Still a Murderer

“He is not, right??” I said, and before he could respond, I continued speaking.“What am I even thinking ?? He couldn’t possibly be the one,” I said. “So who was it that tried to set up Harry??” I asked.“Whatever you’re currently thinking is the truth, Naina,” he replied, and I nearly scoffed.“Is that what the detectives came to share?? That Lucas was responsible?? Who would even consider that??” I said.“He passed away today, and now they’re trying to pin it on him?? Was it Harry?? Who is trying to frame him??” I asked, and Kyle fell silent.“Do you actually believe that?? Why would Lucas want to frame or kill DK?? Just why?? Lucas is your brother, Kyle. Why would you even entertain that thought??” I said.“Because he told me,” Kyle said in a quiet voice, causing my eyes to widen, and I struggled to find my words, completely stunned.“It’s hard to accept, but it’s true, Naina; Lucas was behind it,” Kyle said, and I slowly sank back onto the couch, overwhelmed with the multitude of

Her Own Weakness

"I’m not sure what game you’re playing right now, but I came here for one reason, and that’s because..." he leaned in closer to Harry and whispered something in his ear.The expression on Harry's face was one of shock, but it quickly shifted, and he scoffed."I wish you the best of luck," Kyle said, turning to me. "Let's go," he added as he took my hand."Do you really believe you’re not a murderer?" Harry questioned, and Kyle turned to look at him. I didn’t understand why Harry was trying to provoke him, and I glanced at Ethan, hoping he could intervene, but I knew he couldn’t."Kyle, just ignore him. Let’s go," I urged, looking back at Kyle while Harry directed a look at me, the same one he gave me when I first entered the ward.Silence enveloped the room as he continued staring at me until Kyle stepped in front of me to block Harry’s gaze."You know I used to cherish Keith when we were kids, but just why did he try to kill me? Why?" Harry asked, and that was the same question that

A Monster Will Always Be A Monster

And just at that moment, she scoffed and placed her handcuffed hands on the table while directing her fingers toward me.“I’ve always found you fascinating because you sometimes make foolish choices and have ridiculous thoughts, and that is intriguing,” she said, but I remained silent as I observed her.“Do you really think I didn't have any objectives from the start that I would let someone like Lucas become my weakness ? Do you honestly believe I would allow Lucas to be my Achilles' heel?” she said, bursting into laughter and then she continued, “That's the issue with people who have weaknesses, they’re often blinded by them, paralyzed by their own insecurities and fears. They allow it to consume them, and ultimately, it’s precisely those weaknesses that lead to their downfall. I've witnessed it repeatedly, and you think I'd want to get attached or obsessed with someone to become my weakness?” She said with a smir

Monsters Are Not Born, They Are Made.

Mrs. Prescott then turned her gaze toward the guard who was still just a few inches away from us.“It’s surprising that it’s not nearly time yet,” she said as she looked back at me.“Don’t try to sidestep the conversation we’re having and tell the truth,” I replied.“Naina,” I heard Kyle whisper, but I paid no attention.“Do you realize that the truth might be difficult for you to swallow, to the point that you’ll struggle to believe it?” she said.“Just say it,” I said.“Oh, quit being so eager! Before I can share anything, there’s something I need to say first,” she stated, directing her gaze at Kyle.“Why didn’t you challenge me?” she asked, and I was unsure what she referred to, while Kyle seemed to understand and simply scoffed.“It’s not like it’s going to change anything now, is

The Detectives

“The craziest part is that …” she then hesitated and stared at Kyle for a few seconds, making me to glance at Kyle as well before she turned her face back to me.“I suppose one day you’ll discover for yourself why you and Kyle were never meant to be,” she said.“Oh, do you think it’s your story I’m eager to hear? I want to know everything, just everything,” I replied.“If I tell you everything now, wouldn’t that be too simple?” she said, and my impatience and frustration began to grow. I didn't want to return to this place ever again to see her face.“Then what about Lucas? You were going to talk about him before you started your story,” I said, and she grinned.“You seem so eager to hear whatever,” she said, but I didn’t respond. “As I mentioned, do you think Lucas was the sweet and innocent type?” she asked, looking at Kyle aga

