Devyn

It’s been a month and Devyn still had no clue of where to start with the search for her twin brother. She had the means, she had the capital, but how does one go about finding a ghost?

She gets into her SUV and heads into town to gather a few supplies for the week. Over the past month, she had been keeping a low profile in this town, but with her hair and beauty, she sticks out like a sore thumb. An elderly shopkeeper mistook her for her mother when she first walked into his shop, but she had to play dumb about who that was.

Sighing as she parked her car out front, she grabs her wallet and her eyes fell on her old phone. She has not switched it on since she left Manhattan, but she knew the moment she did, Kieran would be able to pinpoint where she was. Would he still be looking for her after a month? Would he still care?

She sits back in her seat and held the cell phone in her hands, moving it from one hand to the other, conte

    Devyn Devyn wakes up from yet another fever dream where Kieran took her away from everything, killing all those who disrespected and violated her. Whisking her away to their love nest and vowing never to let harm come to her again. But reality crashed through and she knew Kieran wasn’t there. Of course, he wasn’t. If he was, she wouldn’t be bent over double from the blows to her back administered earlier. No one told her why she was here or what purpose she served, but every evening someone would come in here to violate her in the worst possible ways. Devyn rubbed her stomach and wished she was still naïve, wondering where the men were taking her after they ambushed her at the cottage. She knew something was off because they spoke Italian and her heart hasn’t stopped hammering since they shoved her in between two men in a truck and blindfolded her. She tried asking them who they were and why they were sent, but they wouldn’t answer her. When

    KieranHe looks at Dimitri, so many questions behind his eyes, then he shoves him back. “What? No, that can’t be,” He says as confusion overtakes him. Devyn was pregnant? How was that possible? Dimitri walks towards Kieran with no fear, knowing that he could snap at any moment, and nods. “She looks far along, Teague, four months at the most and if they continue to torture her like that, she will lose the child.”Four months? He paces the floor with anxiety gripping his heart as hopelessness sets in his core. Four months... four months and yet she left him. Dimitri walks towards him and shoves him against the wall again. “You need to get a grip right now, Teague. Devyn will need you to keep calm so we can rescue her. Now, are you ready to do this or not?” He asks Kieran, voice calm as ever.But Kieran shakes his head, “No, I’ll kill the guy.” He says with a grin, catching Dimitri’s

If he did that it would be a blemish on our lineage.”The door closes behind the man as he leaves Devyn’s cell once again, arguing with his Italian cohort. She curls into a ball and wishes for death to take her after seeing Kieran’s broken expression during the video call. He saw her getting violated in the worst way possible. Would he even want her after this? Would he even bother trying to save her?Kieran knew this was something between him and the person he had called Conor, someone he seemed to recognise after she ripped the sleeve of his shirt. This angered her assailant. After he killed the call, he landed a vigorous kick to her abdomen… and now she was bleeding. “I’m going to die here,” she said out loud to no one in particular and

    KieranA tall, bulky man with grey eyes and blonde hair walks towards Kieran as soon as he steps into the private hospital and leads him off to the side. Kieran could only assume that this was Dr Ivanov, Dimitri’s contact. “How long have they have held her for?” He asks, surprising Kieran. Dimitri must have called the doctor with news of his arrival. “Close to two months,” he admits and the doctor nods before opening a door to a ward for Devyn. “Lay her over there, then please wait outside. We will handle things from here.” He explains to Kieran, who lays Devyn down on the hospital bed and looks down at her, feeling as if he was leaving his heart on the table for them to poke at. “We will take care of her, Mr Teague,” Dr Ivanov says and gestures towards the door. Kieran nods then turns on his heel and leaves the room.The wait was the worst. It was close to 2 hours, and they were still busy with her

