Time slows to a crawl...⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛"Damn it, Liz!" the bedraggled teacher almost shouted in her bedroom just as soon as she woke up. "Why didn't you call me?!"It was on a gloomy Saturday morning that Heather found herself scrambling to get dressed just so she could catch the earliest bus heading to Riverside. Liz's text was a rude awakening to an otherwise dreamless sleep, her actual lack of rest non-withstanding as the bedraggled homeroom teacher hurriedly brandished a pair of faded jeans and a random t-shirt she top-decked off of her drawers."Fuck, fuck.... Fuck!"She'd been receiving calls from both kids' parents since last night. And every time, her heart ached for the worry and anxiety seeping through the voices of Lina and Charlie's respective guardians.

Arriving in front of Liz's office, Heather felt a strange sense of nostalgia wash over her as she passed the empty storefront.Elizabeth Masters: Private Investigation Services.It still felt odd reading her friend's name for her one-woman firm. It was kinda tacky, in her opinion, but Liz was never known for good taste even in her own choice of clothes.It was fitting, to say the least.Going behind the building, Heather began ascending the stairs leading up to the apartment units situated above the detective's office. She would've sprinted the whole four flights, but she didn't have the stamina for it anymore. Even now, her heart pounded from the brisk walk that she undertook just to get there faster.Curse her new sedentary lifestyle.Still, her mind eventually

A sickening burst of excitement ran through her veins as the prospect of taking up the knife to protect her children dangerously lingered in the forefront of her mind. She knew that Lina was just by the other room, that Dr. Honn was also on the premises, but she just couldn't help but chuckle at the hilarity of her situation. The old fire in her soul was being stoked on by these constant threats in her new life...And yet, she was somehow happy that it was happening?"You're getting the look again, Heather," her friend reasonably reminded. "Get a hold of yourself."With a shake of her head, Heather did just as her friend suggested. Y-yes... She still had a job to go back to. Kids to teach for years to come... It wouldn't be for the best if she let her instincts control her again. But if their safety was this compromised, how could she just sit back

Liz was stunned.Wait... What!?"You sure it was Dio?""Yep~" her former partner chirped with visible glee despite the gravity of the conversation. "She also said that her 'Ms. Alexa' was on the back of the car as well~ Judging from the looks of it, she's super dead as well~"Malaka... Alexa was dead?"A-Alexa's dead... Heh..." the detective's eyes widened as she heard Heather try to process the information. "I should've known~"Liz suppressed the light panic trying to form in her chest as the situation slowly went from bad to worse with each revelation that Wisteria shared with them.So the detective was actually right in being suspicious of the Alexandria Heir. The fact that her trails were snuffed out as soon as she started investi

Time moves ever so slowly...⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛*CRASH!*"Fuck!"Charlie never thought that he'd end up like this.*THUD! CRASH!*"Shit! Fuck! Damn!"The young boy didn't know where he was, but what was for sure was that he was somewhere dark and depressing. He hadn't managed to run despite Lina taking much of the heat from the creepy man; the pain in his stomach being too much to even stand up as he laid at the back of the monster's car, crying and waiting for help to arrive.Unfortunately, it didn't."Where the fuck are you, kid?!"Instead, Charlie was captured and taken to an undisclosed location somewhere assuredly far from Nanc

Dio was having the worst day of his life."Tch..."The day was going smoothly as well. Having had more than enough for this week's fill, he had finished preparing his refuse way ahead of schedule due to a sudden cancellation of a potential client meeting. Thus, he had more time that night to do some... surveying of potential subjects should his prized subject prove too... bothersome to whisk away that night."Fucking malaka..."He just had to play the good guy for his subject's wayward students right when he was on his way to dump his last specimen's remains somewhere. Why did he do it?! Why try gaining ground with irrelevant children when he could just get what he wanted anyway? He was already planning on taking his crimson flower by force, why waste his time at all?"Slippery little bastar

A small glimpse...⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛In a certain detective's fairly small kitchen, a certain multiple-accolade winning doctor sat patiently by her friend's dining table. It was a noble affair, she supposed, after her tone-deaf stunt of relentlessly teasing their mutual acquaintance all the way back into being a more interesting person. But she wasn't someone that couldn't read the room despite her acting like she had no idea how basic human relationships worked. No. Big Sis Bella wouldn't approve of that kind of incompetence.Wisteria wasn't her prick of a brother, after all. Despite never considering herself a good person, she still inherently knew that she was selfish from the get-go; only going into medicine as a way to discover a cure for her elder sister's genetic disorder."Hmm...

