Devil's Daughter Epilogue
Lorraine Lebedeva5 YEARS LATER"Calm down Lora." Abree exclaimed, she gripped onto my shoulder and forced me face her. "Deep breath in..." she proclaims then takes a deep breath in. I mimic her actions. "And out." she says, exhaling and I did so too.My heartbeat was quick, goosebumps trailing up my spine as my palms sweat from the nervousness."What if something goes wrong? What if I trip and fall? What if I say the wrong words? Wha-" Abree interrupted my panic when she shoved a piece of chocolate in my mouth then turned me around as I came into view with myself.For the first time I felt and looked beautiful.I did not want to style my hair. It was black and long as it grew over the years till it reached my mid-back. My makeup was light as always, my cheeks powered with a rosy colour. My lips painted red and my light eyeshadow made my blue eyes pop with a touch of mascara.The dress runs vertically from the shoulders straight to the floor like a gown a royal would wear. Layers of l
Devil's Daughter TEMPTED
Lorraine Lebedeva As I disembark from the sleek limousine, Dante's warm greeting echoes in my ears. I offer a coy smile while adjusting my attire, ensuring that my makeup is pristine before stepping into the bustling nightclub.My choice of attire for the evening is a daring red leather dress, hugging every curve, and accentuating my bare décolletage. I pair this with a classic black stiletto, adding an extra touch of sophistication and glamour.Dante's hesitant question hangs in the air, his apprehension palpable. I suppress a smirk, inwardly relishing in the fear that I so effortlessly evoke in others. With a small nod, I reassure him of my confidence, steeling myself to enter the club, determined to make a lasting impression.Confession time. I fibbed. Papa's iron grip never releases after dusk. Except, he's out of the country and won't return for another forty-eight hours... so I have two glorious days of liberation. And, my dear friend Katina is turning twenty today.Being the of
Devil's Daughter LACE
Lorraine Lebedeva I'm warm. My eyes fluttered open, I began to blink rapidly to gain back my vision. When I look around I realize that I'm in my room. How did I end up here? When I look down I notice that I'm in my nightdress and my clothing from last night is neatly placed on my nightstand. I pull myself out of bed and I feel a sharp intake of pain. My head is pounding. I groan and force myself out of bed. I start to remember everything from last night. I remember we were Drinking then Katina asked me to dance after I danced with this guy. Everything else is a blur. God, I hope I didn't do anything stupid. Wait- that guy I danced with said my name. How the hell does he know my name and I think he looked familiar. I shrug off the feeling and walk towards the door, opening it I peek my head out to make sure there are no guards in the hallway. My body relaxed a bit that the hall was empty. I slowly walk out and gently shut my bedroom door - Pressing my lips together so that I
Devil's Daughter DISTRACTION
Lorraine Lebedeva four weeks and I haven't heard from the person. I've tried so damn hard to distract myself but nothing is working, that's why I have agreed to accompany my father for his business trip to France. Which is today. "Everything is packed?" Mother questioned. "Yes mother." I drop my head into my hands. "I just need a break from being in the house all the time." Mother sighs, shutting her eyes as she pinches the bridge of her nose. "I know sweetheart, But soon it's your birthday." She says gently. Smiling politely I placed my hand onto hers and gently stroked the back of her hand. "I know you're worried but everything will be okay, I'm with dad and Dante so there's no need to be paranoid." Mother stiffness suddenly, she looks down then up for exactly five seconds before turning away. "Be safe, okay." She whispers it sounded more like a promise than a demand. "I'll come back like I always do." I giggle as I try to lighten up the mood. She takes a deep breath before stan
Devil's Daughter NAÏVE
