The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 64
Pain was an all-consuming thing. It gnawed at the edges of my consciousness, dragging me toward the darkness that threatened to swallow me whole. I tried to fight it, tried to keep my eyes open, but every breath sent fire licking through my ribs. My vision swam, the world tilting in and out of focus. I barely remembered how I got out of that hellhole. One moment, I was fighting for my life; the next, strong arms were carrying me, a familiar voice murmuring my name. Damian. I forced my eyes open, blinking against the harsh glow of the overhead lights. We weren’t in the safe house, but somewhere secure. The walls were reinforced steel, medical supplies scattered across the table. Luka stood near the entrance, giving orders to a handful of Damian’s men. I tried to sit up, but the sharp sting in my side stopped me cold. A hiss slipped past my lips. “Don’t,” Damian’s voice was rough, edged with something I couldn’t quite name. “You’re hurt.” I let my head fall back against the pi

The world outside was still steeped in chaos, but for the first time in what felt like forever, I found myself in a rare moment of stillness. The dim glow of the bedside lamp cast long shadows across the room, its warmth a stark contrast to the cold war raging beyond these walls. I shifted slightly, feeling the dull ache radiate from my injuries. The medics had done their best, patching me up, but I was still weak. My body felt heavy, exhausted from battle, but my mind refused to rest. Not when he was here. Damian sat in a chair beside the bed, elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped together. He looked like a man carrying the weight of the world, his usually sharp eyes clouded with something unreadable. His face was marred with bruises, a gash just above his eyebrow hastily stitched up. He should have been resting too, but I knew he wouldn’t leave. Not until he was sure I was okay. "You should sleep," I murmured, my voice hoarse from exhaustion. He lifted his gaze to me, his d

The air was thick with tension as we stood on the edge of the battlefield. The enemy’s base loomed in the distance, dark and unyielding, a fortress built on blood and betrayal. This was it—the moment we had been fighting for, bleeding for. Damian stood beside me, his expression carved from stone. His black combat gear blended into the night, his presence commanding. Around us, our men waited, their weapons ready, their loyalty unwavering. Luka gave me a nod, his usual smirk absent as he tightened his grip on his rifle. I took a slow breath, steadying my racing heart. "We end this tonight." Damian’s eyes flickered toward me. "No matter what happens, stay close." I almost laughed. "You know that’s not how this works." His jaw tensed, but he didn’t argue. He knew better. I wasn’t just his fiancée—I was his partner in this war. With a silent signal, we moved. The Infiltration The first shot rang out, cutting through the stillness of the night. Chaos erupted as we stormed the enem

The air was thick with the scent of blood and gunpowder. The battle had ravaged the Volkov stronghold, leaving behind shattered glass, broken bodies, and a heavy silence that seemed to press against my chest. But none of it compared to what was unfolding before me now. In the dimly lit warehouse, Nadia stood face-to-face with the traitor. Her stance was firm, her gun steady in her hands, but her expression—God, her expression—was filled with heartbreak. The weight of her decision was etched into every tense muscle, every shallow breath. Damian stood beside me, his body rigid, eyes locked on his sister as if he already knew what was coming. His fists clenched at his sides, but he didn’t move. This was Nadia’s battle. The traitor knelt before her, bloody and beaten, yet still wearing a smirk. Alexei. I should’ve known. He had always been too smooth, too calculating. He had played the role of a loyal soldier well, but in the end, he had been playing both sides. “Why?” Nadia’s voice

The air was thick with the scent of blood and gunpowder. The sky above us was swallowed by smoke, and the ground beneath my feet trembled with every explosion. This was it—the war we had been preparing for, the battle that would decide everything. I gripped my gun tightly, my fingers aching from the relentless fighting. Damian was beside me, his movements precise and ruthless as he cut through the enemy like a man possessed. And then, it all went wrong. A sharp pain struck the back of my head before I could react, my vision going black for a split second. When I regained focus, I was being dragged away, my arms wrenched behind me. No. No. No. I struggled violently, but the grip on me was unrelenting. The sounds of gunfire grew distant as I was pulled through the chaos. I caught a glimpse of Damian in the middle of the battlefield, his eyes scanning for me. He hadn’t seen me yet. Then a voice cut through the air like a blade. "Drop your weapons, Volkov, or she dies." Everything

