LUCIA

As 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 th

  • 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

    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.

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

    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 furrowed.“What did you just say to me Lucia?” He asked coldly.My heart dropped. It dropped deep down to my belly. My stomach instantly felt heavy and I felt sweat start to trickle down my face, but I kept a straight face.I may have said things out of place, I may have overstepped my boundaries by speaking to him in that manner, but I know one thing for sure. I was right. He had no right whatsoever to order me around. I wasn’t some runway puppet that he could move around with his hands. I was human like him too, and I had feelings. Not that he had any to be honest. He was practically heartless.I kept quiet and didn’t respond to his question. I guess this got him really pissed because within

  • The Devil’s Obsession    Chapter 6: Order

    LUCIA“Dad, what do you mean you are confiscating my phone?" I heard Carlos say from God knows where and I saw my last glimmer of hope crumble before me.My throat tightened and my grip on the door handle stilled. There goes the little hope I had. “It’s only until the wedding” Alejandro’s cold voice rang through the hallway and I felt my belly pound in disgust.Wedding? No fucking wedding was going to happen. I was getting out of here before that scumbag would even think about marrying me into his family.Irritation coursed through my veins, and I released my grip on the handle. Footsteps echoed through the hallway and I turned to the direction of the sound.Carlos popped out, clearly looking pissed and frustrated. He walked closer to me “I'm…I'm sorry. I got to my room and I found out my phone wasn’t there, only to realize my father had taken it” he tried to apologize.I shook my head, and smiled. There was no need to apologize. This wasn’t even his fault. It was that Devil’s fault.
