Shadows Of Perfection: The Mafia’s Prey 94
VAUGHNToday is the long-awaited day.Today is the day Keiran and I go to adopt our pretty little angel. I can’t wait to have a child of my own to finally build the family we’ve dreamed of.It’s time to reclaim the love we lost by creating something new. A husband who loves and protects me with his whole heart. And now, a beautiful baby to complete us. Everything is falling into place.I hum a soft tune as I get ready upstairs while Keiran waits patiently downstairs. He must be tired of waiting by now.Excitement bubbles in my chest as I grab my cologne and spray it generously across my body. The scent feels like freedom, exactly how I feel today. Just as I’m about to rush out, my phone rings.Zoey’s name flashes across the screen, and a smile spreads across my face as I answer.“Hey,” I say.“Vaughn! How are you?” Zoey says excitedly, and my smile widens.“I’m fine, Zoey. How have you been?” I ask.“I’ve been great! How’s your husband? I hope he’s still treating you like royalty, or

VAUGHNMy heart feels heavy as I kneel by my mother’s grave, tears streaming down my face. Guilt and sorrow wrap around me like chains as I gently run my hand over her picture.“I’m so sorry, Mom,” I whisper, pressing my palm to her smiling face.“I’m so sorry I didn’t see through them,” I cry, my voice shaking as I stare at her carefree expression in the photo. She looks so beautiful, so full of life.“I’m sorry I didn’t save you! I’m sorry my carelessness cost you your life… I’m so sorry, Mom.” The guilt strangles my chest.“I never should’ve left you with them. I should’ve brought you with me. If I had, she wouldn’t have done it. She wouldn’t have killed you if I hadn’t been so naive and trusting. It’s my fault,” I sob harder, tracing my fingers over her name on the headstone.“Wren did it because of me. She was jealous, and she took it out on you. It’s all my fault! I can never do anything right.” The pain is unbearable.Suddenly, hands settle gently on my shoulders. I sob harder

KEIRAN“Get the car!” I shout, my voice hoarse as I scoop Vaughn into my arms and sprint out of the house.“Open the fucking door!” I bark at the guards, and they scramble to obey. The car door flies open, and I slide in with Vaughn cradled tightly against my chest.“You have to stay with me, baby. I won’t let you leave me.” The driver speeds through the streets, tires screeching as we race toward the hospital. My leg bounces restlessly, and I can’t tear my eyes away from Vaughn. His head rests against my shoulder, limp.As soon as we stop, I’m out the door, carrying him like he weighs nothing. A nurse rushes forward with a stretcher, and I gently lay him down, my hand never letting go of his. I walk beside them, refusing to release him until we reach the swinging doors.“Sir, you can’t go in with him. Please wait here,” the nurse says firmly.Before I can argue, they disappear behind the doors, and I’m left standing in the hallway, stunned.“Fuck!” I shout, dragging my hands through

VAUGHNMy whole body aches. Every inch of me screams in pain as I lean into Keiran, barely able to keep my balance. My heart clenches painfully in my chest as he helps me out of the room, one agonizing step at a time.But all I can think over and over again is that he came for me.Even when we were fighting, even when I thought he hated me, he still came.“Don’t take another step,” Wren warns, her lips curling into a twisted smirk. “Or you’ll both die right here.”My breath catches. Keiran shifts slightly, putting himself between me and her gun.“What the fuck do you want, Wren? Why are you doing this?” I ask, my voice raw and shaky.She scoffs. “Seriously? You still don’t get it?”“Drop the fucking gun, Wren,” Keiran growls, his voice a low snarl. “Or I’ll kill you and your old man right here, right now.”Wren lets out a dark laugh, her eyes glittering with hate. “You’re in my territory. You don’t get to threaten me.”Keiran’s glare sharpens, so full of venom it could kill. “Don’t be

KEIRANI pace around the living room, dialing Vaughn over and over again, but it keeps going straight to voicemail. This isn’t like him. I know I messed up badly, and I regret every bit of it, but right now, all I feel is panic.Why isn’t he back yet? It’s so late, and something deep in my gut tell

VAUGHN I feel like a complete fool. How did I not see it?“You fucking played me, Keiran! You played with my feelings, played me like I was some joke, and I fell for it!” My voice shakes with rage as I glare at him. “What do you even have to say for yourself? How are you going to defend this mess

VAUGHN “It’s time to leave. Are you ready?” Keiran calls out from the door, and I chuckle.“Why don’t you come in and see for yourself?” I yell back.“I can’t afford you seducing me. Hurry up,” he says, and I smirk. I spray on my perfume, give myself one last glance in the mirror, and step out. Hi
