The Don's hatred for the name Montage ran bone-deep, steeped in years of bitterness and blood.

His son—Diego—was the broken result of the Montage patriarch’s legacy. Once vibrant and calculating, now reduced to a trembling shell. Arabella had become his fixation. The final piece.

Still, none of this would have been possible without Lucas.

The Don had brought Lucas into the system himself—mentored him, shaped him. But that didn’t mean he’d wage a war over what now felt like a minor loss.

  • Devil's Bidding   Chapter 123: Him and I

    Arabella's POV.I felt sick most days.I woke up with the urge to throw up whatever I had eaten the night before. It came so suddenly, so violently, that I barely made it to the toilet in time. Bullet wounds were painful. Mine throbbed constantly, a dull, unrelenting ache beneath my skin. Lucas had some scars too… I didn’t know how he got them. He never said.But Lucas… Lucas was there. Day and night.I stepped out of the bathroom, still a bit weak, wiping my face with a towel.“Another tummy upset?” he asked quietly, his large hand already finding my back, rubbing gentle circles that sent tiny sparks racing down my spine.I hummed in response, too exhausted to form proper words, and leaned into him, pressing my face against his chest. He smelled so familiar cedarwood, faint gun oil, and that deep warmth that was purely him. But my own softer, floral scent had started clinging to him too from all the time we spent wrapped around each other. It made something possessive and needy st

  • Devil's Bidding   Chapter 122: New Foe

    “He’s throwing everything away!”Don Antonio’s voice thundered through the room as the glass flew from his hand, smashing into the mirror with a sharp crack. It shattered on impact, fragments scattering across the polished floor.He didn’t move.He stood there, chest rising and falling heavily, staring at the broken reflection of himself." Lucas…”“His mind seems made up, Don, and he's started the first phase." one of the men said cautiously from a distance. “Not just that, he’s already putting things in place for the girl. Enough to last her the rest of her life.”Antonio’s jaw clenched.“And he’s not just planning to weaken the Gentleman Society,” the man continued, more carefully now. “it's clear he intends to destroy it. Completely.”Silence settled.Heavy. “It’s clear he’s ready to ruin himself to do it.”A bitter, disbelieving chuckle left Antonio.He began to pace, slow at first, then sharper, agitation bleeding into every step.“What exactly has she done to him?” he demanded

  • Devil's Bidding   Chapter 121: Break her, Then fix her

    Days passed in a strange, unsettling quiet.It almost felt unreal, as though nothing had happened. As though the chaos of that night had been nothing more than a fleeting illusion. But it did happen. It stayed with him.The image would not leave his mind.Her body moving in front of his.The sound of the gunshot.The blood.Lucas tightened his hold around her where she slept against him, her breathing soft, unaware, peaceful. His arm was firm around her, almost too firm, as though he needed to feel her there to be certain she was still real.He had almost lost her.The thought alone made something in his chest tighten painfully.He lowered his head and pressed a quiet kiss against her hair, lingering there for a moment before carefully easing himself out of bed. He moved slowly so he would not wake her, his eyes lingering on her even after he stood.For days now, his mind had not rested.It had been constantly working. Thoughts, plans, possibilities, threats.Every move, every risk,

    A loud crash echoed through the room. Tatum stood behind his desk, hands moving through the wreckage with the kind of precision that only came from rage too large to contain. His face scrunched in anger and disbelief. "We're… we're sorry, boss—"“Sorry?”The word came out quiet. Too quiet.He turned.And in the next second, his fist connected.The man barely had time to react before Tatum grabbed him by the collar and drove another punch into his face. And another. And another.Bone met skin with sickening force. When he let go, the man folded. Blood welled from his split lip, pooling in the hollow of his throat."Not only did you fail." Tatum's voice had dropped to a rasp, each syllable scraped raw. "You shot her."His eyes were wrong and unhinged. "You'd better pray she's alive.""She'll live."The new voice came from the doorway. Calm."It was an arm shot."Tatum's hands stopped mid-clench.The room held its breath.He exhaled slowly, dragging a palm down his face, then walked

  • Devil's Bidding   Chapter 119: Who was it?

    “Arabella,” Lucas rasped, glancing down at her limp body sprawled across his chest, her head resting against him as he sped through the darkened highway. The dashboard lights flickered against her pale skin, her breathing shallow, uneven.“Hold on, please, doll,” he begged, his voice breaking as he pressed his hand against the wound on her arm, trying to stem the bleeding. “You’ll be taken care of, I swear it.”Blood seeped through his fingers. His hands were slick, trembling. Tears slid down his face, blurring his vision, but he didn’t dare take his foot off the gas.“I can’t lose you too,” he whispered, his throat tight with grief and fear.She had caught a bullet for him.For him.The thought tore through his mind again and again like shrapnel. He was almost loosing his mind. “Arabella, stay with me, okay?” he said hoarsely, glancing down. Her lashes fluttered weakly, and she nodded just enough for him to see. That tiny movement nearly broke him.He kept checking her at every tu

  • Devil's Bidding   118: A bullet for her lover

    Lucas was running out of time.Every move he made now felt like tightening the noose around his own neck. His mansion in the city had become porous. Too many eyes, too many mouths loyal to someone else. Don Antonio’s men were everywhere He needed to get Arabella out.Far away from the city.Back to the manor, the only place still untouched by the corruption spreading through his empire.But he couldn’t move rashly.Not when every misstep could alert Antonio.So he began slowly. Moving the household staff back first under the guise of “restructuring.” Clearing out the mansion little by little until only a handful remained. He’d learned patience the hard way and now, he used it like a weapon.For weeks, Lucas had played a dangerous game, one that could destroy him if he wasn’t careful. Since he couldn’t fight the Society outright, he decided to dismantle it piece by piece. Quietly. Systematically.Don Antonio warned him. Called him reckless. Told him he was digging his own grave.But
