Laura

Five hours went by, and Kai had accepted his fate outwardly, but it didn't mean he did so on the inside. I knew him too well to believe that.

He'd battle with the heavens before he sits second place; COO was already second place, and candidly speaking, I'm surprised he wasn't dead from ego cancer.

The fall from grace had paralyzed his pride, but today was pure death. From the way his breath hitched when signing the demotion documents to his tattered clothes after being rough-handled by security, he looked like a madman in a three-piece suit.

Kaida had threatened to throw him back to prison if he attempted to attack me again, and cancelled this month’s salary as a firsthand warning.

To rub salt into aching wounds, Kevin called me using Seraphina’s phone, requesting his tablet, and sobbing bitterly that he had to reach out to Number Man regarding his Mathematics competition.

The pang became unbearable, and I retreated to my new office, drowning myself in work. Yes, I wanted r

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   THE QUEEN'S SIGNAL: NerdyXprotect

    KaiAn onslaught of morbid emotions corrodes every cell in my body, and I think my humanity must have broken from how murderous I'm seething.I leaned back in my chair, arsenic flooding my veins, with the smoky sting of nicotine fogging my senses. I had killed once in self-defense, but maybe it was time to rekindle old sins. Not with survival, but taking my time, slow and steady, and picking out every strand of arteries inside those motherf**kers, until they bleed dry, and arranging their bones in alphabetical order. After being stitched up by that succubus of a wife, I proceeded to observe my 6 o’clock ritual— making pancakes for my Sunshine. Luna had been so touchy, crying, and bathing me in iodine, even after lying to her that I was fine, and that I miraculously escaped a robbery attack. “I want to be a nurse, so that when I grow up I could take care of you, and sting those robbers in their wicked bum bums,” she had told me, sobbing, and I had smiled. “You can be anything you w

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

    Laura I dialed Kaida's number for the umpteenth time, but every time it connected, it went off immediately.Tommy doesn't know about his whereabouts, except that he sternly warned not to be followed, and that he had taken off with his emergency car.My heart twisted in despair, and I felt like I deserved a heart attack.Maybe he went through with his words? Fed up, angry, and disappeared? No, he wouldn't abandon Kevin? Me?Oh, Laura! You shouldn't have said that. He was going to kill his brother, what was I supposed to do? I should have kept shut and watched him destroy the man who ruined my life. And risked Kevin's future hatred? The fact that I planned on taking Kevin's paternal secret to the grave doesn't warrant I sat there, doing nothing, and watched his father die.Hurting Kaida or Kevin? Both carried ominous consequences, and I happened to choose the lesser evil— Kaida. Ugh!The guilt swelled in my chest like a neon balloon, and I think I might burst if I don't talk to someo

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   LUST AND LOST

    Kaida I've heard rumors of the dead springing back to life, but I never believed in them, and here I was, a testament to my greatest disbelief—— resurrection.She cupped my face with intimate grace, her velvety lips caressing mine, and breathed life into the deepest, darkest depths of my soul. I grabbed her waist, her delicate skin a contrast to my rigid grip, as I kissed her deeply, savoring the feel of her divine taste.I don't know if kissing an angel was a sin, but I'd burn in the deepest parts of hell before letting this goddess out of my arms.F**k money, luxury jets, penthouses, and other decorations labelling a rich man. She was the only universal piece that couldn't be bought with money, immune to sculpted faces, and ignorant of fashion trends. The world knew Kaida Crawford as a perfect man, with the entire world at the tip of his fingers. They saw the smiles on cameras, tailored suits on red carpets, and a business king ruling the headlines. They never saw a complex man

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   TESTED AND TEMPTED

    KaidaI died twenty minutes ago, but it still hurts like mad. The pain was an endless circle of torment, killing me, and bringing me back, only to crush me lifeless. My hands tightened around the steering, the leather squeaking from the force of my grip.After exiting Topex, I took my emergency car, which was normally parked lazily in my company's garage— a black Lexus 570.Tommy had opposed letting me drive in this condition, and I went nuts with him. But not before laying out strict instructions about keeping Laura safe, and if Kai came anywhere close, he should beat him to a pulp, and that he has my full support.My heart bleeds slashed open, shredding any remnants of hope, and has me choking on the pool of anguish.I needed to be far away so I won't have a soul attack.“If you kill him, Kevin and I will walk out of your life. I'm not joking, we'll go far away, you'll never see us again… you'll never have me,” was the only thing I could hear, amidst the deafening honks, and musse

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   HURTING KAIDA

    Laura “Didn't I warn you to stay away from my wife?” Kaida seethed with a possessive edge. “You demoted me. Only a fool won't make an effort to calm turbulent waters,” Kai replied, his voice relaxed. “Turbulent waters?” Kaida laughed, the sound twisted like a snarl. “The one raging between her legs is it?” I turned to Asmodeus, still on his knees. Christ! Get up, you fool. “Look, brother, groose, that f**king tastes like paranoia,” Kai wiped his mouth hysterically. I shot him a glare; his stupidity will be the end of him. Kai rose, holding my arm for balance, and Kaida's eyes blazed with something dangerous. “Sorry, can't call you that anymore. Right. If you had kept your stupid word, and not behaved like a c**t, I wouldn't be kneeling in front of your wife, looking like a f**king zombie, while she dangled hope like a bait, just to watch me beg, and left me hopeless,” Kai said in one breath. Disgust and fury clashed in my veins, merging into a ball of ugly emot