Lorraine Lebedeva "Holy shit." Halette gasps. Rolling my eyes I let myself in and smiled when I saw aunt Nadine in the kitchen. The flight to France wasn't bad. I slept the whole time so I didn't get the chance to see the view kind of bummed cause it's my favorite thing to do whenever we fly. Father had an emergency call so he couldn't stop by and pay a little visit to aunt Nadine's. Dante is currently at the hotel where we'll be staying for the next two weeks. "You can't just ignore me like that Lora," Haletta yelled behind my back. Giggling, I turned around and pulled her into a bear hug. "Oka-okay Lora I-I can't breathe." She gasps as she tries to push me away. "Oh, how I've missed you," I say, tightening my grip around her. "Lora!" She gasped. Rolling my eyes I let go and she stumbles back, catching her breath. "Are you trying to kill me," Haletta says. "Yeah, maybe," I responded. "Lora!" I spin around, even though it's aunt Nadine. A big smile is plastered across her face. S
Devil's Daughter TRUST
Lorraine Lebedeva There comes a time where you have full control over a situation or you don't. Right now my mind is trying to process what just happened. I don't know if I should be freaking out or act normal, something is pulling me back from informing my father that I crossed paths with Raphael Romano. "Lora!" I snapped out my thoughts and looked around to check who called for me. "Are you okay?" Haletta questioned as she placed her hand on my shoulder. I turned to her. "Hmm, yeah sure, sure. I'm okay." I mumbled. She gave me an unsure look and lifted a brow. "Sure?" She asked. "Yeah, I'm just tired. Can we leave?" I asked as I tugged my hair behind my ear. "Uh, yeah sure let's go." She said then stood up from her seat and grabbed all her things. I took my things as well and we paid for our deserts. ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ "Hey, are you okay?" Haletta asked. "I'm good." "You weren't fine when I dropped you off." She whispered in a worried tone. I slightly chuckled. "I told you I was
Devil's Daughter CONFESSION
Lorraine Lebedeva"Not yet red." He whisperedI bit my lip, clenched my fist then screwed my eyes shut.Idiot. I thought to myself.I opened my eyes and looked up licking my lips when I admired his soft plump lips. He pulled me closer and I caught his gaze. Raphael tilted his head to the side a little then placed his hands on my face. I leaned in and closed my eyes, took a deep breath then opened my eyes again.He began to rub his thumb on my cheek in a circular motion. It was relaxing.I was about to speak but he beat me to it. "You need rest." He says in a soothing tone as he tucked my hair behind my ear.I didn't respond, instead pushed him away from me and walked out the bathroom.I waited for me to exit the bathroom and he saw me standing next to the bed with my arms crossed. He didn't show any emotion nor say a word.When he reached the door he opened it then wished me a goodnight before closing it.I threw myself on the bed and groaned from frustration then ran my fingers thro
Devil's Daughter LUNCH
Lorraine Lebedeva I took a deep breath. "There's something I have to tell you." Father's smile faded when he noticed I wasn't smiling. "What is it sweetheart?" he asked. I placed my hands on the table, Father wrapped his hands around mine giving it a comforting squeeze. His eyes met mine and I looked away. I don't have the heart to look him in the eye. I chew the inside of my cheek. My palms are starting to get sweaty. I'm nervous, I have no idea how he will react to this. Before I could speak, fathers phone vibrated on the table. He read the ID caller then shifted his attention back to me. "It's important," he spoke with guilt. I sighed letting go of his hands. I put on my best smile, nodding my head up and down as I tugged a few strands of my hair behind my ear. "This will only take a minute." He picked up his phone hence stood up then he walked out of the restaurant. He mouthed sorry. I sighed. Should I tell him? Not sure, half of me wants to inform father about this b

Devil's Daughter BRATVA
Lorraine LebedevaToday is the day.Just calm Lorraine. You can do this..."Hey..." a soft voice pulled me out of my trance. I lift my head and I meet his gaze. "I'll be by your side okay. Just remember to hold your head up high because you are the queen of the Bratva and will always be my queen." Raphaël reassured me.Warmth filled my chest. Raphaël leaned in, placing a gentle kiss to my forehead. "Plus, whoever tries to cross the line with you I will fucking destroy them."I let out a small laugh. "Thank you...?" I trailed off.Once the SUV pulled up in-front of a skyscraper I took the building in aware. I was definitely not expecting this...

