Novel & Cerita Lauren Reynolds Criminal Minds

I left David's office with my world wobbling sideways and drove through February slush that matched my mood. By the time I reached the penthouse, paranoia had settled in my chest like a stone. Everyone was a suspect. Everyone had motives. Everyone could be the enemy wearing a familiar face. Lauren was in the kitchen, staring out at the gray afternoon like she was waiting for something. "Someone close to me is feeding information to federal investigators," I said without preamble. She turned slowly. Her face gave nothing away. "And you think it might be me." "I think I don't know who to trust anymore.” The words came out like damaged glass. True and cutting.

Like a child that didn’t clean up his room properly, and left bits of his toys behind. “We should go,” Jake said, a tremor in his voice. “We shouldn’t be here. What if the killer comes back?” Lauren ignored him, turning on the spot, trying hard not to think about the parts scattered everywhere as pieces of human beings. It was easier to think of them as doll parts, as broken toys, because if she really focused on them she would just scream and never stop. Like Mrs. Schneider had when she found the girls in her yard. David said she did that. She screamed and screamed.

Maximus switched to the mind link, connecting the three of us together so I could hear. “Lauren has been spotted entering Dorcas’ home—the woman who gave you the flower vase,” Kade said. “Is she still there?” Maximus asked sharply. “Yes.” A pang of suspicion hit me, but I tried not to dive into a conclusion without concrete evidence. But it was Lauren. Her mind was evil already, so if Gabriel approached her to work for him, she wouldn’t hesitate to agree, even while pregnant. Perhaps I made a mistake when I pleaded with Maximus on her behalf to allow her to roam freely around the pack.

Aiden said, "Ever since she showed up at Carter's celebration party, her intentions were clear. Only a fool like you could still think that she's innocent. If she's innocent, then what about Rhea?" Peter was speechless. He had always assumed that Rhea was bullying Lauren and taking over her life. But looking back now, it was Lauren who was disrupting Rhea's world. … Back in the hospital, Lauren couldn't stay put. She called Sharon. "Sharon, can you find out where the Ravelle residence is?" Sharon was puzzled. "Why are you looking for them?" Even if she didn't believe that Rhea was Liam's daughter, the Ravelle residence wasn't a place just anyone could go.

“Because, from the looks of it, those bastards are getting away with outrageous crimes. They must be paying bribes, and I’m sure there are a lot more people involved in this.” “Unfortunately, in the end, money calls the shots with the law,” Lucian shot back, shaking his head with a bitter smile. “And those worms know exactly how to manipulate the system.” Before I could respond, Lauren’s phone pinged with a notification. The sharp sound filled the silence of the room, and I saw her fingers tremble as she grabbed the device. “It’s… a message,” she whispered, her voice almost breaking, as she unlocked the screen. It was a video. I saw her eyes widen even before she pressed play. A chill ran do

THE JUDGE’S SECRET BOOK 1 Intro: Dr. Camille Laurent is a criminal psychologist with a reputation for reading even the most dangerous minds. When she’s assigned to evaluate Judge Zyon Jones Zavarelli, a federal appellate judge accused of corruption, she expects tension, defensiveness, and evasive answers. But what she doesn’t expect is the man himself: to be bold, brass, also younger than she anticipated, he’s unnervingly precise, and disturbingly aware of her every thought and reaction.

my mate shouts, and Lauren flinches. "I helped him commit murder. I told him where to hide after he did it...I only helped him because I knew he wasn't a Layne supporter. He was thrilled the Grays came down and killed Graham. I didn't think he was going to be a threat to the pack. But Samantha became our Luna...He said he would disclose that I helped him get into the pack house. He said he would show my texts talking about where he should hide. He was going to paint me as a traitor and kill Trevor at earliest convenience...that's what he told me when I threatened to tell Daniel. He had it all planned out before he came to blackmail me. He had been watching the Layne house since he killed Haz

“Their house will be sealed off. They are not allowed to receive visitors. And this is vital: confiscate all electronic devices. No phones, no internet, no radio, no access to cable television. Nothing that allows them to communicate with the outside world.” The captain nodded and took the couple away. Beta, devastated, could barely walk. Lauren, her face white with rage, shot one last look of hatred at her husband. When the door closed, I felt the tension. “It was her,” Aiden said, his voice harsh but firm. "David's denial was genuine. Lauren's panic was the denial of an actress about to be exposed. She had access to the codes. She must have been Aldric's mole in her own home."

“Me? Accuse me of such crime? Lauren, I’m hurt.” Her eyes narrowed to dangerous slits. “You want to talk about crime? Fine.” She stormed past him, heading straight for the supply closet. Larry trailed behind her, his curiosity obviously piqued. “What are you doing?” Lauren didn’t answer, yanking open the door and pulling out a bright red bucket with a determined look that sent a clear message: revenge. “Oh no,” Larry muttered, instinctively taking a step back. “Lauren, let’s talk about this...”

“Mr. Reed, this is Detective Harris. We’ve brought Lauren in for questioning based on the evidence you provided. She denied everything, but we have enough to move forward. We’ll be executing a search warrant on her property and accounts. We’ll keep you updated on every step interviews, forensic analysis of the vehicle, financial tracing. If the evidence holds, we expect formal charges within the next few days. In the meantime, we recommend a protection order for Emily.” I thanked him and hung up. Bella looked at me expectantly. “They called Lauren in,” I said. “She denied it, but they’re proceeding. Arrest is coming soon.” Bella let out a shaky breath and pressed closer to me. We sat in sile
