:The Devil's Thoughts :DanteI was sitting at my desk, twirling a pen between my fingers, when the office door opened, and Rosa walked in."What do you want?""Why so rude? I came to cheer you up," she said, moving slowly toward my desk before sitting on it."I'm not in the mood. Get out.""Come on, I'm already here," she teased, starting to unbutton her shirt slowly."I said get out," I repeated, my voice cold and firm. My murderous gaze met hers, and I saw a flash of fear in her eyes."Fine, sorry," she muttered, sliding off the desk and heading toward the door."From now on, unless I call for you, don't you dare walk in here again. Is that clear?""Yes... it's clear," she stammered, her body trembling slightly. The moment I finished speaking, she slipped out of the office.Stupid girl. Just because I fucked her a few times, she thinks she has the right to walk in here and put on a show.My phone screen lit up, and when I glanced at it, I saw Marco's name."Talk," I answered coldly

:The red DressI was sitting in the lecture, but my mind was elsewhere—I was thinking about tonight's dinner. Why did I even bother inviting my so-called family? The last thing I wanted was to see their fake smiles."Miss Adams."I flinched and looked up to see Mr. Davis standing in front of me."Yes?" I smiled slightly."I believe your attention is elsewhere. I expect you to be more focused during my lecture."Great. Just what I needed."I apologize. I'll be more attentive from now on."He turned around and walked back to his desk.When the lecture finally ended, I stood up, grabbed my bag, and turned around—only to nearly bump into Mr. Davis."Sorry," I said quickly, stepping back. What the hell? Why was he standing so close?"I didn't mean to startle you," he said with a smile, sliding his hands into his pockets."Miss Adams, I heard you sometimes assist other professors. Would you mind helping me as well?""I'm sorry, but I don't have the time. I work after university, and I've on

:Family Dinner The car stopped in front of the villa. Dante got out, and I followed him. As soon as we entered the house, Margaret was there to greet us. She immediately walked over to me and hugged me tightly."Darling, you look gorgeous," she said warmly.I smiled at her."Thank you, you look wonderful as well."She blushed slightly and laughed. Soon after, Lorenzo appeared and hugged me too."It's good to see you, my dear. You look lovely," he said with a warm smile."Thank you. I'm glad to see you too."How could these people be part of the mafia?They're so kind and welcoming—or maybe it's just an act. But why would they bother? I don't understand. How could such a sweet and caring couple have once been at the head of a criminal empire?"Come along, your parents and siblings are already here," Margaret said softly.My whole body tensed. I followed her quietly while Dante walked beside me. When we entered the dining room, the table was already set, and my so-called family stood t

:DesireI parked the car near the warehouse and stepped inside. Two men were tied to chairs, covered in blood. As soon as I entered, Marco appeared by my side."Boss, half of the cargo is missing. I think they already sold the goods.""They're not talking?""No. So far, they've kept their mouths shut."I walked closer to one of them and lifted his head. He was a mess—bruised, bloody, barely conscious."Can he still talk? He looks like he's about to die." Marco stood beside me, his face calm, as always."Mi dispiace, Boss... I might've gone a little too far. But I'm sure he can still answer your questions."Hmph... Looks like Enzo was right. Deluca and Gallo—those two little bastards—have dug their own graves."Wake them up. I need answers today. And someone call Enzo—where the hell is he?""I'm here. Seems like you started the party without me."This idiot—why does he always walk around with that same stupid smirk on his face? I shot him a cold glare."Come on, fratello, the traffic w

:When your actions contradict your wordsI ran out of the room and suddenly ran into Margaret. Damn, what happened now? Did I kiss him? No, he kissed me, but I kissed him too. Why? He can't possibly like me. Oh God, what should I do?"Darling, are you okay?"I was sure my face was bright red by now."Yeah, I'm fine, but I need some air."Margaret looked at me confused."I'll call Dante, and you two can go for a walk.""No, that was a bit too loud, I said." Margaret froze in place. I gave a slight smile."It's not necessary.""Alright, as you wish," she said, still looking at me with a confused expression, and then she left. I walked into the garden and stood there for a while. How am I supposed to look him in the eyes now? I'm sure for him it was just another casual kiss, but it wasn't the same for me. If I don't count the wedding day, it was my first real kiss. And I feel strange. Did I like it? Damn, I don't even know what to think. He's dangerous. He's a killer, and you hate him, b

