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
View MoreChapter NineSelena’s POVDiscoveryMy head throbs me with a banging headache. One I cannot ignore, but I choose to. The only thing I have on my mind is how I am going to present this to Nikolai. Should I proceed to tell him first that I am heavy with child and then let him know I do not know who the father is? I breathe deeply and I decide to see him after work. Usually, I’d walk briskly to my working place as it’s a trekkable distance. But now, I can’t walk so fast anymore. I’m forced to take a cab. I wave down a taxi. “Burgsway.” I hop into the taxi immediately. “What’s going on?” Newscasters are hanging all around my workplace. I pay the driver and I get down. I walk as fast as my legs can carry me and I run up to my office. “What exactly is going on?” I scan the workers trying to gauge the severity of the situation from their facial expression, all I see is sympathy and pity. “Selena.” I jolt when I hear my boss’s voice. His direct orders have never been a pleasant one. “
Selena’s POVDiscovers She’s Pregnant“Mother and father keep asking about you. They’ve opened up to you Sel. They want to build you into the woman worthy of staying by my side.” His eyes sparkle with excitement.“I will not be going to your family to see them for a very long time. It’s been weeks and I have still lot recovered from the gruesome memories. For the first time in my life, I saw somebody’s life slip out of them right in front of my eyes and only then did you mother and father accept me! I am not ready for such a bloody lifestyle Nikolai. It’s best if we remain the way we are.”“To say nothing but the truth,I’ve been considering this contract marriage and I am not sure I’m the woman compatible with you. They were right after all.” I air everything on my chest ignoring the most important reason why this cannot work.I refuse to let him know that I still hold myself accountable over that horrible night.“Selena,you signed a contract. The contract would only be terminated if
Selena’s POVKieran’s True NatureI shiver in my seat, I clutch my stomach tightly trying my best not to throw up.“Kieran.” Nikolai turns to look at Kieran, the both of them calm.“Yes?” He stands up from the table and walks to Don Carlo’s body.“Leave him.” He places the tip of the gun at the back of Priscilla’s head.“Just kill me you bastard!” Snot is running down her nose. It is almost impossible to believe that this is the same Priscilla I met yesterday.“Hmm, I don’t punish ladies I’ve not tasted.” He smirks and looks at me. My trembling body does nothing to ease the guilt.“But I do have a way to punish you.” He grabs her by her hair with so much force, my scalp winces in pain for her.“Bang! Bang!” He fires two more shots to Don Carlo, one to his neck and the other to his head.“There. Do you now understand why I’ve played this game undefeated for so long?” He trails the gun up and down her neck.You’re a monster.” Tears are flowing freely from her eyes and despite his tight
Selena’s POVMeeting Priscilla’s FatherI ignore the numerous languages in Nikolai’s eyes. I want nothing more than to leave this place. Just seeing Kieran sitting comfortably brings back a lot of the memories from yesterday’s night. I struggle to accept myself around Nikolai.“How did he get to find out all of those things Selena?” He gazes leisurely at his family. I straighten my spine and I refuse to take any pose that will give away extra information.“How do you expect me to know? I thought you told him all of these things. Is he not your brother?” I retort immediately. I pout forming an angry face like I would if I was originally upset.“We will talk about this later. Let’s focus on the main thing at hand. Father and mother would go ahead to say to a lot of nasty things to you, they are only trying to see just how much you can take. Try your best not to let any of their words get to you.” He takes an inch closer to me.“I think I already made a note to myself about this.” I igno
Kieran’s POVDazedI stay in the room a little longer, the events of the last night reminiscing through my mind again and again. When it boils to having many women, I can’t tell who’s worse, Me or Nikolai.But there’s something about her that just seems different.This lady…I’ve had my fair share of women and I’ve never wanted them for more than a night. That is the only similarity I share with my twin brother, Nikolai.And yet, I want to wake up to her scent every day.I almost tried to sneak away some of her properties but that could pass a wrong message.Plus Nikolai has already introduced her to father and mother. I shake my head and I leave the room. I walk straight to the garden at the back of the house and as expected, they are all there.“Kieran,your mother was already assuming you would not be here given your brother’s abrupt behavior last night.” Father lifts his teacup carefully.“That was a dining celebration and it was basically for familiarization. This is the real deal.
Selena’s POVChaosThe bright rays of sun hits me, waking me up from my slumber. I stretch my body as I feel sore over. My head is banging me and I assume it’s a hangover giving how much I drank yesternight.I try to recall what happened after my too many drinks but nothing comes to my mind other than me leaving the ball. I know for a certainty this is not home and I’m not at Nikolai’s place as his room is decorated in minimal colors.“Nikolai!” The rest of the memories I have been trying to gather floods my brain. I turn around and he is lying there still asleep but something doesn’t feel right.Nikolai’s tattoo is on the right side of his neck and his eyebrows are slim and neatly trimmed, this man that has the same appearance with my boyfriend has a dash across his thick eyebrows and his tattoo runs down from his neck to his arms.My eyes trail down his body and I realize his whole body is littered with tattoos.“He is not Nikolai!” My heart beats faster in my chest as I struggle to
Reconciling With The Wrong Man In BedSelena’s POV“I could not hold on anymore, I’m sorry.” I playwith my fingers expecting to hear a reply.“It’s fine.” I squint my eyes in confusion.Nikolai rarely ever accepts to let things be. He dictates things to go his way or no other.Silence looms over us and I decide to drown myself in alcohol and have a temporary escape from this hellish side of the world.I grab the cup on the table careful not to spill it over and still conscious of the looming eyes fixed to my body.“I do not intend to drag a drunk woman up tonight.” He removes my fingers from the cup slightly and downs it in one go.“If you can do that, I can as well.” I take the drink between sips, the contract rules and regulations fresh in my head.“Your parents do not seem to have a very bright impression of me. They prefer Priscilla. Why?” I swallow another sip of the drink ignoring how light headed I am starting to feel.“Don Carlo, Priscilla's father, is strengthening his base.
Nikolai TwinSelena’s POVMy eyes widen in shock and the gruesome murder of father and mother flashes through my brain again.“You never mentioned anything about this while we were dating. You never stated anything of the sort in the contract.” My voice becomes louder slightly and I do not try to hold back.“Watch your tongue Sel. This is definitely not the place.” His jaw hardens and I can tell he’s annoyed. He's looking around too, through his masquerade mask— watching if someone heard me.But I don't care.“Why should I give a fuck about where we are when you lied to me about something so important!” I clench my fists in annoyance.“You came to me for help and I gave it to you in demand for payment. You agreed, you signed the signature yourself. I didn’t hold a trigger to your head when you signed it, did I?” He scans the environment with his eyes and I notice the subtle changes in him.“I signed those documents without a second thought because I knew you or so I thought.”“The dee
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
