The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 30 Heartbeat
As I tended to his wounds, cleaning the blood and grime from his skin, Demi’s hand rose, his broad, calloused fingers resting against my cheek."What's wrong?" I asked softly, my breath catching in my throat."Do you have any idea how people look at me?" His voice was a low, resonant rumble that vibrated through the quiet room. "To them, I’m a demon. A cold-blooded monster. No one dares to come near me unless they're begging for their life or looking to lose it.""I know," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "When I was growing up, your name was always plastered across the front page. You were on the news, on every television screen. The ghost story everyone told to keep people in line."Slowly, his hand shifted, his thumb hooking beneath my chin to tilt my face upward. Forced to look directly into his dark, piercing eyes, I didn't see the ruthless mob boss or the tyrant the underworld feared. Instead, I saw the ghost of a boy who had been forced to grow up far too fast in a
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 29
"Have you ever told Demi that Kean is the killer?" Dad asked, his voice low, gravelly, and heavy with a tension that seemed to bleed into the dimly lit room."I did. Twice already," I replied, the bitter taste of fear rising in my throat at the mere memory. "But every time I bring up his name, Demi snaps. He ends up choking me until I can barely breathe, so I learned to keep my mouth shut. I need concrete evidence, Dad. That’s the only way I can break free from this place and get back to your side where I belong.""That bastard!" Dad’s jaw clenched so hard the muscle beneath his skin twitched violently. White-hot fury flared in his dark eyes—the look of a man who had executed countless wealthy, criminal businessmen in his time, a man who dealt out vengeance to the truly evil, yet now found himself helpless to shield his own daughter.I reached across the small distance between us, wrapping my hands around his trembling knuckles to anchor him. "Dad, please. Calm down."He drew in a slo
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 28 Theory
Earlier that evening, I was sitting in the hallway watching TV when Demi returned home. His shirt was torn open across his chest, his hands raw and scratched—he looked like a man who had just crawled out of a war zone.I rushed over, guiding him toward the sofa, and knelt in front of him to inspect his injuries. "What happened?" I asked.He frowned, looking at me with a flick of disorientation, as if he wasn't used to being tended to—or having anyone genuinely worry about him. "Just a minor accident," he muttered.I didn't press for the truth. Instead, I grabbed the first-aid kit, cleaned his wounds, and carefully wrapped them in bandages."Thanks," he said, his voice clipped. "But I don't need your worry."I let out a soft sigh. Here we go again with the cold, unyielding mask. "It’s only natural for me to worry," I countered, keeping my tone cool and composed. "If something happens to you, who's left to protect me?""So that's why you're worried about me?" Demi leaned in, his fingers
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 27 Shocked
The air in the manor’s sun-drenched kitchen felt thick, heavy with an unspoken, suffocating tension. As I padded across the cold marble floors, sleep still lingering at the edges of my vision, I braced myself for the usual venom. But Kaye and Stella merely stood near the counter, rigid and dead silent. There were no whispered insults, no petty cruelty, no sudden moves to corner me.Demi’s decree had taken root like a dark spell. He had drawn an absolute boundary around me, and for all their posturing, the sheer terror of his name kept their hands tied.Yet, watching them out of the corner of my eye, I knew better than to mistake their silence for surrender. Their faces were carved from cold resentment, eyes glittering with a desperate, treacherous hatred. They were plotting—I could feel it in the heavy quiet between us. But the familiar, frantic flutter of fear in my chest was gone, replaced by a strange, sharp composure. Demi had handed me his absolute authority, placing the right to
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 26 His Protection
"Demi, does your mother and I mean nothing to you anymore—just because you married that wretched girl?" Kaye spat, her words dripping with venom. Those words flipped a switch inside him. Demi Shire’s gaze darkened into something primal and terrifying. His jaw clamped tight, muscle ticking against bone, before his heavy hand cracked across Kaye’s face. The impact echoed through the high-ceilinged foyer. Kaye gasped, clutching her bleeding lip as she crumpled onto the cold marble floor. "Monster! You ungrateful beast!" Stella shrieked, rushing to shelter Kaye behind her tailored skirts. "Ungrateful?" Demi hissed. A slow, terrifying smile curved his lips upwards, devoid of warmth. I stood by his side, silently observing the shattered facade. To the outside world—and to the high-society tabloids—they had always played the part of a harmonious family. But Demi had confessed the truth to me days ago: Stella was nothing more than his late father’s ambitious second wife. In the gilde
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 25 Enemies to Allies
The velvet draperies of the master suite remained drawn against the morning light, shrouding the room in an oppressive shadow. Beside the mahogany four-poster bed stood Demi Shire—his looming silhouette dark against the silvered mirror. "From now on, I will not punish you," Demi said. His voice was a low, resonant rumble, heavy with absolute finality. I shifted beneath the silk sheets, searching his ruthless face for any sign of deception. "Does that mean you are willing to work with me?" He offered a single, precise nod. A quiet wave of relief washed over me. I was not naive; Demi Shire was a tyrant, a man who ruled his criminal empire with an iron grip and an unforgiving heart. Yet, in his dark world, a man’s word was his covenant. If he pledged that I was safe from his wrath, he would not break it. Still, the terms of our alliance weighed heavily on my chest. How was I supposed to banish Stella and Kaye from his manor? I might hold the title of his bride, but those two wom
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 5 The Gate of hell
After the forced wedding, something strange happened.Demi Shire had every right to treat me like his property, to demand anything he wanted from me. But he never touched me. He never forced me to do anything against my will.I sat on the edge of the bed in silence, watching him as he removed his j
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 3 First Punishment
The morning sun did nothing to warm me.I woke up in agony, every muscle in my body screaming in protest. As my eyes fluttered open, my blood ran cold.I wasn’t lying down. I was hanging from the ceiling.A thick rope was looped around my neck and body, holding me suspended in mid-air. My toes bare
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 2 Kidnapping her
I woke up in my own room, the events of earlier playing in my mind like a nightmare. I had driven a sword into my own chest, but I had been careful. The wound was deep enough to look fatal, yet shallow enough to keep me breathing. I had feigned death perfectly, fooling them all into thinking I was
The Devil Mafia Captive Bride Chapter 4 The Bride
The night felt endless.I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind spinning in circles. A wedding gown. Exactly the same as he requested.Why?Was he marrying someone else? But why would he care if my bruises healed? Why bring me food and force me to get better just for someone else’s weddin
