The Devil Has Feelings Too 29
AZZURRA We got back to the house in silence. The girl clung to Andrea the whole way, shaking like a leaf in the wind. I could still hear the man’s screams in my ears, but I could still smell the blood from Andrea’s gunshot. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Andrea didn’t say a damn word as she carried the girl inside, straight past the curious stares of the maids and into the living room. She sat down on the couch, adjusting the girl in her lap like she was some fragile doll. I sat across from them, not sure what to do. Andrea tilted the girl’s chin up. “Alright, sweetheart,” she said softly. “Tell me everything.” The girl hesitated, her lip trembling. Her eyes darted between us, like she was waiting for us to suddenly change our minds and throw her out. Andrea sighed. “You’re safe now. No one’s gonna hurt you. Just tell me what happened.” The girl swallowed hard, then whispered, “I was kidnapped.” My stomach twisted. Andrea’s jaw clenched. “Who took you?” “I...

AZZURRA The girl was adjusting well. It had been slow at first. She barely spoke, she flinched at sudden movements, and she ate like someone who was afraid her food would be taken away, but gradually, she started to change. She no longer hesitated before taking a second helping of food. She didn’t jump every time Andrea slammed a door open, which happened often. And, the biggest change of all, she smiled. Not often, not fully, but there were moments when her lips curved slightly, and her eyes softened. Andrea pretended she didn’t care. She acted like she hadn’t noticed the girl was warming up to them, but I knew better. I saw how she always made sure the girl had enough food, how she tossed a blanket over her when she fell asleep on the couch, and how she deliberately told stupid jokes just to coax a reaction out of her. It was nice. Almost peaceful. Then Adriano and Luna Vienna came back, and that peace shattered. The moment Andrea got the news, her entire demeanor changed

ADRIANO Azzurra blinked at me, then looked left and right as if she expected someone else to be standing beside her. “Are you… talking to me?” she asked, pointing at herself like she genuinely couldn’t believe it. I leaned back in my chair, watching her carefully, enjoying her confusion. “Yes, you.” She let out a breathy laugh, folding her arms across her chest. “Oh, so you can see me? I thought I had somehow become invisible during the course of these two weeks.” I exhaled sharply, pushing my chair back as I stood. Her eyes followed my every movement, but she didn’t step away. Not yet. I walked around the desk, taking my time, watching as her muscles tensed the closer I got. “Why weren’t you this cheeky with my mother around?” I asked, tilting my head. Her glare sharpened. “I could ask you the same thing.” I smirked. She wasn’t wrong. I took another step toward her, then another. “You should have put Andrea under check.” She rolled her eyes, scoffing. “No one pu

AZZURRA I should stop this. I should push him away, remind him that his mother was still in the house, that this was reckless and impulsive, that this was the worst idea I’d ever had. But when Adriano kissed me again, I forgot how to think. His hands gripped my waist firmly, his body pressing against mine, and I could feel the heat radiating off him. My breath came out in shallow pants as I tried to steady myself, but it was impossible with him this close. “This is a terrible idea,” I whispered against his lips, but my fingers betrayed me, curling into his shirt instead of pushing him away. “Then stop me,” he murmured, his voice dark and full of challenge. I didn’t. A sharp gasp escaped my lips as he lifted me effortlessly and set me on the edge of his desk. Papers scattered to the floor, but neither of us cared. His hands slid up my thighs, parting them just enough to make my breath hitch. Adriano let out a low, dark chuckle, his grip on me tightening. “I knew you wer

AZZURRA I had just had sex with my boss.Not just any kind of sex. The kind that left my legs shaking, my breath uneven, and my mind an absolute mess.I snuck down the hall like a fucking thief, my heart pounding with every step. If anyone saw me now, I’d be done for. I wasn’t even sure why I was sneaking. ĶI was a maid, I could technically go anywhere I wanted. But I felt exposed, like the evidence of what had just happened was written all over me.I slipped into my room and shut the door behind me, letting out a breath. I needed a moment to process everything.I had just fucked Adriano Giordano. On his desk. In his office.Holy shit.I flopped onto my bed, staring at the ceiling. What the fuck had I just done?I didn’t regret it. Not one damn bit. But still… this was dangerous. It wasn’t just that he was my boss, though that was bad enough, it was the fact that he was Adriano fucking Giordano. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.And yet, I had touched him.I let out a shaky laugh, running

AZZURRA When Andrea said we were going shopping, I had groaned. But when she clarified that it was for Mia, I was pacified. Shopping for a little girl was different. It wasn’t going to be the usual ridiculous spree where Andrea dragged me from one expensive store to another, making me try on things I would never wear. At least, that’s what I thought. Hours later, I regretted everything. Andrea shopped for Mia like she would shop for herself. Designer dresses, custom-made shoes, and accessories that I didn’t even think a child needed. She even got the girl a tiny diamond bracelet. “Isn’t this too much?” I whispered as Andrea casually handed over a black card to the cashier, ignoring the ridiculous amount on the screen. She gave me a look like I had just spoken blasphemy. “Too much? She’s been wearing the same ugly clothes for God knows how long. Let her be a little princess for once.” I sighed. There was no winning against Andrea when she was like this. After we had enou

