Devil's Bidding Chapter 142: His toothless
" I miss him,” Lucas admitted with an aching chuckle. “Toothless. I miss the both of them so much.” "I miss them both so much it feels like I’m breathing glass. I can see her I can watch her walk to work and back. But Amal? He’s always tucked away against her chest, hidden in that carrier like a chick under a protective hen. I can’t even get a glimpse of his chubby cheeks."He let out a heavy sigh. “Maybe I’m being greedy. I already get to see her.”His hand unconsciously stroked the small photo he kept in his pocket — the only image he had of his son, taken right after birth. A tiny, red, wrinkled newborn with a tuft of dark hair.“His only picture is him as a half-baked bean,” Lucas whispered with a sad chuckle. “Soft and red. Right from inside of her.”Alex watched his boss carefully, saying nothing. He had already started forming quiet plans — ways to let Lucas see his son without disrupting the fragile peace Arabella had built.For now, Lucas was content to love them from the s
Devil's Bidding Chapter 141: Secret Guardian
Arabella Life with Amal was a series of small, quiet miracles. He was such a good baby, almost as if he knew his mommy had been through a war and he didn't want to add to her burden. He slept through most of the night, and as I administered his medication punctually, I could see him getting stronger, his tiny cheeks filling out.But reality was never far behind. Money was a constant, gnawing shadow.“Mommy still has to get a job, snuggles,” I whispered one morning, strapping him into his baby bag for the day's walk. “And we’ll get a bigger house soon. I promise."One morning, I woke up to the sound of construction outside. The stairs and the entire building were suddenly being renovated. Workers were everywhere, replacing old railings, fixing cracks in the walls, and painting fresh coats. I was surprised the building had been neglected for years. The landlord had barely done anything before.But they were serious. Everything inside the apartment was preserved with care. Nothing wa
Devil's Bidding Chapter 140: Finally found
"Where’s Amal?" Lucas asked, his voice sounding thin in the sterile quiet of the ward. He was already looking toward Bassinet Number 4, his eyes searching for the tiny, dark-haired "blob" that had become his only anchor to sanity.The bassinet was empty. The sheets were gone. He frowned. "Oh, he and his mother were discharged this morning," the nurse replied, looking up from her charts with a warm smile.Lucas’s lips parted, but no sound came out. His eyes widened, then narrowed, a sudden, hollow ache opening in his chest."Thanks to your donations, they could finally afford to go home," she explained calmly. "He’ll still need to come back for regular treatments, but he’s strong enough to be in his own bed now."Lucas forced a stiff, jagged smile. "That’s... that’s good news."He stood there for a long moment, staring at the empty space. What was he to do now? The baby had become an important part of his routine. A very important person to him. The head nurse watched him, her heart
Devil's Bidding Chapter 139: Baby Hope
“I’m thinking of liquidating everything. The empire. The company, the shares... all of it,” Lucas muttered.Alex blinked, the sandwich nearly falling from his hand.“Boss!” he cried out, eyes wide with alarm. He reached out and grabbed Lucas’s hand, a wave of genuine panic washing over him.“Is this... is this like a dying wish? Are you okay? Please don't give up on life yet.”Lucas scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, looking away from Alex’s intense gaze.“You said it yourself—there are people who need it more. And you were right,” he muttered. “I think I finally know what I want to do.”“And that is?”“I’m going to squander my money and Don Antonio’s on actually profitable things. The man is old; he’ll be dead soon anyway. What does he need all those billions for?” Lucas let out a small, quiet smile.“I want to leave that world. Maybe travel

Devil's Bidding Chapter 138: Baby Amal
“I once imagined it,” Lucas admitted quietly to the evening sky.The confession was thin, nearly swallowed by the wind.After the storms had passed and the world had settled, he had allowed himself to dream of a quiet life. Of having a family. Of having children with her. He admitted it now to the empty air, the weight of the secret finally leaving his heart.He had pictured a daughter who looked like her. Had her dark hair, bright eyes, and that same stubborn, defiant little smile.The thought brought a small, fragile curve to his lips before reality came crashing back in, cold and unforgiving. He looked away, blinking rapidly at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.“Guess I wasn’t worthy,” he chuckled bitterly.“What do you think about school?” Lucas asked suddenly.Alex paused, his sandwich halfway to his mouth. “For?”“Me,” Lucas replied.Alex nearly choked. He coughed v
Devil's Bidding Chapter 115: The Beginning of his Obsession
Lucas had been little, but he still remembered the day he met Montague himself.He could vividly remember everything. The sterile white corridors, the faint smell of antiseptic, and the way the world seemed to go quiet when that man walked by.He had seen Arabella’s father speaking to the doctor, i
Devil's Bidding Chapter 114: A piece of Cake
Hours EarlierThe sky was a dull, muted gray, the kind of color that pressed on your chest and made breathing feel heavier. The color that reflected Lucas's dark mood and emotion. Lucas stood in front of Ariel’s grave, the cold wind tugging at his coat, damp earth clinging to his shoes.Today was
Devil's Bidding Chapter 113: Surprise!
Lucas had arrived home much later than usual that night.The rain had left his hair damp, his jacket clinging to his shoulders, and his shoes caked with mud. He was exhausted. Body, mind, and soul. All he wanted was silence, a dark room where he could finally be alone with the thoughts clawing at
Devil's Bidding Chapter 112: Furious
Arabella I walked back into the house, the quiet swallowing me whole. A sigh escaped before I could stop it.Lucas once told me that we couldn’t change the past. He made sure I was okay, even when he wasn’t. And yet, on the one day that belonged to him… I hadn’t even wished him a happy birthday.“
