His Pretty Little Liar - The Devil’s Snare - Book 1 Chapter One Hundred and Twenty
"I gathered as much," I reply unhappily. Remember our time together, Ithink of Bianca's answers—of the way she revealed only so much and how she broke for me after only two days. A groan sits in my throat at the knowledge that I need to tell Emma the truth about how I've treated her sister in the last two days. She should have expected it, but Emma had never been the typical mafia girl.Shame suddenly flits through me as I make eye contact. True to Emma's supernatural powers, she knows instantly that I'm keeping something from her."What did you do to her?" Emma asks though she seems more resigned to the idea that I did something rather than convincing me she cares for the answer—I presume, anyway."Emma..." I clench my jaw, tensing my muscles that flex on either side of my face. A warning to tell her that she doesn't want to hear what I'm about to say. Yet she rolled her eyes at me as if knowing I'd try to deny her.She's always known me so well. I bet I don't need to explain myself,

Emma "Ah, yes, the pregnancy. About that," the doctor notes, pulling a chair to sit on as he gives me soft eyes that upset me more than the words falling from his mouth. Scratch that; it's the horror of hearing what he's saying and the fact he feels sorry for me that hurts the most. "I ran a few more tests whilst you were under. I wanted to ensure you were as healthy as possible, but the results I received differed significantly from the ones from earlier this week. So I had them rerun three more times with different blood draws." "What are you saying?" "You were never pregnant, I'm afraid. Someone replaced your genuine results for force ones."Replaced. Never pregnant? "Bianca!"I snarl in contempt. This has her written all over it. How could she? What drives her to create fake news, big news, with the intent to hurt her sister— a life that's inadvertently was something I desperately wanted despite having initially been apprehensive about trying for a baby despite that being expec

"It's blood, Luca. Get over it,"I shrug him off while giving the doctor one last look before I move around him. Feeling the air cling to my back where it shouldn't, I falter. My lack of attire momentarily stupefies me. Should I be walking in Luca's home in such a state of undress?Are we even in his home? The room looked rather sterile to be part of a compound medical room, yet my father'swasn'tthis well stocked.Could we be at the hospital?"Where are you going?"He questions, falling into step behind me. I feel the protection surrounding him, his arm moving out to hold something around my back."To find my sister.""You need to rest, Emma.""I'll rest after; I need to confront her; it can't wait, Luca", I say over him so the doctor hears.Staring at each other, lost in a world of mutual pain, we forget the doctor entirely until he clears his throat before speaking."I really do advise you rest, Emma—.""I'll rest afterwards,"I dismiss him before he's even finished with whatever he wa

Dimitri MorettaThere's a fine line between moral and immoral, and I am notorious for walking that line when the need arises. Of course, Lucia keeps me grounded, but when she's not around me, all hell breaks loose regarding my protocols for dealing with a situation. Fear is always a palpable flavour that sticks in the air, clinging to every fibre. It's almost as if I can taste it now, sticking out my tongue to see where the room lies before I've even made eye contact with one person inside it. It also helps my men be an extension of me, easily able to read the room just as I can. One look between us, and they move to do as I wish. They are one of the reasons I've been at the helm of my organisation for as long as I have been.That may be why I like to take a few of my men anywhere I go and why I like to leave my wife at home when, technically, she should be right beside me where she belongs. But even with her manning the fort at home, her opinions still have some sway over my mind, i

I'm barely holding on to the ability to treat her as I should, that impatient side of me wanting to get this over with. To extract the information in any way possible. In all honesty, a part of me believes she should take her secrets to the grave, but I do think Emma would hate me and in extension of myself, Luca if I were to bury her last family member six feet below to bury my own dirty secret."Come on, Bianca, work with me while I still have the patience. Otherwise, you'll meet a side of me you'll hate and trust me when I say you don't want to meet him.""I've met worse," she mutters in disbelief."Perhaps I'll prove you wrong. Tell me where your men are?"She barely shakes her head, but knowing she won't play along with me is enough."Fine," I sigh, standing up to pace before her. "I'll give you a few more hours to decide. If you continue this game when I return, I'll have to take things into my own hands. Trust me, Bianca, you don't want that."I walk away before I snap the girl

LucaEmma refuses to go back to bed, either to the medical room or our own. Her first port of call is to visit Anna; she requests food and lots of it. Fruits and meats. Olives and dates. And I can only agree, watching her eat—joining her eat. I sit beside her, cradling her back to ensure she doesn't fall off the stall—scared she might become lightheaded at any moment. I watch her eat; her appetite is hearty and very well-needed. If she is to heal, she needs her strength."When did you last eat?" I ask her with piqued curiosity."Dinner," she exclaims between mouthfuls. "This night, you woke me up to accompany Bianca home.""That was days ago," I worry, chewing my bottom lip as she reaches for the olives, which she pops several in her mouth."Would you like a proper meal?" Anna asks. "You need your strength."Soup!" Emma nods. "And some of your seeded bread. That sounds so good," she answers, almost drooling."Of course," Anna agrees all too eagerly. Frowning, I think of the meal I o

