Devilin stares at his phone as soon as his father ends the call after shouting at him for no reason, he slowly makes his way to the elevator to reach his room, as he is tired as hell and just wants to sleep but it seems it will be impossible as his father is coming to visit him.

As the elevator reaches his floor, he walks towards his apartment, pulling out his key he unlocks his door and walks inside making a direct beeline to where his fridge was.

Pulling out a bottle of water, he drinks it up only to throw all the water out as someone wraps their arms around him from behind.

"Dev" Ariel sighs as she wraps her arms around him startling him in the process.

"Ariel" he asks twisting in her arms before he pulls her away.

"What are you doing here? How did you even get in...wait what the fu...what are you wearing?" he asks shocked to see her as he never knew she even know where he lived.

"What do you mean?" she asks confused before going to wrap her arms around him but he steps away.

"Seriously Ariel, what are you doing in here, how did you even get in?" he asks her confused as he looks around the room.

"I am here because you want me to be and you brought me here," she asks slowly tilting her head to the side.

"I brought you here, when?" he asks her confused himself.

"Dev are you okay?" Ariel asks him in worry.

"I am fine" Dev states as he moves around the house.

He looks around as if searching for something, when he does not find anything he turns towards Ariel.

"What?" she asks him in confusion.

"Uh, by any chance have you see a bag in here I kept" he asks still looking around.

"Bag?" she asks him not knowing about it.

"Yes, I kept it all in a black bag" he whispers to himself but before he could say anything the front door of the apartment opens.

"Honey, I am home bearing gifts. It seems the housekeeper; she took away a few things from here without asking thinking someone threw it out as it was in a garbage bag...

Strange who would...?" Dev stops as he walks inside the house to find Ariel and Devilin staring at him.

"Fuck"

"Fuck"

"What the fuck man"

"Fuck...what the fuck are you doing in here?"

"Why the fuck are you even in here?"

"Fuck" Dev swore continuously just as he hears Ariel's scream seeing two of them.

"Air" Dev walks her way but she moves away from his reach and keeps looking from one to another.

"What...who...how?" she whispers not understanding anything as now there were two of Devilin in the room.

*******

Devilin rubs his face tiredly before walks towards Dev, pulls the bags out of his hand, and looks inside.

"Did you throw this away?" Devilin asks stressed.

"No. I just got call from one of the guards that the housekeeper took it so I went to claim it, I mean why were you collecting gifts in a fucking garbage bag...

Ah, right, wait....I did have a few gifts and flowers few days ago from this crazy blonde chick, shit man was this all for you?" Dev asks amused.

"You did not," Devilin groans

"I did, but why would you take anything from anyone anyway? She did seem weird, was asking me out, crazy"

"Wait what?"

"Don't worry I did not go, you should be careful bro, weird people" Dev chuckles as he pats Devilin's arms and smiles Ariel's way who gapes at the both of them.

"Air, breathe baby, I will explain" Dev grins moving her way.

"What's going on here?" she asks him still in shock.

"Sorry, for not saying this before but I am Devilin's twin, Devon" Dev grins as he takes her hands in his slowly.

"Twin...Dev...Devon?" she asks not believing.

"Yes, twin even if I was not supposed to be here I could not help it especially when Devilin told me about you finding your mate...

I wanted to crush that bastard you know, for taking what is mine. Should have come forward before and cleaned up everything but I could not you see my father will kill me if he knows I am here...

But baby how could I not when someone else was making you believe you were theirs when I know you are mine and mine alone" he grins as he lightly brushes her cheek while she just stares at him dumbstruck.

"I think I need to sit down" she requests and he happily lets her take a seat.

"So, where were we bro" Devon smiles turning back towards Devilin only to curse as he falls down from the effect of Devilin's punch.

"What the actual fuck?" Devon shouts at his brother.

"You asshole, I asked you to watch out for Ariel not mix up with her, not when she was vulnerable after what happened...

You sick fuck, you were playing and acting as if you were me all this time not just fooling her but everyone, you son of a bitch you just cost me my fucking mate," Devilin shouts as he goes to punch his brother once again but stops as someone else beats him and punches the shit out of Devilin himself.

*******

"You son of a...fuck I can't even curse you both seeing as you two fuckers are my sons" Dante shouts as he looks between his sons one who was already beaten and one whom he just punched.

"Dad" Devon smiles as he steps away from his father.

"Stop fucking right there, or god help me Devon I will throw you to the pit of hell. And you, the fuck, were you thinking calling him back?" Dante shouts as he looks from Devon to Devilin.

Devilin slowly gets up from the floor as he spits some blood on the floor and glares from his brother towards his father.

"I just asked him to look out for Ariel"

"Yes, I can see how clearly he was looking after her" Dante grits through his teeth before he rubs his forehead tiredly.

"Ariel, darling I am sorry for this whole mess, Jane will be here for you. Even if I do not want to, I have to leave with these idiots...

