The Dark Secrets Chapter 5
5An hour had passed away being alone while admiring others from afar. I stood somewhere in the corner and watched couples dancing adeptly, it was a pleasant sight to the eyes and throughout I started swaying around after one glass of champagne and a few shots of tequila. Yeah, it’s been a hell of a ride in quite an hour. Thanks to constant worries.I closed my eyes, my smile grew wider as lyrics registered momentarily in me, I was totally lost in the rhythm and melodies every beat was offering me. “Excuse me, Miss.” it felt like someone was calling out for me but I only responded with a snigger. But then I heard it again, “Miss…?” this time I opened my eyes to check out if someone was really looking out for me. I turned around to find a tidy waiter presenting me his warm smile, “Yes?” I frowned at him with the same potential as he was offering. “Miss. I’m sorry to disturb you but I need to inform you that Miss Eliana -your friend- is asking for you in her private cabin,” informed
The Dark Secrets Chapter 6
6All I could hear was my deep breaths, I had darkness all around me and I couldn’t fathom how I could help myself get through it, the black and white shades were surrounding me and I was finding a way out. Suddenly a manly voice echoed, “hey hot piece,” it travelled across my mind like a bullet, “whassup huh? how’s you doing,” his voice was making me obnoxious, wanting me to get it out through some way but I was unable to throw it out, instead, It grew further. All the scene happened with me in the club replayed like a movie, making me unsteady to feel loath each time I heard that man’s voice and then out of nowhere another man’s punches him, Who was he? My eyes wide-opened, I was hugging a pillow which was trapped in between my thighs too, I turned straight, inhaled deeply to get some fresh and lessen this hateful feeling after the nightmare, I raised my head, looked to my right to find open curtains, crystal sunlight passing brightening the room all around, giving my eyes a ple

7Before I could click on the messages, the screen went black and showed no sign of life. “Shit!” I cursed in annoyance. I went to my room, fetched the charger to plug my phone in the switch, I sat on my bed and again my lower abdomen started hurting badly, I stood up and staggered towards the bathroom, I got in and the first I saw in the mirror was a bruise on my neck. “What the actual fuck!” I left shocked. It was like my eyes would come out of their sockets. I kept cursing and took off my shirt, The bruises which I didn’t want to call hickeys were all over my chest and stomach. I started panting heavily due to the horror these hickeys brought. “Oh My God,” I couldn’t control my watery eyes to flow down. And what would happen when Eliana would see it? Oh no, she wouldn’t see it, I can’t risk it. My teeth cluttered in fear. Liam, if he saw me having this, he would’ve killed me by now. After this thought, I went hysterical. I could feel terror balling up in me. I inhaled heavily
The Dark Secrets Chapter 8
8“We’re starting with you, lovebird.” She raised her left eyebrow, plastering a smirk on her face. Don’t call me that, El! “Start what?” I counter-questioned hesitantly. I hoped she wouldn’t notice my slightly cracked voice. “How was the party for you? Banged a guy or came home sober?” she winked and started rocking me. I smiled faintly and lowered my gaze to the ground in shyness, I probably was blushing. “Look at this red mess!” she teased. She knew I became edgy from such other-guy-involved-questions. “No, nothing guys thing happened to me (or at least I don’t believe it) I… came home, sober!” I kinda tried to shoo her but she was planning to exaggerate longer -her face told me. This side of Eliana I had never liked. She always thinks pulling someone’s leg makes other people feel butterflies in the stomach but it’s totally the opposite of what I felt every time she did this with me. It was exasperating me. “Like I believe you. When did you reach home?” Okay, that’s where I lef
The Dark Secrets Chapter 9
9 3 Days Later It had been the longest three days I had ever lived. These days were my nightmares, I cried, gave up, stood again, fell down and again held my broken pieces together from falling deeply under my eyes. I had been keenly conscious about my surroundings, more than I should’ve had. Everything that moved with me or every person as far as I could see seemed like a threat. I studied them if they meant to harm or stalking me; even if that was a disable man minding his own business. Wherever I went I felt like being chased along with getting precisely observed by some unseen force which denied to appear in front of me, Like someone’s eyes were constantly noticing my each and every movement. The first time I had this feeling was under Brandon’s penetrating gaze. That gaze which I couldn’t forget till today despite many days went.I hated this paranoia tricking on me, growing inside my head each passing day. First off, I only feared my husband, and now I started fearing everyon
The Dark Secrets Chapter 10
10I sipped my drink and raised my eyes to check out a couple sitting in front of me and making out without breaking the climax in the private cabin. I swear it had been 15 minutes we reached down the town’s expensive restaurant - afforded by these rich brats- called, ‘The Angels’ and I hadn’t seen Eliana and Ryan detaching from each other for a split second, they looked like two horny teenagers ready to have scandalous public sex. I straightway lowered my gaze and pushed my attention to something else like my wedding ring which I hadn’t taken off yet, and now I believed I should’ve taken action regarding it. I knew everything was over by this point because I didn’t bear strange physical harm which could be executed by Liam’s side. Of course, he had connections in secrets criminal networks, if he wanted me back it would’ve been a snap of finger thing for him for locating and abducting me from the streets of LA, I felt consuming after finding nothing else to think about other than
