His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 15 - Men Against Men - I
Bella’s POVMatteo looked at Zayden with an anger that stopped the entire room.“Zayden…” he started smoothly. “I would say it’s a pleasure but I’m not a very good liar.”Zayden chuckled. “Come on, Matteo.” He said. “Let’s not be like that tonight. In fact.” He paused, sitting across from us, crossing his legs. “Let’s catch up.”Matteo stiffened, then pulled me closer to him like I was an anchor.“Very well,” he said. He waved his hand ordering more drinks for the table.Zayden didn't even look at me, and I didn’t look at him either.I completely drowned in the surrounding chatter hoping this night would end soon.“So…” Zayden started again. “Who’s the lovely lady you have here?” He asked.My head snapped up and that’s when my eyes met his.Hold. Hard. And calculating.“If you must know. She’s my fiancé.” Matteo said. “Her name….is Valentina.”My head snapped toward Matteo. Valentina? Why would Matteo lie about my name?Zayden chuckled but said nothing.“Nice to meet you Valentina.” H
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 15 - Again With Romano?
Bella’s POVI woke up two hours ago, getting ready for my night out with Matteo.I slipped on my heels, taking one last look at myself in the mirror.The dress was black silk, clinging like a second skin, neckline plunging just enough to make my father pretend he didn’t notice.I took a deep breath.I had no idea what I was walking into tonight, but whatever it was, I needed to dress to kill.I headed down the stairs, heart thudding with every step.My father was waiting in the living room, arms open, as if this were some proud father-daughter moment.“Bella!” He beamed, pulling me into a hug that felt like chains. “You look perfect. Tonight, make me proud.”I nodded, forcing a smile that hurt. “Sure. But I have to go. Matteo’s waiting.”He released me with one last approving pat on the shoulder. Outside, the cold wind slapped my bare arms.A sleek black Maybach pulled up at the curb, engine purring like a predator.The driver opened the door.Matteo was sprawled in the back seat, leg
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 13 - Zayden
Zayden had had more one-night stands than he could count. Faces he forgot before the sun rose. Names he never asked for.But her? Bella. She was different. In his mind. On his skin. In the silence between his thoughts.There was something in the way she fell apart that night—quietly and desperately. Like she was left alone broken and bruised.He hadn’t meant to take her home. Hell, he didn’t even know why he spoke to her.But the moment he saw her sitting alone, her glass trembling in her hand, a storm buried behind her eyes—he couldn’t look away.And when she moaned in his bed—begging, whimpering, pleading with him to screw her—it turned him on more than he ever imagined.She wasn’t like the others. Not some spoiled socialite.Not a woman who wanted his name, his wealth, or his control.She wanted to feel and he let her.Now he couldn’t get her out of his head.He hadn’t even asked her last name. But he remembered the way her mouth trembled when she whispered his name against his ski
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 12 - Careful Bella
Bella’s POVThat night, I stood outside my father’s office with my hand lifted, knuckles hovering inches from the door.My pulse wouldn’t slow.Everything in me screamed that what I was about to do was dangerous—but danger didn’t scare me anymore. Not after Zayden Romano. Not after the slap. Not after realising my entire life had been traded away like a bargaining chip.I finally knocked.“Come in,” My father called.I pushed the door open and stepped inside. He sat behind the heavy desk, reading something on his tablet like the world wasn’t actively burning around us.I cleared my throat. “I want Matteo’s number.”He looked up slowly and studied me.The silence stretched thin between us. My chest tightened—but I held his gaze, and didn’t blink.“He told me I could get it from you,” I added, forcing sweetness into my voice. “Said we should… get to know each other better.”The word tasted bitter.Something shifted in my father’s eyes. The tension in his shoulders eased. Then unbeliev
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 11 - Cigarette, Smoke and Chains
The cold night air burned my lungs as I dragged from the cigarette.I didn’t even smoke….I never had.But tonight, I needed something to burn, something to choke down the chaos clawing up my throat.I stood near the side of the courtyard, hidden between tall hedges, the glowing tip of the cigarette bright against the dark.My hands shook hard as I brought it back to my mouth.I exhaled slowly.Smoke drifted up into the sky, thin and grey, vanishing like everything else that ever belonged to me.“If your mother ever catches you doing that,” a voice said behind me, calm and venomous, “she won’t be nearly as gentle as I am.”“Dad!” I said, dropping the cigarette and crushing it under my heel, brushing ash off my palms as I turned.“I just needed to cool off,” I sniffed. “Get the heat out.”My father stood beneath the soft courtyard lights, hands clasped behind his back like a man pretending to be civilised.“I’m sorry for striking you, Bella,” he said suddenly.The words landed wrong. To
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 10 - What Are The Odds?
Bella’s POVZayden Romano.The name looped in my head like a broken record while the city blurred past the cab window.It had to be a coincidence.Romano is common. Half of Italy probably has cousins named Romano.But Mendoza? He said Mendoza. My last name.My blood turned cold. My stomach lurched.What were the odds I’d picked the one man in Venice my father was running from?The ghost that had my family scrambling, selling me off like livestock to keep him at bay.I slept with him. I begged him.I let him inside me, let him ruin me, let him mark me in ways I’d feel for days.And he might be the very monster my father is terrified of.The driver swerved past the gates.“Stop—stop, stop, stop! Here! This is it!”I threw money at him and stumbled out, heels clacking too loud on the gravel.The front door flew open before I even reached it.And the slap came fast and hard—my head snapped to the side, cheek burning.My father’s hand was still raised.“Foolish child,” he hissed. “Where th
