True Hero Novels & Stories

—---------------- A week later… Maha Lakshmi revealed all the truths to the police. She was sent to a female prison. But she starts beating everyone in the cell.

“Just keep an eye on him.” It might not be a smart idea but Hank just lost his brother and sister-in-law. He is thirsting for vengeance and I can tell. I hear him approach and he hands me a small vial. Veritas isn’t a truth serum but one which lowers the inhibitions of the drinker, enough for them to spill secrets. Aliya produced some for me as whim and I’ve kept the few vials just in case we ever need them. I open the cork and grabbing the man’s jaw, I force the beautiful golden coloured liquid down his throat. He tries to spit it out but I clamp my hand over his mouth, preventing him from doing so.

"Our Matheo's got a heart of gold, doesn't he?" Zyra leaned in with a mischievous twinkle in her eye as she playfully flicked his nose. Matheo tilted his head up with a grin.

Life was going great for her. She finally made partner and made a name for herself. Not only that, but she was also invited to be a guest professor. Holly was more successful than I had ever been even at the height of my career. She followed her principles and proved that she was right. I could no longer insist my principles were correct. Perhaps, I knew I was wrong from the start but refused to admit it.

She still stared at me, but the killing intent had changed into doubt and curiosity. "How did you know?" she asked. "I actually know more than that," I answered. I pushed myself up slowly and looked her in the eye. "I know you faked your disability to make your real enemy let her guard down. I also know the enemy is Olivia, the one who sent me to you." Abby's pupils shrank. "We are meant to be allies, Ms. Davidson," I said. My throat still hurt, and my voice was rough. "Olivia stole my father's fortune. She switched me with the child of our housekeeper and used me as a throwaway, sending me to you to die. She's also the person who planned the car crash that killed your parents."
