SEVASTIANAfter whispering into her ear I slowly pulled away, savoring the sight of her flushed cheeks. A smirk tugged at my lips. Celestina’s amber eyes full of bright, and alluring glared at me with a mixture of irritation. And behind those emotions, there is something else she was trying desperately to hide.But I know that one day, whatever secret she may hide. I will certainly uncover it, but for now… I’ll play along with her plan. If she desperately wants my trust, I’ll give it to her under the disguise that I truly believe her, even if it's not. It’s hard to trust anyone, especially if she’s the daughter of the enemy. Right now, I want to have fun with her little scheme, looking further what she can offer if I shattered her dreams completely. “Well…” I let the word hang in the air, my gaze drinking her in as I paused intentionally. “Can you handle a devil like me, mia cara?”Her delicate brows furrowed in irritation, the lines adding to her allure rather than diminishing
CELESTINAMy chest heaved The moment Sevastian left the room, I released the breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. slightly as the tension began to dissipate, but my thoughts remained clouded with unease. Sevastian wasn’t the type to forgive and forget not after what I’d done. He was a man who always got what he wanted, one way or another. The glint in his eyes earlier wasn’t just anger, it was full of calculation and hiding some scheme. I sat on the edge of the bed, letting my mind race with the possibilities.Was he plotting revenge? Perhaps something subtler but just as devastating? Knowing him, he wouldn’t simply let this slide. I hated how unpredictable he could be. It kept me on edge, constantly wondering what his next move might be.Deciding I needed a moment to clear my head, I made my way to the adjoining bathroom. The warm light inside provided a strange comfort. I turned on the faucet, letting the water run until it steamed. Stripping out of my clothes, I stepped in
SEVASTIANAfter leaving the room, I headed straight to the kitchen. I need to refresh my mind and body. Damn it. The heat of her body still burns on my chest, a fucking reminder I can’t shake. But I shove it aside, burying the fire she lights in me, no matter how much it scorches I must control my libido. Opening the refrigerator, I grabbed a bottle of cold water, unscrewed the cap, and took a long, refreshing drink. The chill didn’t do much to cool the heat still simmering in my chest.While savoring the coolness of the water. I sensed Celestina’s presence like an electric charge in the air that makes my body go wild. Especially down my waist. She had no idea how many times I fuck her in my mind. How I patiently waited for her to wake up, so that I could see her beautiful eyes full of contempt whenever she looked at me. I felt every move she made but she didn’t say a word. But I knew she was there, watching me.Without turning around, I broke the silence. "Hungry?" I asked, re
SEVASTIANAs Celestina walked away, her scent lingered, stirring something primal inside me. Even as I finished my sandwich, her image refused to leave my thoughts. She had a way of haunting every corner of my mind. Her alluring body, her sharp tongue, and the fire in her eyes that tells me that she would kill me makes my heart race with excitement. Celestina was a gorgeous woman that every demon like me wants to worship her, she’s like a Goddess with a perfect sculpture body. Her bust was enormous, her waist was thin and perfect on my big hands, and that cheeky butt of hers that I wanted to slap to hear her cry made my blood boil. In our dark merciless world, she stood out like a forbidden bloom among thorns. Every man wanted her, craved to own her, including me, desired to possess her.But now she was mine.Her beauty wasn’t just physical, it radiated in her whole system that made every man obsessed to have her. Every time I remember her striking amber eyes, delicate yet strong
CELESTINAThe moment I caught the smirk on Sevastian’s face, my irritation surged. His flirtatious remarks and the way his gaze lingered on me it was suffocating. I wasn’t naive. I’d seen that look in countless men before him. Lust, greed, desire. He was no different, no matter how much he masked it with his suave charm and devilish grin.What frustrated me most was his restraint facade. He hadn’t pushed the boundaries, not entirely, and that made me uneasy.Men like Sevastian didn’t hesitate to take what they wanted, so why was he holding back? It’s impossible out of kindness, that wasn’t in his nature. No, he may be plotting for something, and I needed to figure out what before it was too late.For now, my focus had to remain on Leo. Until I knew that child was safe, I wouldn’t let Sevastian break me. He could leer, smirk, and toy with me all he wanted but wouldn’t falter.I turned sharply on my heel, ready to leave the room and his maddening presence behind, but before I could t
