Devil's Bidding Chapter 27: Not your life!
Lucas paced the length of the corridor restlessly like a caged predator, hands clenched at his sides, jaw locked tight.What the hell had she been thinking?It wasn't what he was thinking right? He asked himself in doubt. One moment she was eating, suddenly obedient for once, too obedient, and the next she was on the floor, gasping for air, her body convulsing in his arms. For a terrifying second,it seemed her heart had stopped. She'd gone limp. And now she was behind closed doors, being attended to, while he could do nothing but wait.Minutes dragged by like hours.Finally, the doors creaked open, and the doctor stepped out, removing his gloves with practiced calm.“Sir,” the man began, “it appears the young miss suffered an allergic reaction to something in her breakfast.”Lucas froze mid-step. His eyes sharpened, fixing on the doctor with a cold, unreadable stare. “So it’s confirmed.”“Yes, anaphylactic shock. Severe, but she’s stabilizing. She'll be okay."“Beth!” Lucas barked
Devil's Bidding Chapter 26: Allergies
"The next union is coming up at The Gentlemen’s Society," Don Antonio announced, his voice casual as he reached for his glass of aged brandy. "You’re expected to bring your new pet."He didn’t need to elaborate. The message was clear."It’s tradition. New acquisitions are to be showcased."Lucas’s knife slowed, then stopped against his plate. He didn’t look up immediately, but his grip on the cutlery tightened for the briefest of moments before he placed them down with controlled grace."Let’s see how crushed and broken she is by then," Don Antonio added, his lips curving into a faint smile that never reached his eyes.Lucas finally raised his head. His eyes were void of expression, a mask he wore with ease."I’ll pass," he said simply, rising from the table."You can’t," Antonio responded sharply, not missing a beat."She’s not a personal indulgence. She’s part of our cause."Lucas turned slightly, just enough to meet the Don’s gaze over his shoulder."She’s my property. My responsi
Devil's Bidding Chapter 25: Dinner
Arabella I stood frozen in the center of the bedroom, stark baked, heart pounding, staring at him.He stalked toward me, slow and deliberate, and my pulse raced wildly.What did he want? What was he going to do?I fought the urge to flinch, meeting his gaze with defiance.His eyes roamed my body, lingering, and I cringed, hating every second.He stopped inches away, our eyes locked in a stubborn standoff.His hand grazed my chin, and a shiver rippled through me, betraying my resolve.The cold bite of his touch, the weight of his stare, I felt my body tighten, nipples hardening against my will.I stood paralyzed, caught between the chill and a strange, unnameable heat.My skin burned, as if set aflame.“Don’t touch me!” I roared, voice cracking.He seized my face, pulling me against him. My bare skin pressed flush to his, the contact overwhelming.“You still haven’t learned, have you?” he taunted, eyes glinting with amusement.His hands slid to my bare back, lifting me closer. My brea

ArabellaI lay there, shivering on the cold tiles, long past the point of knowing how much time had passed. Minutes? Hours? I couldn’t tell. My body ached from lying curled in that corner, but I didn’t move.My eyes were dry now, completely. Every tear had already been shed. I had cried until my chest burned, until there was nothing left to give. Now, all that remained was fury. Cold, bitter fury.Rage pulsed through my veins hotter than any fever. I hated him.I hated Lucas.That twisted, heartless bastard who had humiliated me, broken me down, and played me like a puppet. Everything about him, his voice, his gaze, the way he carried himself like the world should bow at his feet. The fear I once felt had vanished, burned away by what he’d done to me. There was only hate now. A hate so sharp, it sliced through the numbness like glass.Every time he demanded something, I swore I would give him the exact opposite. I would be his thorn, his nightmare. If misery was the only power I h

The house was silent, an eerie, oppressive kind of quiet that only seemed to make the place feel larger. Only the soft, intermittent beeping of electronics and the echo of Lucas’s footsteps broke through as he climbed the grand staircase, his hand trailing absently along the polished mahogany rail.He moved with purpose, heading straight for her room.“Sir,” Beth called softly from the hallway, intercepting him before he could open the door.Lucas paused and turned slightly, his expression unreadable."How is she?" he questioned. “I’m sorry,” Beth began, keeping her voice low. “We couldn’t carry out your instructions. We told her it was from you. That she had to eat. To let us treat her injuries. But she just sat there. Ignored us entirely.”Lucas's irritation was clear. He didn't approve f their incompetence. She hesitated.“She even threw something at one of the maids,” she added. "That’s when we left her alone." Lucas simply nodded, his face blank as stone. Without another word
Devil's Bidding Chapter 22: Broken
Arabella sat in the car, completely detached from her surroundings as the vehicle glided smoothly through the landscape. Her eyes, swollen and red-rimmed, no longer produced tears, they had dried up miles ago, leaving behind only a dull ache and a crushing hollowness in her chest. She didn’t blink. Didn’t move. Her body was present, but her soul was somewhere far away, drifting where no one could reach it.When the car stopped, a man opened the door without a word, and she was transferred to a waiting helicopter. Still, she remained mute, unmoving, numb to the sound of spinning blades and the gust of wind that whipped at her hair as they took off. The flight was short, a blur of vibrations and noise that she barely registered. When they landed, she was quietly ushered into yet another car.It was only when the second vehicle rolled to a gentle stop that a voice finally pierced the fog in her mind.“We’re here,” the man beside her announced.The words were simple, but they shattered t
