DAVIAN'S POV"Congratulations, brother. Who knew you would finally tie the knot" My best friend, Ricardo, clasped my shoulder in a firm grip as his lips stretched in a mocking smirk.Ricardo and I have been friends longer than I can remember. We grew up globes alert but our families had close ties with each other which forced us to be in each other's spaces. With the world we lived in, close friends were rare but we would take a bullet for the other.Ricardo was also unaware that this was an arranged marriage and it wasn't because I couldn't trust him to keep my secret but he wouldn't let me hear the end of it when he found out which was why I didn't send him an invitation but the bastard knew everything."Shut the fuck up bastard and wipe that sarcastic smirk off your face. You look like a smug bastard" I hissed and his grin widened. "I must have saved a country in my previous life because Davian Grey just called me a bastard twice" He mocked and I shook my head. He was impossible.

AUTHOR'S POV.This had to be a joke. A fucking nightmare. Because there was no way she was seeing Maliah wrapped in Davian's arms in a custom-made wedding dress and ring glistening under the light.Blair’s hands trembled by her side, unable to form into fists as her vision became blurry but not with tears. With rage and fear. Maliah was back like her mother feared. She dragged her hands through her hair, messing it up and gripping the strands tightly until it felt like they were going to rip from her head. She had to think. No. She didn't need to think about shit. This was a dream and she was going to wake up soon. There was no way Maliah appeared from thin air and got married to the man she desperately wanted for herself. The wedding itself looked like something out of a fantasy. The same fantasy land she lived in when she bragged endlessly while she was younger about the very same wedding showing on the television screen but this one was better and smelt like filthy wealth.

I could feel Davian’s gaze on my back as we finally entered the apartment we would be staying here in the Maldives for the duration of our so-called honeymoon.The frown on my face hadn't disappeared since we boarded the private plane and it wasn't going anywhere soon. We had kept to ourselves during the entire flight and the atmosphere had been tense.I didn't want to be here, in another country alone with him but I needed to see what it was he had here that I would be interested in as he bragged at the wedding venue.“I need a drink” I announced immediately. I dropped my bag and myself on the white couch and let out a relieved sigh as I kicked the heels off my feet.We didn't know who managed to leak out details but the paps had been waiting for us at the airport. Luckily, we used a private entrance and hangar so we dealt with none of them but it was still unnerving how easily they could get our details.Davian said nothing but shrugged off his jacket before heading for the stocked

I was in a daze for the first few seconds, eyes drifting between his lips that were so close to mine and his eyes that no longer felt as cold as the first day I met him. Eyes that held nothing but pure and unfiltered lust. I thought I hated the man but here I was helpless against him even without a single finger of his on my skin.“Did you hear me kitten?” Davian whispered again, eyes amused under the pleasure I could see in them.“Huh?” I asked stupidly, trying to shake off the daze I felt. Being this close to him felt like drugs. I felt high on his presence alone just like that unspoken night. Who was I deceiving? I knew I was always attracted to Davian under the layers of anger I felt. It was how it was with us.“I said I am going to fuck you tonight. It’s our wedding night and I intend to consume our marriage” He whispered again, his voice thick with want but that snapped me out of my daze, sending me flying to the other end of the room.“what?… No, that was not the deal” I stum

I had been awake for a few minutes but kept as still as I could. Davian's arms lay wrapped around me. The impact of last night weighed on my mind like a heavy rock.We were cuddling. My back to his chest, his hands holding me tightly and our legs interwoven. His body provided the perfect amount of heat curled against mine.I opened my eyes again and met the time on the clock. It was past seven but it felt like it was ten and I had been awake for more than just a few minutes.My body still tingled. Davian had fucked me two times at odd hours and I hadn't protested when he slipped into my willing pussy. I had claimed to hate him, to not let him touch me again but my words had turned to dust the moment he kissed me. His kisses were the source of my problems. They had the ability to make me compliant and I hated it.I needed to leave before he woke up. I didn't want to deal with his smugness.I gently lifted his hands off my waist and tried to shuffle off the bed when an arm grabbed me a

I told myself there was no room for distractions. I had built up solid walls to fight against whatever was going to cause a delay in my plans. Or so I thought.I was so certain that the revenge was my only goal and there was going to be no space for weakness or emotions but Davian was crumbling those walls with just a flick of his fingers.It wasn't supposed to be like this. The attraction I fostered years ago wasn't supposed to be so fresh in my head, fearing upon his touches and making me feel hazy with lust anytime he kissed me.There had been a moment yesterday when I thought it would be over once I fucked him out of my system but it was all a lie. sex with him had unlocked a new prospect I didn't know lingered after a night of blazing passion.I was terrified. I was barely married for two days and my heart kept beating anytime he looked at me. My world was tipping anytime he pulled me to his chest so he could wrap his hands around me possessively.Davian had become a stranger bar

