THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 18: THE OTHER ME TOOK MY MAN; THE CHEF WANTS ME DEAD!
DANIEL'S POVAs I step out of the hotel, my mind is racing. I pull out my phone and call some of my most trusted men. "Meet me at Marcus's house now," I say, my voice sharp and urgent. I don’t have time for delays. Something doesn’t feel right, and I need to get there as soon as possible.The ride feels longer than usual. My grip tightens on the steering wheel as I speed through the streets, ignoring the usual traffic rules. When I finally arrive at Marcus's house, my stomach drops. The sight before me makes my heart pound even faster. Several of my men, the ones I had secretly assigned to protect Marcus, are lying lifeless on the ground. Their blood stains the concrete, their bodies twisted in unnatural positions. The Dogs of Hell have killed them. My chest tightens with anger and fear. If they got this far, then Marcus could be in danger.My men, the ones I called, are already there when I arrive. They stand alert, weapons ready, scanning the area for any further threats. I barely a

LIAM'S POVI left the hotel as soon as my conversation with Deception ended. I felt Daniel was capable enough to handle Marcus and whatever situation he was in at that moment. There was no reason for me to stay. I picked up the briefcase filled with money and stepped out of the room.Just as I reached the reception area, Nina, the receptionist, spoke up. "You're already leaving, boss?"I turned to look at her. "Yeah, I have something to take care of," I replied."I can tell the girls to take care of it for you," she offered.Her words shocked me. My eyebrows lifted slightly as I processed what she had just said. "So Daniel has ladies he controls too?" I thought to myself. It was unsettling, yet at the same time, not surprising. Still, I kept my face neutral."Don't worry about that," I said smoothly before stepping out of the building.Luck was on my side— I spotted a cab immediately. Without hesitation, I got in and gave the driver the address of my destination. The car zoomed off, a

DANIEL'S POVAll through the night, I couldn’t sleep. My mind was restless, my body tense with anger. It wasn’t just frustration; it was rage boiling inside me, threatening to explode. The thought of the other me— Liam— walking freely with my man— Marcus, pretending to be me, made my blood burn. He wasn’t just a problem; he was a threat to everything I had built. And the worst part? It wasn’t that I lacked the resources to find both Liam and Marcus. No, I could do that easily. But if I did, my men would start asking questions. Questions I didn’t want to answer. Questions that could shatter the control I had over them. The last thing I needed was my men discovering that someone who looked exactly like me was roaming the city, acting like he owned it.I sat in my chair, smoking, trying to calm my nerves when my phone rang. The screen lit up, displaying a name I didn’t expect— Marcus. A smirk tugged at my lips as I picked up the call. “Hello, dear,” I greeted, my voice smooth, expecting

DANIEL'S POVIt has been two days now, and Marcus is still unconscious in the hospital. I sit beside him, watching his chest rise and fall, waiting for any sign that he will wake up. The doctor said it was a miracle he survived the gunshot, but I am starting to wonder if miracles come with a price. I have not left his side since the moment he was brought in, my mind filled with worry and anger. I can’t stand the thought of losing him.Gideon. That bastard who shot him. I sent my men after him, but they failed. Gideon killed them without hesitation. And now, in just two days, he has taken some of my territory, stolen most of my consumers. He’s making a statement, trying to show me that he’s in control. Scott has come to the hospital multiple times, trying to convince me to get back on the streets and fight back, but I can't think about anything else until Marcus wakes up. Nothing else matters right now.And then there’s Laim. The reason all of this happened. I made him a promise— next

