His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 114 - Nobody Is Listening To Us Now
Bella’s POVZayden hadn't let go of my hand since the foyer.He steered me into the small sitting room off the east wing, the one Giulia called "the quiet room," and sat me down on the sofa before taking the seat next to me. His thigh pressed against mine. His other hand stayed on his knee, tapping a slow rhythm I'd learned to be afraid of.Neither of us spoke. Nothing safe was left to say.I kept looking at the ceiling, the lamps, the carved edge of the mantel. Every piece of the room I'd found beautiful looked like it could be hiding an ear.Thirty minutes passed, maybe more. Then the door opened.Nico came in first, with Tomás behind him, and two other men. Dario, the head of security and Enzo — who I hadn’t seen in a while. Nico carried a folded black cloth in both hands, held the way a person carries something that might go off."Zayden," he said."Show me."Nico laid the cloth on the coffee table and opened it.Five tiny black devices sat in the fabric, each smaller than my thum
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 113 - I Dare You
Zayden’s POVI kept the gun pointed at Alejandro’s face.“Say that again, I dare you.”Rafael immediately moved in front of his father.“Put the gun down, Romano!”Alejandro didn’t move. If anything, he looked almost pleased that he’d managed to provoke me.“Go on,” he said. “Show my daughter exactly who you are.”“Father, stop!” Bella cried.“I’m very sure Isabella knows exactly who I am,” I growled. “Now, all that’s left is for me to prove your point. And I will.”Something flickered in his expression.I didn't take my eyes off him.This man had spent years looking for reasons to hate me. He had blamed me for his wife’s death, for Bella’s suffering, for every terrible thing that had happened since he knew my name.And now he stood in my home, questioning my ability to love and protect my wife.I wanted to put a bullet between his eyes.God help me, I wanted to.I cocked the gun now, the sound igniting a gasp from everyone in the room. Bella's eyes widened and then she stepped betwe
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 112 - Bloodied Man On My Doorstep
Zayden’s POVI stood slowly. My mind was already spinning with questions.When I turned to face Bella, her face had gone pale. Her hands were shaking.She looked like she wanted to run, hide or maybe the ground could open up and swallow her. "Bella…Who is this?" I asked. She didn't answer. Instead, she looked at him like she’d just seen a ghost."I’m not going to ask again,” I said, trying to contain my anger. “Who is the bloodied man on my doorstep?”Bella opened her mouth to speak and whispered something I didn’t quite hear.I heard Lucia gasp from the corner. Alejandro’s mouth fell open and Rafael looked like he wanted someone to shoot him.The air in the room suddenly went still and I could tell everyone knew more than they were letting on. "Well, it seems like everyone knows who it is," I said, my voice cold. "So is anyone going to answer the question?"Bella was breathing heavily now. She looked at the floor. At the walls. Anywhere but me.“Talk!” I yelled."He's..." Bella sw
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 111 - Welcome To The Villa
Zayden’s POVI burst through the villa's double doors, the sound echoing through the entire house.I got here as fast as I could. On the way, I couldn’t help but imagine the worst.“Bella!” I called. “Isabella.”“Signore Romano.” Giulia’s voice stopped me. “You’re here.” She looked worried. “Giulia. Where is Bella?”"She's in her room." Giulia pointed toward the stairs. "She's awake. Her friend is with her."I didn't wait for anything else. I took the stairs two at a time, my heart pounding in my chest. The hallway stretched endlessly before me until I reached her door.I pushed it open.Bella was standing by the window. Lucia was by her side. They both looked up when I walked in.Bella's face was pale. Her eyes were tired. She looked more worried than she sounded."Zayden—"I crossed the room and pulled her into my arms."Are you okay?" I pulled back, cupping her face in my hands. "What happened? The nurse said you collapsed. Are you hurt? Do you need—""I'm fine." She placed her ha
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 110 - The Long Await
Bella’s POVI woke up to the smell of lavender.For a moment, I thought I was back in my old room at my father's house. The sheets were soft. The light was warm. Everything felt familiar.Then I opened my eyes.A figure was sitting across from me—a familiar one. I blinked. Once. Twice. Until my vision cleared."Lucia?" I managed to speak.She looked up from her phone, her expression shifting from worry to relief. "Hey. You're awake.""What are you—" I tried to sit up, but my head spun. I pressed my hand against my forehead. "What happened?""You collapsed." Lucia set her phone down and leaned forward. "I came in not too long ago. The staff called for help. And they called Zayden. He's on his way home."I stared at her. “How long have I been out?”"You've been out for about an hour," she said. "They brought a nurse in. She said it was exhaustion. Stress. Dehydration. The usual stuff that causes fainting spells like this."I didn't answer.Lucia studied me. Her eyes moved over my face—
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 109 - What Happened To My Wife?
Zayden’s POV“It seems like we’re done here,” Nico said, walking toward me. “The package has been carefully counted and we will start supplying first thing tomorrow morning.”“Good.” I breathed. “Now we can focus on other matters. What were you saying about meeting Alejandro personally?” “I reached out when you asked me to. I don’t think he was in the right frame of mind to talk to me.”“Why do you say so?” I asked.“Well, he was very specific in his response.” Nico shrugged. “And what response would that be?”“He yelled, and I quote…’I am not going to the home of that slimy fucking daughter thieving snake.” Nico exhaled. “Seems like you have a long way to go with your father-in-law.”I let out a breath. “I have no idea why Bella wants them around. She is afraid, I get it, but having Alejandro in my home…that’s going to take a lot from me.”“Well, Bella is your wife,” Nico said. “You signed up for this. How do you plan to take it from here?”I thought for a minute then I grunted. “F
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 4 - Puppet Bride
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
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 3 - Bad News At Homecoming
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
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 2 - Goodbye, ex
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
