The Devil's Mistress 102
ROXANNE POV The grand dining room was nothing short of palatial. Marble floors, gold accents, crystal chandeliers and a dark wood table too long for just five people. Fred was already there, flipping lazily through a magazine, while Mrs. Clara sat like a queen at the head of the table. Her posture was immaculate, her expression unreadable. A chef emerged from the side doors with trays of food while two maids set the table with cutlery and napkins. It all felt…excessive. Once they left, Mrs. Clara gestured delicately with her fingers. "Please…serve yourselves." We did. I helped Angel with hers, cutting her pancakes and pouring a bit of syrup on top as Mrs. Clara quietly glanced between us. But when it was time to serve myself, I hesitated. For just a second, my mind flashed back to the dock. My stomach tensed. Damien’s hand slid under the table and gave my leg a comforting squeeze. I looked at him. His subtle nod grounded me, and I placed a small portion of food onto my pla

ROXANNE POVSome dreams never leave you, especially the ones you didn’t ask for.I was in a car. I could feel the subtle sway of it moving, the wheels humming beneath me, and a soft song playing on the radio, but I couldn’t make out the lyrics. Everything was hazy, like I was watching through fogged glass. I looked down at my hands resting in my lap, and my breath caught in my throat.My palms. Covered in blood.I didn’t know if it was mine. I didn’t know whose it was, but panic crept into my throat like smoke, choking me silently. The voices came next, faint at first. A man’s voice, low and muffled, and a woman’s soft laughter. They were coming from the front of the car. "Mom?" I croaked.I tried to see their faces as I leaned forward, desperate to recognize them. But just as I began to make out silhouettes, everything shifted.Glass shattered around me, and the car twisted violently as my chest tightened. I screamed at the bright lights, the sickening crunch of metal, and then, t

ROXANNE POV "I haven’t seen my granddaughter in almost a year." She spoke with her voice lower than I expected, but french-accented and polished. "Nor you..." Her eyes narrowed just a little at Damien. He didn’t flinch, but his tone was unreadable. "Been busy." "Busy enough to get engaged to a woman I’ve never met?" She asked, glancing briefly at me before returning her eyes to her son. "Busy enough that I had to hear it from someone else?” "Did you expect more, Ma?" He replied flatly, no apology in his tone. "Or less?" To my surprise, she chuckled lightly. "Touché." Her hand reached up to pat his cheek in a way that only a mother could get away with. "I’ve missed you, son." And in that moment, even with all the tension layered in the air, something shifted. A tiny piece of Damien let go. He gave her a small nod. Then his gaze turned toward me. "Roxanne." He said, nodding me over, so I was in view, "this is my mother, Clara Raphaël." I stepped forward and her eyes settl
The Devil's Mistress 99
ROXANNE POV I stood silently by the SUV as Angelina was quietly sipping from a bottle of water Fred had picked up for her from a nearby vendor. Adam stood at my side like a silent wall.I watched Damien walk over to Cedric, slamming the empty jug into his chest with a low mutter I couldn’t hear. Cedric nodded sharply and Thomas stood beside him with his hands in his pockets as he gave a small nod too.Damien turned and strode toward us, loosening the collar of his shirt as Adam opened the SUV door.I paused before stepping in, looking once more at the man’s lifeless body on the ground. My eyes met Cedric’s. His expression was unreadable, but intense.I turned away.Inside, I settled into the back seat with Angelina curled against me, her iPad now lit up with a cartoon game. She wasn’t smiling. She wasn’t laughing. She was just…quiet. Damien climbed in beside us. Fred took the front seat. Adam started the engine. And Thomas stayed behind with Cedric.As the car pulled away from the

ROXANNE POV I followed Angel's finger to one of the suited men near the end of the dock, who was balancing a polished silver tray. On it sat a small box juice, a tall glass, and a clear jug filled with what looked like iced berry juice or maybe something citrusy. "Angelina…" I began, walking briskly toward her, but not raising my voice as she stood before the man. The man gave a polite smile and bent slightly to her level. She tilted her head sassily. "Daddy said I’m not supposed to take stuff from strangers...or losers." She informed him, matter-of-factly, causing me to stifle a chuckle. I came to a stop beside her, resting my hand lightly on her head as the man chuckled awkwardly. "We all work for the Raphaël family, little princess. He’s no stranger to us." His tone was calm, but I caught a subtle tension behind his words. Just then, he gave a small nod to me and Adam suddenly appeared, silent but heavy with presence. He stepped to my other side, his sharp eyes glued to t

ROXANNE POVThe engine quieted as Damien pulled into the private hangar. Everything felt still outside the tinted windows except for the soft hum of the jet’s turbine blades in the distance. He came around to my door without a word, that signature quiet intensity etched across his face. I barely had time to undo my seatbelt before the door opened."Come on, kitten." He said lowly, reaching for my hand.I stepped out, but the moment my heels hit the pavement, my knees buckled slightly and I stumbled forward, right into his chest.Damien caught me with one arm around my waist, his body bracing mine against the car. His smirk was instant."Damien." I hissed under my breath, shooting him a glare.He knew exactly why I was wobbling."Oh, now you're quiet?" I added bitterly.The bastard had no mercy last night. I had whispered “be gentle” and he had grunted “I’ll try” before proceeding to do the opposite of that. My thighs still remembered.He leaned down, brushing a small kiss against m
