What are your real intentions here?

So this woman I know and still close with talk few times a week and hang out couple a week too. Problem is we have to keep it a secret from everyone, especially from the guy she’s living with. We had a fling in past and could’ve been more but she thought I was too good for her and she downgraded badly. We both have very strong feelings about each other and hasn’t gone away. My question is why is she keeping me around when it has to be a secret? Does she want to keep our friendship going or she have another plan? I’m confused
