All Chapters of The Devil you begged for: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

LORENZO~•~By the time we arrived at the DeLuca estate, the entire compound was in chaos. Gunfire echoed from inside. I could see flames from the side of the house, the scent of gasoline hitting my nose.I didn’t give Ricardo time to park properly before I jumped out of the car, gun in hand.On a regular day, I would wait to assess the situation and plan properly but I was too worried not to dive headfirst into the chaos. The gate was already open. Romano’s squad was everywhere, dragging bodies away from the burning house while some tried to put out the fire. Did Romano stabilize everything already?Then again, he had mobilized every single man that answered to him. He was efficient, proving fit to be my second in command, but I knew it was something else. He was always quick whenever it came to Lucia.I caught sight of Romano barking orders to one of the men, both their shirts stained in blood.“Romano!”He turned at the sound of my voice. “Boss,” he jogged up to me, reporting the s

LORENZO~•~Isla, who was meant to be comforting, fell asleep on me.I didn’t know how long I stayed there, holding her, memorizing the way her body fit perfectly against mine. Her body was warm against mine and her breathing was heavy but even.Carefully, I shifted, letting her head fall against my chest. She mumbled something I didn’t catch but held me even tighter. When I carried her upstairs, she barely moved. I pushed the door open with my foot and laid her on the bed gently, not wanting to wake her up.For a moment, I just stood there, staring at her. She looked so peaceful as if she hadn’t fallen asleep on the man who claimed to kill her family. She was quite reckless but I wouldn’t say it didn’t work to my advantage. It had started with wanting to mess with her, then I became attracted to her and couldn’t sleep with anyone else. Now, I was starting to care about her. I didn’t reject my feelings. After all, Isla had been mine for a long time. Maybe it was high time she was pro

Chapter 96ISLA~•~Lorenzo finally left to go see his father in the evening. The house felt quieter after he did. And after so many days of resting, I was tired of both my bed and his. I found myself wandering around the house until I got to the backyard where I saw Lucia by the pool.I took a few more steps, wanting to go meet her, but came to a pause when I saw Romano sitting on a sunbed, staring at her.Hearing my footsteps, he looked up at me.“I didn’t mean to intrude,” I said sheepishly.“It’s fine, you’re not intruding,” he said as he stood up. “I’ve got work to do anyway.”Before I could say anything, he brushed past me, disappearing inside the house. Why did he seem so guilty?I stared at the doorframe for a while even though he was long gone before returning my face to Lucia’s back. Was something going on between them?Shrugging it off, I walked closer to the pool and sat beside Lucia.I smiled at her when she glanced at me. “How are you holding up?”She sighed. “Honestly,

ISLA~•~I was scared to check the drive. My father had given the music box to me some time ago and it seemed like the flash drive had been placed there intentionally. Did my father put it there? Was it for me to find out? Surely, not every music box had this kind of mechanism right? The one that opened after every ten plays? I tried it again, counting the number of times the tune played before it clicked open. It only stayed open for ten seconds before it covered itself again.It looked like it had been custom-made to hide information.But what did the drive contain? And why was it with me?I hesitated for a long while before I finally turned on my laptop and inserted the drive. A second later, a lot of folders popped up. There were pictures, videos, recordings, financial ledgers, and communications logs. I didn’t even know where the hell to start from.I tapped on a random picture and saw that it was a picture of Lorenzo’s father and some other man whom I didn’t recognize. I frown

LORENZO~•~I slammed the door behind me with more force than necessary. I didn’t even know why I was mad or who I was mad at.Maybe I was mad at Isla for wanting to hide something so important from me. Maybe I was mad at myself because I realized that was exactly what I’d been doing to her since we met.Ricardo was leaning against his room door, hands folded across his chest like he’d been waiting for me. “You look like shit.” I slid the drive into my pocket. “I feel it too.”He arched a brow. “Problems with your little houseguest?”My teeth gritted at the question. When was it not a problem with Isla?“What did you do to her this time? Why did she chase you out?”I stared at him for a while, debating whether or not to tell him. Then I recalled that we’d been searching for the truth together. We’d been to hell and back together. There was no reason to keep it away from him even for a second.“Come with me to my office.”Ricardo paused, then groaned. “I’ll just pretend I didn’t see
