Chapter 4: MISTAKE MADE ME DO IT
Last Updated:
2025-03-14 03:48:46LIAM'S POV
I watched as Adrian smirked at Marcus, his presence alone making my blood boil. "I just wanted to say hi," Adrian said smoothly. "And when I didn’t see you, I decided to prepare your favorite meal." His voice was too calm, too familiar, as if nothing had changed. Normally, Adrian and Marcus had broken up two months before I originally met Marcus. Adrian owned one of the biggest restaurants in Hell’s Kitchen. He was a chef, successful and confident, but right now, he seemed desperate. I could tell he wanted something— another chance. "Adrian, I want you out of my house," Marcus said, his voice sharp with anger. Adrian exhaled heavily and pulled off his apron. "I’m sorry, Marcus," he said, stepping forward. "It was a mistake. I was drunk that night." "Don’t come any closer. Just leave," Marcus snapped. I watched silently, but Adrian’s eyes flickered toward me, studying me carefully. "He’s the new guy, right?" Adrian asked, a knowing smirk tugging at his lips. "Whatever," Marcus muttered. Adrian smiled. "Believe me, no one will ever love you the way I do. No one," he said before walking out. His words hung in the air like a curse. Every word he had spoken, every movement he had made— it had all happened before. But there was one difference: the location. Normally, this scene had played out in a different location, not Marcus’s house. But the words they both spoke, the tension, the pain? It was all the same. Marcus’s house was unchanged. The only thing that was different was me. Because presently, there is another version of me. A version known as Daniel— a feared kingpin. Marcus sighed heavily and sat on the couch. I could see his mind working, the weight of his thoughts pressing on him. After a few moments, he looked up at me. "Daniel," he said slowly, "why did you save me that night?" I stiffened. "You should have left me to be killed by the Dogs of Hell," Marcus continued. "But you personally saved me. Why?" I stared at him, my heart pounding. What? I had no idea what he was talking about. I wasn’t there. Daniel was. And that meant... this was how Marcus and Daniel had met. Marcus was still waiting for an answer. His sharp gaze pinned me in place. I cleared my throat. "You… you needed help," I said, hoping that made sense. "That’s why I saved you." Marcus narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wasn’t satisfied with my answer. I needed to change the subject before he started asking more questions. "Tell me more about yourself," I said quickly. Marcus scoffed. "We talked about that yesterday." I frowned. Daniel had already come this far with Marcus? They had been building something? Marcus leaned back against the couch, his expression darkening. "Ever since the incident at my store, I can’t stop thinking about it. What if the Dogs of Hell come back for me?" My stomach twisted. I wanted to ask what incident. I wanted to know what had happened. But I couldn’t. If I did, it would only make things weirder. I had no choice but to play along. "They won’t," I said firmly, trying to sound confident. "I’m here for you." The words left my mouth before I even realized it. Marcus looked at me, his expression unreadable. The rest of the afternoon passed with us playing video games and talking. But I couldn’t keep my mind off what Marcus had said. I wanted to dig deeper, to understand what was happening. Then, as night fell, Marcus turned to me. "You should stay over tonight," he said suddenly. I blinked. "What?" Marcus grabbed my hand, his grip warm and steady. "Stay." I swallowed. "Really?" "Yes," he said simply. I nodded, unsure of what to say. We spent the night watching movies. Every now and then, I caught him looking at me, and I quickly looked away. The tension between us was there— unspoken, but present. When it was finally time to sleep, Marcus pointed me toward the guest room. I stepped inside, shutting the door behind me. And that’s when I saw her. A woman sat calmly on the bed, staring at me. The supernatural being. My heart pounded. "I hope you’re enjoying your time with him," she said smoothly. I walked closer, lowering my voice. "You know what’s going on, don’t you?" She tilted her head slightly. "Yes. And it’s exactly what you should be worried about." I clenched my fists. "I didn’t ask for this. I just wanted to go back to the past and save Marcus." My voice was rising. "And now I’m here, stuck in a world where someone else— someone dangerous— has already lived my life! What the hell is going on?" The woman sighed, her expression unreadable. "I’m sorry to break this to you," she said. "But you’re not in the past." I felt my body go rigid. "What?" "You’re in a different world." The words hit me like a punch to the gut. "A different world?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. "Yes," she confirmed. I staggered back, shaking my head. No. No, that couldn’t be right. The past was supposed to be fixed. I was supposed to save Marcus. But now… I wasn’t even in the right reality. The supernatural being stood, walking toward me. "I came here to tell you the price of the opportunity I gave you," she said. "But before that, you need to hear a story." I swallowed hard. She smiled faintly. "My name is Mistake," she said. "And I am one of the pillars of this world." And just like that, everything I thought I knew shattered.

LIAM'S POV"About three years back in this world, the man that looked exactly like you tricked me," she said, her voice steady but sharp, her piercing gaze locked onto mine.I couldn’t help but smile, though it wasn’t because I found it funny. It was more out of genuine surprise. A human tricking a supernatural being? That sounded ridiculous. Impossible, even.

I stretch lazily, letting out a satisfied sigh as I reach out, expecting to feel the comforting warmth of Marcus beside me.But my hand meets only empty sheets.I blink, my fingers running over the cool fabric where he should be. He’s gone.A small smile tugs at my lips as I stare at the ceiling. Last night had been perfect— every kiss, every touch, every whispered word had felt real. It wasn’t just passion; it was something deeper, something that made me believe, even for a moment, that we were meant to be together.But then, reality slams into me like a cold wave.Daniel.The mere thought of his name makes my stomach twist with unease.

DANIEL'S POV I drive toward Marcus’s place as the evening sky darkens. The streetlights flicker on, casting a dim glow over the empty road. The hum of my engine is the only sound in the quiet night, but my mind is anything but calm.I wasn’t supposed to pick him up. We had agreed to meet at his house later, after our discussion at his store this morning . But at the last minute, I changed my mind.Because something is off.There’s a feeling deep in my gut, one I can’t shake. It’s not just paranoia— it’s more than that.

GIDEON'S POVI sit in my dimly lit office, the only source of light coming from the streetlamps outside. The scent of burning tobacco fills the air, thick and heavy, clinging to my clothes, my skin, my thoughts. I take a slow drag from my cigarette and exhale, watching the smoke curl toward the ceiling. Beyond the glass windows, the city stretches before me like a living beast— dark, restless, unforgiving.Hell’s Kitchen.My battlefield. My home. My prison.And at the center of it all is him.Daniel.The man who was once my best friend. The man I should have left for dead a long time ago.We started this journey together.

LAIM'S POVI stood outside Marcus’s house, my heart pounding hard in my chest. The cool night air brushed against my skin, but it did nothing to calm the heat of panic rising inside me. The scent of flowers I had carefully arranged still lingered, mixing with the rich, savory aroma of the meal I had spent hours preparing. Every detail had been planned perfectly— every candle placed with purpose, every decoration arranged just right. I had cleaned every corner, making sure the place looked exactly as I imagined. Tonight was supposed to be special. A night Marcus would never forget.But everything changed the moment he arrived.I heard the familiar sound of his car pulling into the driveway, the low hum of the engine sending shivers down my spine. I had been excited at first, ready to surprise him, ready to see the look on his face when he stepped inside.

We had plans— big ones. We spent late nights in the lab, pushing boundaries, dreaming of making breakthroughs in science.So what changed?Why does Gideon want Marcus dead?I rack my brain for answers, but nothing fits.

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.