AZZURRA The car was silent for a while as we sped down the road. The air smelled like gunpowder, and my hands were still shaking from the adrenaline.Andrea sat beside me, holding Mia close, while the guards in the front seat kept their eyes on the road.I exhaled slowly, leaning my head back. "Well... that was fun."Andrea snorted. "You call that fun?"I turned my head to look at her. "I've had worse days."She smirked, but there was something else in her expression. Something thoughtful.Mia, who had been shaking like a leaf, finally spoke up in a small voice. "They wanted to take me."Andrea tightened her arms around the girl. "They’ll never get that chance again, I promise."Mia nodded against her shoulder, but I could see the fear in her eyes.I reached out, brushing her messy hair out of her face. "You're safe now, okay?"Mia finally looked at us, her dark eyes unreadable. “They don’t just let people go. If they found me, it means they’ve been looking.”A heavy silence filled t

AZZURRA Andrea and I stood in front of Adriano’s desk like a pair of misbehaving children caught sneaking out past curfew. His face was thunderous, his fingers drumming an impatient rhythm against the dark wood.“Do I even need to ask?” Adriano’s voice was tight with barely restrained anger. “Or are you two going to explain why the hell you couldn’t leave this house and come back without causing trouble?”Andrea folded her arms, her chin lifted defiantly. “It wasn’t exactly our fault—”“It never is,” Adriano cut in sharply, his icy eyes pinning her in place. “And yet, every damn time, you somehow find yourselves in the middle of chaos.”I stayed silent, letting Andrea take the brunt of his wrath. She had the bigger mouth, anyway.His gaze flickered to me, unimpressed. “And you. You ditched your guards.”Andrea scoffed. “We didn’t ditch them. We just—”“Escaped,” Adriano finished for her. “Like reckless idiots.”Andrea’s jaw clenched, but she didn’t deny it.Adriano sighed, rubbing hi

AZZURRA An explosion of fire burst inside me, spreading from my stomach to the tips of my fingers. My blood sizzled. My body tingled. I couldn’t breathe. The press of his lips against mine hit me with such intensity my first response was to push him away. I brought my palms up to his chest to shove him as hard as I could, but when he nipped at my bottom lip and then licked it, soothing the sharp sting with his tongue, want filled my veins with boiling water. A moan traveled up my throat. My fingers curled, and I scraped my nails down his stomach, stopping at his belt buckle. He hissed against my lips and then slid his tongue inside my mouth. I felt that wet glide between my legs. Just the knowledge that his hands were on me sent a tremble through me, but the feel of them, the palm sliding over my hip to the curve of my ass; the gentle yet unyielding grasp on my throat incinerated any of the resistance left in me. I swayed toward him, my body melting against his. His lips le

AZZURRA "You look like shit by the way.” “Sorry Beta Leonardo for my shabby dressings," I said, then to myself I muttered as I pushed myself up, "I could have easily taken my bathe and dressed fancy while being locked up. Where’s your Alpha? Too busy doing other things?" What the fuck was I saying right now, I sound needy. His face darkened immediately. He grabbed my arm, a little too tightly. “Don’t talk about him like that. He is your alpha too.” I ripped my arm out of his grip, rolling my eyes. Whatever. Save your loyalty speech. "I am going back inside.” Leonardo’s eyes bulged. “Are you out of your fucking mind?” “People say that a lot,” I shrugged. He stared at me like I’d grown two heads. “You’ve just escaped that crazy bastard, and now you want to waltz back into his mansion?” “There are women and children in the basement,” I said firmly. “Locked up, starving. I’m not leaving them.” “No way,” he said, crossing his arms. “You’re not going anywhere near that place. A

AZZURRA I thought I was safe. I really did. Dressed as a maid, I had managed to blend in, and the woman who had walked in earlier didn’t even take a second glance at me.But just when I was about to sneak out again, the door burst open, and she stormed in.“You! Come here and help me dress,” she snapped, flipping her long black hair over her shoulder.I blinked. “Me?”“Of course you! Do you see anyone else in the damn room?” she huffed.Shit. I had no idea how to dress a rich woman. I’d barely managed to tie the stupid apron on myself.I followed her into her room, my eyes wide as I took in the giant mirror and the expensive perfumes on her vanity. She sat on a velvet stool and pointed to the fancy green dress on the bed.“Help me put that on.”I picked up the dress and stared at it like it was some kind of puzzle. There were way too many buttons, ties, and tiny clasps.“Are you new or just stupid?” she muttered.Before I could answer, or fuck something up, the door opened again. A g

