Novel & Cerita What Lies Behind Closed Doors

"I was wrong, James. Please let me go." Just then, a rough and masculine voice resounded from outside. "Emily Hill! Don't think that I don't know that you're hiding here! How dare you seek out another man after spending my money, you bitch." The newcomer was the son of a factory owner in town. He kicked the door open, frowning when he laid eyes upon the scene. "I didn't know you liked to mess around with another man's woman, Captain Wesley. "Aren't you afraid of your reputation being dragged through the mud if this gets out? You're about to be married soon.

“Yes.” He looked toward the massive doors opening before them. “Let’s see if you make the same mistake.” Inside the mansion… Hidden deep beneath the estate… A steel vault door waited in darkness. And inside that vault Was the truth that could destroy The Circle forever. Or start a war far bigger than any of them imagined.

Their judging eyes bored into me. It was absurd. He was the one who wanted an open marriage. But because the man was his uncle, suddenly I was the one on trial? I stood up slowly. "Before I answer that charge, I have a few questions of my own. About 'honor'." "First, how did our bottom line with the Castellanos get leaked? An arms deal that nearly cost my father his life. Whose betrayal was that?" A few elders frowned. "Second, why was the woman who leaked that information living in the Falcone manor, destroying a Moretti family heirloom? Is that not a public insult to the alliance between our two families?"

The door is ajar and some rays of light are passing. I push it open. Empty. Covered furniture rows of equal length, and stench of decay. But on the great piano--a red lipstick spot on the lid. Perfect. Fresh. Vanessa’s signature. I grit my teeth. “Where are you?” Thunder is seen outside shaking the walls. I cleaned up the room, ransacking it. Nothing. Then, there is a faint clicking sound behind me. I turn fast. It’s a phone, lying on a chair. The screen lights up. A video plays.

Content, she shut the door securely behind them, keeping their secrets hidden from the outside world. Rose turned around, took Linda's arm tenderly, and said, "Let's go," in a lighthearted manner. As they made their way to the living area, Linda nodded slightly and let her gaze wander over the room. The house was perfectly organized, with careful designs in every nook and cranny. Gorgeous wall decorations, well-chosen patterns, and colors gave the room a coziness and warmth that contrasted with the somber discussion that was about to take place.

And this mountain isn't high enough to keep the truth out forever. ​Behind me, I heard the faint, rhythmic thud of a heavy door closing somewhere deep in the house. He was back in his room. He was on the other side of the wall. ​Listening. ​

"You know? What do you mean by that?" Melinda didn't respond immediately, she pulled another book from the shelf. Instantly, the wall shifted, stone grinding against stone, revealing a narrow door hidden behind it. “What the hell!” Josh gasped at the thick doors, and took a step back, sending Melinda shooting glares, “Mom, I thought we agreed: no secrets!” “I’m sorry, Josh,” she said softly, her face shadowed with remorse. “But this one… was mine to keep.” The door creaked open, and a gust of incense-laden smoke poured out, thick and sweet. Josh coughed, waving the white haze from his face as the scent filled the room.

She smiled. “By the way, let me make it clear to you now. We’re nothing to each other inside these walls. The whole world will see us as lovers, but you and I both know the truth. Let it remain like that. You mean nothing to me behind closed doors, understood?” He said sternly.

He showed no anger, even though he had just lost five hundred million Euros. “Let them believe they have won,” the man said softly. “Mavric Thorne and Liora Valerius have just unlocked a gate they will never be able to close again. Welcome to the real game, children.” The chapter closed with a view of the armoured truck vanishing into the dark depths of the Norfolk woodlands leaving behind a ruined medical clinic, and a massive secret that was now fully rising into the light. END OF CHAPTER 198.
