LAURA DIEGO- THE NIGHT OF THE PARTYI had decided that Darlene Bernardo did not know how good she had it, as I stood under the lilied petals of the McKenzie Manor House foyer, desperately dodging the spirits of saliva the ornately dressed hens spat at me.”Oh emm gee! Did you see Sophia McCulley’s dress? What is she cosplaying?” A bright-eyed woman I was meeting for the first time that night clucked to the woman beside me, her blonde hair glimmering in the artificial lights that I had painstakingly hung around the earth-sized driveway.”The reject, drugged-up prostitute from Atlanta’s suburbs no doubt,” The hawkish-looking brunette beside me triggered with an air of arrogance that I had learned was accustomed to the elite like scales to a damn snake.I shook my head as the blonde woman cackled loudly, deciding she had had enough of whatever it was she had been sipping the entire night.I should have probably gotten myself one of those.Colored glasses and fireflies trapped in a bottle

LAURA DIEGO“I won't tell if you don't,” The woman whispers, the flint of mischief playing over her cerulean blue eyes.I looked her over, once, realizing she could have been the spitting image of me. If she weren't so stupid. Poisoning McKenzie’s mother because she wanted them vulnerable enough to penetrate was a bad move. Incredibly stupid. I’d seen it happen before, this sort of thing. The twins would break, and become unhinged, especially the dark-haired one. I tried to shift the thoughts out of my head in time to realize that the woman was no longer smiling.Yes, Kayla Storm was an enemy. One I would have to take out quickly if I ever wanted to remain at the McKenzie manor.“I know what you did Laura,” The woman growled, leaning in to whisper in my ear and my heart thudded with something close to excitement and horror as I whipped my head to glare at the woman who had leaned back, looking as pleased as a platypus.“How dare you?” I rasped, gritting my teeth as my chest rose and

ALEXANDER“What do you-” I frowned, starting at the woman as though she had gone mad when she held up a ringed hand to cut me off.“So ill just show you instead,” She whispered hauntingly, extending the dainty hand that held the sheaf as I sighed, taking it rougher than I needed to from her.I didn't have time for fucking guessing games, grumbling as I tore open the opaque film over it.”What’s in it?” I queried, but Laura Diego just stared pointedly at the file until I flipped the image so I could see what was on it.What the fuck? “Where did you get this?” I whispered after a stretch of silence so painful it lodged small stones in my throat lingered, turning the frame this way and that as though the image of my wife kissing my brother was going to look any different upside down.“Privileged information Mr. McKenzie, I can't reveal my source and run the risk of compromising their life,” She whispered, the slight tremble in her lips showing me she wasn't as composed as she made hers

DARLENEThe look my husband gave me could have melted iron.I gasped, whipping my head back and forth between the whitened faces standing under the white-diamond arch of the living area.Mr. McKenzie had one hand on the collar of my husband’s white, button-down shirt, His wife, still frail and white-faced had turned to look at me like I was the devil come to life, the white of what looked to be a polaroid photo print clenched in one dainty fist.What the hell was going on? I looked at the strawberry-blonde haired man pointedly, my eyes widening at the bloody mess of his face, the front of the pink woolen sweater he had on was stained red, and a purple bruise was already forming on the glass of his high cheekbones.“Is everything alright?” I croaked, again met with silence before Mr. McKenzie scoffed, releasing my husband who snatched the polaroid from Stephanie’s shaky hands and strode toward me, his face a mask.I felt my breath catch as Alexander closed the space between us in thr

ALEXANDERAn idiot, that was what I was. A fucking bumbling dank-ass idiot who couldn’t see two feet in front of him to realize the woman of his dreams had been a farce. A lie!Darlene had been cheating on me! I still couldn’t wrap my head around it, around the fact that she had deceived me so completely.Allowed me to kiss her with the taste of my brother’s tongue cooling on her lips.“Fuck!” I bellowed, pounding my clenched fists into the unimpressed concrete of the my study walls so that the delicious sizzle of pain greased the pinpoints of rage raking through me.I needed air, I needed to be out in the wild, back in themafia ring, to feel the hammer of my rage breeze through my knuckles.“Mr. McKenzie, I-” Laura Diego’s timid voice came from the doorway and I turned sharply to see the glass of her porcelain face peeking through the doorway, biting down on the urge to roll my eyes and instead settling for a polite nod.“Mr. McKenzie, I just wanted to say, I uh, had no idea that it

DARLENE“What is this that you have done Darlene?” Stephanie McKenzie’s whisper was hollowed enough that it echoed rive-tingly in the ornate living area of the manor as she stared disappointingly at me. It was the first time I had seen the straight ruler of her shoulders hunched, slouched in defeat.“What she did, Mother was, fall in love.” Fredrick quipped snappily and I squeezed my eyes shut, wincing at the wrongness of it all.How could I choose one when they were both equal parts different and equal parts mysterious?Dammit, all to freaking hell Darlene!“Enough Fredrick,” I warned, just in time with Mr. McKenzie’s angry barking and I grimaced in embarrassment, turning to see that the manor maidservants and men keepers had all witnessed the debacle, the fork of shame twisting my heart as it beat erratically in my chest.However, would I raise my head in their presence again? The gray-frocked helps must have seen the risquépictures scattered like pollen dust on the burgundy red g

ALEXANDERMy father’s mafia penthouse at the edge of the city was different than I remembered it.The rows and rows of leaning coconut trees that spread out into a neat circle from the entrance successfully shielded the penthouse from view, unlike the old bramble-covered fence that made the eight hundred square feet of land feel more like an asylum than a luxury escape house.Priest’s black Cadillac idled outside the nettle-latticed gates that opened after a few beats of security processing before the coffee-colored man slid the car into the gritty lane of the compound.“Ah, smells like home dun nit?” Priest chuckled as I glanced around the shadowed grit lot of the penthouse, the blue glimmer of the pool lights casting warped fluorescent shadows across our faces before he killed the engine and got out.The smell of wet clay and wild lilies did not smell like home. But somehow, I doubted it did to the copper-haired man either.Shit, what the hell was I doing here?“Come on out son. It’

DARLENE“You! You pesky little bitch! What did you say to my husband?” I screeched, glaring at the dark-haired woman and marching toward her as she sat up suddenly on my bed.Who the fuck did she think she was? And why was she in my room? “After everything that had gone down, All the abuse I had to sit there and fucking take, and you didn’t even say a word!” I panted, jabbing my pink-tipped index in her face.“Darlene, I-” Laura started before sputtering with surprise when I snatched the sleek silver chain of our friendship necklace from between the sunken dunes of her collarbone.An odd well of satisfaction bubbled up inside me as the woman gasped, and I watched her almond-shaped eyes widen with what I thought was fear before she stood to face me, her tall buxom frame towering over me.“Darlene, I couldn’t have-” Laura started, but I raised a hand to cut her off. I didn’t want to hear anything she had to say.“Save it for confessionals Diego. I know it was you who showed it to Ale
