Alessandro

The alarm went off at twelve seventeen.

Not a sound alarm. A silent one. A pressure sensor on the east wing window that Matteo had installed three days ago without telling the girl, without telling the guards, without telling anyone except me.

My phone vibrated once on the desk.

I was already on my feet before the second vibration.

I did not run. Running in a house like mine meant panic, and panic spread. I moved fast and quiet down the corridor, two guards falling in behind me witho

  • The Devil's Possession    Chapter Five: Dark

    ElenaI did not know what happened after.I remembered fragments. Alessandro walking in with his hair loose and his robe open and his bare feet on the marble floor. The candlelight catching the planes of his chest. The way he had looked at me like he was seeing something he did not expect.Then nothing.A void. A blank space in my memory where hours should have been.I opened my eyes slowly.My head hurt. Not the sharp pain of a headache but a deep, throbbing ache that seemed to come from inside my skull, pressing outward against my temples. My eyes were heavy, my lids like lead, and my body felt limp and useless, like someone had pulled out all my bones and left only skin.I blinked.The ceiling above me was painted with figures in dark water reaching for a light. I recognized it. Alessandro's room. The white room with the candles and the enormous bed and the ceiling that had made me think of my father.I sat up immediately.My heart was racing, pounding against my ribs like a trappe

  • The Devil's Possession    Chapter Thirty Four: Drugged

    AlessandroI walked into the room expecting tears.I expected her to be curled up on the bed with her knees drawn to her chest, shaking and crying and begging me to stop. I expected the fear I had seen in her eyes upstairs, the trembling and the screams and the way her body had jerked with sobs. I had prepared myself for that. I had braced for it.What I saw stopped me cold.She was sitting on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed and her back straight and her head tilted slightly to one side. The white lingerie the maids had put her in was thin enough to see the outline of her body beneath it, the curve of her breasts and the dip of her waist and the long line of her bare thighs. Her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail, sleek and smooth, and the candlelight caught the gold in her hazel eyes.And she was smiling.Not a nervous smile or a frightened smile or the kind of smile people use to placate dangerous men. A real smile. Warm and open and completely unexpected.I stopped w

  • The Devil's Possession    Chapter Thirty Three: White Room

    ElenaI did not fight it when the guards took me.There was no point. I had stopped fighting things that were larger than me a long time ago. My uncle had taught me that lesson early and thoroughly, and whatever small rebellion I had allowed myself in this house over the past weeks had clearly cost more than I could afford.So I walked where the guards walked me and I did not struggle and I kept my arms at my sides and my face still and I breathed, one breath at a time, the way I had taught myself to breathe through things I could not stop.But I watched Lucas.He stood in the middle of that basement room and he did not cower and he did not beg and he did not look away from Alessandro's face even after the punch, even with the blood running from his lip. He stood there and he argued for me. He used words like harmless and alone and human being and he said them to Alessandro De Vercelli's face in the cold basement room of his own house.No one had ever done that for me.My father had l

  • The Devil's Possession    Chapter Thirty Two: Possession

    AlessandroThe basement room smelled like stone and cold air and the particular silence of a place that had witnessed things it would never repeat.Lucas stood in the middle of it. He was still composed. His hands were at his sides and his green eyes were steady and his jaw was set and he looked at me the way he always looked at me, like he had already calculated the situation and decided what he was willing to pay for it.I punched him in the mouth.His head snapped to the side and he staggered one step and caught himself on the wall. He touched his lip with the back of his hand and looked at the blood there, a split running clean through the center, dark and immediate. He did not hit back. He turned his head and looked at me."Feel better?" he asked."No," I said.Elena stood near the door with the two guards behind her. I had not looked at her since I entered the room. I could feel her there, that particular weight she carried everywhere, but I kept my eyes on Lucas."You want to t

  • The Devil's Possession    Chapter Thirty One: Savior

    ElenaHe was going to rape me.I knew it the moment his hands went to his belt. I knew it the way you know a storm is coming by the smell of the air and the weight of it pressing against your skin. There was no question in my mind and no hope that someone would stop him and no prayer that this was some terrible mistake. He was going to tear off the rest of my clothes and he was going to take what he wanted and he was going to call it mine because that was the only word he understood.I had never been so scared in my entire life.Not when my uncle sold me. Not when the Ivano family took me to the room with no windows. Not even when I watched Alessandro cut off a man's head and roll it across the floor like a piece of fruit. Those fears had been sharp and immediate but they had not felt like this. This was slow and deep and it was coming from someone I had started to trust, someone I had hummed for in the dark, someone whose bloody hand I had held and not let go.He pushed me down and I

  • The Devil's Possession    Chapter Thirty: Breaking

    Alessandro"Entertain me." My voice was dark and ugly.The words hung in the dark room between us, cold and sharp and final. I watched her face change. I watched the confusion become understanding and the understanding become fear. Her hazel eyes went wide and her lips parted and her hands gripped the blanket like it was the only thing keeping her upright."What?" Her voice came out small and weak.I saw the fear in her eyes but I did not care. I was too overwhelmed by rage. It had been building for hours, for maybe longer than I wanted to admit, and now it had filled me completely. There was no room for anything else. No room for reason or restraint or the careful control I had spent twenty years building. There was only her and Lucas and the way her head had rested on his shoulder like it belonged there.I walked toward her in steady steps.She scrambled backward on the bed, her back hitting the headboard, her hands coming up in front of her face like she could shield herself from m
