The Devil Has Feelings Too 28
AZZURRA Being Andrea’s personal maid wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. At first, I hated the idea. Wearing this ridiculous uniform that barely covered anything, following Andrea around like a lost puppy and dealing with her mood swings? It sounded like a fucking nightmare. But after a few weeks, I started to realize something Andrea didn’t actually hate me. Oh, she was still a spoiled brat, still annoying as hell, but she wasn’t cruel. She didn’t treat me like shit the way some of the other rich assholes in this house did. Maybe it was because she secretly enjoyed my suffering, or maybe just maybe it was because I knew about her little habit. The one where I found her spying on the Beta.Andrea never brought it up, but there was a gleam in her eye sometimes, like she was waiting for me to say it.Not happening. But there was something else I noticed about her. Every night, she came home late. Drunk and she always smelled like different colognes. One night, it was

AZZURRA We got back to the house in silence. The girl clung to Andrea the whole way, shaking like a leaf in the wind. I could still hear the man’s screams in my ears, but I could still smell the blood from Andrea’s gunshot. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Andrea didn’t say a damn word as she carried the girl inside, straight past the curious stares of the maids and into the living room. She sat down on the couch, adjusting the girl in her lap like she was some fragile doll. I sat across from them, not sure what to do. Andrea tilted the girl’s chin up. “Alright, sweetheart,” she said softly. “Tell me everything.” The girl hesitated, her lip trembling. Her eyes darted between us, like she was waiting for us to suddenly change our minds and throw her out. Andrea sighed. “You’re safe now. No one’s gonna hurt you. Just tell me what happened.” The girl swallowed hard, then whispered, “I was kidnapped.” My stomach twisted. Andrea’s jaw clenched. “Who took you?” “I...

AZZURRA The girl was adjusting well. It had been slow at first. She barely spoke, she flinched at sudden movements, and she ate like someone who was afraid her food would be taken away, but gradually, she started to change. She no longer hesitated before taking a second helping of food. She didn’t jump every time Andrea slammed a door open, which happened often. And, the biggest change of all, she smiled. Not often, not fully, but there were moments when her lips curved slightly, and her eyes softened. Andrea pretended she didn’t care. She acted like she hadn’t noticed the girl was warming up to them, but I knew better. I saw how she always made sure the girl had enough food, how she tossed a blanket over her when she fell asleep on the couch, and how she deliberately told stupid jokes just to coax a reaction out of her. It was nice. Almost peaceful. Then Adriano and Luna Vienna came back, and that peace shattered. The moment Andrea got the news, her entire demeanor changed

ADRIANO Azzurra blinked at me, then looked left and right as if she expected someone else to be standing beside her. “Are you… talking to me?” she asked, pointing at herself like she genuinely couldn’t believe it. I leaned back in my chair, watching her carefully, enjoying her confusion. “Yes, you.” She let out a breathy laugh, folding her arms across her chest. “Oh, so you can see me? I thought I had somehow become invisible during the course of these two weeks.” I exhaled sharply, pushing my chair back as I stood. Her eyes followed my every movement, but she didn’t step away. Not yet. I walked around the desk, taking my time, watching as her muscles tensed the closer I got. “Why weren’t you this cheeky with my mother around?” I asked, tilting my head. Her glare sharpened. “I could ask you the same thing.” I smirked. She wasn’t wrong. I took another step toward her, then another. “You should have put Andrea under check.” She rolled her eyes, scoffing. “No one pu

AZZURRA I should stop this. I should push him away, remind him that his mother was still in the house, that this was reckless and impulsive, that this was the worst idea I’d ever had. But when Adriano kissed me again, I forgot how to think. His hands gripped my waist firmly, his body pressing against mine, and I could feel the heat radiating off him. My breath came out in shallow pants as I tried to steady myself, but it was impossible with him this close. “This is a terrible idea,” I whispered against his lips, but my fingers betrayed me, curling into his shirt instead of pushing him away. “Then stop me,” he murmured, his voice dark and full of challenge. I didn’t. A sharp gasp escaped my lips as he lifted me effortlessly and set me on the edge of his desk. Papers scattered to the floor, but neither of us cared. His hands slid up my thighs, parting them just enough to make my breath hitch. Adriano let out a low, dark chuckle, his grip on me tightening. “I knew you wer

AZZURRA I had just had sex with my boss.Not just any kind of sex. The kind that left my legs shaking, my breath uneven, and my mind an absolute mess.I snuck down the hall like a fucking thief, my heart pounding with every step. If anyone saw me now, I’d be done for. I wasn’t even sure why I was sneaking. ĶI was a maid, I could technically go anywhere I wanted. But I felt exposed, like the evidence of what had just happened was written all over me.I slipped into my room and shut the door behind me, letting out a breath. I needed a moment to process everything.I had just fucked Adriano Giordano. On his desk. In his office.Holy shit.I flopped onto my bed, staring at the ceiling. What the fuck had I just done?I didn’t regret it. Not one damn bit. But still… this was dangerous. It wasn’t just that he was my boss, though that was bad enough, it was the fact that he was Adriano fucking Giordano. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.And yet, I had touched him.I let out a shaky laugh, running

