Chapter 53 Target On My Back

Bellatrix Sinclair

Spiders crawled along my spine, hair-raising at the back of my neck. Christians words blurred into white noise, straining my ears to hear the patterned footsteps and slight chewing of gum. We were on our way to meet Lazarus, a man with many enemies.

Snatching the gun from Christian’s waistband, pushing the barely directly at the perpetrator’s forehead. “I hope you don’t do this professionally because you suck at it.” I deadpanned. “Lower the knife before I blow your fucking brains out.” My voice calm and clear in my instructions, watching the man snap the gum in his mouth before dropping the knife.

Christian motioned for the guards to arrest him, dishevelled brown hair and murderous orbs that shot daggers at me. “You think you’re the fucking queen, you are nothing.” He snarled, “Lazarus doesn’t deserve to be King, he’s a monster-“

“Are you done? I don’t have all day to listen to this.” I retorted, watching him struggle relentlessly against the guard’s hold.
