Chapter 110: The invitation
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When you are pleased, you enjoy the sound and the beats, but when you are shattered, you understand the lyrics. Margarita and Samson, we’re inclined to comprehend the lyrics. One was eager to understand the reason behind all the chaos, and one was hiding in vain.
The worst feeling wants to cry, but holding it in front of those who knew her better. But Margarita handled her fragility well enough over the years, as if she had built the armor around her heart, not letting the air know what was happening inside her.
The beat had passed when he declared his hatred. It’s been a week, but for her, the time had stopped at that moment. She indulged herself in work so much that she stopped enjoying the moments she had craved for so long, being with her parents, especially her dad. Just like her usual morning

“I am taking you to the special club.” Her eyes widened. There could be the possibility of a strip club, pub, or something more.“Special club? What is that supposed to mean?” She frowned; she didn’t like the uncertainty of the plan.“Don’t worry; we will have fun,”“I thought we were going for dinner.”“We are, but before that, choose any of them.” he extended a bunch of brochures.“What is that? Do I need to choose one of them?” She flipped the options one after another.“Standup comedy, cliche,”“Strip club, um, watching another woman, nay, I will pass. I mean, this is what you will enjoy.” She rolled her eyes, and he observed her while driving, b
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 112: Despair
Stepping away from the person she presumed to spend time with, Margarita directed herself towards the restroom. However, she took the tiny bits of that scotch, but it seems like she was all drunk, or maybe he notched the audacity level, invading her sanity lines like a thin power. Did he make her uncomfortable? No, but too much sharing of emotions was making her nervous. She entered the restroom and emptied her anxious bladder. She heard voices playing, talking about their business loudly. One washed her hands outside while another questioned her from the next cubical. “Where did you find him?” The sound felt familiar, that baritone voice, with a snort in the end. She had heard somewhere, but Margarita chose to pounder her own thoughts. “I usually go to his pub, and it turns out I bumped into the owner,” “Which pub?” Ma

“I am sure, whatever the reason is, you better keep the person alive because I am worse than anyone else here.”Aslan's words didn’t leave her mind. If not wrong, she never wanted to be the reason for the war between Aslan and Samson. Lying, she blankly staring at the ceiling of her room. What is happening in her life? A few months ago, she didn’t know anyone. And now she is in the middle of everything. Her train of thought halted when her phone started to buzz, showing Mateo’s name on it.“Brother,” her smile widened, watching him after a long time. Since her parents are here, they don’t get time to talk to each other, and Mateo gets busy handling the business in the absence of Decker.“Jellybean, how are you?”“I am good.
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 114: He knows the darkest of her fear
The morning was blissful, and the shimmering light entered the window and knocked at Margi’s flawless skin. Her phone buzzed quite a few times, reminding her she was getting wishes from colleagues and friends. Not that they were so close to calling her and intervening in her day, but just a casual message will suffice.She prepared herself and walked down, but paused at the stairs. The commotion hit her eardrums as usual, but the glimpses of colors from the window weren’t enough to adjoin it. Her brows knitted in confusion, and steps motioned towards the main door, where she heard the unison of the birthday song recited only for her.Her eyes sparkled, watching rainbow colors everywhere, and the garrulous was making her goosebumps. The snow cone stall, jumping house, balloons, pizza, popcorn, and clown show. It was a small fair that showed up in their mansion’s yard.A smile knitted on her face; this was not expected as a birthday surprise.“How’s it?” Decker pecked her head, watching

The roads were stretched like a fine inked line, with the dusk lights barely piercing through the grey storm clouds brewing at the horizon. It would be hard to anticipate whether the weather will soothe or will bring the storm in the next few hours. She scanned the sky and pushed the gas as if it would get her to her destination before the time. The desperation to tell him her heart out seems to be a restless act.The car breathes and takes the energy of her desperation, raising the speed limit. All this time, she was waiting for him, but never realized she could also tell him about her. She loves him, and maybe he is waiting for her confession. A smile knitted, thinking the game of destiny. The man who hated her later became the person to heal her. The man he thought was impossible to understand was an open book for her.Is it a crime to appreciate a beautiful thing?Why does my name sound so good when you taste it?I am not leaving you, Miss Margarita.How can someone not fall in lo

