Bullet Heart Novels & Stories

His fist and jaw were clenched and all I c an do is gulp because of nervousness and the fast beating of my heart. 'Oh, Gabriel. What have you done?'

It was a gun. I wasn't the only one with that reaction though. When I looked over at the girl, I didn't fail to notice the little hint of fear clouding over her features, even though she masked it quickly. "Bullshit is what I deal with. He knows better." I heard his voice before he loaded the gun, the clicking sound echoing in the darkness. At that moment, I could only hear my heart beating wildly in my ears. I just couldn't believe I was actually witnessing this all with my own eyes, inside my high school.

I heard a male voice say " why do I feel I've heard that voice somewhere? " "And I promise you my dear, you'll get it, you just have to go according to the plan, after I get married to him I'll make him transfer all the money we want and we'll leave here immediately, now all you have to do is try come up with a new business deal or something, ok?" Melissa said

The vampire cardiologist, Aquilith, moved around the space with an economy of motion that was both efficient and hypnotic. “The echocardiogram results are conclusive, Doctor,” Aquilith said, her voice a low, cool murmur that seemed to vibrate directly in Liam’s bones. She tapped a long, pale finger on the lightboard where the images of a patient’s supernatural heart were displayed. “See the flutter in the left ventricle? It’s a classic sign of spectral fibrillation. Beta-blockers are useless. What she needs is a tuned frequency.”

she replies calmly. The doctor smiles. “It seems two things are going on. The silver from the bullet attached your heart because it touched the heart when it went through you. As such, when you were healed by the Luna, there was already damage to your heart,” the doctor says. “What kind of damage?” I ask before Jessica can say anything. She looks down to her hands and I can tell she is shutting down. “Right now, we do not have a technical term for it, but it is more like the heart is bruised or swollen. You might be finding it a bit challenging to breath, for example,” the doctor says looking to Jessica expectantly.

the doctor asked them. "We are his colleagues, we don't know who his family is," Kristina approached the doctor. "You better contact his family. The patient suffered heart failure. He had cardiomyopathy," the doctor said. "What do you mean by that illness doctor, kindly elaborate as I can't understand some terms," Kristina asked the doctor. She was so shocked by Luther's condition. "Cardiomyopathy is a condition that causes the heart's muscles to harden or grow weak. In layman's terms, there is an incident that triggers his anger causing him to have a heart attack," the doctor declared to them before leaving them.

Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV: The doctor took one look at the pill and swiftly provided an answer. “Miss, this is a medication used to treat cardiovascular diseases. More specifically, it’s commonly used for myocarditis.” My heart sank like it was weighted by stones. “Myocarditis? Are you sure?” I asked, urgency in my voice. In all my years of knowing William, I’d never heard of him having any cardiovascular diseases. “Positive,” replied the doctor confidently. He handed the pill back to me. “Whoever is taking these pills has a heart condition. Guessing from the high dosage, it’s pretty serious.”

“I—well, I didn’t want to pry. I figured you’d tell me when you were ready.” He nodded, a faint smile on his lips. “I appreciate that.” He exhaled, as if preparing himself. “I have Dilated Cardiomyopathy. It’s a heart condition. It means my heart has to work a lot harder than it should, and it doesn’t always keep up.”

He answered with another smile. “You were talking about some tests,” I started and he nodded affirmatively, “what does the tests say?” I asked and he sighed before answering me. “The tests we carried out show that you’re a month and three weeks pregnant,” he answered and my chest tightened, “But…” he continued and my jaw dropped. “There’s a but?” I asked in shock and the doctor nodded as he looked through his file again as if to be sure of what he was about to say next. “Yes, you have what we call Cardiomyopathy, it’s a disease of the heart muscle.” He tried to explain but I was still in the dark.

Beverly's lashes trembled. When Heather saw that Beverly was listening intently, she pulled a medical report from her bag and placed it in the latter's hand. "Harry inherited your heart condition," Heather said very softly, as if afraid of startling her. Beverly flipped through the report. The diagnosis written on it was "dilated cardiomyopathy". It was a type of heart disease that, in severe cases, could lead to heart failure. Her hands shook slightly, exuding a quiet sadness.
