abuse case detective fatale femme investigation love murder vengeance women

A woman scorned -- a medical professional -- a detective trying to catch a break -- dozens of unsolved murders...  

What do these all entail?  A game of cat and mouse, a tale of vengeance is what you'll find here.

She reached her breaking point.  She simply had enough.  Living with it, day in, day out at home; witnessing it on the work-front.  She was bound to crack some time, right?  Caught up in a vicious cycle of revenge, Mika Stafford adopted a second life - call her a vigilante if you will.  As she preyed on each and every one of them, she enjoyed the promiscuity these one-shots offered along with the vengeful release that came along when all was said and done.  She never wanted to give her heart to anyone.  Not anymore.  What she never counted on was Detective Ryans.  Ryans had the lead on the latest string of murders that seem to be left unsolved - the file of linked cases that would make or break his career.

After being linked to some of these unsolved cases, Mika finds herself weaving a rather intricate series of webs.  The chemistry between the two of them is undeniable but there's just something about Mika that keeps Detective Ryans coming back with more questions - questions only she seems to be able to answer.  With bodies piling up, widows cashing in on life insurance policies, and Mika's informative consults, Detective Ryans finds himself chasing a ghost of sorts - a female one if his instincts are right.  This vigilante/criminal is doing everyone a favour by knocking these lowlifes off but the fact of the matter is that this 'Femme Fatale' still needs to be apprehended.  After all, keeping everyone safe is a cop's job.

Stalked By A Serial Killer by NotCrazyYaJustStupid

"How do you feel now, Morgan?" She says, more pointing something out than asking a question. She grabs hold of my wrists and tightens them. If I could see properly I could swear I see them turn purple. "I could beat you to the bone, right here, right now, till you die from your injuries. But, I won't. You will die. Maybe not today, maybe not in a month, but you will." Well, obviously I'm going to die. Humans don't live forever. "Wonder why?" "No, and I really don't care." She answers anyway. "Because we have the power, the people, and the weapons to do it. Face it, you're defenseless against us." I feel some blood flooding my mouth, so I, being a perfectly nice person, spit it in her face. That doesn't faze her at all. "I have the strength and intelligence, something you clearly don't have. Whatever y'all do to me, it won't break me. I will put up a hell of a fight before losing. I will fight, and I will win." I turn over and look at her fellow companions. "Even if I die doing it." "Is that a risk you're willing to take?" ____________________________________ 17 year old Morgan Peters is an average girl living life.

Poison in Your Blood by LucyASterling

There's something about Nightingale NJ that has people talking. What should be a beautiful city full of thriving multicultural businesses and festivals, plant-life and waterfalls, and vibrant nightclubs is instead a land of horror. While every continent has threats to public safety and haunting mysteries, it says a lot when Nightingale is high on the Top 10 list of cities in America with the highest body count: mobsters with cult connections, mysterious deaths almost animalistic in their violence, and missing persons seemingly lacking a pattern. We welcome you to this perfect hotspot for off-the-wall tabloids and exploitative podcasts. You live here because you have to and not because you want to. *** What was the point in living if you couldn't fight for a better tomorrow? What results would be waiting for you if you allowed a situation to rot and be left for the scavengers to devour? Justice. Punishment. Peace. Violence. There were so many ways to go about reaching your goals. Which mattered the most depended on which was the most effective method. Dionne Williams was a reporter. Unbiased and honest. Reporters were meant to have their voices heard, to explain the naked truth to their audience. Because to create a better world, you need to have an informed world, and Dionne was one of those loud voices willing to break open the seedy underbelly concealed from the public eye starting with her current residence, Nightingale NJ. Fayth Esposito-Jhavari was a demon in human clothing. Well, more like a somewhat unwilling vessel for a creature of a demonic nature, but her way of earning money didn't make her the most morally sound person anyway. Can't exactly write contracted killer on a resume and expect enthusiastic handshakes and back pats. Any crumb of normalcy becomes obsolete when a stubborn aspiring reporter and a vengeful hitwoman cross paths. (Rough/First Draft) (Cover created in Canva)

The Mafia Twins (Sample) by zohara_khan

"Choose. Choose what you want." "Like this is some ice-cream flavour to choose?" Agatha seethed, the gun in her hands that hung limply by her side. Gustav grinned like the psycho he was, finding excitement to see his own daughter quivering in fear. "Almost the same honey. Now choose. Will you save the man you love, or yourself?" Shutting her eyes, Agatha lifted the gun up, and the next time her eyes opened, they were burning with rage. "Fuck love." _______________________________ The Mafia world is filled with all kinds of crime and sin, committed by their very own Lords. That's right, just the Lords. But what if the most ruthless Italian Mafia fails to have a future Lord, and instead has two Lady's? Who will it be, Agatha Russo, the cold hearted, cruel monster that values her own life above anything, and will do anything to stay in power, or Soralina Russo, the sweet, kind hearted angel, whose only sin was to be born as the daughter of the Lord of The Cross Sword Mafia? ---------- All rights reserved.

Highest Rank: #7 In Crime. "Haven't you learned yet?" She tilted her head to the side, smiling gently. "Learned what?" I whispered, feeling the hand holding the gun shaking.