The war was reaching its final moments. The scent of blood and gunpowder clung to the air, thick and suffocating. Screams of the wounded echoed through the battlefield, but I remained hidden, pressed against the cold stone pillar, my heart pounding in my chest. This was Damian’s plan. The enemy leader—Alexei Petrov—stood before him, arrogance still clinging to his features despite the bodies of his men littering the ground. Nadia was at Damian’s side, her gun pointed directly at Petrov’s heart. But I stayed in the shadows. I was meant to be his trump card. Petrov exhaled sharply, shaking his head. "Volkov, we don't have to keep this going. You’ve already won. My men are dead. But I’m offering you something better than my life.” Damian didn’t lower his gun. “There’s nothing you have that I want.” “Oh, I think there is,” Petrov smirked. “You want your family safe? You want your empire secured? Let me walk away, and I’ll make sure no one ever comes after you again.” Nadia s

The battlefield stretched before us, a graveyard of the fallen. Smoke curled into the sky, thick and suffocating, carrying the acrid scent of gunpowder, blood, and burning metal. The air was heavy with the weight of victory, yet it did not feel like one.I stood beside Damian, my breath slow, measured, though each inhale burned. My injuries throbbed—a dull, persistent ache buried beneath exhaustion—but the pain was nothing compared to the hollow emptiness settling in my chest.It was over.We had won.And yet…Why did it feel like we had lost something far greater than just the battle?I glanced at Damian. He hadn’t spoken since the last shot was fired. His face was a mask of stone, his ice-blue eyes locked on the battlefield as if he were trying to memorize every fallen body, every bloodstain, every sign of destruction. His shoulders were stiff, his fists clenched at his sides.I knew him well enough now to see through the cracks in his armor. This wasn’t just anger.It was grief.Th

The battlefield was behind us, but its ghosts would never truly leave. The scent of blood still clung to the air, the weight of death pressing down on our shoulders. The echoes of gunfire had faded, but in my mind, I could still hear them—sharp, brutal reminders of the life we had chosen. Damian stood beside me, his grip on my hand firm. Neither of us spoke as we walked through the wreckage, stepping over shattered glass and fallen bodies. The war was over, but the world had not magically pieced itself back together. Victory did not mean peace. Not for people like us. I squeezed Damian’s hand, a silent reminder that he wasn’t alone. He glanced down at me, his cold blue eyes softening—just a little. He was exhausted. Not physically—no, Damian Volkov was built for war, trained to endure. But this was a different kind of exhaustion. One that settled deep into the bones, one that sleep could never truly erase. I understood it because I felt it, too. What Comes After War?

The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 92 [ Special Chapter 11 ]
Five years had passed since that first time we’d visited the Carnaval. Time had flown by in a way that both amazed and overwhelmed me. Nathan was now a little boy, five years old and full of energy. His laughter was contagious, and every day with him felt like a new adventure. As a family, we had our ups and downs, but there was something about the way our little world had come together that made everything worth it. The idea of going to the Carnaval again was something Damian had suggested a few weeks ago. I had almost forgotten about the tradition we started with Nathan when he was a baby. Now, with him being five, I knew this would be a different experience. Nathan was old enough to appreciate the colors, the music, the rides, and, of course, the games. We were no longer a young couple trying to figure out parenthood. We were a family—stronger, closer, and so much more in tune with each other. I watched as Damian helped Nathan into his little outfit. It was cute and casual, perfe
The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 91 [ Special Chapter 10 ]
The day had finally arrived. Isabella had been feeling the first signs of labor for a few hours, and the excitement—and nerves—were palpable. She had been waiting for this moment, but now that it was here, she felt a whirlwind of emotions. Damian, however, was the one who seemed to be caught up in a storm of anxiety. His hands were shaking slightly as he paced the floor beside Isabella’s bed, watching her as she breathed through the contractions. Nadia, ever the supportive sister-in-law, stood nearby, doing her best to keep things calm. But even she couldn’t help but laugh a little at the sight of Damian, who looked as though he was about to faint. His face was pale, and he kept running his hands through his hair in frustration. "Damian, take a breath," Nadia said, trying to hold back a giggle. "You’re going to pass out if you keep pacing like that." Damian gave her a nervous glance. "I don’t know how you’re so calm. This is—" He stopped himself, realizing how ridiculous he sounded

I’ve always heard about the strange cravings and unpredictable moods that come with pregnancy, but nothing really prepares you for experiencing it yourself. When I first found out I was pregnant, everything seemed so surreal—like it was happening to someone else. But then, as the days went on, the reality of it began to sink in, and with that came a whole new world of experiences. The first change I noticed was my cravings. And let me tell you, they were... unexpected, to say the least. At first, it was subtle. I’d crave a little extra chocolate here, a strange combination of pickles and ice cream there. But then, one evening, I found myself standing in front of the fridge, staring at a jar of mustard like it was the most precious thing in the world. I couldn’t explain it, but I had to have it. Damian was on the phone, talking business when I grabbed the jar, and when he saw me sitting on the kitchen counter, spooning mustard straight into my mouth, he nearly dropped his phone. “Isa

