All Chapters of The Lawless Heart.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Zee POV. I woke up to the obnoxious noise of my alarm, it was only five-thirty in the morning, and the sun was still down, but I was awake, I needed to have an early start of the day, so I hit the side of my bed until I turned the alarm off, I got out of bed, I couldn't sleep, I'll sleep when I'm dead, but right now I have a lot of things to do. I walked out of my warm bed, the very warm bed, and went toward the bathroom, I got my blond hair, which had pink ends into a messy bun just to get it out of my face while I washed up, and did my business in the bathroom, once I was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and decided to deal with my hair, getting it out of its messy bun and doing a proper high ponytail, not a hair out of place, I then went out to my bedroom, I dropped off the oversize Tshirt I slept in and got a sport bra and some running shorts on, I finally added a windbreaker to keep the chilly air off my shoulders.I got my earbuds in and walked out of the house, I was hi

Zee POV. I woke up grumpy, I hated my alarm but today I hated it even more, I groaned and whined, I didn't want to get up but I had a routine to keep, with a big groan, I left my bed and walked toward the bathroom. My routine is the same every day, get ready, wash up, and then get ready for my run, I run outside the house, to my usual track, with my music on, once I am done, I come back home, get ready for work, and with a groan I left my house.I looked perfect on the outside, I often look perfect, I make sure to look good every day, I make sure that I'm ready to take over the world, but it's days like this that pull me back, ones that push me into the urge of staying at home, cover up and sleep the whole day. But I had to keep going, I'm too strong to have a mental breakdown, not a weekday, it's Thursday, and the weekend is so close, I'll hold back on breaking down until then. I looked at my kitchen and my whole face turned into a disgusted look, the whole hard work I did for Mich

Zee POV. After Michael left, it took me some time before I could relax again, his presence made my whole body feel tensed and worried but I could finally relax again. "Don't you want to go home?" I ask Hore. "To what? I'll stay with you," she says, squeezing my hand tight, she's still sitting with me on the bed, refusing to get off even after the hot nurse offered her to sleep in his bed instead of mine, but she's loyal af, she'll never let me go."I think I'm going to sleep," I say closing my eyes, since I'm still in the hospital, they kept on checking on me, seeing if I have some kind of brain injury, and after seeing how tense I was, they offered me another muscle relaxant which Hore said I could use, and have a good night sleep, I had my doubts that she's trying to get rid of me so she can go and check the hot nurse. "Good night, Zee," she says kissing the top of my head, and I finally close my eyes dropping into sleep, I didn't have any dreams this time, since the meds were w

Zee POV. I drove back home only thinking of the guy I saw in the market, who does his grocery shopping while dressed in a suit, well me, and him. But I'm a lawyer and if he was one too in my area I would have seen him before, I would've known him, but he's not one, maybe he works in cooperation, but why would he be in the supermarket every time I'm there, I don't even know. My brain was fabricating stories and scenarios over what his job could be, what kind of work he does, what kind of life he had, and now I'm home and I have a tub of mint chocolate ice cream to help me keep on thinking through the night.I got my stuff and walked into the house, I was having a hard time finding my keys in the depth of my purse, but finally found them and I walked in, I took off my shoes, left my bag and started the walk to put the groceries in their place. Two steps inside the house and I knew something was off, someone was inside my house, all the lights were off except the entrance lights, and t

Zee POV. I left home, but on my way there I called Thalia, I'm going to kill her, she answered after the second ring, knowing well that I was going to be calling and asking her about what the hell she just put me through. "Yes?" she answers, not bothering to say hello. "I'm going to kill you," I say. "Join the long line," she answers me. "Oh, why would I? I'm the one who can do a crime without being caught, how did you put it? The one who can commit the perfect crime," I say between gritted teeth. "He told you..." she says sounding disappointed in him. "Yes, he told me, why would you send him to me?" I ask her furious with her, I was already going through enough, and she had to add this crazy guy into my day."Because he asked for my best lawyer and so I sent you," she says with a shrug, I could hear her voice, I could hear the scoff in her sound, she didn't care that I was hurt. "I'm hurt Thalia, I'm injured and you thought it's fine to just send me there?" I say holding back