It was never supposed to be this easy. It's been a week of endless PDAs and gifts. The lines were getting blurred to the point that I didn't know where it started anymore. It was almost as if I was on a real honeymoon with the amount of attention and gifts my husband was giving me.I rolled over to my side and my eyes fell on Davian's sleeping form. How lucky he was to be able to sleep so easily while I pondered about the meaning of his past actions.I was exhausted because if we weren't having sex, we were on a date or shopping. The amount of unopened shopping bags in the guest room was enough to spend a small store but when Davian woke up, he would request for another outing. He looked so peaceful as he slept. The permanent frowns on his face disappeared, proving me wrong that they weren't a permanent fixture. My breath hitched as his hand darted out and pulled me to his chest before it wrapped around my waist. I shivered as his fingers grazed my spine on my naked back.The satisf

I was irritated. I was so close to having my brains eaten out when Davian’s work phone went off. I tried to convince him to ignore it but he wouldn't. I had no choice but to unlatch my legs from around him so he could answer the call while I got dressed begrudgingly. Looking at how mad he was now, I wished I hadn’t let him go because there was no way we would go back to our activities when he was angry.My eyes followed Davian as he went off on the phone while pacing the room angrily. I felt bad for whoever was on the other end of the line because I never wanted to be at the receiving end of that.From the little snippets of the conversation that I’d heard, it seemed his Vice messed up a very important deal that they'd been spending months preparing for and I felt pity for the guy and the same time relief because if he was here, I wouldn't put it past Davian to wrap his hands around his throat and kill him."Fuck, Arlo. How is it possible to mess up this badly? I warned you to keep y

REVENGE and TEMPTATIONS Epilogue
Three Years Later:I checked my appearance for the nth time. I was nervous, but I was also excited because today was my baby's first recital.I can’t believe three years have passed since everything happened. My life has been so happy. I can’t ever remember it’s signing my life when I felt this much peace for such a long time.I had nothing to worry about; I was surrounded by people who loved me and supported me. It was insane that I had a life that was so perfect.My phone began ringing, and he picked it up from the table in front of me."Obaasan,” I cried out happily as soon as he answered the call. “I was just going to call you.” I said it with a smile in my voice.“I’m sure you were,” she teased. Ever since I promised to call her one day and I forgot to do so, she never believed me. I told her I wanted to call her.“I promise. I was going to call you because I wanted to talk to you before we left the house,” I said with a pout.“You haven’t left yet?” She questioned me with an acc

“I’ll wait for you by the car." Divine pressed the kiss to my forehead and walked back to the car while I made my way into the cemetery.I haven’t been here since dad was buried, and it was weird, to say the least. I missed him a lot, and I was sorry that I had never visited since the six years he had been here.Maybe I was ashamed because of the hate I felt towards him in the four years that followed his death.It didn’t take long for me to reach this spot where he was buried. Words could not describe the emotions that were flowing through me as I placed the flower on the grave.“Hi dad,” I whispered, and I took a seat on the grass beside his grave. Thankfully, Shiro had paid someone to always make sure that the grave was always clean and well taken care of, so there were no overgrown grasses or thorns on the bed.“I’m sorry I haven’t visited in a very long time. I was very angry because of the misunderstanding caused by Sabrina. I’m sure you must have been lonely.” I’m also cute, wh

I groaned as my eyes opened groggily. The first thing I noticed was that I was no longer in the hospital room.I lurched forward in shock, but my body was dragged back with a force that caused me to look down. I was tied to a chair, and the movement has caused pain to travel up my healing hand.Blood trickled down the bandaged hand, meaning I must have hurt it while trying to move. I winced as the pain from the hand increased.“Can I get a fucking break? I was just shot and now kidnapped.” I cursed and looked to the ceiling, but there was nothing to look at.The roof was falling, and I doubt it would hold if a storm were to happen.“And an abandoned warehouse too,” I scoffed when I took in my surroundings. Judging from the look of this place, I’m sure no one has been here in years.“Aren’t you going to come out, Sabrina?” I called when no one would step forward or speak to me.I wasn’t stupid. I could feel eyes on me, so I knew she and whoever helped her bring me here were in the shad

