All Chapters of The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Chapter 102: Silence over TruthKai’s P.O.VHis words rang in my ears on a loop; the very first failure of my life. I felt a chill creep down my spine, a hollow dread settling in my stomach. I’d thought I was prepared for answers, but nothing could’ve readied me for what he had just said.“What do you mean, Dad?” I managed to ask. I stared at him as he sat there, shoulders hunched, looking like a man haunted by something far beyond my understanding.He drew a long, unsteady breath, and his gaze drifted somewhere far away, beyond the room, beyond this moment. “People say you never forget your first kill,” he said, the words raw and unfiltered, as if speaking them aloud for the first time. “And for me… that was true. I hurt someone, Kai. Not intentionally, but… it happened. A judgment call I should never have made.”He paused before continuing, “It was meant to help, but it ended in tragedy. I took a life, Kai, even if I never meant to. And that is a weight I’ll carry to the end.”I cou

Chapter 104: Unwanted AdvancesNight’s P.O.VI sat on my bed, replayed everything that happened tonight; every tense word, every glance, every detail… I had seen it all over and over in my mind, and yet each time, one image stood out in sharp relief: my father’s face when he’d looked at Kai’s dad.That split second, when my father’s usual hardness had crumbled, and the color had drained from his face.It was so unlike him. Normally, my father would have been cursing me out, making his contempt crystal clear.But tonight, after that moment in the hallway, he’d been silent. I almost wished my father had shouted at me instead, berated me like he always did.At least that would have felt familiar, almost manageable. But this strange, haunted silence was unsettling, and only left me with more questions than I knew what to do with.I had a feeling that whatever it was, Kai’s dad was surely involved in this and knows something about all of this. Perhaps he could answer my nagging question of

Chapter 106: Born to be A Trade-offKai’s P.O.VJonathan's entire body seemed to tremble from exhaustion as he almost fell to the floor, but his wife caught him on time, his gaze distant and haunted. For a moment, it seemed as if he was no longer in the room but pulled back to some place in the past, reliving memories that had never truly let him go.The silence was suffocating until Rosalie’s shrill voice sliced through it. “Why is everyone ignoring me?” she yelled, her voice quivering with anger. “Why are we talking about some ghost from the past when I was the one assaulted? Are you all just going to stand there spewing riddles and nonsense?”When nobody answered, Rosalie’s face flushed dark red as she realized she was being ignored, and she stomped her foot like a child denied a toy. “You’re all insane!” she screamed, tears brimming in her eyes. “This is supposed to be about me! I’m the one who’s hurt, and yet here you are, whispering about riddles and nonsense like it even matter

Chapter 108: Stray from the PathNight’s P.O.VI felt my eyes go wide, the room spinning out of focus around me as my father’s words echoed in the back of my mind.My breath caught in his throat, rendering me mute. I didn’t know what to think, what to say. To be honest, I felt quite numb, as though the floor has fallen out from beneath me and I was in a free fall, not knowing when I was going to land or if I was even going to land at all.The sharp thud of my mother dropping to the floor beside my father jolted me back to the room; her face was pale, eyes wide and vacant, mirroring the confusion I felt.The name—Matthias—was stuck on repeat in my head like a broken tape recorder. ‘Matthias, Matthias. Your father is just like you…’Just like me.The man who had always stood tall and indomitable now sat crumpled, broken by memories that seem more powerful than anything I could have imagined. I just couldn’t fathom, couldn’t grasp the fact that what he had just said was actually the trut

Chapter 110: Once A House, Now A HomeNight’s P.O.VWhen I turned to look at my mother, I had this undeniable feeling that our family was going to crumble. There was no other way to go about it—what was the right way of proceeding with your life when you suddenly find out that the man of your family turned out to have never loved you at all? That instead he had someone else occupying his heart, whether he admitted it or not?Thinking about it that way made me realize something else as well, the other side as to why my father had kept the truth. Just like Rosalie had said during her earlier fit, why would any woman want to waste her life being married to a gay man who could never love her the way she wants to be loved and never need her physically in the way that she wants to be needed?My father hadn't held back on the truth not only because of his troubled past, but because he was holding this family together…because he didn’t want me to grow up with only one parent, facing prejudice
