Devil's Daughter

Lorraine Lebedeva As I disembark from the sleek limousine, Dante's warm greeting echoes in my ears. I offer a coy smile while adjusting my attire, ensuring that my makeup is pristine before stepping into the bustling nightclub.My choice of attire for the evening is a daring red leather dress, hugging every curve, and accentuating my bare décolletage. I pair this with a classic black stiletto, adding an extra touch of sophistication and glamour.Dante's hesitant question hangs in the air, his apprehension palpable. I suppress a smirk, inwardly relishing in the fear that I so effortlessly evoke in others. With a small nod, I reassure him of my confidence, steeling myself to enter the club, determined to make a lasting impression.Confession time. I fibbed. Papa's iron grip never releases after dusk. Except, he's out of the country and won't return for another forty-eight hours... so I have two glorious days of liberation. And, my dear friend Katina is turning twenty today.Being the of

Lorraine Lebedeva four weeks and I haven't heard from the person. I've tried so damn hard to distract myself but nothing is working, that's why I have agreed to accompany my father for his business trip to France. Which is today. "Everything is packed?" Mother questioned. "Yes mother." I drop my head into my hands. "I just need a break from being in the house all the time." Mother sighs, shutting her eyes as she pinches the bridge of her nose. "I know sweetheart, But soon it's your birthday." She says gently. Smiling politely I placed my hand onto hers and gently stroked the back of her hand. "I know you're worried but everything will be okay, I'm with dad and Dante so there's no need to be paranoid." Mother stiffness suddenly, she looks down then up for exactly five seconds before turning away. "Be safe, okay." She whispers it sounded more like a promise than a demand. "I'll come back like I always do." I giggle as I try to lighten up the mood. She takes a deep breath before stan

Lorraine Lebedeva There comes a time where you have full control over a situation or you don't. Right now my mind is trying to process what just happened. I don't know if I should be freaking out or act normal, something is pulling me back from informing my father that I crossed paths with Raphael Romano. "Lora!" I snapped out my thoughts and looked around to check who called for me. "Are you okay?" Haletta questioned as she placed her hand on my shoulder. I turned to her. "Hmm, yeah sure, sure. I'm okay." I mumbled. She gave me an unsure look and lifted a brow. "Sure?" She asked. "Yeah, I'm just tired. Can we leave?" I asked as I tugged my hair behind my ear. "Uh, yeah sure let's go." She said then stood up from her seat and grabbed all her things. I took my things as well and we paid for our deserts. ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ "Hey, are you okay?" Haletta asked. "I'm good." "You weren't fine when I dropped you off." She whispered in a worried tone. I slightly chuckled. "I told you I was

Lorraine Lebedeva I took a deep breath. "There's something I have to tell you." Father's smile faded when he noticed I wasn't smiling. "What is it sweetheart?" he asked. I placed my hands on the table, Father wrapped his hands around mine giving it a comforting squeeze. His eyes met mine and I looked away. I don't have the heart to look him in the eye. I chew the inside of my cheek. My palms are starting to get sweaty. I'm nervous, I have no idea how he will react to this. Before I could speak, fathers phone vibrated on the table. He read the ID caller then shifted his attention back to me. "It's important," he spoke with guilt. I sighed letting go of his hands. I put on my best smile, nodding my head up and down as I tugged a few strands of my hair behind my ear. "This will only take a minute." He picked up his phone hence stood up then he walked out of the restaurant. He mouthed sorry. I sighed. Should I tell him? Not sure, half of me wants to inform father about this b

Lorraine Lebedeva"Which restaurant are we going to?" Haletta questioned as she entered the car. "Our place." Rhett said.I turned around and tried to run back inside but Marcello was blocking my chance to escape.I awkwardly cleared my throat, tucking a few strands of hair behind my ear.I entered the vehicle and Marcello shut the car door."I have a weird feeling about them," I whispered to Haletta. "You're just overreacting." she waved me off.Seriously, one thing I hate about Haletta is that she never listens to anyone, she's very stubborn.I rolled my eyes then crossed my arms. "Just shake it off." Haletta drawled."I just have a bad feeling about them," I answered absently. Haletta looked at me under her dark eyelashes with her infamous pursed-lips-you-ruin-everything expression.I hate it whenever I'm out, whether with my cousins or friends and I have a bad feeling about this place or person- I inform them but they brush me off and always say 'i ruin the fun'.I think I'm alway
