Vaughn

Bryce was the one who dropped me off at the hall where the conference was held. Keiran was not coming and I felt that it was best that he didn't. Things were already so messed up as it was and I didn't want the news of my marriage to be released yet.

The conference hall is filled with different reporters and cameras light flashes at me as Bryce leads me into the main halls, clearing the reporters. I'm so thankful for Keiran's help. I'm so thankful that he decided to stay by my side. Because I currently have no one. Wren supported Dad and I have no idea why she would do that. She is a witness to what he did to us.

She is a victim of his cruelty. But she decided to stay by his side and not testify against him even after our mother died because of him. As Bruce follows me into the conference hall, my eyes fall on my father and Wren who are sitting on the high table and there is an empty seat, which is obviously for me.

“Is everything under control?” Bryce nods at my question.

  • Shadows Of Perfection: The Mafia’s Prey   45

    Keiran There is this satisfaction that you feel after watching your enemy go down. It feels so thrilling and that was exactly how I felt after watching what happened to Reynolds. I felt so good and I wanted the drama to keep going on. Well, it was just the tip of the iceberg. More are to come for him and he really needed to watch his back. This was what he would be experiencing in the hands of his son, mine was on the way. I push my cigarette into my mouth, and I blow out smoke from it as I close the laptop in front of me. Vaughn is already on his way home. Bryce is bringing him home. I know that he will still be feeling down each time he remembers the death of his mother, and I know that I'm not supposed to even care about him. But sometimes, I just can't help but care. The plan was to make him join hands with me to destroy his father and then betray him at the end still, but I don't find myself doing that, and it's so fucked up. Very fucked up. Vaughn soon arrives at the house a

    Vaughn The first thing I did after getting into my room was shower. And after showering, I lay straight on my bed. I would have gone downstairs to eat, but I wasn't even sure if I was hungry. I was not. I just needed some time to escape reality and everything that had been going on in my life. Mom dying has left a void in my heart and sometimes I just wanted to cry out my pain, but Keiran's voice kept ringing in my head. I had to be strong to fight this. I was now enemies with my father and I had to be strong. Not act like some pushover or people pleaser. As I lay on my bed, I picked up my phone to go through the numerous texts that people have been blowing my phone up with. It was one text after the other and most were from people that I had never seen or talked to before. One of the texts was from Zoey and I decided to check it out, as she was someone that I can consider close to me, but I frown immediately after reading the text. There is a reply that I'm very sure that I did no

    Vaughn The next morning, just after I get out of bed and freshen up. I get a call from Wren and a frown appears on my face as I stare at her name on the screen. I don't want to receive the call. I have nothing to say to her. She disappointed me and I don't feel the need to talk to her. We lost our mother to that cruel mam and she still went ahead to support him and I have no idea what dad has fed her with that makes her support him so much. I'm disappointed in her, but I don't find the heart to decline her calls. I have been declining her texts, but Wren is my sister and I have to talk to her to make sure she is fine. What if Dad beat her up and threatened her? I need to know that all is well with her and that she was actually not threatened to support that vile man.“I'm glad that you finally picked up your call.” She utters the moment I receive the call and I suck in a deep breath as I hold the phone to my ear. “I have been busy Wren. How are you, how have you been doing?” I ask

    Vaughn After my call with Wren, I go straight downstairs. I'm not going to work yet. My father owned the law firm, and I'm very sure that he would not want me in his workplace. So technically, right now I'm jobless. When I go downstairs, I meet Keiran making breakfast, and I decide to taunt him a not. With a smile on my face, I utter, “Are you making us breakfast?” I deadpan on the word breakfast and Keiran lifts his gaze to look at me. Displeased. Then he quickly looks away. “No. And act like you don't know me. It will be blissfully good for you.” He tells me and I roll my eyes. Keiran can be difficult at times. Sometimes, he acts so full of himself and we get along so well but he just decides to ruin things. “We are married, so there is no problem with you making me breakfast. Okay? You should treat your husband well.” I mumble under my breath, the smell of hot waffles hitting my nose and I feel my stomach rumble. I can't remember the last time that I had a good meal. I've hardl

    Keiran I hate seeing Vaughn hurt. That is something that I've come to understand and I'm doing all it takes to avoid him because I hate that feeling. The feeling of wanting to protect him and having that sickening feeling when I see Vaughn get hurt. He burned himself and he was not looking. I have no idea what he was so invested in to get him hurt this much. Thankfully, he does not argue with me again and follows me upstairs. I take him to my room and I retrieve the first aid box. “Don't get hurt again,” I warn him as I begin to apply ointment to the burn. It's not so serious and will be gone in a few days. “Why? It's my body and I decide if I want to get hurt or not.” I spare a hard glare at Vaughn but his gaze does not waver and he stares back at me. “I will not say this again, Vaughn. Refrain from getting hurt. If you are to get hurt, I will be the one to hurt you. Understand?” Vaughn scoffs and then he rolls his eyes. “Sometimes, you can be so impossible, Keiran. I can't beli