The Dark Secrets Chapter 11
117:48 AM *Alarm Buzzer* I felt like a hammer hitting my head and my ears almost about to bleed, that alarm’s shrill voice was enough to wakeup neighbours too, I squinted my eyes to locate the clock after tapping my hand on the nightstand, finally, I hit the button and it stopped, I huffed with a foggy mind, “Stupid clock,” I didn’t sleep well last night because of that human who stood at the corner right after when a mysterious paper came out of my bag, I couldn’t eat properly nor I had the audacity to speak about it to Eliana, I had to deal with it alone, I cried in fear and shivered for my dear life and that’s how I dozed off to sleep.Everything rewinded in my mind and I rested on the bed until my mind reminded I had an interview in the head office to clear and I was running out of time, I flipped out of the bed and rushed to the bathroom, I did my business and took a quick shower, for my first day I chose professional attire to make a good impression of me - Yeah, that was im
The Dark Secrets Chapter 12
12Brandon Grande had a son? This was news to me, a shocking one, “W-wait he has a son?” A bombshell was too obvious on my face, she turned around and about to chuckle hysterically on my palpable ‘pun’, perhaps? “Numbskull, don’t you know Brandon adopted his friend’s son after the boy’s parents died in a sudden car accident, he is his late best friend’s son and Mr. Grande cherishes him a lot, that’s why we all are standing here cause he advertised his urgent need for a nanny, even though he is interviewing the candidates personally for his adopted lad, aren’t you here for the boy?” She enquired, I felt a dumbo for a good minute, she jabbered out all of the stories while I stood there as a dumbstruck,“I… I’m here for a normal interview, I didn’t know about the boy nanny thing before,” I replied her with sceptical expressions, she narrowed her eyes on me, I knew what was coming next, something starts with a who, “Who appointed you for a normal interview today?” Like I assumed, her ex

2 Years LaterJennaI scanned every corner of the hall to make sure everything was going according to my planning. After all, it’s going to be my daughter’s first birthday, I wanted everything to be perfect. The glee I felt was beyond human comprehension, words weren’t enough to describe my life after Renai’s birth, she was, is and always will be my lucky charm. “My darling, what’s that look on your face?” I heard my husband interrupting me and my thoughts-land. “I’m observing if anything is out of line,” I replied, roaming my eyes everywhere while I could feel one pair of bluish orbs sticking at my face. “Everything is perfect as long as you’re happy with it,” replied my husband in the most romantic way possible. He surely knew how to sweep my heart away just with his words. I was already flushing like red jello. “Has cake arrived?” I asked him, gingerly. “Pretty sure, yes. Guards have made sure to put it in the refrigerator with careful hands,” He informed, “Where’s our daughte

42One Year Later I miss sleeping like a normal human being. This man who I accepted as my husband last week woke me up today by shagging himself in me while I was in a deep slumber after our long sex night session, but alas, four rounds weren’t enough for him, he was a man with an exceptional sexual appetite in comparison with me. I sometimes wondered if calling him the real-life man of steel wouldn’t be wrong as his endless stamina cost me my sleep and strength, to endure his lengthy manhood wasn’t an easy part either.Right now, his tongue was giving me the pleasure of sacred nirvana as he shoved it in and out like he promised himself to destroy me today. I held out his head for my holy soul, my shouts and moans were filling the room’s space while he succeeded in gifting me orgasm for my breakfast. I grunted at last as his tongue cleaned out the corners of my lips, “You’re fucking irresistible, my one and only,” Brandon stated, ascending towards my face. I flushed as his predato
The Dark Secrets Chapter 41
41JennaThis was real. Everything that I had been through passed by me. I thought I would meet my grave next but I was still laying beside the man who I fell for, then hated and now again, I feared falling for him again. He never left my side or even my hand. He didn’t know that I was conscious but I couldn’t move for a while until I had gotten the power to open my eyes. Since the moment I had been awakened, he made sure to pepper me with kisses all over my face. “Dove, I can’t thank God enough to God for giving you another chance. You scared the life out of me you know?!” He spoke, hyperventilated. It was difficult for me to speak out for myself because of the oxygen mask and weakliness, so I just let him do the talking work, he didn’t miss out on any chance of proving how worried he was about me and somehow, I also started believing in him. His eyes weren’t lying this time, they had some sort of clarity and honesty. My heart said to trust him once more and grant him a chance. “D
The Dark Secrets Chapter 40
