Semua Bab THE DEVIL'S DUE: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Luca burst into Olivia's room and found her tossing some clothes into her bag.“What the fuck do you think you're doing?”She paused, and turned around to face him with a heaving chest.“I came to find you at the ball to tell you my father is travelling tonight, and asked me to stop by so we could have an important discussion before he leaves. But of course, you were in your mistress' room.”He ignored her jab, and focused on the bigger message.“I thought you said you didn't feel too well? It's freaking midnight, and you're just going to leave because your father called? Do you understand you're married now?”“Really?” She grabbed her phone forcefully from the bed and stretched it to him. “Call my father. Tell him I won't be heeding his invite because you don't want me to. Go on.”Luca was going to do it, but he paused just before he could make an impulsive, and reckless decision.“Fine. You want to run to your father, run along. But just so you know, this is a precedent.” He turned

MIAI arrived at the sanctuary, and as usual, the girls stopped what they were doing when they saw me.“What is she doing here?” Grace, the redhead with a look that could turn someone with low self esteem to stone, questioned.I didn't allow her obvious disdain for me stop me from my goal.Ignoring the condescending look on their faces, I took center stage, ensuring everyone saw me.“Yeah, yeah, I guess I'm a bitch in everyone's eyes,” I went straight to the point. “A whore too, right?”“Husband thief!” One said at the top of her voice.“Love destroyer!” Another added.“Vow breaking hoochie!” The names kept pouring out, some even managing to amuse more than annoy me, due to how creative they were.“Okay, okay. I think the point has been made.” They went quiet, and returned to staring at me as if I was shit.“I shouldn't have to explain my personal life to anyone. It's none of your business if we're keeping it real. But you all are clearly nosy, so let me be open to you,” I paused, l

“Wait, before you start, is this okay?” Mia asked.“Is what okay?” Lucas' forehead furrowed.“You in my room again. Olivia won't come barging in right?”“Oh, it's fine. She's at her father's.”Although it was supposed to be settling to hear, Mia didn't feel relieved.“Please don't tell me she left because of me. I thought I was pretty convincing when I told her our relationship is one-sided.”He scowled, and leaned in, so he was staring directly into her eyes.“Is it one-sided?”“Shouldn't I be asking you that? I remember saying I felt things you didn't return. So is it one sided, Mr Luca Barone?”He chuckled, whilst bobbing his head. “Smart ass. Anyway, she didn't leave because of that. She'll be back tonight, I guess.”“Alright. That's comforting.”Luca pressed a kiss on her lips, before pulling away.He returned to massaging her feet, as he prepared to begin.“That feels really good.”“I'm a magician,” he bragged.She giggled, but then paused and rolled her eyes. “Cocky devil,” she

“Mia, why are you being this way? What have I ever done other than try to get you to see Luca is not the man you think he is?” Lev questioned, in a tone that was filled with self-righteous frustration.“Oh please,” she rolled her eyes so hard, she felt dizzy for a second there. “You are only trying to position yourself as a better man in hopes I will start feeling what I don't feel for you. Well guess what? It's simply not going to work. I love the fuck out of Luca, and when next I see him, I'll tell him you keep harassing me. Now get the fuck out of my dressing room, you creep!”Lev's heart shattered into pieces, and it reflected in the vibration of his body.“You don't mean that,” he said with a broken voice.“Oh I mean it with every fiber of my being. Because you've become this dishonest person that I don't recognise. You should have told me the real truth, if you were going to let me in on a secret. Not keep parts of the truth to yourself, and then dress the rest in a way that mak

“Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me!” The girl covered her ears, and buried her face to the ground as she cried profusely.“Oh darling,” Luca crossed over Darien's writhing body, and walked over to her. “We're not going to hurt you. We're not monsters okay?”She slowly looked up, and nodded her head. “Ok-ay.” Her voice broke.Luca smiled, turned around, and returned to Darien.Crouching so he was levelled with the man who was now bleeding from his nose, he tapped him.“Get away from me!” Darien groaned.“Oh don't be that way. We haven't even started. Dimitri, come over. I think he'll want to talk now. But remember, you have to be careful how you say what you say. Dimitri has been itching for your blood.”“Go to hell you bastards!” Darien thundered through his pain, but then it hit hard, causing him to wince in retreat. “I'm already the God of hell, Darien. Get creative!” He guffawed at the top of his voice, as he moved away to give Dimitri the space he needed.Dimitri crouche
