The Devil's Fire Kicking Ass
AlthaiaI was driving fast! I was loving the way the car was driving so smoothly and the way it sounded when I accelerated. This beauty was making me feel unstoppable.“You can slow down now.” Damiano said while scanning our surroundings as usual.“Are you scared?” I grinned. I was having too much fun driving.“No, but you lost Luca and Giovanni.” I looked in the rearview mirror, and sure enough, they were nowhere to be seen.“Oh, right, sorry. I just love this car so much!” I said excitedly and lovingly caressing the steering wheel. I slowed by a lot to give Luca and Giovanni a chance to catch up.“I knew you would.” He smiled as he watched me being excited.“At least you can’t be mad at me for losing them when you’re with me. You really got pissed when I lost Antonio that time.” I laughed. Damiano let out a chuckle and shook his head at me.“My hand was twitching badly that day. There was nothing more I wanted than to punish you for it.” I took a quick glance at him, squinting my ey

Damiano “That’s enough for today.” I told her after watching her fire the last bullet. Althaia let out a breath and rolled her shoulders from constantly tensing her body. She would definitely be sore after today. I watched her as she made sure there were no more bullets in the gun and the magazine before putting the safety back. I was impressed by her. She was a fast learner and fast with her hands. I had no doubt she would be great in no time as long as we kept practicing. “You did well.” I smiled, taking the gun from her as we made our way back to the table. “You think so?” She asked excitedly and I gave her a nod. “Better than Arianna when I was teaching her.” She let out a small gasp and smiled big. “No way! I am so going to throw that in her face. Who knows, maybe I will even be better than you. Better watch out, Damiano, I am coming for your throne.” Althaia chuckled. “Sorry to burst your bubble, love, but that’s not going to happen. Though I wouldn’t mind having you by my

Althaia “Hold the fuck up!” I shouted when I saw Luca and Giovanni pulled out their knives. “Why do you have a knife when I am completely unarmed?” “You stole fifty thousand from me. I’m here to teach you a lesson.” Luca had his crazy look on. I stared at him, feeling uneasy when I remembered him telling me how he loved to cut into people’s skin. “I won that money fair and square.” I let out a nervous laugh. “No.” He stepped closer to me, and I just blinked a couple of times, shifting around my feet as I had no idea if he was being serious or taking the piss on me. “Come on, Luca! You can’t be serious. Put the knife away.” I scowled and crossed my arms. “No.” He gave me a maniac smile, coming closer to me. My eyes widened and I uncrossed my arms, taking several steps back. What the fuck was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to fight them when they were armed and I was utterly defenseless? I looked at Damiano, seeing him observing us with his arms crossed and expression comp

Damiano “How come you want to train me all of sudden?” Althaia asked as I drove. “It’s just that you didn’t seem too happy about when Arianna wanted to train me.” “I know. At the time, Arianna had pointed out it would be for the best to train you after the night of the auction. I didn’t want to realize it back then, thinking I would be able to protect you at all times….” I frowned as I remembered back to it, seeing her covered in blood and looking completely lost. “I had to come to terms with I wouldn’t be able to control everything. And she was right. If I train you, at least I will know you would be able to defend yourself and stand a chance.” I said. That night when I found her in the woods haunted me for weeks. The way her body fell limp against my body, and the blood that kept flowing from between her legs had me freeze on the spot for the first time in my life. It all felt too familiar. The way Sienna had died in my arms, and now I had Althaia in my arms, fearing she woul

Althaia The sound of my stomach rumbling woke me up, reminding me just how hungry I actually was. I rubbed my eyes as I slowly sat up on the bed. I looked around with my tired eyes, seeing it was completely dark in the bedroom. I looked next to me on the bed but was met with an empty space. “Damiano?” I called out after him but got no response. I called again and listened for any movement in the house, but it was as quiet as it could be. Weird. Where did he go? I turned on the lamp on the nightstand next to me, seeing a small note attached to it. Come and find me. - The Devil. I found myself smiling at the note. Looked like someone was in a playful mood tonight. Either that or he got bored when I was asleep. I looked at the time, seeing I had been asleep for a good two hours. I scrunched up my face when I realized I had been sleeping for a long time and he definitely got bored. I was still naked, having me wonder if I fell asleep in the hot tub. It was too relaxing and I

AlthaiaI felt the world stop, and my heart was about to burst out of my chest as I looked at him.Damiano was down on one knee, smiling so beautifully as I got lost in his eyes that gleamed with endless love.“You have no idea how much you have affected my life. When I first saw you, you took my breath away. I thought you were the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. And I still do every time I look at you. You are my fire who saved me from the depth of the cold darkness. You are the reason for my existence. You are my innocent woman who blessed my eyes with her beauty and hypnotized me with her eyes. You are the beautiful love of my life. Althaia… Will you marry me?”My eyes welled up with tears. I was too stunned to say anything, barely believing my eyes that this was happening right now. I took a sharp intake of breath, forgetting to breathe for a moment. My heart was beating uncontrollably and tears ran down my face.There was no one else I would want to be with.There was no o

