The Devil In A Suit Chapter 47
Third POVThe two men went straight into an inner chamber, sitting across each other in a dimly lit room. The older looking man with a full grown beard around his face with different tattoos passed a cigarette to Enzo.“I don't take this.” Enzo declined politely, pushing back the box to him.The older man nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Suit yourself," he said, lighting the cigarette himself. He took a long drag, exhaling slowly as he leaned back in his chair."So, Enzo," he began, his voice low and gravelly. "I heard you've been having some issues with the customs officials."Enzo's expression remained neutral, but his eyes narrowed slightly. "Just a minor setback," he said. "Nothing I couldn't handle."The older man chuckled, a low rumble that seemed to come from deep within his chest. "I'm sure you handled it just fine," he said. "You've always been good at getting what you want, Enzo. But sometimes, it's not just about getting what you want. It's about knowing whe

Third POVEnzo got into his car, zooming off the dusty road, into the tiled road. He kept his gaze ahead of him, his mind reeling with a series of questions.Few hours later he finally drove into Cassiel's estate, pulling up at the garage as the guards on standby rushed towards him.“What's going on?” He asked them.“We don't know but the boss drove out in a hurry some hours back,” they explained.“And you didnt care to ask?” Enzo asked irritably, losing his tie as he kicked one of the guards in his groin. The guard fell to his knees, groaning in pain as he held his crotch in his hands.“We wouldn't dare stop him to ask, sir,” one of them tried to explain but with a wave of finger from Enzo, the guard stopped his running mouth from talking immediately.Enzo pulled out his phone and tried Cassiel's number multiple times but the call wasn't going through. He went back into his car, pulling out a small device from the back from his chair. He punched in some numbers but it just vibrated.

Third POVEnzo opened the lid of the energy drink Cassiel had passed to him, gulping down the content in a go. “I want to hear everything, leave no details out.” Enzo said as he faced Cassiel, his eyes on his every movement.“Is that meant to be a command?” Cassiel asked as he closed his computer.“I wouldn't dare boss” Enzo said, correcting his tone and posture as he sat diligently to listen.“The system beeped that an intruder had entered Julian's room with something deadly, I opened the camera but it was blurred, I couldnt see anything and that was why I put a call across to you.” Cassiel explained.“But I received a signal from you and it was from where I was at the moment that your call came through,” Enzo said, trying to decipher the meaning of the situation.“That might be a system error.” Cassiel suggested saying he never sent a signal to Enzo.“So did you drive recklessly down to the hospital and that led to the accident or am I being too forward?” Enzo asked calmly.“You ar

Julian’s POVThe air outside Cassiel Morelli’s estate was thick and stifling. Even with the cool night breeze brushing against my skin, I could feel the weight pressing down on my chest. The iron gates had locked behind me with a resounding clang, cutting off any chance of escape—not that I had anywhere else to go.I stood at the entrance, my fists clenched at my sides as the butler led me through towering double doors. The mansion swallowed me whole, drowning me in the feel of wealth that felt suffocating rather than impressive. Marble floors gleamed under dim chandeliers, casting ghostly reflections of me as I moved forward.I hadn’t been in a place like this in a long time. Not since my world had collapsed.Not since Cassiel Morelli had helped destroy it.The butler stopped at another set of doors, polished wood carved with intricate designs. He opened them with a slight bow, stepping aside.I squared my shoulders and walked in.Cassiel was waiting.He sat in a high-backed leather

Cassiel‘s POVI watched from the floor-to-ceiling window of my study, my gaze locked onto Julian’s retreating form.I had expected resistance but what I hadn’t expected was the hesitation.Julian was too proud to beg. Too stubborn to make desperate bargains—at least, that’s who he had been. But the man who had walked into my house tonight was different.I had seen it in his eyes. The exhaustion. The quiet, bone-deep fear.It had been… satisfying.A long time ago, he had tried to put me in handcuffs. Had stood in courtrooms and called me a criminal, a parasite feeding off society. And now, he was here, seeking me out like a lifeline.Poetic.I turned from the window as Enzo stepped into the study.“You let him leave?” He asked.I poured myself another drink. “He’ll be back.”Enzo crossed his arms. “You sure about that?”I took a sip, savoring the burn. “He doesn’t have another choice.”Enzo exhaled sharply. “And if he does?”I set my glass down, my expression turning cold.“Then I’ll

