DANIEL'S POV

All 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
