Chapter One

“Let’s break up,” Felicia said as she twirled her curly and soft brown hair as she looked up to the sky which lit her hazel-colored eyes up.

“Wow, I guess the other guys never lied when they said that you act like a cow.” the leech said as he smirked.

This just infuriated her more, stirring up a hurricane within her.

“Says the person who eats like a snob and acts like an ignorant ***,” she said as she crossed her legs with her arms folded and her posture straight.

This was natural for her to have a demanding aura since she is the youngest detective in town who manipulated her suspects easily to get what she wanted from them. She was always the one to dump her exes.

 When she was younger she was able to read body language and manipulation. She learned this while she was with her late stepfather since he was such a big influence on her.

She then woke up from her seat until she felt a tug on her hand. In anger, she pulled hard and strong, twisting the other hand that was tugging her to see her ex. She then punched his face so hard that anyone could see it red and throbbing. He went to grab her once more until a hot guy waltzed into the room and arm and broke it.

“Why … why is there so much chaos here?”Marcus said as he started yawning with his coat draped over his shoulders.

She could make out that he was rich, from the watch that shone a million dollars in her face to the black coal polished shoes that he wore. This just irritated her more but she turned her anger into false tears as she grabbed his coat and started crying inside it.

There was an instant click of telepathy communication going on between the two of them. Marcus could see that she felt uncomfortable with a crowd staring at her, so he complied. He focused the tension in the air more on her ex-boyfriend as she managed to find a moment in time to escape from the chaotic madhouse.

This cafe was marked as her own, this was because whenever she needed to dump someone- she would break up with them in the cafe. Felicia finally broke her house of cards when he entered her life.

THREE DAYS LATER

“Morning detective, how was your leave ?”Frank asked as he kept up to her paste and handed her coffee to her.

Frank Moriarty is one of Felicia’s most trusted friends, they have known each other for years. He is always the playful and innocent one in the Department, but when it comes to his work-he tends to get too fierce.

“Boring, as usual, anyways-what do we have here Moriarty?”

“We have an ear that was cut, it’s the same case like before-do you really think you can handle this? Just sit-”

“No. I’m doing this game that uncle couldn’t complete, no matter what the cost is...We have to stop this psycho fast! ”

Just then, Moriarty’s cell phone started ringing,” Detective Moriarty speaking…….. Yes…. okay, we’re on our way”

“What is it?”, Felicia asked as she ran towards him

“We have ourselves a witness,” Moriarty said as he smirked.

“This better be good!”

AT THE POLICE STATION

“Who is the witness?!”Felicia shouted as she took off the jacket that reminded her that she must uphold, remembering what she had to fight for.

“Hey-You good?”, Moriarty asked as she could see the concerned expression on his face.

“Yeah, let’s dig in”

Moriarty was the first one to enter the interrogation room. Felicia passed his arm holding the door to take a look at the witness, in shock-she was left speechless to see that it was the same man from the cafe as the flashbacks of the incident happened.

This time he looked different to her, as if he was expecting her to walk past those doors. She could easily tell -because she is a criminal profiler, but so many questions ran to her head.

 {Why does it seem like the tables have turned today for the first time?! I can feel his eyes studying me from head to toe-like as if he was expecting me to walk through those doors?! I need to cover this up quickly before he sees I’m vulnerable!}

We went to sit down, only to see an arrogant smirk on his face. I can’t get intimidated -not now! So after a while, I slowly took an elastic band from my jeans pocket and placed it on my wrist slowly and quietly.

Moriarty could sense the tension on my face, so he decided to take the lead in answering questions. The only problem was that idiot never budged! Instead, he just looked at me like ‘Shouldn’t you be taking the lead on answering questions?’

It felt like he planned everything out in his mind and if his plans did not go as he wanted them- I’m dead meat for sure!

SIGH-It shouldn’t hurt to take the lead on this case, right?

I decided to leave my seat to sit on the desk closer to him and started asking questions.

“What happened at the crime scene?”, I asked as I leaned closer.

“Well, that depends-how is your boyfriend holding up? I feel so sorry for him, especially when he just lost someone so beautiful and unique...too bad he couldn’t see it as I do.”, he said with a wide grin on his face.

“ ‘I’M SURE YOU DIDN’T MEAN FOR THAT TO SOUND SO ARROGANT, RIGHT?”, as I asked. I was well known for the best comebacks in my department.

I could see how shocked he was due to this statement, I could easily see it as his lower jaw dropped half a centimeter down, his arms that were once crossed became looser and last but not least - the bottom part of his eyelids, opposite his tear duct cringed up.

“Now-back to my question… What happened at the crime scene”, I then checked his profile, to see that now-I have let my guard down.

HE IS MARCUS KIER?! The rich millionaire who studied abroad?!Welp… another reason to lose my job, right? But I couldn’t give a damn about who he is.

I gathered my thoughts back together within a split second as he started to explain his story.

“Well, I don’t know what murder you guys are actually talking about”

This just frustrated me more!!! He just wasted our precious time when we could have been investigating!!!
