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
The Devil's Fire Self-Defense
Althaia“Do we have to do this now? I don’t feel like doing anything today.” I groaned and complained to Arianna as she dragged me and Cara downstairs to their gym. Apparently, a new day meant a new activity, and today we were going to learn self-defense.“You should be the last one to complain when it’s you who’s had near-death experiences.” Arianna retorted as we entered the gym.I groaned but followed her anyway to a big mat for wrestling. Luckily, I would be more of an observer while Cara had to mock fight Arianna. I was already praying for Cara because she was going to get her ass kicked.The look on her face showed just how much she didn’t want to.We were not the only ones in the gym. Rafaelle, Damiano, Lorenzo, and another guy, whom I didn’t know, were working out. I slightly bit down on my lip as I focused on Damiano.He stood in nothing but shorts, beads of sweat glistening on his body as he relentlessly pounded the punching bag. I gawked at the way his muscles in the back lo
The Devil's Fire To Be A Genius
Althaia“Do you think he will make it out alive?” Cara asked as we had our lunch in the garden.“I hope so.” I sighed, feeling sorry for Arianna and Dom.I’ve tried to talk to Damiano about it, but he wasn’t willing to listen. We went back and forth until he finally called Arianna and Dom into his office to talk to them. I was praying for Dom because Lorenzo was in there with them, and I just hoped they would try to have an open mind.“Poor Dom. He really was about to die in there.” Cara said, also feeling sorry for him.“I get they are protective of their baby sister, but to choke the man like that.” I shook my head. “By the way, I haven’t had the chance to ask you, but it seems like it’s going well between you and Lorenzo?”“It is.” Cara smiled. “I do like him. A lot, actually. At first, he was just my way to get away from everything at home, but now I can see us being happy together.” She said, her face lighting up with genuine happiness.My heart warmed as I smiled, seeing how her
The Devil's Fire Last Night's Pleasures
AlthaiaI was dozing off in the car as Damiano was driving me to the clinic to get the stitches removed. It was too early for me to even be out of bed right now, but I had to make the most out of the day, since I had a lot of packing to do.I shook my head and blinked a couple of times to wake up. I let out a little yawn and looked at Damiano with my heavy eyelids. I needed at least five cups of coffee to get me going today.“A little tired?” He gave me a half-smile, his hand caressing my thigh.“It’s your fault.”When he said I would be punished, I didn’t know what he meant by it. He stripped me, blindfolded me, and tied me to the bed. Since I couldn’t see anything and only felt his touch, everything was heightened, which got me excited.He painfully teased me as he kissed and sucked every inch of my body, while his hands roamed my most sensitive parts. And that was where his punishment began.He wouldn’t let me come.“Fuck, Damiano…” I writhed, unable to use my arms or even close my
The Devil's Fire About His World
Althaia“Tell me again why you’re driving back home instead of flying. It will take like what? Five hours instead of forty hours?” Arianna asked while folding my clothes with Cara.I had persuaded them to help me pack, saying it would go faster if I had extra hands helping me, and therefore, we could spend more time together. They agreed, but they just didn’t realize they were doing all the packing for me, while I only pretended to pack so I wouldn’t do a thing.I truly am a genius.“Because it’s a metal coffin.” I said, as if it was the most obvious thing.“First butterflies, now planes?” She scoffed, not impressed at all.“I’m not scared of flying. I just don’t like to fly alone. Like, what if the plane suddenly crashes? I don’t want to die alone.” I tried to explain how it was a legit fear of mine.“I guess that is a reasonable excuse. Better than the butterfly excuse.” She teased.“Just drop it already, okay? It’s a freaking flying caterpillar. It shouldn’t be flying in the first p
The Devil's Fire Going Home
Althaia“I’m going to miss you so much!” I hugged Cara tightly.“Me too! It’s going to suck without you.”“Ghee, thanks.” Arianna faked an offended expression.I couldn't help but let out a laugh as I turned to embrace her tightly. It was going to be so weird to be away from them for so long when we had spent so many days together.“Now we can all get some sleep at night without you fucking like crazy every night.” Rafaelle started, and I gave him a blank look.“Don’t you ever get tired of your own stupid comments?”“Never!” He grinned and gave me a bone-crushing hug that I returned. He was going to be missed. His comments, not so much.I gave them one last goodbye and even shared an awkward goodbye with Lorenzo, where I patted his shoulder as a farewell. I didn’t know why I still felt awkward around him, but I did. Probably because of the number of times I have humiliated myself in front of him. I guess he kind of felt the same about me too, because he awkwardly patted my head as a go
The Devil's Fire Mother-Daughter Time
AlthaiaIt has been a week since I got home, and even though I miss the others terribly, it was good to be home and spend time with my mother. It has been crazy busy at the boutique, and I felt terrible seeing how exhausted my mother looked. I was happy to return to work next week, letting my foot rest so it could heal faster.I was sitting on the couch in the living room as I watched the Seven Deadly Sins while eating a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. Just as I took a big bite of my bagel, the doorbell rang. I let out a noise of annoyance, trying to chew faster as I made my way to the front door.Who would be coming at this hour, anyway?I brushed away any crumbs around my mouth and quickly made sure I looked decent enough to open the door.“Delivery for Miss Althaia.” The man said and handed me the biggest arrangement of red roses I had ever seen.“From... who…?” My voice died down as he was already making his way back to his car.I stared in awe at the huge flower arrangement
The Devil's Fire I Can't Help It, But I Do
AlthaiaThings at work had calmed down. I was taking a lot of stress off my mother’s shoulder now that I was back because, other than her, I was the only one skilled enough to sketch customers’ wishes. We had seamstress workers, not always in the boutique with us, but present when it got busy.Time was going by so fast and before I knew it, three weeks already went by. It felt like time was going by even faster because as soon as I would get home from work, I would pass out as soon as my head hit the pillow.I haven’t been talking to Damiano as much, only squeezing in a text message here and there. He called me last night, and I was so tired that I fell asleep while talking to him, but he knew how busy things have been. I felt guilty that I barely had any time for him when he always made sure to have time for me. And he was the one with multiple businesses and running a Mafia.Lately, I was feeling like I couldn’t get enough sleep, even though I was sleeping for over eight hours. It wa
