His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 32 - The Attack
Zayden’s POVThe cough came without warning.It tore through my chest, forcing me forward as my hand braced against the edge of the bed. Another followed, deeper this time, dragging something raw up my throat.The nurse was already standing opposite me, bag open on the table.“Mr Romano,” she said calmly, but her eyes were sharp. “You need to take it easy. Have you been taking the medication exactly as prescribed? No skipping doses?”“I’m fine,” I rasped, pulling on a fresh shirt. “It’s under control.”She didn’t look convinced, but she knew better than to push. She gave me the injection in my arm, the familiar sting barely registering anymore.“This should hold you for the next couple of weeks,” she said, packing up. “If the coughing gets worse or you feel short of breath, call me immediately. Don’t wait.”I straightened slowly, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand before reaching for the glass of water beside me.“I said I’m fine.”There was a pause. The kind filled with things
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 81 - Quiet Terror
I couldn’t just stand outside forever.Zayden still wasn’t picking up. Every call went straight to that cold voicemail.Every text stayed undelivered. The dread in my chest grew heavier with every failed attempt.What was I going to do now?I pushed the front door open and stepped back inside.The moment I stepped into the house, I heard it—the shouting.Loud. Violent. Explosive.I froze for half a second, then ran toward the sound.My parents were in the living room now, no longer trying to keep their voices contained. My father stood near the centre, pacing like a man on the edge. My mother stood across from him, her face tight, her voice strained but firm.“You’ve lost your mind!” she snapped. “You’ve finally lost your mind, Alejandro.”“And you’ve overstepped!” my father roared back. “You went behind my back and handed my daughter to him like she’s some kind of bargaining chip!”“Need I remind you that you handed her over to Matteo first. I saved her!” she shot back. “From Matteo—
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 30 - Daddy’s Plan
My heart hadn’t settled since the moment I saw my father walk away from my door.It sat in my chest now, heavy and restless, like it knew something I didn’t.I stopped pacing and turned to my mother. “We need to find him.”She hesitated for only a second before nodding. “Let’s go. His office.”We moved quickly, our footsteps quiet against the marble floors. The house felt different now. Every sound echoed louder than it should have.As we got closer to his study, voices stopped us.My father’s voice — angry and sharp.“…you were right,” he was saying. “She has been seeing Zayden. I can’t believe Bella would lie to me.”My stomach dropped. I turned to look at my mother but she didn’t bother to look at me.The door wasn’t fully closed. And then we heard the other voice.This one was deeper, colder and disgustingly familiar….Matteo.“You think I wouldn’t know?” his voice came through clearly.The phone was on speaker.“I smelled him on her the minute I saw them on that rooftop,” Matteo c
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 29 - Not My Choice
Bella’s POVI pushed open the front door, my heart still pounding and my fingers pressed against the spot where Matteo had put his gun.I checked the time on my phone and it was way past dusk. Lucia and I had run rounds across the city and stopped for breakfast, lunch and possibly dinner. “Bella? Where have you been?” I heard, the minute I stepped in.My father sat cross-legged on his chair, not looking up from the newspaper in his hand.I forced my voice steady. “I went for a run.”He studied me for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.”Before I could say another word, The front door opened again and my mother and Rafael stepped inside.This time he finally looked up, closed the newspaper and stood. “So it seems like the whole family was out without telling me.”“Not now, Alejandro.” My mother said, " I'm tired.”“Where are you both coming from?” he asked immediately.My mother answered without missing a beat. “We went out to get a few things in place for Bella’s wedding. Final touches.”
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 28 - New Deals
Zayden’s POVThe villa was quiet when they arrived.I watched from the upper balcony as Bianca and Rafael Mendoza stepped out of the black car.Nico had arranged everything exactly as I instructed — neutral ground, but on my territory. No surprises.Bianca looked composed on the surface, but I could see the tension in her shoulders, the way her fingers gripped the strap of her bag a little too tightly.Rafael walked beside her like a guard dog, eyes scanning every shadow, every corner, as if he expected an ambush at any second.I didn’t blame him. That’s what happens when you walk into enemy territory thinking you can negotiate. They were led into the main sitting room.I let them wait exactly twelve minutes.Long enough for the silence to settle in their bones.Long enough for them to feel the weight of stepping into my world.When I finally entered, the room seemed to shrink.Bianca stood immediately. Rafael remained seated for half a second longer — a small act of defiance — befor
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 27 - Mi Principessa
Bella’s POVI woke up early, earlier than I normally do.My body felt heavy, sore in places I didn’t want to think about.The massage gun sat on the floor where I’d kicked it last night, silent now, but it might as well have been screaming. I had no idea why I let him control me like that but I wouldn’t waste another second on that thought.I couldn’t stay in bed. So I pulled on my trainers, leggings, and a loose hoodie, tied my hair back, and slipped out the back door before anyone could ask questions.The air was cool against my face when I was running — slow at first, but every time I remembered his voice and the way I moaned to his command, I ran faster like I could outrun the memories.Zayden’s voice rang in my ears. The hum of the gun.The way my hips rolled against it even when I begged him to stop.I pushed harder and my lungs burned.“Come on, Bella, slow down.”Lucia’s voice cut through the heaviness of my breathing.I glanced back — she was jogging to catch up, her ponytail
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 26 - Sleep Tight Darling
Zayden’s POVFor a moment, the room went completely silent. I studied Nico’s face to see if he was joking. He wasn’t.My jaw tightened slowly.“Bella’s mother,” I repeated.Nico nodded once. “She contacted one of our outer channels earlier tonight. Said she needed to speak with you directly. No int
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 25 - Thoughts Of Claim
Zayden’s POV The back door of the warehouse closed behind me with a heavy thud.Her voice still echoed in my ears — “Zayden! Zayden!” — desperate, cracking, the way a child calls for someone who’s already gone.I kept walking. Didn’t turn back. Didn’t slow down.If I had, I might have broken.I sl
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 24 - Questions
Zayden’s POVI took a slow drag from my cigarette, watching her from across the table while she processed my last words.Her fingers tightened around the fork.Good.She’s listening now, really listening.For a long moment, neither of us spoke. The silence stretched thick and heavy, filled with gho
His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride Chapter 23 - Bitter Truths
Bella’s POVI had waited for everyone to fall asleep before I begged Rosa to help me sneak out of my house. I told her I was going to see Lucia. I needed to clear my head and talk to someone who could understand.She looked at me with something like pity in her eyes but she helped me either way.“I
