The Devil’s Embrace Chapter 23
Damian sat on the sofa with his breathing becoming more regular, though his face still looked dark. The wine in his glass was placed unceremoniously on the table, no longer attracting his attention. Yara, who was still sitting next to him, watched carefully. This is a chance to know more, she thought. If she could understand Damian's wounds, maybe she could find a way to conquer the man."Damian," Yara called slowly, making sure her voice didn't provoke any more emotions. "I want to know something. About... Mrs. Dania. What exactly happened to her?"Damian turned his head quickly, his gaze piercing. There was doubt in his eyes, but Yara held that look, waiting for his answer."You want to know about my mother?" Damian asked in a low voice, almost a whisper. Yara nodded slowly. "You said she's been sick for eighteen years. That's a long time, Damian. I just... want to understand. What made her like that?"Damian sighed heavily, his body leaning back against the couch. His hands clench

Damian sat in a large chair behind his dark wooden desk. One hand rubbed his temple, while the other clutched the half-filled whiskey glass. In front of him, Hugo stood tall, his face serious as ever. "It's been a month, sir," Hugo said quietly, "and still no word of Madame Dania." Damian was silent for a moment, staring blankly at the surface of the table. His jaw hardened before he gulped down the rest of his drink in one gulp. "Continue the search. I don't care how much it costs, how many people we have to mobilize. I want my mother back." His voice was deep, full of firmness. Hugo nodded. "Yes, sir. But... there is one other matter that needs to be discussed." Damian turned his head, giving his assistant a sharp look. "What?" Hugo seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally said, "About Felix Lucano." Behind the slightly opened door, Yara stood still.At first, she was just passing by and was about to return to her room. However, when she heard that name, her steps

Yara looked at her reflection in the mirror. The dark blue dress fit her perfectly, but her thoughts were far from clothes. She wanted to know about Felix Lucano. However, it was difficult because Yara was completely confined. Damian suddenly walked into the room, giving Yara a small gasp. "Get ready. We're going out today," he said as he leaned against the door. Yara frowned. "Out?" Damian nodded, his eyes scanning Yara from head to toe. "You've been cooped up in here for months. I think you need some fresh air." "Are you afraid of me running away?" Yara asked in a teasing tone, trying to hide her nervousness. Damian only smiled slightly. "You won't be able to run away from me, Yara." Yara and Damian arrived at a luxurious shopping center in the heart of the city. The crystal chandeliers sparkled. Yara let out a long breath, enjoying the sensation of freedom even though she knew it was false. Damian walked beside her, hands in his pants pockets, occasionally turning to

Damian's car stopped in front of the mansion. Yara opened the door before the driver could. She got out at a leisurely pace, though her mind was still racing about the person who had followed them earlier. Damian got out without saying anything. His face remained as cold as ever. Without turning to Yara, he walked into the mansion. "Mr. Damian," greeted one of the servants, bowing respectfully. Damian gave him a quick glance and continued walking. Yara sighed, following behind him. She wanted to talk, but ever since the car ride, Damian seemed very unwilling to be disturbed. Just as they reached the living room, Damian suddenly received a phone call. He glanced at the name on the screen: Hugo. "What's wrong?" he asked as soon as he picked up the phone. Yara sat on the sofa, watching him. She couldn't hear the voice on the other end, but the look on Damian's face changed. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Where?" Damian's voice sounded sharper. Yara was getting curious. "Ok

Eleven o'clock at night. Hugo helped a semi-conscious Damian into the mansion. The smell of alcohol was strong from his employer's body. Yara, who had been waiting in the living room, stood up and approached them with a worried expression. "What happened?" asked Yara while looking at Damian who could barely stand upright. Hugo let out a long breath. "Mr. Damian... he's getting frustrated. Searching for Mrs. Dania all this time without success, the pressure is mounting. He's been drinking too much." Yara bit her lip, her mind racing. The Damian she knew was tough, but she had never seen him in this state. "I'll take him to his room," Yara said, trying to take Damian away from Hugo. "Are you sure you can?" Hugo hesitated. Yara nodded. "I can handle it." Hugo finally handed Damian over to her. With difficulty, Yara led the man up the stairs to the room. Once there, she pushed open the door and guided Damian to the bed. Damian collapsed onto the bed, rubbing his face roug

Damian sipped his coffee quietly, his eyes briefly glancing at Yara sitting across from him. The girl seemed focused on her food, but there was a tension in her shoulders. Yara herself tried to ignore Damian's gaze. However, when she saw some leftovers at the corner of the man's lips, her hand moved reflexively. With her fingertips, she wiped the stain from the corner of Damian's lips. Damian froze. His eyes stared intently at Yara, while his heart beat faster than it should have. Yara fell silent, realizing her folly. But it was too late. Her fingers were still touching Damian's skin, and the man's gaze seemed to lock her movements. Silence. Then Damian smiled a small smile, a smile that was hard to interpret. "You're starting to notice me, hm?" Yara hurriedly withdrew her hand, clearing her throat awkwardly. "I'm just uncomfortable watching someone eat messily." Damian stifled a laugh, taking another sip of his coffee before saying, "A reasonable excuse, Yara." Yara