I promise once I am done with them I will come explain it all to you okay," Dante requests, before he glares at his sons and asks them to follow him quietly.

"Air, what we feel is true once I am done I will come for you okay, don't loose hope or let any negative feelings take over you" Devon shouts as he is literally dragged by Devilin out of the house leaving a shocked Ariel behind.

*******

"Dad what's going on?" Jane asks as she meets him just out of the elevator.

"Devilin...oh my god who is he?" Jane shouts as she sees two of her brothers

"Jane, just go and check on Ariel I will come back later and explain it okay?" Dante asks as he waits for his sons to follow him.

Once they are all inside the elevator, Dante pins both his sons grabbing each with his bare hands.

"Do you have any idea how much deep shit we are in?" Dante asks, but all they can do is try to fight his hold.

"You little twat, what did we talk about with you coming back?" Dante asks looking at his younger son before turning his glare towards his elder son.

"And you, in this whole world you found no one but him to ask help from?" Dante asks as he pressurizes his hold on their necks choking them.

Both the boys struggle in their father's hold before Dante lets them go and they drop down on the floor like a sack of potatoes.

Dante curses once again as he opens the first few buttons of his shirt and looks forward.

*******s

Once they reach the conference hall where Dante knows everyone was waiting on him, he slowly pushes the door open and both the boys walk inside.

Enzo, Rom, Ethan and Ryan gape mouths open as they watches both the boys and keep staring before looking towards Dante for answer.

"Meet my sons, Devilin and Devon; they are twins, identical at that" Dante sighs tiredly as he sits down while the boys just stand and be the center of attention.

"Okay and how come we never knew there were two of them, ever, like ever?" Rom slowly asks.

"That is because, even if I told you all about it, it would not have mattered" Dante sighs tiredly.

"How?" this time Enzo speaks.

"The white noise we all heard it was probably when he either opened the portal or stopped time, both the times...

Devon, here he can not just erase memories but can stop time as well, ten years ago whatever happened between those kids and Eric as well my son no one knows except them...

Something must have ticked him due to which he must have stopped the time and tried to erase the memory and as stupid as he can get the fucker actually not just erased whose ever memory he wanted to but in the process he erased the memory of everyone who knew he existed"

"Wait, you mean to say none of us knows about his existence because he erased his memories from our brain?" Enzo asks in disbelief.

"As absurd as it sounds, it is the truth. I do not know how only three of the men in our family know about his existence as even my mother, mate and daughter does not even know he even exists...

I can understand Devilin having no effect of his power as they are twins and they share some weird bond that twins have, from what I can gather through my father is that the men in our family was not affected because of the powers we all have...

It worked as a power shield as you all know I don't get affected by most of the powers some holds in our world" Dante finishes.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Devon grins as he looks around.

"Okay, then back to ten years ago, Devon can you tell us anything about that day?" Enzo asks with a sigh, as this was all too much to take in.

"Sorry, it seems because of the power I used there must have gone something wrong as I cannot remember what exactly happened...

All I know is that I hate your Eric for some reason and I am happy he is far, far away," Devon states as he shrugs his shoulder uncaring.

"Dante if that was the case then why hide him for all these years?" Ethan asks curiously.

"Why else, do you really think it was a good idea, to take him in front of my mate and say hey honey, remember this little shit we created, he is our second son...

I mean even you all are finding it hard to believe he is my son so how can I show him years ago, I thought it was a temporary thing but guess it was not, that is why he was to never show up around here...

At least not until he could reverse his powers or we came up with something but it seems Devilin here had this great idea to seek his brother back who has been pretending to be Devilin for all this time and romancing Ariel...

The shit this guy comes up with leaves me speechless every single fucking time" Dante scolds both the boys.

"Relax no harm was done and if anything I don't have to hide anymore nor do I want to as well as I made the dream of yours come true I am Ariel's mate so everything is perfect" Devon grins as he goes to hug his father but ends up getting another black eye.

"I still am not finished being angry and there is a whole case of letting your mother know about you," Dante shouts.

"Ah, just sex her up," Devin advices as he touches his swollen eye.

"Was one Dante not enough that we had to have one more?" Rom asks with a heavy sigh.

*******

"I guess we are back to zero as we don't know what happened that day and no idea how to prove if Eric is even innocent" Eric sighs as he takes a seat.

"Don't worry let us all look into it more, may be we can get something" Ethan states supporting him.

"Well, if we are done in here then I guess I will leave to explain this all to my mate as I am sure Devon has his own mate to do some explaining to" Dante informs as he gets up from his seat.

"Okay, now that we survived this bomb you threw on us we will have to move fast on Eric's case...

The more we delay on it the more we are at a disadvantage" Rom announces to all of them before he turns towards Devilin.

"I wanted to ask, if Devon was acting as you then where were you? I don't remember anyone of us giving you any tasks so where have you been?" Rom asks.

"I just had to check on few things" is all he answers as he walks out of the room leaving all of the men stare at his back.

"Let him be, I am sure whatever he was doing we will know about it sooner or later," Ryan states showing his support towards Devilin.

