Laura

A bashing scream tore through my throat as Kai slumped to the floor, blood pooling beneath him.

Natasha shot him at the exact spot he had driven a jagged wire into his abdomen.

Terror paralyzed me, wiping my brain numb.

I couldn’t think, or get angry. The only thing I could feel was the ruckus stirring in my chest.

Kai’s eyes met mine, flickering with a thousand words, as he slurred. “I-I’m sorry, L-”

Then, he went limp and my heart died.

No!

Something primal twitched my chest and the words flew out in a harsh tone. “Why did you shoot him?!” I barked at Natasha.

Christ! Kai was her nephew, and she shot him without remorse.

How many demons do I have to come across in one day?

“Natty, what have you done?” Kendrick whispered, wheeling into the room. “Did you–”

“K-Kaida said he behaves pyschotic. I only wanted to knock him out, I-I didnt—”

“Please, don't tell me it was fentanyl laced, because why the hell would you bring that thing here, Natty!” Kendrick raked a hand through h

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   FRACTURED

    KAIThe cops should probably accompany me to murder Lucian, then, when I'm done slitting his throat, I'd willingly walk into my cell. No need for a judge’s sentence or a f**king Lawyer. The only thing that bothered me was getting a perfectly fitting inmate jumpsuit and waiting out my last days in jail. The pain bit through my abdomen, the one in my chest cut deeper.Kevin was my son, and I didn't spend time with him. As much as it hurts me, I could live with that. I betrayed him as a father even before he came into this world, stood there and watched him almost die. It was a miracle he survived. When he's fully grown, he'd be mature enough to hate me for the loss of his other twin. So what if Laura kept him a secret? I deserved it. I lost my right to him, and I'd be damned if I get another chance. I could still remember the pain in her eyes, the animosity in her words, and that protectiveness to keep Kevin away from me, as if I were some demon after his soul. Of course, she

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   SECRETS DON'T DIE

    Kaida “What’s her name again?” Kendrick asked, wheeling to his rows of computers. The room was mid-size, illuminated by dim blue LED lights, and a few swivel chairs. Dozens of desktops sat across the mahogany table, taking about a quarter of the room, with a few tablets scattered on his work table— Nerd’s haven as usual. Kai spent most of his time here with uncle Kendrick, solving equations, plotting hack prints, and reveling in the madness of wisdom, that’s how he got his smartness virus. Unfortunately, Kendrick was racking his brains on a decade-old theory of some sort, neglecting traffic signs, and ended up having an accident, leading to prostate failure. Kendrick can’t have children, still, the bastard loves his theory more than his life. More than his wife? Not so sure. Natasha’s beauty was goddess-level. Amber-eyed like Tommy, with short dark hair and spotless caramel skin, despite being in her mid-fifties. A throaty cough intruded my thoughts, and I met Kendrick’

    LauraThe words hung heavy in the air like a dense fog. “B+”- Kaida’s blood group.Impossible!Copper exploded in my mouth from the force of my clench. I wasn't dreaming. It was real. My world was intact, my lie was unscathed. He lied. Lucian lied. I had thought of ending us both, before he makes anything of the truth. Grab the wire, flip the change-over and fry us dead, along with the secret. The perfect last-minute plan. Little did I know I wasn't the only truth thief. Lucian McCall: Kai’s childhood friend. The most noble man I knew, who saved lives for a living. Now he just killed years of trust without even blinking. Why did he lie? Did he suspect something was off? Moreover, I wasn't expecting it to be so… easy. “Laura, how many pints are we talking about?” Lucian echoed through the speaker. “Was Kaida badly injured? Kevin’s current stats don't allow for a blood transfer; his chances of anemia are high. Hello?”Kai stared silently, a plethora of emotions swimming in his

    LauraNothing was hidden under the sun, right? But I vowed to take that sun to the grave, if it meant keeping my secret from the eyes of the world. A secret I had morphed into a lie. A lie I repeated to myself every day that has now lost its value of deception, and tastes like the truth. A twisted truth which has become the norm— Kaida was Kevin's father.Being a truth thief for five years kept me moving through ink and scar. Now the owner had come to collect his debt. I'd throw myself off a cliff before I share what's mine. Kai's hands roamed through the entirety of Kevin’s face, his grip hungry and gentle, like he couldn't get enough of him. My eyes landed on Tommy, sitting from away, and tapping on his phone. He caused this. First, cutting my chances of getting answers. And now, pushing my darkest secrets to the forefront. Rage zapped through me in megawatts, high enough to power this entire city.I moved, fists clenched. Not if I light up the f**ker first.“Your anger is

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   TRUTH THIEF

    LauraEvery step toward the door steamed with nostalgia and vengeance, the murderous thoughts louder than my heels. I stood in front of Kai’s office, watching the jezebel of a sister being yelled at by Kai— nonsense. If I had my way, she’d be six feet, rotting with maggots, and burning in the depths of hell. But that was the problem, I couldn't, and for a swift second, I hated my parents for birthing this parasite. Because as much as I wanted to hate her, the stupid bond tethering us as sisters had me feeling nothing. No hate, no love, just a title— Sister. She poisoned me, they both scarred me, yet my soul chose Kai as its prey. Swirling him in ink, and drowning her in memories of family dinners, shared rooms, and girlish secrets. “Lulu, Leila’s your sister, and you’d do well never to forget that. In dark or light, promise me,” were my father’s last words, and deceased or not, I’d always honor it.Now she was at my mercy, and my way of revenge was fishing out my phone and callin
