THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 73: Sleepless night
Margarita came inside, adoring the warmth these four walls offered her. It feels like home after a long time. A home away from home, primarily because of Mummo and Laura.She remembered Laila, Kiara, and Tristy and how they fought each other.After Kiara’s death, Mateo never allowed Laila to come near Margarita. He was torturing her in his way, but she knew he loved her.Every day, she prayed for Mateo’s heart to melt for Laila and to realize he loved her.Samson followed her, mulling over the thoughts of Laura’s drastic change. How come here killing Margarita instinct changed into protecting her?“Sammy, grab some blankets. It’s going to get cold.” His mother called him, and he turned and passed his goodnights but didn’t want her to leave so soon when he could use this time to be with her.“Goodnight.” Margarita took the time window to go inside and settle on the bed. She looked blankly at the ceiling. She was in his home, the man who shook her to the core and challenged her like any
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 74: Dirty confession
The morning showered through the window, slamming on closed eyelids and kissing Margarita’s face. Today she woke up with a smile on her face. The shift in the air she could breathe was gifted by none other than her firm beliefs, and Samson changed being.She got up and headed to finish her morning routine, while stealing a glance in the mirror. She smiled, remembering the accidental kiss.Is she falling for him?Questioning the reason for her blushed cheeks, she couldn’t stop thinking of him.Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knock on her door.“Are you done?” Unlocking the bathroom door, she peeked out to see Laura settled on her bed, waiting for her.Isn’t it called an invasion of privacy? But she ignored her with a sense of knowing her more.“Just a few more minutes,” Margarita replied and got busy with her actions.“You took long enough,” Laura commented when Margarita came out in her bathrobe.“Well, good morning to you too.” Margarita had never met a girl like her,
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 75: Home Call
It was said the feeling of love would make you a new person. The effort you put yourself out to heal and become a new being can only happen when you are heading toward falling in love. The faith to sustain this relationship builds again, and you feel precious once again.Margarita and Samson feel the same way. They kept themselves out in the challenging scenario and healed those broken and shattered pieces with each other’s presence. She has never been in love before and never wanted to fall in love with a man who belongs to the mafia world. But how long is she going to deny her fate? That gooey feeling when she saw her made her blush, but none of them confessed their heart, still figuring out if the feelings were real or were merely an attraction to getting along.Samson never felt this attraction, but he had strange appealed since he saw her five years back. She was the one who drove him crazy enough to go against Capo and stay in Milan for another night, and now she was showing the
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 76: Welcome to her world
The aircraft rode through the heavy clouds of New Mexico towards the thick air of Sicily. The ride was smooth, with a turbulent hint they were about to reach the devil’s den. The plane landed on the lit tarmac, kissing the earth with joyance bumpy ride. As the door opened, the breeze of the home touched Margarita. It’s been over five years of sensing the thick air of home. That air contains the fragrance of cheese, home-baked cake, and a hint of blood to raise the hell name of being a Costello.Samson grabbed their bags and followed out to get received by a special vehicle standing next to the aircraft to take them towards the VIP Logue for further formalities.“Miss Costello,” the attendant unfurled a warm welcome with flowers and extended her hand to help them verbatim to the right vehicle surrounded by the loaded guards.Once their bag arrived, they stepped out, and Samson’s jaw dropped watching an entire wing was closed to receive Margarita with hundreds of guards standing on the
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 77: Meeting the devil
As the door flung open, Margarita’s mercury orbs collided with a pair of similar spheres. Her smile spread when her mother looked up at her.She stopped glancing at him because she wanted to acquire his feature for more than the designated time. She shambled towards the open arms of her mom and snuggled into a deep warmth called home. With no words but ample tears, they exchanged the pain for being so far all this time.Adele caressed her daughter’s hair, complaining she didn’t take care of herself. As her flawless skin turned a shade pale, Margarita was mesmerized seeing her mom still look as beautiful as she was yesterday. The same feature and dominating aura could put every devil of this house on their knees.“Papa,” Margi whispered in her ears, stealing a curt glance at the man lying on the white bed.“Oh! Don’t worry. I think he wanted to announce the time for you to come back to him.” Adele winked. Margarita chuckles through her tears, watching Adele roll her eyes.“Mom,”“What?
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 78: Challenge
The house of emotions could only stand solely on the firm foundation of love. If love is not there, then the walls of emotions will not sustain the weight of deep-wracking events of life. Margarita never thought the day she ruminate a hundred times in her mind would come and imprint her heart in such a gratifying manner.Her heart was dancing in euphoria; she couldn’t keep the happiness of being so close to her dad. If asked at this moment what her wish was, she might not answer this question. All her desires and wishes have come true. All this time, her house of emotions was out of order, but as the foundation of love engulfed her, everything fell correctly.They came home, and she discovered a new way to pursue that architecture. It was not the haunted memory of Ethan anymore, but the peace she made with him.“Welcome home, Jellybean.” Decker’s side hugged her, not allowing her to step away from the moment she came. It was not her, but he also emitted the suffering he had all these
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 79: And she says, she doesn't like my kiss..
Decker is sitting on the table as the head of the family, next to which Adele is her power source, watching Mateo, Margarita, Evan, and Samson lying serenely.The hot food was served on the table, passing this cold environment a slight warmth.“Minestrone soup,” Adele smiled and advanced towards Samson.“This one is Margi’s favorite.” Particularly, the ladies of this house identified how to spread warmth. Otherwise, these men had decided to kill a person with intense stares.“Samson, what you used to do?” Decker glanced over at the steaming vapors showing up from the soup.“I own pubs in Austin and other states,” Margarita was surprised to see Samson putting effort into impressing her dad.“That is for others. What is your real job?” Samson consumed the lump, and the dilemma of telling the truth or hiding it whipped up. Yes, he owns pubs, but it was just a deception to convert blood money to a white one.“Tell him the truth,” not Decker’s words stopped his senses, but Mateo’s doubtful
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 80: Truth revealed
Mateo and Samson came out to an open parking lot. Hundreds of cars were parked, and there was not a single building he could see where the owner of these cars could hide. A single coffee house filled with a handful of people still didn’t justify dozens of vehicles.“What are you looking at?” Mateo casually took out a cigar and burned it.“Nothing. I am still trying to figure out where the pub could be?” Mateo smiled and waved his hands towards his men to let Samson enter.“You would be surprised,”They entered the coffee shop, buzzing with old melodies and crackles of elders.“This way,” Samson followed Mateo to the storage room, where he opened a basement door. He could feel the thundering sound underneath her feet; there was something down there, more than his expectations.As Mateo opened another door, Samson’s ears got hit by the booming sound, and the aura of silence and curiosity changed into hardcore music and sensualism. The desires dripping on every corner of the space, the p

THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 162: Final decision
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
THE DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 161: Time
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
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 DEVIL'S TRAP Chapter 157: His justice
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