MARCUS'S POVThey say love is blind. I never believed it— until now. I just experienced it, and it nearly got me killed. Twice.I still can’t believe I ever dated Daniel. The man was charming, sweet, and always made me feel like I was the only one in the world. He had this way of looking at me, like I was his entire universe, and in those moments, I believed him. I believed every word, every smile, every touch. But I should’ve looked past the charm. I should’ve paid attention to the signs. He’s not just anyone. He’s the most feared criminal lord in New York. Ruthless. Powerful. And that alone should’ve been a big, bright red flag. But no. I was in too deep to see clearly, drowning in emotions I thought were love but might’ve been something else entirely.I remember what happened at the hotel like it was yesterday. That night haunts me every time I close my eyes. It’s not just a memory; it’s a ghost that refuses to leave. I saw two Daniels standing in front of me. Two. Not one. Two of

LIAM'S POVThe same way Marcus in my world was killed was the exact same way Marcus in this world was almost killed. The spot where the bullet hit was identical. And the question that haunted me was— why did the Marcus in my world die, but the one here survived? This only confirmed what Deception had said. Mistake had something to do with Marcus’s death.This morning, while I was at the hotel I had booked, I turned on the news. My heart pounded as I saw the headline flash across the screen."Breaking news: Marcus, the man who was shot six days ago, has been discharged from the hospital."I stared at the screen, my breath catching in my throat. He was alive. He had survived. Relief washed over me, and I found myself smiling. This was my second chance.But I knew I had to be careful. Daniel had warned me, his voice still echoing in my mind."I’m going to kill you the next time I set my eyes on you."Those words sent a shiver down my spine. He wasn’t bluffing. Daniel was dangerous. That

LIAM'S POV The loud bang of a gunshot shattered the night. The echo rang in my ears, forcing my body to still. Daniel and I had been locked in a furious struggle, but the sound forced us apart. My heart pounded as I turned my head toward the source of the shot. There, standing in the doorway of his house, was Marcus. The barrel of his gun was still smoking, the bullet lodged somewhere in the roofing above us. His chest rose and fell heavily, his expression dark and unreadable. “Can you both stop this nonsense?!” Marcus shouted, his voice raw with frustration. I pushed myself up from the ground, my breath coming in short gasps. My hands were bruised from the fight. Across from me, Daniel stood as well, brushing dirt from his clothes like he was trying to rid himself of me entirely. But the fire in his eyes remained. He wasn’t done. “Marcus, he is not meant to be here,” Daniel said, his voice sharp, filled with venom. “He’s an enemy to this world.” I held my breath, waiting for M

ADRIAN'S POVCheating has always been a part of me— something I can’t seem to let go of, no matter how hard I try. Even when I was with Marcus, I promised myself it would be different. I told myself I wouldn’t mess things up. But it wasn’t that easy. It’s not that I don’t love Marcus. I do. He’s the only one who ever made me feel seen. But sometimes I think maybe I was just made wrong— like cheating is something built into me, something I can't erase.Ever since Gideon kicked me out of the Dogs of Hell's Kitchen gang, I’ve been trying my best to complete the task he gave me. It’s the only way I’ll ever be accepted back. And that task? Kill Daniel.Kill Daniel. As if it’s just that simple.It was an impossible task— until that same night. That night everything changed.I was alone in my apartment, thinking about Marcus, thinking about the gang, when something… strange happened. Something that wasn’t human appeared before me. He called himself Mistake. No face I could fully remember, ju

THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 34: PERFECT HEADSHOT
MARCUS'S POVI wasn’t exactly kept like a prisoner in the Dogs of Hell’s Den. Not really. And if I’m being honest, it’s because of Adrian. Daniel almost had me killed. I mean, I could feel death brushing up against me that day. But somehow, luck was on my side. I don’t know how, but it was. Adrian came through when I needed it the most Within the Dog's of Hell's Empire.Adrian’s attack on Daniel’s mansion looked stupid to everyone. Reckless, wild, unplanned. It was the kind of move only a man with nothing to lose would try. But even though it made no sense, it proved one thing— Adrian had guts. Real guts. And boldness like that is rare. He managed to take out about fifteen of Daniel’s men. Fifteen. That’s not just impressive. That’s legendary.Even Gideon, the heartless man he is, was impressed. He didn’t say much about it, but I saw it in his actions. He personally made sure Adrian got the best medical treatment. Bandaged him up like he was royalty. In Hell's kitchen, respect isn’t h
THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 33: HELL WITH ME
LIAM'S POV They say when your enemy gives you a gift, think twice. But when Daniel handed me that necklace, I didn't flinch. "Let's kill Gideon tonight," I said, gripping the chain tightly.Daniel looked at me, uncertain. "Not when my magic is unstable," he said."Lift me up with your mind then," I challenged. He hesitated. I could see the fear in his eyes. But he did it. He raised his hand slightly and I felt my body lift off the ground. It worked."Wow," Daniel muttered.I smirked. "I'm only your kryptonite if I want to be."In that moment, I wasn't just happy because Daniel had his powers back. I was happy because Marcus was getting saved. Marcus was finally going to be free from that hellhole Gideon called a mansion. And Gideon? He was going to die. Tonight.Daniel gathered his men and gave them the signal. The dark warehouse buzzed with the kind of energy that only shows up before a war. Then, he introduced me to them— not as an outsider, not as a threat—but as his twin brother.
THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 32: "TALK SH*T, GET SPELLED"
DANIEL'S POVI still don’t understand why my powers aren’t working like they used to. It’s like something inside of me broke. Something deep, something important. I’ve tried to ignore it, tried to fight through it, but it’s impossible not to feel it. The energy I once had— the supernatural strength, the ability to control things most people can’t even dream of— it's fading. Slipping from my fingers like sand, no matter how tightly I try to hold on.I even spoke to Truth about it. That’s how serious it got. I never summon Truth unless things are bad. Real bad. And guess what? He didn’t give me a straight answer. No reason. No solution. Just vague words and silence. Typical.But if I had to guess… I’d say Liam is the cause of all this.The moment he showed up in this world, things began to change. My magic started acting strange. Weak. Unstable. It’s like his very presence breaks something in me. It makes no sense, but it’s real. I feel it.A part of me keeps whispering, Kill him. End h
THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 31: "IF LOOKS COULD KILL (DANIEL WOULD STILL PREFER A GUN)"
LIAM'S POVI grew up hearing the phrase, “Opportunities come but once.” People said it like it was the ultimate truth. I believed it too, for a long time. But the older I got, the more I realized that wasn’t true. Opportunities are everywhere. Every single day, life throws them at you. The thing is… you have to be ready for them. If you’re not, they slip right past you. Just like that.Pointing a gun at Daniel’s head… that was one of those moments. An opportunity. A test. And believe me, I was ready.Daniel stood in front of me, completely calm. Too calm. His eyes were locked on mine, and he didn’t even flinch at the gun. That should’ve told me something. Still, I held it steady.“So you’re going to kill me because of Marcus?” he said. Then he tilted his head a little, like it hurt him to say the next part. “My Marcus?”That made something inside me snap. My hand tightened around the grip of the gun. I wanted to pull the trigger, I swear I did.“Stop calling him your Marcus,” I growle
THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 30: "MISTAKE SENT ME— BLAME HER"
