DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 98
Chapter 98Amelia stared at Vincent, her brows furrowing at his sudden request."May I also request that Alessandro not be aware of this?"The words hung in the air like an unspoken warning. Amelia’s chest tightened.“Huh?” she blurted out, her confusion evident.She then shook her head, showing that she didn't get it. "What is that supposed to mean?"Vincent’s sharp gaze didn’t waver. Instead, he exhaled, as if he had anticipated her reaction. “It’s important,” he said, lowering his voice. “You have to understand, Alessandro knowing this will only complicate things. Right now, Luca is vulnerable, and we don’t need any interference.”Amelia crossed her arms. “Interference?” she repeated, her tone laced with suspicion. “Why would Alessandro care about this? Why should I even hide it from him?”Vincent tilted his head, scrutinizing her before he finally sighed. “I know who you are, Amelia.”Amelia’s heart skipped a beat.Vincent continued, his voice calm but firm. “I know you and A

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

CHAPTER 97Amelia’s eyes widened.“Are you out of your mind?” she whispered.Alessandro tilted his head, "What do you mean?" "Did you even listen to what you just said?" "Yes, I said we should go back quickly and get your things away from Luca's apartment."Amelia stared at Alessandro in disbelief, his words ringing in her ears."Did you just say that?" Her voice was sharp, edged with shock and frustration.Alessandro exhaled, running a hand through his dark hair, the gesture betraying his growing irritation. "Yes, I did. Why are you pretending not to understand?" "I am not pretending not to understand. I actually find it surprising that you seem like you can't read the room at all. Luca just had an accident..." "So what? Come on, Amelia. You know that Luca is not your responsibility, Amelia. He never was. You should come with me and let the hospital staff do their job. He has his father here with him, right?"Amelia scoffed, her arms crossing over her chest. "Are you e
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 96
CHAPTER 96The waiting room was suffocating. The silence, thick with unspoken words, felt heavier than the sterile air filling the hospital corridors. Amelia shifted in her seat, fingers clenching the hem of her sweater as she counted the seconds, the minutes.She wasn’t sure how much time had passed when one of Vincent’s bodyguards approached him, whispering something urgent into his ear.Vincent’s expression darkened instantly.“What did you just say?” His voice, calm yet deadly, sent a ripple of tension through the room.The bodyguard hesitated before repeating, “Sir, Miss Isabelle is in a dangerous place.”Amelia stiffened. Isabelle?Vincent's hand curled into a fist. For the first time since arriving, there was a crack in his composure. His lips pressed into a hard line, the kind of expression a man wore right before issuing a death sentence.“She is in danger? And you all are still here?! Where exactly?” His voice was sharper now.“She was caught in an altercation, but I got the

CHAPTER 95.Amelia rushed out of the cab after managing to pay the driver. Her face was flushed and she was finding it hard to breathe stably. She tried calling Mia on her way down to the hospital to give her the news but she wasn't answering. But regardless she knew that she needed to be there for him. The hospital was a battlefield of urgency. Why at this moment though? It was almost as if it was the end of the world and people were trying to run around for survival kits. "Did all bad incidents for the month happen today?" She couldn't help but wonder as she kind of sorted her way. Amelia pushed her way through the crowded hallways, her breath coming in short gasps. The air smelled of antiseptic, blood, and something metallic—fear, maybe. Nurses and doctors rushed in all directions, pushing gurneys with bloodied patients, calling out for supplies, and barking orders.She tried speaking to a nurse in scrubs, who barely spared her a glance before disappearing behind a set of