Inside the skyscraper that was his business center, Damian sat in a black leather chair with a cold face. His office was on the highest floor, giving him a wide view of the city, but at the moment he didn't care about that. In front of him, Hugo stood with a serious expression, handing over some documents to his boss' desk. "Our stocks have plummeted in the past two days, sir. There are indications that someone has hacked into the company's internal systems and spread false information to the media. Investors are starting to panic," Hugo reported in a stern voice. Damian stared at the numbers on the report with a hardened jaw. "Asshole. I already know who's behind this." "Who do you think this is?" Damian threw the report onto the table roughly. "Who else if not that bastard? Nathaniel Black." Hugo nodded. "Nathaniel does have a motive. He's been wanting to bring you down for a long time, and with our business getting bigger, he must feel threatened." Damian chuckled, bu

In a dark room lit only by a computer screen, Hugo sat with a serious expression. His fingers were nimbly typing on the keyboard, while the screen showed Nathaniel Black's corporate system slowly eroding. A few minutes later, one of Nathaniel's main networks was completely paralyzed. Hugo grinned with satisfaction. "Goodbye, your illicit business, Nathaniel." It didn't take long before his phone vibrated. It was from one of Nathaniel's panicked men. "What's going on?! Why is our system completely down?" the voice on the other end sounded frustrated. Hugo chuckled. "You've hit the nail on the head. I was just following orders." "You-" Without waiting any longer, Hugo disconnected the call and immediately called Damian. Inside the room, Damian was still awake. He was leaning against the headboard with Yara fast asleep on his chest. His cell phone vibrated, displaying Hugo's name on the screen. Carefully, he picked up the phone without waking Yara. "What?" "Working as o

A few days later, liquor bottles littered the floor. The room was a mess, full of documents that Damian had thrown around. Cigarette smoke still billowed in the air, signaling how chaotic his mind was at the moment. Damian sat in a chair with his head bowed, his fingers clutching a glass that was almost empty. His eyes were red, his face crumpled. A few days of no sleep and a lot of alcohol made him look like a man on the verge of losing his mind. The door opened. Hugo entered with a serious expression, but upon seeing Damian's state, he could only let out a long sigh. "Sir, you need to stop like this," Hugo said, taking the bottle from Damian's hand. Damian raised his head slowly, staring at Hugo with a sharp gaze. "You think I can relax, huh? Yara's still out there, probably being tortured, probably..." Damian stopped, his jaw hardening. He couldn't imagine the worst-case scenario. Hugo tried to remain calm. "We're still looking, sir. Ricardo is too cunning. He doesn't use

Damian stood by his mother's bedside, his eyes still fixed on her pale face. However, his reverie was broken when his cell phone vibrated in his coat pocket. With a quick movement, he pulled out the phone and looked at the name on the screen. One of the servants at the mansion. "What is it?" Damian's voice was cold, slightly impatient. "Sir, it's an emergency," the servant's voice sounded panicked. "Miss Yara... she's not at the mansion. We've searched the entire area, but-" Damian immediately gripped his cell phone tightly. "What do you mean no one?" "We believed she was still in her room since morning. But when we checked again, it was empty. It looks like she ran away, sir." Damian's breathing became heavy. His jaw hardened. "Asshole. That little girl is really looking for trouble."Without another word, Damian immediately switched off the call. His hands clenched into fists, his temper peaking. "Hugo," his voice was sharp and deadly. Hugo, who was standing in the

Yara only realized something was wrong when her breathing became heavy. Her vision began to blur, her head felt unusually dizzy. She tried to move her legs, but her body relaxed instantly. She raised her hand to her neck, feeling something strange. "You... What are you doing...?" her voice was soft. The man smiled wryly, his eyes flashing triumphantly. "I'm just helping you rest for a bit, Miss Yara." Yara tried to back away, but her body was losing strength. The world around her began to spin. The man was still looking at her with a triumphant gaze. "Damn..." That was the last word that escaped her lips before everything turned dark. ***When Yara came to, her head felt heavy, her eyes hard to open. Slowly, she tried to move her body, but something held her back. Both her hands were tied behind the chair, as well as her legs. She gasped, immediately opening her eyes. The room was dark, lit only by a dim lamp in the corner. The smell of dust and iron filled her nose. Her

