QUEEN OF THE RUINS: Born to Power. Crowned in blood Chapter 109
KamaraA Year LaterTime has a strange way of reshaping our lives when we aren't looking. For an entire year, I had completely buried myself in my studies, trading the dangerous chaos of my family’s world for the quiet, predictable rhythm of university lecture halls. The past year had changed everything.My phone buzzed in my hand, the screen lighting up with a name I had spent the last twelve months trying to lock away.Brian. He had reached out a dozen times over the past few months, begging for a chance to explain, to mend the wreckage he’d contributed to. And while he seemed to be doing well for himself now that his father was locked securely behind bars, forgiveness wasn't something I could just hand over. I didn't trust him. I didn't know if I ever would.With a definitive swipe, I declined the call, pushing the thought aside as the car came to a stop in front of the estate. I hadn’t been back properly in almost a year. But now I was finally here.And tomorrow…I was turning

KamaraI couldn't register the information at once.I looked at Dr. Laurence, but her face was beginning to blur into a smear of clinical white and sterile grey. “That can’t be true, right?” I looked at Elijah, desperate for him to tell me this was just another mind game, another lie to keep me off balance. “Right?”Elijah didn't look at me. He was staring at the floor, his hands shoved so deep into his pockets his knuckles were likely white. The doctor hesitated, then she slowly shook her head.“At the moment, I know it’s a lot to process. But it’s too early to say 'permanent,'" she clarified. "With intensive physical therapy and time, the nerves may recover. But for the foreseeable future, he’s going to be in a wheelchair.”May. Not would.I leaned against the wall, my heart fracturing. All I could feel was a violent, erratic thumping in my chest. He saved me, and this was the cost. "Does he know?"“I haven’t said it directly yet. But judging from his reactions…” She sighed softly,

KAMARA“I still think this whole thing is unnecessary.”A soft laugh left my lips as I adjusted the shopping bag sitting beside me in the backseat.“You’ve said that three times already,” I muttered into the phone.“And I’ll say it again,” Father replied smoothly. “We can have dinner without turning it into a royal ceremony.”“It’s not a ceremony,” I argued, smiling despite myself. “It’s literally just dinner.”“With enough food to feed an army.”“That’s because Kaela barely eats.”“And?”“And you eat…well…”A low chuckle rumbled through the speaker. It was strange.Weeks ago, speaking to my father felt impossible. Now we could somehow sit on a call arguing about dinner plans and food portions like normal people.Normal.I never thought we would get here.“You’re smiling,” he suddenly said.I blinked. “What?”“You always go quiet when you smile.”Something softened painfully in my chest.Maybe he was learning me too.I looked out the car window, watching the streets blur past. “Maybe

KamaraFor the next few days, Jace hadn’t woken up.The doctors kept saying he was recovering, though very slowly. There were too many internal injuries, too much damage his body had sustained, and every step of his treatment had to be handled carefully.It hurt hearing it every single time, but at least he was alive. That was the only thing keeping me together.Life outside the hospital had somehow continued moving, even after everything that happened.Matthias had finally been arrested.The authorities found enough evidence in the files we recovered to bury him for good, and whatever they discovered inside his house only made things worse for him. For once, justice was actually happening.And Elijah…I had seen him a few times over the past week whenever he came around to help with bills or check in on things. He looked different now. Lighter somehow. Like he was finally trying to rebuild himself after everything.I liked that for him.Honestly, I liked that for all of us. Maybe thi

Kamarawas it. My life up until this moment.They said minutes before you die, the best moments of your life flash before your eyes. But right now, all I could see was fear. The cold barrel of the pistol was a focal point of terror against my skin. I could smell the gunpowder and the sweat on Ricko’s palm as he hauled me up. My feet barely touched the floor."Mom, please..." My voice was thin and shaky."I'm scared. I don't want to die. Mom, do something!""Keep your mouth shut, girl!" Ricko snarled, his grip on my throat tightening until I felt the pressure in my eyes. He looked at my mother with an ugly grin. "You see her, Vivian? This is your handiwork. Every tear she sheds, every bruise on that boy on the floor, it’s all because of you. You ruined their lives before they even started living it."My mother was shaking so hard the gun in her hand was a blur. "No... I tried to protect them. I did it for my family… all I do is for my family.”"Look where that landed you!" He barked.

KAMARALogic was gone.All I could think about was doing something.I launched myself at Ricko’s back, a scream tearing from my throat that sounded nothing like my own voice.I collided with him just as he was about to swing toward Jace’s temple. It was like hitting a wall of solid iron. Ricko merely shifted his weight, and with a casual backhanded motion, he sent me sprawling across the marble.I hit the floor hard, the air driven out of my lungs in a sharp, painful wheeze. The gun skidded away, disappearing under a shattered glass table.“Kamara… get out of here…”The voice was a wet, broken rasp. I looked up through a blur of tears. Jace was on one knee, his head hanging low. One eye was swollen shut, and blood painted a gruesome mask down the side of his face.“Look at this,” Ricko said, his voice terrifyingly steady. He sounded disappointed. He reached down, grabbing a handful of Jace’s hair and wrenching his head back so he had to look at me. “You see what you’ve done, boy? You’

JACE I stayed where I was long after Brian disappeared.The night swallowed him whole, like he’d never been there to begin with. The parking lot fell quiet again, but my pulse didn’t slow. If anything, it spiked harder.Brian Matthias.So that was it.All the sneaking attitude. The sudden confide

Kamara’s POVIt was well past three in the afternoon and still no sign of him.Was he deliberately avoiding me… or was I reading into things the way I always did?I shoved the thought aside, focusing instead on the cup of ice cream in my hands, the once solid, now a sad, melted swirl I kept stirrin

Kamara pov.At first it started off like a blurry haze, but the moment his hands snaked their way around my waist in that solid, unyielding grip, I knew I’d crossed a line.One I wasn’t sure I wanted to stop.The first press of his mouth against mine was firm, like he’d already made a decision and

Jace’s POV“I can’t believe this,” she said, breathless. “I really can’t.”She sat back down, lifting her glass again without thinking. She refilled it.I watched, silent.“It’s a scam,” she decided, laughing. “Being grown. Total scam.”She took another sip.Then another.At some point, she pushed
