Dirty Little Secret Chapter 49
In the dimly lit bowels of a desolate house, a cold dark basement serves as the macabre prison for all his enemies or people who knows to much. My eyes flutters open and I feel the ropes scarfing against my skin, I’m bound to a chair, my head is pounding from the blow as my blurry vision starts to take in my surrounding. The atmosphere is chill, in the distance I can hear the dripping of water echoing through the labyrinth of underground pipes. The floor, coated in a layer of grime and filth, seems to suck away any warmth that dares to approach. Chains and shackles, cruel instruments of confinement, clung to the walls. Is this his torture chamber? Its walls, cloaked in a moldy veil of dampness, exuding a musty odor that clings to the air like a haunting specter. The only source of illumination came from the feeble, flickering light bulb hanging from a rusty chain. I hear the door crack open and one of the big guys comes strolling in, slicing and dicing an apple.“You finally came to,

The first light of dawn paints the skyline with delicate strokes of pale pink and gold, as the sun rises and brushes his golden fingers against my cold, pale skin. A surreal stillness settles upon the deserted streets as we speed down the road. My heart is still pounding, like a caged bird desperate to break free. The remnant of a sleepless night clung to my weary eyes, making the world out side blur into a dreamlike haze. Confusion and fear courses through my veins as the event plays on repeat in my mind, what would have happened if Lorenzo didn’t show up? Would I be in a body bag? The thought sends a shiver down my spine, as exhaustions cruel hand brushes over my eyes and sends me into a deep sleep. When I come to, I’m in a warm comfy bed dressed in an oversized T-shirt that smells just like Lorenzo. “Good morning dear, or more like afternoon.” Miss Williams, warm kind smile greets me. “Steven, brought you here, at the crack of dawn. Your dress was all ripped and looked like a

The ground beneath me trembles as I approach him. My heart rate quickens with every step I take, “Lorenzo.” My voice barely audible. “I’m going home.” The trembling stops and so does my heart, his eyes pierce my soul as he turns to face me. “Clara must be worried sick and Michael…”“Your boy toy.” He growls as his eyes darken.“It’s not like that, we..”“Please, Lilly-Ann, for once just keep quiet.” The storm calm down, his voice soft and gentle, but for some reason I fear it even more then the yelling. “I don’t care what he is to you or what your relationship is, but if I find him….” A deadly smile pulls on the corner of his mouth as he strokes my jaw. “He’ll wish he was never born.” I gulp, his touch is cold and firm, weakening my body.“I don’t understand.” My eyes searching his for answers, but they are like close doors keeping all his secrets hidden.“He sold you off, Lilly-Ann, he used you to lure in my uncle.” Lorenzo turns his back to me, “You have know idea what you walked in

Speechlessly I stare into his eyes. That question I can’t answer, I don’t know how. Do I still love him or is he just a bad habit? One I keep yearning for, with the awkward silence passing between us and only the melody of the wind brushing through the tree branches as company. My mind starts to replay all the memories we made together. Every kiss, every fight, runs in my mind like a race horse. My head drops as a sigh escapes me. “Honestly……” A brief pause, as I gather my thoughts. “I want too, I want too love you again like I did, but….” I lift my gaze to his. “I don’t know if it is possible and if that means that you won’t help me….” My heart starts racing as a sharp pain clams my chest. “ I’ll have to accept it and figure it out on my own, like I always did.” A faint smile paints my face. “I’ll find a way.” I mumble.Lorenzo let’s out a chuckle, “Oh my sweet baby girl, you never have to do something on your own ever again and I’ll find a way to earn your love once again, because l

Sometimes I wish I can just fade into nothingness or so I thought, but all I really wanted was to be found. Ever since I’ve met Lorenzo my heart felt whole again, my smile real and my soul warm. I found my reason to live, to enjoy life and the person I want to share it with. We had our rough patches along the road, but we found away to conquer it, together. With a battle ahead and my life hanging on a thread, all I wish for now is to be wrapped up in Lorenzo’s warm embrace, till kingdom comes. He found me and pulled me out of my darkness and for that I will be for ever grateful.My phone buzzes breaking the stillness of the empty room. Shane, he must be worried sick.“Hey, Shane sorry fo…”“Hello lil Miss Anderson, Shane can’t talk to you now, his kind of tied up.”“Gustav.”He let’s out a chuckle. “Correct!”“Where is Shane?”“Oh, your friend, well my boys needed a new punching bag, so I grabbed him, it was really easy to convince him to come, you see…”“What do you want?”“What ever