Althaia We were still lying outside when the sky started to brighten. I pulled the blanket up closer to my chest while resting my head on Damiano’s chest, his hand caressing my back as I went back to admiring the ring on my finger. I was on cloud nine. I looked up at Damiano and he was already looking at me with a smile while he was playing with my hair. “I was just thinking when did you get to place such a unique order.” I said and held up my hand to show the gigantic oval-shaped diamond ring. He must have planned this weeks ahead to get the ring handcrafted on time. “I placed the order while you were visiting your father. I went to retrieve it when you were still sleeping.” “You can get it done that fast?!” I asked in surprise. “You can say I’m kind of well-known around here. It has its perks and things get done a lot faster that way.” Damiano gave a cheeky wink, making me laugh. “Right, being the biggest fearing Mafia Don makes you only ‘kind of well-known’. People hear the

Althaia “I thought you got kidnapped! I was about to send out a search party! But then Lorenzo told me Damiano took you to Italy. You could have said something!” Cara scolded me with a frown as I watched her all cuddle up in bed while we were facetiming. I was outside by the pool, sunbathing and drinking my beloved iced coffee when I decided to call Cara but I had forgotten about the timezone. “I didn’t even know he was taking me to Italy to meet his family. He made it a surprise.” I tried to explain to her. “You could have sent a text or something.” She continued to sulk. “I’m sorry, but I’ve been kind of busy these days.” “Oh, yeah, I can see you’re so busy looking fucking hot while sunbathing in Italy.” Her sarcasm had me giving her a blank look. “Busy with what? Fucking Damiano all day?” “That too.” I wiggled my brows before we burst out laughing. “I’ve been getting my ass kicked a lot lately. Damiano has been training me and Giovanni and Luca showed me absolutely no mercy

