Devil In Disguise Charm (1)
Curtis I didn’t want to bring Angelica to my meetings. She was not part of my world. I didn’t want to involve her in anything to do with Inferno or Arciero Industries and I had only brought her along because I couldn’t be certain of her safety if she was not on my side. Giancarlo strongly suspected he was being followed and I knew whoever was targeting him would pick me next. Giancarlo and I had always been each other’s strongest support system. If either of us was targeted, the other would be next. Angelica, on the other hand, was a liability. It was not unheard of for people to use wives and children as weapons against their enemies. It was even less pleasant when Arciero Industries’ partners insisted on meeting her. I would have blown them off but no one believed I was truly married. Putting aside the fact they had not heard anything about her, I was a bachelor merely a month ago. The only way to prove I had a wife was to bring her over for them to meet her. She wasn’t pleased
Devil In Disguise Charm (2)
This was nothing like the day we met when she was trying to convince me to give her a second chance to work at Inferno. She was timid back then, trying not to come off as too obnoxious. Not this time. This time she was bringing out all her moves and tricks like she was on a mission. She locked her gaze on mine as she gyrated her hips her hands slowly caressing her skin. She tugged the hem of her crop top and pulled it all the way off her body in one long seductive move. Then she pulled her hair out of the bun atop her head and let it tumble down her body in soft, black waves. If I thought her bra from the night before was the most seductive she could ever wear, I was wrong. Today’s choice was more modest but the sight of the black material contrasting her creamy boobs was the most erotic thing I had ever seen. My cock was straining against my pants and she hadn’t laid a finger on me. She flipped her hair to her back and sashayed her way to me, stopping merely a few feet away. She h
Devil In Disguise The will
AngelicaI knew this was a bad idea. Curtis was scrutinizing the divorce papers with way too much caution. I spoke up before he could start asking questions. “I added some alimony for me. Do you mind?”He flipped the pages and got to the clause about our alimony arrangement, which made him dart his gaze back to me in displeasure. “Half a million? Do you think marrying me is worth that little?”I didn’t. I had calculated the best amount that would make it seem like I didn’t care about his money and the clause about alimony was merely a way to keep Maverick out of our business. Even though it wouldn’t matter how soon we divorced after Curtis met the requirements to inherit his grandfather’s estate, we couldn’t put it past Maverick to sue us for fraud if he thought our divorce was too convenient to be true.But all of this was a decoy. I was not being thoughtful and covering all the bases. I was keeping Curtis’s attention glued to the divorce papers so he wouldn’t remember what he reall
Devil In Disguise Traitor
“What happened last night? My head feels like shit.” I pressed my fingers against my temples and squinted. At least that part was true. I had never gotten used to The Viper’s extra special treats. They always left me feeling like my brain had been passed through a mincer.Curtis poured a glass of water and brought it to me, then poured himself one as well. “I’m going to get us painkillers. Do you need anything else while I’m out?”I shook my head. At least he had torn his attention off the divorce papers. When he left the room, I slumped back on the couch and once again let the stupid thoughts get to me.If I told Curtis the truth now and he invalidated the will, would The Viper still kill him?Would it fly if I offered to be the one to end his life and then stalled incessantly by letting my plans fail every time?A thought crossed my mind. If The Viper was confident I would be able to pull it off, he might go after Curtis now that he had left the room on his own. For the first time,
Devil In Disguise Lyra Giannelli
Eloise Dalton For years, I had a recurring dream. It wouldn’t always be the exact same one. Sometimes I would be kidnapped, sometimes I would be stuck in a burning building or I’d be drowning. Most of the time, I would be trapped in a tiny room of a place I had assumed for years must be some kind of temple or cathedral. It always felt eerily realistic with the walls crumbling around me and explosions blasting in the distance. Every time, no matter what form my dream took, an older boy would pick me up and save me, and then he would tell me to wait for him—then I’d wake up. My therapist thought I must have experienced something traumatic as a child which I was yet to heal from, and it would explain why all these dreams had the same ending. I almost believed her until I realized every time in my dream, the boy would call me Hyacinth. Familiar as it sounded, that was not my name. I was pretty certain my name was Lyra even though my foster parents had preferred to pretend I didn’t kno
Devil In Disguise Rise of the Giannellis
Curtis Giancarlo was back in Silverwood but I was lucky to get hold of him before he tried to make a run for it. He was packing his bags when I showed up at his apartment and as expected, he looked like he wanted to bolt away. “Curtis, there you are. I was about to come find you.” He forced a laugh. That was bullshit. He was trying to make a run for it. “Going somewhere?” I eyed his suitcase. “You will never believe it. Samantha asked me out.” He sat down when he realized that didn’t explain the bag. “I’m taking her out for a three day vacation in Ospitan Islands. You shouldn’t have a problem with that because you just came back from your own vacation.” That wasn’t what I was surprised about. “Samantha asked you out?” “Of course she did. Have you met me? I’m every woman’s dream.” He exaggerated, but he was having a hard time believing it himself. Samantha had never explicitly told him off but she had always ignored him. Yet out of the blue, she had asked him out? “You were righ