:Hang over A terrible headache woke me up. When I looked around the room, there was no one there. I sat up in bed and paused for a moment as dizziness washed over me. Damn it. I barely remember half of what happened last night. Slowly, I got up and made my way downstairs.Lily was in the kitchen, preparing something, while Amelia was sprawled on the couch, looking like she was on the verge of death."Hey," I called out.Amelia lifted her head slightly. "Hey, are you okay?""No. You?""Not at all."I moved her legs aside and sat down on the couch, then placed them on my lap."What the hell happened last night?" I asked."I have no idea, but I definitely went overboard. When I woke up, Noah called me just to mock me. Apparently, I called him last night and confessed my love to him—very romantically, might I add."I started laughing but stopped immediately as my headache worsened."Come on, the soup is ready," Lily announced.Amelia and I got up and sat at the table."Lil, aren't you fe

The day I said yes, I had no idea my life would turn out this way. Sometimes, the will to live and survive is so strong that a person can overcome any obstacle. But other times, surrender is the best option. I surrendered.After years of fighting my father, I finally gave in. And for the first time in my life, I placed my fate in the hands of destiny.It led me straight to the man they called the Devil.But who said the Devil can't love? Part 1 :Family Life isn’t fair for everyone. I learned that at the age of seven when the people I called my family—those I thought loved me in their own way—showed me just how cruel the world could be. For fifteen years, I have endured my father’s abuse. Every time he beats me to the point of unconsciousness, I repeat to myself that it’s only a little longer. Just a little more, and I’ll disappear from their lives forever, starting fresh in another country where I can finally live in peace. Now, I’m in my final year of university, studying Engl

:Connection When I was six, I accidentally overheard the maids talking, and I found out that I was the daughter of another woman who was now dead. My stepmother always told me I wasn’t her daughter, but I thought she was just saying that because she was mad at me. I was wrong. As I grew up, I learned that the woman who gave birth to me had worked here as a maid, and then, suddenly, she left. Ten months later, she left me at the door and disappeared. When I was younger, I couldn’t understand all of this, but now I realize that neither my mother nor my stepmother loved me, and neither did my biological father. My half-sister and half-brother act as though I don’t exist. They don’t talk about me and avoid being near me, as if I’m some sort of parasite. This morning, as soon as I woke up, the maids warned me that my stepmother was hosting a party today and that I shouldn’t leave my room. I’m working late today, so no one will notice if I sneak into the house. “It’s time to come down

:The Devil's Friend Enzo, Dante's only friend besides Nana, stood next to her wearing a pink floral apron. I couldn't help but wonder how he and Dante were even friends—he didn't seem nearly as scary as Dante."Hello again, Shorty," Enzo smiled at me while continuing to flip pancakes."Shorty?" I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms."Oh, come on, don't be mad. It suits you perfectly.""Because I'm short?""Exactly, but in an adorable way. It's nothing to be self-conscious about, in my opinion—it makes you even cuter."Well, considering everyone here—except Nana—was at least two heads taller than me, I guess I did seem short to them."I'm not self-conscious," I replied."Then can I keep calling you Shorty?""Do whatever you want.""Haha, I knew we'd get along! Now, come here and try my masterpiece."Nana smacked Enzo on the head, making me cover my mouth in surprise."Ouch! What was that for?""For taking credit for other people's work.

:A peaceful dayThe lecture had already started when our new professor walked in."Good morning," he greeted us with a warm smile, but then, suddenly, his gaze locked onto me.What the hell? Why is he staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face?He quickly cleared his throat and looked away."Alright, let's begin today's lesson."He was surprisingly good at explaining things, and he seemed friendly, too. When the lecture ended, I stood up, grabbed my bag, and was about to leave when I heard my name."Miss Adams."I turned around. "Yes, Mr. Davis?""I heard from your friends that you were unwell. I'm glad to see you're feeling better now."I gave him a small smile. "Thank you.""You've probably fallen behind on the material. It would be a shame for a student as bright as you to struggle because of a few missed classes. I can help if you need any assistance.""Thanks, but I've already asked my friends for their notes. If I don't understand something, I'll ask them. But I app

:A new beginning Diego dropped me off in front of the café. The others were already inside, and the moment they saw me, they jumped up and rushed to hug me."Finally, you're back!" Amelie squealed, practically bouncing with excitement."Yes, and I couldn't be happier! I can finally go to university with you guys. You have no idea how much this means to me!" I grinned.Lily glanced at Diego with a skeptical expression. "Is this guy going to be driving you around every day?"I couldn't help but laugh at the way she was eyeing him, as if she were inspecting a criminal."Yes, and stop looking at him like that. I know he might seem intimidating, but he's actually quite polite and calm.""Yeah, sure," Noah smirked. "With that kind of expression, I bet he's taken down at least ten people without breaking a sweat.""Well, one thing's for sure—he's sexy," Amelie chimed in.Noah shot her a deadly glare. "Not as sexy as you, sweetheart. Now relax.""Bad boys really are attractive, though," Lily
