<p>Track 5 — Secrets by OneRepublic</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><p>“<strong><em>BigDan</em></strong>”</p><p><br/></p><p>The name left her lips quietly.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the effect was loud.</p><p><br/></p><p>Rylee slapped the table.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Well damn.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Dolapo looked at me, eyebrows raised like she had just witnessed the final scene of a drama.</p><p><br/></p><p>I didn’t move.</p><p><br/></p><p>I couldn’t.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because the man standing beside her didn’t look angry.</p><p><br/></p><p>He laughed.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not bitter.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not shocked.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just… amused.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You picked him.”</p><p><br/></p><p>She nodded slowly.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Yes.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then turned to look directly at me.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You really don’t know, do you?”</p><p><br/></p><p>A chill ran down my spine.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Know what?”</p><p><br/></p><p>He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You see, BigDan… there’s something interesting about love.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He held the phone up.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Sometimes the person you fall for isn’t the person you think they are.”</p><p><br/></p><p>My chest tightened.</p><p><br/></p><p>“What are you talking about?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Dolapo leaned forward.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Yeah… you’re starting to sound creepy, bro.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He ignored her.</p><p><br/></p><p>Instead, he looked at the woman standing beside him.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Go ahead,” he said calmly.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Tell him.”</p><p><br/></p><p>She didn’t speak.</p><p><br/></p><p>That silence told me everything was about to go wrong.</p><p><br/></p><p>The music from the jukebox In the Café was now playing "Secrets" by OneRepublic. Coincidence or right timing?</p><p><br/></p><blockquote><em>"So tell me what you want to hear<br/></em><em>Something that'll light those ears<br/></em><em>I'm sick of all the insincere<br/></em><em>So I'm gonna give all my secrets away"</em></blockquote><p><br/></p><p>Finally, he sighed and stepped in.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Alright. I’ll do it.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He looked straight into my eyes.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You remember a story that went viral on TwoCents last year?”</p><p><br/></p><p>My stomach dropped.</p><p><br/></p><p>“The one about the girl who broke a writer’s heart so badly he disappeared from the platform?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Rylee froze.</p><p><br/></p><p>Dolapo slowly turned toward her.</p><p><br/></p><p>And then the man said the one sentence that made the entire table go silent.</p><p><br/></p><p>“She’s that girl.”</p><p><br/></p><p>The same girl.</p><p><br/></p><p>The same story.</p><p><br/></p><p>The same heartbreak.</p><p><br/></p><p>Only this time…</p><p><br/></p><p>I was the writer.</p><p><br/></p><h3>---</h3><h3><br/><strong>Next On…</strong></h3><p><br/></p><p>Tomorrow, Dolapo will reveal a detail about that viral story that changes everything.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the real shock is still coming.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because the man standing in front of me tonight…</p><p><br/></p><p>Wasn’t the writer whose heart she broke.</p><p><br/></p><p>He was something much worse.</p><p><br/></p><p>He was the <strong>brother</strong> of the man who disappeared. </p>
