I was walking down the staircase unsure of what to do.

Natalie had left for college earlier, and Luca went off to work.

So it was just me here. Each of Santino's men I walked past watched me like they were waiting for me to do something, slip up and show the real reason I was here.

Ignoring them, I went into the kitchen. I was bored and had nothing to do and Luca told me to make sure I ate by 1pm and it's fifteen minutes past.

I was browsing through the pantry with a cookie in my mouth, looking for something to eat.

"What are you doing?" Santino asked from behind me and I stilled, cookie still in my mouth.

I remained still, hoping that he would maybe leave or something if I don't answer to him.

"I asked a question." He says and I could tell he was holding back from snapping at me, the irritation evident in his tone.

Straighting my back, I slowly turned around meeting his dark eyes.

"I-I…" I stuttered unable to form any coherent sentence.

I felt nervous around him, but why?

"You-you..

  • The Devil's Obsession    Rage

    Micini’s POVI didn’t get out of bed until the afternoon.When I opened my eyes, Natalie was already gone. But the blanket was still draped over me like a promise.I felt lighter.Not healed. Not okay.But lighter.Maybe crying had wrung something out of me. Or maybe I was just too tired to keep carrying everything today.I showered. Slowly. As if every drop of water might rinse away the filth I felt clinging to my skin.By the time I made it downstairs, I didn’t expect anyone to be waiting.But Luca was in the kitchen.He looked up as soon as I entered. His whole face shifted into something soft and familiar.Something safe.Or… what I thought safety looked like.“I made you tea,” he said, gesturing to the cup on the counter.I nodded, sitting down without speaking.I didn't question how he knew I was on my way down, I didn't have the strength for that He didn’t push the conversation. Just slid the tea toward me and sat across the island.I took a sip. It was warm. Bitter. Grounding

  • The Devil's Obsession    Tears

    _Micini’s POV_The silence after Saint left was worse than anything he said.Even the echo of the door slamming didn’t linger.It was like his presence had been scrubbed from the room, and in its place was a gaping hollow that nothing could fill.Luca didn’t speak. He didn’t touch me, either.He just sat beside me like a shadow. A waiting shape. Always there.I stared into the fireplace, watching the flames flicker and shrink. They reminded me of everything inside me — too much heat, burning itself out.All I could think about were my parents and how much that information had hurt me. “I should go rest,” I finally said, my voice dry and flat.My mind was barely there and if he said anything else, I didn't hear him.Luca stood as I stood.He didn’t offer to walk me back. I think even he knew I needed silence more than safety.The hallway felt too long. Too narrow. Like it was built to make people feel small.Make ME feel small. Maybe that’s what this whole house was — a maze designed

    Micini's POV_We uncovered something... but I'm not sure you'll want to hear it."My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach, my legs shaking beneath me. They found something about my parents. After all this while. "What did you find?" Luca asked, wrapping his arm around my waist to steady me. Suddenly hearing about my parents shook me more than I thought. And why wouldn't it? Daniel had kidnapped me years ago and all the memories I had about my parents disappeared. I couldn’t even remember what my own mother looked like. And now he says he found something about them? I wasn't sure what to feel.Does my parent know about me? Would they want me when they find out? Different thoughts ran through my head and I struggled for what to do.Luca seemed to understand the way I felt because his fingers dug into my waist lightly, holding my steady.“It’s okay.” He whispered. “Let’s hear what he has to say.” “What did you find?” My voice was small. It didn’t even sound like mine.The ma

  • The Devil's Obsession    Uncovered Secrets

    I walked down the hallway, my mind filled with confusion and guilt. I had left Luca's room in a rush after kissing him, I couldn't stand seeing the look on his face when I broke off our kiss. To me, it felt as if I was deceiving him, and maybe I was. I had kissed him less than thirty minutes after his brother touched me and I felt dirty. The kiss with Luca still lingered on my Lips but it didn't feel right. Not in the way it should have. Not in the way it felt with Saint.And for some reason, my thoughts kept spiraling back to Saint; I couldn't forget the way he looked at me when I was with his brother.Like I had betrayed him.Why does he have this effect on me? I chose Luca... didn't I?And besides, Saint had Ciara so it really shouldn't matter much. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.At that moment I just needed to escape and clear my head to figure out what the hell I was doing.Before I realized it, the mansion's familiar corridors gave way to unfamiliar doors

  • The Devil's Obsession    Torn Desires

    I swallowed hard, my pulse racing as both brothers stared at me, waiting for an answer.They had just put me on the spot and I was forced to face my emotions.Two pairs of eyes pinned me to the spot, both the same color but they held different emotions.My mind was scrambling, searching for something, anything that would clear the tension between them.Wait, what was I stressing myself over?.. I could just say the truth, what was the point in lying? It was Luca’s room after allLuca is my boyfriend. I was standing in front of Luca's door. I had come here to see Luca.Isn't that what I should say since it was the truth? So why was I hesitating?Was it because of Saint?“I came for Luca,” I said quietly, my voice barely above a whisper. “This is his room, isn't it? I didn’t know you’d be here, Saint.”Saint’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightening as my words hit him.He was expecting me to pick him...He wanted me to say that I was here for him, but why was that?I didn't know he would be

  • The Devil's Obsession    Pick

    I leaned against the wall, my chest still heaving from what happened with Saint.What was he trying to gain by doing that?Wasn't it bad enough that I was already conflicted?He just had to come and make me feel things I didn't want to feel.And the look he had given me, 'You belong to me.' But I was with Luca now, why doesn't he understand that?!'But Lucas doesn't make your heart race just like he does.' That tiny voice in my head said and I knew it was right.But still, what had I done? Luca is the one I'm dating, not Saint.I shouldn’t have let him touch me. Worse, I shouldn’t have wanted it. Yet, I had stood here silently, still wanting more.A lump formed in my throat as I slid down the wall, resting my head against my knees.I didn't go through all these problems while I was with Daniel.I don't recall what he had done to me these past two years that I had forgotten, but I'm certainly giving relationship advice to the boy I liked wasn't going to be one.Heck, if Daniel found o
