2024-10-29 19:42:56I slowly peered my eyes open as it finally sank in.
I kissed my pretend boyfriend, and I initiated it. I bowed my head in shame as I couldn't face him with the stunt I just pulled. I mean, how can I be the one to initiate a kiss when I told him to keep his lips to himself.
'Stupid McKenna. You just had to kiss him, didn't you?' I thought to myself, still looking down.
"Look at me." He said, and I slowly lifted my head to see him leaning closer to me. I could see the dangerous glimmer in his eyes.
I swallowed hard, unable to look directly into his grey eyes. I glanced away and was about to run out of the room in shame when he suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder and pulled me up against him, his mouth anchoring on mine.
Holy mother of all things created, There are fireworks.
The sudden flare of heat and electricity that swept through me startled me into a frozen state where I could hear and see nothing except the sudden

Dixon and Jonathan led me to the 13th floor, where the meetings take place. After a minute or so, the door to the conference room opened, and I was ushered in by Dixon. Everyone stood up concerning the CEO. I noticed how the men do a double-take on me, making me self-conscious. Dixon directed me to a seat on his left-hand side as he sat on the head of the table. He sat down, after which they all settled down. Dixon cleared his throat."Alright, gentlemen, I'd like for us to get started as soon as possible. And in case you haven't noticed yet, we have the CEO of Wright's Enterprises, McKenna Wright, here with us. She'll be here with us for a while." I lifted my head from my tablet and blushed as I saw everyone's focus was on me. I waved shyly, and I could hear a few chuckles around the room, and a few of them smirked."Anyway, tell me about this month's issues or resolutions. As we all know, we're officially planning to open an office in London. We partnered with Wright's
Secret Love Chapter 27.
Dixon's POVI looked over to the blond-haired woman with whom I have fallen so deeply in love with, sitting next to me. The same woman I vowed to love until the day I die, even though she knows nothing about my undying love for her.If I was honest, I was surprised when she kissed me at the office in the morning. It is so much more than I had imagined. If I ever doubted my love for her, I am more than sure now that she's the one for me.I do not know how to tell her. I do not know how to tell her that her brother might not make it out of surgery. I watched as relief flooded her muscles when I lied to her and told her that her brother would be out of surgery soon.I hate the fact that I lied to her or that I couldn't tell her what's going on;20 Minutes Earlier."Go sit, sweetheart." I said to her after noticing how stressed and tired she was. I knew just how worried and scared she is for her brother."Who are
Secret Love Chapter 28.
McKenna's POV."Are you fucking kidding me?" I heard Luke yell, and I jumped away from Dixon as fast as I could. Luke looked back and forth between us before finally settling his eyes on Dixon."I get that you guys are dating and whatnot, but can you not eat my niece's face off during working hours?" He said, taking his seat in front of Dixon's desk."I'm sorry, I can't promise anything. It's not my fault I find the lady alluring." He winked before walking to his seat. He unbuttoned his jacket before taking his place in front of Luke."Can you guys not do that with me here?" Luke groaned. I'm surprised at how well he's taking everything. When he and Ian found out I was dating Jason, they practically roasted the guy alive."Why are you here, Luke? Are you stalking me again?" I said as I crossed my arm across my chest."I'm not stalking you. I just came to see my friend." He shrugged. I looked between both of them suspiciously."What ar
Secret Love Chapter 29.
