Leon gave me a look that had a mix of anger, disgust, irritation, and one other thing I couldn’t even place my finger on. It was like his whole face was fighting itself, like he wanted to snap at me but something held him back. He looked like he wanted to say something but he suddenly changed his mind and kept quiet.

Then he leaned closer to me, so close that I immediately leaned back, my body moving on its own. My face suddenly felt hot with my ears burning. The way he stared at me… it wasn’t

  • The Devil Owns Me Now   Chapter 178

    Lara’s POVI didn’t expect Vakrez to answer the questions that I had concerning Leon but to my surprise, he started talking. “Well, Leon's a real smart guy and I've been keeping an eye on him, you know, keeping tabs and all since what happened to your brother and right now, all he cares about is his business. I think he has stuff going on there that keeps him busy day and night. I don't know if your brother mentioned it, but he's married, sort of but not really living like a married man. Him and his wife? They hardly ever show up together anywhere. My men say he doesn't even stay in the same house as her. It's caused a bunch of headaches for her dad, that old man started throwing a lot of fits but like I said, Leon is very smart. He straight-up told his father-in-law to back off and mind his own business because under the law, he’sher husband and she goes by what he says, unless she kicks up a fuss. And unfortunately for the father, his daughter doesn't mind Leon’s behaviour at all

  • The Devil Owns Me Now   Chapter 177

    Lara’s POVMy mum shook her head slowly, her face all sad and lined with worry. The lines around her eyes were deeper than yesterday. “I don't know, sweetie but maybe you could talk to him since the both of you have become close since he came back. You’re literally closer than me and him right now. He might open up to you and tell you what's eating at him inside.”I nodded, closing my eyes for a second, the weight of it all pressing on my chest. “Okay, Mum. I'll do it right now, i’ll talk to Ronan but please, stop stressing so much. You're going to make yourself sick. Everything's going to be okay, I promise.” I pulled her into a hug again. She felt small in my arms, her shoulders tense but I held on till she relaxed a little, then let go. “Ronan's not in his room, so he's probably in the living room watching something. I'll go and find him. But you should go and rest and also, don’t worry about anything, okay?”I gave her a stern look, like she was a kid, and she managed a small sm

  • The Devil Owns Me Now   Chapter 176

    “It's Christmas eve and I plan to cook some food so I can't sleep yet.” My mum said smiling but it was weak and didn't reach her eyes. I could tell that it was also forced. I pulled back to look at her. “I've told you over and over, you don't need to bother. We have a chef that can come here to cook and she can handle it. Also, it's just us. Why do you need to cook?”She shrugged, sipping her coffee. “I haven't spent Christmas with you for a long time and now you’re home. I know Russia’s version isn't the same. It is always cold and gloomy and doesn't have that warm family feel.”I nodded because she was right. I missed spending Christmas with my family. We had flown in a week ago and Vakrez grumbled about the travel, but he came for me. I had to also come because of my brother. He needed me, after all the drama with Leon.My mum set her mug down. “It'll be just us this time around but some neighbors might pop by to probably just drop off cookies or something. Ronan won't mind a fe

  • The Devil Owns Me Now   Chapter 175

    Leon’s POVAll I needed right now was a way out of this mess of a marriage I was in. It was all fucked up and I had to fix it without starting a war between her family and mine. My dad was a huge problem on his own. He was powerful and scary as hell. Kael was safe from him for the moment, but if shit went south, I'd be the one he came after and would be blamed for everything.I couldn't forget Ronan was also a boy, a man. If I tried to claim him as mine on my island, my dad would find out because there’s no way I could hide it from him forever.I couldn't even be open about us without giving Dad a reason to go after him. He could set Ronan up easily, get him killed or make him vanish. My dad had that kind of power and connections everywhere. He had money that bought silence and bodies. I had to be smart in everything I would be doing concerning me and Ronan. I had to be very careful and think about every step before I carried them out. There was so much shit to handle and obstacles w

  • The Devil Owns Me Now   Chapter 174

    Leon’s POVGod, his ass was so perfect and tight around me, milking my cock. I missed that so much, I missed holding him after, his head on my chest.But secrets, my secrets, the real me, the dark things that I’ve done….if Ronan should find out about them, he wouldn't understand. He'd judge me…and never want to see me in his life again. My dad's voice echoed in my head as I took another sip. “Be a man, straight and strong.” But I wasn't, not with Ronan. He made me want and crave him in ways that made my cock get hard just thinking about it. I stood up and paced the room back and forth. The alcohol was finished in my glass so I grabbed the bottle and drank straight out of it, wincing as it burned my throat. What if I went to him? Knocked on his door, take him back and fuck all the pain we were both feeling away. I pinched the bridge of my nose and let out a long sigh, enough of this crap, Leon, just enough. If these feelings were supposed to fade, they would've by now. But why th

  • The Devil Owns Me Now   Chapter 173

    Leon’s POVRonan's words kept playing in my head over and over again. I took a big swig of the whiskey in my glass and I didn't even know how many bottles I'd gone through by now. I was so tired, both in my head and in my body. I just wanted this drink to wash away everything I felt. I couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried and I kept telling myself I didn't know why, but deep down, I knew, I knew that it was because of him, Ronan.It was probably around 2 a.m, the worst time to be drinking like this. But I'd gotten to a point where I didn't give a damn. The way I was raised, it wasn't right to drink by this time. Hell, my dad thought it wasn't right for us to drink at all. My dad tried to raise me and Kael to be the best sons and decent guys but we weren't even close to being decent. Kael was bad, real bad. And me? I was just as messed up. There was this deep secret between us. It ate at me, especially since Ronan came into my life. I started feeling guilty about stuff I used to
