A/N: I know most of you are confused. This is still the novel "Will You Keep My Secret?" Just a changed title and cover. Thank you for reading my book!❤️ ••• Navaeh. Getting off the bus, I ran into the bowling place where I worked. Bunny's Bowling was written in red with knocked down pins and almost knocked down pins in it's background was it's logo. "Took you long enough." Koa snapped as soon as I stepped into the locker room. "Geez Koa! Let me breathe." I said taking my seat and heaving heavily catching my breath. "Girl did you run a marathon race?" Bennie asked handing an opened bottle of water. "Ask Fucking Koa. Dude called me and scared the shit out of me. I had to run over here." I said taking a long swig of water. "Well, in my defense, I was just looking out for you." He said and I rolled my eyes. Bennie slapped his back lightly and he paused staring at her. "What? You gon beat me or what?" She asked. She was black as well so she liked me more. "Never." He said and r

Quinnel."What are you doing here?" was the first thing that jumped out of her mouth.I looked up from the picture I was holding to see Heaven standing there.I was really worried when I sent the first text and it went through but she didn't reply. She replied the second one and that was it. She didn't reply the next ones I sent.I had almost gone out to look for her but I didn't know her workplace and her sisters were asleep. I had a talk with them though. They told me about how they felt for Heaven being that she had to take care of them when she's supposed to be enjoying her own teenage life. I felt sorry for her as well. But she always say she doesn't need anyone's pity. So I try not to let it show but I'll be there whenever she needs someone to lean on and give her a shoulder to cry and sleep on when she's way too tired. So help me God."They're in bed?" I asked instead and she nodded her head moving her hand from her mouth to come near me.She awkwardly took a seat beside me a

A/N: Guess who's on fire?! This girl is. I am just joking, please. Enjoy.❤️Navaeh.One Month later.Pushing my legs into my black sneakers, I stood up and adjusted my skirt."Stupid skirt." I muttered."Let's go! And I don't want any yapping this morning." I said and walked out of the door pulling my bag more closer."Umm Vee?" Aelin called cautiously and I turned around with a glare.She whimpered and ran to the back of her sister shielding herself."You haven't given us our pocket money." She said and I glared reaching for the side of my bag.I pulled out the two ten dollar bill and slammed it into their hands."I pity her friends at school today." I heard Aerin say."Her friends?! I pity everyone that's going to talk to her." Aelin replied and I stopped.The next thing I saw, the two of them were in front of me holding hands while I followed behind them.I released a sigh and then grunted.Wonder why I'm being corky this morning? That's because mother Nature decided to happen! Fuc

Quinnel's POVI looked down at Heaven sleeping peacefully on the bed. I looked up at the IVF connected to her arm as she slept.The Nurse said nothing was wrong with her that she just needed rest and having lost her energy, she placed her on a dose of IVF. Zaire, Ashley and Connie left some minutes ago and I was still here.I insisted on staying with her till she was awake and ready to go home. I already took her phone and had her fingerprint unlock it. I scrolled through her contacts until my eyes landed on Koa. I checked through her call logs and found out it was Koa that called her that afternoon due to my calculations of the date and time.I called him and he didn't pick at first ring. I tried again and then he picked up talking in hushed voice."Hey baby." He said and I frowned. Baby? Who the heck is this guy? I thought they were just work partners."This isn't Heaven." I said."Heaven? Who is Heaven? Isn't this Navaeh's phone? Dude, where is Navaeh?! You had better not even thi

Navaeh."But really I still can't believe those two are Twins." I said and I saw him turn his head away from the street up ahead to me briefly before his head returned to it's former position."Well, the semblance is actually there." He replied with a low voice making me roll my eyes at him in annoyance."Did he tell you himself?" I asked and I saw him purse his lips. "Zaire, I mean." I added."Nah. Found out the first day I saw the both of them." He replied and I rolled my eyes yet again.Bluff."I just want to go home and rest. Just sleep like a log of wood!" I exclaimed and his chuckle resonated in my ears.I turned to him to see an amused smile on his lips bringing my own too to life."Then do." He taunted.My smile fell."Are you mocking the fact that I have a job to go to and you know fully well that I do?" "Of course not. You don't have to go to work though." He said and I gave a dry laugh."Why? Cause you're my boss or you're willing to me a job in your company that's in the

Quinnel.I watched Heaven converse with her siblings and Caspian directing them on what to do while they all did what she asked.She was like the supervisor doing absolutely nothing."Explain to me again why Heaven is just supervising?" I asked and all eyes turned to me. Even Heaven stopped in her steps."Uhh, cause I'm going to put the toppings on the batter and put it in the oven. That part is all me." Heaven replied shrugging while the three kids nodded their heads before going back to what they were doing.I let out a huff and then bam! I heard a sound next to me."You're not chopping the meats, Mister Ashford." Heaven said beside me smiling at me in an oh so fake way.I shivered and immediately raised the knife cutting the meat."Not too big, not too small." She said again and I nodded immediately chopping it."Good Job." I heard again and she walked away from me giggling evilly."Oh God." I said with a sigh and took my seat.She's like a very strict chef.Finally, we were all do

