Keiran

The plan worked. I did it. Vaughn is now in my clutches and I’m going to break him to pieces, then do the same to his damned family. They don’t know what’s coming for them. The wrath of La Bete will soon be upon them and then, Reynolds will wish that he killed me that night.

I smile to myself as I look at the marriage papers in my hands. He signed them. Vaughn and I are officially married for the next three months, this was a last-minute decision. The sister was supposed to be the one I would marry, but I immediately lost interest and even lost more interest when I saw her face. She does not fascinate me like her brother does.

And what’s more fun than pushing the buttons of a well-cultured man who’s hiding that he’s gay? I’m going to humiliate Vaughn. I will tarnish his reputation so that he will not be the same ‘Golden boy again’. I'm going to destroy him to the point that he will walk around with his head facing the ground.

I fold the paper neatly and I put it in a drawer. Standing up to my feet, I grab a cigar before stepping out of my study room. As I walk along the hallways, I lit the cigar which I begin to smoke.

When will he be here? I impatiently take a look at my watch. Bryce went to get my husband. I laugh to myself at that thought.

I only went to that bar that night to scare and taunt him, but I ended up finding out about such a precious secret. The golden boy is Gay. He likes and fucks men and Daddy doesn't even know about it. How pathetic. He thinks his son is straight. What a joke!

Just when I arrive downstairs, I hear voices and the sounds of bags ruffling. He's here. A wide smirk appears on my face as I push my hand into my pocket, the other hand holding my cigar as I stand in the middle of the sitting room.

The smirk falls from my face the moment I see a female. What the hell is she doing here? She's all dressed up and has heavy makeup on her face, from the way her cleavage is packed and peeking out, I can tell she got them done at first glance.

She smiles at me, people will call that a sweet smile, but I almost puke. Bryce is holding two bags then my eyes fall on my target. Vaughn Saint McCarthy. Of course, there's a solemn look on his face and he's not smiling at all.

He should sit tight. By the time I'm done with him, he will start crying. “What are you doing in my house?” My question is directed at the sister. I asked for one sibling, not two annoying ones. I'm still thinking about how I'll deal with the brother.

“I…. I… came to see my brother off.” She smiles, playing with the tip of her hair as she keeps moving like an earthworm placed on salt. Seriously, stand in one spot and stop moving. I'm not going to change my mind or even fuck her.

“He’s not a kid.” I point out and then I look at Vaughn. He's handsome. His blonde hair is nearly styled and different emotions are running through those ocean-blue eyes of his. He looks conflicted and confused.

“He’s my kid brother. I came to see him off.” She says in a sultry voice and I roll my eyes. Did she come here to send Vaughn off or did she come here to show me her breasts? One that she worked on? Geez. What a turn-off.

“You've seen him now, you can go.” I dismiss her, pushing my cigar into my mouth as I drag out a smoke.

A defeated look appears on her face and she begins to stammer.”B…but can't I stay for a little while?” She pouts, giving that look that most girls give to their boyfriends when asking for something. The puppy dog eyes. Was that supposed to convince me to let her stay? Fuck, I want to kill her for doing that.

“Just go. You're no longer needed here. So….leave.” I nod at Bryce who begins to walk towards her.

“B….b…”

“Miss please, you have to come with me.”

“I'm your sister-in-law!!” She says and I resist the urge not to laugh.

“See her out.” She begins to struggle with Bryce who holds her by her wrist as he begins to drag her out of the house. Vaughn looks at me angrily, and a smile appears on my face as I watch Bryce drag the sister out.

“You didn't have to do that. It was not necessary,” he mumbles in annoyance.

“My house, My rules.” I smile.

“Whatever. If you need to know, act like you don't know me and this isn't a real marriage. I don't know what your plans are, but if you try to hurt my family, I will kill you.” He threatens with a hard look on his face, angrily pointing at me.

Oh, Our golden boy sure knows how to get angry.

“We will see about that,” I say casually.

“Don't even try to play with me, Keiran. You don't want to get me angry. Don't make me lose my cool. This isn't a real marriage and we are not going to act like married couples either.” he states and I smile as I watch him carry his bags and he begins to walk upstairs.

“Says the man who wants to be concerned, gagged, spanked and fucked roughly. And by a man?” I say in a taunting voice and Vaughn pauses. He looks at me with a cold gaze, a gaze so cold that it can intimidate someone. Not me.

Well, this is unlike Vaughn who's so soft-spoken. What am I even saying? Everything about him is just an act. He's hiding the real him.

“Fuck you!” He flips the middle finger before he continues going upstairs. I part my lips in amusement as I run my tongue over my lower lips. Vaughn is compelling. The real Vaughn. One that I'm very curious to know about.

    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 tells me something’s wrong. I grab my phone again and dial Bryce. He rushes down the stairs as soon as he sees my face.“I think something is wrong with Vaughn. I need you to track his location, his car, his phone, anything. Just find him,” I say urgently.“I’ll get right into it, boss,” he nods and hurries out of the house.I sink into the couch, folding my arms tightly across my chest. My legs won’t stop bouncing. My head is spinning with all the things I could’ve done differently. If I had just been patient, if I’d just explained instead of yelling back, maybe he wouldn’t have left. Maybe none of this would be happening.Is he okay? Is he hurt? The silence gnaws at my sanity. I can’t lose him

    VAUGHNI groan as I open my eyes to a dark room. My head pounds like there’s a war going on inside it, the pain sharp and relentless. I try to lift my hand to massage my temple, but that’s when I realize I’m tied to a chair. Thick ropes dig into my skin, cutting deeper the more I struggle.“What the hell,” I whisper.The room reeks of mildew and something metallic, like blood. I wriggle against the restraints, panic rising, but the ropes don’t budge. Every movement only makes the pain worse.I wince and start yelling. “Is anyone there? Hello? Let me out of here!” My voice echoes off the walls as I thrash against the chair.What the hell is going on? Why am I tied up? What did I do? A thousand questions spin through my mind, none with answers.“Hello! Help me out of here!” I scream again.The door creaks open, and two men step inside.“What the fuck is your problem?” one of them snaps. “You're trying to blow out our ears with that screeching? No one can hear you past this room. Shut it
