The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 13: Your secret is safe
LUCIAHeat radiated through the room at that instant. My palm that rested on his knee slowly slipped off as I took in what he just said. My eyes locked on his, but weirdly I couldn't look away.I was too shocked. Too stunned to speak, move or even breathe. I just sat there, scared that if I moved an inch, something would happen.“Are…are you not going to say anything?” Carlos asked, jolting me out of my shocked state.“What?” I asked absentmindedly.Genuinely that word came out of my mouth unprepared, like I wasn't thinking when I said it, but to Carlos? I guess that offended him a bit.Because his eyes darkened and his body stiffened.“You know what? Forget it” he pushed the chair backwards and stood up.“I shouldn’t have said anything. This conversation did not happen” He began to walk towards the door, not even giving me a minute to process all that was happening. He had almost gotten to the door before my mind fully took in what was happening.I rushed over and cornered him befo
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 12: Anxious Carlos
LUCIAFor a moment, time stood still.Time paused.The room instantly fell silent, so silent that you could even hear a pin drop. My eyes shot from Alejandro to Carlos, and I caught his shocked expression.My lips slowly parted as the realization started to dawn on me. This was really getting serious. For a split second, I had been so occupied by my plan that the thought of the wedding shortly escaped my mind.And now, the one thing I feared the most had been brought back to me. I had been reminded of it.This meant that I had to step up my game. I had to act fast. Time was limited and I had to make the best of it.“What?” I asked, acting surprised. I let my facial expression hold that of both shock and anger, but deep within I was calculating. I knew there was no way out of this unless I made a way out and that was what I was going to do.“Yes Lucia? Any problem?” Alejandro asked as he took a bite of his food.I stared at him for a few seconds, then I forced a smile.“No, not at all
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 11: Alejandro’s Cousin 1
LUCIA I wrapped up everything as quickly as possible, separating the clothes, neatly folding them and arranging them cleanly in my wardrobe. By the time I was done it had been about twenty minutes after Miguel called me down for breakfast. I knew I was late already so I just gathered the rest and left them in the bag. I knew if I wasted more time, Alejandro might come here himself and I really didn’t want to see him. I didn’t know what his deal was with eating together always but I knew as long as I was under his roof I couldn’t avoid it. This gave me more motive to escape and get the fuck out of this wretched place. Taking off my clothes, I stepped into the bathroom and turned on the faucet linked to the bathtub. I let the water run freely until it was filled up. I stepped in shortly after applying shampoo and conditioner to my hair. I submerged my whole body into the tub leaving only my head out. My eyes closed and i felt a moan escape my lips as the water did something to me.
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 10: Hefty bags of clothes
LUCIAI stormed out of Alejandro’s office pissed out of my wits.How the heck was I going to make a man I could barely stand his guts fall in love with me? “Argh!” I groaned as thoughts of what happened previously in his office came rushing back.What does he mean by absolutely not? Was he just going to ignore the fact that i barely flew here with anything on me?He obviously knew that I needed new clothes. Because of him I couldn't even take proper clothes from home and now he doesn’t even want me to get some?That is just so cruel of him.I strolled back to my room feeling defeated. Part of me thought there was a slim chance of me attempting an escape if he had allowed me to go out and the other part really just wanted to get new clothes for myself.The clothes I shoved roughly in my suitcase wouldn’t even be enough for me to spend two days here. I had thought I could buy new clothes and all when I escaped but now I didn’t even have access to my phone or any cash.I got to my room
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 9: See through her
ALEJANDROI could see through her like a thin piece of clothing. I knew what she was trying to do. She was trying to push my buttons, she was trying to push me to the edge so I could snap and call everything off.I knew her plans. I knew Lucia like the back of my palm. I knew what she was capable of.And that wasn’t going to happen. She was getting married to Carlos whether she liked it or not.Her father sold her to me and now she was mine. I could do fit, whatever I wanted with her and that was for her to marry my son and bear an heir for the Delgado clan.My eyes lurked coldly on the overly excited Lucia sitting close to me. Her quick change of behavior wasn’t surprising to me. In fact I had expected it. I had expected her to pull off something huge like this. I wanted to see how far she could go.“So what’s for dinner Alejandro?” She asked excitedly, but I didn't respond. Instead, I called on Miguel to bring the food in.Miguel and some maids walked in a few seconds later, with tr
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 8: A plan in motion
LUCIAAs I stood motionless in the center of the hallway, I still wanted to believe that this whole shit that Alejandro just pulled was a lie. There was no way in hell my father would give his daughter up for power. It just didn’t seem possible. What about the father-daughter moments we spent together? The promises he made to my dead mother to take care of me and my brothers, was he throwing all that away for some wretched power? My eyes lingered soullessly on the wall, thoughts spiraling through my head. If this was really true, does this mean I was no longer welcomed at home? If I eventually escape from this cage, would I have nowhere to go? The only place I could call home had given up on me and now I was alone. “Lucia?” I felt a hand tug on my elbow and I looked up. Carlos was standing right in front of me, worry laced in his gaze.“Are you okay?” He asked, but I couldn't even answer.Was I okay? I didn’t know. I didn’t know what to feel, what to think, what to even do. Every
