Semua Bab The Devil's Fire: Bab 121 - Bab 130

DamianoI had taken Althaia out to eat after she complained about how she had a long day, not only training in the morning but also having an extra workout in fucking up Miciela, and she still hadn’t gotten anything to eat besides breakfast. After eating to her heart’s content, she fell asleep in the car as I drove us to the mansion at the vineyards to get some peace.I gazed at her sleeping form in the passenger seat, smiling when her lips were lightly parted and let out a faint snore. I found it too endearing, and it let me know she was having a good sleep.I carried her in my arms and went to the master bedroom. I tucked her into bed, caressing her cheek as I admired her, memorizing each of her features. It took everything in me not to lie next to her and hold her in my arms. Instead, I got up and made my way back to the car once again.I drove off once one of my men pulled up to make sure Althaia was going to sleep with no disturbance while I was gone. The mansion was a safe place

Althaia The following day I didn’t have to do my usual training, and I could spend extra quality time with Damiano. We went on a long walk around the vineyards, and I got to meet more people from the village. I had never gotten so many hugs and kisses from people before in my life, and they were all so happy to see me and Damiano together. It gave me another opportunity to see how Damiano interacted with his workers. It was much more different than how he interacted with his men, of course. He was being a bit more gentle with them, and I knew it was because this place was close to his heart. It really was a village for itself with its own charisma and lovely people. And just beyond the vineyards, there was even a market with sales stands to buy vegetables, fruits, bread, and whatnot since it was quite a bit of a distance to the nearest store. A colorful stand caught my eye, and I stepped closer to see what it was. It was a beautiful stand with varieties of dry fruits and nuts. The

Althaia Before the wedding ceremony, I walked around and made the last round of checks in the massive banquet hall. Everything looked like it belonged in a fairytale, and Cara deserved every single moment of it. The wedding was held in a gorgeous castle and the reception banquet was exquisitely decorated in all white. Even the floor was in a beautiful glossy white design. The ceiling was just as stunningly decorated with flowery chandeliers, and long white vine flowers were hanging down, almost creating a beautiful curtain of white flowers. This was her dream wedding, and I was so happy that she could finally have some happiness in her life with Lorenzo. I glanced around one more time, pleased with the work that had been done, and walked up the stairs and down the long hall in the direction of the master suite. I opened the door to the suite to check on Cara to see how much time she needed to finish getting ready. My eyes met hers in the mirror, and I let out a gasp in astonish

Damiano “Oh, darling, the ring is just beautiful!” My jaw clenched at the horrendous high-pitched voice. Every single time that woman opened her mouth, it felt like a bunch of knives was stabbing into my ears continuously. I was convinced Gataeno was partially deaf. It was impossible he heard that voice and decided to marry her. “Thank you, Morella.” Althaia gave a tight smile and I knew it was taking everything in her not to grimace. “Wonderful news, figlia! When’s the big day?” Gaetano smiled widely. “Oh, actually…” Althaia started and my hand squeezed her waist a little to warn her not to let it slip out. She quickly glanced at me before facing Gataeno again with a soft smile. “…We haven’t decided yet. Plenty of time to figure it out.” She told him instead. Gaetano nodded a few times. “Good, good. The sooner, the better.” He looked at me when he said that, not being discreet about his underlying message to me. “Congratulations again, darling.” Morella smiled big. “Enjoy the

Damiano I slowly started to gain consciousness when I heard faint voices around me. The burning sensation was still present, spreading all over my abdomen. I felt someone tapping my cheek and I opened my eyes. My sight was unfocused and I saw shadows above me, seeing their mouths move as they talked to me, but I couldn’t make out what they were saying. I tried to move but clenched my jaw and grunted out in pain instead. “I got you. You will be fine.” My sight finally focused when Antonio came into view, talking to me. “Althaia… I need to get to Althaia.” I felt hands trying to stop me from moving but I shoved them away, clenching my jaw hard as I pushed through the pain to get up. “We need to get you fixed first. You’ve lost a lot of blood.” Antonio prevented me from moving. “I… don’t care… She needs me.” I growled out and tried to push them away. “You can’t help her if you’re fucking dead!” He shouted in anger. “I have to get the bullet out of you. Bite down on this.” He put a
