In a big popular restaurant in Miami, Rebecca and Ella could be seen seated close to the window, with two glasses of cold mango juice on the table.

While Ella had a calm look on, Rebecca looked worried. It had been thirty minutes since they arrived at the restaurant, and it was their second juice order, but Kira was nowhere to be found.

She didn’t want to think Kira had something else planned.

She switched on her phone screen to check the time and she sighed in frustration when she saw it was now more than thirty minutes since she had been waiting.

She stared at Ella and noticed the smile on her face, and it was obviously because of the person chatting with her at that moment.

Rebecca chuckled silently and moved her gaze around the restaurant, not searching for anything in particular.

The restaurant was filled up with people, and it was mostly couples having lunch, maybe a lunch date.

Speaking of a date, she recalled it had been long since Eric took her to one. Before they

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   The don’s strategy

    Don Alessandro’s clan*** Jake carefully dropped the wine and the glasses on the table. He popped the wine opened and poured into Don Alessandro’s glass. When it was time to pour in Danny’s glass, he didn’t focus. He had his eyes on Danny, taking in every little details. From his expensive wristwatch, to his shoes, to his phone and his clothes. Despite not paying full attention, Jake didn’t overflow the glass, he was too experienced to.When he was done, he dropped the bottle of wine on the table and stood straight.“Do you need me to do anything else, boss?” Don Alessandro beckoned on him to come closer and when he did, the Don whispered to his ear.“Ask Elsa if she’d heard from Axel and how the wedding plan is going.” “Okay boss.” He lowered his head to the floor and then walked out of the room. As soon as he got to a secluded place, he dialed Kira’s number but it wasn’t connecting. He tried it for about two times and decided he’ll try it later when it still didn’t connect.

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Michael’s sin

    Kira had her hands crossed under her chest as she walked around the control room, staring at each computer and surveillance. Standing beside her was Trent who was on a video call with Axel. Axel had told them about Danny and she pretended not to know who he was. She promised she would help him find him and she urged the team to get to work, meanwhile she was praying for them not to find anything. Trent moved the call from the phone to a bigger screen and she could see Rebecca seated next to Axel on the bed. Her brows raised but she was quick enough to masked her surprise, as they could also see her. She focused her gaze on Rebecca and they both stared quietly at each other through the screen. It was just a stare, but it had a meaning.“I found something.” One of the men handling the computer said. Kira turned immediately, forcing her breathing to stay steady. She leaned over the monitor and exhaled in relief when she saw the wrong man’s face pop up; someone older, unrelated,

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   The culprit

    Rebecca woke up feeling pains all over her body, but despite that, she still felt a wave of satisfaction. It was such an intense make out and the thoughts of it made a smile appear on her face. She sat upright, clutching the duvet tightly to her naked chest. She didn’t see Axel, so she assumed he would be in the bathroom or the living room. She stood from the bed, grabbed her clothes, put them on and walked to the bathroom. When she noticed the door was slightly opened, she realized he wasn’t in“Axel?” She called as she walked out of the room. Despite shouting his name around the whole lounge, she couldn’t find him. Her brows furrowed. “Where did he go to?” She muttered. She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and dialed his number. It rang for some time before the call ended, Axel didn’t pick. Her shoulders suddenly went tensed. She called his number again and it was answered this time around.“Where the fuck are you? What could be so important that you left with

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   His to claim

    For a moment, Axel didn’t move. Not because he didn’t want to, but because something inside him snapped so sharply he had to steady himself.Her words, “Claim me, I am yours.” replayed in his head. She had no idea what she was awakening in him.His jaw clenched. His grip on her waist tightened, fingers digging in just enough to make her breath quiver.“Becca.” He mumbled, but this time it wasn’t soft. It was a warning wrapped in want. A low, dangerous growl brushing her skin.She didn’t back away, instead, she stepped closer, her chest rising to meet his. Her heartbeat thundered loud enough for him to hear and he grabbed her waist with both hands, pulling her against him so suddenly that she gasped. He dipped his head to her neck, not kissing yet, just breathing her in, fighting the last shaky thread of restraint holding him back.“You don’t know what you’re asking for.” He whispered, voice dark, almost trembling.“I do.” Her fingers curled into the back of his shirt. “I want

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   The confession

    Her shoulders slumped upon hearing that. She shook her head, unable to believe what she just heard. She convinced herself that Axel was playing a prank on her, he just wanted to see her reaction. She stood from the bed. A deep frown spread across her face. “This is not the time to joke with me, Axel. We are discussing something serious here.” Axel scoffed loudly. “And what makes you think I’m joking? Do you think I’d willingly want to get married to Elsa even as a joke?” It was at that moment realization dawned on Rebecca. Axel wasn’t joking. She stumbled backwards, still trying to process the whole thing. Her heart was aching, and no matter how hard she tried to deny it, she couldn’t imagine Axel getting married to someone else. Who would take care of her? Who would call her Becca? Who would look at her with eyes filled of love? Who would make her feel like a queen? She would miss the feeling of being wanted.“I don’t get why you seem bothered. It’s a win for you, I won’

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Wrong decision

    It had been more than three hours since they returned home, and Rebecca was in the bedroom, still trying to wrap her head around the incident. She still found it unbelievable that she almost lost her life within the blink of an eye. She wanted to be alone, and Axel didn’t bulge, he decided to stay in the sitting room, leaving her to get over it. Now that she knew she had lots of enemies, she couldn’t think of someone in particular. Could it be Eric? Could it be don Alessandro? Or Axel’s enemies trying to get at him by hurting her. She was confused. Whoever it was, she decided it was time to get rid of her enemies, once and for all. She picked up her phone and placed a call on Kira. Surprisingly, the call was answered immediately.“Hey.”“Are you okay? Axel told me what happened.” Kira’s voice was heard. She sighed. “Physically, yes. Mentally, no.”“I understand how you feel, Rebecca, I truly do. You just have to take a deep breath and pretend none of those happened today.”
