Laura

“...ura!”

“Mom!”

“Wifey!”

My eyes snapped open, locking onto blue ones. Worry lines etched his features, his breath racing.

Tilting my neck, my eyes met steel ones encased in glasses, so teary that one blink and a tear would slide free.

Oh my, I almost gave Kevin a heart attack.

Pulling him into a hug, I whispered. “Mummy’s fine, okay?”

Snuggling inside my embrace, he replied. “You fainted for three hours, Mom. Dad was panicking, and I told him you’d be fine because you're very strong.”

He pulled back, turning to Kaida. “Wifey is fine, so don't cry like a baby. Mr. Tommy and I would go get water, so take care of her.”

“It’s not funny,” Kaida sniffled.

Kevin huffed, straightening himself and walking away with Tommy.

Laughter bubbled through the air, and I realized it was me.

It tasted new: Laughter. Their banter was amusing—big baby Kaida.

Kaida frowned. “If you wanted to kill me, you should have plunged a dagger deep in my heart.”

Faint hammering echoed through my head. “I–”

    LauraThe wages of stupidity were doom, and for once in my life, I felt like I married a complete idiot—with a big letter I. Playing martyr for what I didn’t do? No. Kevin was the only exception, and no one. To hell with the I’d die for you. I’ve seen worse than to believe that, and from my point of view, selflessness should be a crime, because selfishness pays a lot… at times, like now. Lava steamed in my blood as I glared at him in disdain.Kaida Crawford was offering to be a scapegoat for Natasha’s misdeeds, but the six-foot-d**khead doesn't know whether the butcher's knife would give a swift, merciful death or a slow, cruel one. Now Leila’s filed for murder, and the new update was that Mr and Mrs. Crawford might be going to jail. I should throw a goodbye party to celebrate my pre-prison sentence, but I'd jump off a cliff before being a fool. “You think I’d buy Kaida’s take-the-blame story?” Leila scoffed, dipping the phone into her bag. “The Laura I know never gave second

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

    KaidaThe most mysterious people kept silent, because a word from them boomed like a nuclear bomb, shattering nations in its wake.That was exactly how I felt. Shattered. Scorched. Scared.Like my world was crumbling into tiny bits, like the glass rain.My secret for six months had come back with a vengeful flame. The fear of losing them, now they were within grasp— Laura, Kevin, and the Caford empire.I blinked at Tommy, his gaze searing into me like the sun. Ari? Aston? Even the Judge was dead. I cleaned my tracks, and I never recognized him, yet he knew—“Does it bother you that a simpleton could hold your darkest secret and say it like a normal yes ma’am?” Tommy's voice carried an edge. I rolled my neck, feigning dragon aura, but I was shivering like a cornered mouse. “That simpleton might be resting in peace, anytime now.”Kendrick's laboured breath filled the air. I’m sure he was wondering, How come?Tommy snickered, the sound grating on my nerves. He could laugh? Robots don

    KaidaThirty minutes laterDespite what I felt for Kai, it doesn't change the fact that we came out through the same womb. And one thing I cherished the most was a clean slate, clean house, clean whatever you could think of. And if Kai wasn't half dead, I'd have bought the idea of a clean, swift death like one of the doctors had suggested. But Laura and Lucian, the beacons of hope, would never agree to that. Lucian was unrelenting, being Kai’s best buddy.Laura was whatever it was, but I understood what she felt. I felt that too when Ari died. Like a push-pull between the past and the present. For a moment, Laura had forgotten about scar, ink or whatever she souvenirs as her betrayal. Only pity and… forgiveness. But the world wasn't built on pity, if not murderers, rapists, and other criminals won’t suffer for their crimes.Still, Laura was complicated, and if there was one thing I'd admit, no one could ever understand her.Now, a promiscuous demoness and a psycho's blood we

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

    LauraA 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
