HEIRS OF ATTICUS
Mikay Pereyra · Ongoing · 84.5k Words
Introduction
"How can I move forward when I'm stuck in the past?"
"I know that the saddest moment is when a person who gave you the best memories, becomes a memory but I guess having no memories to treasure at all is the worst."
It was just a normal love story until it happened. An unexpected death of an heir would bring an upside down on Leyra's life, a girl who suffered from anterograde amnesia-a rare type of amnesia in which a person can't form new memories- after an incident that'll changed her life forever. Will she find a way to know who murdered her fiancé despite of her condition or it will remain unsolved after she fall in love with another man? Find out what she finds out when she goes back to the place where it all started, and what mystery lies behind all of it. Unlock Leyra's game of life as she recalls some of her past memories related to the heirs of Atticus and what she'll encounter to meet each one of them and may lead her to its killer. Would bringing back her past will just ruin her present? Or will her present ruin everything she knew from the past?
Chapter 1
MEMORIES. You don't know how important it was until it's gone, or you can't create new one.
LOVE. You don't really know the value of love until you're willing to sacrifice everything. Even though it cost you pain.
LOVE. MEMORIES. Both were taken away from me.
"Be careful what you summoned." The last words I heard before I passed out. The next thing I know I woke up.
"Wait, where am I?” I asked myself in confusion.
"Finally, you're awake Leyra" I was greeted by a woman whose face is still blurry.
"Who are you?" I asked her and to the rest of this two people inside of this so boring room, in confusion of course. They just stare like fools. Hello? I ask any of you. Maybe someone wants to answer?
"Lady, I'm your mom, we're your family." I was shocked, they're my family. The hell did I forget? So stupid!
"Wait, what? Are you sure?" My question is a bit sarcastic, maybe I forgot everything but not my trust issues.
"Doc, what happened?" she asked the man in white suit.
"Madam, as what I have said before your daughter might suffer amnesia." When I heard that I feel a sudden numbness of my body.
"What's Amnesia?" I questioned.
"It's a loss of memory," he replied.
"W-what? A-amnesia? No way. I just passed out last night, so it's not possible," I insisted, and now they're looking at me cluelessly and before I realize what happened my mom spoke. "Lady, you're in a coma for these past 3 years."
What the hell did I just heard? I just cried at what I found out. Imagine missing your life for 3 years!? It felt that I just blink and then woke up and forgot everything? What did just happen?
"Because of the incident that caused severe damage in her brain, your daughter suffered from Anterograde amnesia, it is a loss of the ability to create new memories, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. When you have anterograde amnesia, you can't form new memories. This effect can be temporary. And this can affect your daily activities. But as of now maybe her memories aren't coming back yet because she just woke up from a long coma, but it won't be long and her memories from the past will also come back and let's hope for good that she will get to know you."
My mom asked, "So, it means doc, that the memories she will acquire now will be lost just in a snap?"
"I'm sorry, madam."
"Is there anything that we can do?"
"We can do therapy, but we cannot assure that it would help her."
After we heard that everyone is crying in the room now. Why did this happen to me? Out of crying from confusion, my head suddenly hurt. Then everyone got panicked. I'm crying now in pain and then suddenly my vision blacked out.
"Happy Anniversary, Love." Klio kissed my back, I turned to him.
"Happy Anniversary. I love you.” I kissed him. And now we're dancing under the moonlight.
He is Kliosate Atticus Havero my boyfriend, we've been together for almost 5 years now. We met in high school, in the guidance.
FLASHBACK
"So, it's you again Miss Madrid? What is it now?" Our principal was annoyed when she said that, her eyebrow looked like a saleswoman in the canteen with that super thin liner. While I was watching her eyebrow, the mysterious door suddenly opened, another demon went to the sky. In fairness, he's fine.
"Mr. Havero? You too? What's wrong with you people?" The Lady of the school was angry.
"Ma'am, I saw Mr. Havero trimming those Santan flowers in the quadrangle!" Complaint of this stubborn teacher.
"It's Ixora Coccinea," he insisted.
"What?" The teacher jaw dropped and then I saw that my teacher grabbed a phone from his pocket and googled it.
"I said it is Ixora Coccinea, a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. It consists of tropical evergreen trees and shrubs and holds around 500 species. It is a dense, multi-branched evergreen shrub that is fairly small that grows about 4 to 6 ft." In fairness, beauty, and brain.
"The scene is yours!" I shouted. Now their eyes are on me.
"Quiet, Ms. Madrid!" I was scolded. What a day to be alive!
"It's still Santan," the teacher insisted, not letting the teacher down.
"I don't use that word," he answered with confidence. Omg, bars! The teacher is even more annoyed.
"So, what's the problem with that Miss Lopez? Mr. Havero is just generous to help in trimming."
"Trimming in a figure of a d*ck?" When Miss Lopez said that I couldn't stop laughing, even the clever rude laughed at her nonsense and stupid idea. Sir Mendez suddenly pinched me on the side of my belly. It's a big challenge to contain laughter.
"Both of you stop laughing!" Principal was really angry.
"How about you Miss Madrid? What is it again?" Her attention diverted on me.
"Ma'am, I caught her cheating in my class," my teacher reported as if he was teaching, he doesn't even teach in class. He just spent most of the time to tell his life story to us.
"I just handed out the paper," I insisted, trying to make a sarcastic face.
"Handed out a paper with an answer already," my teacher said. Boy santan suddenly laughed.
"I'm sorry I was just thinking of the money, I'm just business minded," I said playfully.
"MISS MADRID! STOP THIS NONSENSE!" Principal shouted furiously. She was really angry.
"Both of you, this is the last time I would give you a chance! If you did this again, both of you are expelled!” She holds her head out of disappointment. “I will surely address this both to your parents!”
So that's it! We were just scolded in the guidance, nothing new. When we went out, someone called me.
"Hey!" I turned to him. Yes, it was Havero who called me.
"Oh, what is it boy santan?" I teasingly asked him.
"I said I don't use that word," he insisted and look at me seriously and I'm not lying when I say that I find him more attractive with that look. I gulp a little bit.
I cleared my throat, "So what? I used that word!" I exclaimed, raising my brow. I stared at him. This man got my nerves!
"You're disrespecting me," he replied and gave me a fascinating smirk.
"Wow? Okay. So, what now?" I questioned him in an attitude manner.
"I'm Kliosate Atticus Havero," he introduced. As if I want to know his name.
"Did I ask?" He comes close to me, very close and it looked like we were about to exchange faces.
"I know you want it," he whispered. And, before he walks away, he added, "By the way, it's Klio for short." My lips parted, not because of his name but because of the thickness of his face.
I watched him finally walked away.
His sense of confidence was so strong that he assumed I might be attracted to him.
How self-assured is this man? So tall! There must be fear in the skyscraper. He believed I had feelings for him. Huh! He must exist solely in his mind. Tss!

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”

He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.

But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
