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 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
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 POV Meeting Miriam Again Yapping? Does this seem like one of your tragedies comedy shows? That’s a life 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
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 Kieran’s UnderDogs“Young Master Kieran, it was not a—”“Bang!” Kieran fires a shot straight to his head.My heart drops to my stomach, but I keep a neutral gaze. 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 POVTraining SelenaMy hands fidget as I turn the doorknob. I know better than anyone housed in these walls what and who is behind these doors.“Young Master Kieran.”“Welcome, Ma’am.”I pause to watch her behavior. There’s a childish smile on her face. I don’t need her to have that.I call her to order immediately.“My brain is on a standstill. I’ll count it as a mistake this time.”I want to go soft on her, tell her to say it again gently, but I can’t. I can’t afford to show my weakness; I can’t afford to let people know that I have a soft spot for her, so I remain standing, waiting for her to figure out the right thing to say all by herself.“Isn’t it high time you all do what you are supposed to?” Her eyes trail the gun in my pocket.I have to tighten my jaw to stop myself from smiling.“Here. You’ll get yours soon in no time.” I hand her the gun.“You're still staring at me?” She cocks the gun and rotates it.“Good day, ma’am.” They immediately greet her after everything
Kieran's POV Making Trades With The Creeks "Give the answer to his questions." I crack my knuckles as I try hard to control the dexterity of my thoughts. I constantly remind myself of Selena behind me. It's the only reason why I've been able to get a hold of my temper and not crush one of their necks to teach the other a lesson. "The boss gave an instruction." I play with my knuckles because I know fully well that if I were to open my mouth to say anything to them, I would most likely bark my orders. "Ye, y-, yes sir." "If you were a little more restrained, you would not have carried out certain actions without thinking and gaining approval." "And you both know and understand the code of conduct of this organization, do you not?" I ask them as calmly as I can. "Yes sir." One of them gulps down spit. "Start talking or I will take you directly to the members of the Creeks themselves. That would appease them beyond the girl they now have." "No, Young Master K
Kieran's POVGo Find Jason Pierres "That's fine. The important thing is that she is improving." I try to console myself with words. I walk away from the room where Matilda kept Selena and walk into my room. "Pierres." I type it in my keyboard hoping to make my research as well.Nothing comes up. I relax on the chair not even surprised. Mother and father must have made sure to delete every trace of their evidence. It was stupid enough of me to think I would find something beneficial to me here. On the open website. If I should find something, it would not be worth it in the open sense. Finding her brother's information from this same internet is as good as searching different haystack to find one pin. You will never see it there. I have no other option but to wait for Justin. "Young Master Kieran?" Matilda knocks on my door. "Is everything okay?""Yes, I was just wondering...""Mmhmm.. about Justin." She glues her eyes to the ground. "You? Matilda? Was just wondering about J
Kieran's POV Investigate Selena’s Background "Jason Pierre." The name lingers in my tongue. I walk out from the house, my heart in my chest."There is no connection between the both of them Kieran." I whisper to myself. I would never be able to live with myself if I ever find out I cut Selena's chances of being a happy human. I drive to my base with speed. "Welcome Young Master Kieran." Matilda greets me. "Why are you here? Are you not supposed to be with Selena now?" I raise one of my eyebrows. I utter a silent prayer hoping she's not here for another problem. Right now, I am at my limit and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to take another one of their issues right now. "I left to come find you Young Master. You have not been home since you left.""I went to work and headed to mother and father. And why are you now checking up on me? Is that the new routine they asked you to have over me?""Young Master, I came here of my ow accord basically because I was worried and I wanted
Priscilla’s POVExposure“Then expose it to her. That will be the best way to break them apart. If Selena sees truly that Kieran killed here parents, he would never be able to get a hold of her.”“And we can have what we both want.” Michelle says, sipping wine from her glass.There’s always she says it that makes me become wary of her all over again.She was indeed more calculating than me. Why didn’t she expose the trick to Selena if she truly loved her as she claimed?“Don’t bother. I’ve tried over and over, I have searched for evidence and presented the little I was able to come up with, but she always had one stupid excuse to not let go. And so I gave up.”“We have to find a way to exploit this information. There has to be a way. The deeper the wound, the longer it takes to heal.”“I know somebody that can help us with this. Actually his desire to kill Kieran would help us achieve a lot of things.”“Who is that?”“Jason Pierre.”I’m very sure I have had nothing to eat or drink but
