Emotionally abused and broken, young Mykale wanted a life that left her current situation in the past. Having come from a poverty-stricken household with dreams that expand bigger than the financial reach of what any of the "traditional" jobs were paying, Mykale decided to make her money in a "nontraditional" way. Along with her close friend and confidante, she ventures on a path that only leads to a road that shouldn't be traveled. After a traumatic experience causes Mykale to abruptly leave her life behind, she embarks on a journey to start a new life. Thinking she has successfully left her past behind her, she doesn't think twice about what used to be. It's not until she is approached at a party that she realizes that no matter how far you run, your past will always catch up with you. "Secrets" is the breakout novella from Author La Kata E.K. **Special Note: This book contains violent and graphic content that some readers may find offensive.**