McKenna's POV.What do I do? I wanted to call Luke and tell him about the note, but I know he's mad at me at the moment.I need to clear my head a bit, I thought to myself. I picked up my phone and called Adeline. She always knows what to do. She picked up on the second ring."Hey, girl. How are you doing?" She said after she picked up the phone."I'm good. Do you think we can maybe meet up for lunch? I have something to discuss with you.""Of course, that shouldn't be a problem. Where should we meet?" She asked. I could hear the shuffles in the background. I know how busy she can be, but she'll never say no when I need her."I'll come to you, and we can go somewhere close to the office.""That's fine too. I'll see you soon?""Definitely," I said and hung up. I stared at the note continuously for a long time. I looked up to see it is almost lunchtime. I still have to drive 30 minutes to get to Wright's Enterprises. I step
Secret Love Chapter 30.
McKenna's POV.I dragged Adeline to the elevator and led her to the floor where my office is situated."You stay on the same floor with Dixxy?" She asked, looking up from her phone."Yeah, why?" I asked just as the elevator's door opened. I moved to step out when someone suddenly crashed into me. I staggered back a little but somehow managed to gain my balance back after a few moments."I'm so sorry, Ma'am. I'm sorry, I was in a rush that I didn't see you there." Jon apologized profusely. I nodded my head, indicating it was fine."It's okay." I smiled up at him after I saw how bad he felt."You okay?" Adeline asked. I nodded my head in positive before looking back at Jon, who still had his head bowed."Weren't you on your way somewhere?" I said. He looked up at me."I was on my way to get you. Mr. Greene buzzed me a few minutes ago and said I have to get you to come back. That's why I was in a rush. I was trying to
Secret Love Chapter 31.
McKenna's POV."The theory that your parents' may still be alive."My body suddenly became so limp. Different emotions enveloped me as I stared at the guy who just told me that all I've ever believed was a lie. I looked at Dixon, praying and hoping that maybe, just maybe, this was a prank."What are you saying? My parents are gone. Everyone knows this. Hell, even the world knows this." I said, not even recognizing my voice. I felt someone hold my hand. I don't need someone telling me. I knew who it was already."I know it's hard to believe, but after all my investigations, I didn't find any trace of them dying," Adam said."What do you mean you didn't find any trace of them dying? Ian's a clear proof. Your theory is real bullshit, and I think you know that too." I yelled at him. What the hell is he saying?"Calm down, Kenny. You have to listen to what h
Secret Love Chapter 32.
McKenna's POV.I smiled into the kiss. I can never get used to this feeling. No matter how many times they kissed, I'll always get swarms of butterflies in my stomach.I brought my hands up to his wrists and let him take control like he always did. The kiss became more rough and sexual. He ran his hands down my body, and he suddenly gripped my hips in his hands. The atmosphere changed dramatically, and Dixon pulled away panting like a wild dog."Jump." He said. I looked into his eyes filled with lust and desire, making something inside her stir. I wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped as I wrapped my legs around him. He placed his hands on my ass, making me gasp. He gave me a smirk as my face heated up even more."Much better." He smiled before kissing me again. I felt him move, but I don't think my brain is even functioning at the moment. I felt him open a door, and we entered another room. I wonder how he do
Secret Love Chapter 34.
McKenna's POV.I let her drag me to my office. How she even knows my office is totally beyond me. She opened the door and stepped in. I watched as her eyes roamed around the room, taking in every single detail."Of course, he'll give you the best office in the building. You have him wrapped around your little finger." She rolled her eyes while I felt my face burn up. I cleared my throat, trying to hide my embarrassment, and scanned the room."There's nothing special about the office, so stop exaggerating." She glared at me while I took my seat. She placed her hands on her hips and looked at me expectantly."What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked her, matching her glare."Was that what made you didn't come to the cafe? You were busy kissing him?" She asked, raising her brows."What? No, he was mad at me. I had to go apologies to him. Was that why you were so ma

