Semua Bab THE DEVIL'S DUE: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Despite Luca telling Peach not to tell Mia anything about his call, she still took it upon herself to go in search of Mia.When she arrived at the sanctuary, the Angels had rounded up practice for the day, and were now hanging around, chatting.She opened the door, and everyone stopped to see who the intruder was.“Oh, it's the law,” Irina said in a teasing tone that made the rest of the girls burst out laughing.“Ha, ha, ha, very funny and mature.” Peach rolled her eyes hard as she walked over to the spot they were clustered together.“Hey, did you come to fetch me?” Mia asked her with a smile.She returned the smile. “Yes, pretty girl. We have important things to discuss. Also, I don't want you breathing the same sir with certain people for too long. Their skin contains natural toxins that would poison you if you inhale for too long around them.”“Oh you bitch!” Irina cried out in a high pitched voice.“Right back at you, bitch square,” she hooked her hand around Mia's wrist, and pu

MIAI forgot.The moment he was standing right in front of me, I completely forgot why I was mad at him.It was his damn face. So handsome it was downright beautiful.And the body? He towered over me, which made me have to look all the way up just to take a glance at his beautiful face.There were also the tattoos, and the fact every time he wore a shirt, the buttons were down enough to see the ink that trailed his neck.His scent couldn't be forgotten either. It was practically burned in my brain.I completely forgot what I was angry at him about.“You were not answering my calls or texts. Why?” He broke the silence.My focus was still stuck on how attractive he looked, I couldn't bring myself to give a swift response.“Did I do something wrong, Mia? I told you to let me know if you didn't want me leaving with Olivia. If I knew you were going to ignore me on my trip, I never would have left.”His lips kept moving, and I did hear what he was saying. However, my brain was trying to sep

LUCA I didn't go after Mia because it was clear she wanted to be alone.Instead, I walked towards my office room, my head feeling lighter than normal.There were no other souls along the hallway. Obviously, they had all hidden in their rooms.That thought for some weird reason made me smile. Until I remembered word could get back to Olivia soon.“Oh well,” I muttered, and shrugged nonchalantly.She had fucked her stepbrother one too many times. This couldn't be the thing to make her clutch her pearls.I arrived at my office, and went straight to work.The first call I made was to madam. She answered on the first ring.“I expected your call sooner.”“Had to clear my head first. Are you confirming that Pedro is indeed in the state?”“Didn't you receive my email?” She asked with a slight inflection in her tone.“Haven't checked. Checking now.”I clicked on the email, and a picture of Pedro captured at the airport spread all over the screen.Despite the black hoodie over his head, the sl

MIAMr Peacock pulled me up gently, and turned me around to stare at my reflection in the mirror.“What do you think?” He asked, taking a step back for me to bask in just me.I stared at my reflection, the dress, making my mouth open and unable to close.It was literally drop dead gorgeous.A light sea patterned blue fabric with crystals framing its ends, created the perfect Roman-goddess-esque dress.My hair he curled, and pinned in a half up do. Everything looked ethereal, making me teary eyed.“You're so beautiful, Mia. I just can't believe it,” he said.“You make me even more beautiful,” I dragged my eyes away from the mirror towards him. “Thank you.”“Oh come on, doll. You're my most special canvas. Don't forget that.”I hugged him, grateful he wasn't giving me the silent treatment like the others.“Are you ready for tonight?” He asked as we separated.“Yep, I am,” I replied confidently.“Alright. Peach said to bring you out through the staircase into the ballroom. The entire of

LUCAI left the ball briefly to answer a call, and when I returned, I saw Mr and Mrs Beaumont arriving at their table.Instead of walking straight to my table, I went to theirs.Mr Beaumont's face tightened when he saw me.He wasn't my biggest fan, since he considered me quite arrogant.That didn't deter me from taking the empty seat on their table.“I haven't heard from you, Mrs Beaumont, and I'm starting to get pissed.” I went straight to the point.She tried to twitch her eyes as a way of telling me to remember her husband was present, but I didn't give a fuck.I was in a mood. Mia had put me in that mood.How could she not know she wasn't supposed to let any other man that close to her? Anyway, because of her, everyone else was going to feel my anger.“What are you talking about, Luca?” Mr Beaumont asked.“I–”“Oh darling, you know how Luca is. Pay him no mind,” Mrs Beaumont said before I could respond.She had the nerve to look straight at me right after.“Fuck her!” I thought,