AZZURRA When Andrea said we were going shopping, I had groaned. But when she clarified that it was for Mia, I was pacified. Shopping for a little girl was different. It wasn’t going to be the usual ridiculous spree where Andrea dragged me from one expensive store to another, making me try on things I would never wear. At least, that’s what I thought. Hours later, I regretted everything. Andrea shopped for Mia like she would shop for herself. Designer dresses, custom-made shoes, and accessories that I didn’t even think a child needed. She even got the girl a tiny diamond bracelet. “Isn’t this too much?” I whispered as Andrea casually handed over a black card to the cashier, ignoring the ridiculous amount on the screen. She gave me a look like I had just spoken blasphemy. “Too much? She’s been wearing the same ugly clothes for God knows how long. Let her be a little princess for once.” I sighed. There was no winning against Andrea when she was like this. After we had enou

AZZURRA The car was silent for a while as we sped down the road. The air smelled like gunpowder, and my hands were still shaking from the adrenaline.Andrea sat beside me, holding Mia close, while the guards in the front seat kept their eyes on the road.I exhaled slowly, leaning my head back. "Well... that was fun."Andrea snorted. "You call that fun?"I turned my head to look at her. "I've had worse days."She smirked, but there was something else in her expression. Something thoughtful.Mia, who had been shaking like a leaf, finally spoke up in a small voice. "They wanted to take me."Andrea tightened her arms around the girl. "They’ll never get that chance again, I promise."Mia nodded against her shoulder, but I could see the fear in her eyes.I reached out, brushing her messy hair out of her face. "You're safe now, okay?"Mia finally looked at us, her dark eyes unreadable. “They don’t just let people go. If they found me, it means they’ve been looking.”A heavy silence filled t

AZZURRA The first thing I noticed was the smell. That sharp, clean hospital scent mixed with something soft and warm like aftershave and musk. My eyes fluttered open, and for a moment, everything was a blur.Then I saw him.Adriano.He was sitting on the chair next to my bed, slouched and asleep, his arms crossed but not looking very threatening. His head had tilted slightly, and a lock of his dark hair fell onto his forehead. He looked… peaceful. Almost innocent.That couldn’t be right.I blinked again just to be sure. Yep. Still him. Still, that same man who had once looked at me like I was a bug he needed to flick off his shirt.Now, here he was, looking like he hadn’t moved in a while. His jaw had a bit of stubble, and there were dark circles under his eyes.What the hell happened?I reached up slowly, my arm heavy and weak, and tried to touch that strand of hair that had fallen over his face.I didn’t know why I did it.Maybe it was because he looked less terrifying when he was

ADRIANO I stood beside her hospital bed, arms crossed, watching her chest rise and fall slowly. The nurses said she was stable now, but the oxygen tube strapped to her face made my jaw clench every time I looked at it. She looked too pale, too still. And the bruises across her skin—it made something primal growl in my chest.The doctor had told me she’d pull through. But it wasn’t enough. I needed to know she was safe, truly safe. That no bastard could ever touch her again.When the second nurse confirmed she’d be okay through the night, I finally stood and left. My men were outside the hospital room, standing like statues. I turned to Marco, my second-in-command, tonight.“No one gets near that door unless they want to die. Got it?”He nodded. “Yes, boss.”I gave Azzurra one last glance through the glass, then turned and walked down the hallway. My blood was boiling beneath my skin, and there was only one thing that could settle it.Those fuckers who laid a hand on her… They were m

ADRIANO As I cradled Azzurra in my arms, her blood staining my shirt, I moved fast, every step fueled by the rage clawing at my insides. She whimpered, clutching my shirt weakly, but I hushed her, whispering, “You’re safe now. I’ve got you.”I reached the car, opened the passenger door, and gently set her inside, strapping the seatbelt across her trembling body. She tried to speak, but her lips were pale and cracked. I touched her cheek softly. “Don’t speak, please. Just stay awake, cara mia. Just stay with me.”I was about to shut the door when the sound of footsteps and laughter behind me made my spine stiffen.Three men stumbled out from the alley she’d come from, one of them wiping blood off his knuckles, another lighting a cigarette like he had no idea his life was about to end.“Yo,” the one with the cigarette called out, cocky grin on his face. “Drop the girl.”I shut the door slowly, turned, and looked at them.“Excuse me?” I said, my voice calm, deathly quiet.“The girl,”

