LUCIA

I couldn’t fully picture why I made that promise to Carlos. Maybe because I really pitied him? Or maybe because I saw this as an advantage?

I really couldn’t figure it out. Either way I had already made a promise and I was sticking with it.

I let his hands slip away from mine as silence reeked through the air right after. Both of us just stared at each other, not saying anything.

To be honest, I didn't really have anything to say.

“I…i think i have to leave now” Carlos said, and I look

  • The Devil’s Obsession    Chapter 39: Email to my professors

    LUCIAI spent thirty more minutes outside before deciding to head back in.That was enough fresh air and sunlight for now. The sun had become hotter than normal and it was starting to literally burn my skin. After having my bath, I hadn't bothered to apply sunscreen because I didn't think I was going to be outside for a long time.And now I am regretting it.I hopped off the swing, lightly dusting my dress in the process. Apart from the sun making me want to go back inside, there was also another reason why I had to head back soon.I had to look into all my classes I had missed this past two weeks and also send an email to each of my lecturers stating reasons why I wouldn't be able to physically attend lectures for probably the rest of the semester.Sucks right? This was all that scoundrel’s fault but I was the one taking the fall. I pulled out my phone and unlocked it. The spy app vigorously stared at me and it took everything in me not to smash my phone angrily on the ground. My ha

  • The Devil’s Obsession    Chapter 38: Hope

    LUCIAThat devil really did put a spy app on every single one of my gadgets. Anger slipped through my veins as I stared heinously at the app in front of me. It was some kind of weird looking app that seemed scary even at first glance. The icon’s background was black in color, with some kind of manly silhouette drawn-out design at the center. The man seemed to be wearing a hat, a shade and a coat. Just like detectives, but a scarier version with eerie vibes. It looked like that popular incognito logo but this was much more creepier.For the past hour and a half, I had been trying to uninstall the app permanently from my phone. But no matter how hard I tried, it would not delete.It just kept telling me ‘This app cannot be deleted’“Argh!” I tossed my phone angrily on my bed and crossed my arms.So much for trying to make a deal with that devil. What am I going to do now? If I couldn't get hold of my brothers, what then was really the use of getting this phone back? I might as well

  • The Devil’s Obsession    Chapter 37: Spy app

    LUCIAI walked hastily behind Alejandro as he led me up to the first floor. I wondered whether we were going to his study room, but then he paused and took a turn to the other wing.My heart dropped. The other wing led to his room. We walked further until we got to his familiar door.Thoughts began to flow in my head. Thoughts about that day I saw him come out of his bathroom half naked, water slipping down his ripped body. Sweat trickled down my forehead as I gulped down a huge ball of saliva. Now wasn’t the best time to be having this thought.“Focus Lucia” I murmured to myself in husk breath.He pushed the door open and walked in. He left the door agape for me to follow through but I hesitated. I didn’t know what I was doing here and I was starting to have weird thoughts and ideas forming in my head. When he noticed that I wasn't behind him anymore, he turned around with furrowed brows.His hands were stuffed tightly in his pocket as he looked at me. “You’re not coming in?” He a

  • The Devil’s Obsession    Chapter 36: Follow me

    LUCIA~MORNING~For the first time in about two weeks since I got here, I had a good sleep. Maybe it was because I knew what awaited me in the morning, or was it because of what transpired at midnight?Either way, I was freaking happy. Sunlight seeped in through the little open gap in my window. The breeze blew in, cascading me in warmth. My eyes slowly fluttered open and a smile formed on my lips.Today was going to be a good day. I just knew it.I sat up and did a stretch, followed by a loud yawn. I got up from my bed and walked over to my wardrobe. Judging from how the sun was blaring right at me, I could tell that it would be time for breakfast soon. I had to take a shower and prepare.My eyes flew to the door and I walked over. I pulled the door open and poked my head out a little. I was expecting Miguel to be here with my gadgets by now. Or wasn’t he coming?Was Alejandro trying to be sneaky? The warm smile on my face died immediately.That can’t be right. He wouldn’t dare.

  • The Devil’s Obsession    Chapter 35: Threat? Yes.

    LUCIAI was fucked and I knew it. But I wasn’t going to admit it. Not now. Not ever.Not when I knew it was going to fuel his pride. Alejandro began to inch closer to me and it took everything in me not to fuse with the wall.“Sta…stay back” I stammered as my heart raced in fear. Tears formed in the corner of my eyes but I was not going to let them drop.Never. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction that he wanted.I may have not known how he found out about my plan but that wasn’t going to stop me from still trying to escape.“Stay back Alejandro. I’m serious” I said again, this time, my voice cold. “Why?” He grinned as he asked. “Do you think you have a chance of escaping even if I don't move?”I rolled my eyes “I don’t care. I’m getting out of here whether you like it or not”“I’d love to see you try Chiquita,” he chuckled. “Or did you think as the most powerful Don in Sicily, security wouldn’t be my top priority?”I chuckled and blew off a strand of my hair out of my fa

  • The Devil’s Obsession    Chapter 34: Escaping without me?

    LUCIA~MIDNIGHT~I was set to go and by the look of things, everything was going as planned. My backpack was already filled with my necessities. A few clothes, a book and pen for guidelines and translation reasons, a flashlight and of course, my unbroken confidence. A deep sigh escaped my lips as I took one last look at my room. I was standing in the center of my room, taking one last glimpse at a place I hoped would be my last. I really hoped this would be my last time here. I hoped I would finally escape from the caged life that Alejandro was about to put me through.Although I was a hundred percent confident in my foolproof plan, I still couldn’t help but feel a little scared. I had spent the whole evening planning and preparing, even skipping dinner to not get distracted and also to not see that fool. He disgusted me.And now that time has come. I couldn’t really tell time since I had no way but by looking at the glaring full moon that glowed up my entire room even with all my

    LUCIAAs I watched Alejandro continue to ascend up the stairs gloriously, I couldn't help but wonder where it all went wrong. Everything happening to me now, was it before I disobeyed my father when I was fifteen by sneaking out of the house when he told me not to? Or was it because I changed majo

  • The Devil’s Obsession    Chapter 32: Change of plans 2

    LUCIA It was past six and Alejandro still wasn’t back. It wasn’t like I was bothered or something. It was just unusual. Alejandro was always home. Well, from the few days I had spent here, I had been able to come to that conclusion. “Does he always come this late whenever he goes out for somet

    ALEJANDROAll eyes were fixed on me as they waited for my order. Silas turned to me and asked “what do you suggest we do, Don Alejandro?”I leaned into my reclined seat, my head searching for ideas. There was only one way out of this that wouldn’t incur violence of any kind, and that was releasing

    ALEJANDROOne thing I had studied about Lucia was that she always portrayed herself as fearless even when she was shivering in fear beneath her toes. And boy oh boy, do I love myself a challenge. A light frown formed on my face as I gripped the tail of the fork tightly “what are you talking about
