Novel & Cerita What Is A Man But A Miserable Pile Of Secrets

“For example, how did you get yourself off the streets? Did you go to college? If yes, what did you major in? What do you do? What’s your passion? Who the hell are you?” “I got off the streets by doing a lot of bad things. Things I don’t want to confess to you right now. Things that would probably make you turn around and walk away.” He frowned and let out a long breath. “Things that are supposed to be secrets that would get me in trouble with powerful people if they knew you knew. Things that are labeled Top Secret by US authorities.” I hadn’t been expecting that response, just more avoidance. Secrets. Powerful people. Trouble. Okay. Top Secret. Holy shit.

He then says something again, but it’s indecipherable. He coughs lightly and says something once more, that this time leaves us all confused, and me worried. “Deadly Secrets Of The CEO.” Jimmy’s voice comes out clear as he smiles while sleeping.

I’d been so blessed with amazing wonderful friends. But I was keeping a huge secret from Jenny. And I wanted to tell her so bad.. about that part of me. But I couldn’t. I had no idea how she would react. But secrets always had a way of coming around and biting you right in the ass. I was holding on to this secret for now. And it wasn’t the only one. Two secrets. Secrets that could ruin people. Ruin lives. Even ruin me.

Elijah Secrets. We all had ugly, dark, and vile skeletons in our past. Mine were horrific and any psychiatrist would say telling of the life I led. For a woman like Reneigh, what secrets could be so toxic that she'd almost gone into a panic attack? I'd heard the glitch in her voice the moment I'd produced the blindfold. She'd pushed hard against my command, yet I'd been unyielding. I was such a fucking asshole.

Still trapped in this mess. The pack… this pack had so many secrets. Too many, each one more rotten than the last. And the more you listened, the more you realized that the things you thought were the biggest secrets were just the beginning—just the crumbs scattered on the surface. You dig deeper, and you find out those crumbs? They lead to a trail of blood and betrayal and things that would leave you scarred for life, nightmares that stick to you. This moment right now—it wasn’t even the deepest secret of the pack, I could feel it in my bones. And yet, it felt like the most shocking thing I’d ever heard in my short, miserable life.

On the table lay another new folders, photographs, and documents stamped with official seals. “Lesson two, knowledge is a invisible blade than steel. Anyone can pull a trigger. But stealing secrets—that makes you untouchable.” He slid a photo in front of the table. A man in a suit, smiling beside a woman. “Mayor Henri Vermeer. A greedy bastard. He sells contracts under the table, siphons money from the people, and pretends to be holy on Sundays. Every politician in Belgium hides filth under their carpets. Your job, Alexei, will be to lift those carpets.”

"That means he holds a secret he cannot allow anyone to discover. And whatever that secret is, Hailey and Keegan must have stumbled onto it." A sharp light flashed in his eyes. He struck the desk with his palm. "What is the greatest secret in the apocalypse? Resources." He leaned forward. "The massive shipment missing from Volmart… It's in his hands. And he is hiding it with some kind of spatial ability!"

Over the next few days, TNN and countless other media went crazy over the Silverman case. William Silverman resigned as the CEO of Silverman Corporation, liquidated his shares and sold the Silverware to an up and coming startup company from Silicon Valley. The name Thomas Silverman became the most searched for words in the search engine and just about everyone had a story to tell about the mysterious murderous twin. Some claimed to have seen him playing in the slums as a child, others swore they had bumped into him at a prestigious boarding school in Europe and yet a few others would say he had been kept locked up in a bunker as a sexual slave to his crazed mother.

A ripple of unease spread through the room. “You’ve been watching us,” Emma said, her voice shaking. “Yes.” “You sent the photos. The messages.” “Yes.” “Why?” Lena demanded, her fear now edged with anger. The man’s expression darkened slightly. “Because you all moved on.” The words carried quiet fury. “You went back to your lives,” he continued. “Your marriages. Your routines. As if nothing had happened.” Emma felt her throat tighten. “But something did happen,” he said. “And all of you buried it.”

Even the servants moved like they had mastered the art of being invisible, going back and forth with lowered gazes. My heart sank at the sight. This wasn’t the future I had dreamed for my daughter and me, yet life had turned it into my reality. I was going to spend the rest of my life living another identity, married to a cold-hearted, ruthless mafia don. Lord, what have I done to deserve this?