“Did you really wanted to rape me?” Samson lifted his face to see her eyes filled with translucent tears prickling down her cheeks. She didn’t bother to look at him and confront the truth when he already declared it.He was tongue-tied in front of her and hated himself for everything he was pulling with her.“I had always wondered what changed you. Was it us, or did you seek me as your home?” there was no complaint about it, simple yearning? He dropped his hand, and there he was, dropping the veil of being the bad guy here and showing sentiments only for her. It’s like quicksand pulling him inside; his hands and mouth are tied.“I remember the way you looked at me, Samson.” her bewitching eyes peeled him raw, which he couldn’t afford, not now when he was close to losing her forever.“This... what you said upstairs... I know it’s a lie.” She cupped his face with that soft touch he missed for so long, and he averted his eyes from her mesmerizing face, calling his name.“Why are you doin
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 117: He is winning the game
The rain poured down the features, and the thunder shrouded the sky, leaving these two bodies colliding together. One was enjoying the victory, and the other was shattering into his arms. He held her against the boisterous splash of water droplets, didn’t know her salted tears were soaked somewhere in the air. A pair of brown eyes watched through the window. A growl escaped inside his chest, watching his daughter into another man’s arm, but it subsided when she was the one who claimed his lips and trusted his warmth more than anyone else. His mind sifted and flashed through the memory of when Amber’s rejection broke through him. He would never allow that suffering to come near Margarita, but watching her was a sense of peace when she collected herself before anything and chose the right partner for herself. Decker didn’t hate Samson. Instead, he used to see himself in him, but it was unnecessary for Samson would make her happy. She deserves every ounce of love from this world, whether

The ice cubes fell in whiskey, and he watched patiently as the hue of victory swirled in the liquid. His fingers slide on the condensation before they regain their grip. The breeze was way more soothing, and the moon looked mellower; the night was the same, but the meaning had changed.A wicked smile tucked over his lips, thinking about the words Margarita asked him. WILL YOU MARRY ME? He had burned himself over the years with that insatiable desire to become the rightful heir, and the unquenchable despair of his mother’s death still haunts his dream. He missed her warm hands on his head, and he missed her hugs when he feared loneliness, but all these years, what kept him going was the fire inside him. The fire of revenge and vengeance from everyone responsible for it.Standing on the patio, he released the smoke, dabbing his lips on the glass rim.“What are we celebrating?” Ramona slithered in between his trance and gifted the same cunning smile he was emitting alone. She made hersel

Margarita looked out at the moon, standing next to the fountain. The breeze played with her long curls, emphasizing the coldness. She was not expecting her dad to reveal the situation like this. She heard the footsteps approaching in her direction, and she was not willing to talk to anyone right now. She rushed towards the garden, thinking she could hide. “Margarita,” a voice brushed in her ears, and the goosebumps started to crawl out from her skin. She didn’t turn because she knew she would look weak and vulnerable in front of Samson. Margarita’s fingers tightened around the edge of her dress, her knuckles turning white. She could sense Samson’s presence behind her, the weight of his gaze, the unspoken words that hung in the air between them. But she remained committed, determined to protect herself from the pain that had once shattered her world. “I know... I have never missed an opportunity to hurt you, but we both know how much...” Samson whispered close to her ear; she turned

Three of them went inside. Samson could feel the resilience aura coming his way from Mateo. His presence might have been accepted by the Italian don but by the brother of Margarita Costello.The room was filled with a tense silence as Decker’s sharp gaze fell on Samson, his expression unreadable. Mateo stood by, observing the interaction between the two men.“Samson,” Decker’s voice was steady, his tone devoid of any warmth.“How are you now?”“I am... better,” Decker gestured toward a chair, indicating for Samson to sit. As they settled around a table, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation.“Mateo, could you please call everyone? Our friend here came to have dinner with us,” Decker instructed, his eyes never leaving Samson.Mateo nodded and left the room, leaving Samson and Decker alone for a moment. The silence was tangible, and Samson could feel the weight of Decker’s scrutiny on him.The silence filled with the click of glass when Decker poured whiskey into two glasses and dr
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 159: The end of the villain
Master’s cold eyes flickered with intense emotion. He leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced, and recounted his side of the story.“It all started when you shot Elijah, leaving him to die.” That sight was still crisp in Master’s mind, watching his son bathed in his own blood pool.Master’s voice was low and filled with bitterness.He paused for a moment, his gaze distant as he relived the memories of that fateful day. “Elijah’s condition only fueled my rage further. He was left paralyzed, and I couldn’t bear to see my son suffer like that.”“The pain of watching our son consumed my wife, and she chose to die by taking her life. I lost everything that day, and the pain consumed me because of you.” Master’s eyes didn’t flicker from Decker’s face.“I wanted revenge, and I wanted Decker to suffer as I had suffered. So, I searched for the worst criminals, those who would carry out my bidding without question. That’s when I found Vasco Ivankov and helped him establish the Spanish

In a quiet corner of the room, Adele and Elijah sat closely together. Both of them were old, and time had carved its marks on their faces, but their eyes held the same warmth and love that had bound them together for decades. Adele looked at Elijah with concern, her heart aching for the man she once loved deeply.“You look beautiful,” Elijah stammered.Adele smiled thinly and shook her head, withering away the worries about what was happening outside.“Is this because of the bullet in your spine?” Adele asked gently, her voice barely above a whisper.Elijah nodded slowly, his lips twisted in pain as he struggled to speak. “Yes,” he uttered. “I got punished for what I did.”Tears welled up in Adele’s eyes as she reached out and cupped Elijah’s hand in her own. “No, Elijah,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. “You didn’t deserve this. You were caught in the crossfire, and it was never your fault.”Elijah drooled, and Adele picked to wipe his face.“Is he handsome enough?” He chuck

