TO LURE THE DEVIL

MIA The strangely kind woman left me alone with this weird looking guy who I assumed was also related to Passion.Could he be the one I was chatting with then?It still greatly confused me. So much so, I had a little bit of a headache.“So you're Mia,” he finally said, after staring at me for almost two minutes.As if having to deal with not being able to eat, and throwing up at the slightest intake of food wasn't enough. Now I had to deal with these menacing eyes that looked at me like I had stolen something from them.“I am. And you're?”“That doesn't matter,” he brushed me off brusquely.“Oh,” I muttered under my breath.This one, I had to be careful with him. He didn't seem like the kind to joke around.Even though life was too short to take things so seriously, it wasn't the time to project that philosophy.“Do you know why you're here?”“Do you want a sincere answer?” I replied, and then bit my lips regretfully.So quickly, I had forgotten I was in no place to be snarky. It was

LOVER FOR LOVER

Rhys took his sweet time coming down the flight of stairs from the roof.With his hand firmly tucked into his pockets, and his chest puffed out like he owned the world, he crossed over the last step.“To what do I owe this surprise appearance?" He asked, coming to a stop just before Luca.“Where is she?” Luca shot straight to the point.“There are many she's, Diavolo. You kinda have to be a little more specific.” He gestured with his finger.“Yeah, because I'm right here. Why are you asking for another woman?” Olivia butted in.Luca pretended not to hear a word from her, his eyes focused on Rhys.“For the second time, where is she?” He asked again, maintaining a calm tone despite the heat rising inside of him.“And for the second time, I'll need you to specify who you're talking about,” Rhys replied arrogantly, whilst maintaining eye contact with him.Luca swung fist first before he could hold himself back.His right hook caught the nose of Rhys, splitting it open the instant it conne

COVETOUS

The castle was in chaos when Luca drove in.Peach had returned, but before she could relay her findings, Dimitri and Niko, who were back too, stopped her.They knew what was happening, and were waiting for the devil to return.Although they had contemplated going after him despite him telling them to stay back, ultimately, they had chosen to do his bidding.If the boss thought there was any real danger to him, he would have gone with backup.It showed how truly little he rated his oppositions, because not even a hundred of them with guns ablazing were enough to scare him.They were all outside waiting, when the car rolled to a stop, and Luca dragged Olivia out of the car with him.“Why are you dragging me this way when I already told you that I'll willingly come with you?” She whined.The evening breeze blew her hair, causing it to cover her face.She was parting it just as Ava ran through the front doors.“Where is Mia?!” She stopped in front of Luca, panting and crying all at once.

CONNECTIONS

MIAI laid upside down on the bed, with my head facing the ceiling.My thoughts conjured up things that were possibly happening at the moment in the castle.Did they know now that I was missing? If they did, what would their reactions be?Ava I know was very emotional. She would beat herself up for not being able to protect me, and cry her heart out.My own heart squeezed at that image playing in my head.She was so fragile, I didn't want her worrying too much about me for fear that would affect her health.Maybe Peach would help comfort her. Yes, Peach was emotionally strong.Sure she could at times be a bit erratic, but she knew when it was time to lock in.Still, if there was any reason at all I wanted to leave this place, it was for the sake of my sister, and her health.“And Luca.”My breath caught, as my heart skipped a beat.I could see his face now. That coldness that clouded it when he was in a ruthless state.Would he be in a ruthless state knowing I was missing? Considering

STOP SIGN

“What else do you remember?” Luca asked, as he typed some things into the computer.“She said she was going to meet up with the brother of the dead woman at a restaurant. Shopping for me was the excuse she used.”“Hmmm,” Luca paused, then nodded his head. “Continue.”By the time Ava was done telling him everything she remembered, he immediately had a working theory.Someone knocked on the door, and then opened it.“Boss,” Dimitri walked in holding a brand-new phone. “Here you go. Everything has been set.”“Thank you, Dimitri.”The moment he accepted the phone, it started to ring.“Where the fuck have you kept your phone all this while I've been trying to reach you?!” Madam yelled the second he answered the phone.“Good thing you're able to reach me now, because I need your birds. Especially the ones with the sky as their main focus.”“Wait a second, before you go too far. Did everything I heard happen today, actually happen?”“Yep, everything you heard happened. Now back to what I nee

