DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter One
AMELIA’S 8: 00PM“Get out, we don’t ever want to see you in this company again,” My boss said icily, as the security escorted me out of the company. My mind couldn’t process what was happening, as I stared at my stuffs that were littered on the floor in disbelief. “Your services are no longer needed Amelia,” He said in a still, yet cold voice. “Why? What did I do wrong?” I managed to ask as soon as I got my voice, tears threatening to fall from my eyes. He just ignored me, and walked back into the company. I stared at his retreating figure and felt tears drop from my eyes. I crouched down to pick my things, packing them all into my handbag—before taking a final glance at the company. “What could have gone wrong in just five minutes?” I wondered deeply as my eyes stung badly. To be honest, I didn’t know why I was sacked from my job. I had just excused myself to get an Americano in a cafeteria down the street, just for me to come back to this. I walked back home, as my vision

AMELIA’S POVA week later:It’s been exactly a week since I lost my job… and the unfortunate encounter I had on my way back, and it was safe to say that I was still more than a little paranoid.I couldn’t go around without watching my shoulders as everywhere I went, I felt like I was being watched. I had tried to hide in the shadows, to hide and to wallow in self pity until today. I combed out my hair, humming a song under my breath as I prepped myself for a job interview. After I lost my previous one…I took another look at myself at the mirror, and a small smile crept on my lips. I was pretty. I was cladded in a sleek black corporate gown, which was tailored fitly. The dress was above my knees and It had a little embroidery on the Neckline. The sleeves were also long and fitted.I sighed slightly, as I packed my hair in a bun. I took out time to admire myself in the mirror, and I must say— I was captivated by my own beauty….After gazing at myself in the mirror, I knew it was time

Amelia’s POV. I widened my eyes, staring at him in shock as I found it difficult to believe it. “Follow me,” He said to no one in particular as he turned around and waltzed out of the office. I glanced at them in confusion until the young man that had just entered silently urged me to go and that was when the realization dawned upon me. I followed him till he entered a room I guessed to be his office, and to my surprise —it was larger than any office I had come across. He turned and locked eyes with me, sending chills to my body. “Look who we have here,” He said softly, yet huskily. “Good morning,” I greeted, and bowed slightly but he came towards me and made me stand upright. “You came for the job,” He asked, as he turned his back on me. “Yes sir,” “You’re hired,” He said and turned with the most charming smile I had ever seen as he stretched forth his hand for a handshake. Wait, what?!I couldn’t believe my ears as I stared at him like he had suddenly developed two heads.

Amelia’s POV. “What’s wrong Luca?” I questioned softly because I still didn’t know what had gotten over him. “Amelia,” He called coldly and seriously that I had no option but to stare up at him. “You’ll resign from there!” He said what I least expected, and I narrowed my eyes at him. I waited patiently, hoping he’d take his words back. “You cannot work there. I’ve told you that you can come to work in my company and I’ll pay you well,” Luca said, and I shook my head slowly. “I told you that I didn’t want to work with you because there would be preferential treatment. In as much as I need money urgently, Luca, I won’t work where my skills wouldn’t be appreciated,” I stated the facts for the umpteenth time because Luca chose not to understand a single thing. “Preferential treatment my foot! Amelia your skills would be appreciated,” Luca said angrily, and I wondered why he got worked up over nothing. “Luca, please calm down. People are watching,” Mia suggested in a hushed voice, a

ALESSANDRO’S POV. Her face depicted shock, but I wasn’t moved. I wanted her to be around me, so I could pay more attention to her and ensure her safety. She has slowly become my priority. “Is anything the matter?” I inquired, staring deeply into brown eyes. She sighed deeply and shook her head. She strode to her desk without any other word. Even though I knew that it wouldn’t be safe for me to discuss certain things again in my office because of her presence, I still went ahead to bring her here. I didn’t know why, but all I knew was that I wanted her around me. I shrugged and went back to my seat, hoping she’d at least say something but she didn’t. She began typing frantically on the computer, and from the look of things, I figured out that she was already working. I shrugged and decided to continue what I was working on. We worked for quite some time, and after a while of not hearing her talk, I decided to break the tense atmosphere. “Hey, you done?” I said aloud, so she

AMELIA'S POV.I got him feeling a bit lost and annoyed at how things had turned out today. I wasn't happy and that was because I wasn't sure if my reaction was the right thing earlier. When I was still busy thinking and questioning my fate, I got a call from Mia as usual. “Hey Babe.” She sounded excited, more like she was excited to hear about how my day went. After all, it was my first time. “Hey,” I replied with less energy. “What happened? Why that tone? Did something happen?” “I think I might be on a one-way ticket to losing my newly found job.” I went ahead and explained what exactly had happened to her as I cuddled next to my pillow. “Wow,” Mia responded after a while and I heard a crunchy sound…it wasn't that hard to guess that she was eating something. “Maybe you need to learn how to tone it down a little now, Amelia. That was terrible. One thing I know and that everyone knows about your boss is that he is strict and very mysterious. You need money

