Alexa (Prudence)

Friday, August 8th. Two weeks later…

‘From all the evidence before me, I hereby declare that, pending further investigations, the suspect shall not be granted bail. Considering the gravity of the crime and subsequent framing of her sister, further inquiry is therefore to be conducted into Miss Ashley Hills. I also hereby declare the late Miss Alexa Hills acquitted. It’s only unfortunate she isn’t alive to hear this for herself. Next case, please…’

The judge’s words from three days ago still ring in my head, echoing through me as I sit in the presence Helia and Pier in Pier’s New York apartment. In my hands are copies of official documents. Papers Helia just handed me, proving Alexa Hills is innocent.

My name, cleared. I’m free.

But my sister, she framed me.

I remember her haunted eyes that day in court. Gone was the polished elegance. She looked ruined. Older than her age. Defeated. I had been there, buried in a scarf and shades, tucked away in the back row. Wa

Helia needs to stop posturing himself as the "better choice" when he literally is the reason she has a jagged ass scar on her face. He deformed her for a flimsy ass reason. Pier should tell her tbh

  • Ripples And Hills   Epilogue

    Alexa. July 27th. Two years later. Wisteria Vine, Northern Finland. Noon. “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you…” The song rings loud through the halls of the mansion, cheers rising as my twins, Javier and Jewel, mash their little fists into frosting. They’re two years old today, identical miracles who fill every space with light. “Jewel…Javier…look up for the cameras,” I laugh, kissing their messy faces. They giggle, trying harder to steal icing. “Alexa, let them be,” Grandma chuckles, scooping some herself. The twins instantly mimic her, their mouths smeared in sugar. Around me, warmth hums. Family, grandma's distant family in Finland. Not high society, not money choked sophistication. Just love. All morning, calls have poured in. Mum, Aunt Anniika and Uncle Brian, Jon, Eve, Jace, their kids, voices filled with joy. My heart swells with gratitude. Because two years ago, I fought through a grueling storm of pain to bring these two into the world. I still remember the

    Helia. Friday, 6th February. A week later… Morning. I stand at my office window, watching snow drift past the glass. Coffee sits warm in my hand, but I barely taste it. I should feel something today, it’s our birthday. But all I feel is the weight of loss pressing down on me. My brother. The woman I love. Both gone, in different ways. The company staff didn’t dare sing that cursed song. I made it clear anyone who tried would lose their job. Still, solitude doesn’t bring me peace. It only amplifies the storm in me. My mind drags me back to a week ago, the night Alexa’s family nearly burned alive. The same night the Special Weapons team had to break into the Hills mansion to rescue the family, since one of them had already been shot. I remember the suffocating smell of petrol, when we stormed in. I remember Erwin’s frightened eyes, when he stared at Alexa, as he was cuffed. Alexa who had stepped out of the shadows, a storm herself, and had saved her family. She hadn’t flinched when

    Erwin. “Erwin… please, let’s get Jon to the hospital…” Scarlett begs, voice trembling. “Shut up!” I roar, slicing through her plea. The gun swings toward her chest. They all flinch, and my lips curl into a grin. Good. They finally see who’s in charge. I’m going to kill them all tonight. Every last one of them. Rage scorches through me, blistering, relentless. All those years of planning, wasted. Now the fucking cops are breathing down my neck. I’ve been hiding like a rat, slipping past cameras, ducking the streets. But today? Today I snapped. A tip said the cops found my latest hole, so I came here. To finish this once and for all. “You think I did all this for nothing?” I snarl, my voice breaking raw. “I wormed my way into your husband’s heart, into your precious family, just to make you pay, Scar. To hurt you like you hurt me when you broke up with me all those years ago.” Her gasp stabs the air. She covers her mouth. I lean close, close enough to breathe her in, and I sniff h

    Alexa. Meanwhile. I finally get home from Martha’s. She found a place of her own, still kind enough to stick by me, even with Neil there. He was worried when he saw me crying but he didn’t press. Martha will tell him later, I guess. I didn’t tell her everything. Some things are too raw to say aloud. Killing someone, how do you put that into words? The night should be full of small promises. For me it’s full of dread. My thoughts keep snapping back to Hulio’s accusation about Helia and to Helia’s reaction, his silence that felt like a confession. He couldn’t defend himself. That silence is the thing that breaks me more than the accusation. I pull my legs up the steps to the front door and freeze when a shout rips through the air. A gunshot follows. I drop to the ground without thinking, crawling low to the door. My heart is in my mouth as I edge to a window and peer in. My breath dies in my throat. Erwin has Mum, Grandma, Jon and Aunt Anniika at gunpoint. Jon lies on the floor in

    Helia.Meanwhile…Minutes after Alexa leaves, I finally will my limbs to move. I’d stood there when she stormed out, rooted like a fucking statue. My breaths shallow, my chest tight, Hulio’s threat echoing in my skull.‘I will ruin that thread of trust she has in you…’The words won’t stop circling, each one a blade. But then a faint trace of her scent hits me, and something breaks loose inside me. She belongs to me. I don’t want this to end. I don’t want us to end, not because of Hulio. Not because of Roderick. Not because of my silence.So I drag myself outside. But she’s gone. Her car, wherever she parked it, I can’t find it. Panic claws through me, anguish ripping my chest open. I choke back sobs and dive into my own car.I dial her again. Voicemail. Again. Voicemail. Again.“Come on, Alexa… pick up.” My voice is raw as I weave through traffic, vision blurred from tears. My chest is caving, my heart a fist of pain. This can’t be happening. Not now. Not like this. How dare Hulio b

    Alexa.Friday, 30th January, two days later…Evening.Helia kisses me deeply before he rises for the bathroom. I hear him take a leak while I shift on the bed and reach for my phone. 4:30 p.m. I groan, more from mischief than frustration. I can’t believe I drove to his office just because I missed him. I wanted him. I wanted his touch. I chuckle, swinging my legs off the bed.We’re in an adjoining bedroom in his office. It’s cozy. Stylish, just like him. I remember what he said when I asked why he needed a room in the office, when he backed me up here an hour ago and kissed me.“I lay my head in here whenever I have tons of work to do.” He kissed me again; his hands finding the curve of my dress, exploring. He had me spread before him on the bed as he sucked me, loud and relentless, making me squirm. Then he filled me with his hard cock. At some point when we were done, I found his guitar and asked him to play. He did. That voice of his charming in that moment.Now I’m sated and ti