Fuck, who am I kidding?That wound is so fresh it's still bleeding and oozing even for me.Walking out of the house and into the garden, I find Emma sitting at the edge of the pool, her feet hanging into the water. She's clutching the poolside, staring up at the early evening sky. The sun is almost setting, and the sky is clear. It's a beautiful evening, and I'd admire it if it weren't already tainted with malice, hurt, and anguish."Bambina," I call, walking behind Emma before I kneel behind her."She could have done anything," she murmurs quietly. "Made up any story to get me to head to town. She could have just taken me at my father's compound. Yet she gave me a future, a life I hadn't envisioned until then. And then she inadvertently ripped it away. I wanted that baby, Luca. I wanted them so bad it hurts worse than losing my parents.""I'm sorry, Bambina. What she did... there's no forgiveness for decisions like that. But we can have a baby, Bambina. You know I've always wanted yo

"Having morals doesn't make you a bad man, Luca.""Tell my father that," I shrug. I lean my chin on Emma's head and look across my beautiful gardens. My little slice of heaven in my own compound. I forgot how utterly beautiful this property is. I've lacked the initiative to genuinely appreciate the home I've made for myself. Yet another thing to thank Emma for."I will. When the time is right, and the truth is needed, l will put him in his place. I've never been afraid of Dimitri, Luca.""I know," I scoff. "I think that was the problem, honestly.""Problem?""You never felt fear; I'm not sure you do now either. My father admired that in you, but he also hated it. And I think I know why now.""Why?" She asks quietly, thoughtfully."The same reason he's kept me from studying the protocols of being the Don. Because you're a born leader, whereas I am not. I'm a follower, Emma.""What does that mean?" She questions me with confusion. It's evident, even if only in her tone. I rethink my dec

Continued:Sven turns back to rejoin Bianca and me by the bed, and as I stand, I peep out the small window to my right. My heart races as my eyes dart across the street below, searching frantically for a way to get Bianca down and into another building safely, away from the danger lurking just beyond that door. Each hotel looks inviting, but just as with this one, its buildings are tall and overtly open."Not going to answer the door, Niko?" Densel's voice booms, dripping with mockery. I can almost envision the twisted grin on his face as he twirls his gun, the metallic glint reflecting the darkness of his intentions. The threat is unmistakable, hanging in the air like a storm cloud, and I brace myself for what comes next.Laying on the floor, hoping to crawl out of sight to the balcony door, I move precariously. Climbing the wall, with my back flat against it, I extend my hand toward the door, carefully unlatching it to avoid making a sound that might alert anyone nearby. As the door

Niko A profound sense of connection envelops us, and a look of mutual respect passes between our eyes. We've worked together long enough to know how each other thinks, which can only be helpful for the pair of us.In the background, I hear Bianca let out a soft sigh, drawing my attention back to her. She remains frozen in place, her expression a mix of tension and confusion. What is troubling her so profoundly that she feels compelled to stay anchored there, motionless?"I need a favour," I whisper."What is it?""I need you to go down to the Western to collect whatever Luca has just sent over." I showed him the phone, and a one-word message from Luca remarked, 'Done.'"You owe me," Sven chuckles dryly before picking his weapons out of the bag, ensuring they are full before he turns to the door, his hands on the chain, it hanging open between him and the door when suddenly, a sharp knock echoes through the room, jolting Bianca out of her reverie. She springs up, darting to my s

Continued: "Do you have money?" Sven barrages me with questions. "Yes," I nod, but in the same instance, I frown. It's all fucking digital, every last penny. "What?" they both mirror my horror. "Applepay, it's traceable," I mumble. "May I?" Bianca asks for my main phone, and I pass it to her without question. Only a second later, she turns it back to my face. She's downloading a banking app, and I'm not sure where she's going with this. "Use that," she stipulates with indifference as I glance down at the phone, reading her father's name on the card now residing in my wallet. I nod, but I'm not sure I will use it. There has to be another way; I think to myself as we walk in unison to the counter, Sven standing on our six until I ask him to step closer. "Do you have any cash at all?" I request eagerly. "No," he shakes his head. Swearing softly to myself, a profound sense of unease settles in as I contemplate the idea of using Bianca's father's money. The truth is, it feels li

