The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 4: Toronto
DANTEPRESENT DAYI was sitting in my office, going through numerous paperworks when Massimo barged in with a horrid look on his face.My head snapped towards his direction and a frown formed on my face.“Massimo? What is it?” I asked calmly.He began to walk closer to the table and that was when I noticed the envelope in one of his hands and a ziplock in the other hand.“Don Vescari, there seems to be a big problem” he said immediately and dropped the contents right in front of me. Pushing the paperwork to the side I picked up the envelope and took a look at it. Inside were pictures. Pictures of a dead body lying in the woods.I looked at Massimo then back at the pictures, flipping through them one by one.Even with his face unrecognizable, I knew exactly who that was. It was Don Richie Caruso, the man I killed two days ago.Flipping through more of the pictures, my eyes landed on one that made me pause. I singled it out and threw the rest of the picture on the table.Taking a closer
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 62: Phonebooth
LUCIA Midnight eventually came and I was ready to move. The moment the clock hit twelve, I stood up from my bed and walked quietly to the window in the room. I checked outside to see if there were still guards lurking around the retreat. Thankfully, there wasn’t. It seemed they had all gone to sleep. Perfect timing. Tiptoeing back to the center of the room, I took one last look around the room. I desperately hoped that this would be my last time here. For real this time. I no longer wanted to follow the decision of my heart. That was so stupid of me. I was getting out of here today. Walking over to my bed, I picked up my phone as that was the only thing I would be needing. A few hours ago, the lapel pin guard who I now learnt his name was Roberto after I asked had brought a bag filled with little clothes and essentials to me. He said that Alejandro had instructed that I spend a few days here and he had asked Miguel to pack a little bag for me so I would be comfortable. I
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 61: Midnight
LUCIAAs much as I wanted to stay right in this position for as long as I could, even going against the thoughts in my head that screamed this was so wrong, there was something I had to discuss with Alejandro. This marriage thing with Carlos. I just couldn’t understand why Alejandro was taking this so seriously and I also couldn’t sit down and not do anything. I wanted to help Carlos out as much as I could. It was Carlos' life and he had every right to dictate what he wanted, when he wanted it and even Alejandro as his father shouldn’t have the right to go against that. We needed to have a real talk about this, so ignoring my heart that so desperately wanted to lean into his touch further, I slowly pulled away from him. “Alejandro…we need to talk” I uttered, slipping further away from him. I raised my head to look at him before releasing a faint smile. “We need to talk, Alejandro. This is important” I repeated again, then moved to walk to the bed. I sat on the edge of the bed, w
The Devil’s Obsession Chapter 60: Blushing mess
LUCIARight after the driver parked the car, I jumped out and practically ran towards the entrance of the building. I didn’t even care about the guards that panic-ran behind me with a flush of surprise drawn all over their faces. I smirked. They looked so cute in their confused state. “Signora!” The man with the lapel pin rushed to stand in front of me, stopping me in my tracks. He released a breath, then straightened his posture. “What?” I asked, like I almost didn't just give him a heart attack, but served him right for trying to ignore me when I asked about where we were going. I could guess that the reason why they were being so uptight was because Alejandro might have given them clear instructions to never let me out of their sights. And oh boy, I couldn’t wait to see their faces when my escape became a success. “Not…nothing. This way Signora Lucia” he stammered as he pointed to the entrance of the building and ushered me to go in first. Turning to take a look around, I t

LUCIAImmediately after Miguel said those words, the men noticed my presence and instantly bowed. “Signora!” Their voices rang through the entire room, startling me out of place. I jolted and moved backwards a bit, taking my hands to my chest. What is happening right now?“Miguel?” I called, scared out of my wits. “What is happening?”Just then, Miguel chuckled and began to walk towards the stairs. He walked up the stairs until he was just inches away from me. Gripping the railings, he leaned towards it. “Nothing is happening Signora” he muttered with a smile as if trying to ease my fear. “Don Alejandro has asked for you to be escorted out of the mansion for air” he added and I froze. There was no way…there was no way that was true.“Ar…are you for real?”Miguel’s swift nod quickly told me it was actually true.I was actually stepping out of the mansion’s gate.But why? I mean, for what? What happened? Why the sudden change from Alejandro?Suddenly he was authorizing me going ou

LUCIATHE NEXT MORNING My sleep was interrupted by the loud ringing of the landline. Believe me when I say it took everything in me not to pick it up and smash it against the wall. Why the fuck was Miguel calling me this early? Was it even time for breakfast? Still subconsciously in my sleep, my hands roamed my bed for my phone. I picked it up by the edge of the bed to check the time.It was still seven in the morning. Breakfast wasn’t until an hour later. So, why was Miguel calling me on the landline like it was time for breakfast? I hesitated picking up at first, thinking it was better to just ignore it and go back to sleep like I never heard it in the first place, but the phone kept ringing and I had no choice but to drag myself groggily out of my bed to pick up the phone.The instant I placed the phone to my ear, the first word I muttered was “Miguel, breakfast isn’t until an hour later, why are you calling me?!” The other side of the phone was silent for a few seconds as if

LUCIANow that the words slipped out of my mouth, I was starting to realize that maybe I shouldn't have actually said that. Because the instant the words left my mouth, Alejandro paused in his tracks and then he turned.The corner of his eyes darkened as he stared sternly at me. Then his brows furr

ALEJANDROThe little one was quite optimistic and fiesty but it’s a shame that I had to crush all her hopes into pieces. She was no match for me. I could see through all her schemes and all her escape plans.I was always one step ahead of her, no matter what.I knew she had plans of trying to esca

LUCIAAccept my fate? That was a whole load of crap. I was going to find a way out of this mess by all means. I would never get married against my own will.I shoved the few clothes I could find in my wardrobe into my small suitcase. I didn’t want to take much for easy carriage so I limited my thi

LUCIAI met the devil the morning after my twentieth birthday. A buzz from my phone jolted me awake, and I scrambled to search for my phone. When I got a hold of it, I picked the call without checking the caller ID.“Lucia, downstairs, five minutes, now!” The call ended.Those four words made me j
