City Lady Killer Novels & Stories

"I can hear your heartbeat." I looked at him. Slightly confused. "My what now?" "Your heartbeat. You are lying. You know where Gabriella is. I need you to tell me now." "Fine! You really want to know where Gabriella is? She's in the cemetery! Gabriella is dead and she walks out at night as a zombie! You know where the killer smile comes from? It's because she doesn't have lips anymore so her teeth are exposed in a killer smile!" I said it as calmly as possible. I thought for sure that it would enrage him. That he would demand of me to stop fooling around and just tell him. But right now he was gapping. Shock was written all over his face like he couldn't believe what he just heard.

Coco's eyes sparkled as she reached for the phone and relayed Stralath's instructions to her NIRL personnel. While he waited, Stralath scanned the document in his hands. Two more female killings in the area. A UC student and a waitress. Stralath studied their photos—blonde and petite—their bodies discovered near the water. One on the beach and one at Lake Casitas. Coco hung up the landline and sat back in her leather chair. "That killer isn't pod related—we've separated the murders." "A different perp to the toxin killer?" Stralath asked.

I needed quick answers from them. I needed to know how Mary winded up as the killer. My bet had always been on June. Or did they plan the whole thing together? Were they accomplices? "Why? Why did you kill her?" I demanded, wanting nothing but to get the answers to my million questions from her. She was silent. It increased my agony and I couldn't control the urge to flare up. "Luna Eleanor was a sweet woman. She didn't do anything wrong to you! She didn't even know you well enough to hurt you! How could you have done that to her? How?!"

"But this… this could be the lead we need." He glanced at Tera. "As for the kids… especially you," he added with a small smile. "You’ll receive a good citizen certificate." Tera blinked. "And the bounty reward," he continued. "We commend your efforts. Your intelligence… your wit." David spoke up. "What about the killer?" The officer’s expression turned serious. "Our findings show he’s been on the bounty list," he said. "Worth one hundred thousand." A low murmur spread among them. "He’s from South City," the officer added. "He’s taken many lives over the past seven years."

"—sources say the scene was gruesome, with evidence suggesting foul play. While police have not yet released details, witnesses report significant amounts of blood—" The spatula scraped against the pan. Karma hummed softly—something she heard at a charity gala last month. "—authorities have issued a statement requesting information on the whereabouts of Dr Karma Kuntz, 28, daughter of the deceased and Chief Surgeon and owner of Save the Child Hospital—one of the largest private medical facilities in the country, and the last person he was with—a young girl named Mia. That's all we know about her. Dr Kuntz has not been seen with him since she separated from him, and police are asking anyone w

**_Kael_** Victim: Kira Crowley. Age: Nineteen. Murder weapon: A weirdly crested dagger. Suspect: Not found. "Three deaths and one casuality in a row, this is more than just a rogue attack Father." We are in a meeting with the three Elders of City affairs and the Lyncs General and although Father never allows me attend such meetings, yet I had come here regardless.

My mother, Samantha, believed I was born a liar. Because she was deceived by my father's sweet words in her youth and abandoned after giving birth to me and my sister, Mia, she harbored a deep, bitter hatred for lies. She begged a witch for two magic rings. The rule was simple: if the wearer lied, the ring would glow red and burn them with magic. Mia's ring never hurt her, even when she broke a vase and blamed it on me. But if I simply said, "I'm thirsty," my ring would sear my flesh until I screamed. At first, I tried to defend myself, but Mom would just say, "The ring doesn't lie. Only through repeated punishment can your wicked soul be cleansed." After thousands of burns, even I started t

I could only imagine how they both looked at me while I swam in my own foolishness. The elevator chimed, and I turned towards it as I anticipated seeing Brad, my lawyer. As the elevator door opened, I was in shock as I saw three police officers step out of it. “Good day, Mrs. Mia Marcus,” one of the police officers, who was in the middle, greeted, dressed in a black suit, while the others were in police uniforms. “Good day. How may I help you?” I asked. “My name is Inspector Luke, and these are my colleagues. You are under arrest for the murder of Miss Eunice Connor,” Luke stated, and I died in that moment.

Looking at Delany, Vance said, "Hold off on that for now. I need to tell you something. We’re heading to City A. The killer has moved there and has already started killing again. The chief wants us to assist in the investigation, so get ready. Don’t forget." "Where? City A?" Delany's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why are we going to another city? I’m not the one catching the killer! I’m not going. If the killer is there, it’s too dangerous for me. All the victims are young women!" Vance had his own reasons for not wanting Delany to go. After all, she wouldn't be much help. But this was an order from above, and there was nothing he could do about it. His mood was already sour, and he didn't hav
