Shadows Of Perfection: The Mafia’s Prey 84
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. His eyes roam over me like he’s trying to memorize every inch.“You look good,” he says, almost breathless.I walk closer with a grin. “Don’t I always?”As I brush past him, he leans in, his voice low and rough against my neck. “If we weren’t going out, I’d fuck you so hard you’d forget how to be sassy.”A shiver runs down my spine as his hand finds my waist, guiding me outside.We arrive at the wedding venue, and the moment we step in, I spot several of my former colleagues from the firm. They’re excited to see me, and truthfully, I missed them too. Keiran stays right beside me, close and grounding.Zoey sees me, and her face lights up.“Hey!” she says.“Hi,” I reply, a bit awkwardly. Keiran

VAUGHNI pace back and forth, my arms folded tightly across my chest, my heart thudding like a drum in my ears. Keiran should’ve been back by now. The longer he stays out, the harder it gets to breathe. He went to face my dad and every second that ticks by adds another stone of fear to my chest.My father isn’t just cruel, he’s dangerous, the kind of man who doesn’t flinch at the sight of blood. And Keiran’s reckless when he’s angry, especially when it comes to something so personal.I drop onto the couch and grab the remote, flipping through the channels without really seeing anything. Bright colors, loud voices, laughter but none of it stopped the storm cloud swirling in my head. I can’t focus. My fingers tremble, and my knee bounces restlessly.Why hasn’t he called?My mind spins out of control, crafting scenario after scenario, each one worse than the last. What if my dad pulled a gun? What if Keiran fought back and things spiraled? What if he didn’t walk away?“What if he gets sh

KEIRAN“It’s not possible. No, you’re a liar! You don’t know them!” Reynolds shakes his head, trembling with denial, and I scoff.“You killed them, and now you pretend they never existed?” I growl, my voice sharp with rage. “You’re a fucking bastard.”I drive my foot into his gut.He gasps, his face contorting in agony as he doubles over, clutching his stomach and coughing.“You can’t be their son,” he wheezes, looking up at me with wide, horrified eyes. “They’re dead. All of them. No one survived. How are you even here?”“This has to be a joke. A cruel joke,” he spits, anger taking over his confusion. “Who sent you? Why the fuck are you doing this to me?”I stare down at him, eyes dark. “How could I be dead when you’re still breathing after what you did to my family?”He freezes. Staring. Still clinging to some false hope that this is all some twisted coincidence. But it’s not. I can see it settling into his bones now, the truth.I am his nightmare.I want him to feel every ounce of

KEIRANI walk into the house with a cold glare etched on my face, a dark smirk tugging at my lips as I scan the ridiculous number of guards stationed outside.“The poor fool can’t even afford proper security anymore,” I whispered, making my way to the door without a shred of hesitation.The guards snap to attention the moment they spot me and my men silently falling into place behind me.“Who are you, and what are you doing here? Do you have an appointment?” one of them asks, stepping forward. I shrug and casually place my hand on the doorknob. Just as I’m about to push it open, a hand lands on my shoulder, and not a moment later, the air fills with the sound of pain as my guards move in, attacking them with swift, brutal efficiency.I scoff. “I wonder how much he pays you that you’re so willing to die for him,” I mutter darkly before stepping into the house.I glance around in disgust. The place looks exactly like I imagined, excessive and hollow. Then my eyes land on the man of the

KEIRAN I make sure Vaughn is well-fed and sleeping soundly before I quietly leave his room and step into mine. The weight of everything presses heavily on my shoulders, but I bury it deep. A soft knock echoes against the door.I don’t need to ask who it is. “Come in,” I call, my voice low.Bryce steps inside without hesitation, his face grim. The moment our eyes meet, I already know I won’t like what he has to say.“Boss,” he greets.I nod once and motion for him to speak. “What have you gathered so far?”He doesn’t waste time. “Your suspicion is right, boss,” he says, his voice clipped and laced with tension.I tense, bracing myself.“The accident was orchestrated by Reynolds McCarthy.”My jaw clenches so tightly I feel the muscles strain. A thick, simmering rage begins to rise inside me, curling around my ribs like a slow-burning fire. His name feels like poison in my veins.That bastard.How many times do I have to deal with his bullshit? How many lives does he get to play with b

