The Devil In A Suit Chapter 1
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

Cassiel’s POVJulian stood in front of my desk, his posture rigid, his sharp hazel eyes burning with defiance. The dim light from the chandelier above cast a soft glow on his face, highlighting the tension in his jaw as I could see it move. His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and I could see the faint tremor in them—anger, frustration, maybe even fear, though he’d rather die than admit it.The contract lay untouched on the mahogany surface between us. A silent war. A line he refused to cross.I leaned back in my chair, fingers interlocked. “I told you before, Julian,” I said, my voice calm, measured. “I don’t do charity. If you want my help finding your brother, you give me something in return.”His laugh was bitter. “Right. And what exactly am I giving you, Morelli? A warm body in your bed?”I exhaled through my nose, my patience razor-thin. “You think this is just about sex?” I reached for the glass of whiskey in front of me, swirling the amber liquid before taking a s

Julian’s POVThe drive back from the villa was suffocating.I sat stiffly in the passenger seat of Cassiel’s sleek black Aston Martin, the hum of the engine filling the silence between us. The events of the last twenty-four to forty-eight hours played on a loop in my head, each memory heavier than the last.Bash. The auction. The contract. Cassiel.My hands clenched on my lap as the city lights flickered past the tinted windows. We should have been heading straight to the penthouse — I had resigned myself to that much — but instead, Cassiel’s driver took an unexpected turn down a familiar street.My stomach twisted.It was my apartment.I hadn’t been back in days, but even now, the sight of the run-down building sent a wave of exhaustion crashing over me. The peeling paint, the rusted fire escape, the flickering hallway lights—it was barely livable. But it was mine.The car pulled into a spot effortlessly and the driver killed the engine.I turned to Cassiel, eyes narrowing. “Why are

Julian’s POVI didn’t sleep.Even after Cassiel left the room, the air remained thick with tension, his words lingering like cigarette smoke—You’ll beg me to keep you there.Like hell I will.The bed beneath me was too soft, the sheets too smooth. Everything smelled like him — a mix of leather and something darker, something that made my pulse spike every time it reached me. I should have been exhausted. My body ached, my mind was fractured, but rest was impossible in Cassiel’s world.I sat up, running a hand through my hair. This wasn’t working. I needed space. Air. Anything that didn’t feel like I was suffocating under Cassiel’s control.Get out. Now.Slipping out of bed, I padded toward the door, testing the handle. It turned easily. Not locked. The fact that he hadn’t physically trapped me should have been a relief, but somehow, it felt worse.He doesn’t need to lock you in. He already owns you.I shoved the thought aside and stepped into the dimly lit hallway, moving cautiously.

Third POVJulian returned home with a forced calm stitched into his every movement. His week-long vacation had been anything but restful. Behind the luxury hotel walls and scheduled solo explorations was a man spiraling through discovery, betrayal, and the kind of anguish that curled like smoke beneath the surface.Cassiel had been waiting for him at the entrance of the mansion, arms folded, wearing the softest smile. A smile Julian used to fall for, once. A smile that now felt like a blade hidden in velvet."Did you enjoy yourself?" Cassiel asked, stepping forward to press a kiss on Julian's forehead.Julian nodded. "It was what I needed. Time to think."He didn’t lie. He did think — relentlessly. About Bash. About the strange silences in Cassiel’s stories. About the hushed conversation he overheard weeks ago from the hallway. His brother had vanished in a whirlwind, and Cassiel's concern was too polished, too convenient. He knew something. Maybe everything.Inside the walls of their

Third POVThe soft gray hue of dawn crept gently across the sprawling city, casting long shadows over Cassiel’s king-sized bed. Sheets were tangled at his waist, the warmth of sleep still clinging to his skin as he stirred. But the space beside him was empty.Cassiel blinked slowly, adjusting to the early light. Silence hung in the room like a breath not yet exhaled. And then he saw him.Julian.He stood by the floor-length window, bare-chested, arms folded loosely across his torso. The city below stretched endlessly—a living mosaic of people, cars, lives—and Julian, in that moment, looked like a figure painted into stillness.Cassiel didn’t call out. He rose quietly from the bed, letting the morning air cool his skin as he tiptoed across the marble floor. Every step brought him closer until he stood just behind him, close enough to feel the calm tension in Julian’s shoulders.Without a word, Cassiel slid his arms around Julian’s waist, pressing his chest softly against his back. His

Third POVA part of him wanted to storm in there, demand answers, scream until the lies peeled off Cassiel’s skin.But the other part — the part that still felt the ghost of Cassiel’s arm wrapped around him an hour ago — just… broke.Tears gathered in his eyes, but he didn’t let them fall.Not yet.He turned and slipped away from the hallway as quietly as he came, feet barely touching the ground. Each step toward the bedroom felt like walking deeper into someone else’s story — one he no longer understood.When he reached the room, he crawled under the sheets, curling in on himself like a child.He didn’t cry.He stared at the wall instead, as if it might whisper some truth to make it all make sense.But the silence offered no comfort this time.Only emptiness.—-----------------------Julian awoke to the weight of an arm draped lazily over his waist, the heat of Cassiel’s body pressing softly against his back. It should have been comforting — it once was — but now, every inch of close

