Rebirth: The Devil’s Lunatic
⚠️ CONTENT WARNING | 18+
This is not your typical love story. Expect morally gray characters, a dangerous male lead, a fierce heroine, revenge, violence, mature sexual content, strong language, and complicated relationships. If you’re looking for rainbows, sunshine, and a conventional romance, this might not be the book for you. Reader discretion is advised.
She spent her first life hunting ghosts.
A legendary assassin. The unseen queen of an underground syndicate. A woman no one could kill, yet one who died with a single regret—never finding the family she'd lost.
But not even Hell wanted her.
So instead, she opened her eyes in the body of a young woman the world had condemned as insane, carrying memories that weren't hers... memories soaked in betrayal, cruelty, and five years inside a mental institution.
They thought they had broken her.
They had no idea they'd awakened someone far worse.
Then she met the man they called the Devil.
A breathtaking heir with the smile of an angel and the mind of a monster. He spoke of murder as casually as the weather, laughed while his enemies trembled, and wore kindness like a perfectly tailored suit.
The world feared him.
The world pitied her.
Neither reputation was true.
Because the Devil wasn't looking for someone to save him.
And the Lunatic had never needed saving.
Together, they would discover that madness is far more terrifying when it falls in love.
After all...
The most dangerous people aren't the ones who hide their monsters.
They're the ones who smile while setting them free.

Chapter: Chapter 8: A Ruined DressElena/Ileana PovI was checking my phone when my bedroom door swung open.I barely had time to slide the device beneath my pillow before a maid walked in.Seriously?Did nobody in this house know how to knock?I sat up slowly and looked at the woman standing in front of me. She didn’t apologize for barging into my room, nor did she look the least bit guilty.Judging by the arrogant posture and the cold tilt of her head, I was beginning to realize that the Bellucci servants treated Ileana just as terribly as her family did.Wonderful. Even the staff had decided she was fair game.The maid carried a black dress draped over her arm. She walked over to the bed, dropped the garment onto the mattress, and dusted her hands together as though she had just completed some thoroughly unpleasant chore.“Madam asked me to bring this for you,” she said, her tone flat and completely devoid of respect. “You should get ready. The dinner is in an hour.”I glanced down at the dress, then back at her fa

Chapter: Chapter 7: Maybe I Just MightElena/Ileana PovIt felt good to sleep in an actual bed. It wasn’t as comfortable as the ones I was used to in Romania, but it was still better than the bed in the mental asylum.The first thing I did after settling into Ileana’s room was open her wardrobe.I wasn’t expecting much, but even I was surprised by what I found.Hand-me-downs.Most of the dresses were old-fashioned, some visibly worn at the seams, while others looked as though they had belonged to someone considerably larger than Ileana. There were a few decent pieces, but nothing that suggested the owner came from one of Verona’s wealthiest families.I picked up a pale blue dress and examined it.The Belluccis had enough money to dress an army, yet their daughter had been left with clothes other people no longer wanted.Charming.I returned the dress to its hanger and checked the remaining shelves. A few pairs of shoes, some old accessories, and a small collection of personal belongings completed the wardrobe.That was pra

Chapter: Chapter 6: A House Without A HomeElena/Ileana Pov “Home?”The word slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it.Dr. Vane nodded, looking as though he would rather deliver the news of his own execution than stand in front of me for another second.“Your family is here to take you home.”Interesting.For three months, I had been plotting my escape from this glorified prison. I had spent the last few days calculating my next move, gathering information, and figuring out how to leave without attracting unnecessary attention.And now, the Belluccis had graciously decided to come and collect me.How considerate of them.I almost laughed.“Then we shouldn’t waste time, should we?” I said, stepping away from the man still groaning on the floor. “I’ll pack.”Dr. Vane blinked.Perhaps he had expected me to refuse. Perhaps he thought I would demand to know why my family had suddenly remembered my existence after leaving me here for years.Unfortunately for him, I wasn’t interested in asking questions I didn’t need answers t

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Devil You Know.Elena/Ileana Pov. It had been three days since my strange encounter with the masked stranger, and I had exactly four more days to lay low before leaving this Godforsaken place.Four days.I could survive that long. After all, I had survived far worse.I pushed open the door leading from the staff gym into the main corridor, dressed in a black sports bra, matching leggings, and white trainers. Sweat trickled down the back of my neck, and my raven-black hair was tied into a high ponytail. A white towel rested around my neck, and a strawberry lollipop sat between my lips.My muscles ached pleasantly from the workout.When I had first arrived in this body, even standing for too long had been exhausting. Now, after weeks of proper meals and consistent physical training, I was finally beginning to regain some of my strength.I still wasn’t anywhere near my former physical condition, but progress was progress.Besides, I had bigger things to worry about.Like money.I needed somewhere to st

Chapter: Chapter 4 : The Woman I RememberedAdonis POV. "Cazzo," I muttered, leaning against the cold stone wall outside the asylum gates. "I forgot how much I hated this place."A soft, familiar laugh came through the phone pressed against my ear."You don't have a choice, boss," Matteo's voice replied. "Keeping her in that facility is the only way to shield her from the family until you find out the truth of what happened back then. Were you able to get anything out of her today?"I stared back at the dark, silent windows of the mental institution, letting out a heavy breath."No," I said softly. "She just stared at me with that same blank expression, as if I were a complete stranger. But something about the place felt different today.""You haven't set foot in Italy for five years, boss. Everything probably feels a bit off.""Maybe," I conceded, pushing off the wall and walking down the dimly lit road. "Does anyone know I'm back yet?""No, boss. The word on the street is still that you're arriving next week, exactly as you

Chapter: Chapter 3: The Devil Is Coming HomeElena/Ileana POVThe next morning, I sat comfortably on top of Dr. Vane’s wooden desk, one leg swinging lazily over the edge while I sucked on a strawberry lollipop.I heard the heavy office door handle turn.Dr. Vane walked in, clutching a stack of patient files. The moment his eyes landed on me, he froze. The color drained from his face so fast it was almost comical."Relax," I said, amused, pulling the lollipop from my mouth with a soft pop. "We’re not having another torture session today."He swallowed hard, his throat moving nervously.I gave him a calm smile. "I came because I need a favor from you. You’ll do me a favor, won't you?""Yes," he whispered, his voice trembling. "What... what do you want?"I studied him closely. The man looked completely broken. Dark, heavy bags hung beneath his eyes, his cheeks were hollow, and his white lab coat hung loosely over his shrunken frame. He clearly hadn't slept properly in the three months since I had taken over the ward.Good."A littl
