We All Have Secrets. But Some Are Too Heavy to Carry to the Grave.

Are you tired of stories that play it safe?

You know the ones. 

The stories where everything wraps up neatly, where the good guys win, and the lines between right and wrong are crystal clear.

But life isn’t clear. 

Life is messy. 

It’s a hurricane tearing the roof off your home. It’s the relief you feel when a burden is finally gone, even if you’re not supposed to feel it.

It’s the lie you tell the man you love, just as he takes his final breath.

If you are craving a collection that explores the darkest corners of the human heart—the guilt, the fear, the sacrifice, and the desperate need for survival—then you are ready for Belinda’s Secret and Other Stories.

Step inside. 

The door is unlocked, but you might not be able to leave.

🌪️ It Starts With Survival.

Imagine holding your little sister in the dark while a Category 5 monster screams outside your window. 

Amy is only 25, she just lost her mother, and now she is the only thing standing between her terrified sister and total destruction.

As the house shudders and groans, Amy prays a desperate prayer:

“Just the roof, please just leave the roof on.” 

She whispers promises she isn't sure she can keep, just to stop the tears.

“'It’s going to be okay,' she whispered... knowing all the while that Carey did not believe her. Worse, she wasn't sure she even believed herself.” 

🔥 It Burns With Guilt.

Then, the scene shifts. The storm is gone, but the smoke remains.

John Walker comes home to find his house destroyed by fire and his difficult mother gone. 

But amidst the grief of the community, John feels something else. Something forbidden. Relief.

He asks himself the question no son should ever have to ask: Was it an accident? Or was it freedom?

💔 It Breaks With Betrayal.

And then, there is the secret that changes everything.

Trevor is lying in a hospital bed, weak, frail, and dying.

He looks at his wife, Belinda, with pure love, believing their life together was perfect.

“I love you Belinda. I love you... Nothing can change that!” 

But Belinda can’t let him die with the lie. 

She needs to unburden her soul, even if it destroys his peace. 

She leans in close, kisses him tenderly, and whispers the words that shatter his world.

You will feel Trevor’s heart break in real-time.

“Trevor shattered... He had given up his family, his son and daughter for a lie and it was all too late.” 

🌀 It Twists Reality.

Just when you think you can catch your breath, you wake up in a cold, sterile room.

Jeremy thinks he’s dreaming.

 He’s late for school, running through the halls, screaming at his friends—but they look right through him.

“'I'm right here! I'm here you idiots! I'm here!' Nothing. Not even a blink.” 

It’s the ultimate nightmare: watching the world move on without you, until you see the body under the sheet and realize the terrifying truth.

⚖️ It Ends With Justice.

Finally, you’ll stand in the courtroom with Sharon.

She is on trial for killing the husband who turned her life into a living hell. 

She isn't looking for mercy. She is frozen. Numb and looking at her daughter, Julie—the only reason she did it.

“This is the price I had to pay. He’ll never hurt you ever again. Never. Ever. Again.” 

When the verdict comes down, it isn’t just a judgment. It’s a release.

This collection isn't just a book.

It’s an emotional journey through the resilience of the human spirit.

 It’s for the women who fight back, the mothers who sacrifice, and the survivors who keep going when the world falls apart.

Are you brave enough to learn their secrets?
