Lahat ng Kabanata ng Devil In Disguise: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

AngelicaMy skin felt hot and it had nothing to do with how long I’d danced. I looked up at Curtis who was as stunned as I was. “Would you believe me if I said that was an accident?” I averted my gaze from him. “Not a chance in hell.” He swiped a wisp of hair off my face and replaced it with his lips, shocking both of us.He pushed himself off the bed and straightened his suit jacket, but not before raking his eyes all over me like he wanted to devour me. “Get dressed. We are going out for lunch.” He ordered. What made him think he could tell me what to do? More importantly, “what’s wrong with what I’m wearing? It’s a beach city. Everyone is wearing shorts and crop tops.”He looked down at me. “The last thing I want is the whole city getting a front-row view of my wife’s tits spilling out of her top.” My retort was cut off when I looked down at myself and caught sight of my left boob nearly all the way out of my top. Oops. I shoved it back down, ignoring his shocked glare. In m

Fourteen years ago.“Angel!” My sister whimpered when I swiped the tiara off her head. She burst into the master bedroom where Papa had just finished dressing up. “Papa, Angel took my tiara!” I heard her cry just as I followed her in. Papa picked her up with a grin. “Why would you do that, Angel?” Because Lyra cried to Papa about everything. That, and because I didn't like being copied. Mama and Papa had let us chose whatever we wanted to wear for their vow-renewal ceremony today and the tiara was my idea…until Lyra decided she wanted one too. I loved my sister but I didn’t like her doing everything I did in the name of looking up to me.He put Lyra down and picked me up. “Don’t bully your sister, Angel.” He punctuated his words with a kiss to my forehead. “You are getting taller and heavier by the day. One day, I won’t be able to carry you up anymore.” “That’s not true. You are the strongest man in the world. You can even carry Mama up the stairs.” I countered and wrapped my arms

This honeymoon wasn’t going to be so bad after all. Something had changed between us. Angelica wasn’t so opposed to being close to me. It was almost amusing how little it took to make her change her mind about someone. She had decided to stay as far from me as she possibly could long before our wedding. If I knew bringing the surgery forward would change her impression of me so much, I would have done it ages ago. Or not. Her closeness was a double-edged sword. My dick wouldn’t go down for a damn second and my right wrist was starting to hurt. The culprit didn’t know what she was doing to me. Breaching the invisible boundary between us had made her forget she was getting dangerously close to a man. Like right now, she was clinging to me for dear life as she screamed about some fictional monster in the horror movie we were watching. “Is he coming?” She asked, her face pressed against my chest so hard I didn’t think she could breathe. She was sitting so close to me she might as well

I couldn’t believe I was supposed to be using these seduction tactics on Miles. Before I set the plan into motion, I didn’t feel a thing about it. Of course, there was nothing pleasant about seducing one of my enemies, but I was not disgusted by the thought either. But after meeting both Curtis and Miles in real life, my stomach churned at the mere thought of being in an enclosed room with Miles—even though I would have already gotten all the answers within three days. Besides, I wouldn’t have lost track of the plan. Curtis, on the other hand, was dangerous in more ways than his identity. He was tempting me nearly as much as I was tempting him. If it wasn’t so obvious before, I was now certain I wouldn’t be able to lure him and come out of it unscatched. But, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.“You never talk about yourself.” I remarked as I shifted in bed to ‘accidentally’ brush my thigh against Curtis. I only had two days left before we had to go back to Silverwood. This w

Angelica It wasn’t enough that I had lost my mind. Now I was losing my memory too! How could I forget when today was? As soon as I dumped my suitcase in my room, organization be damned, I grabbed my phone and made a beeline for the door. I met Curtis just as he exited the elevator. “I’m going to the hospital.” I explained before he could ask. I didn’t know if he even wanted to know. Whatever. He frowned, running his eyes over me. “Are you feeling unwell?” Since when did he care if I was unwell? “I’m going to see Nana.” I pushed past him, declining his offer to drive me. This was my last chance. Spider was right where I thought he would be, by Nana’s bedside reading her a book. Seeing her listening so silently, one would think she understood what Spider was reading to her. I knew she wasn’t understanding any single word of it. Spider was the first to see me. He acted like I didn’t exist, reading on and flipping onto the next page. Okay. Maybe it wasn’t going to be easy to end
