All Chapters of The Devil you begged for: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

LORENZO~•~I showed her the videos. The important ones. I also explained everything that had happened that led to her seeking my help. She was still in shock. She couldn’t believe the fact that her mother was cheating on her father nor did she believe her mother could harm a fly. I didn’t blame her.She had been so shielded from the lifestyle that she didn’t know how horrible people in the mafia were. Unfortunately, that included her mother.She was stiff on my lap, her arms folded across her chest like she was forced to be here, but I knew Isla. She was very stubborn. If she didn’t want it, she wouldn’t do it. When I was certain I’d told her everything, I clicked on the last video. The one her father recorded for her.She froze when she saw her father’s face, glancing back at me to gauge my reaction for a split second before she turned back to the desktop. The video lasted less than a minute. She didn’t breathe for all of it.When the video finally ended, she twisted in her lap a

ISLA~•~Lorenzo walked beside me, his hand resting on the small of my back. I was more than tempted to shrug it off but I didn’t want to make a scene at the bank.The vault attendant’s fingers shook as he put the key in the vault and opened it. Since he saw Lorenzo, he’d been shaking. There were no visible weapons on either of us, but I guess Lorenzo’s aura was enough to make a grown man shake.I didn’t blame him. I was once scared of Lorenzo as well.Inside the vault was one metal box. It was the size of a palm. Well, it was bigger than mine, but the size of a palm nonetheless. Lorenzo brought it out. There were no markings anywhere, just a keyhole. I stared at the key that the attendant had used to open the vault. It was the size of the box keyhole as well.Lorenzo held out his hand. The attendant put the key on it wordlessly. No one said anything as Lorenzo slipped it into the inside pocket of his coat, right next to his heart. I hated that I noticed. I hated that I cared about w

ISLA~•~I woke up to the smell of antiseptic.The light was so bright that I had to blink several times to adjust to it, but when I did, I immediately took note of the pure white walls on all sides of me. Two women in white were around me but none of them were familiar faces.I was in a hospital.The clothes on my body had been replaced with a hospital gown but I could feel dried blood on me. It took a second for all the memories to hit me like a freight train. Lorenzo stole my flash. He showed me the content. I found the key. We went to the bank together and retrieved the last evidence. Nikolai intercepted us and all hell broke loose.I sat up so quickly that my head spun.“Where is he?” I asked, talking to no one in particular.A nurse approached me. “Ma’am, you need to–““Where is Lorenzo?” I didn’t let her finish. I didn’t need anything. I wasn’t harmed, but Lorenzo had taken two bullets, one suspiciously close to his heart. He might have been alive when help came but that didn’

ISLA~•~They moved Lorenzo out of the ICU the next morning.I hadn’t left his side for over thirty-six hours. I just couldn’t bear to. I only managed to eat when Lucia’s mother brought food for everyone. She was slowly starting to open up to us. To Lorenzo. She thought it was a small thing to do since Lorenzo and his men saved her life and her daughter’s.The new room was bigger, quieter with no more constant beeping.Lorenzo sat up, his back propped up with his pillows. The bandages were smaller and he looked almost normal again. Well, if normal meant your chest and arm being wrapped.He watched me walk in. “You look like you’ve been through hell.”I pursed my lips.He chuckled. “Come here.”I didn’t move.Lorenzo sighed. “Isla.”I walked a few steps and stopped at the edge of the bed. He tugged me down, making me sit beside him. His good hand found mine, intertwining his fingers with mine.It felt normal.We were silent for a while. It wasn't the usual awkward or tense silence tha

LORENZO~•~The box contained everything we already knew, just with a lot more evidence. There were contracts, stamped and signed. There was a petition to get rid of my parents and it was led by the man I grew up calling father. I’d thought heaven smiled at me when someone came to adopt me. Only for me to end up suspecting him because of things I overheard.There was another flash drive. This one mainly consisted of CCTV footage. Most of which were blurry since they were from years ago, but they were enough to prove that I wouldn’t be committing patricide by killing the fucking monster that called himself my father.I’d kill him, kill everyone else involved, the ones that were still alive at least, then release all the evidence I had.I waited until Isla had fallen asleep before I slipped out of bed.Downstairs, Ricardo, Greg, and Romano were in the living room, watching football. “Ricardo, Romano. My office.”I didn’t wait for either of their responses before I turned around to wal
