Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 73: A Hitman In Love
INGRID.For a moment, I simply stared at the black duffel bag sitting beside my mother.My heart gave an almost childish little jump.She actually did it.She actually brought the money.I looked up at her, ready to see the smug satisfaction of someone who had just saved my life, but instead, I found something else in her eyes.Fear.Not fear of me.Fear for me.Her gaze moved slowly over my body, taking in the bloodstained clothes, my bruised wrists, the dirt covering my bare feet and finally, my hair.I almost forgot about it.My blonde hair had always been one of the few things I took pride in. Now it was tangled into thick, matted clumps, with strands stuck together by dried blood.My mother's lips parted.“Oh, Ingrid…”I rolled my eyes.“Don't.”She ignored me.“Oh my God, look at you.”“Mother.”She stood up so quickly that the chair scraped against the floor.“What did they do to you?”“Nothing I couldn't handle.”
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 72: The Weight Of What We Leave Behind.
The Weight Of What We Leave BehindNORA’S POVTWO DAYS LATER…I found myself sitting on a wooden bench in the middle of the local park, watching strangers with my cardigan draped around my shoulders. I was waiting for Maxim’s arrival.I spotted a little girl chasing a butterfly while her mother watched her. An elderly couple sat beneath a large willow tree. They looked cute together. Makes me wonder how my life would turn out when I grow old.Everything around me felt…normal. Painfully normal. And I hated it. A part of me was telling me to back out. That there was no point in listening to whatever he had to say. But another part of me really wanted to know why. I had chosen this place deliberately. After speaking to Cole this morning, I had decided that if I was going to meet Maxim, I’d rather do so in public. I needed to know that I could walk away when it gets too overwhelming without feeling guilty. I needed to feel like I still had control over the situation.Cole had agreed wit
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 71: In Too Deep
(SHORT DISCLAIMER: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT🔞)LOLA'S POV.🔞I love you.The words still hung between us in the middle of my living room, heavy and real. Aleksei’s hands stayed on my face, thumbs brushing the edges of my cheekbones like he was trying to memorize the shape of me. His eyes were darker than usual, pupils blown wide, and for a second I thought he might pull away again, the way he always did when things got too close. Instead he kissed me harder, mouth open and hungry, and the low sound he made against my lips went straight through me.I pushed at his chest, not hard enough to stop him, just enough to walk him backward until the backs of his knees hit the couch. He sat without protest, watching me with that sharp, focused look that always made my stomach flip. I climbed into his lap, knees on either side of his thighs, and felt the solid heat of him through his jeans. My nightshirt had ridden up; the bare skin of my thighs pressed against the rough de
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 70: All The Things We Never Said
THIRD PERSON POVNORAThe first thing Nora remembered when she opened her eyes the next morning was the memories of yesterday flooding in.She groaned in discomfort as she rolled on the bed, trying to block the sunlight from her face.The second thing that came to her mind was that he was alive.Maxim Romanov was alive.And he was coming to Houston soon.Nora stared at the ceiling, completely still as yesterday's memories came rushing back. The bakery.

Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 69: An Unexpected Visitor
Nora's POVThe morning rush at the bakery was always my favorite.By eight in the morning, the place was already filled with the smell of freshly baked bread, cinnamon rolls, buttercream and coffee, with the soft hum of conversations blending with the occasional ringing of the little bell above the entrance. Sunlight poured through the large windows at the front, making the glass display cases sparkle as customers moved from one pastry to another, trying to decide what they wanted. I stood behind the counter with a smile plastered across my face as I handed a small paper bag to the young girl standing in front of me. She couldn't have been more than sixteen, her cheer uniform slightly wrinkled and a backpack hanging from one shoulder.“Here's your strawberry croissant and iced chocolate.”Her face immediately brightened.“Thank you!”“You're welcome. Have a good day.”She smiled before turning toward the door.And then the bell rang again.I looked up.
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 68: Hell Hath No Fury Than A Woman Scorned
THIRD PERSON POVBLACKRIDGE WOMEN'S MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON,RUSSIA...The first thing Ingrid did when she returned to her cell was smile.Not the crazed smile she had given her mother before the guards dragged her away. This one was quieter. Almost thoughtful. She sat on the edge of the narrow metal bed, her back pressed against the cold wall as she stared at the small rectangular window high above her head. The bars cast thin shadows across the concrete floor, and somewhere beyond them, she could hear the distant clang of metal doors opening and closing. Footsteps echoed through the corridor. Guards shouted orders. Inmates cursed. Somewhere, someone was crying. It was the usual soundtrack of the prison. To most people, it would have sounded like hell. To Ingrid, it sounded like music now. She slowly lowered her eyes to the floor and began tapping her fingers against her knee. Five hundred thousand dollars. She already knew exactly how much of it she needed and where every dollar w
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 4: You'd Think The Devil Has Horns
Nora’s POV The 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
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 3: Blue Eyed Devil
Mikhail’s POVDawn crept over the city like a thief, gray light bleeding through the skyline. I hadn’t slept—Ingrid’s visit last night was a fleeting escape, but that fiery waitress from the club still haunted me. Her face, her nerve, the way she’d flung that drink like I was just some prick in h
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 2: Firecracker
Mikhail's POVThe splash hit like a grenade—cold, 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
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 1 When Life Gives You Lemons
I wiped the sweat from my brow with the back of my hand, the bitter scent of espresso clinging to my skin like a second layer. The clock above the counter ticked mercilessly toward 4 p.m., mocking my aching feet and the endless loop of "one more hour" I'd been chanting in my head. Downtown's hustl