There is nothing that hurts as much as betrayal, it hurts in every fiber of your being, it stings your soul like nothing else. To be betrayed by someone you considered your friend, your partner. Is not something you can forget easily.“Michael!” I feel my tears run down my cheeks, the wounds he inflicted were not merely physical, but a deep, emotional gash, a tender scar to my very soul. A trust I once given so freely, became a precious commodity, tarnished by reality. Why? Why him? Of all people, why did he betray me?I want to strangle him with my bare hands, I want to watch the life disappear from his eyes. “Why?” I mumble as I calm my breathing.“Easy, everyone has a price.” Michael smirks as he kneel in front of me. “And he made me an offer I can not decline. You see sunshine, I knew I would never stand a chance with you, not while Lorenzo holds your heart. So when he approached me after you rejected me yet again and told me he can help me remove the problem, I couldn’t say no. H

When the odds are slim to none and you know there is no way you can get out. Just take a deep breath and remember, the harder the battle, the sweeter the victory.The veil of darkness obscured my vision, the sound of men yelling in pain echoes through the room. My breathing hitch as a pare of cold hands run down my arm. I feel the panic rise in my chest, Is he my doom or my savior? “Shane!?” I yelled at the top of my lungs, with a trembling voice, trying to top the screams of those in pain. “Shane!” My throat started to burn, one hand clasp my mouth shut as a warm breath brushes against my ear. “Shhhh” It whispers and the cold hands start working on the ropes once again.With one hand free, I start to fight my dark stranger. “Cool it, Lily.” The stranger whispers as he pins my hand to my side. That nickname, I know this voice.“Jaxson?” I ask uncertain.“Hey, sweet Lily flower” His voice cool and charming as he let’s go of my hand. “Now be still and very quiet or else you’ll get us bo

Facing the unknown is a really scary thing, but we do it anyway, that’s just our humanly nature, we call it live. We do it everyday, it’s like that saying goes, no one knows what tomorrow might bring, well I don’t know what this next few seconds will bring. I don’t know which Lorenzo awaits me, the soft kind and gentle one or the raging beast with flaring nostrils and bulging veins. After everything I’ve been through, all the pain and all the horrors, I doubt there is much I can not face. I’m like a phoenix rising from the ashes of hurt and regret. I’ve been scarred but it will heal.As the car comes to a stop, so does my world stop spinning. My tears has run dry, my heart has stop beating, I’m a shell of a person. Jaxson place his hand on my shoulder as a earnest smile tugs on his face. “His waiting for you in the study.” I give him a small nod. I could run and hide, but for what reason?

She gave me a be careful speech after realizing my mind is made up, I will not run anymore. I smothered Ever-Lee with kisses and shed a few tears as I watch them disappear.“We should talk,” I say over the phone as Lorenzo answers on the first ring. “Meet me at the office.” I end the call, I didn’t give him a chance to replay or to even say a word, I’m out for blood and Gustav is at the top of my list, but I will need help, and who better to ask than a mafia boss?I have a solute plan in mind the when, where and everything.

The smell of coffee and freshly baked croissants fills the air as we enter. Vicky is carrying Ever-Lee to an open table in the corner and I place an order for us. That is when my eyes caught the newspaper.I grab it from the counter and my whole world comes crashing down. Gustav Lenkov, realest from prison, he is a free man. “No this can’t be happening.” My hands are shaking, he will be out for blood and Rayon will be the first one he wants revenge on. “Ricardo,” I mumble and scramble to fish my phone out of my pocket. My fingers are numb and I can’t seem to dial.I inhale a long sharp breath, calm yourself Lilly-Ann, you're jumping to conclusions again, he might be a changed man and won’t even hurt a fly. But just in case, I hit the call button.“Hey, sis.”“Clara, are you okay? And Ricardo?”“We are fine, what’s wrong Ann, did something happen, you sound terrified.”“Did you see the newspaper?”“Oh, n hadn’t had a chance.”“Gustav is out of prison, I think he might try something, pl
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 77
The next morning I’m like a lovesick puppy, racing through the apartment to get everything done, so I can go to work and see Lorenzo again. I had no shut-eye I couldn’t stop thinking about him and his promise, which I want to talk to him about. How close of an eye did he keep on me, is my apartment bugged and do I have people following me? And then the question that has been bugging me the whole night, what happened with his engagement? I haven't seen him in the tabloids at all, it’s like he disappears from the face of the earth, poof gone.“So is that a yes or a no?” Shane asks, drumming the kitchen table with his fingers.“Uh, maybe,” I replied a bit confused.“You didn’t hear a word I said?”I sip shyly on my coffee hiding my face behind the cup. “Sorry.”“What has gotten into you? You are acting weird. Is it a man?” Shane grins and moves closer to me.I almost choke on my coffee.“I knew it.” Shane slams on the counter making m and Ever-Lee jump, “Is it someone I know?”Ever-Lee s

