Selena’s POVDanielThe temperature in the room keeps dropping and I’m trying hard not to chatter. I’m freezing and I know fully well I shouldn’t. But I’m not one of their mafia girls.Right now, I even want to give Daniel a serious beating. There’s something about him, his face looks oddly familiar. I’m trying hard to match where I last saw him in my head and nothing seems to come to my mind but I am beyond sure that somewhere somehow I have seen this face before now. This feeling was beyond just a coincidence.“It was an error on my path, I apologize to Young Master Kieran.” He apologizes but there’s a different emotion in his eyes, more like defiance. Like he would never accept Kieran as his master.“This is quite interesting. Here is a question I do jot ask frequently, is there anything I or any member of my gang has offended you with?” He stiffens and he frowns.I furrow my eyebrows. If he was having a blue day because of someone, why didn’t he just tell Kieran? Or was Kieran har
The Spy; Priscilla’s AgentsKieran’s POVI want to leave when it occurs to me, for him to have such access to this place without anyone tracing him or suspecting him as a spy.It definitely means he is a sly spy and he has to be working with someone that understands how we operate.Nikolai would not do such a stupid thing as to give out such vital information, he may be stupid and undeserving to be my brother, but he’s not a dumbass.My mind falls on two people; Selena and Priscilla. Selena has only recently been to this place but there’s no telling if she did this, maybe to be able to get away from me with Junior using this as a successor distraction. But she has no idea about our mode of operations.Which narrows my option to only one person.“Priscilla.” Her name comes out of my lips with extreme annoyance. If I had known she would be such a pain in the ass, I would have killed her the same day I sent her father out of Earth.I left her alive just so she could feel the pain and rel
Selena’s POVGoing Back To The CreeksI stand there silently watching as countless pins fall out. I want to ask more questions, but not in front of these people. I will only be reducing the respect they should have for me as Kieran’s wife.“Let’s get back to business.” Kieran massages his temples.I never really thought being a mafia Lord could be this stressful. He has been up and doing. The title really does not seem so lucrative.The constant attacks on his family members, the people he knows—was it really worth it for all of this? I note in my head to ask Al all of these questions when we eventually get home.We proceed downstairs with the other one. He is still sweating, and I’m sure he suspects Kieran is going to take his life any time soon.His eyes continuously roam around the whole place until we get down.“Young Master Kieran.” She bows a little.“Hmm.”The rest of the members all bow their heads silently whenever Kieran’s eyes sweep their area.“First of all, I have to comm
Kieran’s POVExposing Priscilla“Ok, sir.” George presses a button on the remote, leading us to share screens.“Here.” He goes to the most recent file and clicks on it.Everything replays afresh.“You have McCollins?” He sounds shocked.“Are you feigning surprise, or do you really not know that he is here with me?” I scrunch my brows in confusion.“It seems we are not the only ones they’re intending to play this game with.”“Who the hell is this ‘they’? You all seem to be threatening me. Is this some sort of joke?” He bangs his hand hard on the wall.“Approaching the issue is not going to help any of us solve anything, will it?” I ask him gently. My brain is already running calculations. Priscilla, on her own, should in no way be this calculative and manipulative unless there is another force behind her.One cunning enough to jam heads together.“And why should I go ahead and solve anything with you? How am I sure you are not part of the whole game?”“Just to be clear, Jayden, I made

Kieran's POV Fishing Out The Suspect They all walk back and leave me there. I sit in silence as I watch him wait for his men to bring him. "Boss." One of his men behind him steps up to him. "Just get it already." He waves two of his fingers frantically. Soon, four of his men bring in the body, loaded. "I hope we remain as business allies and you see no reason to come after me, Kieran." He draws closer to the screen. "I also hope the same, too, Jordan. It was nice carrying out this particular deal with you." I smile lazily. He turns off the television. I remain in my chair calmly as I wait for the tension to build. "It is one thing for me, as the boss, to be absent minded, and it's another thing for you to lower your guard to the extent that a stranger comes in between all of you, and not one of you could identify that he was not one of us. You all failed to know yourselves because if you did, you should have noticed something strange about him." "Like I always say
Miriam And Selena I stay rooted to the floor, going over my history again and again. "Selena." Miriam's croaked voice calls me. "And so what if I do not belong to the class of girls he likes? Does that give him the right to treat me like this?" My throat burns with tears. "Selena." "Why does he make me feel inhumane? Why does he do all of this? He says he wants to train me, and the next thing, he's cold again. I hate it!" I grit my teeth in annoyance. "Selena." "I would literally risk my life rather than be in such an environment. This feels worse than being close to death." "You signed a contract regarding the marriage, Selena." "And what has that got to do with any of this?" I'm panting. "If he loved you as much as you love him now, do you think he would have suggested a contracted marriage? He wants nothing to do with you. You make it look like you are the one forcing yourself on him. Stop doing this to yourself and let it go, If you ask me, I believe he has
Selena's POVKilling SomeoneI toss and turn on the bed unable to get a good sleep. This does not usually happen. Most times, I am able to sleep comfortably well and fine. I sit up on the bed, frustration gripping me. I stretch my hands to the drawer that was placed in the room for me to get water. The surface is completely smooth. It has nothing on it. Grudgingly I stand up from the bed. I drag my feet to the kitchen. By the fridge, I see the AK47 always loaded in Kieran's pocket. I am sure he forgot it here. I pick it and I swirl it around as I study the components of the gun. I lift my leg to walk away from the kitchen to get the gun to him. When I remember all of the words he said to me yesterday. He's most likely going to find a way to accuse me of just finding a way to search for him so I just let it be. I pick the water from the fridge and I walk upstairs quietly. I am lost admiring the beauty of the house in darkness when my ears pick up a screeching sound. My
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