Third POVThe tea’s subtle aroma drifted between them. Julian wrapped his fingers around the warm mug, letting it heat his palms. He looked out the window, eyes catching the faint glow of stars beginning to form in the darkening sky.“I forgot how good quiet could feel,” he said softly, not looking at Cassiel.“Me too,” Cassiel replied, his voice low.A beat passed. Then another.Julian glanced at him. “You don’t always have to fix things with grand gestures, you know.”Cassiel met his eyes. “This wasn’t about fixing. Just… remembering who we are without the noise.”Their eyes locked for a moment longer, and something unspoken passed between them—an understanding, a truce, maybe even the fragile beginnings of something new.They returned to their food.The silence that followed wasn’t awkward or heavy. It was warm. Familiar.The kind of silence that only existed between two people who no longer needed to speak just to be understood.Outside, the night settled in.Inside, two souls sat

Third POVCassiel lifted Julian from the tub with ease, water streaming off both of them. He didn’t ask permission. He didn’t need to. The way Julian clung to him — legs wrapped around his waist, mouth pressed to his shoulder — was all the answer he needed.He laid Julian down gently on the bed, the towel long forgotten on the floor. For a moment, Cassiel simply looked at him—like he was memorizing him.“You still look at me like I’m something fragile,” Julian murmured, his voice hoarse.Cassiel leaned down, brushing their foreheads together. “Not fragile. Precious.”Julian’s heart skipped a beat. But before he could respond, Cassiel’s mouth was back on him — trailing down his jaw, then to his neck, marking him with every kiss. Each touch was like a slow burn. Worshipping. Possessive.Julian arched into him, gasping as Cassiel’s hands explored lower, his movements slow but deliberate. There was no rush. Just the rhythm of intimacy, of rediscovery.“Cassiel…” Julian breathed, gripping

Third POVRenata's eyes widened in shock, and she felt a wave of grief wash over her. She thought about all the things she would no longer be able to do, all the activities she would have to adapt to with a prosthetic arm.Dr. Smith continued, "We'll do everything we can to help you adjust to your new prosthetic, and we'll provide you with physical therapy to help you learn how to use it. You'll also have access to counseling to help you cope with the emotional impact of your loss."Renata nodded numbly, trying to process the information. She knew she had a long road ahead of her, but she was determined to face it head-on. She would not let Cassiel's cruelty define her. She would rise above it, and she would come out stronger on the other side.As the doctor and nurse continued to care for her, Renata's mind turned to Cassiel. She knew she would have to confront him eventually, to make him pay for what he had done to her. And she was determined to do just that.Back to Cassiel's Mansi

Third POV“What the hell did you do to me?” Renata yelled as she struggled and made futile attempts to raise her right hand.“I only returned the favour you gave to Julian and consider yourself lucky that I’m not in the mood to spilling your blood yet.” Cassiel said smugly, opening a bottle of strong liquor placed on the table, drawing some of the content out with the needle and syringe in his hand.He moved closer to her struggling self to get back on her feet. Cassiel shook the content in the syringe together to blend properly before injecting the fluids into her system.She instantly became still, her heartbeat fell immediately. She was more like half dead.“If I were you, I'd consider this as a warning and tread carefully,” he said, dusting invisible dust off his pants before making his way out. He got to the door and opened it before looking back.“If you’re lucky enough to be taken to the hospital within three minutes, you will be rescued but if you aren't so lucky… well, your a

Third POV“You are not planning on killing me right?” Renata asked curiously, looking around for ways to escape but as it was at the moment, she had been cornered.“That would depend on your attitude.” Cassiel responded, his long finger trailing the soft, smooth skin of her jawline.“But I did nothing to warrant getting on your bad side,” she said, trying to find out how much information he had been able to get his hands on.Renata's voice was laced with a mixture of fear and curiosity, but she tried to keep her tone light and nonchalant. She didn't want to provoke Cassiel any further, not when she was trapped in this situation.Cassiel's finger continued to trail along her jawline, his touch sending shivers down her spine. Renata tried to remain still, but she couldn't help the slight tremble that ran through her body."Your attitude is what will determine your fate," Cassiel repeated, his eyes locked onto hers. "If you're cooperative and forthcoming, I might just let you live. But

Third POVCassiel pulled off at the exquisite club, bobbing with different vibes and life in it. He got down from his vehicle, mingling with the crowd. No one seemed to recognize him as they were so caught up in their own business.The club was a melting pot of people from all walks of life, each one lost in their own world of music and revelry. Cassiel blended in seamlessly, his tailored suit and confident stride allowing him to move through the crowds with ease.He navigated through the throngs of people, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of the person he was looking for. The music was pulsating, the beat infectious, and Cassiel found himself moving to the rhythm as he walked.The club was a labyrinth of dark corners and dimly lit areas, with flashes of bright lights illuminating the dance floor. Cassiel's eyes adjusted quickly, and he spotted a figure standing at the bar, sipping on a drink.He made his way over, his movements fluid and purposeful. As he approached, the figur
