The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 44: Pretend it never happened.
LUCIAThis was a dream. It had to be. None of this was real. None of it should be real.But to my dismay, it was.It was real. Alejandro’s lips crashing against mine hadn’t been a dream, it was really happening.And I was standing here doing nothing. My body was still, my mind was hazy, my expression was that of shock. My arms went limp, the phone slipped out of my hands. It hit the floor with a loud crack, but I barely noticed.What rang through my head was what the fuck was going on…Who was pressed against my lips. It took me a second to fully grasp the situation and when I did, my heart sank.Alejandro was really kissing me.My fucking future father-in-law had his hands on my waist and his lips on mine.This shouldn’t be happening. I knew that, but stupidly I couldn't understand why I hadn't shoved him away yet. ‘This is wrong Lucia’‘Stop this now’‘Shove him away and curse him out’These words were flying through my head countering everything that was happening right now.
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 43: A kiss
ALEJANDRO I sat in the dark, my glass of whiskey untouched. Not like I didn't want to drink it. Quite the opposite, I wished to drown in it. But my brain was stuck wondering when I’d lost the fucking plot.That moment at dinner. That wasn’t supposed to happen.None of it was fucking supposed to happen!Leaning in to stare at her. To stare into her pretty hazel eyes that widened at the sight of me hovering about her.That shouldn’t have happened. Reclining into my seat, I exhaled a stream of cigarette smoke. I let the ashy taste linger in my tongue for a few seconds before dragging in another. I exhaled slowly before drawing in a weary breath.What the fuck was I doing?This was business. Lucia was fucking business to me and I’d love to keep it that way.Whatever this was, this had to stop.It had to end now. Sitting up, I rummaged through the table for my car keys. The moment I found it, I stood up and grabbed my jacket from the back of the chair.I needed fresh air. Staying co
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 42: This ends now!
LUCIAMy eyes cut to the snitch standing across the room and I snarled.How could Miguel out me like that? I thought I could trust him. We were definitely going to talk about this later and I was so going to get back at him.I took my eyes away from him and focused on the devil leaning over me. “What do you want Alejandro?” I questioned, trying to avoid his melting gaze that settled over me. Swallowing a gulp, I waited for a response but I got none. He only stayed in that position, his eyes locking firmly at me.His gaze was dark. So dark. That he looked like he wanted to devour me whole. His eyes traced down to my lips and he kept them there for a long while.Longer than he ever should.My heart raced loudly in my chest that I could literally hear it beating loudly in my ears. What was happening? Why was he staring at me intently?That aside, why the fuck wasn’t I doing anything?I should be pushing him away and cursing him out but for some reason I couldn't fathom, I couldn't mo
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 41: Deal has been sealed
ALEJANDRO Sitting calmly behind my desk, I waited for Silas’ call. In a few minutes, the landline in front of me would ring, and I should hear good news. Marco sat adjacent to me, anxiety evident in his gaze as he stared impatiently at the phone. His hands tapped repeatedly on the table, annoying the crap out of me.“Puoi rilassarti testa di cazzo?” I said coldly, my eyes locking on his hands.~Can you relax dickhead?” He stopped but not without glaring the fuck out of me.“You know I can't help it. I’m anxious as fuck. What if it all goes south? What if the police refuse to release Scorpan on bail?” A low laugh escaped my lips. I sat up and pointed at him.“You of all people should know me by now, Marco. No need to worry”Right after those words came out, the line buzzed and before I could even say anything else, Marco rushed forward to answer the call.Madre di dio. ~Mother of God.Would he ever calm down?“What’s the word Silas?” He immediately uttered, taking his eyes to me
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 40: Miguel is a snitch!
LUCIA Right after lunch, I headed back to my room to sort out my courses for the semester. All the ones I had missed already. I had about seven courses coupled up and lots of notes to catch up on. It was going to be draining for me but I had no choice. At least, I was thankful enough that I had my phone back now. Attending further online courses was now probable. Lunch was fun today. Miguel had really gone all out for today’s menu. We had Arancini for lunch today. What they call a Sicilian’s favorite. Arancini is deep fried rice balls, with risotto rice cooked with broth and parmigiano cheese as the main ingredient. The rice ball is then dipped into eggs mixed with breadcrumbs for a crunchy feel. Just thinking about it right now made my mouth water and I wished to have more. Switching on my laptop, I navigated my way to my timetable for the semester. I glanced through and picked out all my courses. Luckily for me, each course's notes weren’t as gigantic as I presumed
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

LUCIAGetting pissed for being kept a secret was one thing, but breaking up? What the hell?Carlos’ eyes were lost of all emotions but pain as he said those words.“He broke up with me Lucia” he repeated again, his eyes flooding with tears.“He said he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. What sh

LUCIADoctor Sanchez walked over to me while Alejandro lazily strolled behind. He looked exhausted, like he didn’t want to be here and he would rather use his precious time for something better.Dr. Sanchez I mean, not Alejandro.He got to where I was and pushed out a faint smile. “Good morning Sig

LUCIAThe air was thick with silence. The world felt like it had suddenly stopped moving and time had paused.Carlos stood rooted in front of me. I couldn’t see his facial expression but I knew his countenance had definitely changed. He moved his hand backwards, and grabbed one of my hands, giving
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 24: She goes nowhere
LUCIATHE NEXT DAYMy morning came with a splitting headache. A sharp pain shot through the right side of my head aggressively waking me up in groans. It felt like they were poking thousands of needles directly into my head. I sat up but I quickly laid back down when it felt like my head was going