AZZURRA The room they kept me in smelled of dust and mold. The window was too high for me to reach, and the door was locked from the outside. I sat on the cold, hard floor, pulling my knees to my chest. I had no idea how long I’d been there, hours, or maybe a day. My stomach growled, but they hadn’t brought me any food. My throat was dry, and my head hurt from the constant tension. I tried to think of a way out, but the door didn’t budge when I tried pushing it earlier. These bastards knew what they were doing. I wasn’t going anywhere unless they let me out. Eventually, I heard footsteps. The lock clicked, and two men walked in. One of them grabbed my arm roughly, hauling me to my feet. “Get up. The boss wants to see you,” he grunted. I yanked my arm free, glaring at him. “You don’t have to drag me like a damn animal.” He just smirked. “Keep talking, princess. See where it gets you.” The other man tossed a dress at me. It was red, flashy, and way too tight for my liking. “Put

ADRIANO I leaned back in my chair, swirling the amber liquid in my glass as Leonardo went over the plan again. The dim light of the room made shadows dance across the walls, giving the place an almost scary atmosphere. I didn’t mind it, though, darkness was comforting. “So, we have to make sure none of the boys catch on that we’re onto them,” Leonardo said, his tone clipped. “If we move too soon, they’ll scatter like rats. We need proof before we make a move.” I nodded, taking a slow sip. “We’ll set up a decoy shipment. Something valuable but not too crucial. If they try to intercept it, we’ll have them cornered. Make sure the right word gets out so it draws them in.” Leonardo smirked. “Already on it. I’ve got a few guys spreading rumors about a high-end weapons stash coming in next week. Should be enough to get their attention.” “Good.” I set the glass down, tapping my fingers on the table. “Once we catch them in the act, we make an example. Can’t have the rest of the crew

AZZURRA The car Luna Vienna had arranged for me was waiting at the entrance, sleek and intimidating, just like the man I was supposed to deliver the parcel to. I held the small package tightly, my hands shaking as I stepped into the backseat. I couldn’t believe she was sending me to Massimo De Luca. Of all people, why him? My mind was racing, trying to figure out why. Why me? Why did Luna Vienna choose me, of all the other servants, to deliver this package to the most ruthless mafia don in the city? It didn’t make sense unless she knew. Unless she had done a little digging into my past and found out about my mistake. I bit my lip, staring out the window as the car glided through the city streets. The dress Luna had provided clung to me like a second skin—black, elegant, but modest enough to not draw too much attention. The invitation card she’d handed me was embossed with gold lettering, a formal request to attend some kind of charity gala hosted by Massimo himself. I couldn’t

AZZURRA The late morning light seeped through the thin curtains, casting a warm, amber glow across the room. I stirred, my body still sensitive and buzzing from what had happened. As I slowly regained consciousness, I felt the comforting weight of Adriano's arm draped possessively across my waist. His breath was soft and steady against my neck, his bare chest pressed against my back, radiating heat. My cheeks flushed as memories from just a few hours ago washed over me. His hands gripping my hips, his lips tracing a line down my throat, and his low growl vibrating through my skin. I couldn’t help the small, contented sigh that escaped my lips. It felt surreal, lying here with him like this. I hadn’t expected to fall asleep afterward, not with my heart still racing and his touch imprinted on my skin. Carefully, I shifted, attempting to slip out from under his arm without waking him. Adriano murmured something in his sleep, his hold tightening momentarily before relaxing again.

AZZURRA My breath caught in my throat, and I couldn’t help the shiver that ran down my spine. I wanted to deny the flutter in my stomach, but his touch was making it impossible to think straight. “You were reckless last night,” he said, his voice thick with something darker. “Dancing with strangers, wearing something that barely covered you... did you want to be punished?” My cheeks flamed, and I couldn’t bring myself to meet his gaze. “I didn’t—” He cut me off by pressing his lips to mine again, capturing my breath in a heated, demanding kiss. His hands gripped my hips, pulling me flush against him. I could feel the hard lines of his body through the thin fabric, and I couldn’t suppress the moan that slipped out. Adriano took that as encouragement, deepening the kiss, his tongue brushing against mine. He pulled back just enough to speak, his lips brushing mine. “You’re a menace, Azzurra,” he murmured. Before I could respond, he guided me back to the bed, his hands firm but not

AZZURRA I woke up to a brutal headache pounding against my skull, my body aching in ways I wasn’t sure had anything to do with the alcohol I had consumed last night. A groan escaped my lips as I turned my face into the pillow, trying to block out the cruel morning light. The scent surrounding me was unfamiliar yet strangely intoxicating, masculine, dark, and undeniably my boss. My eyes snapped open. What the fuck?I pushed myself up too fast, and the room tilted violently. I gritted my teeth, waiting for the dizziness to pass, and that’s when I noticed the unfamiliar sheets tangled around me. Dark, expensive, and definitely not mine. I turned my head slowly, my breath catching in my throat when I took in my surroundings. This wasn’t my room. It was his. Shit.Panic clawed at my chest as I tried to recall how the hell I ended up here. The last thing I remembered was Adriano dragging me out of the club, throwing me into his car, and then… Then what?My eyes widened as