40“Liam…” I gasped, my heart skipped a beat.“Yes, buttercup, Liam. Your own husband Liam,” He said, his tone blended in satire and venom. His aura was filled with malevolence. I inwardly flinched at his words because they were sarcastic enough to take my heart out. “Strange that you have forgotten me so easily… Tell me was that your pussy boyfriend’s cock that made you forget me? Huh, was he that good?” He kept on trudging towards me like a vampire was about to have his feed on a candy human like me. “L-Liam—stop, you can’t do—this,” I stuttered even when I tried to portray myself a little courageous. “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Still the world hasn’t taught my girl enough all this time,” he mocked, as usual. I kept on reserving while he continued taking my life out of its place with his gait. “Actually… I was here… to talk about us,” “What is left to argue?” I lashed out, not giving up too soon. I had to fight for myself. “There are lots of things that have left unfinished between us,” he
The Dark Secrets Chapter 39
39The wolf was coming to prey on his targeted mouse, watching him coming towards me along with his powerful aura, I had only one thing to do, pray to God that he’d disappear in the thin air or I’d lose my sight but nothing as such sort happened, instead I clearly saw him reaching near me, “Miss. Maxwell,” “Mr. Grande,” My mouth abruptly left out. “Please can you come with me to my office?” He asked, his tone was polite but his aura made it felt like otherwise, I gulped the lump of my throat when his burning heat that was emitting through his covered chest hit my skin, he was standing that close to me and I couldn’t lie I was getting under his effect. “I’m sorry, Mr. Grande but I’m not here for you,” I tried to kindly reject him in every way so he would leave my direction. I stepped away to rush outside but he blocked my way. He came closer to the extent where our chests were about to contract, his head buried near my ear and he whispered, “For the sake of my son, I ask you to lis

38Somebody kill me!Only because of Kevin I agreed on going to the place that I considered a jailhouse. Miss. Beckett promised me to ensure Brandon wouldn’t cross my path and I didn’t even want him to. It’s better he would stay the hell out of my way for his own good otherwise I didn’t know what I would do to him. He caused a never-ending formula of pain on me and I didn’t want my heart to burn into ashes again once again when he’d appear in front of me. It was ten past seven in the evening and I was travelling in the cab to that spooky mansion after my work. I promised myself never to turn back there ever but today, I had to break my ego with my own hands after a short span of keeping it. What if Brandon would come across my way? How would I react? No, he better not come in front of me otherwise I wouldn’t be able to hold back my grudge or maybe tears too. Where he had become my biggest enemy there is a soft corner in my heart that yearns for him and tells me to give him a chance
The Dark Secrets Chapter 37
37Two Months Later I couldn’t believe I was still alive and very much stable after two months of the worst period of my life. Life was finally coming back to its track and I couldn’t be much happier. I thought I’d be dead in a day or few when I was in San Diego but I didn’t lose. I left my past back in there and got back to where I belonged; Los Angelos, leading a new stable life now. I was still in Eliana’s apartment, moving as soon as I get my first salary. But the thing was I was alone in her apartment because she moved in with her boyfriend; that poker-faced Ryan. I wished the best for her, she was the one who helped me like no other and at least I could pray for her betterment. I would never forget her favours, I was actually indebted to it with my life. Alright, enough with the emotional episode, now let’s get back to reality. I mentioned working. Yes, luckily I got a job in this month, it was hard to find but scratching every corner of newspapers and job search site, I was
The Dark Secrets Chapter 36
36I walked out of the mansion with my suitcase packed, I didn’t care who was calling out my name and why. My goal was to pass the mansion’s gate and hop inside the booked cab. That was it. I would never trust anyone now, perhaps this was my wake-up call so I would make sure to stay away from love affairs in future.I again heard my name being called out by the man who I was loathing the most at the moment, I spun around when his callous hand pushed me his way, I was forced to glance at his face, there was a time when I wished to keep looking at him for hours and now, I just wanted nothing more than to avoid him. “Dove, you can’t leave me just like this. You’re my official girlfriend.” There was a hint of whine in his tone. “And what makes you think I would stay with you after I learnt your ugly side?! How can you be so disgusting, Brandon, you were my everything!” My eyes filled with tears but I kept them unshed. He wasn’t worth my tears. “Yes. I know I did wrong, I admit it but p
The Dark Secrets Chapter 35
35I was shivering badly. The picture I held in my hand was of a girl lying naked and unconscious on a bed. Her body was bruised with the same purple and red marks that I had after the night of the movie premiere. I couldn’t stabilise my nerves, I held out all the stack of pictures that laid remaining in the drawer. And with each passing picture of different girls fully naked and bruised got my breath heavier. Tears were forming up in my eye sockets. A sudden hit of the emotion of running to save my life from the abuser hyperventilated me or he’d kill me for finding out all of this. My hands were unstoppable, I kept swiping the pictures to make my brain accept the fact that the man who I called my boyfriend had such stuff in his private wardrobe. He was a famous celebrity who was being adored by millions but the ugly truth about him made me instantly abhor him. Tears blurred my vision as they were flowing without my permission. Just then I saw what I prayed never to see again, I wa
