The Devil's Heartbeat
Luciano De La Vega, known as Diablo, is a cold and untouchable billionaire. Feared by his employees and misunderstood by the world, he hides a devastating truth: a fatal heart condition with no cure.
To protect others from grief, Luciano builds walls so high that no one can reach him.
Camila Torres never imagined her path would cross with the infamous Diablo, until a heated
argument over a taxi ride pits her fiery temper against his ruthless arrogance.
Days later, their families force them into a contract marriage: for her, a desperate attempt to save her father’s
bankrupt business; for him, a duty to his family legacy.
Bound by resentment, their union is anything but loving. Yet when a vengeful former employee threatens their lives, the fire between them sparks into an unexpected passion. In Camila, Luciano discovers not just a partner, but a reason to live again. Her pregnancy gives him hope, pushing
him to seek treatment for his failing heart.
But joy turns to heartbreak when Luciano’s bitter step-sister poisons their newborn son, shattering their world.
Grief threatens to tear them apart, but through pain and healing, they learn
that love is the strongest heartbeat of all.
The Diablo’s Heartbeat is a sweeping tale of power, passion, and redemption proving that even the coldest heart can be revived by love.

Chapter: The ceremony The garden glowed that afternoon, alive with orchids, roses, and the meticulous perfection only the Vega staff could achieve. Rows of chairs lined the trimmed hedges, a white aisle running down the center like a deliberate slice through green. Guests in silk and tailored suits fanned themselves with programs while the string quartets melody floated under the sun.It looked beautiful, but for Camilla, beauty didn’t soften the knot twisting in her chest. From the far end of the veranda, she adjusted her veil in the glass doors. Her reflection looked like someone else, a doll dressed in lace, groomed and displayed. She tugged once more at the gown, ignoring Mrs. Vega’s warnings.“You’re wrinkling it, my dear.” She whispered.“I’m sorry,” Camilla muttered.Just then the door slightly opened and her father’s head appeared from the slight opening.“Aii mi amore, you’re, looking so beautiful in that dress.” Her father complimented, with genuine happiness. The kind of joy paren

Chapter: Pay Back! The mansion stirred with a kind of nervous energy that morning, a pulse that seemed to rise from the polished floors and hum against the chandeliers. From the garden came the steady clatter of ladders against marble columns and the shuffling of gardeners moving potted roses into perfect symmetry. White blossoms were arranged with clinical precision beneath the sprawling oaks, as if beauty itself had been forced into a line. Luciano’s mother had chosen the garden for the ceremony; she called it romantic, a return to elegance. The kitchen thrummed like a living heart. Pots clanged, the oven hissed and for the first time in years the air smelled of cinnamon, butter, and roasted meats. The chef, who had grown accustomed to preparing lavish meals that went untouched, whistled under his breath as he folded chocolate into glossy cakes.“The last time, I saw you whistle while you cooked, was when during Sir Luciano’s celebration on becoming the new ceo, after the death

Chapter: The Deal On his way home, Luciano’s phone buzzed and the caller ID indicated it was his mother calling. He looked at it and sighed, he knew exactly what she was going to say ask how the date went, which by the way was a disaster. There was no way their marriage was going to last, it would have been easier if Camilla stayed strong and rejected the proposal. However, she was bounded by filial duties as he was. He picked up the phone and turned it over; it would be easier to ignore the call that way. As the car pulled up at the Vega mansion, the staff came out to welcome him, one took his bag and the driver repacked the car the way Luciano always liked it for easy mobility from the house. He stepped into the mansion, the familiar hush swallowing him the moment the door closed behind his broad frame. The sound of his shoes echoed faintly against the polished marble floors, each step heavy with the weight of his thoughts. His fingers loosened the silk tie around his neck with an

Chapter: Dreams They didn’t look at each other as they made their way to the exit, diners turned, whispers fluttering like moths around a candle. The flicker of tension between them had been impossible to ignore, two people locked in combat, cloaked in civility but armed with words sharp enough to draw blood. Outside, the night air wrapped around. Camilla’s shoulders like a balm, cool and brisk after the suffocating heat of their duel. She hugged her clutch to her chest and inhaled, determined to put distance between herself and Luciano. The valet opened the driver’s door with a small bow, but Luciano didn’t move. Instead, he looked at her again, as though calculating. “Get in, I’ll take you home.” Camilla gave a short, incredulous laugh. “You? Drive me home? That’s generous of you, but thanks.” “I’m not in the habit of abandoning women in the middle of the city at midnight, even stubborn ones.” The bite in his words clashed with the odd civility in his tone, it threw her off balance.

Chapter: You've Got To Be Kidding Me The glass doors of La Vega Group of companies swung open with a sharp hiss, announcing the arrival of its CEO. Luciano De La Vega strode in, his jaw tight, the crease between his brows deep enough to cut marble. His tailored suit, usually a flawless armor of elegance, still carried faint dust on the sleeve from when the taxi had splashed against it earlier. His stride was clipped, calculated, but brimming with suppressed fury. Employees, sensing the storm in their boss’s aura, lowered their gaze to their screens and whispered to each other only after he passed. No one dared crossed his path.“Mr. Grad!” Luciano’s voice sliced through the cool morning air of the executive floor.Mr. Grad, nearly dropping the files he was carrying, he scrambled into Lucioano’s office, his face already set in apologetic likeness.“Yes,. Sir?”Luciano slammed his briefcase on the desk. “Where the hell were you this morning?”Grad blinked. “Sir, I…”“My car broke down halfway a

Chapter: Coincidence The alarm buzzed insistently, dragging her from the remnants of a restless sleep. Camilla groaned, tossing the blanket aside, only to narrowly avoid stepping on a stray shoe that had somehow ended up in the middle of the floor. Her apartment, a modest two-room affair on the edge of the city, was cluttered but lived-in, each item hinting at her busy, slightly chaotic life.She shuffled to the small kitchenette, fumbling with the ancient coffee maker that groaned in protest before sputtering to life. While waiting, she checked her phone, three missed calls from her father, and two reminders about the discussion the day before. Dressed in a crisp blouse and Camilla weaved through the crowd, eyes focused on her destination. Her phone buzzed in her hand bag that hung on her right arm, while rummaging through her bag, she spotted a taxi crawling along the curb and waved frantically, finally getting a hold of the phone.“Ai, Papi! I have literally scanned through your
