Rebirth: The Devil’s Lunatic Chapter 26: What was stolen
Elena/Ileana POVBy the time I returned to the Bellucci estate, I had already decided that my new car was the best thing that had happened to me all day.The red Bugatti purred beautifully, responded to the slightest touch, and, unlike certain devilishly annoying men, didn’t insist on having the last word.I swung the keys around my finger as I walked through the front door, still enjoying the satisfaction of having driven away from Adonis D’Angelo without giving him the opportunity to annoy me any further.Unfortunately, my peace lasted all of three seconds.My shopping bags were scattered across the sitting room, and Bianca was seated on the couch, rummaging through them as though she’d stumbled upon a personal invitation to raid someone else’s belongings.I stopped in the doorway."Is there a reason you are going through my stuff?”Bianca’s head snapped up.I walked over and began collecting my bags, examining the contents as I picked them up. At least everything seemed to be ther
Rebirth: The Devil’s Lunatic Chapter 25: A Price Worth Paying
Elena/Ileana POVAnything I wanted.Adonis had said those words with the confidence of a man who had never experienced the consequences of making promises to the wrong person.That was about to change.I wandered through the boutique, examining the collections while the saleswoman followed closely behind me. Leather jackets, fitted leather trousers, boots, and heels quickly filled my selection. I picked a few skirts, too, but nothing overly delicate or impractical. I had no intention of filling my wardrobe with clothes that would become a nuisance the moment I needed to move quickly.The saleswoman looked increasingly uncertain as my choices accumulated.I ignored her.At the entrance, Adonis was still speaking with Matteo. I occasionally glanced in their direction, mostly because I preferred knowing what was happening around me. At one point, Matteo nodded at something Adonis said, then slipped out of the boutique.I watched him leave before returning my attention to the clothes.I
Rebirth: The Devil’s Lunatic Chapter 24: Go Crazy.
Elena/Ileana POVThe moment we walked out of the Bellucci estate, Adonis led me toward a sleek black car parked near the entrance.A man stood beside the driver’s door, waiting for us. He was tall, with neatly styled brown hair and a handsome face that carried an easygoing charm. The moment he spotted Adonis, he grinned before shifting his attention to me, his eyebrows rising with curiosity.Adonis opened the back door and gestured for me to enter. I climbed inside, followed by him, and the man settled behind the steering wheel before turning around to offer me a friendly smile.“Hi! You must be Ileana. I’m Matteo, Adonis’s best friend, right-hand man, occasional babysitter, and anything else he needs me to be.”Adonis rolled his eyes. “Drive.”“Nice to meet you, too, Your Highness.”I pressed my lips together to keep from laughing. So this was Matteo, Adonis’s closest associate and trusted companion. There wasn’t much publicly available about him during my research on the D’Angelos,

Elena/Ileana PovHis smile turned positively radiant.“Is that a threat, sweetheart?”“Consider it a courtesy warning.”He chuckled, apparently delighted with himself, and finally lowered me to my feet.Better.I straightened my clothes and smoothed my skirt, then took his offered hand before anyone could question our little exchange. If we were going to convince everyone that this engagement was real, I could tolerate a certain amount of theatrical nonsense.But if he picked me up again without permission, I was seriously considering stabbing him in that gorgeous face of his with the nearest available nail.His face was his problem. My patience was mine.“Where’s your room?” he asked.I pointed toward the staircase.“Up there.”“Then let’s go.”He started toward the stairs with me beside him, his hand resting lightly around mine. I matched his pace, keeping my attention on the people behind us.Vittorio was watching Adonis cautiously. Lucia looked furious beneath her carefully arrang

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
