My wet hair soaked his sleeves as I pulled myself away from him. All I could think about was how those men killed that woman. Looking back up at the balcony from the room I jumped off, I noticed that the men were gone. “The- They killed her,” I said trying to find my voice.Read the Post

The sunlight licked my face, begging me to wake up. Just five more minutes, I needed this sleep right now. Almost as if on cue, I heard knocking on the door. As I forced myself to get to the door, I opened it to find Vandermir standing in front of me with a disapproving look.Read the Post
Fatal Alliances: Chapter 23
All these questions rendered me tired and I was thankfully able to get an hour’s rest yet I felt the same confusion and hurt swimming inside me. My head still ached after waking up, maybe I should take my pills. I had them in the car downstairs. As I went down and collected my meds,Read the Post

The next morning when I woke up, Vandermir wasn’t there as usual. Quickly, I got dressed and came out. Maybe I should go downstairs to get something to eat, I wasn’t going to ransack everything in Vandermir’s fridge anyway. It was already too much he let me stay here with him. As I stepped outside,Read the Post

My feet ached from running up the stairs and I felt like I was putting all my weight on Finny but he didn’t let go of me. “Juliet what happened to you?” he asked terrified. I couldn’t speak. Even though I wanted to, I felt it impossible to do so at the moment. From behind,Read the Post

It’d been two days since Mr. Dawnly died. Depression lingered in the air and never left. I’ve been so worried, Finny told me that they’re sorting everything out and that it would take a few days. Everything is just so confusing now, it isn’t the same as before. Playing around with my fruit smoothie outsideRead the Post
Fatal Alliances: Chapter 18
My world was crashing down upon me. Nothing seemed real anymore. Finny held the steering wheel tightly as he drove me home. I knew he was really distraught about what just happened. “Juliet, I know this must be hard for you but-” “I know Finneas but I don’t want to talk about it again, IRead the Post
Fatal Alliances: Chapter 17
This can’t be happening. No, this….this isn’t real. Shutting my eyes tightly, I opened them back to realize that this really was happening. This was real. This pain felt like a knife plunging into my stomach slowly yet brutally ripping through me. I called the ambulance in the useless hope that Mr. Dawnly could stillRead the Post
Fatal Alliances: Chapter 16
The past few days were surprisingly tolerable. The chances of my internship becoming a permanent job at the hotel seemed very realistic. The new HR manager was substantially more cooperative than the previous one Mrs. June. And Vandermir, on the other hand, well I never really saw him much around but at times when IRead the Post
