Have you ever been involved in a murder? My hope is that your answer to this is no. I have, but don't take that the wrong way. I helped solve a murder, I didn't commit the crime. I wasn't the only one, I had help of course. This is our story.

   ...there was a loud crash from what appeared to be the kitchen area. Blair sprang off the couch and darted into the kitchen. 
  "Sandy...Ruby...you might wanna see this..." Her voice floated out to Sandy and me.
  " Are you guys okay?" Rosiel yelled down from upstairs. 
  " I dunno. I think so?" I called up. Blair shouted for us again.
  "Please. You'll really wanna see this." She sounded nervous. 
  "You don't sound sure." Rosiel observed from upstairs, responding to what I'd said before.
  "Rosiel, just go downstairs. Then you can stop yelling." I heard Fisk grumble. Sandy and I got off the couch, meeting Fisk and Rosiel at the bottom of the stairs. The four of us hurried to the kitchen, where Blair stood, hands shaking, pointing out the open window at the crudely written message staining the white snow bright red.

BOOK #1 "What are you going to do? You can't kill me. I am the most skilled person in this mafia hands down. Hell.. I even beat you! 'The big, bad mafia Don'," I said putting my face infront of his to show that I'm not intimidated. He then looked at me as if I was his prey. I mean I know I'm hot, but I didn't think I was that hot. I brought his face closer to mine. I shivered as his lips very lightly grazed mine.

Killing Is Thrilling di duncanchurch97

'The night was alive with silence. I moved through it like a shadow, black leather gloves tight on my hands, boots soft against the grass. My gas mask hid my face, leaving only darkness where my eyes should be. The world narrowed to a single point: the house ahead. Tonight, it would belong to me. The farmhouse rose stark and white beneath the moonlight, silent except for the occasional grunt of a pig or the low hum of a cow. They were unaware. They were insignificant. I crouched behind the hedge, eyes scanning, senses alert. Every detail mattered: the flicker of light across the curtains, the faint rustle of movement inside, the way a shadow shifted across the floor. She was there. Oblivious. Popcorn in hand, murmuring to herself as the television flickered. Every motion was a note in tonight's symphony, and I was the conductor. I studied her, cataloging. Timing. Patterns. Fear. She didn't notice me yet, and that was perfect. Patience was everything. One sound, one misstep, and it could all unravel. I rang the doorbell once. Silence. Again. Still nothing. She flinched slightly, just enough to make my pulse quicken. Her small reaction was delicious. A sudden movement in the yard caught my eye-a neighbor's dog barking at some unseen intruder. Its voice was loud, startling, but contained. I froze. My breath slowed. Patience. Observation. The dog's curiosity would pass. I remained still, hidden in shadow, letting the moment stretch. The animal lost interest and padded away. Perfect. I moved to the back of the house, hammer in hand.' ...

Kill or Tell di The_Spoon_Goddess

"I know you killed them," I whisper, my eyes glued to the floor as I twiddle my thumbs. "Well then, are you going to turn me in?" I bite my lip, unsure of myself. "I don't know." I look up, tensing at our eye contact. "But I don't want to." _____________________________ Once upon a time, there were four friends with disfunctional families and a bond of friendship that was based precariously on stilts of divorce, neglect, and self hatred. One day, one of those friends went and died. One day, one of those friends lost their mind. One day, one of those friends embraced who the truly were. One day, one of those friends got torn in two. And things were never the same again.

The Venus Trap - COMPLETED (The 1st Installment of The Derek Welsh Trilogy) di NailaFauzia9