Cassiel’s POVThe underground club was a temple of excesses — soft candlelight flickered across dark velvet walls, and low music hummed beneath the murmur of the world’s wealthiest and most dangerous men. Here, the rules of the outside world didn’t exist. Deals were made with whispers, fortunes were lost with a glance, and power belonged to the one willing to pay the highest price.I sat in my usual place—an exclusive balcony overlooking the grand auction hall. From here, I could see everything, every desperate soul trying to sell themselves into favor, every predator waiting to devour them.But tonight, I wasn’t alone.The woman beside me was draped in an elegant black gown, her silver mask catching the dim light. She was poised, exuding an effortless grace that made others assume she was just another socialite on my arm. But those who knew better understood she was more than that.She swirled her wine, her voice smooth. “You’re quieter than usual. This place doesn’t entertain you an

Cassiel’s POVI watched Julian closely, my steel-gray eyes hidden behind the smooth mask. The younger man sat rigidly in the leather seat across from me, his jaw locked tight, his hazel eyes sharp with defiance. I could feel the energy radiating off him—anger, suspicion, exhaustion.And yet, he didn’t truly understand his situation. Not yet.The luxury car slid through the dark streets, heading toward an undisclosed location. I had made sure Julian wouldn’t remember the route. A touch of sedative in his drink was all it took. He had refused the whiskey he’d been offered earlier, but I had anticipated that. I had simply waited for the right moment, offering water instead.It took less than five minutes for his body to betray him. His grip on his thighs had loosened, his posture softening as his breaths slowed.The last thing he had managed was a sharp glare before his body gave out.Now, I sat across from him, my fingers tapping absently against his knee. The car’s headlights sliced th

Julian’s POVI stared at the masked man before me as I sat backstage after I had been bought by this stranger, a shiver running down my spine.I didn’t know who he was.But I knew — I might have just made the worst mistake of my life.My breath shuddered and my body tensed, heat rolled off me in waves.This stranger had won the bid for my freedom.And somehow, I felt I had never been more trapped than this moment. Regretting my decision wasn’t something I wanted to entertain since I had made up my mind not to stay with Cassiel but I had to admit that the feeling I kept pushing back was regret. ___________________The air in the room was thick with tension, the only sounds present was the crackling fire and the measured breaths we took. I watched as the stranger stood bare before me.The heat in the room had nothing to do with the fire.I watched as he tilted his head, gray eyes dark behind the mask. He reached forward, grazing his fingers along my shoulder. I didn’t fl

Third POVEnzo smiled, his eyes cold and calculating. "Yes, Cassiel. I'm sure you've heard of him. He's a... business associate of mine. One who takes a very... dim view of people who get in his way." He explained, slowly taking out his phone attempting to make a call.The customs official nodded hastily. "I- I think we can find a way to resolve this issue, sir. Let me just... check on a few things."Enzo leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. "Good. I thought you'd see things my way. Now, let's get down to business and clear those containers."The customs official quickly got to work, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he frantically tried to resolve the issue. Enzo watched him, his eyes never leaving the man's face. He knew that he had him right where he wanted him, and he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.After what seemed like an eternity, the customs official finally looked up, a relieved expression on his face. "It's done, sir.
The Devil In A Suit Chapter 45
Third POV"What's going on?" Enzo asked, his voice firm and alert. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he jumped straight off his bed, covering his body.“Your attention is needed at the port,” the other caller said, his voice shaking as Enzo snapped his eyes open.“Tell me the containers all arrived in good shape and none got missing.” Enzo asked, his heart beating faster than normal as he waited anxiously to be calmed down and go back to his sweet sleep."Affirmative, sir," the caller replied. "All containers arrived as scheduled, and none were tampered with or missing,” he said, Enzo released the breath he didn't realize he was holding.Before he could finally have his peace, the caller dropped another bombshell.“However, there's been an issue with the customs clearance process. It seems there's a discrepancy in the documentation, and the authorities are holding up the shipment." He announced in a low voice.Enzo's grip on the phone tightened. "Get it sorted out," he said, his vo

