Zayden’s POV

The warehouse sat on the edge of the industrial district, far enough from the city lights to feel isolated.

Two black cars were already parked outside when we arrived. No plates. No obvious guards in sight — which only meant they were well hidden.

Nico glanced at me as he put the car in park.

“You sure about this?”

I didn't hesitate. “I’m sure.”

I turned to look at him. “Everything and everyone is in place?”

He nodded. “Yeah, we got it covered.”

“Alright,” I said.

I stepped out. T

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 128 - Blood On Your Hands - II

    Zayden's POVI got my angle when the man stepped over the stones.Two seconds. That was all it took. He was calm and confident with his gun lowered at Nico's skull.I fired. Twice. And he dropped without a sound.My ears were ringing, and the clearing smelled of smoke and stone dust and something warm and metallic that I didn't want to name.Nico lay on his side with one arm stretched toward Rosa, fingers inches from hers. I dropped to my knees beside him and pressed two fingers against his throat. His pulse was thready, but it was there. Blood soaked through his jacket and down the side of his ribs."Nico." I shook him once. "Domenico. Look at me."His eyelids fluttered. His eyes found mine, glazed, wet."Zayden," he whispered.Then his head fell back, and he was gone.“Fuck.” I muttered.I turned to Bella. She was on her knees beside Rosa, both hands pressed to her chest, as though she could push the life back in. Her dress was dark to the waist. Her palms were slick. Her face was a

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 127 - Blood On Your Hands

    Bella’s POVI glanced around. "Where?"She reached into her coat and pulled out a small burner phone. She set it on the table between us.The phone rang.Serafina pressed a button. The line clicked open."Isabella.” Hiram’s voice came through."Marcello." My fingers dug into my knees. "Where are you?""I'm not coming.""What do you mean? I did everything you asked." I said."Did you?""Yes.”Marcello chuckled. “You know, Bella, there’s something I’ve always admired about your husband. His confidence. The way he walks into a room as though the entire world belongs to him. The way he believes he can anticipate every move his enemies make.”I swallowed hard.“But I am smarter than that." He continued. “Did you really think you could catch me against my will?”"Catch you?" My stomach turned. "What are you talking about?""I told you not to fuck with me. I told you not to fuck this up. And still, here we are. Did you really think you could trap me?""I'm not trapping you." I denied it. "I

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 126 - The Unexpected Woman

    Bella's POVI had spent almost an hour driving. The road to the chapel was empty.I checked the rearview mirror every few seconds, though I knew what I'd see. No headlights. No black cars. Only the dark ribbon of asphalt unrolling behind me, and the cypress trees leaning in on either side like people trying to listen.Thirty minutes behind, Zayden had said. For my safety.It was a good plan. I told myself that again and again, and I couldn't stop running through the ways it could fail. A trap. A knife. A man in the back seat I hadn't checked. Hiram laughing at me across a table while I begged.I made myself breathe. In. Out. The steering wheel was damp under my palms."Bella." Zayden’s voice came through, low and close, as if he were sitting beside me. I flinched, and then I exhaled so hard it shook."Are you okay?" He asked."I'm fine," I said, although I wasn’t."Where are you?"I read the last signpost. He murmured it back to someone I couldn't hear."Nico's behind you," he said. "

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 125 - Game Plan - II

    Bella’s POVMaria had me sit on the edge of the examination bed while she wrapped the cuff around my arm. The room smelled of antiseptic and the lavender soap she kept by the sink."Your blood pressure is just fine," she said, reading the numbers. "But how are you? How have you been feeling?""Much better." I nodded."No dizziness? No sickness this morning?"I managed a smile. "A little. It passes."She nodded and turned to the cabinet, then set a small paper cup with two pills and a glass of water in my hand. "Swallow these. They're good for you and the baby."The baby. It felt so weird to hear that.I swallowed them dry and handed the cup back. Then I downed the glass of water. For a moment, I just sat there, listening to my own breathing. A tiny human, and I still hadn't said a word to the man who'd helped make it.Maria watched me from across the room. She'd been Zayden's nurse for years, and she had a way of looking at people that made lying feel like a waste of effort."Have you

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 124 - Game Plan - I

    Zayden's POVBella pressed the speaker button, and Hiram's voice filled the dark."Well?" It was soft and unhurried, the voice I'd have known anywhere. "You said you wanted to talk, Isabella. So talk."My wife's fingers held the phone steady. Mine weren't. I curled my hand into the sheet and held on."I got your present," she said. "The one you sent to my home.""Wonderful." I could hear the smile. "I hope you liked it. It took a lot of effort.”"Why would I like it?" She shook her head. “It was…gruesome.”"Because he treated you like garbage, didn't he?” He paused, almost gentle. "I got you justice, Bella. Something your husband couldn't give you."My brow rose before I could stop it. Bella's eyes cut to me, sharp, and she shook her head once. Don't. I clenched my jaw and swallowed every word I wanted to say."Micah isn't innocent," she said evenly. "I know that. But he didn't deserve what you did to him."Hiram exhaled, and then he laughed, low and amused. "Cut the crap, Bella. You

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 123 - The Call

    Bella's POVI didn't share a bed with Zayden. I couldn't. I knew he was pissed at me, but at the same time, the feelings were mutual.He didn't come to look for me or even ask where I was, and that is when I knew the thought of the plan had upset him so much that I wasn't even enough for him to let go of his pride.But that didn't matter; I was going ahead with the plan whether or not he approved. I wasn't just doing it for the thrill of it. He was wrong; this was my battle as much as anyone else, so I was going to do whatever it takes to save myself and my baby – our baby.The next morning, I called a meeting with every single person who was present the previous day. Except for Lucia; she had gone back home."Why have you gathered us all here, Bella?" Tomás asked, slightly frustrated. "I only see Zayden based on appointments or in emergencies, and it seems like none of that is the case here."I didn't say anything at first, then I exhaled slowly."I called you all here today to let y

    Bella’s POVI woke to the sound of my bedroom door creaking open. Rosa slipped in carrying a garment bag over one arm and a silver tray of cosmetics in the other. The smell of fresh espresso and warm cornetti followed her, but my stomach still turned.“Buongiorno, mija,” she whispered, eyes soft w

    Bella’s POV The flight back to Venice dragged like a death sentence, but I didn’t sleep. I kept picturing my mother’s arms around me the second we landed. She was the only one who never obeyed Dad’s order to cut me off completely. Secret bank transfers. Burner phones at 2 a.m. just to hear

    Bella’s POV The loud pounding on my windshield cut through my sleep like a gunshot. My eyes flew open, my heart slamming against my ribs. For a second I didn’t even know where I was—just the cold glass, the smell of my own breath, and the ache in my neck from sleeping upright. “You can’t park h

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 1 - Bella

    Bella’s POV I wasn’t supposed to be home this early. The diner had been dead all afternoon, just two truckers nursing cold coffee and a drunk who kept calling me “sweet cheeks.” My manager shrugged and told me to clock out at six. Fine by me. My feet were killing me, my head was splitting, and al