VAUGHN“Stop acting like I’m a fucking child, I can do it myself,” I snap, snatching the cotton pad back from Kieran’s hand.He doesn't even flinch, just rolls his eyes and snatches it right back like I’m the brat throwing a tantrum. “Really?” he says, tone dripping with sarcasm. “Because two seconds ago you looked like a toddler wincing and flinching like I was about to rip your face off. Now shut up and let me do it.”I glare at him. “You are so annoying.”A slow, smug grin spreads across his face as he leans in a little closer, too pleased with himself. “And you’re adorable when you’re annoyed over the tiniest things.”“Fuck you,” I mutter, voice laced with irritation.“You wish,” he shots back, the smirk never leaving his lips. I hate how easily he turns everything into a game. Worse, I hate how my heart betrays me just a little when he leans in like that.With a gentleness that does nog match his sharp mouth, Kieran dabs the disinfectant onto the gash on my forehead. It stings l

Keiran I have never driven this fast in my whole life. I almost lost it when Bryce told me that Vaughn was involved in an accident and I was fucking confused about how that was possible. We just finished talking and the last thing that I expected was Vaughn getting into an accident. How was that even possible? He is not a careless driver. I arrive at the hospital and I rush into the building, going straight to where Bryce said he was. “Where is he?” I ask Bryce the moment I see him and he stands on seeing me. “Boss.” He calls and I smack my lips hard. I just asked him where they have kept my husband and he's addressing me by boss. That is the last thing that I want to hear. What I want to hear from him is to know how Vaughn is feeling and how brutal the accident was. “Where the fuck is Vaughn?!” My voice thunders in the hospital and some of the nurses passing by stop to look at me, but I don't fucking care. I just want to know how Vaughn is feeling. I hope he's fine and if there i

Keiran I kept grinning from ear to ear at Vaughn’s confession and I was even sure that Vaughn would soon notice that I was grinning through my mask. But I just couldn't help it. He likes me. Vaughn likes me and how do I feel about the news? Terrific! It has to be the best news that I've heard in a while. He likes me. That is good news. “You do?” I clear my throat and I look at Vaughn who slowly nods his head as he sits tiredly on the couch. He looks confused like he's not sure of his emotions yet. And do I like Vaughn as well? Fuck I do. I seriously do and I don't even realize when the feelings started. But I like him so much and there is no denying it. “Yes,” Vaughn confirms and he slowly clears his throat. “The feelings just started. I used to hate him a lot. My husband has always been my core enemy and he only married me for revenge. There was a time when we couldn't stand each other, but now, I want to see his face every day. I feel flutters in my stomach each time I look at h
Shadows Of Perfection: The Mafia’s Prey 76
Keiran I pack my car in front of Vaughn's house and as usual, there is a mask on my face. We are meeting today again, as Kye and lone wolf and I'm here to alter his suspicions that Kye and Keiran are the same. I'm not going to easily agree to go naked and even if I do, he will find nothing. I have not been home all day as I have been working on concealing my tattoos temporarily. It will seem like I don't have any of them. I take in a deep breath and after making sure that my mask is secure, I step out of my car and go straight into the house. Vaughn is already here. I suspected so. He told me that he would be spending the night elsewhere and when I asked where, he said a friend. I kept asking to know which friend and even teased him that he had no friends, but Vaughn asked me to mind my business and said that it was a long-time friend that just returned to London.“Hey.” I clear my throat, keeping my American accent and Vaughn who is sitting on the couch turns to look at me. He sta