Yara was now walking carefully through the city streets. She managed to get out of the mansion without being spotted. Yara still wanted to find information about Felix Lucano. Although the man was like a shadow-not easy to find, as if the man had deliberately eliminated his traces. Yara sat on a park bench after almost two hours of searching for information. Her hands were busy on her phone, typing Felix Lucano's name into a search engine, but nothing came up. All that came up was old information about his company, Lucano Group, with no news of his current whereabouts. "Where should I look for you, Felix," she muttered in frustration. Yara bit her lip, resisting the urge to give up. After all, this was about the past of the man she said was her biological father. Yara closed her eyes for a moment, recalling how her mother had always avoided talking about Felix. If only her mother wasn't sick anymore, maybe Yara could have urged her mother to tell her about Felix Lucano. Someon

That morning, Damian and Yara sat at the dining table, enjoying breakfast. Yara seemed calm, occasionally stirring her coffee while glancing at Hugo who seemed busy with his cell phone. However, the calmness did not last long. Hugo's face suddenly turned serious after receiving an incoming message. He read the message carefully before finally raising his head, looking at Damian who had just arrived and sat in his chair. "Sir, we have news about Mrs. Dania.Damian, who was pouring coffee, immediately stopped his movements. He turned his head with a sharp gaze. "What?" "She was found in one of the hospitals outside the city. She is still in a coma," Hugo explained in a calm voice, but there was tension in his tone. The cup Damian was holding almost fell over, but he managed to control himself. "Who's taking care of her?""A man named Ferdo," Hugo continued. "He paid for Madame Dania's care all these years."Damian narrowed his eyes, his mind instantly filled with suspicion. "Fe

Damian was silent.His eyes lingered on Yara's face as she stared at him with conviction. She had just said something he shouldn't have heard-something he had been avoiding. "What did you say?" his voice sounded flat, but his eyes held a lot of emotion. Yara looked at him without hesitation. "I love you, Damian," she repeated clearly. Damian blinked once, then suddenly chuckled. His laughter sounded faint, like something he didn't really enjoy. He looked at Yara as if she had just said something ridiculous. "Love?" Damian repeated the word, as if to make sure he hadn't misheard. "Little girl, you don't know what you're saying." Yara kept her gaze on him, undaunted. "I know exactly what I'm saying." Damian smiled wryly. In an instant, his hands were wrapped around Yara's waist, pulling the girl closer. Before Yara could react, Damian's lips were already crushing hers in an intense way-full of passion, but also with frustration in them. Yara was surprised, but didn't resis

As the bedroom door closed, Damian looked at Yara with questioning eyes. "What do you plan to do now, my little girl?" Yara smiled meaningfully, then quickly pulled Damian's hands above her head. "Shhh... this time, let me take back control." Before Damian could protest, Yara had already tied his wrists with the tie she had just removed. Damian stared at the girl with raised eyebrows, a faint smile forming at the corner of his lips. "You want to play like this?" his voice was low, full of interest. Yara just smiled, then without hesitation she lowered her head, letting her lips trail gently down Damian's neck. "I wonder what it would be like if King Mafia couldn't do anything." Damian chuckled softly, but his breathing grew heavy as Yara continued down, her lips trailing along his jaw, then to his collarbone. Her free fingers brush against his skin, creating a tantalizing sensation that makes Damian stiffen. "Yara..." his voice trembled slightly, not from fear, but from th

In Damian's office, it was nine in the morning. Damian sat in his chair with an unpredictable expression. Hugo stood across the desk, looking at his boss with a meaningful gaze. "Mr. Damian, you've been sighing since earlier. Is there a problem?" asked Hugo as he folded his arms across his chest. Damian twirled the pen in his fingers, his gaze blank. "I don't know, Hugo. I think I'm going crazy." Hugo frowned. "Crazy how, sir?" Damian sighed again, longer this time. "I feel like I'm falling in love with Yara." Hugo looked at him with an incredulous expression, then shook his head. "Oh my, Mr. Damian. Do you realize what you just said?" Damian leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling. "I realize. And it sucks." Hugo chuckled, though there was a sardonic tone in it. "What about your grudge, sir? Have you forgotten your original purpose?" Damian was silent for a moment. His eyes hardened, but there was conflict in them. "I haven't forgotten, Hugo. I want him to f

Damian had just entered the mansion with calm steps. After a full day of dark business, his body felt a little tired, but his mind was still sharp. Hugo followed behind him, giving a brief report before finally leaving Damian alone. As Damian entered his room, his gaze immediately fell on Yara who was fast asleep on the bed. Her breathing was regular, her face looking peaceful under the light of the nightlight. Damian stood at the edge of the bed, staring at the girl unconsciously flashing a small smile. "Damn, why am I getting attracted to her?"Damian sighed, rubbing his face for a moment. Sure, Yara was originally just a tool for his revenge on Felix. But now? With each passing day, he became more and more unsure of his original intentions. She had wanted to wake Yara up, wanted to pull the girl into her arms, wanted to feel the warmth that had recently become addictive. But seeing Yara sleeping like that, he couldn't bear it. Damian finally moved to leave, but just as he t
