Devil's Bidding Chapter 53: New gift
Arabella “I got you something. Come.”I hesitated at the threshold of the dimly lit dining room, my fingers curling into fists as my eyes narrowed on Lucas. He was up to something, I could feel it in the smug way he lounged in his chair, a predator patiently waiting.There was no way this was a harmless gesture. Not after the spectacle I made this morning, defying him with sharp words, telling him I’d rather be a dog than let him touch me whenever he pleased. His so-called gift? It wouldn’t be anything good. It never was.Still, my feet carried me forward, slow and cautious, until I stood before him.Slowly I went down to what by usual position should be whenever we had dinner. The cold floors. “Arabella,” he purred, my name dripping from his lips like molten silk.A shiver licked down my spine at the way he said it. I tilted my head back, forced to look up at him, and in that moment, I was painfully aware of how close we were. I could see the faint shadow of stubble along his jaw,
Devil's Bidding Chapter 52: Dog not Doll
Arabella I stood on the other side of the door, completely mortified.What the hell had just happened?I spun around the bathroom, pacing like a caged animal, my heart thundering against my ribs, my skin still tingling with the memory of his touch. I had almost come undone—right in Lucas’s arms.Pathetic.My eyes caught my reflection in the mirror, and the sight made my stomach twist. My lips swollen, bruised from his kiss. My cheeks flushed. My robe barely clinging to my body, hanging off my shoulders like some cheap afterthought.What on earth was I thinking?What the hell was wrong with me?Lucas.He had kissed me. And I—stupidly, weakly had let him. Worse. I had kissed him back.I gripped the edge of the sink, knuckles whitening.This was wrong. All of it.Crazy.How could I want him? How could my body betray me like this?He was playing his sick, twisted games, baiting me, mocking me, and like a fool, I had danced to his tune. I could picture him on the other side of that door,
Devil's Bidding Chapter 51: Wanting Lucas
Home.This empty place, haunted and soaked in nightmares. A glistening prison for two. The moment he had stepped into his room, her scent had hit him soft, warm, maddening. For a fleeting second, it felt like peace.As if the fury he had walked in with was dissolving, leaving him suspended, frozen in space.And then, he laughed.Laughed at the absurdity of it all.What was he thinking, making her crawl into his bed?And then she had stepped in, looking like sin itself wrapped in silk,And for a heartbeat, he almost forgot.Almost forgot that this place was a prison—A cage meant for the two of them.Then she had the audacity to call it home.If those words had come from anyone else’s lips, he would’ve hurled them out the door.But it was her.And with her, he did the opposite.The opposite of what his mind demanded as he had been doing for several weeks now. Held her even closer. He hated her. Despised her.Because one man’s selfishness to keep her alive had buried his own family i

Arabella. “Lucas,” I called, taking a tentative step toward him—but I stopped.I couldn’t move any further.He didn’t look approachable. No. The man standing before me now was cold, unreadable, like a wall I couldn’t climb.His gaze… it pinned me in place. Dark, sharp, and unnervingly quiet. I was trapped under it, as if an invisible leash had wrapped around my throat, holding me there. I could only breathe when he allowed it.Then, without a word, his eyes left mine.His fingers went to the buttons of his shirt, methodical and slow, as if he had all the time in the world. Each button he undid revealed more of the man beneath—hard muscle. “Where’d you go?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I tried—God, I tried—to keep the longing out of it.But I failed.He hadn’t told me where he went or before he left. Before now he would keep me updated. Not a word. He left for days without explanation and now, suddenly, here he was—like a storm rolling in, no warning, no mercy.He didn’t
Devil's Bidding Chapter 49: Who I belong to
“Is that a threat, Don?” Lucas asked, his tone deceptively quiet, each syllable carrying the weight of a blade poised for the kill.A low, humorless chuckle rumbled from the older man's chest. He shifted his weight on his cane, tilting his head slightly, the sharp gleam in his eyes matching Lucas’s.“You know me well, Lucas,” the Don said smoothly. “Don Antonio Gonzales does not issue threats.”Lucas’s lips pressed into a razor-thin line, his voice cold as steel. “And Lucas Storm,” he said, stepping forward, “does not take kindly to statements like that.”The silence stretched, taut and volatile.Then, Antonio’s lips curled into a smile, though it didn’t touch his eyes. “Tense evening, isn’t it?” he remarked with a mock casualness, tapping his cane lazily. “We’re practically family, after all. Shouldn’t we be able to speak frankly?”Lucas’s stare remained unflinching. “Family,” he echoed, the word bitter on his tongue.His lips twitched, not quite a smile.“Is that so?” he murmured, h
Devil's Bidding Chapter 48: Threat
Memories from years ago flashed violently through his mind.Ariel and Arabella, two fragile little girls, from two completely different worlds, receiving treatment at the hospital.The doctors had said Ariel’s illness was minor. Manageable. She had a good chance. She was supposed to survive.But that day…That cursed day when everything unraveled—They told him Ariel was dead.He had stood there, a boy frozen in time, staring at them in disbelief.His heart had stopped.The bond, the tether, the invisible string that had always connected him to his twin was severed in an instant.Gone.Just like that.But her heart—Her heart hadn’t stopped.It was still beating…Only, it now lived inside another girl.A girl deemed more valuable.More important than his “insignificant” sister.Arabella.They were twins, yes.But Ariel had always been the fragile one, the delicate flower he was sworn to protect.He was the strong one. The one who had to watch over her.The younger him had stood there,
