When Secrets Kill

Secrets of the Billionaire

I’ve spent my career digging up secrets, but I never expected to find myself in the center of one that could cost me my life. I’m Emily Carter, an investigative journalist known for getting to the truth—no matter how deep I have to dig. When my editor hands me the assignment of a lifetime, I’m drawn into the world of Gabriel Thorne, the billionaire who controls more than just his empire of wealth. He's been a ghost in the public eye for years, and no one has been able to pierce the veil of mystery surrounding him. Until now. It starts as a job: investigate Thorne Industries, find out what’s fueling the rumors of corruption, and expose the man behind the curtain. But the deeper I dive, the more I realize that Gabriel Thorne isn’t just a powerful businessman—he’s the key to a web of dark secrets that run far deeper than I could have imagined. And the more I uncover, the closer I get to becoming another one of those who’ve disappeared while chasing his secrets. But what I never expected was how drawn I’d be to him. There’s something magnetic about Gabriel, something dangerous and alluring that pulls me in even as I know I should walk away. He’s hiding something, and every instinct I have tells me I’m playing with fire. Yet, as the walls between us start to fall, I find myself trapped between exposing the truth and the undeniable pull I feel toward him. Powerful enemies are circling, and it’s not just my career on the line anymore—it’s my life. The closer I get to uncovering Gabriel’s hidden past, the more I realize that my own secrets might be just as dangerous. And when they collide, they could destroy any chance we have at happiness. Some secrets are worth billions. Others can cost you everything.

I Will Kill The Extra

"He thought knowledge was power, but knowing the story won’t save him from me." ********** Extra Takes It All! True to its title, that hypocrite really does take it all. Opportunities? “Nah, the protagonist is too overpowered to even bother with them. I’ll take what he ignores—anything for my survival.” A harem? “I just help them a bit with their internal struggles, and somehow they keep clinging to me.” Items? “He barely uses them. They’re just lying around, so I’ll put them to good use.” And yet, that hypocrite keeps whining: *“I’m not supposed to be the protagonist. I don’t want to change the story’s outcome. I’ll just enjoy it from the sidelines.”* *Chuckle* Yeah, right. Somehow, I pushed through that mess of a plot. The other characters? They were decent. Well-developed. They felt real and believable. But that so-called “extra”? He was a walking contradiction. He started out on the sidelines, but gradually got more and more overpowered—until he himself became the story’s villain. As for the ending, don't even get me started. It really felt like the final battle was slapped together based on Authors hormones. The climax didn't make any sense at all, it was just a mess which totally twisted the logic that built up till this point of the story. So, what did I do wrong? I just cursed him a little, that’s all. And to be honest, he deserved it. Then, fate being fate, I ended up in that same novel that frustrated me. But unlike that Extra who cried about being thrown into a dangerous world and all, my situation is genuinely screwed. If I want to survive, there’s only one way: kill the extra. Yes, you heard me right. I won’t stop you, I will straight up kill. As your Professor, I’ll have plenty of chances.
