Ultimate face off

Kelly The warehouse was pitch-black, the only source of light coming from the streetlamp outside. I was tired of Davis’s silly games, same pattern, same ways, all he wanted was to lure me to wherever he was and play his stupid games, and I was seriously tired of it. Sparks from the shattered overhead bulb still cracked in the distance, but everything else was still. I pressed myself against the cold concrete floor, my heart hammering in my chest. My eyes struggled to adjust, but all I could make out were shadows shifting in the dark. Somewhere in the distance, my father let out a weak cough. "Dad!" My voice came out hoarse, filled with panic. "kelly," he rasped. ”I’m here"A deep chuckle filled the warehouse, low and full of amusement. He was enjoying this. "Touching," he mocked. "But how long will that last?" A click echoed, a gun being turned on. I barely had time to react before something cold pressed against the back of my head. "Game over, Kelly." I went still. I

A tit for tat

KellyDavis was shot twice. Davis collapsed back again, his body hitting the ground harder than before. A strangled gasp escaped his lips, his hands pressing against his chest where blood was already spreading through his shirt. His breath came in short, desperate gasps, his fingers clawing weakly at the wound as if he could hold the life inside him. I stumbled on the floor, holding my ears, when I lifted my head again, blood had stained my jeans, blood coming from Davis laying beside me.“Davis!” A sharp, familiar voice came through the chaos. I turned sharply, just in time to see a figure burst out of the shadows. Clara? She ran straight to Davis, dropping to her knees beside him. Her hands trembled as she pressed down on his wound, her face pale with panic. “Stay with me,” she pleaded, her voice cracking as she tried to stop the bleeding. “You’re going to be fine. Just breathe, okay?” Davis let out a low, pained groan, his body twitching under her hands. His eyes flutt

Call 911

Kelly Clara’s scream ripped through the warehouse, raw and filled with fury. “CALL 911!” Her voice was hoarse, shaking with unrestrained rage as she clutched Davis. Adrian kept his gun raised, watching her carefully, but Lucian hadn’t moved. And me? I was still trying to breathe. Still trying to process everything she had just said. Davis groaned weakly beneath her, his body barely twitching. His hand, shaking and slick with blood, tried to move, reaching for Clara. His fingers barely brushed against her arm, and his lips parted, voice so faint I almost didn’t hear it. “C-Clara…” It was a whisper, but it was loud enough for anyone to hear. Clara gasped, her anger slightly faltering. She turned toward him, eyes wide with panic, pressing down harder on his wound. “I’m here! I’m right here, Davis. Just, just hold on, okay? I’ll get you out of here, I swear.” Davis’s fingers curled weakly, as if trying to hold onto her, but his movements were sluggish, his body growing l

Breaking the cycle

Adrian Clara’s hands were shaking. Her grip on the gun was tight, her knuckles white from the pressure. Her breathing was ragged, uneven, as if she were struggling to keep herself from breaking apart entirely. She had been screaming just moments ago. Now, she was silent. Davis’s blood was still on her hands, staining her skin, seeping into her clothes. His body lay motionless on the floor, his fingers still curled from the last desperate attempt to hold onto her. And now, all that was left was she and the gun. Kelly stood frozen a few feet away, her face pale, her eyes wide with something between shock and sorrow. Neither of them moved. The only sound in the room was Clara’s shallow breathing, the gun trembling in her grasp as she pointed it at Kelly’s chest. I stepped forward. Slowly. Carefully. “Clara,” I said, keeping my voice level. “Put the gun down.” She didn’t look at me. Her gaze was locked onto Kelly, her eyes glassy with unshed tears. Her lips parted slight

Not truce, Not war

Kelly The room was silent with the weight of everything that had happened. Davis’s body was taken by the ambulance. Clara stood across from me, her face still. She had dropped the gun. And yet, she still looked at me like she didn’t understand. Like she couldn’t comprehend why I had stopped Lucian and Adrian from taking her away. “…Why?” Her voice was hoarse, barely audible. I held her gaze, my hands still trembling at my sides. “Because I know what it’s like to lose someone you love.” Clara inhaled sharply. I saw it in her eyes, the understanding that finally clicked into place. For so long, she had seen me as her enemy. As someone who had everything, while she had lost it all. But now, she knew the truth. I had lost just as much as she had. Maybe even more. And now, standing here, looking at the woman who had once been my confidant, my safe haven, my friend, I realized something else. We would never be those people again. The ones who used to laugh together

