Inheritance of ruin

Kieran's pov. I haven't been in this room since my mother died. It contained so many memories I didn't want to remember — my father's warmth and my grandfather's psychological grooming. I haven't been on this side of the mansion for a long time. So seeing the room that practically knew all my secret made me stop. A part of me wanted to go in and relive the good memories I had — the human part of me. But I was sure the monster in me would burn that room to nothing if I go in alone. Making it look like it was Michelle's idea was the only way I could get her to come with, without looking like a fool. Curse my selfish human desires. But honestly, without that tiny little fragment, I would have been worse than my grandfather. And he was considered the worst Castellan that ever lived. “Wow,” Michelle said, looking around like a child visiting Disneyland for the first time. “Your room is...” “Big for a child?” I completed, using two fingers to touch the dusty table.“I was going to sa

The wrong kind of desire.

Michelle's pov. I quickly walked out the room, my breathing still unsteady from the little massage Kieran gave me. I took the picture to break the whatever was going on, but it only ended up traumatizing me. How could he talk about his father with a straight face like that?I can't even talk about my father without crying. Kieran was besides me in seconds. “Well, that was a waste of time,” he said, tucking his hands in his pockets. I turned to him, holding my heels tightly. “You have a talent of effortlessly leaving people speechless, don't you?” “What can I say?” He shrugged, his lips curled downwards. “It's not my fault I was created differently.” I couldn't help but laugh. And he was right. He was created differently.We explored the corners for the next thirty minutes. Or more. He kept showing me different rooms and stories about them. Showed me some artifacts and their history. I kept nodding my head like a student who understood what she was being taught. But my mind was

She was already inside.

Michelle's pov. I walked up the stairs, holding the railing like a life support. Dinner was awkward. Kieran and I sat silently, forcing a smile each time our eyes met. Lana was there too. She seemed to have noticed the rising tension between us, because she wouldn't stop staring at me like that was the first time she was seeing me.I had to leave the table before I reveal anything to her — which I was sure she already knew everything. I walked quietly to the room, my body moving out of habit while my thoughts drowned somewhere back in the pool.I almost regretted not kissing him. It was so tempting, yet so forbidden. Months back I always found myself to leave this mansion. And now that God have finally answered that prayer — which was the first prayer he has granted — I found myself wishing to stay. Praying to the woman besides Kieran Castellan. It’s terrifying how someone you hated can become your entire world… and you only realize it when it’s already too late.I got to the roo

I know what I saw

Michelle's pov. The moment I told Kieran what had happened, he was out with every single staff in the house. I've never seen him move so fast. And everyone knew Kieran was a quick man. I stayed in the room, watching the maids move around, from my room. They scanned the bushes, the hidden spaces... everywhere. But there was no sigh of Mira. I didn't tell him about Mira. I couldn't. And he didn't even give me the chance to. The moment the words — attacked me — left my mouth, Kieran took me to the room and asked some maids to look after me. And he was out, searching the compound like he was looking for pin in the bushes. I watched quietly from my room, playing with the hem of my nightgown. The bathroom incident still playing in my head. I couldn't believe Mira, who I so much trusted was just another double-sided bitch. Seriously, what kind of people are around Kieran? I know you attract what you are, but this was easy too much. I'm convinced everyone in this house just wants m

Not the one.

Michelle's pov. Lana was lying on the floor in her own pool of blood, flowing from the back of her head. I stopped few steps away, unable to process the scene before me. Kieran rushed to her side, checked for a pulse and looked up. “A faint pulse.” He carried her in his arms. “We need to get her to the hospital. Now.”The people moved immediately. I didn't.My legs were glued to the floor, staring at the pool of blood on the floor like it was some kind confirmation. By the time, my brain had fully processed everything, I was the only one left in the hallway. I turned and quickly walked back to my room. And here I was pretending to be the victim, while Lana bled to death. Seriously, who is that person? It looks like Kieran knows that person — not the identity — but he knows damn well that someone who is dangerous enough to move in and out of the mansion without being seen was lurking around. Why didn't Kieran tell me about that? Why did he decide to keep an information that co

The missing hour.

