Elena/Ileana POV

I think he’s onto me.

My heart hammered against my ribs as his strong hand tightened around my throat.

On the outside, I forced myself to stare straight into his blue-grey eyes, refusing to let a single crack of vulnerability show on my face.

On the inside?

Oh, I was utterly terrified.

I might have been the legendary leader of an assassin syndicate in my past life, but there was one particular breed of man even I knew better than to underestimate.

An utterly unpredictable man w

  • Rebirth: The Devil’s Lunatic   Chapter 22: A Room of Her Own - Part 1

    Elena/Ileana POVThe moment I saw Adonis standing at the entrance, my father’s raised hand became the least interesting thing in the room.I abandoned Vittorio without a second glance and hurried toward my fiancé, wearing the brightest smile I could manage.“Adonis!”His face brightened with that familiar, angelic smile as I reached him and clasped his hand between both of mine. I tilted my head, looking up at him with wide, innocent eyes.“Adonis, you came!”“How could I stay away?” he asked sweetly.Then, to my absolute surprise, he bent down and kissed my forehead.I blinked.Oh. We were doing this now.I had chosen him in front of an entire room full of people, so naturally, I was expected to act as though I welcomed the arrangement. A little enthusiasm would hardly hurt my plans.Still, a warning would have been nice before he started kissing me.I filed that complaint away for later.Behind us, someone cleared his throat.“Master Adonis, I didn’t know you were coming over.” Vitt

  • Rebirth: The Devil’s Lunatic   Chapter 21: A Trip Down The Stairs

    Elena/Ileana POVI tightened my grip around Bianca’s wrist and began dragging her toward the upper landing.Her eyes widened.“What are you doing?” she demanded, stumbling as she struggled to keep up. “Ileana, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”I turned to her with a smile.“Didn’t you say you wanted to fall down the stairs?”She stared at me.“Well, if you fall from here, it won’t hurt that much.” I glanced toward the staircase above us. “But if you fall from way up there, it’ll hurt. Really, really badly.”“Let go of me!” She tried to yank her hand free. “Let go of me, you lunatic! You’re crazy!”I threw my head back and laughed.“Yes, I am!” I exclaimed, laughing harder. “Yet you keep provoking me. Isn’t that interesting?”“ILEANA!”Her screams echoed through the staircase as I continued dragging her upward.She dug her heels into the steps, desperately trying to stop me, but she was no match for me.By the time we reached the upper landing, her face had lost every trace of

  • Rebirth: The Devil’s Lunatic   Chapter 20: A Dangerous Little Game

    Elena/Ileana POVThe next morning, a servant informed me that Vittorio wanted me to join the family for breakfast.That was surprising.Vittorio Bellucci didn't exactly strike me as the sort of man who went out of his way to spend time with his daughters, especially the one he’d abandoned in a mental institution for five years.Still, I wasn’t about to turn down a no-doubt healthy breakfast.So, I made my way downstairs.Elia had barely slept. I knew because the moment I entered the dining room, I noticed the dark circles beneath her eyes.Interesting.One little conversation, a plate of trash food, and a few harmless threats. That was all it had taken to turn the woman who’d laughed at me yesterday morning into a trembling mess.I almost felt sorry for her.Almost.Vittorio glanced at me as I entered.“Sit with us. You’re part of this family, and you should have breakfast with us.”I gave him a bright smile. “Okay, Father.”Of course, I knew he was only doing this because of the new

    Elena/Ileana POV“Now, now. Don’t scream. You don’t want to wake everybody up, do you?”Elia clamped both hands over her mouth.Her eyes darted between my face and the butter knife in my hand. She trembled so badly that the covers rustled around her, and sweat trickled down her forehead despite the cool breeze blowing through the open window.I smiled at her.“That’s better.”She swallowed hard.“W-what do you want from me?”“What do I want?” I tilted my head. “That’s an interesting question, Elia. I was about to ask you the same thing.”“I don’t understand.”“Of course you don’t.”I straightened, holding the butter knife loosely at my side.“I was nice to you, Elia. I greeted you this morning, asked you for food politely, and even thanked you when you handed me that plate.” My smile faded. “Yet you’ve treated me terribly since I returned to this house. Why?”“I—”“Why, Elia?”She flinched when I raised my voice.“I’m sorry!” she blurted out. “I’m sorry. Please, I’m sorry!”“No, you’r

    Elena/Ileana POV. I lowered my head, letting my heavy raven hair fall forward to completely hide my face.Something cold settled inside my chest. So that’s how it is.It seems as though the Belluccis had spent years actively training everyone in this estate to view Ileana as subhuman rubbish. The servants had simply learned to mimic their masters to curry favor and avoid becoming targets themselves.Fine.It would make their destruction all the more satisfying when the time finally came.I let out a small, pathetic sniffle, making my shoulders tremble slightly. “I just wanted something to eat.”“Then fish it out of the bin,” Elia repeated coldly, taking a step toward me with her hands on her hips. “Or go back upstairs to your room and cry about it. You’ve always been very good at that.”I slowly looked up at her one last time, letting my emerald green eyes swim with fake tears. “Will you be angry if I don’t eat it?”She scoffed, crossing her arms tightly over her chest. “I couldn’t

  • Rebirth: The Devil’s Lunatic   Chapter 17: A Crucial Memory

    Elena/Ileana POV. “How could you do this to me, Vittorio?”The woman’s trembling voice echoed sharply through the room.I stood at the edge of the memory, watching disbelief twist her face as she confronted the man standing before her.Vittorio Bellucci.I recognized him immediately.“What are you talking about?” he asked, his voice frustratingly calm.“Don’t you dare pretend you don’t know!” She slammed a heavy stack of documents down onto the desk between them. “My company! My money! My shares! How could you betray me like this?”Vittorio glanced briefly at the legal papers before looking back up at her.“Keep your voice down.”“Keep my voice down?” She let out a harsh, bitter laugh. “You stole my entire life from me, and you want me to keep my voice down?”“I didn’t steal anything.”“Eighty percent, Vittorio! Eighty percent of the Bellucci Empire belongs to me!”My eyes widened.The Bellucci Empire? The massive business empire Vittorio controlled?“Your money helped start this com
