The Devil In A Suit Chapter 8
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.

Julian’s POVI felt like I was losing it.“You’re restless.” Cassiel smirked, watching me. There was really no point in denying it but I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.I exhaled through my nose in an effort to calm myself. He smirked, but there was something deeper in his gaze. Something knowing.“You’ve barely been here an hour, and you’re already pacing,” Cassiel mused. “Did you think you’d adjust so quickly?”I crossed my arms, not caring for the sarcasm. “I didn’t think I’d have to adjust to anything. This isn’t my home.”He took a slow step forward. “It is now.”My jaw tightened. “Not by choice.”He hummed, unconcerned. “Choice is a luxury, Julian. One you spent long before you ever met me.”I clenched my fists. I didn’t need reminders. I didn’t need Cassiel standing there, looking at me like I was some petulant thing throwing a tantrum over a life he’d already lost.“You can keep pretending you have control,” He murmured, closing the distance between us. “But we both know y

Cassiel’s POVJulian didn’t lock the door.Of course, he didn’t.I stepped out of the bathroom, a towel slung low around my hips, water dripping from my hair, rolling down my chest. I knew he could hear me—his breath hitched, a sharp inhale that cut through the heavy silence of the room.I didn’t acknowledge him. Not yet.The bedroom lights were dim, casting shadows along the walls. Julian sat on the edge of the bed, his back tense, his hands gripping the sheets like he was holding himself in place. Like he knew—He should leave.He wouldn’t.I crossed the room without a word, heading for the closet. I could feel his gaze on me, tracking every movement, the weight of it almost palpable. I let the towel hang a little looser, just enough to test him.He exhaled sharply.I bit back a smirk.The closet door creaked open. I reached for a pair of worn pajama pants, pulling them from the drawer, but then—I changed my mind.I turned back. Stepped out.Naked.Julian made a strangled sound—som

Julian’s POVI woke up alone.My body ached in places I didn’t want to think about, a lingering reminder of everything that had happened last night. The sheets smelled like sex — and Cassiel—rich, expensive cologne with an edge of something darker, typical him.I shoved them off in annoyance.“Idiot.” I rubbed a hand over my face, sitting up. “What the hell were you thinking?”I hadn’t been thinking. That was the problem. I’d let myself get swept up in his touch, in the way the bastard knew exactly how to unravel me for some reason. And now?Gone.No trace of him in the massive bedroom, no note, no message—nothing.My lips curled. Of course.“Typical,” I muttered, wondering what I had expected before swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. I grabbed a pair of pants from the floor, pulled them on, and padded barefoot into the hallway.The penthouse was silent apart from maids that were taking care of cleaning and I quickly had the breakfast they placed before me.If he wasn’t here,

Cassiel’s POVI placed my phone down on the desk, fingers tightening for a brief second before releasing. My gaze stayed fixed on the cityscape beyond the massive glass windows, but my mind wasn’t on the skyline.Julian had almost gotten inside.Too close.I exhaled through my nose, my jaw tightening. I should have anticipated this. Julian wasn’t a fool—he was stubborn, perceptive, and far too reckless for his own good. It had only been a matter of time before curiosity led him where it shouldn’t.But not yet.He wasn’t ready. Julian sure as hell wasn’t ready.The next time he gets that close…A muscle twitched in my jaw. I didn’t like dealing with threats — not when it came to Julian. But there were lines even I wouldn’t allow to be crossed.My fingers drummed against the desk. I’d have to handle it.And then the door flew open.Not violently. Not the way an enemy would enter.But with the kind of audacity that belonged to only one person.I didn’t move. I heard the sharp click of h

Third POVRenata walked away from Cassiel’s office and paused at the hallway before the secretary’s office. She pulled out her phone from her purse and dialed a familiar number then held her phone to her ear, her nails tapping against it in an impatient rhythm.The call connected and the voice on the other end spoke in a hushed, almost amused tone.“Your breathing sounds tense, Renata.”Her jaw tightened. “Tense? Tense would be an understatement.” She exhaled sharply, her eyes closed in an effort to stem the irritation she felt. “Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve seen him?”A pause.“Cassiel?”“Who the fuck else?” she snapped, her patience wearing thin.A chuckle. “Careful, querida. You don’t usually let a man rattle you.”Renata’s grip on her phone tightened. “Don’t be fucking stupid. This isn’t about him rattling me.” She leaned forward, pressing her elbow against the wall. “It’s about that little purchase of his. The one that was supposed to be a passing amusement.”“Ahhh,”

