Your Secret Is Safe With My Indifference Novels & Stories

He gave Emily a once-over, then turned to see the security guards facing him like they were ready for action. Seeing this, Leo smirked, then gazed back at Emily. With a low, mocking voice, he said, “I see you snagged a rich guy, huh. How do you always do that?” Emily ignored his question. She stared at him down, her fists clasped by her side. Observing Emily's expression, Leo tilted his head. “Come on, Emily. It’s been what? Four years? You just disappeared.” Disappeared. Leo made it sound so casual, like she had vanished on purpose.

Even the lilies seem to hold their breath. My spine stays straight. That’s the rule: don’t show your pulse. I keep my hands loose at my sides even though my ring finger aches to tap the signal—two taps, eyes up; three, location; four, break the glass. Not yet. Not while every lens in this room is hunting for a crack in my face. The word safe ricochets in my ribs. She knows. Maybe not what’s in it, but she knows it exists. She said secrets like she’s counted them.

My throat tightened. “I know.” “Then stop trying to.” For a moment, I almost told him. Almost confessed everything. Almost chose him fully. But fear wrapped around my lungs again. Not today. Not yet. Instead, I leaned forward and rested my forehead briefly against his shoulder. He froze slightly. Then relaxed. His hand came up to rest gently on my back. “You’re safe,” he murmured. Safe. The word echoed painfully inside me. Because safety built on secrets never lasts. But for that moment—

And I know — know — that some of that softness was already her hunger brushing against me, unknowing. I should tell the others. I should. But I don’t. Because once I say it, it’s real. And once it’s real, I can’t unsay it. And gods help me, part of me doesn’t want to share this with them at all. This terrible, dangerous secret sitting like a stone in my chest — it’s mine for now. Mine alone. I close the book gently, like it might explode. My reflection stares back at me in the blackened window pane. My glamour has thinned so much I can see the flicker of my true self beneath — the gold glow dimmed, hair mussed, eyes ringed with exhaustion.

All the color drains from Joanna’s face as I say those words, I guess hearing them from another person who’s not in her circle sounds a lot more mortifying and implicating than it does when they are the ones who say it. “Your secret is safe with me.” I flash her one last smile before exiting the bathroom.

"Don't you hate getting caught?" "Come on," he said with a slight shrug, "I can keep a secret." I stared at him in disbelief. This guy was serious. "Trust me, I can too." With that said, I whirled around and continued on my way, leaving James with even more determination than before. CHAD AND SANDINO

Until I Met Him The New Beginning Everyone got his own secret that he is hiding away from the world, everyone get a past that they never wants to go back to, everyone got a past life they wants leave behind so do I Kaira. I get a past and a secret that no one knows about a secret I am going to keep away from the world until I take my last breath because that is the only way to keep him secure and away from danger the only way to bring him out of danger.

I proceeded to shut the doors, should anyone decide to break into my lodge to apprehend me. “Clara, are you safe? What happened to your mic?” Someone asked over the phone. Rather than answering the question and sticking to the agreed plan, Clara chose to stare at me like a dummy. She was making me so frustrated. I had the urge to speak up, but suddenly remembered that it would ruin my plan. How will the cops believe that I have escaped if they hear my voice? “Speak fluently,” I whispered in silence. Although it was enough for Clara to hear me, because she was reading my lips.

"To avoid alarming them, we contacted your company and had you come back early. We thought you might refuse, but I'm glad you managed to find me. I'm sorry." I patted his shoulder, signaling him not to worry. I'd suspected Nydia for more than just a day or two. A few times, when I came back from a business trip, I noticed something off about her. But out of consideration for our marriage and Rylee, I hadn't said much. Who knew she was hiding such a dangerous secret behind her smile? I alone couldn't take on all of them. Why not help each other? A few days later, I divorced Nydia.

"So all your indifference..." "Was to keep you safe. There were times I might not have been able to keep the façade up." I feel him smile against my cheek. "It was just so hard to resist you." I pull away, staring into those golden brown eyes. My mate, my mate, my mate. He chuckles, obviously reading through me. I'm sure he can feel my excitement too. Gone is the fear, the panic. "Promise me, no more secrets." He nods, his grip tightening slightly. "I promise."