I could hear the loud beeping, but my eyes wouldn’t open, so I couldn't see where I was. One thing was certain, though. I wasn’t in bed with Davian, as the bed was too hard and the sheets over me weren’t familiar.“Maliah?” I heard Davian whisper. It sounded like he was so close yet so far, and I tried to pry my eyes open, but it wouldn’t budge.“Are you awake? Can you hear me?” He asked again, but this time his voice was more desperate.I was also desperate to open my eyes so I could see the family grey eyes I fell in love with, but my body seemed to have forgotten how to function.“Can you twitch your hands for me, love, if you can hear me? Please, baby,” he pleaded, and I tried my best to move any part of my body.I hated that tone on him. I didn’t like how desperate and almost close to tears he was. My brain wasn’t functioning well, and I was having a hard time figuring out why I was here, unable to open my eyes or move, or even what had happened earlier.“She moved her fingers,”

The pain never came as I closed my eyes and waited for it. What came instead was Blair’s cry of pain, and I heard the gun clatter to the ground.I opened my eyes, and a strangled gasp escaped me when I saw the familiar custom-made tanto embedded in her hand, which had been holding the gun earlier.Blair’s other hand held the hand that was now bleeding profusely as she cried out in pain.My eyes snapped to the door to find my Oniichan standing there with a glare in his eyes and the sheath of his tanto in his hands.“What the fuck?” Blair screamed in pain.Shiro walked over to me and began to search for any signs of injuries.“I’m fine, Oniichan. Nothing happened. You came on time,” I muttered shakily.We looked behind me to see the spot where the bullet had been embedded.“We need to get that out of her hand before she loses too much blood and call the police too,” I told him.I winced as I looked at Blair again. The floor now had her blood as she cried.“What? Are you crazy?” Shiro hi

I stilled at the question, and a cold crept up my spine. My head snapped to the back, and I gasped in fear to see Blair at my back. How did she get in?I said nothing to her at first. I wasn’t going to confront her in front of my babies, so I turned back to them with the most genuine smile I could muster.“Mummy, who is she? Is she a bad person?” Keita asked, his brows in a frown as he kept watching her from the end of the screen.“Keita, why don’t you keep your siblings company? I have to attend to my guest, and I’ll call you back as soon as I finish here, okay? Maybe Dad will be back by then, and you can talk to him too. Is that a good deal?” I proposed, knowing they might protest a bit.“Okay?” He answered with uncertainty, still not taking his eyes off Blair. “Will you be fine, Mom?” He asked again, and I nodded.“Of course, I’ll be fine. I know her,” I said, but they looked like they didn’t believe me. Just like the twins, though, Little Ro had a curious expression on his face as

The impact of the news release was crazy. The effect was bigger than we expected, and the fans were angry. I was actually scared of the uproar the revelation of who Blair really was caused, and I was somehow worried when I saw articles of people demanding her head.“The comments are crazy, Maliah. This is bigger than we expected.” Ria said it with surprise as she scrolled through the comment section.“I know, right? It’s almost as if a saint got disgraced. I didn’t know she had this big of a fan base, and now they’ve turned on her,” I said with worry, and I glanced at the tab in my hand as well.I was also going through the comment sections, and while I was satisfied with the result, it was still alarming at how quickly people turned against others.“Apart from the comments tearing her apart, what do we have? Remember, she shouldn’t be able to recover from this.” I reminded Ria and logged out of the tab before I started gaining sympathy for Blair because of the violent threats her for

A wide grin appeared on my face when I saw Davian climb down from the private jet. He had insisted that he would meet me at home, but I was too eager to see him. I missed him like crazy."I told you not to come," he said with a roll of his eyes as he handed the bag he was holding to the nearest bodyguard, but he had a pleased grin on his face."I missed you," I muttered before I flung myself into his waiting arms. "It felt like you were gone forever," I mumbled into his neck.Davian laughed, but his hands tightened around my waist, and he pulled me closer. I felt his lips leave kisses on my hair and the side of my head."I missed you more, kitten. Maybe we should go together next time?" He offered, and I nodded eagerly.I leaned back to kiss him just as eagerly as I felt, and he groaned against my mouth and deepened the kiss."At least wait until you are home," Kurt mused. I had almost forgotten that he had gone with Davian.Harvey and Isa chose to stay home and wait for Kurt since I

“I still can't believe that Nova was the cause of everything. You can never fully trust anyone,” Harvey said with a shake of her head and disdain in her lips.“I'll be proving her right if I say that after everything you've done for her, but she was cruel and ungrateful to do that. She had a gem of a friend in you,” Isa added."Honestly,” I said with a sigh, “I just want to forget she existed. It's going to be hard, but I don't want to think about or talk about her. I'm just happy that we discovered everything before she did more damage.” Davian and Kurt left for Vegas for a business expo, so I decided to stay with Isa and Harvey for the two days they would be gone since I didn't want to be home alone. “You've been through a lot, child. Whatever it is that's going on, I hope you don't get hurt and keep yourself safe at all times." Isa reached out to grasp my hands and gave them a little squeeze."Thank you, Isa. I promise I won't let harm come to Ronan again because of what I'm doi