Every piece of my being is consumed by his darkness, it is arousing every piece of light I had and changing it into his.His dark eyes are pulling me in, like a moth to a flame. I’m lost in his presence, my heart is pounding out of my chest as he slowly stalks closer to me. “Stop,” I warn breathlessly. My heart, mind, and soul want to leap into his arms and wrap myself up in his warmth but…. “You have no right showing up here.” I’m a mother now and he is a threat to my only piece of happiness.“I have all the right in the world, baby girl,” A smirk pulls on his face as he looks at me.“I’m not baby girl, I’m Lilly-Ann, Lilly-Ann Anderson, Editor-in-Chief of The money maker magazine,” I say proudly narrowing my eyes at him as he slowly walks towards me with a proud smile on his face.“I know.” He whispers in a mischievous tone. “And you will always be my baby girl.” A grin that can light up the whole of London paints his face, he stops right in front of me, his eyes burning into my sou
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 75
It has been a year, Ever-lee Anderson, had made her way into the world. Yeah, not Eva or Eve-Lee. Shane said Ever-Lee because she took forever to emerge. I didn’t have the energy to fight him on the name so Ever-Lee stuck. My sister and Ricardo visited for a few days after Ever-Lee’s birth but with all the drama with her work she couldn’t stay long, but I think she missed Nick too much to stay longer, she just use work as an excuse.

Today is her four-month celebration and my return to work, I’ve been in and out, but today I’m ready to stick around, which I’m a bit nervous about.

Chad also insisted that I bring Ever-Lee to work, he set up a cot and everything I need in
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 74
Dusk brushes over the city and for the first time in a long time, I feel lonely. I had just made an agonizing decision, one that I might regret in the near future. I walked away from the man I loved, I had known for a while that our paths can not intertwine any longer. My heart feels heavy with the overwhelming love I still feel for him. I sink my head into the pillow and feel the anchor pulling me deeper into the realms of loneliness.A familiar creak of the door closing reverberates through the stillness. I jerk up to see who my intruder is.“Ann? You still awake?” Clara whispers as she tiptoes to my bed.“Yeah…” I flick the bed lamp on and push my body up. “I don’t think sleep is an option for me.”Clara sit next to me and looks at me worried. “You need rest, it's not good for you or the baby.”Easier said the done, I can’t get his face out of my head, that shattered look in his eyes. ”I know.” I pull my pillow to my chest and hug it tight, “But you didn’t see him.”“Ann, he is eng
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 73
Have you ever experienced one of those earth-freezing moments when time and everything around you seem to come to a standstill? Well, I just did. My hands press hard against his strong chest as I try to breathe. He grips my wrist in his hand and bends down to my ear.“Not in public, baby girl.” His breath fans over my skin leaving goosebumps in its wake. I blink my eyes rapidly as I gulp down the last of my sanity. “Now if you would please excuse me.” Lorenzo strolls away leaving me spellbound, with my fingers prickling from our touch.Clara comes strolling by. “Hey, what’s the matter?” She furrows a brow, “Are you feeling sick?” “Huh?” I jerk my head in her direction as I lose sight of him. “Did you say something?”“Ann, what’s going on?” She looks at me with a concerned look in her eyes.“Nothing, nothing at all.” I know Clara only met him once but fuck he is not the forgettable type, how could she invite him. I check the guest list to see if his name is on it, but it’s not.“
