The Devil Who Bought Me Chapter Ninety: Matteo Is Alive.
The two men were being held in the basement. It wasn't a dungeon or anything dramatic. Just a secure room with a table, two chairs, and a large observation window. It had been built for moments like this. Lorenzo's men had captured them in the office building before they ever reached Natalie. By the time she finished her supplier meeting, both men were already in custody. Marco was waiting outside the room. Lorenzo walked in alone. Natalie and Anita watched from the observation room. Over the past few months, Natalie had seen many sides of Lorenzo. She had seen him kind, patient, protective, and dangerously calm. This version was different. This was the man who had spent years leading people through impossible situations. He sat across from one of the captives. Neither of them spoke at first. The silence stretched. Finally, the man broke it. "We're not talking." His Russian accent was thick, his confidence obvious. Lorenzo didn't react. "You will." His voice was calm
The Devil Who Bought Me Chapter Eighty-Nine : Matteo's Alive
Thursday arrived the way life changing days often do. Looking completely ordinary. The sky outside was the same pale grey it had been all week. The coffee maker hummed in the kitchen. The house followed its usual morning routine. Shower. Clothes. Breakfast. Nothing hinted that this day would split their lives into before and after. Natalie had learned not to trust ordinary mornings. She was dressed by seven in a dark jacket and comfortable flats. Standing before the mirror, she studied her reflection for a moment. It wasn't vanity. It was a quiet check to make sure she was ready. She was. Downstairs, Lorenzo was already waiting in the kitchen. He handed her a cup of coffee without speaking. They stood side by side in comfortable silence, the kind shared by two people who had already said everything that mattered the night before. "My team is already in position," he said at last. "How many?" "Enough. Every exit is covered. Two men inside, three outside. Anita wil
The Devil Who Bought Me Chapter Eighty-Eight : Re-strategize
The file Anita sent was forty three pages long. By the time Lorenzo came downstairs, Natalie had already spread every page across the dining table. His hair was still damp from his shower, but the moment he saw the documents, something changed in him. The grief he had carried over the past few days quietly disappeared behind calm focus. He stepped closer. "What did Anita find?" he asked. Natalie handed him the first page. "Three important things. First, Fiona's communication records with the unknown contact. Second, a report tracking my aunt's movements over the last three days." She paused. "The third one is what really matters." Lorenzo lowered his eyes to the page. He read silently for a few moments before looking back at her. "She made a mistake." Natalie nodded. "Yes." For months, Fiona had been incredibly careful. She rarely made mistakes. Every message was coded. Every meeting was planned. Every move was calculated. But no one could stay perfect forever. Eventu

She found Lucian in the garage.He was standing beside his car with his keys in his hand and a bag at his feet, the kind of bag that said he had already made a decision before she got there. He looked up when he heard her footsteps and something in his expression settled, not relief, not quite. The look of a man who had been waiting without knowing he was waiting."You're leaving," she said."Thought it was best," he said.She looked at the bag. Then at him."Lorenzo asked you to go," she said. Not accusatory. Just placing it."Lorenzo didn't have to," he said. "I was there, Natalie. I saw his face in that doorway." He turned the keys over in his hand once. "There are things you do to people you love without meaning to and there are things you do knowing exactly what they'll cost. Last night was the second kind." He looked at her. "I'm not going to keep costing him things."She stood with that for a moment."Where will you go?" she asked."I have a place," he said. "I'll be fine. I'm
The Devil Who Bought Me Chapter Eighty-Six : Jealous Husband
Dinner was a performance.That was the only word for it. Two people seated across a table, passing dishes, pouring water, existing in the same room with the practiced ease of people who had done this many times except that tonight something sat between them that neither of them named, a presence as real as a third person at the table, eating all the food and saying nothing.Lorenzo was courteous.That was the worst part.Not cold in the obvious way, not clipped or short or visibly withdrawn. He asked her how her afternoon had been. He mentioned something Anita had sent over about the shop. He refilled her glass without being asked. Every gesture was exactly what it should have been and not one degree warmer, and she sat across from him and felt the distance like a physical thing, like a drop in temperature in a room where the windows hadn't moved.She had tried to speak to him on the stairs.She had caught him in the hallway before dinner and said his name and he had turned and looked

Her little nemesis found her , or rather she found him in the library.He was actually reading, legs stretched out on the old leather sofa near the window, a book open across his chest, the afternoon light falling across him in the particular lazy way it did in that room at that hour. He looked unbothered. Comfortable. Like a man with nothing on his conscience and nowhere pressing to be.She had always found that quality in him disarming.Today it just made her tired."Lucian," she said.He looked up. Saw her face. Closed the book."You look like you've had a day," he said."Several," she said. She came and sat in the armchair across from him not close, not pointed, just the nearest available seat. She had told herself on the way down the stairs that this would be a simple conversation. Necessary but simple. She would say what needed saying and he would hear it and that would be that.She was already sensing it wasn't going to be that."I need to talk to you about something," she said

"Just say what a this is all about, I don't have time for games.," she said. He kept his gaze fixated on her. "when were you planning on telling me about my warehouse? " he said. She couldn't read his tone. she has no idea how he was feeling and how best to approach him. She scoffed instead
The Devil Who Bought Me Chapter Thirty -Three : The smell of Revenge.
Natalie stepped into the bare, echoing space that would soon become her studio. The smell of fresh paint lingered in the air, mingling with the faint traces of sawdust from the newly installed shelves. Fiona was already there, animatedly gesturing toward the far wall where she envisioned a display

Natalie leaned back in her chair, considering. “The company still owns an old production studio in the city. It’s small, but it’s… perfect. No one will look twice at it." Fiona arched a brow. “Except maybe Lorenzo’s people. You really think you can slip under his radar?” A slow smile touched Natal

Her breath hitched. "I wasn't....." He cut her off by placing a finger on her lips. She quivered, suddenly running out of breath. Lorenzo’s grip softened, but his hands stayed warm against her waist. “Cara,” his voice dropped, deep and deliberate, “next time Leila so much as breathes wrong
