Colin Jonas is accused of a crime he clearly did not commit. As if that isn't bad enough, his pretend girlfriend never cared enough to help him out. He's lost all hope, depressed and alone, but somehow help from the least expected comes along.

Laurel Polanski takes it upon herself to help someone who she has no relation with even after learning the truth. At the cost of a promise she made to her best friend, she can't tell anyone the secret but she refuses to sweep the truth under the carpet.

It is left for her to find the balance between justice and friendship. Can she honestly prove her loyalty and to whom?

Our Secret

My hand clenches to her jaw in a tight grip and an amused expression on my face. 


“Ivy, I swear I didn't tell anyone! Why won't you believe me?” 


“You didn't tell anyone! How come the police are after me?” 


I squeeze my hand tighter. “It doesn't matter now because I'm going to kill you and Alex in this mansion and no one will ever find your body.” I release her jaw in a forceful push. 


“Ivy! You can't do that to your best friend!” She sobs. I want to hurt her so bad, she'd wish for death right now. 


While I keep Laurel tied up hands and feet to a chair in the attic and Alex who my minions knocked unconscious in the upper room, I pace around. The big question is, what exactly should I do to Laurel to make her wish for death? I want to torture her so bad. 


“Ivy I swear on my life, I kept my promise to you.” 


“Oh shut up!” I shout at her. She should let me think properly.
