บททั้งหมดของ The Devil I Kissed : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

“Rules.” I asked when we settled inside the car, we were heading to the party and I had no idea why. If he wanted to protect me; why take me out of the house, why take me to a place filled with so many individuals. “Rules, if you listen to them, you stay alive, and I will reward you, if you don’t, you will die.” Dominic said, bluntly, he spoke about death like it was nothing. “I will listen.” I whispered, this may be my on my chance to get my phone. “Rule one, you are never to speak to anyone, to even the waiter, Rule two, you are mine, you don’t dance or smile at anyone, rule three, those people there, they are not good so you are never to go anywhere alone not even the bathroom.” “It’s a mafia party.” I said, and he didn’t speak, his silence has confirmed all my suspicions. “Why take me there, Dominic, if it’s not safe; why do I have to be there.” “It’s important.” Dominic said. I am going to play his game, as long as I will figure out the truth, this man knows a lo

I like your hair better like this, you are beautiful enough to have powerful men on their knees.” Dominic said when I walked down the stairs, I was starting to embrace my natural hair. It looked even better than I thought it would and the dress he got for me was even more beautiful, though he forced me to have this dinner with him, I enjoyed the way I got to dress up; maybe this would be a good opportunity to tell him about the wedding. “You look okay.” I said and he smirked. “You are drooling all on the floor.” Dominic whispered, and I placed my hand on my lips. I think the remaining of my dignity is gathered on the floor. He held my hand softly as he led me out of the house and into the car, it didn’t take much before we got there. A rooftop dinner was all I needed, this whole week has been crazy. “Why are we having a dinner, Dominic.” “Because we need to eat.” He stated, I had no idea he could be sarcastic, it was almost weird hearing him be that. “Why are

Dominic’s POV….. “Please, I didn’t mean to do it, my wife was being endangered and I had to protect her.” He cried and I shake my head, the image of Aurora crying filled my head and I felt my hand tightened against the gun. “You betrayed me.” I said calmly, my mind clouded with rage and anger but I didn’t let it get to me, I can’t let it get to me, I knew I needed to be calm, I would burn the world if I was not. “You would do the same for anyone you love, for anyone you care about.” Sam whispered, he was not remorseful, he didn’t beg for forgiveness, instead he begged me to not hurt his wife when I am done with it. I leaned in toward him, my heart aching with that thought he he I looked into his eyes. “You don’t betray the monster, saving your wife is an excuse for hat you have done, your priority is your leader and not this.” I gritted calmly through my teeth. “You would do anything for the girl upstairs, you are nothing but a hypocrite and-“ he didn’t get to finish

Aurora’s POV… “Stay with me.” I exhaled when he was about to leave, I can’t do this alone. Last night he earned my respect; he was right, I will regret if we had done anything, he didn’t take advantage of my weakness and feelings, instead he came back with a blanket and had someone make me food. Maybe Dominic Ricci is not as horrible as everyone says he is. “Candice.” I gasped when I looked at the coffin, Beside her was Blake's casket, and beside it was a baby coffin, for their baby, it's empty. I looked back at Dominic, who stared at me with a look I had never seen in his eyes. “I know you don’t blame me for what happened and I know you will never maybe that’s one of the greatest things about you, you are more forgiving than any human I have ever met, maybe this was all his plan, for you and Blake to have a home in heaven, a forever home where you love and care for each other, you didn’t deserve this to happen to you, you didn’t deserve to get hurt and ruined, we both d

“What are your parents like?” I whispered and he stared at me. I woke up to being in his arms, welcoming and warm, yet it got interrupted by a call, his mom to be precise, asking him to come home right now and bring me with him. Not only that, but I had good hearing, and Dominic hadn’t said a word since then. “Horrible.” He breathed out, he looked away from me as he typed aggressively on his phone, his fingers gripping on to the screen, it was almost as if he would break it, when I moved close to him and I placed my hand on his. “I can stay, I won’t run away, you can go alone.” “I can’t let you stay alone, not even with the guards especially after everything that has happened, you are coming with, and we are going to get this horrible breakfast over with.” He stated. “Take a shower and I will get some clothes for you.” He said and I nodded. “Why do they want to meet me?” I breathed out. “They want to know the woman I killed for.” He said bluntly, and my breath hitches.