Tears in the Rain

Once we got out of the detention center, Kyle opened the car door, but I shook my head. “I’d prefer to be alone, please,” I spoke in a quiet, distressed voice. “Naina, you’re not okay right now, and you can’t expect me to just leave you,” he replied, and I looked at him. “Tell me what Mrs. Prescott said about Lucas isn’t true, please tell me,” I said, and Kyle looked away, confirming that what Mrs. Prescott had said was indeed true. A tear fell from my eye.“I really need to be by myself,” I whispered and began to walk away from him as different thoughts raced through my mind. Why is all of this happening to me? Why did Lucas act like that? Just then, I sank to a squat, and someone hurried over to me. “Naina,” it was Kyle. “She said that’s not all, what could possibly be worse th

The Truth Hurts

After we returned home, my clothes were still wet and I was trembling, Kyle led me to my room.“You should change your clothes; I’ll be back shortly,” he said as he left the room. I glanced around the room, looked at the mirror, then closed my eyes and reopened them, feeling a strong throbbing in my head, realizing I might genuinely fall sick.I removed my soaked clothes and headed to the bathroom for a hot bath. I spent several minutes in the tub reflecting on everything Mrs. Prescott had mentioned, but I knew dwelling on it could worsen my situation. I attempted to push the thoughts away, but I understood it wouldn’t be easy to ignore them indefinitely. Afterward, I changed into fresh clothes and slowly made my way to the bed. As I sat down, I groaned from a sharp pain in my head, just as Kyle walked in carrying a tray.He approached me, placed the tray on the stool beside my bed, took out the oatmeal he had made, stirred it with a spoo

The Letters

“The truth hurts, I know,” my voice cracked, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. “But I hate this… I hate that I’m hurting now, only to get hit with something worse later. I’m tired, Kyle. I’m so… tired. And it scares me because I know there’s more coming.”The tears prickled but refused to fall, leaving my eyes burning and my chest heavy. Kyle didn’t say anything at first. He just pulled me into him, one arm firm around my shoulders, his other hand patting my back in a slow, steady rhythm.“Everything will be fine,” he whispered, his breath warm against my ear then after a while, I slowly pulled back and his gaze met mine“That’s why I want to face everything head-on,” I said and he continued to like at like at me like he didn’t understand but he understood even if he didn’t say it.“Please, Kyle. Tell me everythin

What Happened That Night

Kyle let out a long sigh, then crossed to his desk. Without a word, he opened his laptop and brought it over, settling beside me. The glow from the screen lit his face in sharp angles.“Watch,” he said.The video flickered to life.It was grainy, filmed in low light, but I didn’t need clarity to recognize them.Amy and Lucas.Amy stood on the edge of a tall building, her figure swaying slightly in the wind. Lucas was a few steps behind her. In the clip, he suddenly shoved her. She stumbled… and disappeared over the ledge.Lucas froze, peering down. His hand shot to his mouth, his body jerking back in visible shock. Then, without another glance, he turned and fled.My heart stopped. I turned to Kyle, my voice shaking.“I… I thought you said Lucas didn’t kill her. You told me it was an accident. This—” I pointed at the screen, my mouth trembling. “This doesn’t lo

The Revenge

Kyle looked at me for a while like he was deciding if he should even say it. Then he stood up.“And about why Lucas killed the detective… you’re wondering, right?” he said, letting out a tired sigh.I just stared at him, my chest heavy.“The reason is the same reason Mrs Prescott said we’re not meant to be together,” he said, and my eyebrows drew together.“And why is that?” I asked, watching as his Adam’s apple moved up and down and he licked his lower lip like the words were hard to spit out.“Lucas found out the accident that happened wasn’t really an accident,” he said finally, his voice low. “Someone was behind it. Someone planned it. And that person killed our parents.” He avoided my eyes, and my heart started beating faster.“He later found out who it was,” Kyle went on. “And when he did… the anger, the revenge, it
