Married To The Devil Chapter One-Hundred and Twelve
Lauren's POV I opened my eyes to find it dark outside. My head was brewing with a mild ache that seemed to get worse as I sat up to an empty bed. With a frown, I looked around at the bedroom one more time to find Damien, but he was obviously not there. “Have you seen Damien?” I asked as soon as I saw Shirley in the hallway walking towards the stairs. “We had lunch together. I think he’s in the garden with Conrad,” she answered. With a nod, I walked down the stairs with her and into the garden at the back of the house. Conrad and Damien stopped talking as they looked up and found me approaching. “I slept in so late,” I said, sitting beside Damien. “I missed lunch.” “If you’re hungry, I can get the chef to make something for you. I had the staff come over here to work,” Damien announced. I shook my head in response. “I’m not very hungry, honestly,” I said. As we all sat there, I couldn’t help but notice how neither of them had said a

Lauren's POV Shirley’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she stared at me in disbelief after my confession of wanting to see Matteo alone. “Lauren, are you out of your mind!?” She yelled, her sharp voice cutting through the tense air around us. “Why on earth would you even think about doing that? I might not know him, but I know he’s dangerous, and I’m sure you know it too. He’s not someone you just walk up to and strike up some conversation with.” I felt the every single word she said and how true they were, but I couldn’t back down. I couldn’t let fear dictate my actions. “I might not have met him as well, but I know exactly what kind of person Matteo is, Shirley. Yes, he’s a dangerous man. But that’s precisely why I need to do this.” My voice was steadier than I felt inside. “The only way to get off his list of people to hurt is to head straight for him and come to an agreement. If we wait around, doing nothing, he’ll come for us when we least expect

Lauren's POV My palms tightened around the steering wheel as I pulled over in the parking lot of the restaurant. The sign above the entrance glowed faintly in the night, welcoming all. My heart pounded in my chest, a mixture of fear and determination coursing through my veins. “This is it, Lauren,” I quietly whispered to myself. “There’s no turning back now.” It all seemed quiet, a little too quiet since it wasn’t even past midnight just yet. Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of the car, the cool night air sending a shiver down my spine. My footsteps echoed softly as I made my way to the entrance. The door barely made a sound as I pushed it open, the warm light inside an opposite of the darkness outside. My eyes soon adjusted to the dim lighting. The restaurant was nearly empty, making me feel uneasy. My gaze landed on a couple seated at a corner of the restaurant, and relief washed over me at the fact that I wasn’t completely alone. If things went so

Lauren's POV As I sat across from Matteo, the phone pressed tightly to my ear, the detective’s presence accompanied by the last words he had told me lingering in the air. There was a high possibility that the man seated in front of me was my mother’s killer. “Are you sure about this?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady and avoid sending any hints to Matteo. There was a pause on the other end, the kind that made me want to fill it with more questions that the detective probably didn’t have answers for. “It’s what our suspect claimed, Mrs. Goldberg. But we’re not fully certain yet. We’re going to bring Matteo in for questioning first thing tomorrow morning.” My grip on the phone tightened as I glanced up at Matteo. He was watching me, his lips curling into a mocking smile that made my stomach turn. I tried everything I could to keep my expression neutral, nodding as if the detective could see me. “Okay, thank you for letting me know. Pl

Lauren's POV The drive back to the house felt like it took forever. Each second that passed only deepened the aching cavity in my chest, the weight of Damien’s words pressing down on me and making it difficult for me to breathe. As I pulled into the driveway, my hands trembled, and I had to take a moment to steady myself before I could get out of the car. The house was quiet with nothing but the distant sounds of nocturnal bugs to remind me that I was alive. As I stepped inside, I found them all in the living room—Damien, Shirley, and Conrad. As soon as Shirley saw me, she rushed over and wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug. “I’m so sorry, Lauren,” she whispered, her voice filled with guilt. “I didn’t want to tell Damien, but I couldn’t find you anywhere. I didn’t know what else to do. You could have at least told me that you had not changed your mind.” I wanted to be mad at her. I wanted to lash out and tell her that she had no right, but I could

Lauren's POV The drive to the police station was even more nerve-wracking than anything. My mind traveled to all the places possible as I thought about Matteo and what grand stunt he wanted to pull. Was he trying to make a point to bring me to the station and tell me that even with the police present, I couldn’t do anything to him? “Come on, come on, come on!” I said to myself, honking at nothing as I drove past the countryside house that still had a hole gaping from the side of it from the explosion. I slammed my foot on the brake pedals as I almost sped past the station in a bid to get there as fast as possible. The action caused me to get lurched forward aggressively with just the seat belt being there to slam me back in place. An officer walked towards the car, knocking on the window and signaling for me to wind it down. “Ma’am, are you okay?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at me as he glanced around at the interior of the car to see if anyone else wa
Married To The Devil Chapter One-Hundred and Eighteen
Lauren's POV I stumbled out of the police station, the weight of the past few minutes pressing heavily against my chest. My heart raced as my thoughts swirled in absolute chaos. Matteo’s voice still lingered and danced in my mind, the words he said about Damien gnawing at my mind. Could he be right? I shook my head as soon as that question popped up in it, refusing to believe that Damien, no matter how angry he might be at me, would keep something so important from me. He wouldn’t do that. But even as I thought that, doubt crept into the back of my mind and reminded me that I needed answers. I pulled out my phone, my fingers trembling as I found Damien’s number. My thumb hovered over the call button for a moment before I pressed it. As the phone rang with each passing second, my anxiety only worsened. The call diverted to voicemail with Damien’s cold and official voice telling me to leave a message. “Damien, hi. It’s me… Lauren. I—I need to talk to you.
Married To The Devil Chapter One-Hundred and Nineteen
Lauren's POV My legs trembled beneath me as I quickly pushed myself off the ground, the world going past me in a blur. Panic surged through me, hotter and faster than I could control. I lunged forward, grabbing Shirley by the arms. My heart raced, and my mind spun with terrifying thoughts as I remembered what became of the house in the countryside and the car that I was in with Damien. “Where is it!?” I demanded, my voice shaking as I frantically felt around her body, searching for the explosive that was ticking away and counting the last possible minutes, or even seconds, that we had. “Lauren, stop!” Shirley cried out, her hands shoving me away with force, surprisingly stronger than the first. I stumbled back, my heart hammering against my ribs, but I refused to let go. I couldn’t let her do this. “No! I’m not letting you do this!” I yelled, desperation clawing at my throat. I reached for her again, but she broke free and turned to run towards the wate
