Chapter 55

Ariel's POV

Hurt.

That was the only thing I could feel at that moment.

It rested heavily on my chest as I dragged my feet back to the bed and plopped down slowly.

I couldn't help but ponder over her words. She knew more than I did, or at least she should.

She had been through this before; she should know him better than I do.

Could she be right?

No, she can't be right, she couldn't be.

But then again… he had lied to me, deceived me.

But was that enough? And it's not like Luciana is

  • THE DON'S SECRET OBSESSION (His Bride, Her Prison)   61

    Chapter 61Dermos’s POVI blinked twice before registering what was staring back at me.It was a live location ping, and it was coming from inside our compound.A restricted wing, to be specific.A private floor that only three people had access to, till now, I guess.I covered my shock immediately, even though something in me turned.Then Carlos gulped.“It’s moving,” he announced.The red dot shifted slowly across the blueprint, like whoever it was knew exactly where they were going.Mateo stepped closer. “Who has access to that level?” He asked.And I didn’t answer, cause I already knew.And if this was what I thought it was, then tonight wasn’t just retaliation.It was an infiltration.The red dot suddenly stopped right outside a specific door.I stared at it, and for the first time, I didn’t feel anger.I felt something colder.“Get the cars,” I said quietly.And no one argued, no one asked questions, cause they could see it now too.This wasn’t just war anymore; this was persona

    Chapter 60Dermos’s POVThe trap was simple.Too simple.And that made it perfect.I didn’t tell Carlos everything, and I didn't tell Mateo everything either.Not because I didn’t trust them.But because I didn’t trust anyone.I left the meeting hall and altered one shipment route myself. I did it on my own manually, no system entry, no digital trail. Just verbal instructions to one mid-level operative who had no reason to question me.It was a fake diversion. A high-value shipment that didn’t exist.If Valerio intercepted it, I would know exactly how deep this infection ran.And tonight…We were about to find out.The warehouse lights shone over my head as I stepped inside.The floor was cold as hell, and the metal containers had been cracked with diesel filling the air.Mateo stood near the loading dock with six armed men behind him.Carlos was already there with his phone in hand, watching tracking coordinates, probably.“They took the bait,” Carlos said without looking at me.O

    Chapter 59Dermos’s POVCarlos has been with me for as long as I can remember.But in this world, there's one thing I've learnt on the way. No one in this world is trustworthy till proven.And in this moment, I could only trust myself.So as the office fell silent again, I put together my personal map, my personal sketch.And when I'd added the final details, I strolled over and leaned against the edge of the window.From there, I stared out at the city beyond the window, finding the view to be my only escape.My mind refused to rest, replaying every moment from the forest. I didn't want to believe that someone from my camp would betray me.I refused to believe that I had a mouse in my midst. But Valerio’s moves were too precise, and that could only mean one thing.I took a deep breath.Then rubbed my jaw, feeling the tension there tighten.I really hoped that Carlos had begun checking out the maps and other instructions I'd given him.We were running out of time, and the more they

    Chapter 58Dermos’ POVI ran a hand over my chin, carefully watching Carlos' reaction.I didn't know when I stopped spinning my chair, Carlos wasn't known to beat around words.I hope he hasn't changed, as his words still lingered in the air longer than I expected. And the pause afterwards didn't help the case.The weight of what he might say next was too heavy, and I could see it on him.I waited with my eyes fixed on him as the office suddenly felt too small and the little sounds around ticked louder than ever.“It’s regarding Valerio,” he finally said in a measured tone. “There’s something we didn’t catch the first time, something subtle but very critical.”I leaned back slightly, folding my fingers on the table. “Go on,” I said flatly, though my pulse quickened. Every instinct in my body was on high alert, aware that any piece of overlooked information could turn the tables on us.When dealing with a man like Valerio, every detail to the stop counted.Carlos pulled his tablet f

    Chapter 57Dermos' POV I could barely keep my fingers and eyes in one place as it fell on every moving thing around me.I was on high alert; this couldn't end any other way.And in about 30 minutes, I stepped out to the beautiful view of our offices.I walked in, offering nods, greetings, and waves till I reached the doors of the meeting room.The room was already occupied when I entered, and all heads turned to me.Carlos was the first to spot my entrance.Then Mateo, then the others did one at a time.The air shifted instantly as I took a seat in my designated seat.It was time for business, no more silly women's issues.There were no more distractions.“What happened, Dermos?” Carlos asked from one of the chairs. “I sent the reminder a while back, and you still came late,” Carlos said.“I’m here now,” I replied flatly.And that was enough to put a stop to all of that.And the rest of those present didn’t push further.So I took my seat at the head of the table, as usual.“Let’s ta

    Chapter 56Dermos’s POVI felt at ease, at rest. I felt the walls around me crumbling fast with every touch.That was the extent to which Luciana's touch fought my resilience.Her fingers lingered on places that they should never have been in the first place.Her thumb from her other hand brushed over my knuckles slowly while she rested the other on my chest.She wasn’t rushing; she wasn’t forcing anything. She was playing it patiently and with confidence.“You don’t have to fight everything,” she murmured softly as she leaned so close to me I felt her breath against my skin.Her other hand slid up my arm again, drawing lines over the tension in my muscles as though she had been studying me.I didn’t pull away.At least not immediately.My body was still not ready, and my mind couldn't go any longer.The garden suddenly felt smaller as she stretched towards my face, closing in on removing the space between us.The air around me felt heavier than it did five minutes ago.And the closer