Devil's Daughter BREAKING POINT
Lorraine LebedevJust as I casually walk by a set of sliding doors, I see a group of men gathering around three parked SUVs. I knew something was up. Simeon was not home, he left five days ago due to an emergency.Just as Raphaël promised, I was on the lookout for anyone who might be sent by Raphaël and I have spotted all five. They are either cleaners or gardeners who were replaced.Josephine and I talked two days ago as she explained the plan for me. Raphaël managed to wreck one of Simeon's biggest shipments of the year from the Irish which cost Simeon over half a billion dollars of stock being stolen. Probably more weapons and illegal substances. That was phase one of the plan. A distraction. Phase two was to swap around the workers for the house so that they could work from the inside and plus with Simeon being distracted no one really pays attention to do background checks with swapped workers. Simeon will be back before midnight as I was informed by one of Raphaël's undercover w
Devil's Daughter LORRAINE
Lorraine Lebedeva"Eat Lorraine." Simeon demands.I didn't bother to look up as my gaze was fixed on my plate filled with chicken and vegetables."I'm not hungry." I mumbled as I used my fork to move the vegetables around the plate.Silence hummed in the air as I felt Simeon's gold stare lasering into me. I slowly lifted my gaze and gawked at him. "You need to eat." he said slowly, more so you could hear the threat in his tone.His annoyance flared, as his pulse slammed in his neck.I forced down the sick feeling by climbing on the table and stabbing him in the eye with my fork. I stabbed a piece of broccoli with my fork and shoved it into my mouth, his threatening gaze on me as the tension rose by the second our anger and disgust mixed together creating a dangerous combo.Tick tock, tick tockThe sound of the clock ringed in my ears, as the atmosphere darkened.The audacity of him, forcing me to sit down and have family dinner like everything is normal and okay. Like our relationship

The club is electric tonight everyone feeding off the smiles and dancing tonight.Abree and Marcello appear beside me, I look up to them and Abree gives me a curt nod gesturing that we are in the clear and no one seems suspicious...for now.I unlock the suitcase and flash the woman in front of me 1 million dollars in cash. She eyed the money and me then shook her head."Look, I've been risking my ass for you Raphaël but these are getting dark and I don't think I can keep up with this." she said.I lean back against the couch, my legs spread wide and arms rested on the head of the couch."I have her Josephine and if you want to see your daughter's face again, then shut the fuck up and do your job and as a bonus I am generous enough to pay for her treatments." I proclaimed. Josephine lowered her head as she clenched her fist beside her.Aft
Devil's Daughter CLOSED DOORS
Lorraine Lebedeva3 MONTHS LATERHis fist collided with my face, sending me to the ground so quickly my hair whipped around my face before I hit the mat.I groaned in pain as the hard impact of my chest crushed my lungs and ribs that it became difficult to breathe for a few moments. I was frozen on the boxing ring's floor, almost dead, before I tried to push myself up. My arms wobbled, my chest rose and fell as I desperately tried to get the air back in my lungs. Sweat dripped from my forehead as it glided down my flesh.Get the fuck up Lorraine, you are embarrassing yourself.I managed to get to one knee before crumbling back onto the mat. My limbs are giving up on me.I have been in training for the past 9 hours with no breaks. Simeon has been torturing me for the past 3 months and 4 weeks since I've been back.He made me do terrible things I'd never forgive him for.I killed dozens of people.I skinned people alive, set them on fire, let them drowned, tortured them with weapons' I
Devil's Daughter CRUSHED
Lorraine LebedevaDay 1"Mother!" I screamed.I quickly rushed towards her and placed her head on my thighs.My chest tightened when I saw tears streaming down her face."Mom, mom, no, no don't worry you will be okay..." I sobbed. "You'll be okay." Nodding my head rapidly, I convinced myself that this was a dream. That I should pinch myself awake.She grabbed my hands and kissed it. "Don't worry baby." She whispered, smiling wickedly. "You did this to me, you killed me."Blood rushed out of the open wound as the warmth of life was slowly fading away.I woke up with a gasp. My sweat drenched in the sheets as it slid off my body. I looked around widely, certain to find an intruder but nothing except deep shadows skulled the corners of my room.The pale blue hues of twilight, filtered through the white lace curtains, the wind fluttering the windows.It was just a nightmare.It was just a nightmare.It was the first time I've ever had a nightmare of my mother, especially since her death.
