Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE DEVIL'S DUE: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

LUCADarien luxe sort me out very early in the morning, as I predicted he would.It seemed his night with Bree went well because he didn't have on the scowl he usually wore.“Did you give any thought to my offer from last night?” He asked as we walked around the outer parts of the castle.“I thought you gave me seven days?”“Still–” he shrugged and I got the message.The seven days thing was just his way of ending the conversation when he wanted it to end.A large number of people considered Darien Luxe a very charming man. Knowing him more in depthly meant knowing he was the biggest narcissist.Maybe even more than me.“I failed to mention something earlier.”“And what's that?”“The girl has a mental problem.”He chortled dryly. “That's the excuse you came up with? If you're going to reject my offer, be a man and do it properly.”A bird flew past us before I could respond, and it made me think of Mia.Her wings were clipped but I knew she would envy the birds.One thing I knew for ce

The black escalades drove into the parking space of the private cemetery.Luca had bought this land specifically for the purpose of burying everyone in service to him that died. If the family approved of it of course.They all gathered around in their dark suits and black dresses to bury Bailey who had committed suicide.Gael, the driver who was shot, was not going to be buried on the ground because his parents requested his body to be cremated just like he wanted.Luca stood in his dark oversized coat and sunglasses, listening to the priest's sermon.“Death is not final. Not in the way we think it is. Death is sometimes rebirth into a plane that may even be more elevated than how it was when we were amongst the living.”He called bullshit on that. Death was final. It could be dressed up in as much philosophical bullshit as these so-called men of God chose to do, but it was final.“Are there any that have something, a testimony, a poem, maybe even a memory of our sister Bailey to shar

MIA I didn't expect him to stop and because I didn't, the fear I had locked in for so long wrapped around me in a tight grip.Much to my surprise, he not only stopped, but also stepped back to create a distance between us.I turned around, and saw he looked completely unaffected.He wasn't disheveled, or struggling with his breath.In fact, he didn't look like he had just almost pleasurably tortured me out of my panties.Anger like a hot iron sprung inside of me at his nonchalance.“What? Do you have something to say?” He lifted a brow, ever so casually.I wasn't sure I had mentioned just how much I hated him today, but God knew and my heart also knew I despised this man!A knock on the door, followed by shuffling footsteps had us both looking towards its direction.“It's Lena!”“Come in,” he said before I could invite her into my own room..I turned away from him, so he didn't see me seething..The sound of the door opening wasn't enough for me to turn around. Neither was Ms Bird ca

LUCAI was enjoying this whole game more than I thought I would.When she entered the bathroom, I thought surely my eyes were deceiving me.She wheezed past me as if I wasn't present, and jumped into the shower in front of me with her back turned to me.Her naked behind.I caught a glimpse before I came to my senses and turned away.Stepping back, I listened to her shower, whilst talking the most shit about me.I didn't know I evoked such strong emotions inside of her. It put me in a space between amusement, and curiosity.Then she had finished bathing, and actually almost slipped stepping out of the shower.I caught her and swiftly covered her body with a towel.However, it was nice, making her feel so heated at this moment.“You liked it. You want more,” I pushed as she went silent.“No,” she whispered softly. “I never would.”“Why? You're not a virgin anyway.”“No. But I can't–” she breathed out harshly.“You can't, what?” The amusement lifted off my eyes for a second.“My body re

Mia opened the door only to find Ms Bird cager right in front of her.She eyed her from her hand down to her toes.“What are you doing here?” She asked roughly and with disgust.Mia, defeated, opened the door widely and stepped aside.Ms Bird cager walked in but froze in her spot when she saw the boss and his immediate two subordinates.“Lena!” Luca called out her name.“Boss.” She bowed her head.“Take Mia to her room. Have you opened an account for her like I asked?”“Yes boss.”“Huh?” Mia thought. She has not received any new account details from her, so clearly she just said that to save face.“Great, then transfer ten thousand dollars to her from the housing management wallet.”Mia's head shot up and her eyes widened. Her impulses took the better of her, and before she could stop herself, she ran to him and hugged him right in front of everyone.Niko whistled at the audacity, but internally.Dimitri, not the one to hide his reactions, wheezed.Ms Bird cager looked like blood had
