Morally Corrupt (Morally Questionable, #1)

by Veronica Lancet

cannibalism,

WHA

When clarity returned, months later, I remembered the conversation with the stranger—the looming threat of Jimenez. And I've been going after him ever since.

Drama

No one would question my guise.

Your guise?

I knew without a doubt that he was mine, and one day I'd possess him. It hadn't taken me long to find out everything about him and put my plan into motion. It would be another three years before I would officially meet him.

sis is wilding

Hotel Empire Room 204 14th May 2:00 PM Ok

not the “ok” I feel like weapons dealers wouldn’t respond like that LMAO

"That was," she says and then whistles. I just look at her, seeing a stranger. "Put yourself together." I finally find my voice, sounding gruff even to my ears. "You look like a whore."

rudeee

"Artemis," I answer, using my mercenary code-name.

Now that’s a fun code name :0

"B... Did you really like it?" He's still looking at the screen and not at me. "I did." I sigh, and I turn to face him. "Theo, why did you think I wouldn't?" "B... you're so soft, and you've had such a sheltered upbringing... I didn't think you'd ever..."

Thought he was talking about the lasagna he made for dinner 😭

"One of these days you'll have to be... I don't like you wasting away because of drugs." "Says the drug trafficker." I snort. "Yeah, well, I don't touch that shit."

Antisocial Personality Disorder.

I'd quickly recognized that Vlad, like me, did not have a moral compass. (Although his sense of humor was more developed than mine.)

Tragic, you’d think she’d be funnier

Yes, I drive badly, or I should say recklessly. I might even be the poster child for road rage. Of course, Theo probably thinks my skills are just bad because I'm a woman.

and you just let him be sexist like that? sheeesh

So far, Bianca's maintained her facade. It's funny because, for all her pretense, she's never once asked me to notify the police. She tried to get some information on what Marcel did with the bodies, but I shut her down.

aren’t you the police? why would we need to notify them?

room. They are handsome, in an Aryan way, but their stance tells me they are also deadly.

in a WHAT WAY

"What do you mean?" I ask him and then look at my wife. "Bianca?" She doesn't react. "Tell him. Tell him, my darling daughter, how you poisoned your nanny when you were ten. You do remember, right?"

what did the nanny do 😭

Tik Tok... Tik Tok I focus on the sounds made by the pendulum on my desk,

Thought he was going on the app

No, I wanted something far more valuable to tie me to my people. Loyalty.

love when they’re not another Machiavelli

For a few years now, I've been hanging on by a thread.

me and depression

It had been hard to hear about her childhood, but did it really justify her actions?

Of killing the nanny? yes

"No, illegal immigrants most likely. From what you told me, they barely knew how to use a gun."

too hard to say undocumented?

Delivery received.

Too many POVs in this book I swear

"You know Newton's third law?"

Every action has an equal opposite reaction?

"It means that who I am depends very much on how you behave. If you are forthcoming, I will be friendly. If you are not... better not find out." He frowns at me.

okay well that’s barely newton’s 3rd law?

"Did you know there are over twelve thousand species of ants in the world? Trivia."

Who are you, hank pym?

Images start assailing me, me going on a rampage kill and Chimera standing in the shadows watching; of him draining bodies of blood.

like a VAMPIRE

"Will he go to the police?"

he is the police???

"Looking at your circumstances right now, it doesn't seem that you have. Also that wife of yours... Does she know about your past?

Damn he was being a hater when he may be just as bad

"Did you even hear what she was saying? She was romanticizing killing. What does she think that we can suddenly become Mr. and Mrs. Smith?" I ask almost absentmindedly, but I notice Marcel frown.

I don’t see a problem with that

"I envy you." I start trying to find some common ground. He seems surprised, so I just continue. "You can kill with your bare hands. I wish I could do that."

she’s wild LMAO

"We can't... yet." Marcel intervenes as he studies the fingers. "Too frozen. We need to leave them thaw first." I scrunch up my nose as I look them over and realize he's right. "Let's microwave them," I suggest, and Adrian slaps his forehead this time, letting out a loud sigh.

MICROWAVE FINGERS

"I will once again explain the rules for those who are new. A few numbers will be drawn for the chance to dine on our terrific prisoner. Along with the numbers, you will also receive a body part from which you can eat. The number which is lucky to get the heart will go last and will get the chance to personally carve it out of our lovely prisoner."

HERES THE CANNIBALISM THIS IS TOO FAR AUTHOR

"B... are you ok?" "I'm fine." She says in a small voice. This time, her eyes are no longer blank. They are bleak.

IM NOT OK SHE JUSY ATE A HUMAN HEART

younger." "Wait... Didn't Senator Wolfe also go to Princeton?" I'm suddenly struck by that thought, and Bianca's look tells me it just occurred to her as well.

can’t trust ivy leagues

"I think I needed some time to come to terms with everything. I just can't believe I spent years under that man, basically being his faithful dog." "I still don't understand why he would do that.... maybe he hoped you'd lose a fight and die?" "That's the thing, I don't think he did. He was always the one to push me to train harder, to be better."

what if he’s your father :0

She found a man who married her and gave her the perfect cover. I searched for a long time for her, you know. Most of all, because I wanted you. My eldest born." He says, pride showing on his face.

hahahaha I was RIGHT

"You will make sure he lives. If not, I will hunt down everyone you care about, and I will put a bullet through their skulls. Are we clear?" I threaten in a steely voice. The doctor pales at my words and just nods numbly.

This poor doctor

"You said I was in a coma for two weeks? Then it should be... September 20th?" He looks hopeful. "And the year?" "2010."

noooo

When I see the article's title, my eyes go wide, and I drop the phone. NYPD Chief Commissioner Theodore Hastings was found dead, aged 34.

my mouth dropped this better be fake because I’m p sure this is a romance book and should have a HEA
