Flapping my wet lashes, trying to adjust the cornea of my eyes on the bright light, I found myself in a comfy bed.
Alert nestled immediately, and I sat up to look around.
Shivering, stress, anxiety, panic, fear, I could feel every emotion rolling through my veins.
Who was that person? Why did he bring me here?
Before I could process all these questions, I found a similar face smiling at me.
"Hello, Adele,"
I curled my body into the diminutive form. That is how humans react when fear crawls through their nerves.
"Who... who are you?"

The night was never this long for Decker. Every hour on his watch seems like taking hundreds of years to pass. Every few minutes, he stood and walked to peek through that round window, where he could see Adele’s face. But every minute, his eyes landed on the blank expression on her face. Vincent looked at him, thinking, is this the same man who ordered him to kill hundreds of humans in the blink of an eye? And now look at him wearily and restlessly, holding himself just to get a single blink in her eyes. “Senor,” he purred. Decker’s eyes carried all the expressions and looked at him like he was begging for Adele’s life from this universe. “I need her, Vincent.” “I am beyond salvation, but she is my last hope.” He licked his dry lips, sulking a frigid breath. Vincent rested his bloody hand on his, “You are not beyond salvation, Senor. It’s just you loved the wrong people. But this time, the lady in that room loves you more than you think.” Decker’s eyes welled up, “Do you thi

Drowning in the sorrows of pain and darkness, Adele and Decker are left alone in their room. Adele’s tears billowed when she broke Decker’s heart; she didn’t want to hurt him, but how he tried to protect his past made her exasperated. She wanted him to trust her, but simultaneously, she was curious to know what he was trying to hide. She wanted him as much as he wanted her, but now there was a deep chasm between them, and she was not ready to fill this time. He left her alone, and she didn’t stop him. Busted into tears, she couldn’t control her sobs. And for what? No one was to blame for their situation; the person who created this gap was dead. The dead were alive in between them. But something else was bothering her; it was not only the pain given by Decker. Every time she closed her eyes, glimpses of the painting came alive in her mind. Her eyes landed on her finger, which was empty without her wedding ring. A cursed smile came to her, thinking Decker had gifted her the same

It’s evening, Adele, sitting with Blaise outside the room, trying to compose her. She felt guilty for what Decker did to Elijah. “I am sorry.” Blaise was angry, but she knew it was not Adele’s fault. “What are you doing with him? You know he is not a normal human being,” Blaise asserted. Adele sighed. “I don’t know.” Adele pressed the inside of her eyes. “He started hallucinating things about the girl he loved.” Adele wanted to tell about Amber, but even Blaise didn’t know about her twin sister. “Adele, how long are you going to help him? There is no end.” Adele’s heart beat fast. “I have some duties to complete as his wife,” she added. Blaise understood the hidden meaning of her words. “I should get back.” “I wish..” Adele hugged Blaise and drove back home. She parked the car in the mansion and walked towards the fountain. “I understand why I felt connected when I first met you.” She whispered. “Your face looks similar to Amber.” Tears went south; everything she sees remin

~Decker~ For the entire night, I could not rest; the flashes of that beautiful face didn’t allow me to close my eyes. I couldn’t think of anything else, her gray eyes glittering in red lights, the way she lifted her big lashes, and that killer smile. That was the first time for me to feel this way. I have been with many, but none of them were enough for me. And here, just a glimpse of her beauty worked like a weed for me. Watching her face on the ceiling of my room, I started smiling like a crazy person. Who was she? All I knew was the morning lights showed up while I was still glaring at the ceiling. Tired, I stood and did my morning business. Enzo was sleeping like a log, but I took him to his new college today. I came to my office, where Vicent caught me yawning frequently. “Good morning, Senor.” I gave him an exhausted look as I settled on the chair, “Good morning, Vincent.” “Seems like you didn’t sleep last night.” I nodded without looking at him. “Is this related to the p

~DECKER~ We came to the hospital with her dear friend, Ramona. Although I didn’t need her, she was more like an interruption. Resting her delicate body on the hospital bed, I waited for the doctor to arrive. I was quietly scanning this beauty while she was groaning with pain. Should I ask her? But I didn’t want to make her feel I was affected and drooling over her beauty. Even in pain, she cursed those bastards. “How did you get blood on your forehead?” She pressed the cut with a damp cloth, “One of them smacked my head with the gun,” she replied, “And why did he do that?” “Because I kicked his balls.” She rested her head back on the headrest, making me laugh. “What’s so funny about it?” “Nothing, I am surprised... maybe you didn’t need me to save you,” I replied, pressing my lips together. The nurse came over and checked her pulse. She removed the damp cloth, revealing her cut on the right upside of her eye. “I am going to clean your wound. Don’t scream.” The nurse dipped

She challenged me while leaving me alone. She was not a regular girl whom I could impress with my money and charm; She got something special that made me run after her. We met twice, and she mocked me with her words and attitude every time. Now it came to my male ego to know her, to make her feel I was still the devil of this town. After she left, I took the deal into my hand. She showed her attitude; it was my time to make her know who I was. The evening came, and I reached the pub. Instructed everything for the manager. I knew she would come today for her performance, but the one thing she didn’t know from now on, she had to perform for me. *********** As the evening comes, all the girls come to the vanity room to prepare themselves. “Alright, girls. Customers are waiting for you all.” They gave the last touch on their face while walking out, “Not you, Rose.” The manager stopped. Rose furrowed her brows, as this was not good news for her. She needed money, and her server j

As the days passed, Decker’s curiosity to know about Amber turned out to be an obsession. The more she limits, the more it becomes hard for Decker to control himself. He tried hard to showcase himself as a gentleman, but the eagerness surfaced to have her, and it was challenging to deceive. He knew everything about her routine, despite that, she didn’t allow him to explore what was inside her heart. “Senor, are you in love with that girl? But she seems not interested.” Vincent questioned. “I don’t know about her, but she has something that my heart craves. And her constant rejection makes me want her more and more.” “I want to be soft with her, but sometimes I’m scared I might hurt her.” Decker ruffed. “But what if she?...” “Stop right there, Vincent.” Decker glared at him. “I am going to the pub.” Decker left for the pub, waiting for Amber to enter the room. As the doorknob turned out, his heart skipped a beat, thinking she might accept him today. Her flawless skin shines thr

~DECKER~ When the sorrow comes, time stops. It felt like it would never move. The same thing I tasted when I saw Enzo and Amber enjoying their moments with each other. I was breaking it day by day. I didn’t know why I allowed Amber to use me, maybe because I thought she would see my dedication towards her one day. But I was wrong; she used me for everything. The day came when I heard Enzo talking to his friend about Amber. I was right; he was never serious about her. He used her for his pleasure. For a moment, I felt happy for her to accept me, but the very next moment, I felt terrible for her. I knew she loved him, and he was using her. My angel said to confront my brother and make him realize he was not doing a good thing by her, but my devil said, let there be a dispute between them; she should suffer; she used you for her benefit. Being a big brother, I thought about fixing things, even though this fire would burn me. “Enzo, how could you do this to Amber? She loves you.” He

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

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
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 158: Sarah's struggle
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 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