Althaia“Maybe we should have gotten me a change of clothes before coming here.” I said as I walked out to them while looking down at the tank top I had taken from Damiano, pretending to be fixing it. I was actually fixing it because my nipples were almost showing.Damiano looked up from his phone. His eyes slowly trailed down my body and his gaze stopped at my barely covered breasts. Whatever he was doing on his phone could wait as he carelessly tossed it on the couch.He gave me a lazy smirk and motioned for me to come closer to him. With a gentle yet firm grip, Damiano wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me flush against his body.“What’s the need for clothes when I plan to have you naked the entire time?” He said with a mischievous grin on his lips. I blushed, not expecting him to say something like this in front of them.As if remembering there were other people in our room, he looked at them with a blank look.“What are you still doing here? Get out.” He told them sharply.
The Devil's Fire Our Beautiful New Life
Althaia I huffed and looked at the time. It was a quarter to four in the morning, and I was wide awake. Feeling horny. I turned to look at Damiano, who was sleeping peacefully next to me. I wanted him, but I didn't want to wake him up just to take care of my needs. He had a long day ahead of him, flying out to a meeting with Mr. Roberts, and other high-end restaurant owners. They saw the custom-designed wine bottles for Mr. Robert's restaurants, and how they attracted more customers. Customers loved the whole idea of taking a unique wine bottle home with them as a souvenir. Some even started to collect them. The sales went crazy and landed us a few more deals. I suggested that each restaurant have its distinct design as a trademark, but with Damiano's wine business name engraved. And he was going to meet them all and show them my sketch ideas. I would have gone with him, but since I was heavily pregnant, I couldn’t fly. Maybe it was because I knew he would be gone, and wouldn’t b
The Devil's Fire Forever & Always
Five months later The sun was high up in the clear sky, shining over the crystal blue water in the most enchanting way. Calilo was always a beautiful island, but today, it was even more breathtaking. The beach was elegantly decorated and rows of chairs lined up endlessly on the bright green grass. A mirrored aisle had been set up in the middle with either side decorated so stunningly with Angel’s and Devil’s trumpet flowers. At the end of the aisle was a grand gazebo with pillars decorated with colorful flowers. A crowd of people was present, chatting and finding their seats. By the gazebo stood Damiano, overlooking the crowd of their friends and families. Everyone had flown out to make sure to witness this special day. Damiano had a small crease between his brows, shuffling around on his feet for the first time in his life as he kept fixing his tie, double-checking to make sure he at least looked decent enough on such a meaningful day. “Nervous, brother?” Lorenzo walked up to him
The Devil's Fire Let It Burn
Althaia Ellie was already at the clinic, waiting for us when we arrived. The closer we got to the examination room, the more anxious I got. I was dreading it more than ever. To get that confirmation that it was another miscarriage. That another life was lost in me. I felt suffocated. Damiano, Antonio, and Giovanni were just as worried. No one bothered to mask their emotions as they were concerned for my well-being and what was going to happen. “So, what are we dealing with?” Ellie asked once she closed the door to give us some privacy while Antonio and Giovanni waited outside. “I took a pregnancy test, it was positive but… I’m bleeding and cramping.” I swallowed hard as Ellie listened carefully to me. Damiano stayed close to me, holding me as if I would collapse at any moment. What I loved about Ellie was that even though she knew us, she was still being professional and not letting us see if she was concerned as she listened to me. “Okay, we will do a blood test and do a transv
The Devil's Fire The Truth
Althaia My eyes welled as I could feel the pain, and my heart ached for them both. The fact that my mother was going to tell them, maybe even holding onto the hope that they could finally be together. But no. For her own protection, mine even, she had to accept that was how her life was going to be. And I couldn’t even imagine what Alexei must be feeling now. To know he was close to being told he was going to have a child with the woman he loved. But his own mother stood in his way and took the truth with her to the grave. Nestor looked completely taken aback as he looked at my mother and followed Alexei once he came to his senses. I was sure Alexei needed some time to think it all through. I didn’t say anything, giving my mother some time to gather herself. I looked at Damiano, he was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, already looking at me. I couldn’t tell if he was truly interested in the story or not as he wore a straight face. Then I knew he wasn’t interested wh
The Devil's Fire An Old Flame
Althaia As soon as Alexei drew out his gun, Damiano pulled me behind him and he and his men pulled out their guns as well, finger on the trigger and ready to fire. But then Nestor quickly pushed Alexei away when a knife flew right in between them, missing Alexei’s head by a hair. Surprised and confused, everyone turned to look in the direction where the knife came from. My mother had her brows pinched with her gaze locked on Alexei, ready with another knife in her hand. “Did you forget how she loved to do that to you?” Nestor sighed at Alexei. But he was too focused on my mother with a furious gaze. “Seems like her aim is off.” He sneered. “It’s not off, it was simply a warning. I got you once, and I can do it again.” My mother spoke calmly but had a whole different demeanor to her. My jaw was on the floor as I looked at them back and forth in pure shock. This whole damn thing had me completely dumbfounded. Wasn’t Alexei the one who had demanded to see her, and almost started a
The Devil's Fire Let It End
AlthaiaI didn’t think it was possible to feel more miserable than this. But I kept being dragged down into an endless, dark hole while drowning in fear and pure devastation.I was exhausted.Exhausted from everything that happened and exhausted from every single piece of information thrown at me. I still haven’t even processed the fact that Gaetano wasn’t my father. And then everything else followed as if trying to give me a heart attack by exposing the brutal truth to me.That my entire life has been a fucking lie.Twenty-five years old and I was suddenly having an identity crisis that appeared out of the blue. For so many years where it has just been me and my mother, living life together. But it turned out I didn’t even know who she truly was.My mother, who I thought I witnessed die, was somewhere in this safe-house.Well, and alive.I thought I was hallucinating when I saw her. Or maybe I was seeing a ghost. Or maybe I ended up in hell and this was my punishment. To be tormented
The Devil's Fire No More Secrets
Damiano“No. Stay here.” I stopped Jacinta when she tried to go after Althaia. I knew she would be shocked and in denial but I wasn’t prepared for this kind of reaction and run away.I gritted my teeth, walking as fast as I could in the direction she ran off. This fucking gunshot wound was limiting me too much.I stepped outside to the garden, watching her leaning against a tree to catch her breath.“Althaia.” I frowned, looking at the state she was in.“Stop! Just.. please stop. Don’t come any closer.” She closed her eyes, trying her best to control her breathing. I clenched my fists in frustration. Frustrated with me that I was the cause of this. I stood still, watching her cry and gasp for air. And I would rather get shot a hundred times more than see her like this.“How… How could you do this to me?!” Althaia shouted at me with so much anger than I had ever seen from her. Her innocent, green eyes turned into ones with a rage-filled storm.And betrayal.“I did what I believed was t
The Devil's Fire The Aftermath
DamianoAlthaia was shocked.Shocked to the point her body gave up under her and collapsed to the ground. I grabbed her and pulled her into me, gritting my teeth as I ignored my own pain when I saw the state she was in. I didn’t give two shits about Alexei at this moment, only worrying about her. She looked numb, lost, as she tried to comprehend what I just said. For once, Alexei kept quiet and had his men stand by as he looked at Althaia.His daughter.He hadn’t expressed what he thought of the situation. About him having a daughter. But he was pissed at her mother for keeping away and not telling him. Twenty-five years had he lived on with his life without knowing he had a child out in the world. And to make it worse for him, his daughter thought Gaetano was her father.An Italian man who married his woman“Come on, breathe, Althaia… There you go… Breathe.” She gasped for air and I felt how her entire body was shaking against mine. I held her tightly, even though I was struggling to