DANIEL'S POVAdrian had already seen me through the window. I didn’t know how, but his eyes found me up there, even though I was standing on the third floor of my mansion. I thought I was safe, hidden by height and distance. But that didn’t matter to Adrian. He had already stretched out his gun from below, calm and ready. He didn’t care that I was up high. His aim didn’t follow the law of physics; it followed his will. Even if I ran, even if I disappeared behind walls, I had this gut feeling that the bullet would find me. Adrian’s bullet wouldn’t obey logic or science. It would only obey him— tge lack of MISTAKESThen, out of nowhere, I heard something I wasn’t supposed to hear. A voice. One that made my entire body stiffen."Adrian!"It was Marcus.Marcus? He was supposed to be asleep. What the hell was he doing outside?I looked down quickly, and there he was— Marcus. My heartbeat quickened. He was walking toward Adrian, stepping right over the dead bodies of my men like they were j
THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 29: "HELP! MY MAGIC’S ON LOW BATTERY"
DANIEL'S POVGideon is growing fast. Too fast.He’s getting bigger in New York City— bigger than I expected. And the other kingpins? They’ve started noticing him. They’re watching him. Whispering about him. Some even want to meet him. They’re starting to think he’s something special. Something worth keeping an eye on. But none of this would’ve happened without me.And why?Because of Liam.Seeing Liam close to Marcus, make something in me snapped. I couldn’t just sit by and watch my other self take Marcus from me. I know it sounds strange— crazy even. But I’ve always known there was more than just this world. And seeing Liam... someone who looked exactly like me, act like me, move like me... it shook me to my core.If I had to give up the drug game to protect Marcus, I would do it. I didn’t care about the power anymore. Not if Marcus was at risk. I didn’t want to lose him, not now, not ever.But lately, things haven’t been right. Not with me.Ever since I found out about Liam’s existe
THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 28: MISTAKE? NEVER HEARD OF HER
ADRIAN'S POVI still can’t believe it.Someone actually came to this world because of love?It sounds like a joke, something out of a badly written book. But this isn’t fiction. It’s real. Marcus told me himself. He looked me in the eye and said there’s a guy named Liam who looks exactly like Daniel. And not just that— he said Liam came here for him. For love.That made my skin crawl.To me, Liam is not just another face. He’s a threat. A competitor. And you know one thing about me?I hate competitors.Daniel was bad enough. I’ve had to deal with him breathing down my neck for months. And now, there’s Liam—a lookalike, probably even worse. Someone from another world, just showing up out of nowhere, thinking he can take Marcus from me? No. That’s not happening. Not in this world.That’s one of the reasons I joined the Dogs of Hell’s Kitchen in the first place. Not just for safety, not just for protection, but for power. Control. I needed help taking down those who stood in my way. Thos
THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 27: "IN CASE OF FUTURE MURDER, BREAK IN"
MARCUS'S POVGetting into Adrian’s house was way too easy. Too damn easy, and that made my stomach twist.I already knew where he kept his keys. He never changed that hiding spot— not even after we broke up. That said a lot about him, didn’t it? Still careless. Still trusting the world not to betray him. Or maybe… maybe he never expected me to betray him. Maybe deep down, he thought I would never come back with a gun in my hand.He was wrong.When we broke up, I didn’t give the spare key back. I just kept it. Maybe I knew this day would come. Maybe I was holding on to it, thinking I’d need it— for closure, for revenge, or maybe just to feel like I still had a part of him.I walked to the door, looked around once, and unlocked it quietly. No one saw me. I slipped in like a shadow. The house smelled the same. Like wine, cologne, and old records. I shut the door and gave it a little kick from behind, just to make sure it settled into place without drawing attention. Then I stood there fo
THE OTHER ME WANT MY MAN Chapter 26: “WHO’S WHO AND WHY IS HE HOT?”
MARCUS'S POVI’ve been scared since Liam told me the truth.He didn’t say it like someone trying to scare me or warn me gently. No. He said it like someone who had lived it— over and over again. The way he looked at me when he spoke left no space for doubt. It was like he had seen it a thousand times, each one ending the same way. He said, “In every world, every version of you ends up dying… and Adrian is always the one who kills you.”Adrian. My ex.That name alone was enough to send a chill through me, but hearing that he was the one fated to end my life… it did something else. It shook something inside me that I didn’t even know could be touched anymore.It made me feel doomed.And that’s when everything about Liam started to make sense. Why he did what he did. Why he made a deal with a supernatural being. Why he risked everything, even his soul, just to come back in time. But he didn’t come back to save his Marcus— his version of me. No.He was tricked here. To this world. For me.
