The Devil's Fire Changed For The Better
DamianoHer stunning emerald eyes gazed up at me, sparkling with brightness, as she smiled with a touch of amusement playing on her lips.“Do you really not know how happy you make me?” She asked, her fingers intertwined with mine.“I want to make sure.” I told her honestly.She was happy now, but as her mother made clear several times, she would constantly be a target for my enemies. Especially now that she was carrying my child. The realization that Althaia would always be tied to me made me wonder if she would come to resent me for it.This was one of the reasons her mother left her father; to protect her from the brutality that comes with living this life. Yet I dragged her right into it because of my obsession with her.“I guess it’s my fault for not telling you enough.” Althaia chuckled, making me smile at the sound. Her face beamed with joy and innocence, swelling my heart with a need for closeness, a desire to protect that radiant happiness she exuded.“I wouldn’t mind if you t
The Devil's Fire Back Off!
AlthaiaWe had been walking for what felt like hours, and Arianna and Cara still hadn’t satisfied their shopping thirst. My mother left a while ago once she had bought what she needed and desperately walked away from us; most likely from Rafaelle, who wouldn’t leave her alone.Eventually, we decided to ditch the rest because I got too tired. So tired that I even fell asleep in the car on the way to the hotel where Damiano was staying.When I woke up, I found Damiano sleeping peacefully next to me. I smiled as I took my time to admire him. He looked so boyish with a few strands of hair falling over his eyes. He looked so…cute, and I almost let out a chuckle at the word. I never expected to use such a word to describe him.“What are you laughing at?” Damiano's voice was husky and low, still heavy with sleep. His eyes were closed, and I realized my body had been shaking when I tried not to laugh.“You. You look cute.” I chuckled, and he scoffed at my choice of words. His eyes suddenly sna
The Devil's Fire The Baby
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 Knock Her Up
Althaia“Watching you suffer like this is making me wonder if it’s really worth it to be pregnant.” Cara made a face at how horrible I was looking; sweaty and exhausted while I was trying to carefully sip some water to rehydrate.Thankfully, it wasn’t anything critical, and we were able to leave the hospital once I received IV fluids. Cara had been worrying and waiting since Lorenzo left in a hurry after he received Damiano’s call to drive us to the hospital. I usually don't see much emotion from Lorenzo, but tonight I saw a flicker of worry in his eyes for me and the baby.“One look at this, and it’s making me forget about everything else.” I handed her the sonogram and rested my head on Damiano’s shoulder. He flashed a small smile and kissed my forehead.“Funny how it’s the size of a pea and it can make you feel like that.” Cara's smile lit up her face as she looked at the picture.“Yeah, so funny. I’m laughing so hard right now.” I said sarcastically, which only made her chuckle.Lo
The Devil's Fire Cracking The Code
DamianoAlthaia said her goodbyes to the others, and I drove her back to her house. Not ready to let her go just yet, I walked with her into the house. She greeted her mother, and she received a curt nod from me as we made our way to her room.“What time are you leaving?” Althaia stepped between my legs as I took a seat on her bed. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I held her tightly against my body, savoring the momen,t knowing I wouldn’t be able to hold her for a while.“Once the others are ready, we will leave.” I sighed, still not happy that I was leaving without her. But I knew I had to be patient and give her the time to sort things out before having her all to myself.“You’ll be fine.” She spoke softly before moving to straddle my lap and leaning in to kiss me.The moment her lips met mine, I was overcome with desire, and I eagerly responded, losing myself in the intensity of our kiss. I held on to her tightly, unwilling to let her go, and wondered how the fuck she had succes
The Devil's Fire Run
AlthaiaI slipped into my favorite midnight blue satin nightgown with a matching robe and made my way downstairs. My mother had made a small fire in the fireplace for some coziness. It was a bit funny that we had a fireplace, even though it was unnecessary in Florida. But my mother loved them, and they had grown on me.“I made some tea. It’s decaf.” My mother smiled warmly as she handed me a steaming mug, then settled down next to me on the couch, cradling her own cup.“Thank you.” I said gratefully.We sat quietly together as we sipped our tea, but it was a comfortable silence with the burning wood crackling. I turned to look at my mother when she let out a sigh.“I must say, they are a lot more different from what I had expected.” She admitted. I raised my brows in surprise before a smile appeared on my lips.“They are. Especially Arianna and Raffaele.” I chuckled, and she rolled her eyes at the mention of Raffaele.“That boy needs a good smacking or two with my wooden spoon. Shamele
The Devil's Fire Baby, Hang On
Damiano Bullets flew over our heads while we stayed on the floor. I focused on listening to how many were currently firing. Based on the direction of the bullets coming through the windows, my guess was around eight people. Two people on each side of the warehouse, surrounding the building. Now, the question was how many were out with them, not firing at us. The fire suddenly stopped, and I glanced over at Lorenzo and Raffaele to find them unharmed. I signaled to them to spread out as I got up on my feet quietly. In these situations, the best strategy was to play dead. It would give us time to work quietly and take them down once they came for confirmation of our dead bodies. I looked around the warehouse and made my way to a corner where I would be able to take cover. It was now completely dark outside, with no light to be seen from streetlights or headlights. It was perfection, for I was the Devil, and within my heart, darkness reigned supreme. I crouched down when the
The Devil's Fire Deep Into the Woods
Althaia We kept running deeper into the depths of the dark woods. Our bare feet pounded on the forest floor, trying to escape the people chasing us and the bullets flying by. But my pace had slowed down. My body begged for even a small gulp of air, my lungs burning for a break, but I had to keep going. I still hadn’t fully recovered despite what I told Damiano. My body was weak and heavy, covered in sweat as my legs threatened to collapse. If it wasn’t for my mother's tight grip on my hand, pushing me to keep going, I would be dead. “Over here.” My mother led us behind a towering tree, its trunk wide enough to hide us. My body gave out, and I crumpled to the ground. I gasped for air, feeling a sharp pain with each breath. Nausea threatened to overpower me, but I somehow held it at bay and shifted my attention to calming my breath. My mother sat down on the ground and rubbed my back, trying to help me as best she could. I rested my back against the tree, closing my eyes when I
