~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devin~
I watched Ren and Griffin walk on the shore, barefoot, hand in hand as I grilled the fish I caught earlier. They were picking up shellfish in front of our beach house in Barbados, the sound of their laughter was mingling with the waves crashing on the shore.
Ren waved at me while Griffin held a starfish in his hand and showed it to his Mama.
We came here yesterday and Ren hasn't greeted me happy birthday yet.
I’ve never celebrated my birthday, I had no reason to. Mom and Eve were the only people who greeted me on my birthday until I was recognized by the public as one of the youngest business tycoons in the world. People started sending me gifts, greetings, wishes, but none really mattered to me since they didn't know the real me. I thanked them, but the love I was longi

DEVIN I Love You
I’m so sorry about the delay in my update. Please enjoy this additional chapter.~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Devin~ “Are you happy?” Ren mumbled after I made her twirl on our first dance as husband and wife. “Of course,” I grabbed her waist and pulled her back in my arms as we continued to sway on the tune of Shane Filan’s Beautiful In White. “Why wouldn’t I be happy. You’re wearing mom’s ring and my name is now yours.” She giggled, leaning her face on my chest as she wrapped her arms tightly around my waist. “I love you.” “You’re mine completely, you don’t have a choice but to love me,” I teased her and she squeezed me with her light force. “Cara is here.” I looked at my visionless artist friend who was dancing with Klaus. “Yes,” Ren looked over Klaus and Cara. “I met her the day before we left Manhattan. Did you know I got jealous of her?” Cara is a fifteen-year-old girl who lives next door to my place. We became friends when I helped
DEVIN Christmas Special
~Ren~ The colorful sparkling decoration of the Christmas tree we put up earlier is dancing in my husband's and son’s eyes. Devin lifted Griffin by his waist, our son held the star in his hands as he reached up and put it on the top of the Christmas tree. “Now, Mama,” Griffin said, giving me a convincing nod. I was holding the plug of the Christmas tree, connecting it with the outlet, the lights came to life and the star above the six-foot tree twinkled with different luminous colors. Griffin giggled as Devin peppered him with kisses on his cheeks. “Can I?” our son asked for the twentieth time today. He’s very excited to open the present Devin has for him. It’s not that we don’t celebrate Christmas before, but this is Griffin’s first Christmas with his father. “Can’t wait after midnight, buddy?” Devin ruffled Griffin’s hair, setting him down on his feet. Griffin pouted, looking a little thoughtful before he answered. “I can, Pap
DEVIN A.K.A The Devil
“Ms. Green,” I looked up from my computer immediately after hearing Mr. Mávros’, my boss’ voice. He didn’t even wait for my response because before I could speak, “I need the Milan files at seven a.m. tomorrow.” Mr. Devin Carlo Mávros, also known as the Devil, has been my boss for three years, and as his P.A., I knew better than to make reasons with him, but not tonight. I have a date. “Those papers are due next Friday.” As soon as I saw the crease forming on his forehead, I stood up and explained my stand further. “The marketing department hasn’t given me their reports, Sir.” I took my black notepad and checked what day it was, although I knew it precisely. It’s Friday, and the meeting for the proposed Milan hotel happened only last Monday. It’ll take up to two weeks to finish a feasibility study with a complete team, give or take. I can finish it alone in t
DEVIN Broken
“Good luck with the date,” Coleen mumbled, parking her car in front of my apartment building. She lives two blocks away from my place, and she drops me off from time to time. With my Mávros Enterprises salary, I can afford to buy a car, but I enjoy the rush of riding public transportation somehow, so I take the bus to work in the morning and walk home after. It’s a thirty-minute walk, but I love the exercise, and besides, Manhattan is such a pretty place at night. “Thank you, and thanks for helping me with the paper,” I hugged her after I unbuckled my seatbelt and slid out of her car. “Call me after,” she teased. “I want to know every detail of your lovemaking.” Shaking my head, I responded with a mocking grin, “you need a boyfriend.” She rolled her eyes and stuck ou
DEVIN Fired
It must’ve looked like I had tummy problems for Mr. Mávros’ lips to twitch. “Thank you, Sir,” I lowered my head, gazing at the tip of my black shoes. When Mr. Mávros didn’t speak, I looked up again and saw him already browsing his phone. So much for paying attention to me. Dream on Green. Why would he even care to spare you a second glance? Your boyfriend dumped you on your anniversary! “Is there anything else, Ms. Green?” he muttered after a few moments. I didn’t realize that I was zoning out. “No, Sir, I- I’ll-I better go. Have a nice day, Sir.” I spun on my heels, knowing well that my cheeks were in flames from embarrassment. I let out a deep breath as soon as the door ki
DEVIN where is my coffee?
