All Chapters of HIDDEN SECRETS: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"What do you say we go and visit mom? It's been a while since she saw you" Charles asks, emerging from the bathroom in nothing but a towel around his waist. The water glides down on his body perfectly, like that of a glass. The sun shining from the glass windows in our bedroom doing nothing to help me snap my gaze away. He keeps talking, but everything is like a blur. All I'm able to concentrate on is his V-line, that leads to dangerous places being hidden by the towel. "Elizabeth?" He snaps his fingers infront of me, his mouth in a smirk. Oh please. "Uhuh?" I question, sending my concentration back to the clothes I'm folding. "Did you hear a word of what I just said?" "Uh.... something about seeing mom?" He chuckles, bringing a grin to my face, "I'm glad you can shamelessly check your husband out. Don't worry, look all you want. It's all yours" he winks, making me laugh. "Anyway, I think seeing mom will be

Somewhere in the Charles Frost Family MansionRoyale Frost POV I pick up my bag and close my bedroom door quietly after arranging pillows on my bed in my absence. I don't want anyone to know that I am gone. I tip toe down the staircase and slip quietly and successfully out of the house. Slipping into my car, I drive out of the house, but not before making sure the security guards won't say anything. I love James. From the first day I saw him in his black crisp suit, opening a door for Dad, he caught my interest. He became that bad thing that I wanted to try, I knew I shouldn't try but yet still I wanted to try. And I got my taste, I could have left it there. Infact, that was my original plan. But I got addicted, and I don't regret any of it. Not even a second. I know he's too old for me, as my mom said, he could probably give birth to me. Infact, he can give birth to me. But I love him nonet

Charles Frost POVI slump down on the chairs, waiting for the doctors to tell us when we can go in and see Royale.Everything has been falling apart recently and it's beginning to take a toll on me. The only sense of happiness I have is Elizabeth, she and my baby are the only ones keeping me sane these days.I don't know how long I can go on like this, but I know I have to be strong. For the family. For everyone. For us. For my wife and the child that is on the way."Sir, you can go in now" the doctor says and we all scramble to our feet, following the nurse to the private room we requested for Royale.Royale is on the bed, connected to tubes and all sorts, her face turned towards the window. I know the doctor said there is a possibility she might not remember some things, but I hope she remembers us, if not, I wouldn't know what I'd do."My baby" mom says when she sees her, getting

It's been a week since my life went downhill. Everything is quiet in this mansion. The happiness has been sucked out of it just as the life has been sucked out of me with the death of my child. Most often than not, I wish I didn't let Jenna go away, because I really would love some company. This serene quietness is testing my sanity bit by bit, but all the same, I still love the quiet. Charles offered to stay at home with me for as long as I want. He was prepared to work from home just so that he can be by my side. He isn't taking the pain well either, but he's handling it better than I am. Way better. I guess he's trying to be strong for the both of us. Strong for me.  Either way, I sent him off to work. Frost Capital is the only right thing going on in our lives right now, and we can't lose that as well. It's the only present thing standing, and we don't want it to come tumbling down like everything else. People come and go, family, trying

"I know you saw everything that happened" "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to" "Please Charles. Enough of that kindness. You deserve to know the truth" I sigh "The man I've been with till the time Ryan cheated was not Ryan, it was Brent, the man who got arrested" I see the shock and surprise on his face "Apparently Ryan hit his sister with a car and she died, so he came into my life wanting revenge, and I made it easy for him. I know Ryan was wrong, I know that he could have been the good man and mend his mistakes, get that girl to the hospital, and maybe, just maybe she would still be alive today." I pause and take in a deep breath "I'm tired Charles, I'm tired. All this is too much, I don't know how many more surprises I can take" I say and Charles pulls me into a hug. I wipe the tears on my face and try to muster some confidence within me, because I know the next words are going