AMELIA'S POV I prepared myself for what seemed to have been the verdict that I had given myself before anything could even happen. I was standing right in front of his door, fidgeting instead of actually knocking. After staying for a few minutes, I raised my shaky hand and tapped lightly on the door. “Come in.” He ordered and I gulped before slowly pushing the door open. He was seated in a calm manner, his pen drastically dancing away on the sheet of paper that he duly concentrated on. Standing next to him was his assistant whom I didn't know his name yet. “Good morning, sir.” My greeting came out more like a squeak. At first, he paid me no attention and that increased my anxiety.Is he perhaps still mad at me? I mean who wouldn't be? I disrespected him yesterday. I stood for what seemed to have been minutes already yet none of the men was addressing me. I was on my heels for goodness sake. Even though the heels were not supposed to cause me pain, my situation actually mad

AMELIA'S POV.Just within two minutes, the dinner was already set for both of us and I was sitting opposite him, my back against the transparent wall. I would have sincerely loved to sit opposite so I could see the lights of the city. I nervously watched as Mr Alessandro went through the menu skillfully — almost like he had nothing to lose. Well, he didn't. He passed the menu to me afterwards and I blinked at him cluelessly. “Choose any that you prefer.” He instructed and I lowered my eyes after muttering a thank you. My eyes almost popped right out of their sockets. Two thousand dollars? For what? A single meal? I tried looking for any meal that was less expensive but none was less than two thousand dollars. “Just choose one, Amelia.” He interrupted my thoughts with a drowsy voice and I pointed my finger at just anyone. After the waiter left, I shifted closer to my boss to express my surprise. I would have really appreciated it if he had given me cash instead. “These

CHAPTER 23THIRD PERSON'S POV "Good morning, Amelia." The young lady replied to her greetings before Amelia entered the elevator that took her to the floor where her office was. She was dressed beautifully today. Well, she just wanted to...it was good for the body. After stepping out of the elevator, she noticed that Bonny was yet to come so she just headed to her office instead. Alessandro was also not around and she was significantly the only person on the floor. After settling down into her seat, she went through the questionnaire given to her by Mike the other day. She had filled in a lot of answers as honestly and truthfully as she could. Mike's sister could use it. When answering these questions, Amelia felt so sober. It was as if she was answering shadow questions in her journal like she used to. It made her open up more of herself and feel like she was communicating with someone instead. Her phone dinged, alerting her of a message. She glanced at it and saw that it was
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 22
CHAPTER 22.THIRD PERSON'S POV.Immediately after Alessandro heard the masculine voice on the other side asking his woman out, he suddenly froze. He had this unsettling feeling right within him and he was almost shaking from anger. He paused in writing and didn't meet Amelia's wandering eyes who seemed to have noticed the change in atmosphere. Alessandro's eyes grew darker within a second and he was holding tightly to his pen. The realization that he might not have been possessive of this woman the way he wanted was killing him.On a date? Who had the audacity? "Uhm, Luca, this is too sudden but let me call you back, okay? I am still at work, or better, I can reply to you through a text message." "You can't turn down this offer, Amelia. You have been turning down my previous offers."Amelia just wanted to get off the phone quickly because she got uncomfortable for reasons best known...to the universe. "Alright, let's talk later."Alessandro's brows furrowed. Did she ju
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 21
AMELIA'S POV I arrived at the location where I was supposed to have a meeting with the man named Mayama. The instructions that Mr Alessandro had given me were ringing in my head constantly but because the meeting place wasn't a bad one. It was in public and it wasn't an area that would cover anything bad happening to me. By the time I got there, Mayama had not arrived so I took the time to go through all my points that I was going to give out to Mayama as an excuse as to why Mr Alessandro wouldn't be able to make it. A few minutes later, Mayama arrived with his men, all dressed in black suits. He had his black walking stick to match his outfit, and he looked so grumpy. Maybe that was simply the structure of his face, I concluded. I was able to recognize him because I had seen his picture before. I stood up to notify him of my presence as it seemed like he was looking for me. "Ah, you are here. I wasn't expecting you to come before. It seems like you are taking your work as