*******

"Bro, wait up" Devon shouts as he runs towards Devilin.

"What?" Devilin asks in anger.

"By any chance, can you not go back in the apartment I want to be alone with Ariel for a while to explain everything to her?" he requests smiling.

"Fuck Devon, you have already created some deep shit for me, where do you expect me to go...

Sure enough I cannot go back to mom's as I know dad will kill me and I am very tired all I want is a good night's sleep" Devilin curses as he walks towards his car but stops when Devon holds him back.

"Come on Bro; help me out on this one, sleep in a hotel if you have to but leave the apartment for a few days please," he begs making Devilin give in because he really was not in a state to fight.

"Fine, two days I give you two days to get your shit out of my house and if you ever hurt Ariel"

"I won't, I promise I did say that she is my mate didn't I?" Devon grins as he takes the car keys with him.

"Ah wait, about mates, that blonde she is my mate and if she comes around don't let her leave and call me as soon as you can" Devilin orders stunning Devon.

"That stalker is your mate?" Devon asks stunned.

"Yes, that stalker is my mate, she is my stalker. I cannot beat you up right now as I am tired as hell, also if you touch anything from that black bag I will kill you myself," Devilin warns his brother.

"I never understood why you kept all those things in the garbage bag," Devon mutters as he opens the car door.

"Because, I knew no one would look inside the garbage bag and snoop around inside of it except me" Devilin replies anyway before he takes the passenger seat and ask him to drive towards the faculty.

"Why are you going there?" Devon asks confused.

"To sleep, why else I am sure one of the rooms is empty for me to use and sleep in till I gather my energy and it is the last place anyone will search for me anyway, now just drive and don't talk" Devilin sighs as he closes his eyes.

*******

Devon whistles as he walks towards the apartment Ariel was in, he stands outside for a while to hear anything but when he hears nothing out of sort he slowly opens the door and walks inside.

Searching for his mate, he finds her sleeping on the couch wrapped up in a blanket while his sister is nowhere around.

He makes his way to look for Jane and finds her in the kitchen.

"Hello little sis" he speaks startling her.

"Fuck" she shouts turning to see him grin at her as she holds her hand to her chest.

"What the fuck" she shouts at him in anger.

"Sorry, so you need to leave" Devon states pointing at the door for her.

"Wait, I will not leave before you explain what is going on here, how can there be two of you?" she asks him but Devon just shrugs.

"It's a mind-fucking explanation and I am sure dad will tell you all. Now, leave I have to wrap things up with my mate" he orders moving out of the kitchen area.

"Wait, mate as in Ariel is your mate?" she asks surprised.

"Of course, who else"

"But, how"

"What do you mean by how?"

"I mean why I not knew about it before"

"Because, I just came in here"

"Oh, you are Dev number two" she nods in understanding.

"Yes, now go back to your mate okay I will officially make my entrance later" Devon speaks as he pushes his sister out of the door before walking to where his mate was.

"Air" he shakes her shoulder slightly and smiles as she groans before opening her eyes.

"Hello"

"Hi" Ariel yawns before stretching her arms.

"How are you feeling?" he asks her as he rubs her cheek lightly.

"Sleepy, but how am I in here?" she asks looking around while he just waits the fog of her sleep to wash away.

"Oh"

"Yes, oh" Devon teases as he sits next to Ariel.

"So, um...I guess you are here to explain everything to me?" she asks him carefully.

"Yes. First, I am sorry to scare you and also to lie about who I am" he smiles

"You said you are Devilin's twin if then how come I never met you or did not remember you ever being around?" she asks him as he just keeps staring at her with a smile.

"Because, it would have been of no use even if you saw me. I happened to erase the memory of myself from everyone's mind except my father, Devilin and granddad," he informs before taking her hands in his.

"Is that even possible?" she asks him unsure.

"Even if it's hard to believe it is, also don't call Devilin Dev from now on, I am the only Dev for you" he grins but stops as she pulls away from him.

"So, you lied to me about everything does that mean you lied to me about your feelings towards me as well?" she asks as she slides away from him.

"No, that is the only truth I ever said in your presence. Don't you feel it, this connection and attraction between us?" he asks as he holds her hands and pulls her closer to him.

"Don't you feel my heartbeats going wild?" he asks putting her hand on his chest.

"Dev" Ariel whispers.

"If you want some space I can give you some, but don't tell me that my feelings for you are not real. I cannot explain in words how I feel about you but all I know is if you leave me I will die"

"I think I will use the space, the past few weeks have been nothing but a roller coaster ride for me...

First Eric and now you, it's like I don't even know who I am anymore or what I feel for anyone" she sighs sadly.

"It's okay, I know my being here confused you even more and I am sorry to make you go through all of this and I promise once you figure everything out I will always be here waiting for you" he promises as he gets up along with her.

"I will take you home and please don't just sit in your room and sulk," he requests and she nods not wanting to talk or think about anything.
