It didn't take long for Dixon to register what had happened.
"McKenna." He muttered as he dashed out of the living room, running frantically up the stairs. It wasn't long before he pushed the door open and barged inside.
McKenna was standing in the middle of the room with Luke on the opposite end. Luke had his hand on his cheek, and Dixon's lamp, which was previously on the bedside table, was shattered on the floor.
"Princess, what happened? Are you alright?" Dixon said as his breaths calmed down, seeing her awake and safe.
"He---He scared me." She said, pointing at Luke, who still had his hand on his cheek.
"Was that enough reason to break my face with the freaking lamp?" Luke replied. Dixon looked between both of them, trying to sniffle his laugher.
"I didn't break your head. Stop exaggerating."
"You would've i

McKenna's POV. "Luke, do you remember Alarick from when I was younger?" I don't know what happened yesterday, but something in me changed. I remembered. Fragments of memories from when I was young, memories I thought I had lost. Luke looked at me, shocked. I get why he's surprised. I never talked about my past before the accident. I despised the fact that everyone had those memories, and I didn't. My family understood this, and they respected my wishes. Dixon had his hand in the air with his coffee mug in his hand. "You hate talking about your childhood, Kenny. What's wrong? Are you okay?" Luke said. I took a strip of bacon in my mouth and chewed. I shrugged my shoulders in response. Luke sighed as he placed his cup on the table. He looked curiously at Dixon, who only shrugged in response. "What's with the sudden questions about Alaric
Secret Love Chapter 45.
McKenna's POV.I don't know how long I sat there. The memories of my brother and Alarick kept playing again and again in my head.I remember when I used to wish I had my memories. When I'll secretly cry myself to sleep every night, knowing that my family were treading softly around me, not knowing what they can and cannot say. Now that it's coming back to me, I'd rather I don't have them.Ian.He's still asleep, and it's scaring me. I feel so helpless. I wish I could do something, anything to help him.A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. I look up to see who came in."Can I come in?""You'd come in anyway, so you don't need to ask me." He smiled before taking a seat beside me on the bed."I'm sorry. For pushing you to talk like that." Luke said with his eyes trained on mine. A sigh escaped my lips

McKenna's POV."Sophie Sparrow. Ian's nurse."Do you ever get that feeling like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Do you feel like there's no one in this world that you could trust because everyone seems to stab you in the back for no just reason? Do you also ever feel like you've been spammed with different emotions all at once that you don't seem to know which one is most prominent?That's exactly how I feel right now. I can't describe it. What I'm feeling is inexplicable.Anger, pain, sorrow, and betrayal ran down my veins all at once. I can't seem to process any of them."Are you sure, Adam?" Dixon asked after a long period of silence. Adam looked at him with a raised eyebrow before letting out a sigh."You should know I'm the best at what I do. I wouldn't joke or lie about something like this.""Why would Sophie want to hurt

Dixon's POV.It was currently nine o'clock, and McKenna is still getting ready upstairs with Adeline. I was shocked when I saw her going into McKenna's room a few minutes after my bath. She gave me a thumbs-up with a bright smile on her face before going into her room."How long does it take to get dressed? They've been up there for the past two hours now." Adam whined, making raise my head from my phone to look at him. I rolled my eyes at him before bringing my attention back to my phone."Aren't you going to go drag them out of there? I will go if you can't." He said again. The guy never knows when to shut up. He acts a lot more like a kid most times. In my opinion, Liam is far more mature."I honestly don't get why you're bothered. It's not like it's your date. It's mine, but you don't see me complaining, do you?""That's because when it concerns McKenna, you're practically a dummy." He rolled hi

McKenna's POV.I looked around the place. This place was unbelievably beautiful. As far as I can see, there was clear water and lush, green plants around. There's not a single house in sight to disturb the resident of this house. A cool breeze blew in my direction, and a chill ran down my spine from the cold. I think Dixon noticed cause he spoke right after."Let's go in, yeah?" I nodded my head in excitement, eager to see the rest of the house.We passed over the small bridge to the other side of the lake. The water beneath us was so clear and calm. The flow of the water was so soothing to my senses. This place is so peaceful.The house looked really serene and beautiful from a distance. Lacing his fingers with mine, he led me to the house. We stepped through the stones especially carved out as a pavement for the main door of the house."Wow. It's so breathtaking and gorgeous." I ogled
Secret Love Chapter 49.
McKenna's POV.I would've never guessed that he went through so much.I pulled him close to me as I tried to calm him down. This is the first time I've ever seen him so vulnerable as he was now. The way his shoulders shook with quiet sobs and the way he was clinging to me as if to ask me to take that pain away broke my heart. I wish I could. I would do anything to take his pain away.Because I was in love with him.He seemed to have calmed down a bit. He detangled himself from me before letting out a low chuckle."I'm sorry. God, I'm just so weak." He mumbled to himself. I shook my head in negative at him. I took his face in my hands as I turned him to face me."No. You're not weak, not at all. You are only human. It's okay to show that you're sad once in a while. It's okay to be vulnerable." I said, hoping I could help ease his pain. I honestly suck at comfo

McKenna's POV.'It smells so good.' I felt my stomach growl at the thought. Whatever it is that smells this good had my mouth watering even in my sleep.I fluttered my eyes open slowly as the scent felt stronger. I sat up and rubbed my eyes just a little. When I was finally able to see, I was immediately taken aback when I saw that it was already dark outside. Whoa, how long was I asleep for?The scent has my mouth watering again. It was coming from the kitchen. I jumped out of the bed as I ran my hands through the bird's nest that had formed on my head. I followed the delicious smell as I tried to find the kitchen.Reaching the kitchen, I saw Dixon working his way skillfully around the kitchen. He was busily stirring something on the stove, and boy, does it smell good. I let my eyes go through his features, and I suddenly felt rooted in my spot. He had changed his clothing.He was

McKenna's POV."I'm in love with you, Dixon." A huge smile broke out on his face, and he pulled me closer to himself as he captured my lips in a steamy kiss.I felt Dixon stand up and made his way somewhere. It's a surprise he didn't even break the kiss at all. Dixon kicked a door open and laid me on the bed. He broke the kiss and got on top of me before staring into my eyes."Say that again." He asked. I looked at him in confusion, not getting what he was talking about."What you told me in the living room, Say it again." My eyes widened in realization."What was that? I honestly don't remember saying anything to you.""McKenna! Stop torturing me! I know I heard you say it. Just say it again."I grinned. It was so fun seeing him all sweaty and shaky. I took pity on him before touching the side of his face and brought it down so I could press a kiss on the c

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
Secret Love Chapter 63.
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. He'd kiss me softly as the last hue of orange disappeared, and I remember feeling like the happiest girl in the world.Dixon.He would have noticed her missing by now. I can't even imagine the pain and worry that he and every other person will

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
Secret Love Chapter 61
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