CHAPTER 20.ALESSANDRO'S POVHer cries...her whimpersThey woke me up in the middle of the night. I opened my eyes only to see her shaking a bit on the bed while holding the blanket tightly. I got worried and moved her closer to me. It was hard maintaining the physical boundary with her ever since I lay on the bed next to her. I was super happy and I had to bless the universe when the rain started pouring heavily. The thought of having her next to me was making me crazy. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. I tried my best to remain sane when I really wanted to devour her. I wanted to kiss those fleshy soft lips of hers and claim her as mine with my bites and touch. When she walked out of the bathroom earlier, I almost went insane. How could I let such a gorgeous angel go? When the thought of someone else being with her before me kind of made me angry but the past was the past. She was mine now and would be no one else's. I had time... enough time and I was going to make it work for b
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 19
AMELIA'S POV"Mr...Mr Alessandro...what are you doing?" I asked him and continued moving back until my back hit the wall and I was pinned in between his arms. I sucked my breath in for a few seconds as my imagination ran wild. What was he planning to do? That thing was happening again...the feelings I got when he moved closer to me. His scent was messing with my mind, and I gulped as I could still see his well-toned chest from his half-buttoned shirt. He brought his face closer to mine, and I closed my eyes anxiously, but then the next thing was feeling his breath on my ear instead, causing my tummy to flutter as if I had butterflies in them. "Stop overthinking, Amelia."He took a step back and moved the other way to where his closet was. A few seconds later. He came back and handed a white robe over to me. "I can see that you feel uncomfortable in the shirt I gave you so maybe this will work a bit...more like if it will protect you. I know that you are nervous about the two
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 18
AMELIA'S POV.The thunder rumbled for what seemed to be the fourth time in a row. I was leaning by the window side, still inside Mr Alessandro's bedroom. I would have preferred taking a walk around the mansion, more like sightseeing but I wasn't in the mood to. My emotions were currently in pieces now and I could hardly think correctly. I expected the rain to stop an hour after it started but to my surprise, for the next three hours, it kept raining heavily. Maybe I wouldn't be able to go home like Mr Alessandro said. Speaking of him, I hadn't seen him since he left hours ago. I guessed he had his business to attend to. A few minutes later, the door opened and he entered with a large tray filled with different meals. I was stunned and walked up to assist him. "Mr Alessandro... where did you..." "It seems like the rain isn't going to stop any moment soon and you must be hungry..."Yes, I was. "So, I had my butler come tonight to prepare the meal. I am a bad cook, and
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 17
AMELIA'S POV.I watched him leave hurriedly with his right-hand man while I tried to come up with a recipe for him. He said I should prepare whatever I deem fit, right? So, I decided to go for something simple. Something that wouldn't put me into trouble or embarrass me. Immediately I turned on the burner, there was thunder from outside and that caused me to frown. I moved closer to the window and pulled the curtains aside. "Oh, it is about to rain?" I mumbled. Maybe if I was fast with preparing the dinner, I could get home before it started. Then I returned to the burner but then turned it off. I wasn't sure if Mr. Alessandro had an allergy or if there was a spice that he didn't like eating, and I figured out it was important that I should know, so I went to look for him. I wasn't sure which path he took because this was a huge mansion, but somehow, I was able to find my way after taking a corner. Something else made me stop halfway with a frown. Mike and Mr. Alessandro were
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 16
ALESSANDRO'S POVI was more than excited to have her here with me in my mansion. I had dreamed of this day that I would bring her. I wanted to flaunt my possessions indirectly and I was glad that I got the reaction that I needed off her. Her surprised face every time she saw something unexpected got my soul dancing. I entered the kitchen after changing my clothes. I watched her for a few seconds before deciding to speak so she wouldn't think that I was crazy or being weird. "Settling in?” I asked with a smirk..She stood straight while still holding onto the refrigerator. “Yes, sir. Just… getting a feel for everything.” "Good.I trust you’ll make something… memorable.”I saw her flinched a bit, her eyes darted towards the refrigerator briefly and then they landed on me again. She didn't respond so I pushed my body up from the leaning position that I had placed it at. "Aren't you prepared for tonight, Amelia? Do you need some time?" "Uhm...not really...but kind
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 15
AMELIA'S POV CHAPTER 15. I sighed in exhaustion as I flipped the pages of the document, ensuring that there were no mistakes in my arrangement. When I was done with that, I put the document down, pushing it to the side as I focused on my screen instead. I was busy all through the day, fixing Mr Alessandro's schedules and meetings. This man was fully packed! "How does he even manage to get the needed rest if this is how he works every time?" I couldn't help but ask myself in bafflement. Mike had given me an access to what he called CLIENTS' DIAGRAM and I spent a few days going through them thoroughly. If there was one thing that I had learned in the course of my work as Mr Alessandro's secretary, it was that he was going to rely heavily on me for updates regarding these people so it was my duty to ensure that I presented full details about them whenever required. I did notice that these clients were older men and they all seemed to be doing almost the same job with the title "
