All Chapters of The Devil’s Obsession : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ALEJANDRO All eyes were fixed on me as they waited for my order. Silas turned to me and asked “what do you suggest we do, Don Alejandro?” I leaned into my reclined seat, my head searching for ideas. There was only one way out of this that wouldn’t incur violence of any kind, and that was releasing Scorpan on bail. Otherwise, it could get bloody and chaotic and I wasn't really in the mood for that. Knowing my men, the thoughts rallying through their head right now was probably infiltrating the police force and breaking Scorpan out at all cost. But I didn't want that. Not when I had a glorious wedding to plan. I took a deep breath and stood up. I walked to my glass facade that was behind my office desk. This part of my office was my favorite. I could see the city's landscape from up here. The bustling city, people trooping around like they had no care in the world, Children chattering, running and laughing. After basking in the city’s view for a while, I crossed my arms beh

LUCIAAs I watched Alejandro continue to ascend up the stairs gloriously, I couldn't help but wonder where it all went wrong. Everything happening to me now, was it before I disobeyed my father when I was fifteen by sneaking out of the house when he told me not to? Or was it because I changed majors without telling him weeks before I got into college?Either ways, I was fucked.Beads of sweat trickled down my already sweaty face as I processed what he just said to me.The wedding is in two weeks? No freaking way!Without thinking twice and about the consequences, my legs pulled me forward and I grabbed Alejandro by the wrists. I pulled him backwards, my sharp nails digging deep into his flesh.“Wh…what are you talking about? What do you mean the wedding has been shifted? How so?” I stammered as my eyes widened, almost flying out of their sockets.I shook my head as a dry laugh escaped my lips. “You’re joking right? There is no way the wedding between me and Carlos is happening withi

LUCIAI was fucked and I knew it. But I wasn’t going to admit it. Not now. Not ever.Not when I knew it was going to fuel his pride. Alejandro began to inch closer to me and it took everything in me not to fuse with the wall.“Sta…stay back” I stammered as my heart raced in fear. Tears formed in the corner of my eyes but I was not going to let them drop.Never. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction that he wanted.I may have not known how he found out about my plan but that wasn’t going to stop me from still trying to escape.“Stay back Alejandro. I’m serious” I said again, this time, my voice cold. “Why?” He grinned as he asked. “Do you think you have a chance of escaping even if I don't move?”I rolled my eyes “I don’t care. I’m getting out of here whether you like it or not”“I’d love to see you try Chiquita,” he chuckled. “Or did you think as the most powerful Don in Sicily, security wouldn’t be my top priority?”I chuckled and blew off a strand of my hair out of my fa

LUCIAI walked hastily behind Alejandro as he led me up to the first floor. I wondered whether we were going to his study room, but then he paused and took a turn to the other wing.My heart dropped. The other wing led to his room. We walked further until we got to his familiar door.Thoughts began to flow in my head. Thoughts about that day I saw him come out of his bathroom half naked, water slipping down his ripped body. Sweat trickled down my forehead as I gulped down a huge ball of saliva. Now wasn’t the best time to be having this thought.“Focus Lucia” I murmured to myself in husk breath.He pushed the door open and walked in. He left the door agape for me to follow through but I hesitated. I didn’t know what I was doing here and I was starting to have weird thoughts and ideas forming in my head. When he noticed that I wasn't behind him anymore, he turned around with furrowed brows.His hands were stuffed tightly in his pocket as he looked at me. “You’re not coming in?” He a

LUCIAI spent thirty more minutes outside before deciding to head back in.That was enough fresh air and sunlight for now. The sun had become hotter than normal and it was starting to literally burn my skin. After having my bath, I hadn't bothered to apply sunscreen because I didn't think I was going to be outside for a long time.And now I am regretting it.I hopped off the swing, lightly dusting my dress in the process. Apart from the sun making me want to go back inside, there was also another reason why I had to head back soon.I had to look into all my classes I had missed this past two weeks and also send an email to each of my lecturers stating reasons why I wouldn't be able to physically attend lectures for probably the rest of the semester.Sucks right? This was all that scoundrel’s fault but I was the one taking the fall. I pulled out my phone and unlocked it. The spy app vigorously stared at me and it took everything in me not to smash my phone angrily on the ground. My ha