CHAPTER 94Amelia had barely woken up when her phone buzzed beside her on the bed. Still groggy, she grabbed it, squinting at the caller ID. Alessandro.Her fingers brushed through her eyes before answering. "Hello?” "Amelia.” Alessandro’s voice was urgent, his tone leaving no room for pleasantries. “You need to leave today.”Amelia sat up, her heart skipping a beat. “What? Why? You didn't tell me that there would be a change of plan.” "I am sorry. That was my fault. I also wasn't expecting the sudden change. Mike will come and pick you up by 6 pm today. I’ve arranged a place for you—somewhere safe. No one will find you there.”She swallowed, the sudden shift unsettling her. “Why now? What’s going on?”Alessandro exhaled sharply. “Things are escalating. I can’t risk you being here when it all comes crashing down.”The seriousness in his voice made her stomach tighten. Whatever was happening, it wasn’t good. "You're making me scared, Alessandro." "I am sorry." "So,

CHAPTER 93Luca stepped into his father’s study, his every move controlled and calculated. He had spent years perfecting the art of keeping his emotions in check, but the moment he locked eyes with Vincent, the anger simmering beneath his skin threatened to rise. "Can we get to the root of the issue?" "That's rude. Not even a good morning?" Vincent chuckled dryly but Luca was having none of it. "Morning — because there is nothing good about the morning," Luca answered and Vincent nodded, agreeing with what his son had said. Vincent leaned back in his chair, the very image of ease, a smirk tugging at his lips. “You are right. There is nothing good about the morning. Regardless, to me, you’re eager. It's not as if you are going to be this eager to agree with my wishes; if that had been the case, I wouldn't have minded,” he noted, tilting his head slightly. “I expected you to at least have breakfast before storming into my study.”Luca’s jaw clenched. “I’m not here for pl

CHAPTER 92Amelia’s fingers trembled as they curled around the doorknob. Her heart pounded so loudly in her chest that she was sure whoever stood outside could hear it. A lump formed in her throat as she hesitated, her mind racing with the worst possibilities. What if it was them? What if it was the enemy finally catching her off guard? Luca wasn't around and this was probably the best time for her to get attacked. She knew it would be foolish of her to suddenly open this door. But regardless, the knocks kept coming. She took a deep breath, inhaling deeply to steady herself, and forced her shaky hand to turn the knob.The door creaked open slowly.Amelia’s breath hitched.Then—“Boo!”A loud, playful voice startled her, making her take an involuntary step back and screaming in response. But before she could react, the familiar face of Mia beamed at her, holding up a brown paper bag filled with what smelled like warm food. "Oh my God,” Amelia exhaled sharply, pressing a hand to h
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 91
CHAPTER 91Luca leaned against the edge of the desk, his arms crossed over his chest as he studied Amelia’s expression. It had been a few days since Alessandro's sudden visit and he believed that this even made her more scared to want to go out. However, he didn't like her staying at home all through the day, doing nothing. And also, he didn't want her to get alarmed that he was receiving too many unnecessary guests. He knew she was stubborn—always had been—but he needed her to trust him, especially now."Look, listen to me, Amelia; you don’t have to stay in this house all the time, Amelia,” he said, his tone firm yet gentle. “I meant it when I said you should work for me. My company has a place for you. Moreover, it's a perfect fit for you in case you're scared of Alessandro coming back to hurt you or something. Or if you prefer, just name any company you’d like to work at, and I’ll make it happen.”Amelia sat on the couch, gripping the hem of her blouse between her fingers. Luca’s
DEADLY DEVOTION: KISS ME, KILL ME AND KISS ME AGAIN Chapter 90
CHAPTER 90 Luca’s gentle insistence had caught Amelia off guard that morning. As they sat in the quiet corner of his sitting room, he leaned forward, earnest eyes fixed on her. “Amelia,” he said softly, “I think you should come to work for me at my company. At least for a while. I can promise you more stability and a place where you’re truly safe.”Amelia looked at him, her mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts. “I—I appreciate that Luca,” she stammered, “but… isn’t it too soon to make such a change?”Luca’s expression softened as he reached out and took her hand in his. “I’m not asking you to abandon everything, Amelia. I just want you to have an option—a safe place where you can breathe. I know what Alessandro has done to you… and I can’t stand the thought of you hurting anymore. This will also be a way for you to get your mind off him and be independent." Before she could respond further, the conversation was abruptly interrupted by the sound of heavy knocks on the d