    Vaughn I decided to leave this house and to meet Kye today. Why? Because I needed to calm my head and I needed something to distract me from everything that has been going on in my life. Keiran does not stop me from leaving and while I'm leaving, I don't even see the asshole anywhere and I have no idea where he has gone. Keiran is another mystery that I don't even know if I can solve. Things are complicated with him and one of those things are the things that I feel. I drive straight to my house and when I arrive there, Kye’s car is already packed in front of the house. He's here. Kye is always early and sometimes I'm dying to see his face to know what he looks like. That is against the rules, but I will surely ask him one day. I want to know what he looks like. I step out of the car and I already have the comfons in my pocket. The lights are on and as I walk into the house, I see Kye sitting on the sofa. “No words have to be exchanged between us.” Those are his first words and I

    Keiran “And may the lord receive the soul of the departed.” The voice of the priest rings in my ears and my eyes dart to Vaughn who is sitting at the other side of the phone and he keeps cleaning his lower eyelids with a handkerchief. His sister is beside him, crying her eyes out. We are at his mother’s funeral. It’s finally holding and she will finally be placed to rest. Reynolds is here. He threw a fit and insisted that he had to attend his wife’s funeral. The same wife that he killed? He pushed her to her death. A lot of people are in attendance and that includes some of the reputable lawyers and workers from Vaughn's law firm. They all reek of the law and it makes me roll my eyes all the time. It feels like I’m the only tainted one in the hall. The funeral is finalized and I remain sitting as I watch Vaughn and Wren pay their last rites to their mother. I don’t go near him as he pleaded with me not to. He does not want to out that he is gay yet or that he is married. I still do

    Vaughn I just stand as I watch the cars of the guests drive away. We just left the cemetery about two hours ago and I’ve just been staring into outer space. It’s official, I will never see my mother’s face again. I will no longer be able to feel her touch again. She’s gone for good and I can’t even cry. It feels like my eyes are dried from the tears. “Thank you for coming,” Wren says to the next person who walks past us and I just nod at him. I don’t say anything, I’ve not spoken a word to anyone since they finalized the funeral. Maybe I’m still trying to come to terms with some things and accept my fate that I will never see Mom again. I don’t know where my bastard of a father is. I don’t want to see him or I may actually use his stupid walking stick to hit him and watch him bleed to death. I keep standing for one more hour and after all the crowds have dispersed I begin to look around for Keiran. I know that he is around somewhere. When I don’t see him, I send a text to ask him w

    Keiran Vaughn is angry and he just walks away. He is angry because he thinks that I stood listening to his thoughts. What will he do when he discovers that I heard everything? My car was right behind his when he returned and I actually made sure that he did not notice me. I came into the house 10 minutes after he did and Vaughn was so lost in his thoughts and I heard everything that he was talking about. He is already suspecting me. I expected that. I've known that sooner or later, Vaughn will begin to suspect the similarities and he is already doing that. I will have to do something to dispel the suspicions. I'm not ready to start explaining to myself why I lied and did what I did. So I have to look for a way to convince him that I'm not Kye. I can just block him and stop meeting permanently. But I will not do that. I will meet with him and do something that will make him believe that we are different people. “Vaughn,” I call his name, following him upstairs. But he already bange

    Vaughn It's hard to believe that my father actually knew that I was gay and he had kept quiet about it. I don't know how he found out about it and I did not want to stay around to question him either on how he did so. I knew my father too well and telling me that was just another manipulation plan of his. He was trying to get into my head by sparking me up and the sudden news of me being gay would have been the perfect news. Too bad that it is not working this time. To hell with him. I'm done pleasing people. I arrive home and I don't see Keiran's car packed. He has different cars but the one he drove this morning is not in the parking lot and that only means that he is not back yet. I go into the house and I throw myself tiredly on the couch. I'm currently confused right now and it is all about Keiran and Kye. I like Keiran. I have come to accept that I like him and we now fuck on the bed. I have spent three consecutive days in his room now. Keiran has changed and is not like the o

    Vaughn “Are you returning to work?” Carlos asks, but I shake my head as I walk into the office. Everyone pauses when they see me, but I don't say anything to them as I walk straight to my table to get my things. “No. I came to get my things.” I have officially retired as a lawyer in this firm, and I'm bored at home, so I came to pack my things. After I leave, I won't be coming back again. “It's really said that you will stop working here. Your presence will greatly be missed,” Carlos tells me. Honestly, I will miss them as well. But it is what it is. I just have to go. Keiran stepped out to go somewhere, and I was alone at home, so I came here. “I will miss you guys over here as well. But I have no control over things, and don't worry; I will call from time to time.” He nods at me and then assists me in packing my things in a box. After I have packed everything, I carry the box, and Carlos wants to follow me outside, but he gets a call from his supervisor and has to leave. These