    Devyn Her eyelids felt heavy as she eased them open. What had happened? There was a firefight. Then Kieran appeared and… She shot up and her heart beat fast. Kieran had been there. He came for her. Where was she? Her eyes scanned the room and fell on the sleeping figure in the chair in front of her. He was leaning over onto her hospital bed and held her hand in his. Her heart grew at the image of him. He still looked so peaceful when he slept. Tears fell down her cheeks as she squeezed his hand. “Kieran?” His eyes flew open at the sound of her voice and he sat up, looking straight at her. “Devyn…” he says, his voice breaking, and he stood up to wrap his arms around her. “Devyn,” He says again, breathing in her scent and she couldn’t help but hug him back. She was back in his arms, which was a bittersweet feeling in itself. Sighing, she gently pushed him away and their eyes met as guilt burnt hot in her chest. “Kieran-” “Don’t,

I mean it will take a few hours but he’ll be here. Or don’t you want to meet him?” Kieran asks. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to meet him, although they had met before, it was more the fact that she would be meeting her brother… her flesh and blood. Her other half, so to say.Devyn suddenly chuckles. “How crazy is it that we both gravitated towards you?” she says and looks up at him with a smile. Her mind goes back to what he had said earlier about Dimitri’s wife. “You mentioned that someone wanted to meet me?” She asks and Kieran nods, “Amaranthe Baranova. A few years ago she was kidnapped and tortured. I was told that if they had gotten to her half an hour later, she would ha

I have never seen her be so adamant about something before. She truly wishes to help and give back. Something she didn’t have while recovering.” Dimitri says and Kieran sighs. “Might as well become fucking Bratva since I am in so deep with debts to you.” He says, running his fingers through his hair, but as he looks up at Dimitri, he sees the Pakhan shake his head. “One blood debt, Teague.” was all he said, and Kieran blanched.Fuck. A blood debt, that’s even worse. “Collect anytime,” Kieran says with a nod. and knew that Dimitri would definitely collect on this one day, and he dreaded the day it would come.

    I sit across from the woman who was my fascination for so long and now has grown into the love of my life. I never knew what this feeling was when I first started seeing her as more than the woman I thought I despised. Now I realise how foolish I was before.“Are you going to eat or keep staring?” she asks me after placing a forkful of pasta in the mouth. I chuckle and shake my head. “Sorry, just day dreaming.”“Hopefully, it’s about me?” She says, finishing off the last of her favourite meal. I roll my eyes. “When isn’t it about you?” Ah, fuck, we sound like a couple of teenagers, but I fucking love it. Anastasiya grins and stands up, leaning over the kitchen table with her swollen belly. “Does that mean I’m in your nightmares as well?” She asks with a raised eyebrow, and I put the last forkful of pasta in my mouth. “You bet your ass that you are.”

Martin will kill me if there are uninvited guests! I need to get up. I need-“Thank God you spoke to Dimitri about this, Killian! She would be dead by now if you didn’t!”“Killian…?” I murmur, my throat feeling as dry as parchment and my eyes struggling to open. I realise that I’m lying on my side and turn my head, opening my eyes straight into the green pair that haunts my dreams.“Hey, Princess,” he says with a smile and strokes my hair. “How’re you feeling?”What? “Killian? Why… Why are you here? What happened?” I stutter with a hoarse voice. The last thing I remember was hearing a bang before fading out. It usually happens

    With my heart sitting in my fucking ass, I knock on Dimitri’s office door, and he tells me to enter. A small smile crosses his lips when he looks up from his laptop and sees me. “So finally you’ve conceded, eh?” He says with a chuckle as we shake hands.I shrug. “The old man wants to retire soon; it’s only fair,” I say with a smile, and we take our respective seats. “To cut a long story short, the Bratva members who are inching in on your territory are based in Washington. They’re looking to take out every trace of the Westies in Hell's Kitchen, but I have shown no reason as to why.” Dimitri starts.“I know why; the shipments from Dubai. We’re the only ones receiving a direct line from Tarian, and we get the cleanest cut. That’s the only thing I can think of.” I say.Dimitri sits back in his chair and sighs. “I suppose, and since DiMarco receives a similar shipment

