The Devil's Fire A Difficult Patient
Althaia I blinked away the tears. I looked up to see Damiano staring at me with his hands in his pockets, his thoughts and feelings hidden, as usual. “Okay, you’re all set here.” I looked down to see Ellie had bandaged my foot. “I’s not broken, but I would like you to come to the clinic to do a proper check-up. Until then, do not support on your foot, okay?” I gave a small nod when she smiled and went back to grab a wipe and gently dabbed around on my brow. “I really need to stitch you up now.” Ellie said, and my nose scrunched up involuntarily as I imagined the pain of being sewn in the face. “Fine.” I murmured, feeling relaxed enough to agree. Whatever she had given me was working. She pulled on a fresh pair of gloves, picked up the needle driver and tissue forceps, and moved closer to my face. Out of reflex, I smacked her hands away from me, almost making her drop the things in her hands. “Try not to hurt my wife.” My eyes shifted towards the doorway where Antonio stood. “Sh
The Devil's Fire No Filter
Althaia I let out a yawn as I woke up, carefully stretching my aching limbs. My entire body felt stiff, and my face was hurting from kissing the floor too many times. I looked over to where Damiano was sleeping, but his side of the bed was cold and empty. How does that man even function? He barely sleeps. I slightly shook my head and sat at the edge of the bed, trying to figure out how to get to the bathroom with my injured foot. I briefly considered hopping on one but immediately dismissed it as it would only make my body ache some more. So, with no other alternatives, I was forced to take the last option. To crawl. I tried my best to keep my injured foot elevated as I crawled on the floor, inching my way towards the bathroom like a fool. The room was literally the size of an apartment, and I was struggling. By the time I got there, I was out of breath, and I couldn’t tell if it was because of the condition I was in or if I was just really out of shape. Probably a mixture of both
The Devil's Fire Never Enough
Althaia “You don’t have an infection, which is great. Remember to keep your stitches clean and dry.” Ellie said and went to type into her computer once she was done examining me. “As for your foot, it’s a mild sprain. Are you keeping yourself off your feet?” “Damiano is carrying me everywhere and not letting me walk, so yes.” I lightly chuckled. “I’ve noticed. I'll get you crutches to use.” She smiled. “There is no need for them.” Damiano dismissed. “How am I supposed to move around, then?” I asked him. “You’re not supposed to. That way, I know you’re staying put.” He retorted with a raised brow. “But I need to move around at some point.” “I’ll carry you.” “…That can’t be healthy for me.” “She has a point.” Ellie backed me up. “See! You can’t argue with a doctor. She knows best.” I grinned at him. His eyes slightly narrowed at Ellie, but he didn’t argue with her. “Tomorrow then. You’ll rest today.” He said as a final order, which I agreed to. “Do you have any questions bef
The Devil's Fire Sofia
Althaia “What did you do on your little getaway with Damiano?” Cara asked as she shoved her face with popcorn. Arianna and Cara brought a bunch of snacks as we all lounged on Damiano’s bed. I had planned on taking a nap after my shower, but since I wasn’t tired at all, they came to keep me company since I wasn’t allowed to move per Damiano’s order. “I don’t want to hear details.” Arianna said in a warning tone, and Cara let out a scoff. “I do! I want to hear every single bit of it. Tell me, is he big?” Cara’s grin was removed when Arianna smacked her face with a pillow. “Don’t be disgusting! He’s your brother-in-law!” “So? I want to know if big dicks run in the family.” She replied and Arianna gagged, which only made Cara smirk. “I will even start by saying Lorenzo has what I call a monster cock. It felt like he ripped my vagina in two!” I burst out laughing when Arianna put her in a headlock with her hand clamped against her mouth to make her stop talking about Lorenzo’s ‘packa
The Devil's Fire My Mistakes
Damiano “Take her away. I’ll deal with her later.” I told Antonio and Luca, and they dragged her away as she sobbed. I slid my gun into the waistband behind my back, focusing on Althaia as I gently cupped her cheeks to examine her. My anger flared at the sight of her bloodshot eyes and her neck that was red. “Don’t talk.” I said to Althaia when she winced as she tried to speak. “How could something like this happen?” Cara pulled her away from me to look at her. Her eyes blazed with fury as she turned to glare at me. “Do you just let everyone have a gun in this house?” “I don’t.” “Good to know you’re not keeping track of shit.” She spat out, and I shot her a look, taking a step towards her. “It would be wise of you to watch your mouth, woman.” I warned her. Cara took a step back and looked away. “S-stop it.” Althaia’s hoarse voice caught my attention. “Try not to speak.” I spoke softly to her when she placed her hand on her throat. “Ellie is on her way.” Arianna informed me, a
The Devil's Fire Chamber of Torture
Damiano“Getting drunk now?” Arianna made herself comfortable on the couch in front of me.“Shut up.” I replied while pouring my third glass of whiskey and leaned back. I took a slow sip as I looked at her, noticing a few bloodstains on her clothes. “What did you do?” I didn’t care what she had done to Sofia, but I needed to know if she was well enough to get on a plane and get the fuck away from here.“Just had a little fun with her. Might have smacked her around a bit, broke a few bones here and there. Her nose is broken, too. At least, it looks like it.” She shrugged, checking her nails as she spoke. Lorenzo returned and settled down next to Arianna, pouring himself a drink.“She’ll be on a plane first thing tomorrow.” He said and downed the drink in one go.“Good. And Althaia?” I asked.“Upstairs. Resting in Cara’s room.” I clicked my tongue at the information. She didn’t even want to stay in my room.“How pissed was she when you told her?” Arianna looked at me with a raised brow.
The Devil's Fire Guns & Knives
AlthaiaThree days have passed since Sofia tried to kill me, and three days since I last spoke to Damiano. I have been staying in Cara’s room as I didn’t feel like seeing Damiano right now. Cara tried to talk to me about it, but I wasn’t ready to talk loudly about how Damiano and Sofia had fucked. Oh, and how he somehow thought it was a brilliant idea to keep her under his roof while getting his dick wet by someone else.Yet I was still missing him.I let out a loud groan and buried my face in the pillow, wanting to get him out of my head so I would stop thinking about him.On the bright side, I was healing. My throat wasn’t hurting anymore because I wasn’t talking, and my foot was a lot less painful. I was still limping, but I could move it around.“Get up! I’m tired of you being in that bed all the time.” Arianna ripped the blanket away from me.“Leave me alone.” I grumbled and rolled in bed. This wasn’t the first time she had tried to get me out of bed.“Sorry, love, but you’re gett
The Devil's Fire Unspoken Words
AlthaiaWe drove back to the manor in silence. I sat as close as I could to the door to create as much distance between us as possible while facing away from him.“How long are you going to be like this?” Damiano’s deep voice broke the silence. I ignored him as I focused on the window, savoring the view of the stunning green fields.“Althaia.”“You’re the one who kept your fuck buddy around, so I’ll stay like this however long I want to.” I snapped, finally looking at him with a frown on my face.“Fuck buddy? Is that what you’re calling her now?” His hands clenched around the steering wheel.“I’ll call her something much worse…” I muttered under my breath and Damiano rubbed his jaw.“I already told you it was a mistake.”“Easy to say after you get caught.” I swallowed hard, my emotions getting the best of me. “Did you sleep with her while being with me?” The thought made my heart clench, but I couldn't stop wondering about it.“Don’t be ridiculous.” He growled when we came to a stop in