NikoThis morning, an unsettling instinct crept into my mind—a gut feeling or perhaps a sixth sense—that today was poised to take a dark turn. With this foreboding hovering over me, I pulled Sven aside before Bianca even woke up. The weight of unpreparedness settled heavily on my shoulders. I had nothing that I usually had at my fingertips, and I couldn't shake the echo of Alexandra's words: living without permission but forever at the forefront of my thoughts.When I arrived on this isolated island, I came armed with the weapons that had adorned me on my wedding day—two knives and two guns with only one round in each, reminders of a day when I was meant to be the groom, not the protector. It wasn't until just a few days ago that I finally reclaimed my phone, another lifeline to reality.A wave of unease washed over me as I stepped off the boat. It felt as if I was walking into my impending fate. I turned to Sven, my voice low and steady, asking him to gather everything we needed to e

Continued: As I sat there, my mind wandered to Alexandra. Would she be joining us on the flight home? The mere idea of enduring her incessant chatter for an entire journey left me feeling uneasy. I could already imagine her animated and unrelenting voice filling the cabin as we soared through the clouds, unable to escape one another.My thoughts then drifted to Niko and how the familiarity of home might alter our dynamic. Would the ease we shared during this honeymoon transform back into the more complex opposition we had previously experienced? It would be disingenuous to say these questions didn't preoccupy me. However, Niko kept his silence, and I found myself caught in the web of my own musings, choosing not to voice my uncertainties. The air around us was thick with unspoken words, and I remained wrapped in quiet contemplation as we readied ourselves with Sven on his boat.The journey to the mainland was tumultuous, with the ocean raging against the boat's sides as we travelled

BiancaI hate to admit the days pass with blinding speed, but we fit as much sex and physical touch into them as we possibly can, and in the times between, we do a lot of talking, exploring one another and our future and how that might look upon leaving this island. We fuck in the hot tub, on the kitchen counter, with hushed giggles at the thrill of potentially being caught, fucking against the window I can't help but stare out of when I'm standing in the bedroom. Soft sensual sex in bed, hard fucking from behind when I tease him about something, and he just can't keep his hands off of me. That has got to be my favourite, but I've not voiced that to him.My sexual appetite has doubled, if not tripled, in such little time that I wonder where my need has arisen from. But similarly, our need to explore what one another wants to uncover itself.As our conversations flowed seamlessly from one topic to the next, we found ourselves wrapped in a captivating exchange that lasted two days. It

Continued:My previous thoughts of not forcing this on her and making her happy in our forced marriage chose this exact time to crop up, my teeth grinding in annoyance as I looked at her thoughtfully."Niko," she breathes my name, making me move to sit up further. Our chests come together as I reach to kiss her neck.I reach around her waist and pluck the bottoms bows just as she had the tops so they float off in the water as the bubbling swirl that's them under their wings."You're beautiful," I murmur against the skin of her neck."Please," she begs. Fuck the beg is almost my undoing; in fact, my cock pulsates at that one word, and yet I find myself exercising complete control to elongate this as far as I can.Instead, I kiss along her collarbone before moving down her breast, sucking her nipple into my mouth to pebble it. I rhythmically lavish it with attention before I release it with a pop so I can move on to its twin."Bianca." I grin when I pop the second one from my mouth. Her

NikoThe morning unfolds with unexpected tranquillity, the sun streaming through the windows and casting warm golden rays across the room that was yesterday shrouded in intense darkness. This ease, however, only amplifies my thoughts, drawing me into a spiral of self-doubt and guilt, haunted by the reality that Bianca faced danger because of my actions.As evening descends, the sky blushes with hues of pink and orange, and we find ourselves ensconced in the soothing embrace of the hot tub. The gentle warmth of the water contrasts with the cool air, wrapping us in a cocoon of serenity while Sven eagerly busies himself, constructing a makeshift bedroom for his stay. The humid air carries the faint scent of cedar and the distant sounds of nature, creating a false sense of security.Our trio had engaged in deep discussions about Sven's plans as we ate breakfast, each idea shared like a lifeline, reinforcing the belief that having another person around would heighten our chances of safety.

Contained: "Sure," Niko nods, touching his mug on the counter with a soft clink. "We'll try," I agree, though the truth looms heavily in my mind: a bond can only deepen with time, and it feels like we've had too little of it. I keep this to myself, reluctant to acknowledge that a part of me senses a wedge still exists between us. However, once we're back home with Luca and Emma, I'm confident we won't get close enough to others for them to attempt to pull us apart anytime soon. "I'll walk you out," Niko offers, trailing after Lucia as she strides towards the front door. The moment she reaches it, her men snap to attention, bowing their heads in unison—an unspoken testament to the respect she commands. Stepping outside onto the already warm, sun-kissed sand, I cast my gaze toward the water and see her boats bobbing gently in the surf. A few small vessels equipped with retractable engines lurk close to shore, while a larger yacht lies further out, seemingly calling for Lucia to ret
