I turned my face instantly, refusing to look at Leon, my body reacting on its own but of course, that only irritated him more. His hand left my wrist to my jaw, gripping it tightly and forcing my head around until I was staring straight into his eyes.

“What exactly were you trying to do?” Leon asked, his voice low and deadly. “Were you trying to steal something? Hide here? Sleep here? Come to kill me? Or…” His thumb brushed over my lower lip slowly. “Were you trying to see how far you could pus

    Ronan’s POV“What the hell, Mum!?” I jumped up, my voice shaking. “How could you tell a stranger about everything that is going on with me!? About my life and my pain!? How could you!? You didn't even ask me! Don't I get a say in my own life again!? Why make me feel like a kid with no control!? Why are you making everything much worse for me!?”My dad shot up from his chair, immediately, his face turning red. “How dare you call your father a stranger!” he yelled, pointing his finger at me. I scoffed, crossing my arms. “You're calling yourself my father!? What right do you have to call yourself one in the first place!? Who are you to even look me in the eye and call yourself my father when I never had one, didn’t grow up without and never talked to one my whole life! You're a hypocrite by showing up here and then acting like you care! This is bullshit!” I spat the words out, hot anger burning in my throat. I didn’t even wait for him to speak before I turned and bolted upstairs, slamm

    Ronan's POVI fought hard to drag myself out of bed that morning because it was Christmas day, yeah and because it was supposed to be full of joy and fun but my body felt heavy, like there were heavy weights on my limbs. I could hear everyone downstairs, their footsteps thumping, their voices chatting low and their laughs here and there. My mum's voice sounded high and excited, as she talked to one of our neighbours at the door but I didn't need to be told that it was all fake. There would be a lot of fake smiles here and there from a lot of people this christmas and honestly, I wasn’t ready to face that.The smell of breakfast wafted up my nose, tempting me to go downstairs but all I just wanted to burrow under the covers and hide from everyone and pretend the world's not spinning without Leon in my life. My chest ached thinking of him, a dull throb that never quit.There was no way I could stay holed up in my room forever, though, because my mum would soon come knocking on my doo

    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

    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

    “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

    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
