Healing The Devil I Once Loved CHAPTER 237
ELIX Then I looked around at the clean walls, the untouched food on the table, and the real light coming through the window above us. I thought about how long I had waited for May to deliver something useful and how many times she had come back to me with excuses.There was no money, documents…I kicked her. She folded forward with a gasp, hands going to her side, and I stepped around her so she had to turn to keep looking at me."Useless," I said, to make sure she understood why she was exactly useless. "Do you understand how completely and specifically useless you are?""Elix—""I sent you in with one job." I walked a slow circle around her and she turned on her knees to follow me, which was pathetic and correct. "One job. And I didn't even ask you to do worse because I mapped the entire route for you and told you exactly which nights the security rotation shifted. I gave you the combination. I gave you the window. I gave you everything, and was waiting for you." I stopped in fro
Healing The Devil I Once Loved CHAPTER 236
Elix A smile crossed my face.I looked at the boy again.He laughed at something Renzo said and the laugh was short, bright, and unmistakably familiar.Hello, aren't you useful?___________Hawk may look like the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he wasn't. He was exactly the kind of man I had spent years learning how to handle.He stood at the warehouse entrance with his arms crossed and his jaw set. I chuckled slowly when I caught his eyes doing what men's eyes always did when I walked toward them in a dress cut the way this one was cut. I stopped a few feet from him and tilted my head."You're the one who fought for me the other day," I said softly. I already knew his name, his rank, how long he had worked for Renzo, and the name of the woman he was trying to get back together with in Palermo. "I've been here," he said. One thing with Hawk was never underestimate his softness. His eyes were hard but his voice was equally soft. "For fifteen years," I smiled as this impressed m

Elix I had been waiting for thirty minutes.Thirty fucking minutes in a hospital room that smelled like fresh flowers while sitting on the edge of a chair that was not comfortable, wearing a dress that cost more than most people's monthly salary, yet Renzo had not looked at me once with the kind of attention I deserved.So I decided to remind him.I crossed the room to where he was standing by the window, turned him around by the shoulder, and kissed him before he could object.And for about four seconds, it was going well.His hands came up to my arms and I felt him breathe in. I pressed closer and tilted my head.There it is, there's the part of him that still responds.I was just deciding to deepen it when I heard the door open behind me. My lips curled against his mouth.Perfect timing.I pressed my hands flat against his chest and leaned in further, making it a proper scene for whoever had just walked in. Let them see and understand exactly where things stood.All of a sudden, R

Zaria “Stop it,” I snapped. “You’re not fooling anyone. You’re standing here after admitting you leaked everything, and all you can do is ask about my son’s age in ten different ways? Go plan your imaginary wedding and leave us alone.”But it was as if what I said fell on her ears like dust. She peeked again, rising on her tiptoes. “He has such striking features for his age. What is he… seven and a half? Eight? I met a boy his age at a charity event last month. Remarkable how some children look older or younger depending on their genes. Renzo has strong genes, doesn’t he? Or maybe it’s someone else’s. You’d tell me the truth, right? For old times’ sake.”I was about to slam the door harder this time, but she wedged her designer shoe in the gap. “Elix, I swear to God—”“Come on, Zaria. Don’t be like that. I’m just making conversation. A boy that age must be in school already. Second grade? Third? They change so much between seven and nine. I could calculate it if you just gave me the

ZARIA “Alright, buddy. Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!”Rai giggled weakly. I forced a smile, but inside I felt torn. Days blurred like this with Wang trying, me deflecting, and Rai’s sad eyes following me.Later that afternoon, there was another delivery of more fresh flowers. This time with a note: I’ll wait as long as it takes. For both of you. I set them beside the others without a word.“Mom,” Rai said during his evening meds. “Anna came by earlier? I heard you yelling in the hall. You said you only tolerated Renzo for revenge. Is that true? What revenge?”I sat on the edge of his bed. “Some bad people hurt you, baby. Renzo helped make sure they paid. But that doesn’t erase everything else.”Rai looked down. “I wish you’d let him stay longer. He didn’t yell or anything. He just sat and told me about his boats…. said one day he’d take me. Then you came back and told him to go. His face looked really sad like mine when I miss you at sc
Healing The Devil I Once Loved CHAPTER 232
Zaria I sat by Rai’s hospital bed with the beeps of the monitors ticking like a clock…One more week in this sterile room… and every hour felt longer than it should. I took a deep breath. Jesus. Rai's recovery was taking too long. During our afternoon nap, someone had brought fresh white lilies mixed with red roses, and placed them on the table, right in our sight. I stared at it and it stared right back at me. Deep down, I knew Renzo had them delivered again this morning. A card was tucked in: For you and our boy. I’m not going anywhere. I hadn’t touched them.“Mom,” Rai said softly. His small voice pulled me out of my thoughts. He looked paler today, even after the surgery, and his eyes were fixed on the bouquet. “Why don’t you like the flowers? They’re pretty. He brought them himself yesterday, but you made him leave again.”I sighed, squeezing his hand gently. “Rai, it’s not that simple. Mr. Renzo… he’s complicated. I appreciate what he did, but we don’t need him here every d

RENZO A week changed everything.And it was not because time healed or any of that bullshit, but because my body finally stopped lagging behind my head. On the second day of my recovery, the shaking eased and the weakness stopped embarrassing me. I could walk without the crutches by the fifth day

ZARIA That also meant my days of ‘normal’ were over.Was it Grace? Her voice was unmistakable over the landline. No. Grace wouldn’t do that. Reasons?My mind gave me two solid reasons and the first was: She wasn't a hacker. Secondly; she was old. I exhaled slowly and shook my head, forcing the tho

ZARIA Work resumed in a way that felt almost surreal.After the rush of adrenaline, and the bright satisfaction of finally scoring a strategic goal against Rosita Dominico, life simply… went on. I couldn't place it.Normal was the best way to describe it.The patients we desperately wanted— came

RENZO I laughed quietly. “It doesn’t.”“It should,” he said. “Next time, you might not wake up to a snoring nurse.”My gaze drifted to the door.Somewhere outside, voices murmured. My men were waiting and watching.I closed my eyes briefly. Shit. It was too early to die. There were too many loose
