The devil learned to love.

Michelle's pov. Kieran's face remained still. No expression. Nothing. I almost felt stupid for making it sound like it was some big deal. I forced a tight smile, and turned to walk around him. Suddenly, his hand grabbed mine, his grip hard enough to break my bones if I move too much. “You're hurting me, Kieran,” I winched, look down at his hand. “Let go of me.” He pulled me back to my former spot, expression calm, but eyes burning with something that looked like rage. Looked like. “What the hell do you mean?” “The contract is ending tomorrow,” I repeated, trying to keep my voice steady — which I failed badly.He didn't say anything. I groaned loudly, trying to free myself from his grip. My strength couldn't actually do much, but it was enough to remind him that he was holding a fragile human not a stone. “The contract was one year,” I continued. “And it's already a year. So I'm leaving.” “I don't remember having such conversation,” he frowned. “It's written on paper,” I said

Twelve months of chaos.

Kieran's pov. The ride back to the mansion was one of the longest I've ever had. Literally the longest. Michelle sat quietly, beside me, her eyes fixed on the window. Last night felt like a stab. While I was planning to seal our relationship, she was planning to leave. Life's a bitch, isn't it?I don't resent her — even though she made me fucking soft. She had a valid reason to leave. My world wasn't exactly the right place for her, and if I actually care for her the way I said I did, I'll let her go. Fuck. This was all just messed up. I can't believe I'm actually letting her go. She was the first person I'd ever wanted to hold on to, and yet somehow she was the only one I actually cared about to let go. How confusing was that. I looked at her, my fingers wrapping around the steering wheel like it had personally offended me. This was all my fault. I told myself. I never actually saw anything wrong with my dysfunctional life until she came into my life, and now that life has co

The returning ghost

Kieran's pov. I stared at the documents in my hands in disbelief. How the hell did Damien get any of this? No, how the hell did he even know of this?“So brother, do you want to talk?” I squeezed the documents into a ball, and stretched it out to Adrian. He pulled out a lighter, flipped it on, and set the paper on fire. I watched the paper burning on my hand, ignoring the heat and pain. I didn't let go until the fire had consumed most of it. Damien watched everything with a smug smile. “There's more where those things came from.”“Paul was too scared to face me himself?” I frowned. He scoffed, his face twisting with a mixture of disbelief and disgust. “That old prick have nothing on me.” He slowly got up, wincing a little. But the pain on his face quickly dissolve into a mischievous grin. “I let that man play his card knowing fully well that he was going to fail. Now it's my turn.” His voice dropped. “And trust me, I'm not going to fail.” “Is that why you killed Tami?” Adrian

Blood on his hand.

Michelle's pov. I couldn't wait anymore. Damien was the last person I expected to see her, and something tells me he came for war. Adrian followed too. He pushed the door opened, and stepped in, fists clenched that his knuckles turned white. I followed behind him, my eyes locked with Damien who was seated on the floor with a smug smile like he had won something. I looked at Kieran. He looked tensed. I knew at once that this was more serious that I thought. Adrian moved to Damien, grabbed him by the collar, and raised him up like he weighed nothing. “What do you think you are doing?” He growled, eyes burning with rage. I was sure he was fighting back the urge to pick up the fruit knife on the table and stab him in the eye. And that's if he needs the fucking knife. “Me?” Damien chuckled darkly. “Simply catching up with my brother. We were talking about my step mother.” His eyes moved to me. “Kieran's mother.” Adrian let out a low growl, and threw Damien across the room. “Show s

The silence of a killer.

Author's pov. Adrian fingers around Damien's collar tightly, anger rushing through his veins. “You lying scum,” he growled. Damien's lips curved into a wicked smile as his eyes moved to Kieran. “I'm pretty sure Kieran says otherwise.” “He's lying, Adrian,” Michelle added. “Do not listen to that prick.” Adrian pulled Damien closer, his hot breath on his face, voice dropping into a dangerous whisper. “You must have a lot of nerves coming in here to accuse Kieran like that. And using the worst way possible. You must have really gone nuts.” “C'mon Adrian, have you ever wondered why your father never found the killer till date.” He looked back at Kieran. “It wasn't just because he was good in covering his tracks. It was because he was always close.” Adrian's anger slowly dissolved into confusion. He glanced at Kieran. Then laughed. “Kieran would never dare to do such a thing.” “That's not the information that got to me.” Michelle slowly turned to Kieran. She stared him with a mixtu

She left.

