Dirty Little Secret Chapter 53
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
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 54
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
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 55
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
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 56
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? He saved my life yet again, thanking him is the right thing to do. If he decides to push me away
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 57
It’s been two days since he handed me the book, all the evidence I ever needed to put Gustav in jail. The only problem is, it will also incriminate Lorenzo. I’m staying at Lorenzo’s estate for my safety, now that we have knowledge that the J.J.G clan is also after me. I think Lorenzo is avoiding me. I haven’t seen him since he confessed his love for me. All I’m doing is pacing my room day in and day out, as the last few words he said to me replay in my head over and over like a broken record. “Do with it as you please.” His voice was soft, almost like he couldn’t believe what he just did and then he left the room, leaving me with all the secrets he’s been hiding from the world, to do with as I please.The knowledge is hard to fathom, the pic’s I can’t even look at, to think he was involved, makes me want to throw up. I wanted to leave on several occasions but with Gustav still out there and the J.J.G clan, it is probably best to stay here.Shane went back to his apartment, but he send
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 58
Everyone has a silent voice, one that wants to be heard but even if it screams we still ignore it. Mine is screaming at the top of her lungs, its like a ringing in my ear telling me to just give in and accept this man. Yeah, that would be the easiest route to take, no drama except that of his murderous family members.“Hey, what’s going on in that head of yours?” Lorenzo asks as he sneaks a peek at me before turning his attention back to the road.“Not much, just thinking.” I replied plainly, as I gaze out my window at the tree line whooshing by as we speed past them.“Thinking? Well, that’s dangerous.” He smirks, he sounds a bit amused.“And what is that supposed to mean?” I ask narrowing my eyes at him as my gaze reaches his smug smile.“No, meaning at all. So where are we going?” He ask changing the subject.“To my mom’s care facility, here.” I type in the address on the GPS and the AI starts guiding him. This will be the first time I’ll take a boy or man to my mom, I just never me
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 59
We start driving back to his mansion, a quiet drive, with only the radio playing in the background. I’m enchanted with the beauty of the nature as I gaze out the window. The trees that line the roadside sway gently in the evening breeze, their leaves catching the last rays of sunlight like shimmering confetti. A sense of anticipation starts to stir within me as I start to wonder what awaits me beyond the horizon. As the road curves, I catch a glimpse of the sun, its fiery orb nestled among wisps of clouds, creating a celestial masterpiece. The landscape becomes a tapestry of enchantment.“Sorry.” I mumble, I know I said he can buy me lunch, but the talk with the doctor took longer then I thought. After our long embrace I had the strength to go back inside. We schedule the operation for next week, the payment plan is a bit tight but I’ll find away. I went to see my mom afterward, she was sleeping. A sense of peace washed over me, knowing that she will be okay gave me some peace at leas

Ever since I met Lorenzo I never felt lonely, he filled a hole I didn’t know I had, but when he left my whole world came crashing down and now we are here, at the beginning. His ready to mend my heart but am I ready to give it to him once again? Lorenzo pulls his phone from his pocket and grins. “Come.” He holds out his hand for me to take as he slides the phone back into his pants pocket. A confused frown pulls on my face as I take his hand. “Where to now?” “Dinner.” He flashes me a bright smile as he leads the way. I know I’m not good with directions but the car is in the other direction. “Uh, are you lost?” “Have a little faith, baby girl.” He grins over his shoulder at me as he gently squeezes my hand. We venture deeper into the ancient woods when the path emerged. Adorned with delicate fairy lights that flicker like fireflies in the moonlit night. Their gentle glow guides our way through the woods. My he

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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.“
