Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 66: Broken Bonds
âMikhail's POVâSeven months later...ââThe empire never stopped moving.âShips still arrived at the docks before sunrise. Millions of dollars still crossed accounts every day. New clubs opened. New alliances formed. Old enemies disappeared. The Romanov name remained as powerful as ever.âThe world kept turning.âMine simply learned how to move with less of a purpose.âI sat behind my desk staring out at the Manhattan skyline as rain slid down the glass windows. Below me, the city pulsed with life. People hurried along sidewalks. Cars crawled through traffic. Somewhere out there, millions of stories were unfolding.âAnd yet mine felt frozen.âWork had become easier than thinking.âThinking led to memories.âMemories led to Nora.âAnd Nora still had the ability to unravel me without even being in the same state.âThere were nights when I woke convinced I had heard her voice.âSleep had become a luxury months ago.âNobody commented on the exhaustion beneath my eyes anymore.âIt had bec
Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 65: Sweet Moments
âNora's POVâ7 Months later...ââThe bell above the bakery door chimed as another customer walked in, and I looked up automatically with a smile already on my face. The morning rush had been relentless, but I couldn't find it in myself to complain. My life had been controlled by fear, secrets, bloodshed, and men who lived in a world I never should have been dragged into. Now my biggest concern was whether we'd run out of cinnamon rolls before noon. It felt almost laughable.âThe bakery was thriving.âI had thought of what to use the money Aleksei had given to us to invest in. Then I thought of a bakery. I had always loved baking since I was little...the fresh smell of bread and cake batter filling the air. It was refreshing, and it worked! I had successfully started up the business with Lola and Elia's help. It was a struggle at first, but we made it work.âSome days, it was so busy that Lola and I barely had time to sit down. We had hired two employees last month, and even then the
Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 64: No Regrets
âMikhail's POVâI woke up feeling like death. For several seconds, I lay motionless on the bed staring at the ceiling, my mind blank and my body heavy from the alcohol coursing through my system. Then reality returned all at once. Nora. Houston. Gone. The ache hit immediately, sharp and merciless, squeezing around my chest until breathing felt like work. My throat felt dry enough to crack, my head pounded with every beat of my heart, and the half-empty whiskey bottle sitting on my nightstand explained exactly why. I groaned and pushed myself upright, instantly regretting it when the room tilted slightly. "Fuck." Pressing my palms against my eyes, I tried to steady myself. Sometime after Nora left yesterday, I had drunk myself into oblivion. I remembered standing in the foyer watching her walk away. Remembered the sound of the front door closing behind her. Remembered the unbearable silence afterward. Everything beyond that was whiskey, anger, and grief.âDragging myself out of bed, I
Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 63: Forgiveness
âMikhailâs POVThe mansion had never been this quiet before.âNot even after deaths.âNot after funerals.âNot after bloodshed.âThis silence was different.âIt felt hollow.âRotting.âLike the entire house had finally become what Nora always called it from the very beginning.âA cage.âThe flowers in the living room had died days ago. Nobody bothered replacing them anymore. The roses I once filled the mansion with for her had withered into dark brittle things before the maids finally threw them away. Even the marble halls felt colder now, stripped of the warmth her presence unknowingly brought into them.âI spent most days locked inside my office.âWhen I was not working, I was drinking.âAnd when I was not drinking, I was staring at the ceiling unable to sleep because every time I closed my eyes, I saw blood soaking through Noraâs clothes while she cried about our baby.âOur baby.âEven now, two weeks later, the words still carved through me like glass.âThe whiskey burned going dow
Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 62: Emptiness
âNoraâs POVââPain wakes me first.âNot sharp.âNot violent.âJust deep.âHeavy.âLike my entire body has been hollowed out and stitched back together wrong.âMy eyelids feel too heavy to open at first. My throat burns like sandpaper and every breath tastes sterile and cold. Somewhere nearby, machines beep steadily in slow repetitive patterns.âI force my eyes open.âLight floods my vision instantly, making me wince.âEverything is blurry at first.âWhite ceiling.âSoft gray walls.âA large window with pale morning light bleeding through the curtains.âIt takes several seconds for my vision to fully adjust before I realize I am lying in a hospital bed.âPrivate room.âPrivate wing.âOf course.âRomanov money could probably buy an entire hospital if they wanted.âMy head turns slightly.âFlowers.âSo many flowers.âBouquets cover nearly every available surface in the room. White roses. Lilies. Orchids. Expensive arrangements tied with silk ribbons. Cards rest beside them, some handwri
Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 61: Hopeless
âNoraâs POVââThe SUV flies down the highway like a bullet ripping through darkness.âEverything shakes.âThe engine screams beneath us while the driver fights the wheel with both hands. Trees blur past the windows in streaks of black and gray. Rain from earlier still clings to the road, making every sharp turn feel like we are seconds away from death.âBehind us, headlights remain locked on our tail.âMikhail.âI can feel him even before I see him again.âRelentless.âViktor grips my arm tighter as another gunshot cracks through the night.âThe rear of the SUV jerks violently.ââFaster!â Viktor snaps.ââWe are losing the tire!â the driver yells back.âAnother shot rings out.âThen another.âThe fourth bullet destroys the tire completely.âThe explosion is deafening.âThe SUV swerves hard.âEverything happens at once.âThe driver loses control instantly. Tires screech against wet asphalt as the vehicle fishtails across the highway. My shoulder slams painfully into the door while Vikt
Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 5: Bound To The Devil
âMikhailâs POVâThe SUV hummed through the city streets, the engineâs low growl the only sound breaking the suffocating silence. Nora sat plastered against the far door, her body rigid, as if touching the leather seat next to me would poison her. Her bag clutched in her lap like a shield, her eyes
Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 4: You'd Think The Devil Has Horns
âNoraâs POV âThe air in the apartment felt thick, like it was choking me. Mikhail Romanov sat on our sagging couch, legs crossed, his blonde hair catching the dim light, those sharp blue eyes boring into my soul. Handsome as the devil, but a devil all the same. His leather coat draped over him lik

âMikhailâs POVâDawn crept over the city like a thief, gray light bleeding through the skyline. I hadnât sleptâIngridâs visit last night was a fleeting escape, but that fiery waitress from the club still haunted me. Her face, her nerve, the way sheâd flung that drink like I was just some prick in h
Under The Devil's Eyes    Chapter 2: Firecracker
âMikhail's POVâThe splash hit like a grenadeâcold, sticky, and utterly audacious. Red wine splattered across my face, dripping down my jaw, soaking my tailored shirt with a fruity tang that mocked my dignity. I blinked through the sting, tasting the sharp bite on my lips, and locked eyes with the
