REBEL

Maxwell had urgently requested another meeting, but it's been too busy around the house, so today we met him at a cafe. Every bone in my body says something is wrong, but I have no idea where and when anything went wrong, so as we step into the busy cafe, it smells of strange incoming doom. when Maxwell slid into the booth across from me and Daniel.

His eyes said it all before his mouth even opened.

I gripped my cup tighter, fingers trembling around the porcelain. Daniel sat rigid beside me, cigarette between his fingers, though he hadn’t lit it yet. He was staring at Maxwell like he could already sense the storm about to crash into us.

Maxwell leaned forward, voice low and grave. “It’s confirmed.”

I swallowed hard. “What do you mean, ‘confirmed’?”

He didn’t blink. “Louisa. She’s dead.”

The words knocked the air right out of me. My throat went dry, and the cup slipped slightly in my grip, hot coffee burning against my knuckles. I barely felt it.

Daniel didn’t move. Not a muscle.

    DANIELQueen Rhodes stepped forward with Rebel and tossed a lily that bounced once before settling. Mr. Rhodes stood behind them like a wall you could lean a city against. Raul came up without ceremony and placed a single pebble on the edge of the grave some quiet ritual from a place I didn’t know he’d been.I hated the guy, at least I thought I did because in his eyes I kept seeing his love for Rebel but for today, I can't bring myself to feel any sort of hatred for him.He looked at me, and in his eyes I saw a silent determination; he'd stay, he'd help get justice. At my father’s grave I felt the shift; The air went completely humid. My father had been the shield between me and the core of our family for longer than I admitted. Funny how while they were alive I never allowed myself a fragile moment with them possibly because I grew up with so many nannies and the remaining teenage days I had spent in a boarding facility; I regret not being closer so for my kids I'd do much better.Low

    DANIELI don’t remember sleeping. I remember lying on the floor of our room with my suit jacket as a pillow because the bed felt like needles, biting into my skin to remind me that nothing was normal again. I remember Rebel kneeling beside me, her palm on my chest, counting my breaths like she could bully my lungs into working. At some point I must have blacked out. When I opened my eyes, dawn was crawling through the blinds and the house already had that quiet of people trying not to cry.Today was the funeral, I showered in water feeling completely numb, staring at the tile while my stomach turned. Black suit, white shirt, tie I couldn’t knot for a minute because my hands wouldn’t stop shaking. Klaus stepped in without a word, took the silk from my fingers, and cinched it neat like he was holstering a weapon. His face was carved from stone, but his eyes kept breaking. He tucked the tie, patted my shoulder once.“You don’t leave my sight,” he said.“Wasn’t planning to.”Downstairs smelle

    CILIAI’ve always hated waiting.Especially in this lifeless office.Father’s private office was cold and suffocating, lined with mahogany bookshelves that smelt of old secrets. The curtains were drawn shut, only letting in partial streams of sunlight, as though even the sun didn’t dare illuminate the truths hidden here.I was pacing, boots echoing against the tiled floor, my mind boiling with every thought of Rebel. Her smile, her stupid laughter, the way Daniel looked at her like she was air and he couldn’t breathe without her.That should have been me.Her kids should've been mine and Daniel's. I stopped by Father’s desk, my nails digging into the polished wood. I imagined Rebel sitting there, her smug face telling me I was nothing, and Daniel beside her, hand on her thigh, protective, tender. I slammed my hand down, the sound splitting the silence.“You bitch,” I muttered under my breath. “You stole him. You think you’ve won, but you have no idea what's coming.”The door creaked

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 123: REIGN

    WILLIAM JUNIORBetrayal, like an insignificant seedling, takes root slowly; the decision I've made today can be credited to my long-dead parents; I have always felt inconsequential, unlike my brother William Senior, who my father had willingly given everything to and who in turn decided to put an end to the order, legalise businesses and act like a saint. I can't take it anymore; the organisation needs the order now, and I need to be in charge to reactivate it, so I'd do what needs to be done.Betrayal eats at the edges of loyalty until nothing’s left but rot.With Daniel’s parents standing across from me in a damp, foreign cabin, with the aim of vacation, not knowing today will be the last day of their existence. The rain outside beat down against the roof like war drums. My men flanked the walls, rifles slung, eyes sharp, waiting on my word. I had chosen to come myself not because I enjoyed this part, but because betrayal this close to the bone couldn’t be delegated.I stepped ins

    MIA The urn felt lighter than it should have considering the realistic fact that it housed s full humans remain. Precisely Louisa whose life has now been reduced to ash. I held it with one hand, almost dangling it the way you’d hold a purse you didn’t really want to carry. The black ceramic was smooth, cold, and almost mockingly delicate for something that carried… her. Louisa. I laughed, a sharp, bitter sound that ripped out of me and startled the couple walking their dog a few yards down the beach. They quickened their pace. Good. Let them run. They didn’t want to see this, and I didn’t want their pity nor confused stares. “Look at you now,” I muttered to the urn, shaking it slightly, hearing the faint whisper of ashes shifting inside. “All prim and proper, always with your nails done, always flaunting your designer heels like you were queen of the damn world. And now? You’re nothing but dust in a jar.” I spat into the sand. The salt air burnt my lungs. The waves crashed,