CELESTINA I woke up, groggy and confused, to find the space beside me cold and empty. The bed’s comforter was slightly crumpled where Sevastian had been, and my mind scrambled to piece together the events of last night. How did I manage to fall asleep in his arms? A shiver of irritation pricked my skin as I pushed the memory aside and sat up.The first thing that caught my eye was the black silk dress hanging on the armchair across the room. My brows knitted together. He had prepared clothes for me? Typical Sevastian, always trying to exert control over even the smallest details. I glanced around, but he was nowhere to be seen. Without dwelling on it further, I slipped out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom.The warm water cascading over my skin was a relief, washing away the remnants of last night’s turmoil. After drying off, I reached for the dress. The fabric was luxurious, hugging my curves snugly as I slipped it on. However, when I tried to fasten the tie at the back
SEVASTIAN As soon as Celestina stormed out of the room, I couldn’t stop the chuckle that escaped me. She was both like a fire who can burn me to death at the same time an ice Queen for treating me cold. However, her reactions were endlessly entertaining. “Afraid of getting penetrated, mia cara?” I muttered under my breath, the smirk on my lips refusing to fade.I was about to follow her when my phone buzzed in my pocket. Glancing at the screen, I saw Hector’s name flashing. “What is it?” I asked as I answered.“Boss,” Hector began, his tone sharp and efficient. “After the announcement about your wife, it’s not just our men who’ve shown interest. Every organization under Ortega’s influence is making moves to attend the meeting.”That wasn’t unexpected. Power plays like this stirred up attention. “Good,” I replied. “We’ll be there in a few minutes. Make sure everything is in place.” I ended the call without waiting for his response, already moving to track down Celestina.When I s
CELESTINAThe silence in the car was thick, almost suffocating, but I refused to break it first. My chest rose and fell with a quiet intensity as I kept the gun steady, the barrel still pointed at Sevastian’s most vulnerable spot. His bloodied thigh was a reminder of my resolve. He underestimated me, and that was his first mistake.The hint of a strained chuckle came from him, and I flicked my eyes to his face. That damn grin of his was still plastered there, as though he found the situation entertaining. “What a remarkable shot, mia cara,” he said, his voice deep and gravelly, tinged with the pain I’d caused. “I know you might enjoy this, but advise you not to damage the part that could bring you happiness.” He added, while emphasizing his “part.”My jaw clenched, and I couldn’t stop the scoff that escaped my lips. He had the audacity to flirt with me when he was bleeding and staring down the barrel of my gun. A very typical Sevastian, always confident, infuriating and pretty
SEVASTIANThe belt struck her thigh with a resounding crack, and I watched as Celestina flinched, her body tightening in response. Yet, even now, even after the searing lash of leather against her skin, she didn’t cry out. Her silence was maddening and her stubbornness infuriated me beyond reason.I tightened my grip on the belt, the leather creaking under the strain of my clenched fist. The sight of her, kneeling there getting bruised yet so stubborn, ignited the fire inside me. Every strike I made was met with the same infuriating obstinacy, as if she were daring me to break her.I scoffed. She would rather endure my wrath than submit and beg for my mercy, huh?I made another lash, this time across the curve of her backside. Her breath hitched, but she bit her lip, trapping the pain behind clenched teeth. My chest heaved with the force of my rage, the storm of emotions threatening to consume me. How could she choose this? How could she willingly endure my fury, my punishment,

CELESTINAI watched Sevastian return to the couch, his movements deliberate and unhurried. When he reached it, he sank into the plush leather, his arms stretching out along the top of the couch in a posture of effortless command.He crossed one leg over the other, his gaze bearing down on me cold, detached, and utterly unreadable."Crawl to me," he commanded like a fucking sort of king.A surge of reluctance flared within me. I glared at him, as my body tense with resistance. But the glint of the gun in his hand, aimed steadily in my direction.And because of that, I erased any thought of rebelling in his commandSwallowing my pride, I lowered myself onto my hands and knees, the hard floor pressing painfully against my palms.Each movement was a struggle, my muscles protesting as I inched forward, the weight of humiliation bearing down on me.Sevastian watched me in silence, his expression inscrutable, as I made my way toward him.The room seemed to stretch endlessly, the distance bet
CELESTINAAs Sevastian turned his back and returned to the couch, I noticed a glint of metal on the table before me, a knife seemingly within reach. My heart raced as I contemplated seizing it, a desperate bid for control in this perilous situation.Summoning my resolve, I inched my hand toward the blade, my fingers trembling as I reached it. Just as I was about to grasp it, a deafening gunshot shattered the tense silence.The bullet struck the knife, sending it clattering across the floor, well beyond my reach.Startled, I snapped my gaze to Sevastian.He was now seated on the couch, one leg casually crossed over the other.In one hand, he held a revolver, its barrel still smoking; in the other, a glass of whiskey.His cold, unyielding eyes bore into mine, a chilling reminder of the man I was dealing with."Interesting," he drawled, his voice laced with mockery."You hesitate to kill Donovan, yet you don't think twice about attempting to kill your own husband."His words dripped wit
