⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ The following chapter contains flashbacks of emotional and physical abuse. If you are sensitive to this, please skip the chapter or read at your risk. Mira Don’t you dare cry, Mira. Not here, not the fuck now.No matter what, forever and always, I’ve got you.That was what we promised one another. Unfortunately, Devin King broke that promise and nulled its significance the day he took off without a word and left me behind utterly distraught. Where was he two years ago when I really needed him? Seven thousand miles away, that’s where. In the arms of his girlfriend while I was laid up in a hospital bed nursing my fractured cheekbone and broken ribs. Having your bones shattered hurt, yet the pain is almost next to nothing compared to the betrayal and devastation he has caused me. Bones and bruises heal eventually, but the heart never forgets. I was foolish to believe that my heart wouldn’t miss what it couldn

I stop as I climb into the car and look at him, "Like hell—""Nah, ah!" Devin holds up a hand to silence me before I even begin to object. "I swear, Tinks, I will pick you up and toss your tiny arse into this car." I gape at him, stunned, and he nods determinedly in return."Fine, I will," I snap, pulling the door shut rather hard, and Devin glowers at me, clearly displeased. "No need to be such a big baby about it.""A baby?" He intones, pulling his seatbelt on. "Tinks, I can't spread my legs very wide in these slacks without risking them tearing. Also, having my already full and aching balls crushed by the centre console isn't exactly the most exhilarating of experiences for a man."I do my best to ignore the tug in my belly at the mention of his 'full' and 'achy' testicles and snort in a very unladylike manner as I flick the switch to start the engine. I'm still pleasantly thrilled by the way the engine roars to life at the flip of a switch. "You men and your precious cojonas." I d

I follow Devin into the entrance of the building, and through the car park. We swipe our ID cards, and we both attempt to walk through at the same time and get stuck between the door. I wince when the metal frame hits my shoulder. I glare at him. "Oh please, ladies first." I intone sarcastically while gesturing for him to go in front of me."Thanks, Tinks." I groan when he squeezes my cheek affectionally. I swat his hand away and follow him into the building. Devin makes a beeline to the elevator, and out of habit, I go toward the stairs. I gasp when we come crashing back into one another. I wobble in my heels and almost topple over, but Devin catches me before I fall. "Fucking hell, do you need a lesson on how to walk or what?" He questions while I straighten and tug my shirt down before I place my hands at my hips and scowl at him."I can walk perfectly fine, thank you very much. Maybe if you stopped yanking on my arm and moved in the same direction as me, I wouldn't be falling over

DevinYowch. My whole body was aching like a bitch. Like I had just gone twelve rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson, the king of boxing. Or perhaps I got hit by a freight train or some bollocks because it bloody hurt. My heart was drumming in my ears, and each breath I took was like my lungs were about to burst into flames. “Dev?! Hey, can you hear me?”Ah, Mira. My Tinks. Hearing her voice immediately appeases me. But, do you know what doesn’t? The way she’s tapping my cheek to bring me back into consciousness. I peel my eyes open and blink a couple of times until my vision clears and her beautiful face becomes focused. I stare up at her while she gazes down at me, concern radiating in her golden eyes. “Tinks?”“Dev, are you okay?”“I’m sprawled out on the floor. What do you think?” I groan grumpily, and she smiles a little, waving her purse in my face, attempting to cool me down. I can see the mirth dancing away in her eyes,

I want to ask what she's doing, but it feels like my trap is glued shut. I couldn't form two fucking words together nor think straight."Devin, I think we should get you checked." She tells me fretfully and tilts my head back when I give her a quizzical look in return. "I think you may be a little delirious from when you passed out earlier."I roll my eyes when her lips curl into a bright smile. She's taking the piss. "That's cute, Tinks. Real freaking cute." I utter with a smile and shake my head when she steps away and takes her seat beside mine."I know. I'm just so darn adorable." She retorts with a shrug and fires up her laptop.You have no idea. ***After our squabbling session, we settled down and got some work done. Mira's assistant Molly brought us another two cups of coffee—the right ones this time—with some delicious pastries from the bakery down the street from our office. While she was going thr

I push the answer button on my phone and no less than a second later Megan’s pretty face appears on my screen. I force a smile on my face. “Oh, hey baby, I was just about to hang up. What took you so long to answer?”“Hey sweetheart, I was in a meeting, and it only just wrapped up.” I tell her and she smiles brightly, her gorgeous green eyes glittering. “How are you?”Megan pouts her red-tinted lips, “Missing you. I wish you were here.” I smile warmly and nod, fending off the urge to look down at Mira crouched between my legs.“I miss you too. How are things over there?”Megan sighs and takes a sip of her coffee, “Fine, but everything here feels just humdrum and stale without you baby, it’s only been a week and I’m going out of my mind missing you. So how are things in London? How’s your dad? Has he started the treatments yet?”Oh hell. I can feel Mira’s heated gaze on me, and the hair on my neck starts to prickle. This is not how I wanted her to find out about my dad’s cancer.I clea

MiraI’m dreaming. This has got to be a dream or a very disturbing nightmare. Because I cannot be hiding under Devin’s desk listening to his girlfriend sensually tell him what she wants to do to him in this very office, on this same desk I am pathetically crouched under. This can’t be my life. The Vice-fucking-president of the company is hiding under the CEO’s desk like some tacky little mistress. I am literally sweeping the floor with my dignity at this point. I cover my ears with my hands, not even giving a toss that I am tugging Devin closer. I can feel his fingers brushing against my shoulder, and I have the sudden desire to bite it as hard as I can before I scream in frustration. However, the knock at the door rips me from my deliberations, and I stiffen when I hear footsteps and then my father’s voice.“Devin, my boy. Do you have a moment?” Holy crap, on a cracker. How the fuck am I going to get out of this quandary now?
Cuffed By Love Chapter 28
Devin smiles handsomely at me and gives my chin a little squeeze when I remain silent. "Do you forgive me?" He asks softly, his thumb tracing lazy circles over my jaw. A tremor passes through me, and suddenly the anger I felt moments before drains away from me. How on earth does he manage to do that every time? Even when we were kids, and I was furious with him, he always had this way of soothing me. "Yes, I forgive you," I utter and slap his hand away from my face. "And next time, I suggest you think long and hard before you even pluck up the damn nerve to ever ask me to do something that daft because I'll be sure to respectfully tell you where to shove it." Devin laughs, "Ever the feisty little kitten, Tinks." He drawls, pressing his forehead to my temple and whispering in my ear. "I love it." I roll my eyes playfully and try to back away from him, but he throws his arm casually over my shoulder and draws me up against his side. "Oh, and it looks like we're off to Rome together. N
