ESTEBAN

What if.

I had replayed a thousand and one possible scenarios in which I could have been responsible for her parents' deaths.

It was a possibility, but for what reason? There were no Stevens in the Mafia—none that I knew of.

If I didn't know any, how could I kill any?

“And what if it was you?”

Her question echoed in my head as I led her to the door. I twisted the doorknob, gesturing for her to step out first.

“I won't keep it from you.” I meant it.

I extended my arm to her as I stepped

Thank you. ...️ This book has little visibility. No promotions which equals zero to little views and subscribers. And that also means no income. It's not doing well at all. It's heartbreaking.

Why do you doubt yourself? I really like this book. The storyline and trope are nice. I only wish we had more frequent updates.

  • The Devil's Possession: His obsession   90: A FEMALE DOCTOR

    ESTEBANWhat if.I had replayed a thousand and one possible scenarios in which I could have been responsible for her parents' deaths.It was a possibility, but for what reason? There were no Stevens in the Mafia—none that I knew of.If I didn't know any, how could I kill any?“And what if it was you?”Her question echoed in my head as I led her to the door. I twisted the doorknob, gesturing for her to step out first.“I won't keep it from you.” I meant it.I extended my arm to her as I stepped out of the room. She took it. Halfway down the stairs, I caught sight of Dr. Manuel.His back was to us. He stood there looking out the window, staring at nothing in particular.“You're still here?” I asked, surprised.Startled, he turned around, adjusting his glasses.“Of course! I couldn't let my visit go to waste. The other results are out and—”“Save it for when we get to the hospital.”Manuel raised his eyebrows, and his gaze flickered to Caitlin.“It is decided then,” he said, clasping his

  • The Devil's Possession: His obsession   89: IT HURTS TO LOVE

    CAITLINWhat would I have him do?I asked myself the same question that he had asked me. He was a mafia Don. A ruthless one, which had earned him the name they all called him.Diablo.What exactly did I expect from him? He didn't earn the title from being a saint.“If I were ‘good’ like you expect, Scott and I wouldn't be alive. Fuck, none of us would.”It pained me to admit, even to myself, that he was, in fact, right.While I couldn't, for the life of me, agree with the rules of the game, there was no denying that things were messy—bloody.Esteban could have killed those men on the field. No, he came up with a plan.There was no such thing as pity in situations like that. They had missed his heart by mere inches.I watched him bleed and struggle to stay conscious while actively figuring out a way to save his cousin.I turned on him, blaming him for Scott's death without knowing the truth. He dealt with his wounds on his own, which delayed his healing.None of that mattered. Only the

  • The Devil's Possession: His obsession   88: I'M NOT A GOOD GUY

    ESTEBAN“How did you get a donor for Scott's surgery in such a short time? Those things take some time and—”The smile slowly faded from my face.Caitlin was playing with her fingers, her eyes focused on me.I let out a sigh. She had probably heard something from one of them. What I did wasn't something I was ashamed of. I did what I had to do.In the game, it was either kill or get killed. I chose to delay the killing, and for good reason.“What did you hear?” I asked softly.“That—that you killed men for their hearts,” she stuttered. “Is it true?” Caitlin whispered.“Yes and no.” I sat up, my gaze fixed on her face as I watched every play of emotion, every expression.“I don't understand you.”“I didn't kill men for their hearts, Caitlin. I kept them alive for their hearts. One heart. That was all Scott needed.”Her frown deepened.I stood up from my seat and went to her. I put my hands on her arms. She looked up at me, confusion in her gaze.“Remember the day I was stabbed?”She no

  • The Devil's Possession: His obsession   87: IS IT TRUE

    CAITLINI breathed a sigh of relief when Esteban shut the door behind him.He had been so gentle and thoughtful, but I didn't want the moment ruined by questions.Questions whose answers I was beginning to doubt.I closed my eyes and held my breath as I slid deeper into the tub. The water soothed the ache in my body. I lifted my head out of the water, sucking in air through my mouth.Why couldn't I just ask him?Maybe it was the lovesick fool in me or the hormones.He wasn't one to lie about things. Ever. He didn't care what anyone thought of him. Asking seemed like the right thing to do.But then why did he ask like he had no idea about it?I got out of the tub, wrapping a towel over my chest. I stood in front of the mirror. My collarbones were a lot more visible than they used to be.Curious, I took off the towel and stared at my reflection. For a woman who was pregnant, my waist was smaller than it had been when I wasn't.I chuckled softly, putting a hand over my belly. It took a b

  • The Devil's Possession: His obsession   86: YOU'RE MORE HUMAN THAN THEY CLAIM

    ESTEBAN“What do you mean, I killed your parents?” I asked, watching her closely.She lowered her gaze, fidgeting with the covers.Her face went pale. She gagged, pressing a hand over her mouth. I wanted to get up and reach for her. The answers I wanted no longer mattered. But I stopped myself. I couldn’t keep acting like a fool for her. I watched her tug at the IV line, pull it out, and bolt to the bathroom.Caitlin barely had anything in her system to retch. She vomited, coughed, sighed and moaned. The sound was agonizing. I did that to her.I stood up and walked to the bathroom. She was leaning over the sink, her hands gripping its sides as though she'd drop to the ground if she let go.Walking quietly to her side, I rubbed her back, soothing her. She flinched, then relaxed as she caught my reflection in the mirror.“Caitlin…”Honestly, I didn’t know what to say to her. Sorry for getting you pregnant? Sorry my little devil’s putting you through this? That didn’t seem right. But I w

  • The Devil's Possession: His obsession   85: THE DEVIL GIVES YOU A CHOICE

    CAITLIN "See you in ten minutes," Esteban said, stepping out of the room."This is for both of—"I held up a hand, gesturing for the doctor to keep quiet. Esteban shut the door behind him, ignoring the man as though he hadn't heard him at all.Sitting up in bed, I waited until Esteban's footsteps faded. My heart was racing in my chest.My gaze shifted from the door to the doctor's face.“Tell me, the good news you mentioned…” I exhaled. “Is it what I think it is?”“Miss, I don't know what you're thinking, but I can tell you the good news now,” he smiled. “You're pregnant.”“I can't be pregnant,” I repeated the words over and over as though they could change anything.Although I had guessed it, hearing the doctor confirm it still came as a shock. It was a good thing I had asked Esteban to leave the room.“I thought it would be exciting news. From the looks of it, this wasn't planned,” the doctor mumbled, adjusting his glasses.“It wasn't,” I snapped.The man just nodded. “I see.”“No,
