EPILOGUE
“Happy birthday, my love.” Mabel handed Devlin a small package. “Another gift? I thought you had already given me one at the manor.”
“That was my Christmas gift to you, this is my birthday gift. “ Devlin was so used to Mabel gifting him with portraits done by different local artists in Baguio that he expected another one for Christmas this year. It has been three years since he and Mabel celebrated the season here in her hometown and they have been coming back every year for the celebrations. Her Christmas gift to him was a fruit cake jokingly reminding him of his birthday a long, long time ago when he decided to change his life for the better. The fruitcake was much better because Mabel baked it just for him. He stared down at the package in his hand, it is rectangular, probably A4 in size.

“Brick, bring your lazy ass over here! Bring us a beer and some food too and make it quick. Here, Tire, sit with me and tell me what you did yesterday.” This is what Devlin has heard most of his childhood life, from the moment he wakes up to the time he is allowed to sleep. Well, he decided as he turned 12 today, no one even bothering to greet him, he will change all that. The man who stole him from his family in Ireland and brought him here to New York told him, he is his biological father and the other boy, older than him by two years is his half-brother or so he’s been told by Muckie, shortcut for Marcus. Muckie seemed more appropriate as he is a monster just like his namesake, an Irish mythological water monster. He also looked like he had been drowned and resurfaced because he’s so bloated from lack of movement. He lorded over the two boys. Tire or Tiernan was a quiet boy, he looked timid but he’s

“Dev, darling, come back to bed.” purred Alina, a Russian boutique owner in New York. She had been Devlin’s on-off lover for quite some time now. She was never married despite living with another business tycoon who actually introduced her to Devlin. He told him he did not mind sharing the Russian beauty. At first Devlin was honored and felt lucky but after some time, her allure to Devlin has dimmed. She is beautiful, he can give her that but after meeting his Emirati partner’s PA in the UAE, he wanted no one else but her. He could still remember her jasmine cinnamon scent and that memory caused his shaft to stir after pleasuring Alina mere minutes ago. Unlike before though, his shaft had not sustained its rigidity despite Alina’s exaggerated moans and gasps. During their first time together, Alina indulged his fantasies and he reveled in it. This time though, his interest had waned thanks to that siren he thought. He was frustrate

I was so stunned yesterday that I only realized today what he actually said. He actually said he will introduce her to me today. How can I be so stupid Mabel?” “Oh I am so sorry cuz.

SCARRED HEARTS (Book 2 of Precious Series) CHAPTER 3 AMERICAN GETS INTRIGUED WITH EMIRATI BUSINESSMAN PARTNER’S PA
Devlin could have stayed in a hotel in the city proper if he wanted to but he preferred to stay in the villa. For one, both he and his partners could have a meeting anytime they want, second, he could keep an eye on his elusive prey who proves to be becoming more elusive by the day. Though she is present during their meetings, as soon as they are done, she just disappears. He couldn’t say she is being lazy because he always receives the minutes of the meetings on time. Since he also is looking to expand his business in the Middle East, he is almost always out and meeting with potential partners. However, luck must be on his side because Ami’s birthday came up and they went to Ferrari World to celebrate it. As usual Ami’s partner was Ali while Mabel was with Mansour, again. This time though, he tagged along. The elusive lady had no choice as he was invited by Ami and he grabbed the chance. When they reached the Amusement Park, Ami w
SCARRED HEARTS (Book 2 of Precious Series) CHAPTER 4 DEVLIN FRUSTRATED WITH INABILITY TO LURE AND HOOK MABEL
Twenty minutes after the first call for prayer the next morning, Devlin went in search of the sheikh. There was a mosque nearby so it did not take long for the male Muslims in the villa to have their prayer. As he suspected, the sheikh was already in his office.unlike most of the sheikh’s counterparts, he always likes to work early. The sooner you start, the faster you accomplish something is what he told Devlin one time when he was curious enough to ask. Before he could stop himself, Devlin blurted out “Where’s your PA?” “She does not come in till 8 am. Even if we work here most of the time, I make sure she comes to work not too early unless necessary. Why do you ask?” The sheikh raised his brow at Devlin. “Nothing, it is only that e
SCARRED HEARTS (Book 2 of Precious Series) CHAPTER 5 SHEIKH ABDULLAH WARNS DEVLIN ABOUT MESSING WITH HIS PA
When they all got back to Abu Dhabi, Mabel couldn’t help but notice the change in Devlin’s attitude towards her. He no longer tries to corner her, instead he avoids her. For some reason, Mabel missed the aggressive Devlin. However, she wasn’t complaining as it made her life easier, though less exciting. One morning however as per her normal routine, at 7:45 am she went inside the Sheikh’s home office only to discover her boss and the partner having coffee again. It seemed a normal occurrence but she didn’t mind as Devlin just gave her a passing glance. Deep inside though, Mabel was longing for the times he stole kisses from her. Did he already got bored or was he able to find a woman who satisfies his needs? That thought caused a tightening in Mabel’s chest. Before, she always catches him stealing glances at her, now it seems the opposite. He was dressed impeccably, although not a normal businessman’s suit. He’s wearing a whte polo
SCARRED HEARTS (Book 2 of Precious Series) CHAPTER 6 MABEL’S FLIRTY BUT FLIGHTY ENCOUNTERS WITH FIDELO
At the dining hall that evening, although Devlin was the first to be there, it was Fidelo who caught Mabel’s attention to the former’s consternation. Probably because Fidelo immediately approached her as soon as she arrived while Devlin was playing it cool, confident that after he gave her the gifts, she would automatically soften toward him. He watched while the two seemed oblivious to the growing crowd in the dining hall who were chuckling at the two people’s antics. They were charmed, but he wasn’t. He was annoyed and jealous. When Mabel passed by his side of the table though, she gave him a shy smile. That appeared to be a balm to Devlin’s senses. He smiled back and wanted to snatch her and make her sit beside him but of course he couldn’t do that. She went to sit next to Ami who was busy chatting amicably with Ali who looked so besotted to her. What have these cousins done to most of the male in the villa excluding the sheikh
SCARRED HEARTS (Book 2 of Precious Series) CHAPTER 7 FRIENDS OR FOES?
Befriending Mabel seemed a very good idea at first but as Devlin found out, it was harder than it looked. Although he continued giving her flowers and chocolates, she still seemed wary of him. On the day of their promised date, he gave her the book she wanted longingly. She was hesitant at first but when Devlin reminded her that it might not be available again as it was a bestseller, she accepted it graciously by giving him a peck on the cheek which made Devlin’s day. As it was still summer and too hot outside, he took her to the new Al Reem Mall. As they sat in a glass paned balcony overlooking the sea, he asked her what was bothering him for a long time. “Mabel, do you mind if I ask you a question?” “Not at all, what is it?” “Why ar
