Devil In Disguise Headlines
Curtis A Blazing Inferno. I glared at the top headline on the Silverwood Daily newspaper. The damn media. I had paid a king's ransom to make sure Inferno's plight didn't make headlines. The damn media had double-crossed me. Of course they would. They didn't care about feeding the public the truth. There was no such thing. All they cared about was fattening their bank accounts. That's why I had made sure to give them more than they could possibly get in sales if they splattered pictures of Inferno across their pages—attempted to, at least. Because clearly, I'd failed. The headlines infuriated me but that was only until I read the actual news. "The infamous owner of Inferno, Curtis Arciero, suspected of torching his own nightclub to evade police investigation. According to anonymous sources, the police and National Crime Investigation Agency have had Curtis under their radar for years for uncountable organized crimes including illegal arms deals and massive drug trafficking. The ho
Devil In Disguise Charmed away
The women were getting along better than I thought. Klara had only been in Silverwood for a few hours but she had charmed my wife away. The two of them were currently lost in some discussion about some celebrity women had a huge crush on. I may not know much about Angelica but I knew my sister, which is how I knew what she was doing. She was roping my wife into discussions about men to make me jealous. What I hated most was the fact that it was working. It was already enough that she had disappeared for hours last night and I had to battle the urge to go looking for her. I didn't even know when she returned, she'd been out so late. It was infuriating that I didn't even have the right to know where she was or who she was talking to. And just when I thought I couldn't possibly be angrier, my evil nephew climbed onto Angelica's lap and wrapped his arms around her neck. I would have thought he was only doing it because he liked her but when Angelica showered him with attention and fon
Devil In Disguise Cunning Arcieros
Angelica Klara was a darling. I couldn’t believe I would ever think that way of any Arciero but there was no other way to describe her. For a woman of her beauty and qualifications, I had expected a grumpy boss lady—maybe those only existed in movies? Whatever this was, the last thing I needed was a reason to think an Arciero could be nice. I had already made that mistake once and no matter what, I couldn’t lose myself this time. Not even to the charm of the two cutest kids I’d ever met. To be fair, I had never really allowed myself to be this close to kids. Maybe they were always cute and I just didn’t have the chance to find out. Lizzie was currently painting something at the table while I subtly drilled Klara for as much information about Curtis as I could get. I would have learned to learn more about the rest of the family but I would be treading on dangerous grounds. “What’s the deal with Curtis and the kids, anyway?” I pried. I had realized how stiff their relationship was.
Devil In Disguise The next target
One year ago. “What’s a woman’s greatest weapon?” The Viper asked me, hovering over me with his intimidating frame. It wasn’t how tall or bulky he was that terrified me, but the thought of what he would do if I got his question wrong. I had to think about it for a while. If he had asked that question a year ago, the answer would have been different. But after spending two and a half years getting me ready for an inevitable battle, he soent the last six months teaching me how to learn a man and get under his skin. He certainly wasn’t looking for answers like “her skill” or “her wits”. “Her beauty?” I tried, trying not to cower away when he inched closer. “Her tears, silly.” He brushed past me and sat down in the seat exclusively reserved for him, which looked more like a burgundy throne and was also the only chair in the room. “It’s time for you to master the art of crying. I want you to be so good at it that you can cry on command and stop on command.” That was the most ridiculou
Devil In Disguise The way to a woman's heart
Curtis“I knew it.” I cursed when I caught sight of my open bedroom door. I knew Giancarlo wouldn’t be able to stop himself from confronting Angelica. Was he out of his mind?Sure enough, by the time I entered my room, Angelica looked like she was seconds away from passing out while Giancarlo had his arms crossed before her. He turned and eyed the fruit platter I was carrying in my hands with a mocking grin. I glared at him, daring him to say a word.It wasn’t what it looked like—I wasn’t taking his advice about the way to a woman’s heart. I was only feeding my wife because it was the least I could do after what she’d been through.While he didn’t say a word, his reaction was in sync with Klara’s when she caught me trying my best to make the prettiest platter I could come up with.“Get lost.” I shooed him off and placed the platter on the bedside table beside which Angelica was standing. When he finally left, I nudged Angelica to sit back on the bed, stabbed a mango piece and brought
Devil In Disguise The angel of death
As soon as I pulled into the parking lot of Silverwood Psychiatric Hospital, mother sprinted over and practically wanted to jump into the car when I didn’t get out fast enough. Her illness had turned her into the purest version of her I had ever seen.Instead of smiling and pretending to be alright while the world crumbled down on her, she wore her emotions on her sleeve now with the innocence of a child. She allowed herself to feel things she wouldn’t let anyone see before, to whine about not liking it here because it kept her away from me. Sometimes I thought of it as a blessing in disguise—only if she was honest could I truly take care of her.“Curtis!” she punctuated her screech with a warm hug and went on a rant about how much she missed me. It didn’t take long for her to take notice of Angelica who had just gotten out from the passenger door. “Is this your wife? Heavens, she is more beautiful than in the video call. Come on closer, dear.”Angelica’s cheeks flushed as she walked
Devil In Disguise Mismatched
AngelicaJust when I thought nothing about the Arciero family could faze me, I turned out to be my own enemy. It had to remain that way—I couldn’t tell Curtis the real reason why I wasn’t in any danger for killing Miles. That was not all. Curtis was fascinated by me. He didn’t say it out aloud but there was that hint of admiration in his tone when he spoke of the Angel of Death. Would he feel the same way if he found out the real person behind that nickname? It did make me wonder why he thought he was talking about a woman. When I learned about my nickname, I had made sure everyone thought the Angel of Death was a man so they wouldn’t make the connection between my name and that nickname. No one knew who I was except Spider and The Viper.“Why do you think she’s a woman? Have you met her?” I asked, trying not to sound too curious about it. “No one has seen her and lived to tell the tale.” He didn’t flinch. “But she kills like she has all the time in the world to do it, doling out th
Devil In Disguise Life-or-death promise
Curtis“What kind of results do you hope for?” Klara asked as soon as I arrived at the hospital changing room. I had made my way over earlier so I would have an unhurried conversation with her before she got ready to go into the OR. I reclined against the table without answering her. The last thing I wanted was for her to make a prank out of it once she knew what I was hoping for. “It’s not my business. Just spill it.” “Alright.” She gave me a white envelope, which I frantically opened and let my eyes trail to the end of the document. I had no interest in the genetic mumbo jumbo filling the rest of it. “Less than 1% DNA compatibility?” I read aloud, glancing at Klara. “What does that even mean?” “They could be total strangers and the tiny percentage is because of how low the quality of their samples was.” Klara took off her wedding rings with a mischievous grin. “Or, it could mean they originated from the same clan. Distant relatives. Have you ever randomly met a stranger and they
