Laura

Frustration bubbled in my chest as the cold water made contact with my skin. I gently rinsed my face as smudges of brown filtered down the sink openings— I was never a fan of mascara, nor very welcoming to acne.

I turned off the tap, took out my napkin and patted my face dry. Going shopping wasn't on my radar, but getting spanked with sweat? A cosmetic nightmare.

At times, I wonder how people could be so laissez-faire to the detriment of others. I had been skimming for corporate wear in the blouse section when a silver-haired septuagenarian shot out of nowhere, panting, with his index finger grazing his temples.

In a blink, he flicked his fingers, launching arrows of sweat into my eyes and forehead. I had clenched my jaw before notes of apology came signing in my ears: “Am sorry, my child. Please, forgive an old man.”

I had just nodded and stepped out of the scene making straight for the bathroom, while muttering curses to Aria under my breath.

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   Tattered Soul

    Laura “Hello, Kevin. We'll touch on algebra today. Get ready; I'll see you in school.”The words read like a death sentence: burning, hopeless and unshaken. I shook my head, refusing to believe my little angel had met Asmodeus himself. How could I be so ignorant? Putting revenge at the forefront while my son's happiness withers on the queue?If I had been present, giving him bedtime kisses, or reading him a poem, or showing up at his school for once, he wouldn't find solace in the arms of a monster.I had gone through the chat from the first ‘Hi’ to the devil's visit info. Kevin had explained how his parents never had time for him. From how they value business deals over warm hugs, and private jets over driving him to school, and promising texts over bedtime stories. My eyes watered with every painful line. Despite being emotionally vacant with him, his loyalty never dwindled. Kai had asked for his parents' names, pictures, or contacts, and with every request, Kevin declined pol

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   White Love and Red Love. Devil and Little Angel

    Laura Scorching breaths jammed my nostrils, the heat so potent in my brain like meat grilling in an oven. I jolted from the depths of my sleep, my eyes snapping open, accompanied by a loud shriek. I thrashed choppily, my nerves off-kilter, as I hurled a pillow to the shadow before me.Laughter echoed through the room, clashing with arrows of colorful words, as I switched on the lights. I calmed my breath, anxiety murdering any remnants of sleep, and widening my eyes to their full roundness. My eyes locked onto crystal ones, inches away from mine, and gleaming with mischief. “Good morning, wifey,” he whispered, grinning. I threw him a light kick, frowning. “What’s good about a heart attack?!”I shoved him back. “I thought you were the Boogeyman trying to rip out my soul. Christ!”His head reared back, his laughter more profound and throaty. “Boogeyman?” He waved me off. “Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.” I narrowed my eyes, huffing. His expression shifted, seriousness maskin

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   Hurt And Lust

    Laura Later that night The moonlight sifted through the window cracks, combining with the swirling mist, making everything blur with blue. I leaned back on the jacuzzi bathtub as the hot mint water seeped into my pores, matching the heat running through my veins.How dare he waltz into my life as if nothing happened? Pinning me to the wall and requesting a chance to talk?Trying to make a truce? After all he did. I scoffed inwardly, my heart frowning with rage. No, Asmodeus, the battle line has been drawn; there can be no peace, only bloodshed.Ugh! The maniacs have a daughter. Poor girl, I hope she follows a different lead, one that doesn't involve poisoning others. The animosity I had been nursing in my mind kicked to health. My eyelids tightened, the pressure pulling at my skull as I tried to crane the image deep into my brain— Total failure. Blue eyes; their oceanic hue was the only light, blooming in the darkest part of my mind. Pushing my head forward, my palm landed on th

  • Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.   Foreboding and Boundaries

    Laura The next morning Kaida and I, working at the same place. Hell would break loose; oh ye demons of flirting, step forth. Kaida had texted me last night that I'd be taking over as COO at Topex. Unfortunately, I just saw the message this morning and Aria dragged me out of the house to go shopping, as a means of celebration. Euphoria danced in my bones at the thought of it. Serpents, here I come. I leaned back on the car window as the blur of houses and greenery zipped by, and I could feel Aria's gaze searing into me, waiting to hear Prince Charming's voice. At times, I find it funny; my best friend is crushing on my husband. I shook my head, the phone buzzing on top of my lap. Finally, he answered: “Yo, Wifey,” his tenor filtered through the speaker. I rolled my eyes as if he could see it. “Hello, Huzzi.” Silence reigned for a few seconds, except Aria, who was grinning like an idiot. I shoved her back lightly, the idiot wouldn't budge. “Are you going to keep
