Here's an excerpt for your reading pleasure.
Casie
dragged her chair back to the table and sat. Her cell phone rang.
Alex.
She read her husband’s name on the screen, then picked up the phone, cooling
her brain, inhaling and exhaling twice before answering.
“Where
are you?” she asked. She could hear the excitement in her own voice, the
eagerness to meet up with him. She was expecting to hear something good in his
silvery voice, something to satisfy her ears. But there weren’t her husband’s
warm words on the other end. The voice that greeted her was cold and flat.
“Your
husband’s dead in your old mansion, outside Villa Village.”
Casie
couldn’t believe her ears. “Pardon me. What did you say?”
“Your
husband’s dead, at Fuentes Mansion.”
A
click sounded as the stranger hung up.
Casie’s
mouth remained open as she went blank, not registering the present. The total
blankness allowed a memory to rush in. As the flashback played, her eyes widened
in clear horror, as if she were witnessing the crime playing live in front of
her.
A
man and a woman are standing in the center of a room, trapping a girl who keeps
begging for her life.
Both
the man and woman raise their guns at the girl, threatening her that if she
doesn’t sign the paper, she will die.
Stained
with blood, the girl signs the paper, and then the woman shoots her in the
back.
The
girl slightly tilts her head, and the woman smiles at her.
The
man walks around to the woman, staring at the girl, and then he shoots her too,
in the stomach.
The
girl winces, tears running down from her eyes to her neck.
The
man and woman’s guns are still fixed on the girl. She looks up at them, her
eyes filled with fury.
“Kill
me!” she says. “But I promise I’ll return to take revenge for my tribulations.”
Enraged,
both of them pull the trigger again. One bullet enters the girl’s breast, the
other her stomach.