Devil In Disguise Rare present
Angelica "Did you have a good time on your vacation?" Klara asked. We had met up for another session. Once again, I had chosen a time when Curtis was too busy to think about where I was and what I was doing. "It was great. More than great, actually. I haven't had so much fun in my life." I admitted. For the first time, I was telling her the truth. For years, I always felt a part of me was missing. For the first time, I hadn't felt that emptiness for an entire day. I thought back to the time we spent at the arcade on our last night in Arcron. We played all sorts of games including a racing game I thought would be too childish. It was unbelievable how much fun we ended up having. Curtis won every time, except the one time he knocked his racing car against the rail and couldn't catch up with me before I won. That was his cue to propose an actual race. We were not at all prepared, being in a different city, but we could improvise. We stole bikes from a restaurant's parking lot and ra
Devil In Disguise Suspicion
Curtis “What do you mean Meghan’s ring finger was cut off?” I asked as soon as I arrived at Inferno. Heston was waiting for me in my office. He placed a picture on my desk. Although I already knew the murder would be a gruesome sight, I still couldn’t get over it. Heston had taken a picture of her ring finger. The remaining part still had her diamond ring on it. “How did you get this?” I asked. Something wasn’t right. “She was found in the poker ring.” He explained. I didn’t immediately register what he was talking about. “Right here in Inferno?” I didn’t need his answer. Fuck. This was calculated. The target wasn’t Meghan. It was me. She had merely lost her life to serve as an accessory to an attack against me. Everyone knew how stiff my relationship with her was. It was nothing like with Klara. While Klara and I seemed to hate each other to the core, I would take a bullet for her without second thought and so would she. Meghan, on the other hand, might as well be my enem

Devil In Disguise Pregnant
Angelica"What is it like being a mother?"Klara paused with a spoon of chocolate ice cream halfway towards her mouth. I only realized how odd my question was when I saw how she was looking at me. I dug into my ice cream and shoveled a spoon into my mouth to calm myself down."Why would you ask?" she asked. "Are you planning to have kids?"I was glad I wasn't looking at her so she wouldn't read my mind—not that I still believed shrinks could read minds but it was awkward nonetheless."Maybe," I gave a vague answer. Considering Curtis's stance on kids, her surprise was understandable. However, I didn't want to tell her I was pregnant yet. It didn't feel right to tell anyone else before Curtis."Well," she shrugged. "That's a broad subject. But I had all these plans for my kids. Rowan and I always wanted two, close in age, and we planned everything including what parenting methods we would use, which schools they would go to, what kind of friends we would allow around them, how I would
Devil In Disguise Test
Angelica I groaned as I forced my eyes open, adjusting to the blinding light that had just been flickered on. I didn't know how long I had slept. Hell, I wasn't sure if it was day or night. There was no window in this dingy cell and the door was a solid hank of metal that didn't allow any light through it. The only source of light was the offensively bright bulb above me, which had been kept off until now. I had alternated between sleeping and pacing in the dark the whole time and it was driving me crazy. The only thing I could feel was the chains around my wrists and ankles, reminding me that I wasn't dead yet. I didn't know how long had passed since Curtis interrogated me about The Viper. It could be a day, a week, or a year. Hell, it could be ten years for all I knew. I looked down at my stomach and my lips twitched. At least there was a way to know if months had passed. My belly would bulge out. This was Curtis's idea of torture.To be fair, solitary confinement was one of the
Devil In Disguise Chapter 163
Curtis“Angelika Giannelli, Angel of Death…is there any other identity I should know of?” I mocked.“Tell me everything about The Viper,” I demanded.She averted her gaze, dragging the long chains with her so she would walk up to me. I smirked when she stopped, her radius finally running out.“Is this necessary?” She bit back.Yes, it was. This woman killed Miles right under our noses and we didn’t think she was at fault. She played us all like a violin with that innocent smile on her face, all while taking out one Arciero after another and pitting us against each other. However, that was not why I was here.I pointed at her chains. “That will be the least of your problems. Answer me.”She shook her head. “I can’t tell you anything. You’re going to kill me anyway. Just do it.”“I knew you would say that.” I grinned. Someone with her skill could endure a lot of pain.Besides, I couldn’t bring myself to torture her. At least not physically anyway, which was odd, considering how willing
Devil In Disguise Finding the runaway bride (6)
