All Chapters of Dirty Little Secret: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Clara seems to have everything here in control. She already arranged with the center for the party, the cake is booked, the food, the décor, everything. She gave me one task to do today and that is to pick up the cake from the bakery. Dr. Yummy and Clara are decorating the hall and I’m the pickup guy. Well maybe it’s a good thing, their lovey-doveyness is making me crazy, I swear they are having sex on the tables right now. Mental note, sanitize the table and chair, before use.Raindrops started to dance on the street as I pull into a parking. “Great.” I sigh, well I knew it was going to rain by the looks of the grey sky but I hoped it would be after the party. I scramble around on the back seat with my hand, searching for an umbrella. “C’mon,” The irritation scrambles in the pit of my stomach. “What the hell, Clara? No umbrella.” I sigh and clasp the steering wheel as I give up on my search. The bakery is on the other side of the road and it is pouring outside. I can’t run, I’m afrai

Dusk brushes over the city and for the first time in a long time, I feel lonely. I had just made an agonizing decision, one that I might regret in the near future. I walked away from the man I loved, I had known for a while that our paths can not intertwine any longer. My heart feels heavy with the overwhelming love I still feel for him. I sink my head into the pillow and feel the anchor pulling me deeper into the realms of loneliness.A familiar creak of the door closing reverberates through the stillness. I jerk up to see who my intruder is.“Ann? You still awake?” Clara whispers as she tiptoes to my bed.“Yeah…” I flick the bed lamp on and push my body up. “I don’t think sleep is an option for me.”Clara sit next to me and looks at me worried. “You need rest, it's not good for you or the baby.”Easier said the done, I can’t get his face out of my head, that shattered look in his eyes. ”I know.” I pull my pillow to my chest and hug it tight, “But you didn’t see him.”“Ann, he is eng

Every piece of my being is consumed by his darkness, it is arousing every piece of light I had and changing it into his.His dark eyes are pulling me in, like a moth to a flame. I’m lost in his presence, my heart is pounding out of my chest as he slowly stalks closer to me. “Stop,” I warn breathlessly. My heart, mind, and soul want to leap into his arms and wrap myself up in his warmth but…. “You have no right showing up here.” I’m a mother now and he is a threat to my only piece of happiness.“I have all the right in the world, baby girl,” A smirk pulls on his face as he looks at me.“I’m not baby girl, I’m Lilly-Ann, Lilly-Ann Anderson, Editor-in-Chief of The money maker magazine,” I say proudly narrowing my eyes at him as he slowly walks towards me with a proud smile on his face.“I know.” He whispers in a mischievous tone. “And you will always be my baby girl.” A grin that can light up the whole of London paints his face, he stops right in front of me, his eyes burning into my sou

The smell of coffee and freshly baked croissants fills the air as we enter. Vicky is carrying Ever-Lee to an open table in the corner and I place an order for us. That is when my eyes caught the newspaper.I grab it from the counter and my whole world comes crashing down. Gustav Lenkov, realest from prison, he is a free man. “No this can’t be happening.” My hands are shaking, he will be out for blood and Rayon will be the first one he wants revenge on. “Ricardo,” I mumble and scramble to fish my phone out of my pocket. My fingers are numb and I can’t seem to dial.I inhale a long sharp breath, calm yourself Lilly-Ann, you're jumping to conclusions again, he might be a changed man and won’t even hurt a fly. But just in case, I hit the call button.“Hey, sis.”“Clara, are you okay? And Ricardo?”“We are fine, what’s wrong Ann, did something happen, you sound terrified.”“Did you see the newspaper?”“Oh, n hadn’t had a chance.”“Gustav is out of prison, I think he might try something, pl

The sun is shining brightly as the guests arrived at the grand estate for Tomson's sixth birthday party. The driveway is lined with fancy sports cars and limousines, and the valet attendants were busy parking them. As we walked up to the front door, we are greeted by a team of butlers who handed us champagne flutes filled with sparkling cider.I'm dressed in my gorgeous black gown Shane got me and Shane is dressed in his stylish pink and white tuxedo. "Wow." Shane's stunned at how many people showed up for this, but I'm used to it. Yeah, my dear friend, this is Vicky for you, she loves big events and glamor.Inside, the house is decorated with balloons and streamers in Tommy's favorite colors, and a huge banner that read "Happy 6th Birthday Tomson!" hung from the ceiling. The place is stacked with people I don't know, I scan the room for Vicky or Chad but they are nowhere to be seen. I spot Jena standing in the far corner of the living room dressed in a beautiful navy blue dress. watc