Michelle's pov. I couldn't believe what had just happened. How could Kieran do that? How could he kill Adrian's grandmother? And he still had the guts to be friends with him like he didn't just take something important to Adrian. I felt my heart breaking into thousands pieces. I still trust Kieran. I know he wouldn’t have done that without a reason. I know he was struggling to keep the monster inside him in check. I know there was another reason behind his actions. But the least Kieran could have done was feel guilty — even if only a little.But he didn't. Instead, he looked like a man who was proud of what he did, and would keep doing it. No, I expected better from Kieran. I tried to go after Adrian, but he walked so fast that I was sure he had left the mansion before I could get far. I went back to my room, shut the door, and lay on the bed. I was supposed to be packing my things, but instead I'm right here contemplating if what just happened was real or a cruel prank. Seri

Going back to Kieran.

Michelle's POV It has been two days since I left the mansion, and I had not heard anything from that place. Except a reporter who publicly announced the news of Damien's return, but as the chairman of the Castellan group. And it has been two days of leaving in constant fear. I still couldn't believe that Lana, the one I thought loved Kieran so much that she tried to kill me, twice, was actually working for Damien. It just didn't make any sense. So she was never truly in love with Kieran, and just wanted to remove any threat to their plan. I wanted to tell Kieran about it, but I was too scared to pick up the damn phone. And I had to change my number because Damien wouldn't stop sending threats message, asking me to come back. He insisted that if I don't come back and become, and I quote, his mistress, he would make Kieran's life very unbearable. I would have ignored him believing that Kieran can handle any situation. But right now, that seemed impossible, given that his most tr

Closure.

Kieran's POV. I don't blame Michelle for leaving. She had so many reasons to leave. And besides, no one would want after finding out what I'm actually capable of. Except Mira. Honestly, I have been more amused by her loyalty. Even after she found out that I killed Adrian's grandmother, she still chose me. So I had her by my side. And soon Michelle. I couldn't contain my excitement to have Michelle back. Her news of her returned was the only good news or result I have gotten in days. After Damien came back to mansion and the company, things has changed. He didn't hesitate to rub it in my face, but he wasn't too stupid to overdo anything. Some of the workers quit immediately, because they couldn't keep up with Sarah's daily demands. She has been here for just four days, and at least half of the staffs have resigned. I knew it wouldn't be long for the rest to follow. I had to beg the chef to stay for a few days. He has been my chef longer than I could remember, which meant he knew

Wear your crown.

Michelle's pov. Five months later. “Michelle,” my mother called, walking into the kitchen with the dishes. “That was a lovely meal.” “Thank you.” I smiled, taking them off her hands. “But that isn't all.” “What do you mean?” She frowned. “An apology,” I chuckled. “You said my food taste like ass.” “And I also said that your cooking isn't half as good as mine, which isn't.” She pulled my cheeks, teasing me. “Look at my little baby thinking she can cook better than her mother.” I hit her hands away. “I'll get you one day mother.” “And one day I might really place you above me.” She stroked my hair. “One day. Not today.” I forced a tight smile, watching her walk away like a queen who just put her place in the right place. Gosh, she was so dramatic. I quickly finished washing the dishes, arranged them in the dish rack, cleaned up and went to my room. Tomorrow was going to be the day I finally emerged into the world as Michelle Carter, so I had to look my best.I walked over to

Life after Kieran

Michelle's POVThe car stopped outside the hotel and I took one breath before the door opened.The reporters were already there.I don't know how they always knew, because I specifically told the owners of the hotel that I didn't want this collaboration to be announced, and I certainly didn't want anyone to know that I was coming there. So how the hell do these people know? It was either they had that sixth sense ability or there was a leak in the company. And we all know which it is. Either way the moment I stepped out the lights started going off, and the questions started coming before I had both feet on the ground.The guards moved fast, forming a line on either side of me. I adjusted my glasses, kept my chin level, and walked into the hotel. I was breaking. I have never heard this much attention in my entire life. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but somehow the flashes were enough to make the sun jealous. I could feel my knees shaking, but I kept them still, and walk
