PUZZLING

LUCAMy meeting with the chief of staff at the velvet hotel ended on a positive note, and we parted ways.I was about to leave when from the corner of my eyes, I saw someone who looked very familiar.They turned at the same time, and our eyes met.Rhys smiled, as he walked my way.“It's a rare sight to see the devil out of his castle,” he said, stopping in front of me.“It is indeed.”“I heard the chief of staff would be in this hotel tonight. Is he the one you came to see? Perhaps you need his help getting rid of Agent Santos?”In my innermost part, I was surprisingly impressed by Rhys.It seemed his dumbness had only been there because he was under the shadow of Darien Luxe.Now he was actually thinking. A very rare sight that had me really impressed.“What if I did?”He smiled. “Careful now devil. The walls have ears.”“And I have daggers. Do you know what daggers do to ears?”The smile disappeared from his face, and miraculously appeared on mine.“Anyway, have you given any thoug

A BROKEN CONFRONTATION

LUCAI let the bullet sing as soon as I dropped out of the car.By the time it was on its final verse, the entire car containing the bastards that shot first, had turned into one big pool of blood.My phone began to ring, as my other guards that were in the other car following from behind, dealt with the aftermath.“You've not lost your touch I see,” Draco said as soon as I answered.“Of course. It's only your boys that could be such ammature fools.”He laughed. “Come on, Luca. This was just a little test. Something to keep you active. It seems like you needed it. I should actually get at least a thank you from you.”“When I come to collect, remember you drew blood first.” I ended the call, and tossed the phone to the ground.Still unsatisfied despite the perfect tune my gun had created, I stomped on the phone until it shattered into pieces.“Hmm, much better,” I muttered, jumping into the car.Niko and Dimitri were waiting for me outside immediately I arrived at the castle..They wer

HEADSTRONG

MIAI didn't care that Ava had been awakened by the drama.The moment I returned to the room, I went straight to the bathroom, locked myself in there, and burst into tears.My memory kept replaying Lucas' broken hearted face as he asked me to be truthful to him.I had almost revealed everything. I wanted to so badly, but something kept stopping me.Call it intuition, or maybe just plain old stupidity, but I couldn't. I just couldn't.As I laid in a ball inside of the bathtub, I bawled my eyes out. So hard, my chest began to burn.Not even that dried my tears. It just worsened everything.Worse because the casualty was dead. A permanent state that couldn't be rectified, or healed.Although my initial plan was to have the conversation with Passion's brother on a Saturday, which was technically the next day, I couldn't take one more day of this pain anymore.When I eventually picked myself up enough to leave the bathroom, I ignored Ava who was still awake, waiting for me, and grabbed my

A WILL A WAY

MIAI saw the same huge billboard that I saw online when I searched out the restaurant I was going to be meeting up with Passion's brother, and my heart began to pound.My fingers twisted, intertwining with itself, as a way to keep it from shaking too hard.Minutes- I was just minutes away from getting all the answers I needed. Then I could talk to the devil, and find out what he had to say for himself.Only if he still even wanted to speak to me anymore.“Should I park over there, ma'am?” The driver pointed at the parking lot of the shopping complex.“Sure,” I replied.He parked, and came down in a hurry to open the door for me.“Thank you.” I forced a smile even though deep down, I would have preferred he remained in the car.“I'll be right outside waiting for you,” he said, and my stomach tightened.“No please. I don't know how long I'll be in there, and from the look of things, the sun will be getting more intense soon. Just wait inside. I'll tap on the windows when I'm done.”“I

CAUGHT BY THE WEB

MIAAll hell broke loose when I returned to my table, and saw that both my purse and phone were nowhere to be found.I turned to report to the attendant, only to see a man who I recognized straight away from the colour of his eyes, holding onto both.“I knew it! I knew it was you. I told you I know her,” he said to the initial attendant that had brought me to my table.“Ma'am, do you know this man?” “Y-yes I do. But, why are you here, Damien Draco, right?”“Oh I was meeting up with a mentor here when I spotted you hurrying away. I held on to this for you. Just because the enlightened dines in places like this, doesn't mean you can trust anyone, okay?”My heart still wasn't at rest, but as I saw from the corner of my eyes that I finally had neighbours, I didn't want to draw too much attention my way.“Okay.”Both attendants left, and Damien sat with me.“Here, have them back,” he said, stretching both purse and phone to me.“Thanks I guess,” I muttered, unsure.He just smiled with his

WHERE IS MIA?

