Devil’s addiction 26
Chapter 37The tension between Lily and Eros had always been a slow-burning fire, restrained yet undeniable. Now, with the danger of Marcus still lingering in the shadows, it seemed to crackle even brighter, igniting something neither of them could ignore any longer.Lily sat on the edge of Eros’ bed, her fingers nervously twisting the fabric of her dress. The weight of the past few hours clung to her, making it hard to breathe. She felt small, almost breakable, as if one wrong move would shatter her completely. Eros stood near the window, his silhouette sharp against the moonlight, his hands clenched into fists as if trying to keep himself in check.“You’re still trembling,” he murmured, turning to face her. His voice was softer now, the sharp edges dulled by something more protective.“I just… I can’t stop thinking about it. About him.” Lily looked down at her hands, frustration and fear warring within her. Her voice quivered, and she swallowed hard. “I hate that he still has power

The air in the room was suffocating. Thick with tension, unspoken words, and something far more dangerous—retribution.Marcus sat still, bound to the chair, his smirk lingering despite the bruises marring his face. He had always been arrogant. Even in chains, he believed himself untouchable.Eros stood a step ahead of me, his presence a silent warning. But I wasn’t afraid. Not anymore.He had haunted my nightmares, controlled my life for so long. Now, he was the one at my mercy.“I hope you understand,” Eros said, his voice quiet, dangerous. “This isn’t just about business. It’s personal.”Marcus let out a rough chuckle. “Oh, I know. But you forget one thing, Eros. People like me? We don’t die easy.”Eros’ jaw clenched, his fingers twitching at his side as if restraining himself. I could feel the energy shifting, tightening like a noose.I took a step forward, feeling t

The name rang in my head like a death knell.Marcus.The man who had haunted my nightmares. The man who had stolen years of my life, twisted them into something dark and broken. The man who had shaped the worst parts of me, the scars I carried both seen and unseen.He was here.Lorenzo’s eyes flickered with something unreadable—concern, maybe, or perhaps calculation. “Lily, you need to stay here. This isn’t your fight.”I let out a breathless laugh, bitter and sharp. “Not my fight?” My fists clenched at my sides. “You have no idea how wrong you are.”His gaze hardened. “Eros wouldn’t want you involved.”A hollow, aching anger bloomed in my chest. “I don’t care what Eros wants.”Lorenzo sighed, rubbing a hand over his face, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he glanced over his shoulder as if debating something, then turned back to me. “Come on. But stay close.”I followed him out of the room, my heart hammering. The hallways felt darker now, the air thick with anticipation. I could hear di

Eros.He looked... exhausted.His black suit was slightly wrinkled, a rare sight for a man who usually carried himself with sharp precision. His hair, usually slicked back with effortless control, now held an unruly disarray, as though he had run his fingers through it too many times. Shadows clung beneath his eyes, a testament to sleepless nights and endless burdens. And yet, despite his weary state, there was still an unyielding sharpness in his posture, a cold edge in his gaze that could cut through steel.But when his eyes landed on me—something shifted.The hardness softened, just slightly, barely perceptible to anyone else. But I saw it. I felt it. The air between us was thick, heavy with words unspoken. A tension that held its breath, waiting for something to break it.Then, he did something unexpected.He took a step forward.Instinctively, my body tensed, a slight flinch that I couldn’t control. The movement was so small, so brief, but he noticed. His jaw tightened, his hand

Lily’s POVI sat in Lorenzo’s office, the silence stretching between us. The last few weeks had been… strange. Eros was gone. I was left under Lorenzo’s watch, and while he was kind in his own way, something about the emptiness in the mansion made me uneasy.Eros had said he’d be back in a few weeks, but I hadn’t heard anything. No calls. No messages. Nothing. My mind whispered cruel thoughts—maybe he wasn’t coming back at all.Lorenzo had tried to distract me. Movies, chocolates, small conversations. But my stomach twisted with anxiety every time I was left alone. Every night, I would lie awake in the large bed, staring at the ceiling, waiting… hoping… dreading.Tonight was no different.Lorenzo was seated behind his desk, focused on his laptop, but I could tell he was watching me from the corner of his eye. He had started to notice my rest
