The veil of secrets
Last Updated:
2021-08-30 22:49:17A very short chapter but it is going to rotate the story to its 180°.
Sit tight and please don't fall down from your seats.Enjoy folks!...............................................You think I am a good man if only you knew my past,
If only you knew what all sins I have made and which all families I have destroyed.When I can't look at myself and say I love myself, then how can you smile at me and say you love me?"....................................................
Every person has some secrets.
Some not so important and some life-destroying.Every friend keeps a secret if not then no one would trust friendship again.Behind every face you see and every word you hear are secrets meant to be kept.
Some for good, some for bad.But again they are called secrets because they aRelated chapters

"Hatred is the only thing I can afford to see in your eyes for me.For I was surviving on necessity and your love for me was an unaffordable luxury."....................................................Her gloved palms were placed on the golden retriever's chest.The heartbeat was there but a few beats slower.Without wasting a second she had injected the 10-year-old with the required medicine.The dog owner was looking at her with desperate pleading eyes and Elle knew how she felt.Tears were leaking down the dog's eyes and she could see how much it was suffering.Patting its head gently she just hoped it could survive this.Jake stood back with another dose of medicine in his hand and a nod from her side made him inject it."Will....my Sammy be fine?"The owner asked Elle with her eyes still fixed on her 10-year-old co

The next day Ashton was going to the office when Elle returned.She had bags under her eyes and her mood seemed off.Without even acknowledging him she moved to the kitchen pouring herself a glass of water.He stared at her weirdly when he saw her sobbing all of a sudden.Did he do something unintentionally?He questioned himself but came out with nothing.She kept sobbing and drinking water in between and what he feared happened.She started coughing and he was next to her in an instant.Pulling the glass of water from her hands he made small circles on her back.Her breathing came back to normal as she stared at him with big fat tears leaking from her eyes."For god's sake are you trying to choke yourself to death!! Who the hell does that!You either cry or you drink...you don't do them together!"His words made her cry harder and he pulled his hair in frustration."Why are you so damn irritating wo

She looked back up to stare into her husband's cold eyes.He looked mad at her for not following such a simple order.But it was not that easy you see.Before she could even hold his coat and stick to him, others have already stuck to him like bees sticking on honey.This was his personal elevator which she had not noticed the last time she came here.Looking around she found everything to be gold with a mirror at the ceiling."These people are crazy!! Now I know who inflated this big balloon of ego you carry along!"Not bothering of replying her he kept checked the emails on his phone."Who puts a mirror there?"She said pointing to the top of the elevator.Ashton did not even bother to see where this 'there' of hers was."I mean the architect who designed this building was stupid or what? Glass mirror on the ceiling when they should b

You may be able to fool others.To make them believe your hollow laughs and fake smiles,But you can't fool the likes of meA person like me who has mastered the art to talk more with eyes and less with words................................................The silence of an empty office welcomed Elle as Ashton was gone leaving her alone.Her thoughts preoccupied with what has just happened between the two.She could hear her heart thumping in her chest wildly.Her line of thought was broken when she saw Jake calling.Moving towards the washroom she answered in a cheerful voice"Hey, sassy boy! What's up!""Sassy boy? Well that's new!"They both laughed trying to make each other cheerful."How is your mother?""She fell down the stairs and sp

"Can I hug you, Elle?"Elle looked up to see how excited Lorena was.She was nearly jumping with excitement and before Elle could reply she was embraced in her arms.Elle for once felt so wrong about herself.This girl here was everything she didn't think she would be.A throat was cleared in the background and both broke their hug to see a stunned Ashton standing there.His eyes for once looked genuinely surprised."Ash you are back!! I met Elle again today...she is such a sweet girl!"Ashton internally laughed at her statement.Sweet and this girl.She was anything but sweet."I think you forgot your last encounter with her I guess?"He said smirking while placing the files on his table.Elle stomped her foot as Ashton took a hidden glance at her.She gave him exactly the reaction he wanted."Oh that...it was just a bad start... anyways tomorrow Elle is coming to my place and we both are h

A girl said to another with dislike on her face"I don't like your nose,I don't like your eyes,And I especially hate the shape of your lips"The other girl smiled and replied"I thank God that at least I can breathe through this nose, see with these eyes and smile with these lips for even these are a luxury for some people in this world.".............................................He sighed in frustration waiting for her arrival.6:10Was the time Lori told him to fetch her from her house.And it was 40 minutes passed that time already.He was waiting in the parking lot checking his watch, again and again, to only get more frustrated.Lori was usually a very punctual person but today something felt off.She just randomly asked him to come and now s

They sat inside a five-star French restaurant with waiters giving them special treatment.After all who doesn't know who Ashton Lockwood was and what he did.Her eyes were scanning the menu card to only decipher the pictures.The French names went over her head just like the language itself did.Unknown to her as her eyes were scanning the card his eyes were scanning her.In the candlelights, those eyes looked like they were dancing and her lips were opening and closing trying to pronounce the French words in the menu.He felt his junior going out of control and he cursed in his mind.He tried to look down to avoid her face to only make his eyes land on her cleavage.She felt his behaviour to be a bit weird.Not that he was normal usually but today he seemed more abnormal than normal.She followed his gaze and found it extremely uncomfortable.Pulling up the menu card she blocked his view of her cleavage."D

What good are those warm hands?If you don't hug meWhat good are those insulting words,?If you don't mean them.And what good is that cold heart,If it is still beating for me...................................................."Sh**!! Just stop it ugly duckling!! You just had 2 glasses of vine for god sake!"He said running behind her with her purse in his hands.Not bothered by his words she was busy jumping in the muddy puddles.Her giggling was the only sound surrounding them in the deserted parking lot.And he was more annoyed than amused at her.Her tempting dress was now drenched in rainwater from head to toe.With nothing to stop him from assessing her.The dress was sticking to her like a second skin and he could see the shape of her

Surprised he looked down to see her still looking down, but the grip on his wrist in contrast to it."Ash....you should find someone else...I don't fit in your life...I...am a handic-""Shhhh"He didn't let her complete.His eyes looking at her with concern."Never Elle...never say that word."She smiled at him, making him lost in confusion."See Ashton....