Forgotten past

Author’s POV Susan had never been the type to dwell on the past. Life had been simple, sometimes unpredictable. She loved her parents, appreciated the life they had given her, and never questioned the things that didn’t add up. It started as something ordinary. A quiet afternoon spent helping her mother clean out the storage closet in their home. The scent of dust and old wood filled the air as Susan kneeled beside a worn-out cardboard box. "What’s in here?" she asked, brushing off the fine layer of dust covering the lid. Her mother, standing nearby, glanced over with a distracted expression. “Oh, just some old things from when you were a baby. Don’t worry about it.”But Susan did worry about it. There was something about the way her mother’s voice shaked, as if she wanted to move on from the topic too quickly. Curious, Susan carefully lifted the lid and peered inside. Small, folded baby clothes sat neatly stacked on top of each other, soft and faded from time. A yello

Hidden truth

Author’s POVSomething was wrong. Susan couldn’t shake the feeling ever since she left Mrs. Kim’s house. Her mind kept circling back to the photo, the undeniable resemblance between her and Kelly, the way Mrs. Kim had hesitated when asked about it. And the hospital bracelet… None of it made sense. Could it really be a coincidence? A triplet? The thought was ridiculous, too far-fetched. But it disturbed her relentlessly. What if? What if she and Kelly were related? What if everything she knew about herself was a lie? What if?She sat in her bedroom that night, trying to scroll through the internet, her mind a chaotic mess. Her adoptive parents had always been kind, loving people, but they had never talked much about her adoption. Whenever Susan had asked if they knew about her birth family growing up, they had brushed it off with vague reassurances. "You were chosen, darling. That’s all that matters." It had always been enough. Until now. ….The next morning, Susan couldn’

Outside

Kelly Kate wouldn’t stop. Everywhere I turned, she was there, her voice sharp, her presence suffocating. "Do the test, Kelly. What are you so afraid of?" "If you have nothing to hide, then prove it." "I deserve that will. It’s mine by right." On and on, like a relentless kid. I was so tired. Not just of her, but of the way everything was spiraling out of control. The media was still on my back. My clothing company was hanging by a thread. The public doubted my very existence. And now, Kate was determined to tear apart the last thing I had left, my identity.I exhaled slowly, gripping my phone as Kate’s latest text glared back at me. K: I swear to God, Kelly, I will make you regret this if you don’t do the test. I clenched my jaw. Fine, If this was what it took to shut her up, then I’d do it. I didn’t care about the will, I had never cared. But if taking this stupid DNA test would silence the doubts, if it would make the Kate back off, then so be it. Besides… I needed

No genetic match

KateI should have known something was wrong the moment I stepped inside. Kelly was sitting at the head of the table, her expression unreadable. Susan was beside her, arms crossed, looking way too smug for my liking. And then there was the envelope. The DNA results, as she should. The air was filled with tension, but I didn’t care. This was it, the moment I’d been waiting for. I smirked, sauntering forward. "Well? Are you finally ready to accept reality?" Kelly didn’t react. She simply pushed the envelope across the table. "Kate… we got the results."My heart pounded. Finally.I grabbed the paper with shaking fingers, my eyes scanning the words eagerly. Then I stopped, my breath hitched. Everything blurred, I read it again. Then a third time, the words didn’t change. "No genetic match."I blinked. No…that wasn’t right. That couldn’t be right. My vision swam as I stumbled back, the paper shaking in my grip. "Where did you get this nonsense?." I asked, my tone sharp. I g

Black and white

Susan I never expected a single envelope would change everything. For most of my life, I never questioned my place in this world. I knew I was adopted, but it never truly bothered me. My parents loved me, I had a good life, and any questions I might have had about my biological family faded as I grew older. But now, holding this DNA test in my trembling hands, I realize how naïve I was. This isn’t just about curiosity anymore. This is about identity. I stare at the words again. ‘99.9% Genetic Match – Kelly Brook and Susan (Birth Name Unknown): Identical Twins’Identical? Not just related. Not cousins. Not half-sisters. But twins. I stare at the envelope again, half expecting what I had seen to change, but it doesn’t.A shaky breath leaves my lips as my mind spirals. How did this even happen? How did I grow up thinking I was alone in the world when I had a twin all along? And the worst part? Kelly has no idea.My heartbeat pounds against my ribs as I fold the paper back into