Kieran's pov. I sat in my office, the chair rotating lazily beneath me. My eyes were locked on the scattered documents across my desk, jaw clenched, a finger digging into my cheek as tension coiled tight inside me.That Castellan had guts, I'll give him that. He might have the daredevil blood running through his veins, but he was no way as ruthless as a true Castellan who has lived their entire life within the walls of our territory.Coward. That's all he is. He knew he couldn't face me so he infiltrated into the mansion, acting as my servant, and somehow had the guts to go after Michelle. When I finally get that bastard, I'm going to give him the most gruesome, but slow death, that even God would look away. The door opened and Mira walked in, behind her was a detective Adrian's father hired for me. She led inside and walked out. Adrian's father looked and acted gentle in public, but that man has more skeletons in his cupboard than my grandfather. My grandfather's crime were kno

Presidential suite confession.

Michelle's pov. Royal Meridian Suites festivals was one of the biggest festivals in the world. Different celebrities from all around the world performed at their concerts, and if you were lucky enough you could get a free VIP meet with some celebrities. Sarah and I used to sleep around so we can get pictures of celebrities as they come into the hotel. Since we weren't rich or had enough money to buy a pass, we had to stay outside and pray for a celebrity to grace the peasants with a beautiful picture. I never thought I’d one day be walking through a hotel during such a special occasion—let alone staying in the presidential suite.Who ever said money cannot solve all your problems should be hanged on s tree. “Thank you very much,” I smiled, taking my bag from the attendant. Kieran tipped the man and shut the door behind us. “Kieran, I'll hug you right now if I wasn't so sure I could do that without strangling you.” He made a faint amused sound. “You look very excited. This isn't

An old enemy.

Michelle's pov. I stared at Kieran, trying not to react to the butterflies fluttering in my stomach. The word was simple, but strong enough to pause my world. I didn't move even after he left the couch. I couldn't. My body was still in shock. He came back with two glasses of champagne, and handed me a glass. That was when my brain went back to the play button. I took the glass and gulped the content in one go. I placed the glass on the table, rubbing the lump in my neck. “Are you okay?” He asked. “You look all sweaty.” he sat down beside me, taking a sip of his wine. “Me?” I said quickly, pointing at my chest. “No. No, I'm fine,” I swiped the sweat off my face, and cleaned my hand on my dress. He stared at me with a look that said he didn't buy it.“Good night.” I quickly got up and rushed to the room. Once again, I've succeeded in making fun of myself in front of Kieran. He just said one word, and that word was enough to destabilise and rearrange my life in seconds. Why the

A warning served cold.

Kieran's pov. I pulled his hand away, and twisted it so hard that I could hear his bone cracked. He tried to break free from my grip, but it his pain ass face made my blood boil, and I twisted it harder. “Fuck!” He screamed, his shoulder bent to the the side. People had shifted their attention to us, but I did not care less. Damien just touched my woman. I don't know how much I can stress this — touch my property and see how fast I can erase your existence. Michelle rushed to my side, placing her little hand on mine. “Just let him go,” she pleaded. “People are staring.” I don't fucking care. And I dare any security to try and separate us. “Let go of him!” Sarah's irritating voice came from behind. She walked to my front, her eyes burning with rage. “Let him go before I call security.” I really wanted to see what they would do. “Kieran—” Michelle called again, but her mother who had been behind me, dragged her aside. “Let go of me,” Damien's face twisted in agony. And what I c

Three days left.

Michelle's pov. “What are you doing?” I asked my mother immediately Kieran walked away. “Why are you bent on making my life difficult?”“I'm making your life better, honey,” she grinned, taking up a sip of her tea, her eyes raised above the cup. “You're not.” “Michelle,” she set the cup down. “I understand you just want to leave the Castellan family because of Damien—”“He's a Deveareux,” I corrected her almost easily. She froze, giving he a weird look. “Sure, that,” she nodded. “But that's not the point.” It's not. I don't know what I was thinking. Why the hell would i even say that? “That man,” she jerked her thumb towards the direction Kieran left. “Might not be the dream man, but he saved your fucking ass. And he likes you.” First, he's everyone dream man. Have you seen how that guy look? He's fucking handsome and has a lot of money. Who will be stupid enough to reject him. And secondly, Kieran does not like me. Even if he is — which will be weird— it doesn't change the fa