As Damian and I continued to bask in the warmth of the moment, I noticed a soft sound coming from the door. My heart skipped a beat before I realized who it was. Nadia. She had probably been watching the whole thing through the hidden camera, waiting for the perfect moment to join us. Her timing was impeccable, as always. I barely had time to process her arrival before the door creaked open and she stepped inside, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Well, well, well,” she said, leaning casually against the doorframe with a smirk on her face. “It seems someone’s getting a little too comfortable in their new role as ‘Daddy.’” Damian, still sitting on the edge of the bed, shot her a surprised look before a sheepish grin spread across his face. He looked between Nadia and me, clearly caught off guard. “Nadia, you were watching the whole thing?” Nadia raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, her playful expression never faltering. “I may have had a front-row seat to the most beautiful mo

It had been a week since Nadia, the maid, and I discovered the surprising news. A week since I saw the small, positive pregnancy test in my hand and realized that my life was about to change in ways I could never have anticipated. The excitement and fear still bubbled inside me every time I thought about it. But it wasn’t just me who was going to be affected by this news—it was Damian, too. And that’s why I wanted to do something special for him. Something that would surprise him, something that would be ours to share, even if it was just for a moment. I had an idea in my head ever since Nadia and I had looked at that little pink line. Damian had no idea yet, and I wanted to give him a surprise—an unforgettable moment when he would find out. Nadia, as usual, was all for it. She supported me in whatever I wanted to do. “This is for both of you,” she said when I told her my plan. “I’ll just set up a hidden camera in the bedroom, and then it’s all you. I think he’ll love it. You both w

It had been four weeks since our honeymoon in the Maldives, and something felt different. At first, I dismissed the strange feeling, brushing it off as just the weight of all the changes in my life. But the dizziness that came and went, the lack of energy, and the growing sense of exhaustion couldn’t be ignored. There were days when I simply didn’t want to do anything—days when getting out of bed felt like an impossible task. I wasn’t sick, not really. But I felt off. At first, I thought it was just the stress from adjusting to this new life with Damian. There was still so much to figure out—our relationship, the balance between work and life, everything. But as the days went by, I began to notice something else: my appetite had changed. I was eating more than usual, craving things I wouldn’t normally want. I could feel my body demanding food at strange hours. It wasn’t like me, at all. Nadia, my ever-watchful sister-in-law, seemed to notice too. One afternoon, as we sat together in

Honeymoon in the Maldives.I never thought I’d get here, standing in the Maldives with Damian, of all people, by my side. It had been a long road to this moment. The wedding was everything I had hoped for, but the thought of a honeymoon—a trip where we could finally relax, away from all the chaos of our lives—felt surreal.The first day was everything I had expected and more. The sun hung lazily in the sky, its golden rays reflecting off the crystal-clear waters that stretched as far as the eye could see. The soft sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the warm breeze brushing against my skin—it all felt like a dream. Damian and I had been taken on a guided tour of the island. We swam in lagoons, explored lush green paths lined with flowers, and even fed tropical fish by the water. It was a perfect day. The kind of day I had always imagined, where nothing mattered except the beauty of the world around me and the person by my side.I could see the joy in Damian’s eyes as we exp

Wedding Day. The morning of the wedding was nothing like I had imagined. In all the hours I spent dreaming about this day, I had envisioned the excitement, the butterflies in my stomach, the overwhelming feeling of love. What I hadn’t expected, though, was the stillness. The calm before the storm. I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at myself. The woman staring back at me wasn’t the girl who had been forced into a marriage for power. She wasn’t the same person who had been manipulated by her parents or the woman who had walked into the Volkov family’s world, frightened and uncertain of her place. The woman in the mirror was someone entirely different. Stronger. More confident. Someone who had fought for what she wanted. Someone who was ready to step into her future with a man who had shown her love and respect in ways she never thought possible. I ran my fingers over the fabric of my wedding dress, the delicate lace soft against my fingertips. The dress had been chosen with D
The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 84 [ Special Chapter 3 ]
It had been a whirlwind of emotions these past few months—wedding preparations, life changes, and the overwhelming shift in my heart as I had finally accepted the love Damian and I shared. But even amidst all the excitement, there was something unresolved. Something that had been lingering in the back of my mind for a long time now—my parents. I hadn’t spoken to them much since everything had unfolded. They had always kept their distance after the deal with the Volkov family had been struck. But now that my wedding was just around the corner, I felt like I needed to face them. Not as their obedient daughter, but as someone who had been wronged and yet, someone who had learned to forgive. I owed it to myself, to them, and to the life I had built with Damian. Damian understood. He knew this wasn’t going to be easy for me, but he promised he’d be there for me no matter what. The love I had for him had become something that felt unshakable, and I had learned to lean on him in ways I ne