    I watch as she walks away from me for what would be the last time and savour it. Anastasiya felt the same way about me, but there’s nothing either of us can do about it anymore. She belonged to a fucking politician now.Deciding to put this mess behind me, I get in my car and hightail it out of there. There’s no use in sticking around now that I’ve had a final taste of my forbidden fruit - and oh, how sweet she was.I can still taste her long after I leave the Baranov mansion, still hear her moaning my name and gagging on my cock. How the fuck did we gravitate back towards one another after our shitty relationship in school? If only I weren’t such a little shit back then, that would have been me in place of that fucking politician.They say regret usually comes too late, and right now, I am filled to the brim with it.Even if I managed to find someone else in the future, no one would compare to her; Anastasiya was it for me, and as

    AnastasiyaOf course, it's positive. Dakota tells me not to worry, and obviously, I do. I am a mess of nerves throughout my getting dressed, the ride to the wedding, the vows, and congratulations. Having my father walk me down the aisle brought me to tears, and a bittersweet emotion clouds my heart. He will no longer have me in his life, and it hurts like hell.I hate to say it, but I am no longer Anastasiya Baranova; I am now Anastasiya Ackermann.Just like that, my powerful underworld name fell away, and now it is replaced with a politician’s. I know my father needs me to do this, and it is my way of making it up to him, so I plaster on a fake smile and push through. The wedding is well attended with many famous faces - both of the mafia underworld and political parties. Even a few celebrities were here, some I did not invite.I had changed out of my huge wedding dress and am now wearing a comfortable strapless eveni

    AnastasiyaI walk over to them and place a hand on Dakota’s shoulder. “Hey, are you okay, Dee?” I ask, not sure what to ask in any case. She nods, then wipes her tears away. “I’m just overwhelmed. I didn’t expect Dylan to say all those things or even know all those things.” I nod and rub her back. “You have a tough boy there, babe. Also, you don’t have to push yourself; if being here and around my brother is this hard, you don’t have to be here for the wedding.” Dakota’s head whips up, and she shoots me a glare. “I’m the maid of honour; of course I have to be here! Also, Ayden doesn’t affect me as much as you think, Ana. I was more worried about what he would have done to Dylan.” She says and cups her son’s cheek.“I wouldn’t have allowed him to do anything to either of you. But, Dee, we will need to introduce him to my fath

Oh my God, my best friend is here! I haven’t seen her since she checked into rehab after Ayden’s abuse; her parents then sent her to a private school, and she worked for a few years at her mother’s fashion house in Paris. We’ve kept in contact, though.Running out of the mansion doors, I see her Bugatti Veyron pull up and sprint towards her. We shriek as we see one another and run into each other’s arms, crying like babies.I then push her away and take in the sight of her, sighing as I do so - she looked exactly like her mother—Blonde, curvaceous, perfect size 10, tall, blue eyes - gorgeous.“You look amazing, Dr Dereon!” I say, giving her anoth

How could I have been so goddamn stupid to think I could slip out for one last night of freedom, and now I’m stuck with him constantly in my thoughts.His hands all over my body, his face in between my legs, his hand gripping my throat as he pounded away inside of me… Fuck, it was the best night of my life.Argh! This is annoying! How do I forget about him?! He pisses me off to no end, and now he’s seen a part of me I’ve always kept hidden. HIM! The bastard who made a fool of me on my first day at St Leonard's. I know he’s hated me all this time since I was the one who called off our engagement. Trust me; the feeling is mutual.How did I not recognise him? He doesn’t look that much different from our high school days, except for his hair colour and tattoos on his face.

What the fuck is wrong with me?Anastasiya Volkova is the reason I am no longer in line to take over from my father. She's the one who rejected our engagement in high school and made me look like a fool in front of my family. I must admit I was a little asshole back then, but it didn't warrant her rejection of our engagement.Fuck sakes, I need to get her out of my mind; it would do no good to dwell on the night we shared together.I sit back on my couch with a Scotch in my hand and breathe out a sigh. What the hell happened to Anastasiya when she left St Leonards? She used to be this prim and proper girl who used her name to get places.
