It All Started With A Secret

When Charlotte Evans was really young, her mother had made her promise something. Charlotte had eagerly agreed, not understanding what her mother had just said. She just wanted that goddamn chocolate her mother was holding while she made Charlotte promise her to never keep secrets, to never lie.

Now, lying came easy to Charlotte. She was an undercover secret agent, and lying was part of the job profile. Her recent mission was to find out if some accusations on a group of university-going kids were right, or not.

Charlotte thought this was easy. However, she didn't realise that she was also someone who had a secret.

And eventually, secrets always got exposed.

And as Charlotte's mother had said: "All messes, all of them, it always starts with a secret, a lie."
