A NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL
Six years of secrets. Two children born of a single, scorching night. And one man who will stop at nothing to reclaim what is his.
Alita thought she had vanished into the wind, escaping the suffocating power and predatory gaze of Xavier Dante. She built a life in the shadows, shielding her son and daughter from the man whose blood runs through their veins. She believed the past was buried.
She was wrong.
When Xavier reappears, he isn’t looking for a reunion—he’s looking for retribution. Breathtakingly handsome and lethally possessive, Xavier doesn't just want the children Alita stole from him; he wants the woman who dared to run.
One look from those piercing blue eyes, and Alita is reminded of the heat, the hunger, and the devastating intensity of the night that changed everything. Now, pinned against the wall and trapped by his commanding presence, she is faced with a terrifying reality: Xavier Dante doesn't believe in forgiveness. He believes in ownership.
He calls her his tigress. He demands a punishment for her betrayal. He is convinced that she belongs to him, body and soul.
But Alita is no longer the naive girl he once broke. While Xavier plays the hunter, he's about to discover that this tigress has claws—and she isn't afraid to use them.
In a high-stakes game of obsession, longing, and revenge, can a love forged in betrayal survive the truth? Or will the fire between them burn everything to the ground?
**One night of passion. Six years of lies. A lifetime of reckoning.**

Chapter: Chapter 11-BoundingXavier was currently in the kitchen making breakfast for them. He had an apron around his neck giving him a funny look as he kept on flipping the pancakes on the pan, if Alita could see him right now she wouldn’t believe he was the same being she was hiding away from.“You look so funny in those,” Andria giggled.She was currently sitting on the kitchen counter mouthing on some apples while Andrea sat down quietly watching everything. Unlike his sister, he doesn’t talk much, that is another trait he got from his father.Xavier sighed dramatically before pointing the spatula at Andria.“Keep laughing and I’ll make you wash all the dishes.”Andria burst into another fit of laughter.“You don’t even know how to wash dishes yourself!”“I do.”“You don’t.”“I do.”Andrea simply shook his head before taking another bite of his apple.“So tell us Dad, where have you been all this while, like why haven’t you even visited us for once back in France?” Andrea asked cutely.For the first time in

Chapter: Chapter 10-FatherThe only thing she could think of was getting as far away from him as possible.She knew what she had done was a grave mistake. Right now, she wished she could disappear from the face of the earth.It hadn’t even been twenty-four hours since she returned, and she was already regretting ever coming back.She had returned to punish the people who had hurt her—to make their lives a living hell.Instead…She was the one being punished by the devil himself.“How can life be so cruel?” she pouted.She reached for her phone, only to remember she’d left it on the bed before she started undressing.“What am I going to do now?” she muttered.Just then, her eyes lit up when she spotted a public telephone booth across the road.She sighed in relief, hurried over, and dialed her assistant’s number.The call connected after the second ring.“Hello?”“Hi, Maya. It’s me, Alita.”Maya frowned.This was the first time Alita had ever called her from an unfamiliar number.“Alita? What happened?”“I’m scr

Chapter: Chapter 9-I’m so deadAfter spending the evening with her grandfather on the phone and putting the twins to bed, Alita slowly walked into her bedroom.She smiled as she remembered Andrea and Andria arguing over who their grandfather loved more.“They’re impossible,” she whispered with a tired laugh.She closed the bedroom door behind her.With a long sigh, she removed her blazer and placed it over a chair.Her shoulders finally relaxed.For the first time all day…She was alone.Or so she thought.A strange feeling suddenly crept over her.Someone was watching her.The hairs on the back of her neck stood up.Alita spun around, her breath hitching in her throat.Standing in the shadows of her room was a man every powerful family in the world knew.Tall.Broad-shouldered.He looked less like a man and more like a sculpted god.His face was breathtakingly handsome, with sharp, chiseled features and a jawline that looked as though it had been carved from marble.Piercing ocean-blue eyes stared directly at her,

Chapter: Chapter 7-Back in the county SIX YEARS LATER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT — MEXICO CITY 9:30 A.M. Click! Click! Click! Click! The terminal was packed with flashing cameras and shouting reporters. Everyone pushed forward, desperate to get the best view. “Move! Get the camera closer!” one cameraman shouted, shoving another aside. “Do you think she’ll actually say something?” a female reporter asked excitedly. “I heard she doesn’t even speak to most of her managers.” “Who cares if she talks?” another reporter replied. “Just keep your eyes on the runway!” Vrooooom! The loud roar of jet engines echoed through the airport as a sleek matte-black private jet touched down. The tires hit the runway with a heavy thud. The crowd instantly exploded with excitement. “Oh my God!” “She’s here!” “She’s finally back!” A team of tall bodyguards dressed in black suits stepped out first. Their expressions were cold as they quickly formed a protective line. “Stand back!” “Give her space!” the head of security ordered. Th

Chapter: Chapter 6-Goodbye MexicoMaxwell’s Apartment — 10:00 AM Alita walked through the gates of Maxwell’s luxury apartment complex. Since she had been his girlfriend for years, the gatekeeper didn’t question her. He simply smiled politely and opened the gate. “Good morning, Miss Alita.” She forced a weak smile before walking inside. Her heart felt unbearably heavy. Right now… She just wanted someone to hold her. Someone to tell her everything would be okay. She entered the house and slowly lowered herself onto one of the plush white couches in the living room. Her body felt exhausted. Her mind felt empty. “Where’s Maxwell?” she asked the maid, who was dusting a nearby table. The maid froze. The feather duster slipped slightly from her trembling hands. “Oh… the boss…” she stammered. “He… he went on a business trip.” Alita frowned. Something felt wrong. The atmosphere inside the house was strange. Too quiet. Too tense. The maid refused to meet her eyes. “A business trip?” Alita slowly stood.
