice, but it’s going to be awkward from now on, and she won’t even understand why." I smiled, shaking my head. "Well, it will be a secret. Everyone has secrets." "Trust me, I know everyone has secrets." He stared at me. There was an underlying message.

Right to that moment,I didn't know I had someone who was quite obsessed with me. "If you won't tell me what's up with you.Then get some rest.You look tired."I said trying to hide the sadness I feel that even if he cared about me,he didn't deem me worthy enough to share his secrets with me. I stood up trying to get him to take off his jacket. He turned to face me and my eyes held his. The anguish I saw in his was unnerving. "I want to tell you, Sophia.But don't look at me when I talk... I don't deal with pitiful looks quite well"

“What the hell is wrong with your sanities?” “We are losing clients, Owen. Our share has hit the lowest on the market for three weeks in a row now. There are false reports about us in the media. The fire in the office, losing documents of our confidential projects, all the computers of our drama got hacked, and, furthermore, he threatened Brian to crush us on the dirt. The board of directors is on our necks, and any time soon they can announce to change the CEO, then the power would be out of our hands. If they replaced Brian, we would be nothing, brother. Just a puppet in our own company.”

I reached her house and got past the security. “Wait, mam, your identity,” the security stopped me. “Are you kidding me? Why should I show my identity every time I come here? You know I am her friend” then they allowed me with an apology. I got inside her room and took a specific book from her bookshelf. A secret passage opened from it and I walked inside. The lab is larger than her house, more stunning, has excellent maintenance, all new equipment, trustworthy workers, sufficient space. More than a hundred people are working here. It’s a secret research lab. Everyone is busy with their work.

I don’t understand where it went so wrong that he is this desperate to burn my name. “What will we do now?” Owen whispers. “I don’t know,” I murmur. Viola comes to the room. She quietly reads the air inside the room before closing the door and taking her seat on the couch. I am sitting in my chair behind the desk, Owen is on the couch. Michale is still with the laptop, increasing security on our website and all the devices of our company. “What happened?” Viola asks as she sits on the couch. “They call the London project deal off, the computer got hacked, the documents are nowhere to find,” Owen whispers.

The two cannot be the same. “Looking at him, I asked again: “So you have no choice as to the type of girl you want to have someday?” Again, he didn’t reply me. Instead, he threw the question back to me. I didn’t want to answer him at first. “What if he’s not able to keep it a secret?” I thought. But, upon a second thought, I decided to tell him. That could be an appetizing bait for him to, perhaps, voice out his preferences that he was uneasy to talk about.

Alessia’s POV We set out at dawn. No more hiding. No more waiting for them to make the first move. We had the tapes. We had Sofia. And now, we had something they never saw coming: A map. Rafael pulled it from the church files and the encrypted archives we snagged from Severi’s servers. Beneath layers of fake charities and "restoration grants," there lay a tangled web of payments spread across Europe—Hungary, Spain, Malta.

“We're closer than we thought.” He leaned back in his chair, his expression closed, as if he was reflecting on something deeper, but wasn't willing to share it yet. The council waited in silence, aware that the alpha's words always came with hidden layers. His every move was minutely calculated, but not revealed to everyone. “We'll keep it a secret for now. When the time comes, we'll know what to do. You are dismissed.” And with that, he stood up, signaling that the meeting was over. The council remained silent, aware that once again the alpha was ahead of everyone, with a plan that had barely begun to unfold.

he asked in an strange tone and I nodded my head. "Yes, Mr.Smith. Is there something you want to tell me?" I asked, placing my bag on my shoulders and he looked hesitant. "Our game had been released online by an anonymous account." He spoke, not meeting my gaze and my eyes went wide. "What? Tha--That's impossible. We were supposed to release it next week along with the upgrade. That's why we put it in hold. How did this happen?" I asked in disbelief. My hands started to shake and I felt like passing out. This was bad. I was the one who had the entire application on my laptop.