Kieran's POV Get The Boy Back "You know if I had known brother that you would get so offended by this single act, I would not have waited up until that bastard betrayed me to do this. I would have done it a long time ago." "Just for the satisfaction I have today. I really would have. Tsk. Too bad I am only just realizing this." He shakes his head in a mocking way. I fix my hands in my pockets because if I keep allowing it to hang outside, I will hang his neck in seconds. "Can you even hear yourself?" Father for the first time since all of this finally speaks. "Oh Father, I can. Anything to piss him off his pants." He smirks. "You separated an entire family despite doing nothing to us as against our mafia code of conducts and ethics. And rather than being remorseful, you stand there to say if you had the gift of time, you would go back and do it all over again, this time even earlier!" "Contrary to what you will be expecting, all thanks to your perfect son, I am not
Priscilla's POVMeeting Mitchell 2"Michelle, I've heard she a real pain in the ass and not in a good way kind of pain." I clench my fists. "If you want to get the lord of the Underworld to drop dead on his knees, you would have to tolerate her and a whole lot of other people that have worse behaviors than her.""Good Lord.""You have to start going now. The earlier you leave, the better. It reduces your chance of bumping into Nikolia until you're ready.""Fine then. I'll be on my way. I can't believe I already just got down and I'm going to be on the road again. How long is this going to continue?""For as long as it will take you to get Kieran and make your dreams come true. I will be returning to the mansion shortly, I suspect they would soon notice my absence and I do not assumptions and suspicions that would put me into trouble. Especially not with Kieran.""It's fine then. Since I'm heading that way, I can actually drop you off. Let's all go together.""Nope. We cannot afford
Priscilla's POV Meeting Mitchell "Argghhhhhhhh!" I stamp my feet on the ground with annoyance. "Bloody bastard! Why will he not just fall?" I stand outside the company and I stare at the building. How do I get him? I need someone that knows him, that has the ability to get him. The only person with that power seems to be Selena. It's no good. She's not a good fit for the mafia world but she's going to be able to tell my apology is faked. Or should I just give it a thought? And now she is in coma. Until I see his dead body by my feet, I will sincerely not have peace. I pick up my phone and I call my eyes and my ears as I like to call them. "I'm on my way back to the base. I spoke a little bit too much and out of turns and now I have him seeing us, well seeing me as a suspect. We need to put our heads together so this thing can work." "Report back to base immediately." As I take twists and turns on the road, my mind stays focused revolving on what will eventual
Kieran's POV Connecting Selena With Her Brother "You mean he has not set his eyes on his sister for a full year?" Mother seems extremely disappointed. "Yes." "His commissions. How does he get paid? How much percentage? Give me the full payment details." For some reason, I am just prompted to ask him about the boy's payment. And I do. I have a very bad feeling about this. He keeps quiet. "Nikolai Petrov? It is high time you start talking!" One of mother's eyebrows are raised. And her real age is now clearly telling on her face. "I never made any arrangements concerning finances with him. He just kind of does the work and I commend him. After all, if you think about it, he really knows nothing about it." He shrugs his shoulders casually. As if he has not committed a heinous crime. "I hope you can see your well beloved son. Right now, see how much of an irresponsible man he's grown to be?" "The one thing you have decided to do. You just have to do it with so m
Kieran's POVSelena’s Background "Is it even possible to hide something from you?" He says it calmly. His hands are slightly shaking. And he is pressing his toe into the ground. It's quite unfortunate Miriam only got to know Selena after the breakup. She would have been of great help. "But you do not seem to be completely innocent brother. Your minor acts makes me suspects you even more." "Whatever is giving you room to arouse suspicions, you sure need to eradicate it and eradicate it fast." "Your wife is the one giving me suspicions. Do you mean to tell me that Michelle knows nothing about her best friend? Is that a major sign for you not to have continued whatever it is that you both had between yourselves." My affairs till today have nothing to do with you. You are not the lord over me." "I may not be the lord over you but I am the king of whatever mafia organization you belong to, typically my commands still affect you. So literally,your affairs are in fact my conc
Nikolai's POV Meeting Nikolai Again"How was work today Nikolai?" Michelle asks taking off my coat. "Boring and calm as usual. It's nothing exciting like the activities of the underworld. No suspense. Everybody already knows how their day is supposed to end before it even ends." "I hate it there." "One day my husband,you will overthrow Kieran and become the King of the Underworld. Then, no one would have to give you things you do not wish to do." She massages my shoulders. "One very good day. That spot would be mine as I rightfully deserve." "Speaking of which, how far have you gone with him and his wife?" She hangs my jacket on the wall. "I just got intel that she tried to kill someone and she collapsed." "Such a weakling and she dared to get married to the Lord of the Underworld? A crazy brazen man like Kieran? Was she expecting cupcakes and rainbows?" "Luckily, the person you sent there was foolish enough to let their lives slip before Kieran came in. We woul