Third POV"I'll get my team on this," he said. "We'll track down the maid's location and see if we can get any leads on who gave Sophia the job." Enzo said reassuringly with a faint smile on his face.Cassiel nodded, knowing that his team would be thorough and will take approximately 24 hours to get it done since they have a lead. "I'll review the security footage," Enzo added. "See if I can find any clues about Sophia's movements before she..." he was saying when Cassiel's sharp gaze and voice stopped him.Cassiel's gaze snapped up, his eyes piercing. "Before she what?" he asked, his tone sharp as he spoke.“I meant before i rescued her” Enzo replied, correcting his tone.He stood to his feet, bowing his head as he exit the room straight to his car. He got in, loosened his tie, the night was still quite young.“A few drinks wouldn't kill,” he muttered to himself driving straight to the bar he could locate for a few rounds.He parked his car in the driveway, walking straight into th
The Devil In A Suit Chapter 43
Third POVEnzo strolled into the mansion with a haphazard breath, a feminine bag hung around his shoulder as he walked breathlessly close to Cassiel, whose gaze was fixed on the big black television screen right in front of him. Enzo couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between the dark screen and the opulent decor of the room.As he approached Cassiel, Enzo's expression changed from nonchalant to concerned. He could sense the tension emanating from Cassiel, and it seemed to be palpable in the air. Enzo's eyes scanned the room, trying to pinpoint the source of Cassiel's distraction.Cassiel's gaze remained fixed on the screen, his eyes narrowed in concentration. Enzo followed his gaze, but there was nothing on the screen except for the reflection of the room. He cleared his throat to announce his presence, and Cassiel's head swiveled towards him.Enzo's eyes met Cassiel's, and he was taken aback by the intensity of his gaze. Cassiel's eyes seemed to bore into his soul, as if s

Third POVSophia knew she was doomed. She had played with fire, and now she was going to get burned. She got flung into the back seat as Enzo got to the driver seat and zoomed off."She wanted to keep him calm and under control. But there's more. She was working with someone else, someone close to Cassiel." Sophia suddenly blurted out to ease the tension in the car. Telling everything to Emzo was better than facing the devil himself.Enzo's eyes snapped up, his gaze piercing. "Who?" he asked, his voice firm."I don't know for sure," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper."But I think it might be one of Cassiel's top advisors. Someone who stands to gain a lot from Julian's incapacitation." She added, her eyes on Enzo's every movement.Enzo nodded his head slowly, his thoughts racing through a thousand miles. There are many people who could work to bring Cassiel down but who exactly is pulling these stunts is

Third POVSophia's voice was laced with a mix of desperation and familiarity as she asked."You work for Cassiel, right?" She asked again.Enzo's expression turned guarded, his eyes narrowing slightly as he regarded her. "What makes you think that?" he asked, his voice neutral.Sophia's eyes locked onto his, a hint of recognition flickering in their depths. "I know Cassiel's operations, and the way you handled yourself back there… you're one of his men, aren't you?" She questioned, batting her eyelashes as she stared at him.Enzo's face remained impassive, but his eyes seemed to gleam with interest. "What do you want, Sophia?" he asked, his voice firm.Sophia's grip on his arm tightened, her eyes pleading. "Please, don't leave me. I know Cassiel. I can help you navigate his world. Just don't leave me alone here." She pleaded, tugging at his shirt.Enzo's expression softened slightl
