ROOSEVELT’S POV

The house was quiet.

I sat on the living room sofa, holding a cup of warm tea as I watched the woman across the room.

Mina was on her hands and knees, her hair was tied back in a messy knot, she held a wet cloth, scrubbing the baseboards near the fireplace.

She didn’t look up, she just scrubbed the wood intently.

    ROOSEVELT’S POVThe house was quiet.I sat on the living room sofa, holding a cup of warm tea as I watched the woman across the room.Mina was on her hands and knees, her hair was tied back in a messy knot, she held a wet cloth, scrubbing the baseboards near the fireplace.She didn’t look up, she just scrubbed the wood intently.For the past two days, this had been her entire life, she woke up before the sun, cleaned the house, washed the clothes, and kept her head down. As soon as her chores were done, she ran back down the stairs to the basement and locked herself inside.She was terrified of Zyran and was terrified of me.The doorbell suddenly rang.Mina gasped loudly, she dropped the wet cloth and scrambled backward, pressing her back against the fireplace. She pulled her knees to her chest, shaking violently."It’s just the door, Mina," I said calmly, setting my tea down. "You don’t need to hide.""I’m sorry," Mina whispered, her voice cracking as she kept her head down. "I will

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"I didn't sleep at all," Zyran whispered.I turned over in the bed, the sun was just beginning to rise. Zyran lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, his jaw was tight."You held me all night," I said softly, resting my hand on his chest."Because the devil is sleeping in our basement," Zyran growled and turned his head to look at me, his dark eyes showed worry. "I hate this, Roosevelt, I hate knowing she is under the same roof as you and Lorna.""She is locked downstairs, Zyran," I reminded him gently. "She is terrified and not a threat right now.""A snake is always a threat," Zyran said, sitting up, running his hand through his hair. "Even when it is hiding in the grass, I should have called the police.""If you called the police, the man who hurt her would find her," I replied, sitting up next to him. "I couldn't let that happen, I am a mother, Zyran, I can't just throw her away like that.""Your heart is too good for this world," Zyran sighed, kissing my forehea

    MINA’S POV"Get in," Zyran growled, pushing me roughly into the cold, damp basement room, his eyes burned with a hatred that made my chest ache."Zyran, please, it's so cold down here," I whimpered, wrapping my arms around my shivering shoulders and looking up at him with wide, tear-filled eyes."Do not speak to me, do not look at me, and do not ever say my name again," Zyran hissed as he stepped into the room, towering over me like a shadow. "You are only alive right now because my wife has a kind heart, but if it were up to me, I would have left you to rot outside.""I know, I know I deserve your anger," I sobbed, dropping my head and playing the broken victim perfectly."You deserve much worse than my anger, Mina," Zyran said, his voice dropping to a deadly whisper that echoed off the walls. "I warn you now, if you step one inch out of line, if you look at Roosevelt the wrong way, if you even breathe near my daughter, I will not call the police, i will drag you down to the river an

    ROOSEVELT’S POVThe tray hit the floor with a loud crash, sending hot water and broken porcelain flying across the hallway. I was frozen in shock, my body still as I stared at the woman on my front mat.Mina stood before me, but she didn’t resemble the arrogant, cruel woman who had tried to ruin my life five years ago, the scar that had once sliced down her cheek was gone, her skin looked smooth and flawless in the dim light of the hallway."What the hell are you doing here?" Zyran shouted, his voice tremoring with rage as he stepped back, pushing me behind his shoulders for protection. "How did you find this address? What did you do to your face?"Mina didn’t smirk or laugh as usual Instead, she let out a loud, pained sob and dropped to her knees on the floor, her hands trembling as she looked up at us with wide, terrified eyes."Please, Zyran, don’t shut the door," Mina begged, her voice cracking and breaking into a desperate one. "I know you hate me, I know I deserve it, but I have

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"She is finally asleep," I whispered, gently closing the door."She fought it for an hour," Zyran chuckled softly, leaning against the hallway wall. "She kept asking for another story.""She gets her stubbornness from you," I smiled, walking over to him."And she gets her beauty from you," Zyran said, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me close.Before he could kiss me, his phone buzzed loudly in his pocket.Zyran sighed, resting his forehead against mine. "I should throw this phone into the ocean.""Answer it," I laughed softly, stepping back. "It might be important."Zyran pulled the phone out and pressed it to his ear. "Marcus speak.""Mr. King," Marcus’s voice crackled through the speaker. "We have a situation in New York.""What kind of situation?" Zyran asked, his tone turning serious."Mateo Thompson."Zyran’s jaw tightened. "What about him?""He had a private meeting today, sir, at a highly secure club in Manhattan.""Why are you calling me about Tho

    MINA’S POVThe private elevator doors opened with a soft chime.I stepped into Mateo’s huge penthouse, my body was still a bit stiff, but the hospital treatments had worked, I could walk and I could move, the bandage on my cheek had shrunk, hiding the ugly scar underneath.Mateo walked in behind me, he dropped my small travel bag on the floor and walked straight to the glass bar in the corner of the living room and poured himself a glass of whiskey."Your room is down the hall on the left," Mateo said coldly, taking a long sip of his drink. "The doctors will come here tomorrow morning to start planning your plastic surgery."I didn’t go to my room, I stood in the middle of the empty living room."This is a very big house, Mateo," I said softly."It’s just a place to sleep," Mateo replied, not turning around. He kept his back to me, staring out the window.I watched his shoulders, he was tense, his jaw was clenched tight. He was a very handsome, very rich man, but he was completely mis