Quinnel"Hey, Man!" Zaire yelled waving at me. He was dressed in a blue and yellow tank top and shorts with white Nike Air sneakers.He knew I was coming to him yet he chooses to yell and wave at me from afar. Sometimes, I feel like he behaves so weirdly. And that was exactly what I told him when I reached him."Dude, you're so weird." I said dropping the ball to my feet."Dude you're so weird." He replied mimicking."Dickhead." I muttered and shook my head."I hope you brought a bottle of water?" He started catching the ball swiftly as it bounced up and down."No, why?" I asked and he smirked at me."Why not? You would need it to cry into." He said and like that he was off running to the basket."Dude, that's not fair! That's so against the rule. You don't start a game when the opponent isn't ready." I yelled after him."Rules? I don't remember talking about one," He said and I stopped glaring at him.He threw the ball in his hand over his head and into the basket behind him."Oh, an

Navaeh.Pushing the door to the Teacher's office open, I saw a bunch of teachers talking about random stuffs which they all kept quiet once I was there."Good Morning." I greeted.Some answered with grunts and some cheerfully. I definitely don't want to become a teacher."Navaeh. Come in. Come in.""Good Morning, Mrs Elsher." I greeted walking towards her."Morning dear. I see you got my message?" She said and I nodded my head."Good. Good. I want you to help me with the collection of the assignments. The ones I gave when you were not in class? Oh right, that reminds me. Are you feeling okay now?" She asked."Yes ma'am." I replied and she grinned."So I need the assignments on my desk in the class by lunch. Here..." She paused rummaging through her locker. I heard keys jangling before she pulled it out to reveal... Keys. A bunch of them."Here's the key to my class. Just open it and place the assignments on the table." I looked down at the keys in my hand and almost blew up in surpri

Love and Secrets Epilogue
In the school hallway that led to the auditorium. Students were filing out of the auditorium with shock on their faces. They discussed what they had just heard in twos, threes, groups... Even people that had never talked to each other in their whole lives talked to each other! "I can't believe Amelia would do something like that." "I know right? It's really confusing. She didn't seem to hate Navaeh. She greeted her once in a while." "Exactly. Those you never think would do something are the ones that stab you in the back." "Those that chose to believe Navaeh are really wise." "I know right? The poor girl had to work to cater her siblings need and someone used that against her? How horrible." "But I have to give kudos to Navaeh. I have trouble babysitting my junior brother that is even 10! But she has to take care of her two siblings that are half his age! And they're two!" "Me too! She's really trying." "I pity her. How could a hardworking student be called a slut just like t

"So this is the house where the IP address was tracked to?" Navaeh asked turning to Quinnel who gave me a nod. They were all standing in front of a house that was constructed with wood that had almost fallen unto the house. The woods had been eaten by woodpeckers yet it seemed someone was living in it since there was light in what they presumed to be the kitchen."Ready to find out who it is?" Zaire questioned Navaeh and she nodded her head."We need a plan first. Whoever is in there won't just say they indeed did it, you know?" Ashley asked and Navaeh nodded her head slowly."Okay, Jake and Zaire... You guys should go maybe into the person's room, get the person's phone or a laptop of a sort... Any device the person might have used to post it.""Why?" Jake asked Ashley."We're going to need evidence you know? You can't just barge into the school and say so so is the person that framed our baby. No one would believe you without an evidence. People would think you're desperate to cle

"Who do you guys think did it?" Jake asked looking at Quinnel and Zaire.Zaire looked at Quinnel who shook his head lightly."Maybe we can get a hacker to help us track down the IP address of the poster?" Jake asked and Zaire and Quinnel looked up at him immediately.Presently, they were in the cafeteria with students chatter all over the room. And the word on their lips was about the post.No one. Absolutely no one could guess who posted it. They thought Navaeh was someone loved by the whole school so something like this happening was absurd."IP address?" Zaire asked foolishly and Jake shook his head."Yes. An IP address is your house internet address of a sort. It's like, when you have that number... You already know whose house the internet is coming from. Simple as that. But you can't just randomly find it. Cause the IP address is like the key to your house internet. But, a hacker can access the internet and find someone that posted it by tracking down the IP address. Simple as t