The sun began to climb, and with every step, the temperature harshened.Peach, recalling that Ava couldn't be caught under a scorching sun, unfortunately had to put a stop to the fun she was clearly having with Lala who was teaching her how to bake.She was still whining even as they arrived at the door of Mia's room.“I promise I'll bring you out again when the son isn't so hot, okay?” Peach tried to placate her.“You really promise?”Peach offered her a big, wide smile that showed all her teeth, and then nodded reassuringly.After, when it looked like Ava was finally being agreeable, she opened the door for them to go in.“Where is Mia?” Ava asked the second they stepped in, and weren't overwhelmed with the presence of her sister.“Maybe she's in the bathroom?” As Peach answered, she walked towards the bathroom with her ear stretched to see if she could hear any sounds. “That's odd.” She paused just by the door.“She's not in there?”“I don't think so. She could be at the sanctuary

DARK DEEDS

Jake, the driver, checked his wristwatch to see how much time had passed since Mia went into the shopping mall.His eyes widened when he saw about forty five minutes had passed already.He began to imagine what she possibly could be buying that took that long.But then her warning voice telling him to remain in the car because she could spend a long time in there, returned to his head.The only problem was that, how long was a long time?He wanted to know so he could calculate if he should really wait in the car, or remain standing outside.In the middle of his contemplation, his phone began to ring.He answered quickly when he saw it was someone he knew.The call became so engrossing, he found himself moving further and further away from the car, just to engage the colleague he was speaking to.Less than three minutes into the call, he heard an engine rev that made him turn sharply.His eyes widened when he saw the car he had driven to the mall, being driven away.Quickly, he ended t

THE DEVIL'S PUNISHMENT

LUCAThese lord gatherings bored me to death.If it wasn't for madam, I would never show up for any, anymore.They were too repetitive, hammering on irrelevant shit all the time.Halfway into this fuckass meeting, Damien Draco walked in whistling.The speaker paused as everyone turned to him.“Oh hello everyone,” he said with a stupid big grin on his face, as he took a seat.“You're late, Draco,” Don Marco said to him.“I know. I'll pay the fine, alright? So let's just continue.”The smile never left his face, which made me believe he was definitely up to something sinister.“Diavolo?” Don Marco turned to me.I lifted a brow, because I was honestly not in the mood to speak unnecessarily.“We were just talking about how we need to take these meetings more seriously because they're the one thing that keeps the peace between all regions and families. Keeping that in mind, what would be your verdict in the case of this one who is only just coming in halfway towards the end of the meeting?

AN ENRAGED DEVIL

Luca drove like a mad man to the hospital Niko had sent him details about.He had barely parked when he jumped out of the car, and ran straight into the building.“Where is she?” He was asking no one in particular, and everyone at the same time.Niko, who had just stepped out of the doctor's office, spotted him, and hurried over.“Boss.”“Where is she, Niko?” He turned around and grabbed him by the collar immediately. “Where the fuck is Mia?”The grip on him was so tight, he struggled to speak.“Boss, he can't talk when–” Dimitri was saying when Luca shot him a look that made him shut the fuck up immediately.But eventually, Luca let go. “Where is she?” he questioned in a more rational tone.Niko, who had no time to even catch the breath that had been temporarily taken from him, began to explain.“Could we step out?” He asked, seeing more people glancing their way.Luca noticed too, and rather impatiently, stormed out of the hospital.They all gathered around his car, to listen to wha

WAR

“Do it then. Fucking shoot me, and you'll never find her. Come on, do it!” Draco roared, regaining control of his emotions.Luca’s fingers trembled on the trigger, as he fought the urge to fire or not fire at him.“You won't do it?” He resumed walking, crossing the last step. “Isn't it what you've always wanted to do? So fucking do it, you bloody coward! The devil?” He laughed mockingly. “The devil my ass. You're just a chicken in the disguise of a wolf. You're a chicken, Luca! A fucking wet chicken!” He stopped in front of him, his entire body vibrating like waves on troubled water.“Where is she, Draco?” Luca found his voice, but his words came out in an emotional whisper. “Lower your gun then, coward. If you're not going to shoot, lower your gun. Then maybe we can talk about this.”Luca held his gaze, their glares clashing like cracking flames.They hated each other with a burning passion. They also in a way, mirrored each other.But Luca, knowing if he fumbled this moment, his ed