CELESTINAI must have drifted off without realizing it. The noise outside jolted me awake. Rubbing my eyes, I hurried out of the room. Agent Rivera's face was tense, and my friends Cleo, Marge, and Lilith were anxiously preparing to leave."What's happening?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Lilith glanced at me, her expression grim. "The Ortega group is on their way. Somehow, they've discovered our location. We need to move, now."Confusion and fear twisted inside me. How could they have found us? Unless... Without wasting a moment, I inspected my clothes. There, hidden at the back, was a tiny tracking device. I cursed under my breath."Sevastian," I muttered, anger boiling within me. "He must have planted this on me."Agent Rivera's jaw tightened. "We need to evacuate immediately.""No," I said firmly. "Have your men leave. You and my friends should stay.""That's out of the question," Agent Rivera replied."Please," I insisted. "If they find us all here, none of us will b
CELESTINA I waited until I heard the heavy thud of Sevastian’s footsteps fade away as he stormed out of the apartment. A chill ran through me, but I refused to let myself break. I couldn’t afford to. Not now, that I must protect someone so important to me. The moment I was certain he was gone, I stumbled to my laptop, my hands trembling as I sat down at the desk. My body felt weak, but my mind was racing. I had to act fast. I couldn’t let Sevastian go through with this. I can’t allow Sevastian to kill Leo’s father, Donovan hasn't seen his son neither my twin sister, Velaria. I opened a new message, quickly typing in my friends' names: Lilith, Marge, and Cleo.“I need you to do everything you can to save Donovan,” I typed as quickly as my fingers would allow, my anxiety building with every word. “If possible, hide him. He can't die. Leo and Velaria need him.”I paused for a second, the weight of my words sinking in. I had never asked them for something this dangerous, but it was
SEVASTIANThe moment my hand brushed against her scar, something inside of me froze. It wasn’t just her skin beneath my touch, it was the truth that Donovan’s words are fucking right. A cold, nauseating feeling spread through me, and I felt as if the ground beneath my feet had suddenly disappeared.The scar, it was small, almost invisible to anyone who wasn’t looking for it, but it felt like a fucking betrayal.I wasn’t prepared for it. It wasn’t just the mark itself, but the realization that the woman Donovan had been searching for, the woman whose past had been tangled with his, was right in front of me, and that is my wife, Celestina. The thought of it made my blood boil, my fists tightening. My chest constricted with the fury that burned through me. This woman, this woman I had married, had a past one that I hadn’t even known about until this moment.I was furious. And I didn’t know if I was more angry at her or at myself for not knowing.I glared down at her. “So this is what
CELESTINAThe moment Sevastian leaned closer, I could feel the heat radiating off his body, his presence suffocating me with each passing second. His lips were just inches away, taunting me with their closeness, daring me to make the first move. But I wasn’t about to let him win and do whatever he wanted. I was angry.Angry that he thought he could just overpower me, angry that he thought I’d simply fall into his control. But then again, what was I supposed to do? Let him win without a fight? I wasn’t that weak.So, I gave him what he wanted.I leaned in, just a fraction, making sure he could feel the tension in the air between us. My lips brushed against his, a light touch at first, testing the soft skins on his lips. But as soon as our mouths met, I felt a jolt of heat rush through me. I could feel him smirk against my lips, knowing exactly what I was doing.For a moment, I held back. My mind screamed at me to stop. But my body betrayed me. His kiss deepened, and I couldn’t r
SEVASTIANI couldn’t help but chuckle as I watched Celestina bolt for the door. Her movements were quick, but not quick enough. Just as her fingers grazed the doorknob, I was already there. With one smooth motion, I slammed the door shut and pinned her against it.Her breath hitched, her wide eyes darting up to meet mine. I drew closer, my smirk growing with every second I held her gaze, savoring the mix of fire and doubt swirling in her eyes. She looked like she wanted to run, but there was nowhere to go. Of course, after what she did to me? Did she really think that she could run away again? Dream on, my dear. Because I will make sure that your fucking legs will be useless. “Where do you think you’re going, little fox?” I murmured, my voice low and taunting. “You really thought you could play your games and just waltz out the door? Oh dear, not tonight, my dear wife.” I pressed closer, trapping her completely. “Tonight, I’m going to make sure you’ll be too sore to even think ab