ADRIANO “She asked for a day off?” Leonardo’s voice broke the quiet in my office, dry with disbelief as he leaned against the edge of my desk like he owned the place.I didn’t look up from the screen on my tablet.A red dot blinked back at me,Azzurra’s tracker. She was still at her childhood home, same coordinates for the last hour. Laughing, maybe, or catching up with her sisters while pretending she wasn’t mine.“Yeah,” I said flatly.Leonardo raised a brow. “And you said yes?”“I’m not a fucking tyrant,” I muttered.“Bullshit,” he shot back. “Since when do you heed requests? Especially from people who’ve disrespected you, or let’s say, scratched more than just an itch.”My jaw flexed. I didn’t rise to the bait.“I just thought she deserved a few hours,” I said instead, keeping my tone neutral. “She hasn’t asked for anything since she got here. I figured…” I trailed off.“You figured?” Leonardo asked, his voice sharp with amusement. “You figured she earned it?”“She’s with her fami

AZZURRA For days after that humiliating scene in the Luna’s office, I cursed myself.How could I have been so naive?I thought Adriano and I had shared something real beyond the lust, beyond the twisted circumstances that brought us together.I let myself believe the soft touches meant something. The way he looked at me like I mattered. The way he came for me when I needed him most. The way he held me.But in one moment, he stripped it all away with carefully chosen words that burned more than any wound Massimo ever left behind."She means nothing to me.""She’s just a body… useful for scratching an itch."I replayed those words in my head every single night, torturing myself. And every night, I vowed to stop caring. To pull myself together. To not let it get to me. But it always did. I was so angry. At him. At myself. At everything. I was such a fool.Then, one morning, I stood in front of his office door, hand clenched at my side, my heart pounding like a caged bird.I waited unt

ADRIANO After Azzurra stepped out of the car, I leaned back against the seat, letting out a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding.She probably regretted everything already. Hell, maybe I should too, but I didn’t.I felt…satisfied.Not just because I’d had her again. No. There was something twistedly comforting about knowing I was the only one who got to touch her like that.If—no, when she got pregnant, there’d be no going back. She’d belong to me. Permanently.But first… there was a more pressing issue to deal with.My mother.The Luna.She hated women like Azzurra.Poor background, too loud, too stubborn, and worst of all, irresistible and it wasn’t surprising.A woman like Azzurra had nearly destroyed my mother’s marriage once upon a time. Of course she saw the pattern, and as always, she acted fast.I walked straight to her office, jaw tight with irritation. The guards nodded and stepped aside as I pushed open the heavy wooden doors without knocking.She sat by the window, sippi

AZZURRA My smile fell, and my breathing shallowed.I met his eyes to see he was owning what he’d said completely, and something about the admission was so incredibly hot, it brought a rush of honesty from me.“Ditto,” I whispered.A groan resounded in his chest, and then he kissed me. Slipped his tongue into my mouth. Pulled my bottom lip between his teeth. Kissing Adriano Giordano made me feel more alive than any drug ever could.I tried to undo the buttons on his shirt, but he grabbed my wrists and stopped me. Something cold settled in my stomach.I worked myself free from his grip, and as if he hadn’t already denied me once, I tried again, only to get the same result.“It’s staying on,” he said harshly against my lips.He wouldn’t let me touch him, not really. And sitting here with my body on shameless display, it suddenly felt . . . humiliating. I pulled away, tugged my dress down, and reached for the door handle.“Fuck no,” he growled, grabbing my wrist. “You got me this hard,

AZZURRA An explosion of fire burst inside me, spreading from my stomach to the tips of my fingers. My blood sizzled. My body tingled. I couldn’t breathe. The press of his lips against mine hit me with such intensity my first response was to push him away. I brought my palms up to his chest to shove him as hard as I could, but when he nipped at my bottom lip and then licked it, soothing the sharp sting with his tongue, want filled my veins with boiling water. A moan traveled up my throat. My fingers curled, and I scraped my nails down his stomach, stopping at his belt buckle. He hissed against my lips and then slid his tongue inside my mouth. I felt that wet glide between my legs. Just the knowledge that his hands were on me sent a tremble through me, but the feel of them, the palm sliding over my hip to the curve of my ass; the gentle yet unyielding grasp on my throat incinerated any of the resistance left in me. I swayed toward him, my body melting against his. His lips le

AZZURRA "You look like shit by the way.” “Sorry Beta Leonardo for my shabby dressings," I said, then to myself I muttered as I pushed myself up, "I could have easily taken my bathe and dressed fancy while being locked up. Where’s your Alpha? Too busy doing other things?" What the fuck was I saying right now, I sound needy. His face darkened immediately. He grabbed my arm, a little too tightly. “Don’t talk about him like that. He is your alpha too.” I ripped my arm out of his grip, rolling my eyes. Whatever. Save your loyalty speech. "I am going back inside.” Leonardo’s eyes bulged. “Are you out of your fucking mind?” “People say that a lot,” I shrugged. He stared at me like I’d grown two heads. “You’ve just escaped that crazy bastard, and now you want to waltz back into his mansion?” “There are women and children in the basement,” I said firmly. “Locked up, starving. I’m not leaving them.” “No way,” he said, crossing his arms. “You’re not going anywhere near that place. A