In a post-apocalyptic world where human civilization has been renewed and altered, a private detective Derek Welsh, accepted a missing girl case from his friend, he didn't expect to be caught up in a tangled and deadly web of an organized crime group, The Underground, which has infiltrated the city and all its layers, including the law enforcement. By then, corpses of young girls started appearing all over the city. They were brutally raped, tortured and murdered. Derek, his partner Rita, must join forces with the police, including Derek's lover Captain Patricia Gisborne and an ex-junkie, Chester, who was involved in transporting one o the missing girls. All of them must face mortal peril because The Underground will stop at nothing to keep their claws in. New Chapters uploaded every week! I have started this book about two years ago. I have always wanted to write a book that I want to read and I love crime stories with a touch of darkness. The characters that I created are not perfect. They all have flaws, just like all of us and I love to play with those flaws. I created them by heart and my love to them is equal. The word I created in this story sets in a distant future, where humans were survivors of a gargantuan apocalyptic disaster. It changes the way of living but in some aspects, but humanity stays the same. The cycle repeats itself and you can always find similarities. I own all the copyrights of these stories and I will take matter seriously to plagiarism. I hope that you enjoy my stories and can be entertained by them. Happy Reading ! Warmest Regards, Naila Fauzia

Fire And Ice (Lost&Found Series)✔ di swritess1

53 Chapters. (Completed) I pushed her back and she landed on the bed with a slight bounce. She swallowed hard and her right hand shot up to her stomach. My eyes watched her every movement as if she was my prey. I knew for a fact that she was now equally scared and nervous. I slowly made my way towards the bed and parted her legs with my knee, hovering above her. "I suggest you watch that mouth around me." I spat. Her breath hitched as our faces were now only a centimeter apart. Without giving it much thought, I leaned in and captured her lips in a bruising kiss.

Committed di JadeBailey7

"But it's not all their fault." I sob. "They aren't the reason she's dead." "... and neither are you... Why do you insist on blaming yourself?" "Because I could've done better... I should have been there... I should have saved her..." "You were there with her all night, you did all that you could have." I shake my head. "No, Will, I wasn't." I clear the tears trying to see what his expression was. "I left in the middle of the night... To-meet Logan..." I look at his face. "That still doesn't make it your fault..." I nod. "It does" I start to walk inside when he calls out my name, I whirl around to face him. "Why do you care so much?!" "I'm afraid you're going to hurt yourself!" I smile. "No, I only hurt others" I turn back around to face the door, when he spoke one last time. "Please do something that gives you reason to come out." I thought about that. "Go home, Will." I close the door behind me and proceed to walk up the stairs and return back to my beloved bed. As I lay in my bed, I stare at the ceiling. 'Do something that gives you reason to come out.' Is that what he had said. he's right, and I had just the thing to do. I'd find Ellie's killer and make them pay.

REMINISCENT di Lil_oh_me

I frowned, thrown off "Do i...remember?" "Do you remember..." she starts but her voice falters. She glances down at the sand, biting her lip debating whether to even continue. She then takes a shaky breath and finally looks up. Eyes locking with mine " do you even remember how you got it?" Her question hits me like a slap. I open my mouth, then close it, my brows furrowing as I force my brain to rewind. How did I get it? Nothing. Not a single clear memory. She steps closer, her voice trembling, but the edge of anger sharpening her words. "Or when? Or where? Or for what reason? Or what it even means?!" I flinch at her tone, but I can't answer her. I try. God, I try.. I look down at the sand beneath my feet, forcing myself to dig through every memory, every hazy night out, every stupid decision I might've made-but nothing. Not a single moment of how I got it surfaced. I let out a frustrated breath and rake a hand through my hair, feeling the panic rise like bile in my throat. When I finally lift my head to speak, Ashley's already staring at me, and I can tell-she knows my answer before I say a word. "You don't remember," she says softly, nodding like she expected it all along. __________________________________________ Crazy thing happened...Three years ago, a tragic accident left Ashley scarred and shattered.

My Possessive Mobster✔️ di jhenny_pink

"I-I should be heading to my room now." I told him not in anyway ready to face him. "Turn around." He instructed. "Your fiancee may w-wake up soon to use t-the bathroom or discover no ones t-there." This would definitely not be a good look. Stop stuttering, I mentally chanted. "She won't." Was his response. "Please, I must head back to my r-room." I informed him, it had already been too long since we were in the bathroom alone. "You won't be getting out of here until you comply with my instructions." He informed. What game was he playing! I obliged and did what he said slowly turning around with my eyes tightly. *********** Unedited! Exclusively signed to wattpad.
