DEVYNE ~

I stood in front of the mirror, studying my reflection as Kora, my personal assistant adjusted the hem of my dress.

“Kora, do you think I look pretty enough tonight for Hunter to actually notice me?”

Kora smiled gently. “You’ve known him for five years. I think he’ll at least return the feeling. You’ve been trying for him all this time.”

“Five years already?” I muttered, almost not believing it myself. Had I really spent half a decade chasing and trying to please a man who barely notic

    Hunter ~Mr. Doue remained rooted to the spot, his face drained of color, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.Around us, the bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances, but none dared step forward.I let the silence be for a while, letting him imagine every terrible thing I could do to his little girl smiling on my phone screen. “The deal, Mr. Doue,” I said at last. “Sign it, and your daughter gets to finish her ice cream in peace. She goes home safely and never know any of this happened.”He still didn’t respond. His eyes remained locked on the phone screen, where his daughter’s face smiled back at him.Finally, he walked to the chair and sat down stiffly, his hands shaking as he did.I pulled the contract from my jacket and placed it on the table between us, waiting without rushing him. When he eventually lifted his head and looked at me, I smiled. That seemed to anger him more.“You psychopath,” he hissed angrily. “No wonder there were news about you stabbing your own twin. You unwa

    Hunter ~When I got to my place after leaving the casino, three of my men were already waiting for me.“Everything ready?” I asked as I walked past them and headed straight for my room to change."Yes, boss. You can still catch the last flight," one of them replied before I disappeared into my room.A few minutes later, I came back out dressed in a black shirt and dark pants. The men followed behind me as I left the house, while Marcus carried my bag.He placed it in the trunk while I settled into the passenger seat. One of the men leaned toward the open window."What should we do while you’re away, boss."I crooked a finger, signaling him to come closer. Once he did, I leaned forward and murmured a few instructions into his ear.He nodded once and straightened. "Alright, boss."The window rolled up, Marcus started the engine, and we headed for the airport.As we drove, Marcus kept glancing at me through the rearview mirror. I’d ignored him at first, but if he kept it up, he was event

    Alistair~~I watched her shake, her fingers curling into fists, her breath shallow, her eyes fixed on the bloodstained floor where the man's fingers had scattered.I gave her time to process the horror she had seen before bending down and lifting her into my arms. She didn't resist. She was too stunned to resist.By the time we reached the elevator, she finally managed to find her voice. “Put me down, please."I lowered her carefully to her feet, though I kept a hand on her elbow to steady her."I know I shouldn't be showing you all this," I said as the elevator began its ascent. “But you needed to understand who Hunter really is. That’s why he’s never gotten along with anyone in the family. Growing up, I was the only person he was remotely close to. We were inseparable… at least I thought we were. Until he decided to stab me over a childish argument about clothes.”She just stared at the elevator door, lost in her own thoughts.The rest of the drive back to the mansion passed withou

    Maisie ~Instead of leaving, Alistair walked closer and sat beside me on the bed, the mattress dipping slightly under his weight. I didn't look at him."Maisie." He called softly, all the anger in his voice from earlier had drained away, "Tell me what's wrong. What's happening?"I shook my head. "I'm exhausted. I need to sleep. We can talk tomorrow."But he didn't move. He reached for my hand, taking it in his and squeezing it gently."I know I let Hunter take my place at the altar. I know I've made mistakes, but I'm still your husband, Maisie. You can tell me anything."I finally looked at him. His brown eyes looked worried, but for a moment… I saw Hunter's face instead. The same features, the same jaw, the same lips that had kissed me, bitten me, whispered filthy things in my ear.I tried to look away, but he held my face and turned it back to him, then leaned in and kissed me.I didn’t push him away, but I didn’t kiss him back either; I just stayed still and frozen until he pulled

    Maisie ~I dragged myself into my room, on shaky legs and a bothered mind.What was the real reason behind this marriage?The question wouldn’t leave me alone. It kept circling in my head, over and over again. If I asked my mother, I already knew I would get the same vague answers she’d always given me; Be a good wife, mind your business, and avoid Hunter. The day Alistair rejected me at the Gilded Vine, my mother had looked me straight in the eye and fed me that bullshit about how Alistair and I were always meant to end up together, whether I told them about us or not.If my own mother could boldly imply that even my death wouldn’t have stopped this wedding from happening, then there had to be something much darker beneath it all. But what?I changed into my nightgown and fell flat on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.My thoughts searched desperately for answers. For a clue. Anything that could explain why Mrs. Grimshaw could smile while threatening me and my family, why my pa

    Maisie ~Even though my heart was hammering so hard I was certain she could hear it, I forced my face to remain calm, and completely unbothered.“That’s true. Hunter was in my room,” I began. “ I was in the bathroom doing my usual nighttime routine, and when I came out, he was already standing outside my door as if he had been waiting for me.”I let out a small sigh, one I was certain an irritated sister-in-law might make.“Naturally, I was irritated, so I asked what he thought he was doing walking into my room without warning. But he ignored that completely and only asked where Alistair was.”Mrs. Grimshaw's expression didn't change as her eyes stayed fixed on mine."I told him I didn't know. That I’d tried calling Alistair earlier, but his phone wasn’t reachable. Then he said he was leaving the country for two weeks. That's all. After that, he left.”I went on to complain about how rude Hunter had been, how he hadn’t bothered apologizing for barging into my room, and how he had simp

    I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t breathe. My mind screamed at me to push him away, to duck under his arm and run, but my body was frozen like a statue. My gaze dropped to his left arm, so close to my face I could see the intricate details of the black ink swirling over his skin. My mission screamed in

    I opened my mouth, a soundless question hanging on my tongue, but before I could shape it into words, Hunter took a sudden step forward.Panic shot through me as I stumbled back, my heel catching the edge of the stone and nearly sending me off balance. His strong, wet hand steadied my elbow, his gr

    Hunter ~~I was on a call when the door opened. I stayed where I was, leaning against my desk, and didn’t bother ending the call. I just watched her walk in and close the door quietly behind her.She looked pale, like she had seen something she couldn’t forget.“Nine on the dot. He must not be a se

    Maisie~A hand shaking my shoulder dragged me from a dreamless sleep."Maisie. Wake up."I groaned, burying my face deeper into the pillow. The voice was familiar and far too cheerful for whatever ungodly hour this was."Maisie Whitlock."My eyes flew open. My mom was sitting on the edge of my bed,
