I slept with my boyfriend’s twin brother, a Mafia don. One wild, drunk night, I gave in to him at his family’s masquerade ball, only to discover too late that the man who held me was not Nikolai my loving boyfriend. It was his twin Kieran Petrov, the feared don of the NY Mafia. A cruel man with blood on his hands, now I hold a devastating secret. I’m pregnant and I have no clue which of the brothers is the father. So when I decide to come clean to Nikolai and get closure before I leave the city, I find out a grave secret. Nikolai had been cheating on me with my best friend for years. So I run away, leaving it all behind and going into hiding. However, the Petrov family has enemies, does that want the only heir of the family dead. But Kieran tracks me down, he brings me back and present me with a deal I can’t refuse. Marry him and receive protection or stay where I am and die. I should hate him, in fact I do, he had known I was his brother’s girlfriend and still went ahead to make love to me. But I have no choice, I signed the contract and become Kieran’s contract wife. It was just for protection, nothing else, at least that’s what I think

To an extent, I understand the kind of individuals here; my parents were once part of the mafia, after all.And these people, they detest weakness with everything in their veins. I can’t afford to show fear or shock or turn and walk away.That would be a blatant disgrace to Kieran and the rest of them, so I stay and act all calm.He stares at me from the corner of his eye. I know he knows I’m not okay, but this is not the place where we will address it, if he even decides to address it.“Clean this mess up.” He points to the floor with his gun.The blood keeps streaming down the man’s face; with his eyes aghast, it is a terrible sight.I feel snot run up my throat, and I swallow it back immediately.“Let’s go.” He tucks the gun back into his pocket and leaves.Matilda and George follow him immediately, a
Kieran’s POVConversing With The CreeksI shoot my personal assistant a dead stare. I sincerely do not want to involve Selena in this; I know just how emotional she can get. And I know for a fact this is one of the days when she will eventually overthink things beyond what they seem.“What did they say on the call?” she asks immediately.The shock is evident on his face. He turns to see Matilda already scowling at him.“I’m sorry, Young Master Kieran. I failed to observe before speaking.”“Right now, we are being opposed by the creeks. A mistake like this can cost you your life; you know that, right?”“Yes, sir, I am fully aware of the consequences of my actions. I promise that this will be the last time, and I will never repeat this mistake.” He bows his head a little.“That was the exact thing you promised the last time, George. If you do it unconsciously one more time, I will have to retrieve your position. Inasmuch as you are one of my most loyal aides, I can’t have someone who fo
Selena’s POVMeeting Miriam AgainYapping? Does this seem like one of your tragedies comedy shows? That’s a live over there. Not any life it’s Miriam’s! For God’s sake,Kieran,you can’t make such stupid decisions like this entirely on your own.”“I’m sorry, who exactly should I make this kind of decisions with? You? Just take a good look at your self Selena,you’re a mess.”“And I already told you my people are going to bring her here. Stop making so much fuss about it.”My anger knows no bound as I stare at him. I think o different ways to leave this place, to leave his life and ust end all of it.“Whatever it is you are thinking,bear in mind it’s not going to be a progress. You already tried to do that before,trying to do that again would be you handling your precious life to my foes.”“You know better than anyone just how unconcerned I can be.” His jaw tightens.“But you’re going to be concerned if Junior is entangled.”“You will not dare to do such a thing. The day you or any other
Kieran’s POVIssues“Kieran, I know you have issues with the both of them but you went far, don’t you think so?” She tries to pull her hands out of my grips.I tighten my hands even harder.“I do not remember asking you to measure the length of my actions, did I?” I let her go.“No.”I trail her eyes to see her palm red and swollen.“You need an ice pack.” I walk to the kitchen fully aware she is right behind me.I should apologize, I know I should, I just can’t get myself to.“Here.” I pull out the ice pack from the refrigerator and I give it to her.“Thank you.” She takes the ice pack from me and places it on her swollen palm.“Young Master Kieran?” Matilda calls me.“Matilda please.” I plead with her. I already know what she wants to say to me.“Young Master, it’s-“ She tries to push the topic.“Save it Matilda. I’m not willing to hear it. At. All.” I take it one at a time just so she understands how unwilling I am.“Kieran, it has nothing to do with your parents!”“Well entirely.”
