Novel & Cerita Where My Heart Was Hidden

The paper blurred as tears filled my eyes. Derek’s arms wrapped around my shoulders, pulling me close. “It’s okay,” he whispered. I rested my head against him, rereading the note through glassy eyes. Then the phrase “my heart” struck me. A memory stirred. Mother’s faint, sickly voice echoing in my mind: < > I blinked, wiping my tears. “Goddess… I remember something,” I said suddenly, pulling away from Derek. I crossed the room and pressed against a shelf. The wall, which looked ordinary, shifted under pressure, revealing the hidden alcove Mother had once shown me.

Elsewhere – Clarissa’s Hidden Estate Clarissa watched Ethan and Nathan’s press conference replay again. “You’re going to try to be heroes,” she murmured. “But even heroes fall.” She tapped her keyboard again, this time opening a second folder. “Ethan: Mother | Institutional Records | Buried Files” Her lips curled. “Let’s see how strong love really is when I bring back everything he thought he’d escaped.”

"That could be so cheap...! I mean... do people still do that? I posed looking at the bridesmaids' team. As soon as the gate opened, I rushed to get into the compound. I wanted to get rid of Jerry. He was still there waiting... waiting for nothing. Perhaps he was just waiting for me to get into my home safe. Quite a gentleman who took me by surprise. As soon as I got inside my compound, I heard him leave. For a while, I leaned back on the gate. My heart skipped so fast, I think I was in dismay by Jerry's actions. After the sound of his car tires faded, I walked into my house and rushed to place my handbag on the kitchen table. One might think the bag was heavily loaded; hence weighing me dow

I sent my location to him and instructed him to pretend like he doesn't know me. I ended the call and face her boss again. " If you know what is good for you, don't say anything when you leave this room and make sure you sign the contract or you will be a forgotten person. Cold sweat broke out of him when he realised who I was because everyone knows that I always hide my identity, so he grabs my legs and started pleading " I know my mistake now, please forgive me, young master" I used my leg to push him to the side and looked at him.

I hissed, feeling my heart pound. My heart raced faster as the fabric finally gave way after several terrifying moments, ripping and allowing me to hide as close to the center of the gap as possible. I slowed my breathing as much as possible, hearing footsteps drawing closer to my hiding spot. Please don't find me. I closed my eyes and bowed my head, shivering silently. My heart pounded harder in my chest, and I could hear it in my ears as the steps grew closer. I covered my face with my hands as I listened to the footsteps stop. Please keep going- Please keep going!

The darkness has now finally covered the sunset. The darkness wins against the Sun now. Of course, this time will come. There's a time that the Sun will beat the Darkness and on this point of time, Darkness beat the Sun. I ran while my heart is beating erratically, the beat of my heart is like a thunderbolt ranging the whole place. I did not stop from running until I saw the place where I could hide. I hide inside of a small compartment in this ship. The smokes are covering the whole place and the loud shots of guns didn't stop even earlier. It all started maybe a half hours ago and until now, it's not yet done.

Nothing can. It's like someone opened my chest and ripped my heart out with no mercy. Everything hurt. Every part of my body hurt. Every limb hurt. My bone. Everything hurts. I didn't even know my lips could hurt, but they do. I'm dying. Something is lost within me. My soul died along with her today. My heart was cremated along with her body. My spirit is locked in this silver jar, restless, and unforgiving.

It was as though a hidden door within my heart swung open, revealing a truth I hadn't dared to acknowledge even to myself. A soft tremor coursed through my being, an undeniable recognition that the words I had spoken held a depth beyond mere friendship. How had I not seen it before? How had my heart whispered its secrets without my conscious consent? "I..." I began, my voice a fragile thread in the silence that enveloped us.

The old marks glowed red, then the door slid open with a grinding sound. Inside, the Heart Chamber was exactly as I'd imagined. A circular room with an altar at the center, lit by strange glowing crystals. But the room was empty—no Luther, no Seraphina, no Elders. Where were they? I moved quickly to the altar. According to the old texts, the Grimoire of Binding would be hidden in a secret compartment beneath it. I ran my hands along the base, feeling for a release or switch. My phone buzzed again. A message from my contacts: "Ingrid has entered the pack house. She's following your trail."

My dusty hand clasped tightly against my mouth. But I wasn't completely silent. My thumping heartbeat would give me away. It drummed so loud, even I could hear it. Goddess, I wished I had the ability to disappear. I glanced at the spot I hid. It was tempting to run back in there. But it was too late. The killer was already close. Dangerously close. I could smell him. And with the way I hid, if he peeked closer, he would see me. Goddess, please don't let him come.
