The Devil wears Red Lipstick CHAPTER 82 Trapped in Bed
Marion’s POVThe first thing I notice is the weight. My body feels like it’s been stuffed with sandbags, heavy and unwilling. My eyes slit open, vision hazy, the white hospital ceiling above me swimming like it’s underwater.And then....A shriek. Sharp, piercing. “HEY! You’re up!”I flinch, groaning. “For God’s sake, Viv. Lower the volume. I was sedated, not resurrected.”Her face hovers into focus, wide eyes, trembling lips, looking like she’s been parked at my bedside for hours. Maybe she has.“Where’s Jude?” My voice is dry and scratchy.“Jacob called him back to the manor.”Even through my blurry vision, I catch it—the tight worry twisting her expression. She looks like she’s hiding something.“What’s wrong?” I press.“You.” Her answer comes quick, too quick. “Why didn’t you tell me? Huh? That you were sick? I thought...” Her voice wavers. “I thought we were closer than that.”I drag myself upright against the pillows, searching the side table for my phone. No phone. Damn it. “I’
The Devil wears Red Lipstick CHAPTER 80: The Lost Son
Jacob’s POVThe whiskey burns going down, but it doesn’t numb the sound of her voice.Elenore.That woman.The recording loops in my head, every poisonous syllable carving deeper into the raw wound I’ve carried for years. I killed him.She didn’t say it outright, not with those words, but the implication dripped from her tongue like venom. My son. My Jaime.For years, I bore the guilt, wore it like a second skin. Believing he had taken his own life after Samantha’s death.Believing I had failed him as a father, that grief had drowned him, and I hadn’t been strong enough to keep him afloat. And Jude… oh, Jude.That boy lost both his parents before he could even grow into his name.But now? Now I know it wasn’t some tragic twist of fate.It wasn’t Jaime reaching for oblivion. It was murder. Cold, deliberate, and delivered by a woman I let into our lives like family.The rage is a physical thing.It shakes my hand until the glass slips, drops hard onto the table, and shatters into pieces
The Devil wears Red Lipstick Chapter 79: Reality check
Jude’s POVThe hallway is too bright, too white. I feel like the light is mocking me.I can’t get the image out of my head: Marion’s knees buckling, blood soaking through silk, her eyes rolling back while she clawed the air, desperate for breath. I swear I felt her slipping out of my hands.I pace the corridor like a caged animal. My lungs burn, my chest is tight, and my fists ache. It’s gnarly, the memory of her choking on blood, the sound of monitors screaming, the smell of iron and bleach. I feel useless. Helpless. Like I’m watching her drown and I can’t swim.My knuckles crack against the wall before I even think about it. Pain shoots through my hand, and for half a second it’s a relief.“That wall didn’t do anything to you.”Jordan appears out of nowhere, calm as if he hasn’t just watched the same horror show I did. He hands me a cup.I take it, swallow, almost spit it out. “What the hell is this?”“Tea,” he answers, deadpan. “You need to calm down.”I glare at him, then sigh. “T
The Devil wears Red Lipstick Chapter 79: Tick Tock
Marion’s POVJordan’s living room is too big, too bright. Sunlight pours through the glass walls, gilding the cream sofas and polished oak floors, but none of it warms me.I pace, barefoot, arms wrapped around myself, the morning light burning against my skull.Every word he threw at us is still circling my head, sharp as glass.Ivy, a fucking black widow.Nicholas, dead like Jaime.Elenore, her would-be partner… always lurking in the shadows.How deep does this run?If Ivy is in league with Elenore… could it mean that Elenore is still tied to Richard…? How big is this conspiracy?I stop in front of the window, pressing my palm against the glass.My head throbs with every heartbeat.Everest was right. I had no business chasing revenge.But if I don’t… what happens to Reid? What happens when Richard realizes Reid is the only one between him and the fortune he’s always craved?The thought cracks through me.I squeeze my eyes shut.No. I can’t stop. I won’t stop. Fuck all of them… they n
The Devil wears Red Lipstick Chapter 78 – Jokes and Terrifying news
Marion’s POVThe door swings open, and I almost choke on my sigh.“You,” I say flatly, folding my arms.“Why are you here this early in the morning?”Jordan’s smirk is infuriating. He leans against the frame, hands buried in his pockets like he owns the place.“Well, I’m not here for you. I’m here for Jude.”My annoyance flares. “So you didn’t find anything for me?”“Not yet. It’s been one day, Marion. I’m not a magician.”Before I can snap back, his voice rises, echoing down the hall. “Jude! Jude Creed!”From behind me, Jude’s voice, groggy and petulant: “Did you have to come interrupt our very blissful morning?”I turn just as Jude wanders out of the bedroom, my short black kimono draped haphazardly over his frame.The tie dangles loose at his hips, the neckline scandalously open. His hair is a glorious mess, his smile sleepy and boyish in a way that makes my chest ache.Jordan nearly doubles over laughing. “What the hell are you wearing?”Jude grins lazily. “You’re the one who barg
The Devil wears Red Lipstick Chapter 77 – The Life I Could Have Had.
Marion’s POVThe door gives way under my hand, and there he is. Jude. Standing there like sin dressed in boyish charm, his silly grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. My lips curl before I can stop them.“Well, that was fast,” I tell him, smiling as though heaven itself just cracked open above my doorway.His shoulders lift in a shrug, guilty and proud all at once.“Were you outside my door this whole time?” I arch a brow, letting suspicion lace my amusement.“Well… no,” he says, voice tilting into mischief. “But I was around. I wanted to see you. I couldn’t imagine yesterday being our last encounter.”That pulls laughter from me, warm and reluctant. I tug him inside before someone spots him lingering. “Won’t your fiancée be angry at you?”“What fiancée?” His answer is instant, reckless. His eyes glitter like he’s been waiting for me to ask. “Ivy’s deluded. I’m just playing along—just as you told me to.”I pat his chest in mock approval. “Oh, and you’re doing very well, Jude.”He