~Devin~‘’I know what it looks like, Sharon’’ I held her icy hands again but she pulled away like my touch burned her. ‘’The media is making me look bad, come on now. I could never do that to you.’’ I lied.
DEVIN Search
~Devin~ The replacement disappeared like a bubble popping out of thin air, and I am left alone with my thoughts. She left? She fucking left? I fired her more than once, and this is the first time she actually followed my orders. Whenever she makes a mistake, I always fire her, but the next day, when I see my coffee waiting for me at my desk, my anger fades and we start over like we used to. Not that we actually talked about any of it, it was just a mutual understanding. I dialed Ms. Green’s personal number, but she wasn’t picking up her phone. “Fuck!” I cursed loudly. What am I doing? Chasing after that bratty P.A.? Thousands of people around New York want her position and she just left?
DEVIN Wishes
~Devin~I offered her as her big green jade eyes widened in surprise. Those eyes, why was she hiding them in her thick glasses? That’s my favorite shade of green, just like Mom’s.

DEVIN Closure
~Devin~Ren’s recovery is faster than what I expected, she’s going back to her usual routine around the house within just three days. Even with the bandage still around her shoulder, she helps Mrs. Kelvin in the kitchen in the morning and prepares food for Griffin and me.Who was I to object when the girl I love prepares food for me and our son? Although I am worried about her condition, I can see that the spark in her eyes is back. Those glints that were missing when she first opened her eyes in the ambulance. It scared the shit out of me, seeing how pale she was, slowly losing life. It’s a nightmare, a horror I wouldn’t dare challenge to come to us again.“Papa,” Griffin was rubbing his eyes, standing beside me while I was watching Ren silently from the entrance frame of the kitchen. My son opened his arms so wide, a gesture he does when he wants me to carry him.He’s a big boy now, not a baby anymore, but I&rsq
DEVIN Another Chance
~Ren~Am I dead? I guess not. My body hurts like a bitch everywhere. Even my pinky is aching. They say that death is peaceful, like an endless emptiness. I’m sure that this isn’t it.The ambulance and police sirens are so loud, people chattering around me. My eyelids were heavy, as if they were glued together and won’t let go of the other. Stupid eyelids.“Ren… please…” I heard his voice. Why is Devin sad? Is he crying? “Ren, hang on.”Something must’ve slammed shut, a door perhaps and I felt warm hands enclosed mine. I knew it was Devin, his scent lingers in the air overpowering the foul smell of blood. Trying to squeeze his hand back, I groaned when I f
DEVIN Don't
~Devin~Watching Ren Sleep in my arms peacefully is my favorite time of the day, except for those ‘practice’ things we do of course, and spending time with Griffin.I’d never get tired of admiring her beautiful features, her long brown wavy hair draped over the sheets of our bed and my arms. Tucking away some mischievous locks that surround her face, I trailed my fingers along her cheeks to her jaws and brushed my thumb over her pinkish full lips. These lips that I can’t get enough of.“I love you,” I fondled my lips over
DEVIN Answers
~Ren~“Mama,” Griffin climbs on my lap as Natalie and I listen to a few singers who are aspiring to make a break in the music industry.My son requested for me to write his name with his father’s surname and he’s been pretty busy shading the paper with incoherent patterns while I work.He’s excited about it, ecstatic even. He jumped high and low when we told him about the news, both he and his father were fairly excited to see the papers even if Griffin couldn’t understand them yet.
DEVIN Soon
~Ren~My heart aches for Devin. Hearing him say that he isn’t worthy of becoming a father is making my heart clench.I can’t help but blame myself for adding fuel to the doubt he was feeling right now. As I watched him sleep peacefully, I reached for his hair and twirled a few locks in my fingers. His hair is longer. It gives him more of that bad boy vibe and I like it so much. He really is the older version of Griffin. Their full lips, their blue hues and long thick lashes, even their nose were very similar. I bet my son would be such a charmer when he grows up like his father.
DEVIN Right and Wrong
~Ren~“Why?” was my stupid response. This is not what I was expecting to hear from Devin.I’m happy, don’t get me wrong, ecstatic even, but I think he’s making irrational decisions. Lightning-fast decisions that could either make us or break us.“I love you,” he held my face in his big warm hands, electric shocks flowing through my whole body. “And I want to be with you for as long as I live, Ren.” His eyes looking straight into my green ones.