Navaeh's breath was laboured as she scrolled down the article reading it. Her head was muddled yet her brain could process the words she was reading.Her tears had started to choke her threatening to fall off her eyes and roll down her cheeks but she blinked them away and continued reading."Everyone knows the queen diva, right? Navaeh Thatcher. The awesomely straight A student. Her first position has never been threatened not once but not for long.What if I told you, she isn't all she seems? All perfect and all that? What if I told you, it was all a facade? What if I told you her parents neglected her?Not only her... Her siblings included. She has always had to cater for the needs of her siblings all by herself yet she comes to school like all is well.Making so many people jealous of her! It's unfair! She's the one with the wrecked home! She's the two faced one.All of you who call yourselves her friend, have you ever for once been to her house? Met her parents? Have you seen her

"Hey guys!" I called pushing the door to the house open.I had planned with Beatrix the day before to drop my sister's off at our house instead of going to her home.I meant to give them a surprise so I didn't tell them I was coming home even when we talked this morning. So they have no clue and today is Saturday so it's really the best."Did you hear that?" I heard from upstairs and I grinned."Hear what? You keep hearing things." "I'm not hearing things! You're the one with the bad ears.""I don't have a bad ear." "Yeah sure. I'll believe you when it doesn't snow on Christmas.""You know that's impossible.""Exactly. "I shook my head and pushed the door to their room open. Immediately, before I even step in, they shrieked out loud."Help!""A burglar!""I told you I heard something!""Well? This is not the time to argue! And defend your point or whatever it is you're doing! We're about to get burgled or worse, kidnapped!"I rolled my eyes while shaking my head and threw my duffel

Who do I know in New York? No one. Absolutely no one.So imagine my surprise when I hear, "It's really you guys."I'm like, what?! Am I about to be kidnapped by someone who claims to know me? Oh, Quinnel is here to help. But what is he is whisked away as well before he gets to say a word?! Ah! Stop being dramatic!I turned around to come face to face with a brown haired woman beaming with smiles. Directed at us. Woman, I don't know you!I subconsciously gave the woman a once over and nope, I don't know her.I glanced over at Quinnel to see his brow was already raised at the woman's face in confusion.He doesn't know her. Wait, he is supposed to know her. Why won't he know her? Cause I don't know her!So how does she know me?"Were you talking to us?" Quinnel asked and the woman's smile faded."Aren't you... Leo?""Leo?" Quinnel repeated in shock and she nodded her head vigorously.She turned her head to me."And she's...""Not the person you're looking for." I cut her off before s

With an angry sigh, I walked up to them like a jealous girlfriend. God, I feel like a jealous girlfriend! "Hey, Nell." Did you seriously have to use that nickname? Ugh! I'm mentally face palming myself right now. "Hey, Heaven." He greeted with a smug smile that I knew too well. He was going to tease me about it later on. Stupid hunk! I turned my eyes away to the girl that still had a smile on her face. "You must be Heaven. I'm Rose." She said suddenly stretching her hand to me. Though feeling awkward, I accepted her hand with my eyes on Quinnel demanding an explanation. He shrugged in return and I rolled my eyes at him. Never helpful! "Guess I don't need to introduce myself anymore. I'm Heaven." Is that even my name? It's Quinnel that calls me that! "Nice name." "Could say the same about yours as well." I replied with a tight smile. "Well, I guess I'll get going then. See you guys." She greeted waving at us. "Never." I muttered once she was gone out if earshot. Quinnel

After we left the cafe, it was in the evening when Coach said he wanted to show us all something.We obliged and dragged ourselves out of bed, well I did, and trust me while I say this. It was indeed worth it!We stopped when we got to a brightly lit place that was bustling with people despite the fact that it was in the evening.Different companies and shops had their front light on and it wasn't white! It was more like neon colors. Well, it was beautiful.I saw a neon sign of McDonald's. This was a very beautiful place! It would be a waste if we didn't get to see it before we left!"Times Square is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment hub, and neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is formed by the junction of Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and 42nd Street. Together with adjacent Duffy Square, Times Square is a bowtie-shaped space five blocks long between 42nd and 47th Streets.""Brightly lit at all hours by numerous billboards and advertiseme

The song that was playing in the background had changed to Let Me Down Slowly by Alec Benjamin. "How did you guys find us?" I asked before moving the cup of my strawberry smoothie towards my mouth. "He asked." Quinnel replied nudging his chin towards Jake who was looking at the steam of his coffee get off his juice. Then his eyes would follow it until it disappeared before he looked back down at the cup to follow it again. I blinked at him before Quinnel slapped his arm lightly. "Hey, steam boy... You okay?" He asked and Jake blinked at us looking round the table before he nodded slowly. "Yeah, why? And why are you calling me steam boy?" "Uhh... Cause you were using your eyes to follow the steam?" I asked and he smiled at me before his smile fell and he looked down looking all pouty. Ashley sighed rubbing his back. I was about to say something when I saw the pink haired girl stand up. She gathered her load stuffing it in an off white coloured tote bag before she stood properly.
