Devil In Disguise. Chapter 1 Shattered

KELVIN'S POV

The day dawned crisp and clear as the sun poured through my windows bringing along with it new hopes and aspirations. I rubbed my blurry eyes and walked to the window to catch a glimpse of the rising sun casting its rosy hues across the sky. I was anything but ready to face the day without Mom. She had gone on a trip and would return today.

I dragged myself to the bathroom,brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. After changing outfits, I run down the stairs and met Jackie and Jeoffery already seated at the table. I inhaled my breakfast, scrambled for my Key and jacket and made to race for the door.

I had turned the door nob already when my phone rang. It was an unknown number.

"What!!" I exclaimed in shock as my phone fell lifelessly from my hand. The news I heard on the phone struck me so hard that I fell to the ground like an empty sack released from a height. All eyes in the room were now fixed in on me shock and confusion as to why I exclaimed as such and fell hard to the ground. The wind whirled around me and the world went black. At first, I couldn't process what I had heard. A shiver raced down my spine and tremor of pain struck my heart as if pierced with an arrow.

"Oh, my God!! Kelvin C. What is it?" l heard jeoffery exclaim as he made fast paces towards me to pick me off the ground.

"what is it Kel C, what happened Kel C, he interrogated. I kept mute as if I heard nothing he said. "Answer me," he asked again but still nothing

"Jackie get a glass of water," I heard jeoffery say out loud to my sister. She brought it hurriedly and I took a sip.

He asked again "Kel C what is it"?

" It's mo mo mo". I stuttered out of shock.

"What is mo mo mo" he interrogated.

JEOFFERY'S POV

Kel c is making no sense here at all, what could be wrong"? I asked turning to Jackie who looked down much worried and confused about his brother. Minutes ago, Kelvin had jolted from his sleep looking lively as ever, what happened now.

"The phone!! " Jackie blurted out as her eyes fell on phone dropped from Kevin's hand moments ago.

" Yes! You're a genius Jackie", I said to her as I rushed to where the phone was lying.

I picked it up and hurriedly checked the recently received number, it was Kel C's mom.

"Jackie it's ur mom," I said to her.

"What could Mom have told Kelvin to cause this sudden muteness and stammering"? Jackie asked already in fear. I shrugged

I dialed the number to call back." hello mummy " I said when the call was answered.

"Halo" a deep voice replied.

"Who are u, please? " I questioned him immediately on noticing the unfamiliar voice

" I'm inspector Ernest A.K.A Junior Einstein". He replied explaining boastful

"Whatever, this is Miss Caries's phone may I know where she is?

"Oh the accident victim? But I told you already". He added hesitantly .

"Nope. It wasn't me, that was my friend and did I just hear you say accident " I replied and asked when a shrill ran down my spine on what I've heard.

" Yes I'm sorry but we lost the victim" he sadly announced

"What!! Miss Carrie died in an accident"? I exclaimed

"No, it can't be! not my mom!" I Heard Jackie say out loud and she burst into tears...

ONE MONTH AFTER MOM'S BURIAL

Jackie's POV

"Hey guys dinner is ready!!"I screamed out from the dinner table to call my brothers.

Oops, sorry there were no proper introductions the first time. I'm Jackie Clyde, 18 years old and Kelvin Clyde my elder brother who is 20 years.,and Jeoffery my brother's friend who we took in recently because he lost his parents. I sometimes regret we took him in. Sadly we also lost our dad not too long ago and our mom followed recently .

Kelvin is automatically the CEO of the Clyde's company after our parents passed away and that had been our source of income since then.

"Jackie what did you make today, am damm hungry," Jeoffery said as he descended the stairs.

"There he goes again," I said within me.

"I made your favourite... Rice and chicken wings". I said as I faked a smile when I saw my brother's gaze

"Wow. Mouth-watering." He remarked as they sat down

I began to serve the food.

"I won't eat much" Kelvin said lost in thoughts.

"What is wrong with him again, " I thought. It was as if the passing of mother affected him much than any of us. Since then he has turned cold and his way of behaviour has changed. He used to be lively and jovial when our parents were alive.He would usually behave as if he was the last born but since these tragic events, he's totally turned into a new being.

The food serving was done in no time. and then as if been timed by someone, the doorbell rang before each of us could even taste the food.

I went to check who it was. Three men, two dressed in all black and one in white and black stood at the gate.

"Good afternoon ma'am". he said.

"Huh, me? ma'am"? I chuckled within.

"Yh afternoon" I replied more clearly.

Jeoffery's POV

Curiosity rushed me to the door to check who it was also. I strodded casually to the door after Jackie who was already speaking to the anonymous people.

"Oh inspector," I said on reaching where they were.

"What's your name again, " I asked rhetorically.

" Einstein, yeah junior Einstein " I replied myself after straining my head to remember his name.

" Wossup negga" I switched from the normal ascent doing a nigga's talk.

"I'm sorry but I'm not here for your foolish dramatic scene" The officer replied rudely

Feeling ashamed and foolish I kept mute.

"Where is Mr Kelvin Clyde?" the officer asked.

"I'm here" Kelvin replied as he walked towards us.

You are under arrest for killing your mom.

What??!! We all gasped in shock.

KELVIN'S POV

"What!! Killed my mom? Haha, you got to be kidding me, officer. " I asked jokingly

"Yoo man I'm not kidding here okay? The officer retorted.

But what the hell are you....the officer cut me off before I could even finish my statement.

"Say something and it would be used against you in a court of law" he added looking serious.

I watched idly as the handcuffs were manoeuvred around my wrist

"Jeez officer, take it easy with my bro...we can settle this amicably, how much do you want?" Jeoffery said worriedly and pleasingly.

"Hey young man, you better watch your words before it lands your friend in bigger trouble " the officer replied With rage.

"Okay enough of the drama here, take him to the car" the officer instructed his other men to do so.

They single handedly grabbed me and we walked to their car outside. I was overly resistant with they arresting me for such a hideous act. I clenched my fist in rage as he ordered his men to take me in. He wore a unpardonable look on which already showed he wasn't going to pardon me. As such, I held on to my ego as they forced me inside the car.

Sooner after his rants, he shove himself into the driver's seat and sped off abruptly leaving the escapee particles of air to float in the atmosphere

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancĂ©, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