    Keiran Vaughn and I just finished having our first sex since we got married, and I just finished showering when my phone on the bed vibrates. I actually get two messages. One is from Gerald, the man I went to pay a little visit today, and the other one is from Lone Wolf. I answer Gerald’s message first as I actually put him up to do something meaningful. ‘It’s all done, Mr Wallace.’ I read his text and a small smile appears on my lips. I'm just working hard and seeing to it that I put Reynolds in his place. That is something that I have to do, and Gerald is a lawyer who knows something about the cancer issue that Reynolds was involved in. I'm looking for a way to trap him as I want to get him arrested. ‘I appreciate your help, Gerald. Get all the evidence that you can gather against him and send everything about it. Make sure to send the drive as well.’ I still need the flash drive that contains all of his ugly dealings. I'm not a saint, but I don't commit evil like a fool without

    KeiranNothing, nothing is fucking holding me back. Vaughn is right with his questions, and there is nothing holding me back from fucking him hard. I do fuck him, but we are anonymous, and why do I feel that Vaughn is indirectly cheating on me, even if it’s with him? The fact that he is actually hiding a huge secret and is seeing a man after I asked him not to go near another man is kind of alarming, but I am also hiding a secret from him, so I don’t ask too much about it.I close the fucking space between us, and the moment I do that, I crash my lips on Vaughn; he kisses me back the moment I kiss him, and our kiss suddenly turns hard and rough. I moan and grunt as I push my tongue into his mouth, kissing him hard as I play with and nibble with his lower lips from time to time. Vaughn wraps his hands around my neck, and we both deepen the kiss. His mouth is warm and so fucking tasty that I don’t want to get off him. I want to keep kissing him forever, if that is possible. Vaughn moan

    Vaughn I had just finished making lunch for Keiran and packed everything up when I got a call. It was from Wren. Finally, she was calling me. She ignored me for days. I don’t waste any time before I pick up the call, but her following words shock me. “You have to be the biggest cheat, Vaughn. You are worse than our father.” she fires at me, and I blink in confusion, wondering if I heard her words well. I did. She just insulted me. “Wren—“ I begin, but she Interrupts me sharply. “Don’t even think of calling my name from that filthy mouth of yours. I just feel like strangling the life out of you, Vaughn. How could you do that? I’m your sister, but you betrayed me. How could you?” I’m shocked and keep stuttering as I feel like I am at a loss for words. When and how did I betray her? I don’t remember doing anything that actually betrayed her. I just told her that I could not do what she had asked. “You promised me.” “And I’m not Keiran. I’m not Keiran, and I cannot force you on him.

    Keiran I had not stopped smiling since I read Vaughn’s text. I can't stop smiling. He has a crush on me? That's so…..unbelievable. I can't believe that he does and that is very good news. Vaughn liking me should be one of the best news that I have heard all my life. “Boss, is everything alright? You have been smiling and staring at your phone?” Bryce's voice draws me out of my trail of thoughts and I lift my head as I scowl at him. He is quick to look away from me. He better does or I will chop off his head. Looking up, I notice that we have arrived at our destination. I'm not attending a meeting, but a function and I'm not spending more than 20 minutes here before I will then head to one of my warehouses. “Wait here. I will go in. I will be out in twenty minutes.” I tell Bryce who nods and I take a brief look at my watch. It is going to be a short meeting and a few people are going to be present and some of them are lawyers. That is the main reason that I have come here. I have co

    Vaughn “You said that you were going to stay today.” There is a pout on my face as I appear in front of Keiran who just stepped out of his room. He is dressed in a black suit and his hair is styled backward. His cologne fills my nose and I'm tempted to kiss him but I hold myself back. “Duty calls, Vaughn. I really have to run along now.” He tells me and I slowly nod my head. The call that he got seemed serious. Very serious, seeing that he went straight to his room to freshen up just so he could get ready to leave. He must have forgotten that he had something to take care of seeing the way he reacted.“Okay then. I will see you later.” He only nods at me and I think that he is going to walk away, but I stiffen when he plants a quick kiss on my lips. It leaves me stunned and when I regain my senses, I realize that the kiss is simply not enough and Keiran is already walking away. I look up at him and he winks at me before he goes down the stairs. I remain standing in one spot until I'

    Vaughn Keiran is strange. His actions are strange and I don’t understand his ways or what is going on in his head. He has changed. A lot. He no longer yells and has been so patient in teaching me how to cook. Three days have passed since what happened in the kitchen and we have had two cooking lessons as he was busy on one of the days. Today he is not home and actually left early and the most surprising thing is that Keiran and I slept on the same bed last night. I was shocked when he asked me to join him and I did. We were in each other's arms and I enjoyed every second of lying in his arms and did not want to get out of bed. But Keiran got an urgent call and he had to leave in a hurry. I just finished making lunch in case he decided to return home early when my phone rings. I smile when I see that it’s Wren. I have not actually heard from her in a while and I have missed my sister. “Hey, Wren,” I say with a smile on my face as I head upstairs, going to my room. “Vaughn, how are