Third Person's POV.BANG!It all happened in a split second. Dixon had turned around with a frown on his face as McKenna ran straight at him. But just as she reached him, her body jolted back into him, taking the impact of the bullet. It was the bullet that was to take his life. She took the bullet for him.One of the officers took the gun from Trevor quickly as another shot him in the leg. He let out a scream in pain. Sophie ran into the room, curious as to what caused the noise.Simon stared at the woman that came in with shock evident on his face. What was she doing here dressed as an FBI agent, he thought to himself as they stared at each other. He opened his mouth to say something, but the other agents pushed him and the others out of the room."MCKENNA!" Dixon shouted as he wrapped his arms around her, who came toppling down. Her eyes were filled with pain and tears, enough to make her u

McKenna's POV.Crying is the act of shedding tears in response to an emotional state. But after a certain threshold, even the tears runs out.My tears had long run out, and yet another sun was on the verge of setting. Another sunset without Dixon's arms wrapped around me every night when we'd go to the balcony after dinner to watch the sun disappear on the horizon and how he'd pull me closer when we played games in the living room with Ian and Liam.It had become their thing. A tradition that we never miss. I remember how Dixon would rush through meetings to make it back home in time before the sky is painted in various hues of purples and oranges.

Secret Love Chapter 62.
Third Person's POV.Everyone turned to look at the young woman who walked in like she had no care in the world with Dixon's father. Sophie knew that her coming here was a big step. The guys were intelligent, they would've uncovered the truth by now, but they don't know her mission yet.David stopped in his tracks when he saw his son. The two stared at each other, one not believing his eyes and the other thinking he doesn't want to see him. David moved closer to his son as he enveloped him in a tight hug. He couldn't believe his son was back after everything that had happened. Dixon smiled a little when he saw the exchange. Even though his dad never admits it, he knew how much he missed Leo. Luke saw red, anger coursing through every vein in his body. Sophie was the one that kidnapped her. What the hell was she doing here?"What are you doing here? Where did you take Kenna?" Ian said, his voice dripping with anger and hatred. "Wh

McKenna's POV.I opened my mouth to say something, but no words could form. The pain shooting from the back of my head also isn't helping matters. I watched as she walked to Trevor and placed a chaste kiss on his lips."What are you doing? I don't want my girl thinking we have a thing." He turned to me, an innocent smile on his face, but I knew better. "Don't worry, baby. I'm all yours."What the hell is he saying? He ran his finger down my cheek to my neck. Itried fighting him off, but I couldn't. His touch made my skin crawl, and I did the next reasonable thing I could think of at that moment. I spat on his face.He closed his eyes, letting my saliva trail down the side of his face. He laughed as he wiped it off. My face turned to the side as a harsh slap landed on my cheek. Another kick landed on the side of my stomach, making my insides churn. I swallowed my tears. If they think they can brea
Secret Love Chapter 60
McKenna's POV.My body hurts. I could feel the pain shooting at every single muscle in my body, my head pounding and some liquid flowing down my face. My hand reached out to massage my throbbing temples trying to alleviate some of the pain, but frustration coursed through my body at the inability to move.'Ugh, my head hurts.'I slowly opened my eyes to see that I was in a dark room except for the light peeking through the small window at the top of the room. I looked around the room for a way out, but there's nothing except the window.What am I doing here? How did I get here? I can't remember anything. Think, Kenny. Think. The only thing I seem to remember was the restroom and Sophie. My eyes seem to widen as I finally realized what happened. Yes, Sophie brought me here."Sophie!!! Sophie!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. My head hurts, but I need to talk to her. I'm sure she has he
Secret Love Chapter 59
Dixon's POV.I feel so happy and complete sitting here with Leo like old times. Seeing my brother after so many years has fulfilled me in more ways than one."She's a keeper then?" He asked me some minutes after McKenna left for the restroom. I looked up at him and smiled."Yeah, she is.""I'm proud of you, baby bro. You have no idea how much pride and joy I felt whenever I see you on television.""That weirdly made me feel good." I laughed out. I watched as his countenance changed within seconds. I know that look. He's beating himself up again."I'm sorry, Dix. I should have been there for you when you needed me the most. I should have believed in you sooner. I should've known you're strong enough to fight the disease. I shouldn't have walked out on you that day. I shouldn't---""You really need to stop apologizing. It's all behind us now.
Secret Love Chapter 58.
McKenna's POV.I stared at the building in front of me in disbelief. I can't believe Dixon brought me here. I took my eyes off the building to look at him. He had both hands in his pockets as he stared in concentration at the building."A rehabilitation center?"He shrugged his shoulders before moving closer to the building. I placed my hand on his biceps to stop him. I can't, for the life of me, understand why he brought me here."What are we doing here, Dixon? You said we were going somewhere. I didn't know you were bringing me to a rehab center?""You don't want to come? We could go back if you want. I only came because you promised to come with me." His eyes looked sad as he said that. My brain seemed to receive some signal as I remembered the promise I made him."It's okay. I'm sorry you went through all that. I could go with you if you don't mind."
Secret Love Chapter 57.
McKenna's POV."Well, well, well. If it isn't my favorite cousin."Dixon turned to him, anger emitting from him as he squeezed my hand.I placed my hand on his biceps, giving it a little squeeze, to calm him down. I don't want him getting angry at this event. It's supposed to be our breath of fresh air considering everything we've been through recently."What do you want, Trevor?" Trevor sipped his drink like he had no care in the world. The disgusting smirk on his face irks me to my bone, making my skin crawl."Can't a man be happy for his cousin? I came to celebrate with you. Congratulations on opening a new office, Dix.""Don't you fucking dare call me that!! You have no right." I can see the vein on his neck at this point. He's angry. I just hope he doesn't have a tantrum again. I looked at the man standing in front of me. He had a nasty smirk on his face and a glass with whiskey in his hand. I can't