I glanced at the darkened skyline beyond my office window, loosened my tie and was about to pour myself a drink when my phone buzzed. I answered after noting the caller ID was from the penthouse and tensed. The maids only called me if there was an emergency. Julian I snatched it up. “Speak.” A hesitant female voice came through the receiver. “Sir, it’s Lucia.” I frowned. One of the maids. “What is it?” “It’s about Mr. Julian.” My grip on the phone tightened. “What about him?” Lucia hesitated. “He… hasn’t left the bedroom all day, sir. He refused lunch. We tried to coax him, even Mrs. Rojas spoke to him, but he won’t eat.” My eyes darkened. Mrs. Rojas was one of the older maids, a woman with a voice as warm as fresh bread and the patience of a saint. If Julian had refused even her— I exhaled slowly, my jaw ticking. “Prepare dinner,” I ordered. “I’ll be home soon.” “Yes, sir.” I hung up and immediately turned to Enzo, who was still lounging in the sofa across f

Third POVThe gunshot split the air like a thunderclap.Cassiel’s hand moved on instinct.In a single, fluid motion, he wrenched Julian by the collar and yanked him off the chair just as the windows behind them shattered. Glass rained down like a thousand jagged knives, sparkling under the chandelier’s glow.The maids screamed from the kitchen.Julian hit the floor with a grunt, but Cassiel didn’t let go. He flattened Julian beneath him, shielding him with his body as he pulled out his gun and aimed toward the broken window.Silence.Then—“Stay down.” Cassiel’s voice was ice-cold.Julian was breathing hard beneath him. “What the fuck—”Another shot.Cassiel rolled them both to the side, knocking over a chair just as a second bullet embedded itself in the mahogany dining table.His eyes snapped to the bullet’s trajectory.Rooftop. North side.“Fucking sniper.”Cassiel grabbed Julian by the back of the neck, hauling him to his feet. “Move.”Julian resisted. “Wait—”Cassiel shoved him t

Third POV“So Renata and Marco aren't related?” Cassiel asked, the document in his hand slipped on to the table as he spoke.“I guess those men mistook their relationship as a sibling relationship.” Enzo said, passing some pictures to Cassiel which he brought out from his bag.“This means they are lovers,” Cassiel said, concluding as he passed the pictures back to Enzo who carefully placed them back in a brown envelope.“Should we set them both up?” Enzo asked curiously, a sly grin playing on his lips as he scribbled something down on the paper passing to Cassiel to see.“I still need to punish her,” Cassiel said.Soon enough, a maid knocked and announced through the door that their food had been served and said Miss Maria asked her to serve them tea if they were still busy.Enzo asked the lady to come in. A fragile, deathly pale looking lady entered, she looked so weak but something about her seemed different. She had a solid look on her face as she walked to the table, dropping the

Third POVEnzo pulled off at Cassiel's garage, rushing to the other side to help open the door for Cassiel and also help Julian out of the car.“Come carry this in,” Enzo called two of the standby guards, throwing the bag and the basket of fruits to them.“I will wait for you in your study while you attend to Julian.” Enzo said the moment they stepped into the house.“I am sure he can handle himself right?” Cassiel asled, directing the question to Julian who didn't look fazed.“A quiet time without you in it would really help me recover.” Julian said, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he walked away from their presence, heading to the room.“Won't you go over and help him settled in?” Enzo asked as he made his way towards the study.“His grown enough to help himself out and look after himself too.” Cassiel responded, trailing behind Enzo who opened the door wide for Cassiel to come in.Enzo chuckled and shook his head, gesturing for Cassiel to take a seat. "I guess you're right," Enz

Third POVThe hospital Cassiel walked into the ward with a basket of fruits in his hand, dropping it beside Julian's bed. As Cassiel stepped closer, Jylina closed his eyes pretending to be asleep.“Are we doing this right now?” Cassiel asked frustratedly as he rubbed his temples slowly.Julian faced the other side of the room keeping mute, not saying a word to Cassiel.Cassiel sighed, setting the basket of fruits down on the bedside table. He knew Julian was upset, and he didn't blame him. He had been distant lately, and Cassiel knew he needed to make amends."Julian, look at me," Cassiel said softly, his voice gentle. "I know you're upset, and I'm sorry. I know I've been busy, but that doesn't excuse my behavior."Julian slowly turned to face Cassiel, his eyes narrowed slightly. "You're sorry?" he repeated, his voice laced with skepticism. "You're always sorry, Cassiel. But actions speak louder than words."Cassiel nodded, feeling a pang of guilt. He knew Julian was right. He had be

Third POV"Let's get one thing straight, Marco," Enzo said slowly. "I'll help you, but I need to know the truth. What's really going on?"Marco's expression faltered for a moment, and Enzo saw a flicker of something in his eyes. But then, Marco's face smoothed out, and he launched into a detailed explanation of his supposed ordeal.Enzo listened intently, his mind racing with questions and doubts. He was determined to get to the bottom of Marco's story, no matter what it took.Enzo exhaled a long sigh, his face facing the floor. He had enough proof that showed Marco was lying but he needed to tread carefully.“I will speak with Cassiel tomorrow once I get to him but for now, let's get you a place to stay.” Enzo said standing to his feet as he walked over to his car, Marco trailing behind him slowly.Marco offered to drive Enzo who politely refused asking him not to treat him like a boss and just be himself, acting like he had believed his story.Enzo drove to a nearby hotel, booked a