His small legs ran at full speed.Eager to see her smiling face since morning.The big door was pushed open by his small body and he frantically searched for the eyes that resembled his.There she sat with her back turned towards him,The windows giving her a full view of the beautiful garden below."Mommy!! I am home!!"The wheelchair turned around on hearing his little voice.Before she could use her hands to move her wheelchair towards him.He had already covered the distance between them.Engulfing her in a hug, he inhaled her blossom fragrance and smiled in her arms.She kissed his forehead to only have her eyes to drift towards the wound at the corner of his lip."Ethan, you are bleeding..oh my god what happened love?"She asked cupping his face in her hands while assessing the wound with her thumb."Nothing maa just that Charlie again...he said ...he was going to say you are crippled...I

She stood at my side ,looking at a beautiful model sending me seductive signs.To only have me grab her tiny wrist and land a punishing kiss on to her tempting lips ."You are the purest beauty of all that stood by my side, with that beautiful smile to light up all my dark nights."................................................................................................7 years later................................................Chaos filled the canteen as everyone rushed to take in the rumoured scene.There at the centre stood two boys with blood flowing from their lips.While one looked badly bruised, others had only a few traces of blood on his lips.There were people holding back the younger one, but the anger in him made even the seniors step back from him.W

He woke up with stiffness in his body.The throbbing in his head had subdued and he looked around anxiously.There stood his mother and father, looking happy for once after so long.The smiles on their faces were genuine, as they stared at something or rather someone.Confused he tried to sit up with the support of his elbows.His eyes fell on a glass box kind of a thing, and his forehead had creases in confusion."Mom?"He called in his hoarse voice, to only have her turn around towards him."Come Son...come here"Confused he stood up and started walking towards her.His hands holding on to the bed for support.As he came closer, the first thing his eyes fell on was a very tiny fist.Intrigued, he stepped forward to have his heart stop for the second time.Except that this time, it was from happiness.

A loud clap was heard in the hallway of the hospital.Ashton closed his eyes, accepting all the pain and humiliation coming his way.The force behind the slap has made his right profile, go numb for a few minutes.And his father's voice was heard as a ringing echo."I am ashamed of you! You don't deserve to be called my son...I....I married you to her....I thought you will love her and cherish her....that innocent soul is there fighting for her life.......tell me Son..tell me what crimes has that girl commit?What was her fault in all this?"Her only fault is that she loved a person like meHis conscience spoke to him.He stood there staring at the tiles floor.Unable to meet his father's disappointed face and his mother's hatred.His collar was grabbed by his father's wrinkled hands, as he shook him to his senses."I wil

I was searching for a beauty that turned heads,To only realise one dayThat thousands are capable to turn heads, but only you are capable to flutter my heart................................................."Excuse me, Sir!A nurse called him with concern evident on her face.But he sat there lost in his own world."Sir!!"Only when she tapped his shoulder did his tired eyes looked up at her."Huh? What?""You wound is bleeding again...I need to clean it"He looked down and nodded.Making the nurse to go and get her supplies.Trail of dried blood was getting cleaned by the cotton dub, but he looked least concerned.His eyes only fixed on the person lying on the hospital bed, with tubes plugged in everywhere.

The deafening silence was all she could hear.Her hearing ability felt impaired for a minute or so.As the high decibels numbed her senses.The realisation came upon her and she tried lifting herself up from her safe corner.Havoc surrounded her.Burning pieces of tires and metal.Black clouds of smoke Suffocating smell of burning rubber.Her eyes only looked for one person, but sadly he couldn't be found anywhere.With heart-throbbing thinking of the worst-case scenario.She managed to come out of the safety of the car through the escape route of a broken window.She looked at the same place where he stood a few seconds ago.Nothing.Moving towards it with shaking legs she cried with desperation."Ash.... please... please be safe......."Tears were rolling down her cheeks without her even kn

Mirror mirror on the wall, never compare beauty to tell who is the prettiest of all.Even you are capable to break down to shreds of glass and then no one will spare you even a single glance.You still ask where to find the purest beauty of all.Then remember the one who dares to mends all your broken pieces of glassAs she deserves to be called the prettiest of all......................................................She stood there welcoming her death.Oblivious to everything else.Those bright headlights coming near her.But sadly she couldn't move a muscle.An unknown tear escapes her brown eyes as she closed them welcoming her tragic fate.24 years of existence was all she got and now she had to bid her farewell.Her thin frame shivered li

...................................................You were blaming it on your destiny,While I was still not done with writing my own.....................................................The stars above were going to be the only witnesses of this night.He thought while gazing at the clear sky above.His fingers tapping on the steering wheel as an old song played on the radio.With the car parked at the side of a deserted road, he sat in calmness that was impossible in such a situation.But then again he was not a normal man, his calmness being much more dangerous than his anger for sure.Checking his watch he sighed with a bored look on his face.10:42The clock showed.There was still time, he thought.The radio lost its signal suddenly, maki