The thick scarlet liquid dripped from the on the wooden floor, slithering down at the Master’s shoe. He finished, placed his cigar back on the ashtray, and looked sideways to see the lifeless body of Capo on his patio. His face twisted in disgust and anger. He looked at the man who had once been his friend, his ally, but was now nothing more than a hindrance to his plans. “Your blood stains my patio, making it dirty,” he muttered, his voice cold and devoid of any remorse.“I thought your son was better than you, but these Costello bitches always win the men with their charm,” he greeted, his teeth watching over Elijah as he made his way to the patio.“Don’t look at me like this,” Master rolled his eyes, watching Elijah’s judgemental eyes.Capo’s phone started to buzz on the coffee table, displaying the name “Samson” on the screen, but Master didn’t bother to pick up. He threw the phone aside, frustrated by the turn of events. His plan to defeat Decker and take control of the underworl
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 156: Freedom
The room was shrouded in darkness, the heavy curtains drawn tightly shut, blocking any sliver of light from the outside world. The only source of illumination was a single dim lamp perched on the edge of the heavy wooden desk. Its soft glow created dancing shadows on the walls, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the room.Capo sat there, a solitary figure amidst the darkness, his face partially concealed by the shadows. The lamp cast a faint light on his troubled expression, revealing the lines of sorrow etched on his face. His eyes, filled with a mixture of grief and determination, remained fixed on a picture of his beloved son, Aslan, which lay on the desk before him, his handsome face smiling back at him, and tears welled up in his eyes.“I’m so sorry, my boy,” Capo whispered, his voice choked with emotion. “I never got the chance to tell you the truth. I wanted to explain why I punished your mother. Why I had to make the choices I did.”His mind drifted back to the painful memories
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 155: Forgiveness
The morning sun gently streamed through the curtains, waking Sarah from her restless slumber. As she opened her eyes, she saw Margi sitting beside her, her face filled with concern.“Hey,” Margi said softly, “How are you feeling?”Sarah mustered a weak smile. “Better, I guess. Thanks for taking care of me.”Margi nodded, her heart heavy with the weight of everything that had transpired. “Of course, Sarah. I’ll always be here for you.”Tears welled up in Sarah’s eyes as she looked at Margi. “I’m so sorry, Margi. I never meant for any of this to happen.”Margi reached out and gently squeezed Sarah’s hand. “It’s not your fault, Sarah. None of us could have foreseen any of this.”Sarah’s voice quivered as she spoke, “Will you ever be able to forgive Dominic?”Margi looked at her friend, unsure if she could ever find it in her heart to forgive the man who had caused her so much pain. “I... I don’t know if I can forgive him,” she admitted, her voice filled with uncertainty and vulnerability
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 154: Proximity
Margi looked down at her trembling hands, her dress stained with blood and dirt. One part of her heart was relieved. Sarah is safe and under the doctor’s observation. Her mind drifted back to that horrifying day when she witnessed her brother Ethan’s tragic end. The image of him being engulfed by bullets haunted her, and her own screams echoed in her ears. She felt the guilt creeping in, wondering why it was always her loved ones who suffered while she managed to survive.Aslan’s face flashed before her eyes, his hazel eyes filled with love and happiness just hours before his life was taken from him. The memory of his gentle smile and the promise of a new life together crushed her heart. She couldn’t bear the thought that she was with him in his last moments, and yet she couldn’t save him.“Why does it always have to be them? Why can’t I protect the ones I love?” Margi whispered to herself, her voice filled with desperation.Amid her thoughts, Antonio extended a glass of water towards
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 153: Refuge
The road ahead seemed uncertain and dark. The headlights of the car cut through the night, illuminating the winding path before them, but it did little to dispel the heaviness in their hearts.In the silence of the car, broken only by the sound of the engine and the soft hum of tires on the road, Margi and Sarah couldn’t help but contemplate the shattered trust that lay between them and Dominic.Margi skimmed in her direction and knew how the pain etched on Sarah’s face. The dry tears and blank eyes were a reflection of the shattered trust that mirrored her own feelings. Looking at Sarah, Margi saw a reflection of her own heartache, and she knew that they both shared a similar pain.“Do you love him?” Margi asked, her voice soft and understanding, knowing the weight of that question.Sarah hesitated for a moment, her lower lip trembling with fear of revealing the truth. She squeezed her eyes and swallowed the truth without uttering them in words.Margi knew the ache of loving someone
