All Chapters of Queen Of Hearts: My Ex Or My Next.: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

KaidaThe patient dog eats the fastest bone— the perfect summary of my wonderful life. I wiggled my brows, euphoria dancing in my bones, as I stared proudly in the mirror, adjusting my tie. Five depraved years? It was worth the wait. The hunger, frustration and anger from yesterday, all shredded out in the space of one night. One unbelievable night. The way she moved, clutching onto me, and basking in the glory of my dark side, f**king divine. The thread of “Kaida’s” falling from her lips like a siren drawing me to her soul. God! Call me, baby, I'd gladly drown in your ocean.It wasn’t just about raw intimacy; it was more about feeling complete. Knowing I have something to live for, to die for, without bothering about a third-party ex-husband throwing shades for a second chance, or my insecurities when she mingled with other men. It's being proud, confident, and lucky that Laura Crawford was mine. Only mine, till death do us part.I slid open the drawer, taking out my cologne, an

LauraEvery step toward the door steamed with nostalgia and vengeance, the murderous thoughts louder than my heels. I stood in front of Kai’s office, watching the jezebel of a sister being yelled at by Kai— nonsense. If I had my way, she’d be six feet, rotting with maggots, and burning in the depths of hell. But that was the problem, I couldn't, and for a swift second, I hated my parents for birthing this parasite. Because as much as I wanted to hate her, the stupid bond tethering us as sisters had me feeling nothing. No hate, no love, just a title— Sister. She poisoned me, they both scarred me, yet my soul chose Kai as its prey. Swirling him in ink, and drowning her in memories of family dinners, shared rooms, and girlish secrets. “Lulu, Leila’s your sister, and you’d do well never to forget that. In dark or light, promise me,” were my father’s last words, and deceased or not, I’d always honor it.Now she was at my mercy, and my way of revenge was fishing out my phone and callin

LauraThe words hung heavy in the air like a dense fog. “B+”- Kaida’s blood group.Impossible!Copper exploded in my mouth from the force of my clench. I wasn't dreaming. It was real. My world was intact, my lie was unscathed. He lied. Lucian lied. I had thought of ending us both, before he makes anything of the truth. Grab the wire, flip the change-over and fry us dead, along with the secret. The perfect last-minute plan. Little did I know I wasn't the only truth thief. Lucian McCall: Kai’s childhood friend. The most noble man I knew, who saved lives for a living. Now he just killed years of trust without even blinking. Why did he lie? Did he suspect something was off? Moreover, I wasn't expecting it to be so… easy. “Laura, how many pints are we talking about?” Lucian echoed through the speaker. “Was Kaida badly injured? Kevin’s current stats don't allow for a blood transfer; his chances of anemia are high. Hello?”Kai stared silently, a plethora of emotions swimming in his

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

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
