Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 63: Forgiveness
Mikhail’s POVThe mansion had never been this quiet before.Not even after deaths.Not after funerals.Not after bloodshed.This silence was different.It felt hollow.Rotting.Like the entire house had finally become what Nora always called it from the very beginning.A cage.The 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.I spent most days locked inside my office.When I was not working, I was drinking.And 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 Nora’s clothes while she cried about our baby.Our baby.Even now, two weeks later, the words still carved through me like glass.The whiskey burned going dow
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 62: Emptiness
Nora’s POVPain wakes me first.Not sharp.Not violent.Just deep.Heavy.Like my entire body has been hollowed out and stitched back together wrong.My 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.I force my eyes open.Light floods my vision instantly, making me wince.Everything is blurry at first.White ceiling.Soft gray walls.A large window with pale morning light bleeding through the curtains.It takes several seconds for my vision to fully adjust before I realize I am lying in a hospital bed.Private room.Private wing.Of course.Romanov money could probably buy an entire hospital if they wanted.My head turns slightly.Flowers.So many flowers.Bouquets 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
Nora’s POVThe SUV flies down the highway like a bullet ripping through darkness.Everything shakes.The 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.Behind us, headlights remain locked on our tail.Mikhail.I can feel him even before I see him again.Relentless.Viktor grips my arm tighter as another gunshot cracks through the night.The rear of the SUV jerks violently.“Faster!” Viktor snaps.“We are losing the tire!” the driver yells back.Another shot rings out.Then another.The fourth bullet destroys the tire completely.The explosion is deafening.The SUV swerves hard.Everything happens at once.The 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 60: Lockdown II
Nora’s POVThe room smells like metal, dust, and old rain trapped inside concrete.I sit tied to the chair exactly where Lucien left me, my wrists raw from struggling too long against ropes that refuse to loosen. The bulb above me flickers every few seconds, throwing weak yellow light across the walls before dimming again. Time drags strangely here. Every minute feels stretched thin and uneven.At some point, exhaustion settles into my bones so deeply that even fear becomes tiring.But my mind never stops.It keeps circling the same things over and over again.My parents.The accident.Mikhail.The pregnancy I still have not spoken aloud.My stomach twists painfully at the thought of it. I press my bound hands tighter against the chair behind me and force myself not to think about it. I cannot afford to break now. Not here.The door opens again.Lucien walks in carrying a glass of water. Calm. Composed. Like he is visiting someone instead of holding them captive.He crou
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 59: Lockdown I
Mikhail’s POVThe first hour after Nora disappears is the worst because I still believe I can fix it quickly.People like me are used to control. We pull strings, move pieces, make calls and things happen. Doors open. Men appear. Problems disappear. That is how my world works. It has always worked that way.But not tonight.Tonight every lead collapses into another dead end, every answer arrives half broken, and the longer she stays missing, the louder the thoughts become.She was alone.That thought keeps circling back like a blade dragged repeatedly across skin.Alone.No guards. No escort. No protection.I should have known she would run the moment things became too heavy. I should have seen it in the way she looked at me after the warehouse, after Caleb talked, after every ugly truth crawled into the light. There had been distance in her eyes. Something retreating from me inch by inch.And I let her walk out anyway.The SUV tears through the city while Aleksei works be
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 58: The Truth
Nora’s POV,Unknown Location...Pain wakes me.Slow.Thick.Like I’m swimming up through tar.My head pounds.My mouth is dry.My limbs—Heavy.Too heavy.I try to move.Metal clinks.My eyes snap open.Darkness.Not complete.Dim light flickers from somewhere above—yellow, weak, unstable.I blink.Force my vision to focus.Concrete walls.Bare.Cold.A single bulb swinging slightly from the ceiling.I’m sitting on a chair.No, strapped to it.Wrists bound behind me.Ankles tied.Rope.Tight enough to burn.Panic surges instantly.Sharp.Violent.I jerk against the restraints.Useless.“Easy.”The voice comes from the shadows.Male.Calm.Familiar in the worst way.My heart stutters.“No…” I whisper.A figure steps forward.And the world tilts.“Hello, Nora.”Lucien.He looks… composed.Untouched.Like he didn’t just rip me out of my life and drag me into a nightmare.My chest heaves.“You—”“So many questions in those eyes,” he says
Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 26: Beautiful Beginnings
Nora' POV We stumble through Caleb’s front door giggling like an idiot, one heel already lost somewhere between his car and his porch.The charity ball was a champagne-soaked blur of chandeliers and fake smiles, and the only thing keeping me upright is Caleb’s arm around my waist and his stupid

Mikhail’s POVHouston, Texas,I see her before she sees me.One heartbeat.That’s all it takes for the last two years to collapse into nothing.She’s standing near the marble staircase in an emerald dress that clings to every curve I once memorized with my mouth.Hair longer, sun-kissed at

Under The Devil's Eyes Chapter 23: Broken Confession
Nora’s POV.Railway Station Lot:I couldn’t feel my body anymore.Only the cold metal of the gun barrel digging into my sternum and the white-hot agony in Mikhail’s eyes.He had just shown me the photographs.Me at a café with Lucien Hayes.Elias at the bar with the same man.My voice on a