THE UNTOUCHABLE

“Drive to the bayou at Southsun,” agent Santos instructed Luca.He gave her the side eye, but didn't say anything in protest.Although his plans had been derailed, he decided to just see whatever this was to the end.“Where were you even headed with such speed? You really do think you're bigger than the laws, don't you?” She questioned, trying to strike small conversations.Luca didn't care enough to converse with her, so he just kept his eyes on the road, and completely ignored her.She smiled when she realized he was shutting her off. “You must think I'm really a big pest. You don't like me much, do you? I could have sworn the first time we met, you thought I was cool. Maybe because you thought I would be an ally. Hate to bring you bad news, but I'm an agent. I can't–”His hand reached for the dashboard, and he quickly turned the music all the way up.The sound instantly drowned her voice, causing agent Santos to chuckle.“Yeah, he hates me,” she muttered to herself, and turned to t

TRIPLE THREAT

MIAI woke up with a start. The moment my eyes flew open, my stomach churned.I jumped out of bed, and bolted to the bathroom where I fell to my knees, and began to puke into the toilet bowl.It wasn't until I had emptied my stomach, the pain finally subsided.Falling back, my palm covered my face, as I broke into tiny sobs.This whole puking business was killing me slowly. I couldn't take it anymore.When I ingested the liquid herb, I thought that since I didn't react immediately to it, it meant that it worked.Why then was I waking up this morning, puking my heart out?I cried and cried, until my head began to hurt.Only then did I drag myself from the floor, and began to clean up.There was nothing in the closet to change into when I eventually left the bathroom, so I just remained in the rob. It was more comfortable anyway.The door opened as I sat down to resume staring at the wall, since there was nothing else to do in this empty room.“So that's her,” a new voice said, and I

BUN O BUN

MIAIn my darkest hour, when I thought I would be bulldozed by the powerful force of the raging bull, came a shining light.Camilla!She began to blast out in Italian, and with every phrase I didn't understand that flew out of her lips, Carlo's glare diminished.Soon, he was nothing but a tiny, sulking ant.No one could tell me anything different at that moment. Camilla was simply a miracle worker!“Sì Mama,” he said, and walked out of the room.Now I didn't know Italian that well, but sì definitely meant yes.I could kiss the ground Camilla walked on in that moment.She was my Goddess at that very moment. My saviour in every which way.“Are you okay, ragazza?” She shifted her gaze to me.The pillow I was holding dropped out of my hand, and I breathed out in relief. “I'm fine now.”She nodded once, and walked out of the room, leaving me alone with Pedro.“Uhmm, what exactly was it you were talking about earlier? You're transferring me elsewhere?” I found my voice.“Yes I am,” he repli

THE DOTS THAT CONNECTS

LUCA A whole day without sleeping was the easy part. The hard part was going through the process whilst not knowing what was happening to Mia.If those bastards hurt her. If they laid even a single finger on her, I couldn't even begin to imagine what I'd do to them.Everybody I placed on the look out was saying the same thing.All of the footage we got, including the ones from the restaurant, reported the same message.Whatever manipulation had gone on, ensured that all trace of Mia vanished the moment she walked into that restaurant.Whilst the guys were out this morning trying to cover different grounds, I was waiting for Pedro's call.Madam had sent me his number last night. I called, and it was disconnected.But she said she sent him a message, and there was a possibility he would contact me.Every moment, my eyes darted towards both phone and telephone, just waiting to hear one ring.The wait was killing me. I should have let the boys do the waiting, while I was out there, joini

NEARSCAPE

MIAI was able to keep down breakfast, and for that, I was truly grateful to Camilla.After I was done eating, I tried to see if I could take away the tray myself.It was secretly a way for me to test the possibility of an escape.But as I turned the door knob, the door did not budge.With a sigh of defeat, I turned around with the tray clutched to my hand, and returned back to the bed. I plopped on the bed, and let out a sigh. The feeling of loneliness was slowly creeping up on me again.“Help me,” I whispered to no one in particular.Help wasn't sure to come, but a girl could try, right?My body grew weary from the burden in my heart, and I laid down to rest a little.The little rest I aimed for, turned into a quick nap.It was a while later my body jolted up on feeling some dark energy hovering around.My eyes flew open, and I sat up, just to find a pair of eyes staring at me.“Oh God!” I clutched pearls, my breath sharpening.“No, it's just me. It's me, Emilio,” he said, and thre
