Semua Bab THE DEVIL'S OBSESSION : Bab 31 - Bab 40

[A few hours before the exposure]“I think we need to come up with a new design team leader. They aren’t functioning well,” Micheal said, his voice echoing through the speakers.Dante didn’t respond immediately. He clicked his tongue in irritation, scribbling something meaningless onto the paper in front of him—not because he was engaged, but because he needed to look busy. The truth was: he wasn’t even here.His mind had spiralled far away from this boardroom meeting.It was elsewhere.On her.Alessia.She was in his house.Sleeping in his bed.Breathing his air.And every second she remained under his roof, his control frayed a little more.The office he sat in was vast—dark wood, deep shadows, and shelves lined with unread books and luxury whisky bottles. A place designed for power and silence. It was his private domain. No one entered. No one disturbed. Until now.Until her.His phone vibrated, a soft buzz that pulled him back to reality. The screen flashed the name: SCORPION.He

You see, one thing about the word 'obsession' is that it's not really about the feelings or about the way you can't breathe without them by your side.... that would've been good if that was just about the word... but it's the dark side that comes along with it. It's the insecurities of them leaving you... of them getting tired of you, and when you see them with someone else, it just makes you... it makes you want to kill, want to cage them until all they see is you. And that has always been the case for Dante...The thought of Alessia not choosing him or wanting to be with him has always left him shattered. She was too pure. She was too sweet and soft for his kind of person, and that made his obsession worse. He craved attention from Alessia like a starving whore at every given point and when he sees her with someone else... it makes him thirst more for blood.If Alessia was in a relationship with him, she wouldn't dare lie to him; she wouldn't dare speak of another man in his pre

________________The greatest mistake she made, was the...date with Damon. That was one of the moment that change Alessia’s mindset forever... It was a day she was never going to forget no matter the memory loss..Infact any memories with Damon, was sure never going to be forgotten.[3 YEARS AGO] Alessia stood in front of the restaurant, breathing heavily as she looked around it for a moment. Entering that restaurant and knowing fully well that man was waiting for her was like a trap she was willing to enter. Maybe she should have just accepted to go to jail.Up till now... She didn't know why she chose this option because she knew this was dangerous. Going on a date with a man who she doesn't love, a man her father is forcing her to marry and even her cousin had advice her to rethink the offer.Matthew right now was angry. Although she had lied about it_that it was a date with someone else not Damon. But because he was busy with Caro so he had let her live, and right no

Only the foolish make deals with the devil.Only the ones drowning in pride… or pain.Because the devil doesn’t barter. He doesn’t wait at crossroads.He doesn’t ask for permission.He takes.He does not knock—he kicks down the door.He does not beg—he commands.He does not love—he consumes.He wraps his hunger in charm,his cruelty in confidence,his madness in tailored suits and cold, perfect smiles.And once you catch his eye, it’s already too late.Dante was that kind of devil.He didn’t walk into a room — he claimed it. The air shifted when he smirked, when his voice dipped low like velvet over a knife.And in that crowded hallway, with cameras clicking and gasps echoing off the walls, he made his vow—not to Alessia, not to the world, but to the man who thought he’d won.Damon.The golden boy. The fianće.The one who wore Alessia a ring but not her soul.And that was all Dante needed, to justify the war.He wants what is not his but is going to make sure she is his soon .He desi

It had been 24 hours since the disappearance of Mr and Mrs Rivera —Alessia’s father and Mother —yet there was still no sign of them.The police and search teams had been alerted immediately, but despite their efforts, they remained missing.Alessia sat slumped on the hospital bench, her cheeks stained with tears, her head resting on Caro’s shoulder as her friend gently stroked her hair in silence.Dante had left shortly after the chaos.And Damon … hadn’t said a single word.But Alessia could feel his fury radiating from across the room—the way his eyes drilled holes into her, cold and calculating. She knew she was in for hell with him.Then, the door creaked open.A doctor stepped inside.Everyone rose to their feet.“We’ve found your father and mother,” the doctor said calmly. “They were found outside the hospital.”---[HOSPITAL ROOM – MOMENTS LATER]“Dad!” Alessia cried, rushing toward him.Mr. Rivera sat in a wheelchair, looking exhausted and pale, but alive. While her mother wa