Angelica I needed my head examined. Was I seriously considering having this child? I had bought a dozen pregnancy test kits in the hospital’s pharmacy and couldn’t wait until I got to my hotel room, so I took the tests right there in the hospital washroom. Unsurprisingly, all of them came positive. It was unbelievable. I didn’t know what I thought pregnancy felt like but this was not it. I had expected a little more drama. Aside from my boobs feeling like they were about to fall off, the doctor mentioned I was lucky enough to have a morning sickness-free pregnancy. Maybe that was why I still couldn’t believe I had an actual baby inside me. It sounded like a joke—until I remembered I had to tell Curtis. Between upgrading and downgrading my way through as many cars as possible in the last two months, and spending each of those nights at a different hotel, I had about a thousand dollars to my name. It was a drop in the bucket in relation to how much I needed to bring up a child. I
Devil In Disguise Goosechase
AngelicaI felt like crap. Where the hell am I? I wondered. I forced one eye open and squinted, wincing from how horribly my head hurt. I patted around for my phone and remembered dropping it the night before. I hadn’t stopped to pick it up. I was too busy running for my life with Curtis hot on my tail. I didn’t know how he found me but I wasn’t going to be able to hide from him forever, I guess. My plan was perfect if I do say so myself. I ran around the city, leaving Curtis a trail that would make him think I was headed for Arcron, then I circled back and returned to Silverwood, where I rented two apartments; one in my name and the other under Klara Arciero. I stayed at neither. I spent every night at a different motel far from both apartments. The apartments were only a way to keep Curtis busy if he found out I was still in the city. Which is why I couldn’t understand why the fuck I thought it was a good idea to check out my fake apartment. I was yet to enter the building when
Devil In Disguise Finding the runaway wife (5)
CurtisTwo months later. Why was I still on this wild goose chase? I hadn’t caught a whiff of my wife even though I felt I had searched the whole of West Auburg. She couldn’t have left the country. There was only one person capable of helping her get a fake passport and he was currently on our side. Sometimes I could swear she was leaving me a trail. Though when I got to it, she was gone like a puff of smoke. I was more frustrated by the realization that the longer it took to find her, the farther away she could go. If she found a way to get a fake passport from somewhere else, she could be halfway across the country and there was nothing I could do about it. But I wasn’t giving up. I meant it when I said I would tear down the whole world to find her. I was not giving up now. I was still staring at the road with my hands gripping the steering wheel. What if I was approaching this from the wrong angle?I took a U-turn at the next exit and returned home. Klara was visiting, which was
Devil In Disguise Finding the runaway wife (4)
The Viper “Angelica left.” I glared at Spider. “What do you mean she left?” He shrugged, letting me know there was nothing else to explain about it. She ran away. “And you let her?” He scrunched his nose. “You know there’s no such thing as ‘letting’ with Angelica. You could lock her up in a cage with an active electric field all around it and she would still find a way to leave.” His words conjured up a memory of that feisty little kitten she once was. She’d been looking for me for a year and I knew every bullet she put between a target’s brows, every throat she sliced was to get my attention. She did get it, but it was way too much than she bargained for. She ended up in my dungeon after putting down one of my most loyal men. I made sure the shackles were way too small for her to wiggle her hands free, and the chain was too short to be of any use. I was going to decide whether she was worth keeping that night but I walked into the dungeon only for her to head-butt me and make

CurtisLyra Giannelli, now known as Eloise Dalton, was as hard to find as her sister. I already knew she was Samantha’s cousin from overhearing their argument but I still couldn’t find her, not even with Giancarlo’s help. Eventually, I had to ask Samantha and I had to promise not to harm a hair on her head before I got any useful information.Good, because I didn’t plan to hurt her. She was more useful to me alive, anyway.I watched as the debate played out on her face, if she would be able to run past me if she tried. She decided against it. Smart girl. I didn’t track her down just to let her escape.She sat down opposite me. “Make it quick. I have to get home.”“Of course.” I let her settle down before I asked what I knew she was already expecting. “Where is she?”“Who?”“Don’t play dumb with me.”She crossed her arms at her chest. “What do you expect me to tell you? That I know where to find your wife? Why would I know that if you don’t?”I knew what she was worried about. “Look, I

Lyra “Come with me.” Angelica urged me. When we made it to her car, she had floored it out of the Arciero mansion’s garage and only stopped about half an hour later. We were far from the Arciero mansion and certainly not being followed. How nice of her to ask if I wanted to leave with her after grabbing me without much choice earlier. I was yet to figure out why we were running away. Wasn’t Curtis her husband? So what if her maiden name was a little different from what everyone thought? “Why?” I asked. “You said your life is in danger. I don’t want anything to happen to you.” She said frantically, and I knew she was hiding something. “Curtis might just take his anger out on you.” “I’ll be fine.” I assured her. Samantha was my cousin. Not biologically, but if the Carlo she always talked about was Giancarlo Arciero as I was starting to think, Curtis wouldn’t hurt me. And Andre…well, I wasn’t about to put Angelica in more danger than she already was in. “No one wants to mess with