A Word from your Author
It's over! It's finally over!- E-eherm..Well wasn't this a trainwreck of a story.Heartstrings was supposed to be over well over a month ago. If it weren't for an arbitrary chapter and word count requirement, as well as poor planning, this thing would've been done in just over 80 to 90k words just like its predecessor. Now, at the very least, I had some takeaways from writing this thing, so do keep in mind that this serves as both a gigantic author's note and as a reflection for me to read as well.Let's get started, shall we?I never expected to write this kind of story in the first place; one that involved CEO bullshit that I always saw dominating the recommended pages of literary sites. In fact, this tale wasn't even on the master timeline that I always referred to in my note. It just... materialized in my head, per

A new day...Another day of her miraculous third shot at a normal life.*"Top stories tonight; the Alexandria Heir's killer still at large, Kardia's impact, and the 2016 Mollucan National Elections."*Walking across her living room, one Heather Littman ignored the blaring news coverage being shown on her TV in favor of brewing a small cup of tea. Repeatedly dipping the tea bag in her mug, the English teacher wistfully sighed as she checked the date on the calendar."First week of March, huh..." the red-haired teacher muttered to herself as she sipped on her common beverage.

"Goodbye, Dio. And good riddance."Charlie couldn't believe it. Ms. Littman actually defeated the monster! She was so strong! He had been hiding behind the crates despite hearing his homeroom teacher's voice, but he had been watching the fight go on from the sidelines...And it was so cool!He didn't know why Ms. Littman started acting the way she did, but it just made her more badass as she went along and hit the old man right on the legs and arms!

It was going so well!*WHOOSH!*At one moment, he was in complete, and total control. His subject was clearly terrified; holding onto a piece of metal pipe like her life depended on it. She was flustered, stuttering even! The revelation of his side-activities even seemed to put her more off-balance as he made his approach!*WHOOSH! WHOOSH!*Then all of a sudden, his subject swung the pipe at him, clearly aiming for his head! Even now, he was doing his best to dodge as he carefully backed away from the blushing woman. Did he do something wrong?*WHOOSH! CLANG!*A resounding clang echoed throughout the warehouse as his subject's pipe collided with a stray metal cabinet. Any other woman would've been hurting if their arms rattled with such a force, but Dio could only watch as his blushing teacher simply went on like nothing even happened.What was this woman made of?"Why are you running?~" Heather

"Charlie?!"Heather called out to the proverbial ether as she stepped inside the suspiciously lit warehouse. With every intrepid step, her instincts screamed at her to always look behind her back, and she was more than ready to heed its advice.'Keep an eye out...'Nodding to herself as she fully entered the building, the teacher noted the surprisingly chilly air within, as well as the open lights that illuminated the area. It was clear that the warehouse was currently being used."Charlie?"Delving deeper into the warehouse, she couldn't help but feel that danger was just around the corner; her heart hammering with excitement as she cautiously turned another corner. Her right hand itched with anticipation; practically nagging at her to take some sort of makeshift weapon with her in case the

He was late. Livid, and late."BRAT!"Dio found himself screaming in anger just as he finished checking the time on his phone. It was already past seven, and he had yet to do the things that he wanted to do for the day. He hadn't dumped his refuse out of his car, he hadn't made headway on his later responsibilities, he hadn't even begun trying to tie up another loose end that he had to shut up.For fuck's sake, he could go on!*CRASH! CRASH!*He never managed to eat his breakfast at six, take a shower at six-thirty, or even read the newspaper by this time of day. His entire day was already thrown off schedule with this minor stunt, but it would be totally thrown off the window if the brat continued to evade his ire.*CRASH! THUD!*"Fu

"Yoohoo!~ Mr. Dio?~"It had been a few minutes since Helly had begun her search on the massive place that was the Alexandria Docks. The constant walking was uncharacteristically getting her feet sore despite being relatively short, but she supposed that that was because she hadn't done some long-distance walking in good a while."Anybody here?~"It was kind of nostalgic, to be quite honest; doing some basic searching for someone that she absolutely loathed. Quite the thrill, especially after years of boring schoolwork and teaching.'We love teaching...'But it never compared to the rush and satisfaction of removing scum off the streets~ She knew in the back of her mind that her rationale was screaming at her to stop, but her right hand was just aching to be let loose on someone that truly de