Selena’s POVMeeting The Petrovs AgainI still in my movements when I hear those two words. I have always considered this moment and pretended it was never going to happen.“Are they? In your house? Here?”The unsettling frown on his face is a direct yes to my question.“Kieran,I’m not ready to face them. Not yet, not now.” My hands vibrate.“Who you are ready to face Selena is currently none of my business. Come with me.” He takes me by my wrist.The sudden change in character to a certain extent does not surprise me. I knew he was going to change anyways.“Young Master Kieran, Master and Madam are at the gate. They came to see you.”I can tell Matilda is experiencing a bunch of emotions. She seems excited when she speaks about his parents and her face tightens when she stares at Kieran.“I’ll see them off.” He continues dragging me.“Young Master Kieran?”“Yes? Is there anything wrong? This is the house I single-handedly erected from scratch, should they proceed to seize any of the
Public ReviewsKieran’s POVI watch her walk Junior upstairs with a calm mind and a light smile on my face. For ages, I have not been at peace with myself and nobody,not even my lost loyal fans took note of it or decided to opt to help me with a peaceful environment.Now Selena, she is the only person apart from Matilda that will never ageee to condone my excesses simply because I’m Kieran. I am satisfied knowing I have such a person in my life.“Young Master Kieran?”Surprisingly, I turn to meet Matilda all antsy and excited.“Why do you seem excited and where is Junior?”“I put him to bed young master.”“What’s with your attitude? You’re acting like a child that just found his missing candy.” I go ahead to stay reading the contents of the phone.“Well, I am not necessarily the one that found the candy though but still it makes me excited.” She bows her head to the ground with a smile.“Funny, who found the candy then?”“Kieran. You’re smiling and not the fake one you have always had
Selena’s POVCrisis“Mr Kieran, the total bill.” She hands the total bill to Kieran. I can see the total at the ending of the paper. My heart bleeds.Something makes me feel like Kieran would prefer if I just dropped some few things.“I feel like selecting some clothes. Since I’m not going to be wearing all of them, I don’t necessarily think all of it is okay.”“Selena, I already told you, this is nothing to me. If you want me to get you the whole store, certainly, I will. You just relax and stop bothering over it.” He smiles.I do not fail to notice the negative stares majority of the attendants pass to me. I shrug it off because I am not willing to be entangled in another mess with Kieran.“Here.” He hands over his card to the attendant.“Thank you sir.” She swipes the card at the machine in front of us. My eyes go over the bill and my heart bleeds.“We may leave Selena.” He takes one of the bags from me and walks outside.I follow him immediately.“We will not be going to Junior’s
Kieran’s POV Public Opinions “But I do, Kieran.” “Learn to discard it. Stop caring about people too much. It’s not going to help you in any way.” I play with my thumbs as memories flashes by in my memory. “Thank you.” She pulls away. “I sincerely hope this thank yous’ are coming from someone that has heard and will adapt.” I draw her chin to look up to me. “It’s funny, this advice is coming from you.” She laughs bitterly. “What do you mean? I’m not concerned with people’s opinion, and I never will.” I shrug my shoulders. “That was not what I was referring to, Kieran, I was referring to you as a person.” “It’s funny that you ask me to listen to you and change, but you will never do the same.” “I have had countless experiences and memories that had shaped me to be this person. It’s nothing you really can understand.” “Age and tough times is sincerely not a measure for perfection.” She sounds annoyed. “I never defined myself as perfect Selena. I was merely telling yo
Selena’s POVMysterious My ears twitch when I hear his sentence. I turn back to see him, his hands are outstretched with the phone in his hands. “Uhm Kieran?” My throat runs dry. “Yes?” He arches one of his eyebrows. “The phone? Why? What’s it for?” I don’t believe he just bought a new phone because he thinks, or he noticed I needed one. “Well, a lot of ladies in the mall are taking pictures and videos, and I wouldn’t want you to be left out. So I figured I’d get you a new one. If it makes any sense.” His cheeks go red. “Oh, thank you. I was not expecting you to be thoughtful as well.” I take the phone from him. “There are a lot of things you would not be expecting from me that you will see and get to know about me. I think it’s high time you start shedding off some perception you have of me.”“Hmm, what perceptions, Kieran?”“Well, I have no idea on what the perceptions are. I’m not in your head, after all. You’re the only one that knows, so tell me, what vein do you see me? W
The TruthSelena’s POV My heart thumps rapidly in my chest when I find out a shocking truth. My boyfriend is a criminal and so is his entire family.Moments ago“I want you to meet my family,Selena. I want to make you my woman and you must know every part of me before we do this, I do not want to hide things from you at all. Do you remember what I said the first time you tried to get close to me, Selena.” I swallow nervously.“Yes. You said bright girls like me don’t deserve a tiny chance at your dark world.”“Now, I want your brightness to light up my world and expel the darkness in me.” The calmness in his eyes did nothing to ease the anxiousness that was threatening to devour me any moment from now.“Just to be clear Selena, it is still a contract marriage. I’m only doing this because my parents are extremely sensitive. We cannot afford to mess anything up, not now.” His eyes search mine for an answer and I do not bother hiding my feelings.“Is it a must that I attend this?”“We w...
