Falling in love with the Devil’s son のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

ELENABack to PresentI stared at Atlas with my mouth hung open, shock and fury whiplashing through me as I began to put two and two together, and slowly, it came to me.Oh my God, he was really just like the rest of them, wasn’t he?How on earth have I been a fool all my life? Was that really what I was created to be? A fool, a naive girl that couldn’t think for herself for once, to see that she was being played. Being used.A test subject.“Let me ask you, and I need the truth from you.”He pinned me with his gaze, striking blue eyes telling me everything I needed to know before I even asked.But I still needed to ask… I had to give every benefit of doubt.“Did you know who I was back then?” My eyes burned into him steadily, as I didn’t want to miss even the tiniest bit of reaction. “Did you know I was married to your brother?”He still refused to speak, only leaning closer, the space suddenly too small for us both. His big form crowded me in, I could barely breathe.I needed to foc

ATLASWell, damn. That was fire.I lay in the midst of the tousled, soaked sheets, tangled up with Elena, whose face was flushed and hair attractively messy.She had a small smile playing on her lips, her eyes twinkling with the same bliss I was reveling in.“This was why you wanted a detour, isn’t it?” Her voice came out in a soft breath, fanning my chest.I shrugged, threading my fingers through her soft, blonde curls. “I guess it just happened.”She chuckled quietly, shaking her head, and in the silence that followed, my thoughts strayed.I really liked this..being here with her..sharing little, harmless jokes that let me enjoy the melody in the laughter that spilled from her sensuous lips..holding her in my arms..reveling in the heavy smell of our passion that hung in the air…But I was too overwhelmed by the past, too afraid to let myself feel these things deeply. I was too afraid of the aftermath, of the pain that would most likely follow.The last thing I wanted to do was hurt

ELENAAs soon as I got out of the car in front of Emily’s house, I thanked the driver and made my way to the front doors.I knew the passcode to her house, so I just let myself in.But Emily was already hurrying to the front door, golf club firmly gripped in her hands, just to make sure that it wasn’t a thief breaking into her house.She did a double take when she saw me, the golf club falling limply to her side. “Bitch,” she cursed under her breath, her eyes roaming my entire frame slowly. “You decide to come back the same way you left, huh? Creeping in and out..”My lips stretched in a wide smile as I dropped the bag to the floor and half-jogged all the way to her, throwing my arms around her in a bear hug.“Mm,” I shut my eyes as the familiar feeling of peace engulfed me completely, a citrusy scent filling my nostrils. “I missed you too, bitch.”She pried me away and observed me at arm’s length, a smile tugging on her lips where her eyes were deep-set. “There’s that glow,” she mumb

ELENAThis wasn’t exactly news to me, but I still struggled to believe my ears.Atlas was really getting married to this woman.But what did I expect?I mean, I’d always known that all those gasps of pleasure and looks of love meant nothing. But deep down, I’d hoped that maybe..just maybe..“Listen, Rhoda,” I watched as he reached across the desk and covered his large palm over hers, “I really don’t want us skipping moments, you know. Things like this aren’t meant to be rushed. If you ask me, a wedding’s sort of a big deal, and I’d like to make it special for you, if you let me.” He stared so deep in her eyes I felt my heart give way to sheer pain. “Don’t you want our wedding to be the talk of the town?”“Of course I want that, Atlas,” she whined, leaning in closer, “but this is really not about me. It’s my father on my neck..besides, you seem to be delaying on purpose. Is there something you’re not telling me?”Atlas stared at her for a heartbeat too long before he responded. “What?”

ATLASA fucking ambush, this was what the fuck this was. Yes, I was a man who stalked and had an unhinged persona with no sense of boundaries but I hated when these cards were flipped. “Come on, Atlas take a seat or are you too dumbfounded to sit,” Luke smirked with that crooked smile announcing his presence. I glanced around the room and they were all there. My father, my Asshole step brother, Gerald; Rhoda’s father and Rhoda. What the fuck were they all doing here? I thought I was supposed to just be having a casual dinner with Rhoda and her father.Right now this seems more like a meeting than a dinner. With three cautious strides and my eyes still glancing around the room I made my way to the table, there were already meals laid out on the table. Some crabs, cauliflower, cheese, turkey and some greenish stuff in front of my father which looked fucking disgusting. “You don't keep time lately son, that is not how I raised you,” my father remarked, leaning gently back adjustin
