A Deadly Plot Novels & Stories

“On a normal day, I’ll take offence to that, but I’m too excited, way too excited! I can’t wait till he drinks it!” “Your excitement is contagious, my friend. The poison is deadly; considering how strong he is, it'll kill him slowly. He'll die a prolonged and painful death. Now that would be worth all the wait.” "That’s true; we’ve waited long enough," a new voice said in agreement with the second voice. I was shocked beyond words. I stood, my ears pressed against the wall as I listened to the evil plot. Although I knew there would be an attempt to poison Ares, hearing the careful way the assassins planned, it made it feel more natural.

Sebastian replied sharply, scanning the crowd until his gaze locked onto me in the corner. He crossed the plaza in long strides and seized my wrist, disappointment in his eyes. "Christina, this is your doing, isn't it? You really fabricated this just because you were jealous? You would destroy her over something so petty?" I clenched my teeth through the pain and met his gaze. "She poisoned our pack members. In your eyes, are their deaths just the price of a game?" "All I know is that you're trying to ruin Sabrina because you're jealous!" Sebastian shouted.

Ben's expression grew increasingly smug as he went on. He claimed that the day he kidnapped me, he was only after money. All his threats were just to scare us. There was no way he really meant to kill me. If I died, who would he extort money from? "You hate that brat Zero so much that you must've been wishing for him to drop dead for years, right? Damn it! Serena Camden, you're the one who put him up to it! You told him to throw himself onto the knife so you could frame me for it! You're downright venomous!"

"Before I moved in. Dante had eyes on this location before I did." "So Rico was watching me for your brother." "Yes." I put my cup down on the counter because my hand had gone tight around it. "And the men who grabbed me three weeks ago." "Connected to Dante's network," he said. "Yes." "And Rico is dead." He held my gaze. "Yes." "Did your brother have him killed or did you?" "That's a complicated answer." "Uncomplicate it," I said. He set his cup down and looked at me directly. "Dante wanted Rico silent because Rico knew things that could expose him.

“But we’re fixing it, okay?” Leo nodded slowly, but I could see he didn’t fully believe—or even understand—me. Before I could say more, there was a knock on the door. Luca pushed it open and leaned in. “Are you okay?” he asked. I nodded and shifted Leo off my lap. “Come in.” He closed the door behind him and glanced once at the kids before taking the seat opposite me. “We need to talk,” he said quietly. I sat up straighter. “I keep thinking about Raphael,” he continued. “That place… the way he was killed. That wasn’t panic. That was execution. Someone wanted him quiet, and with the way it was carried out it seems like he wasn't killed in that house.”

he said in a low, threatening voice. Leah took a step forward, eyes locked onto Rueben’s, something unspoken passing between them. Then, she nodded. Rueben grinned. "Good girl," he murmured, his fingers tightening around Sameera’s wrist. "She’ll make a fine investment." And just like that, Sameera realized the truth. Her father’s death wasn’t an accident. Her mother had given her away. And her nightmare was only just beginning.

“That’s why I won’t lie to you. This isn’t about territory. It’s about time.” Inez whispered, “You’re planning your death, aren’t you?” He looked at her. Not cold. Not warm. Just inevitable. “I’m planning their future. I’m just not in it.” ~~~~~~~~~ BERLIN — BACK TO THE TRADE Matteo pulled a small revolver from under the desk. Placed it beside the cube. “You want to know the irony?” he said. “Your father designed the first deadlock. Called it La Fine. You never knew that.” “I know now.”

"Do you have any idea how dangerous this man is? He's murdered dozens of Draganland's most important figures and leaked classified intelligence worth hundreds of billions. And you're still defending him?" "What?" The words struck like lightning. Everyone in the room felt their minds go blank from the shock. Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya's eyes widened. Graham went completely limp on the floor, trembling uncontrollably. No one could process what they had just heard. Zeke was behind those high-profile deaths across the country over the past two years? How was that even possible? Hazel stared ahead, glassy-eyed. Roxanne's body trembled. Anya clutched her head like she was about to lose her mind.
