Hey, everybody! Chapter 12 has been added to my book "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars". I didn't actually think I'd publish this chapter today, but it happened that it became available earlier. By the way, today, it's been one month since I published the first chapter of this book. I can't believe time is flying so fast... I think having 12 chapters published in a month is a good result. Yes, of course, I still have very much work on this book, and the final is not coming soon. But I continue to work and edit new chapters. By the way, as I've said, this is the last chapter that does not have too many pages. The next one is going to be much longer. And there will be much more events. More attempts to test the patience and nerves of my characters. Yeah, my fantasy is getting wilder and wilder...

Anyway, I would be madly happy if you liked this book, added it to your library and told me what you think of the storyline and the characters' actions. I hope you would't lose your interest for my book and would read it until the very end. My English is not perfect, but I'm doing my best to make my texts more or less readable. Play the song Ashley Tisdale — What If, lyrics of which were originally used for the chapter name and go to read it.

Here's a little snippet from one of the parts:

"You are the one to blame for starting that scandal and ruining what was happening between us."

"Ah, I am the one to blame!" Natalia opens her mouth, hiding her emotions by aggression. "Are you our innocent and fluffy one, huh? You are not such a sweetie, Edward! No matter how much effort you apply, your rotted character shows up anyway. I did make sure about it when you said what I don't even wanna remember!"

"My character is not rotted, Natalia. You acted like an egoist and gave a fuck about me. I gave you a chance to explain everything! But you did not recognize your mistake and confirmed that you lied to me all the time. But you know well that I cannot stand people that lie to me. I have said it thousands of times! Thou-san-ds!"

"And I can't stand people that try to slander me!"

"Oh, who slandered you?" Edward smirks loudly, putting his hands on his hips. "I told you the truth on that day. But I think you refuse to confess that you are an insolent and shameless liar!"

"I think you are not going to confess that you lied to me and were pretending to be sweet, decent, and kind," Natalia looks at Edward with contempt in her eyes from head to feet. "But now I know you are a scumbag. The scumbag that used my naivety and got my trust!"

"Unlike you, I have never lied to anyone."

"Oh, come on!" Natalia smirks loudly, rolling her eyes. "You did lie to me to play with me and leave me after getting sick of playing a drama! So, you have no right to hate liars, while you are the one."

Have a good day! See you somewhere in 4-5 days!

Love, Estrella Rose.
