***EXCERPT***

She knelt down in front of two tall black marble tombstones. Placing red roses in front of the right one and sunflowers on the left one she sat down on the neatly trimmed grass.

"It's been a while since I've been here. I know I haven't been checking in as much as I use too and I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?" She asked in a guilty voice. Her hand reached out to caress the rose petals in front of the grave.

"I finally have all the pieces I need to enact my plan. That's why I have been absent for so long but I now have everything I need to collect the debt that's owed to us. That's owed to you both." her voice cracked at the end.” Pain and sorrow evident on her face.

"I will avenge you both. I won't let those who took you from this world, from Lucian and me, live peacefully. I promise they will be punished. I swear that on my life. I just hope you can forgive me for all the evil I've committed to get here and have yet to commit to finally avenge you." Anai'ya promised as wave of melancholy washed over her. Looking at the two portraits in front of her, her stone heart began to ache with inexplicable pain.

She stood up closing her eyes as fat tears threatened to fall. Taking a deep breath she opened her light amber eyes to look up at the sky and released her breath.

"I'll be back Mom and Dad. I'll visit as much as I can."

She turned on her heels and slowly walked back towards her car. Gazing up at the light blue sky as she did so, she clenched her hands into tight fists.

Her amber eyes flashed with a cold light as she stopped for a moment and looked back at the graves behind her.

She'd bleed him dry if it was the last thing she did. She'd bleed them all to the last drop because that's what they deserved. That's what he deserved.

She would return all the pain inflicted on her family tenfold. There was no line she wouldn't cross to achieve her goal. The interest had accumulated and it was time to collect.

Her brother suffered physical torment.

Her parents were killed in cold blood.

Her life was turned inside out. She was marred for life. She hardly resembled a human being because of it.

The monster inside her was raging and ready to come out, the cage she had kept it in was collapsing. 

They had no idea what was coming.

The Cold & Ruthless Queen

Raising the teacup to his lips, Uncle Chen sipped the jasmine tea slowly, savoring the taste. Oh how much he loved jasmine tea! He would never grow tired of it.


Anai'ya smiled at her uncle's reaction. No matter how many times he drank jasmine tea he always showed that expression of utter satisfaction every single time. He was obsessed with tea, jasmine being his favorite. He had made her learn how to make tea the traditional Chinese way as means to connect her to her Chinese roots. 


"How have you been Ani?" He asked taking a sip of tea, his eyes looked at her with concern.


Her heart constricted for a moment at his question. She knew he wasn't asking out of politeness, he truly cared about her wellbeing. It felt nice knowing there was someone who cared this much. 


"You know the answer to that Uncle." Her eyes looked down at her teacup not daring to meet his gaze.


He sighed knowing what she was referring too. 


"You have to learn to live a little Ani. Revenge isn't everything, don't let it consume your entire life." He advised.


"Mmm." She hummed in agreement. She wouldn't voice it out but he was right. She shouldn't let it consume her, but it was already way too late for that warning. 


Sighing again, he placed the cup down on the tray in front of him reaching for a teacake.


"How's Lucian doing? I haven't heard from him in a while. Is he still with Lucy?" 


Nodding her head and placed her cup down and leaned back in her leather chair. 


"He's fine but he mentioned wanting to come home soon." She said warily looking up at the ceiling.


"What's so good about coming back here? He should stay right where he is." Uncle Chen said shaking his head.


"We both know he only listens to you Ani. He's safe where he is, why would he want to come back here to this hell hole?" He said shaking his head at his nephew's stubbornness. That boy was so hard headed, but the only one who could change his mind was Anai'ya. 


"He misses us. Regardless of everything that happened here it's still home." She said with grief in her eyes.


Home use to be a happy place for them, but now it represented all the heartache and pain it brought into their lives. The suffocation, sorrow and pain that came with being home perhaps wasn't worth it but it's all they knew.


"Uncle, why don't you ever leave the base?" She asked suddenly.


Uncle Chen froze for a moment before picking up his teacup and taking a sip. For a moment it was completely silent before he cleared his throat.


"What is there to see outside?" He joked. His aged face softened up as he smiled. 


"A cute Auntie that can help cook food for you for the rest of your life." She teased him being a bachelor. He had never married and had only dated a few women throughout the years. 


He knitted his eyebrows at the thought of a woman invading his space and he grimaced.


"Leave Uncle's love life alone. How's the wedding planning going?" He teased back.
