All Chapters of THE DEVIL'S OBSESSION : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

[somewhere in ROME, 8:45 AM]As Alessia Rivera emerged from the lift, her heels made a gentle sound against the immaculate tiles of the Rivera's Enterprises building, and she gripped the edge of her notepad. Her anxieties begged her to maintain a calm expression and even breathing, but she was unable to do so."Are you okay?" her PA, Mike, asked beside her while glancing sideways."I will be," she replied with a half-smile. "It’s just a routine presentation," he whispered.Alessia grinned. "Routine? Except for the fact that we will be meeting the company’s new majority investor." "Just calm down already. You've got this like always. He whispered, and then she smiled."Well, thank you for motivating me, but just so you know, this is one of the newest yet biggest achievements, if earned, so I have to be nervous. I hope everything is set already." She said as she swallowed hard while she applied her lipstick to the lip. She'd heard the rumours about the shadowy figure buying up tech

[SOMEWHERE IN PARIS, 9:30 PM – THE SCOTT MANSION]"Miss Alessia."The guards and maids bowed slightly as she walked through the grand iron gates into the mansion.She gave them a tight smile, the kind you wear like a mask, and kept walking.Her heels echoed through the marble hallway, but it wasn’t the sound that made her tense up. It was the voices—the laughter—drifting from the dining room. Her stomach turned.She stepped in, and as if on cue, all eyes turned to her.Their laughter died, and their smiles faded.Their stares hit her like cold wind—icy, sharp, filled with disdain.Alessia swallowed hard but lifted her chin and walked in with forced grace. Her black coat draped over one arm, her dress hugging her frame in a way she regretted now. She nodded politely and took her seat at the long table, directly across from Damon’s mother.“You’re late,” Mrs Estelle Scott said coldly, as she cut into her steak.Alessia forced a smile. “I wasn’t aware I was expected for dinner.”“How wou

★★★★ Alessia came back home, pacing angrily all through the length of the bedroom, with her bare feet pressing into the cold marble floor; each step she took echoed with rising panic. The room was dimly lit, draped in muted tones of beige and grey alongside elegant curtains that were swaying slightly from the soft breeze slipping in through a half-open window. A chandelier hung above at the middle, casting scattered golden reflections across the walls of the room. But with its luxury, the room felt like a cage tonight.Her heart was racing and thundering in her chest at the same time, as images of her earlier encounter with Dante flashed behind her eyes. She still felt his touch on her skin, the way he fingered her and the words he spoke to her.In frustration, she raked both hands through her hair, pulling at the strands. Please let this be a dream, she thought desperately—but deep down, she somehow wanted it. That was the part that scared her most.The door creaked open, and Kater

[ Moretti Mansion ]“You still want her?” Matteo’s voice broke the silence, rough around the edges, as if he already knew the answer but hoped he was wrong.Dante didn’t answer. He stood near the tall glass window of his study. The city spread beneath him like a glittering battlefield. One hand rested in his pocket; the other balanced a half-burnt cigarette between his fingers. He took a long drag from his cigarette, but his jaw was relaxed. His silence said more than words could ever.Cigarettes were his other obsession.It appears that Dante had already made up his mind before his friends gathered in his mansion to try to convince him. All he wants is to have Alessia back in his arms.For him, it is difficult to be soft for someone, weak for someone, whipped for someone, and willing to kneel for someone. She broke him, even though he never thought it could be possible.Daisy sat on the edge of the leather couch, legs crossed, sharp eyes fixed on him. Matteo leaned back, arms folded,

Author povPeople are tragically, gloriously mistaken to think that humans are the highest form of life and the only beings that live on our planet. But they forget to acknowledge the fact that there are devils in the form of humans living with us.The first night Alessia Rivera met Dante Moretti, she should have known he was trouble.The kind of man who looked like sin dressed in a tailored suit. The kind of man mothers warned their daughters about.But she hadn’t listened. Maybe she couldn’t.Now his name is branded on her heart,his shadow stitched into her soul.All she wanted was salvation with a little satisfaction—one that won’t ruin her, but the devil doesn’t crave salvation.He craves possession.****FLASHBACK***** If not for her parents, she wouldn't even be in this mess.
