Kisses, Lies and Blurred Alibis Almost Caught
Chloe’s POVWe left the hospital after an hour that Zoe woke up. At least we all knew she was better now. We were all tired and it was already late into the night. Tyler suggested we all go home, shower and rest while we come back in the morning to check on Zoe. Our Home didn’t feel like home. When we reached. It felt like a temporary shelter, walls that could be breached, doors that could fail, silence that screamed too loudly. Still, we showered. We changed. We tried to rest, if closing our eyes and lying still could be called rest.I barely slept.Every time I did, I saw blood on a café floor that wasn’t mine. I heard a gunshot that echoed too close to my heart. I woke up clutching the bedsheet, my chest tight, my mind already racing back to the hospital.The phone call was still loud enough in my head. And the thought of knowing the culprit wasn’t caught and might attack anytime soon scared me the more.Morning came too fast.Jake drove. Tyler sat in the front seat, quiet, his j
Kisses, Lies and Blurred Alibis Awake
Zoe’s POVPain was the first thing I felt.Not a sharp pain, no, this was heavy. Dull. Like my body had been dragged through fire and forgotten there. My chest burned every time I tried to breathe, and my arm felt… wrong. Numb, yet screaming at the same time.I tried to move.A low beep answered me.My eyes fluttered open, lashes sticking together as harsh white light stabbed through my skull. I groaned, the sound barely more than air.“Easy… easy,” a voice said, it was calm, and low.It was A woman’s voice.I blinked again, slower this time, forcing my vision to focus. Ceiling. White. Too clean. The smell of antiseptic hit me next. The scent was strong and it disturbed me a little.Hospital.The memories came rushing back all at once, the café, the red dress, Mira’s small hand clutching mine, Don K’s smile, and then, the gun, My body jerked violently.“Mira!” I croaked.Pain exploded through my side and I cried out, my hand flying instinctively to my chest. Tubes. Wires. Bandages.

Chloe’s POVI sat there, staring at the ICU door, when the weight of something I had been carrying pressed too hard against my chest.I couldn’t keep it in anymore.“Jake…” I called softly.He turned immediately, he looked tired already, his eyes tired, bloodshot, but even in the midst of it all, it was alert. Tyler followed his gaze to me, sensing the shift in my voice.“There’s something I didn’t tell you,” I said.Both of them stiffened.Jake moved closer. “What is it?”I swallowed. My fingers trembled as I clenched them together. “Before Tyler called me. Before I even knew Zoe had been shot.”Their faces hardened. Tyler was fully facing me now. “My phone rang,” I continued. “It was Zoe’s phone actually, I picked it up thinking it was her or one of you.”Jake’s jaw tightened. “And?”“And it was him,” I whispered. “Don K.”The name dropped between us like a loaded gun.“He said… he said I thought I could fool him by sending my sister instead of myself. He said today might be a luck

Chloe’s POVI don’t know if it’s just me, but, Hospitals have a way of freezing time.The clock on the wall kept ticking, but nothing moved inside me. Every second stretched, thin and fragile, like it could snap if I breathed too hard. Zoe lay behind that glass door, suspended between life and death, and all I could do was sit there and wait.Wait.I hated waiting.Jake sat beside me, silent. His hand rested on his knee, clenched so tightly his knuckles were white. Tyler paced the hallway like a caged animal, running a hand through his hair over and over again. Mira had finally fallen asleep in the servant’s arms, exhaustion winning over fear.I watched them all, but my mind was elsewhere.On Zoe.On Don K.On the voice that had spoken to me through the phone like he owned my fear.Today might be a lucky day. Tomorrow won’t be.I hugged myself, suddenly cold.“She shouldn’t have gone,” I whispered.Jake turned to me immediately. “Don’t do that.”My lips trembled. “She took a bullet me
Kisses, Lies and Blurred Alibis Pains
Chloe’s POVFour hours I want able to reach any one. Pain doesn’t always scream.Sometimes it sits quietly in your chest, heavy and suffocating, refusing to let you breathe.I knew something was wrong long before the phone rang.Every call I made went unanswered. Jake. Tyler. The servant. Even Zoe’s phone, I meant my phone she was holding, the one we switched, it was dead silent. At first, I told myself it was normal. That things were just… delayed. That negotiations take time. That Zoe knew what she was doing.But a mother’s heart doesn’t lie.The house felt wrong.Too quiet. Too still.I paced the living room, Mira’s small jacket clenched in my hands, I have held it I case I was asked to come get her, I knew she would be cold or something, my pulse racing with every second that passed. The baby started crying upstairs, sharp and restless, like he could feel the fracture in the air.“Please,” I whispered to no one. “Please let them be okay.”Then the phone rang.Zoe’s phone.My breat
Kisses, Lies and Blurred Alibis Plans do Spoil
Zoe’s POVI walked out of the house wearing Chloe’s face.Not literally, but close enough.The mirror had agreed with us. The makeup hid my scar perfectly. The hair, the dress, the posture, everything screamed Chloe. Anyone looking wouldn’t question it twice. That was the whole point.This wasn’t our first switching places, and definitely might not be our last.Before I left, I handed Chloe my phone, and she gave me hers. Of course we knew each others password now. “Don’t call Jake until I’m gone,” I reminded her softly, praying everything goes as planned. Her eyes were shiny, scared. “Please be safe. And if anything goes wrong, come back.”“I will,” I said, even though something in my chest twisted when I said it. “I promise.”The servant slipped out first, just as planned. Five minutes later, I followed. I had patiently waited till five minutes. The drive to Morning Dew Café felt longer than it should have. My heart beat too loudly in my ears. I kept my face calm, my movements st