Third POVJulian nodded slightly, his eyes already drifting shut. Enzo watched over him, feeling a sense of peace wash over him. He was just happy to see Julian. At least Cassiel would take his health seriously and he was more than happy to see him recovering.As Julian drifted off to sleep, Enzo sat beside him, holding his hand and watching over him. He knew he might have to cancel his meeting at the park, but he didn't care. Being here to support Cassiel and watch over Julian was all that mattered.The door creaked open, and a nurse entered the room, checking Julian's vital signs and adjusting his medication. Enzo watched her work, expressing his gratitude for her care and attention.After the nurse left, Enzo settled back into his chair, leaning forward to pick a bottle of water to help moisten his throat and watch over him. He sighted Cassel at the entrance of the ward. He let go of the bottle slowly, walking out of the ward.“Seems he places more trust in you than he does with me

Third POVEnzo dropped his phone on the couch, moving to his bedroom. Milo was giving him attitude because he didn't come home last night to feed him. He went to his bedroom to have a proper rest as there was little or nothing to do.As Enzo entered his bedroom, he was greeted by Milo's disapproving stare. The cat's tail was twitching, and its ears were folded back, clearly displeased about being neglected the night before. Enzo chuckled, feeling a mix of amusement and guilt."Sorry, buddy," Enzo said, scooping up Milo in his arms. "I know I didn't make it home last night, and I'm sorry about that."Milo meowed loudly, as if scolding Enzo for his absence. Enzo laughed, rubbing Milo's soft fur. "I know, I know. You're the real boss around here, and I should've been here to feed you on time."Enzo set Milo down on the bed and headed to the kitchen to feed him. As he poured the cat food into Milo's bowl, the cat followed him, rubbing against his legs. Enzo smiled, feeling a sense of comf

Third POVEnzo looked up at Cassiel, his eyes slightly unfocused. "I... I think I'll be fine," he said, his voice slurred. "I've driven in worse conditions than this."Cassiel raised an eyebrow, his expression concerned. "Enzo, you're not even standing straight. I don't think you should be driving," he said, his voice firm.Enzo waved his hand dismissively. "I'll be fine, Cassiel. Don't worry about me," he said, taking a step forward and stumbling.Cassiel sighed, standing up and catching Enzo by the arm. "You're not going anywhere," he said, his voice firm. "You'll stay here tonight and sleep off the booze."Enzo looked up at Cassiel, his eyes glassy. "But... my car," he protested weakly.Cassiel chuckled. "Don't worry about your car. I'll have one of the guys drive it home for you," he said, guiding Enzo towards the stairs.As they climbed the stairs, Enzo leaned heavily on Cassiel, his legs wobbly beneath him. Cassiel smiled wryly, used to Enzo's antics but still concerned for his

Third POVAs the night wore on, the silence between them became more comfortable, punctuated only by the occasional clink of glasses and the soft hum of the air conditioning. Enzo and Cassiel sat on the plush couch, surrounded by the dimly lit opulence of the living room. The whiskey and vodka mixture burned their throats, but they savored the sensation, enjoying the warmth it spread through their veins.Cassiel poured another round, his movements becoming slightly more fluid as the liquor took effect. Enzo watched him, his eyes narrowed slightly as he assessed his friend's mood. Cassiel's thoughts seemed to be a thousand miles away, his gaze drifting toward the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city."You know, Enzo," Cassiel said, his voice low and contemplative, "sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to leave it all behind." He gestured vaguely, encompassing the mansion, the organization, and the weight of his responsibilities. Enzo raised an eyebrow, watching Cassiel'

Third POVEnzo's eyes narrowed as he took in the scene before him. Isabella's face was covered with a black cloth, her body trembling slightly. Cassiel stood tall, his expression unreadable."I was investigating some leads," Enzo replied, his voice calm and collected. "I had to clear up some doubts."Cassiel's gaze intensified. "And did you?"Enzo nodded. "Yes, I did. And I think it's time we had a little talk, Isabella."Cassiel stepped aside, allowing Enzo to approach Isabella. Enzo's eyes locked onto hers, even though she couldn't see him through the cloth.He dragged her up, straight to the room Cassiel pointed at, throwing her inside the dimly lit room, removing the cloth on her face and the gag in her mouth.“Master Cassiel” she called out with horror on her face as she locked eyes with Cassiel.“I need not to tell you your punishment is death right?” Cassiel asked, drawing a seat for himself while Enzo stood behind him.“I am sorry Master Cassiel,” Isabella begged, rubbing her
