All Chapters of Dirty Little Secret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The late afternoon sun casts a warm golden glow over my body as I step out the hospital doors. I needed to make a pit stop at the bathroom, Lorenzo went a head to fetch the car. I take in a deep breath of fresh air, enjoying the afternoons sun on my face. I have been cooped up in the hospital for way to long and the feeling of freedom is like a balm to my soul.“Hey” Lorenzo’s deep, rich voice calls adding to my good mood. He’s leaning against his black Bugatti La Voiture Noire, with his arms folded across his chest, looking handsome and relaxed in his t-shirt and jeans. “Want a lift baby girl?” A mischievous grin paints his face.A smirk pulls on the corner of my mouth. “Nope, I don’t get in a car with a stranger.” Lorenzo straightens up and a smile spreads across his face as he makes his way to me. “I’m no stranger, baby girl. I’m the man taking you home and writing a whole new road map on every inch of your body, I’ll make you scream my name, like it’s the only one you know as I

The night grows weary as we come to a halt, outside Starlux Hotel. The people are cued up to enter the luxuries palace all dress in astonishing ball gowns and fancy tuxedos, with glamorous masks covering half of their faces. Rayon hands me a beautiful black mask to match my dress as he straps on his own. Tonight’s event is more like a brag then a charity. A lot of important people are here, throwing their cash around while sipping on very expensive beverages that’s being served as we wait for the doors to open. Finally, after what felt like an hour, the dark wooden doors swings open and a welcoming aroma streams out of the hotel, as the melody of a piano bounces off its walls, greeting its guest with a cheerful and lively song. "Ready?" Rayon asks, holding out his hand to lead me into the dragon’s dungeon."Yup." I give him the best smile I can manage as I take his hand. My heart is sprinting, and I have to admit, I am a bit nervous."Deep breaths." Rayon whispers as he place his h

Regret, yeah that's one thing that comes too late and you can't change it. I can't really say I regret going to the charity last night, but I can say I regret the way I left Lorenzo."Lilly-Ann, Rayon told me what happened last night, did you see anything or maybe got a picture?" Regina asks as I enter her office.I take a seat and let out a sigh. "No, sorry ma'am, I didn't." I know this means we can't use anything until we have hard proof.She narrows her eyes at me. "Lilly-Ann, this job is hard as it is and sometimes, we have to sacrifice a lot to get a story. We need to take risks, go where others don't want to, and ask questions no one else is willing to. That is why there is no room for mistakes, we speak for the people, Lilly-Ann, and we rip the masks off those devils and if you're not strong enough or focused, you'll get trampled. So, you can choose, get your head in the game, or leave my office without a job?" She said dead seriousI look up into those mahogany brown eyes of h

The next morning, I woke up in his bed, next to only the memories of last night's crazy sex. The best sex I ever had in my entire life. My legs are still jelly even after a genuinely nice nap. "Shit." I jump up right, my hair must be a real mess. I started searching for my clothes."Morning, baby girl." Lorenzo strolls in, with only jeans on. Carrying a glass filled with orange juice. "I don’t know how you take your coffee, so I bought you juice." He says placing it on the bedside table. Lorenzo plots down next to me and kisses my forehead. "Did you sleep well?""Uh, yes." I smile sweetly, sipping on the juice as last night’s event plays off in my head. Lorenzo’s phone starts to ring. "Well, shower is in there, you can grab one of my shirts if you’d like." He points towards the bathroom and stands as he plants a kiss on my head, leaving me alone in his huge bedroom, that smells of his cologne. A shower will be great. I grab the black silky sheet and wrap myself in its luxurious e

The atmosphere is one of constant motion, with reporters typing away at their computers, making phone calls, and interviewing sources. This is the first time the office came to life, like hell, everyone is working even the slackers. A soft chuckle escapes me as my eyes scans over the busy office. Something is up, this is not normal, not for this place at least. I make my way to the elevator. "Great, why must the elevator be out of service today of all days." I pout and start to jog upstairs."What's going on?" I ask Will breathlessly as I reach his desk."Oh, the big boss is coming in today, or should I say the new big boss." Will rolls his eyes. "He some hot shot from England.""What?" I frown, what the hell does he want with a newspaper from New York?"Lilly-Ann!" Regina calls my name but with a hint of anger and irritation in her voice."Well, I need to go." I widen my eyes at Will; he fully understands the, oh shit, expression on my face."Shut the door," Regina says as she gaze t
