All Chapters of Embracing the Devil: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

I spent the entire morning and early afternoon on writing different scenarios inside my head. I couldn't completely ignore the danger surrounding my idea of following Mia to her meeting, but I was mad at Hiro too much to ask him, or anyone else from TK to help. Besides, who knew if there wasn't another person that helped Mia… That was the argument I used anyway.It was 4 PM and, thankfully, I was wise enough not to look through my door every two minutes to check if Mia was going out from the company, I used the surveillance. I sat behind my desk, prepared to leave at any time, and kept staring at the live footage from the cameras at the corridor. Finally, I saw her walking towards the elevator at 4:30… I waited until she got inside one and rushed with a tremendous speed after her, as soon as her elevator door closed.I assumed she got off at the level 0, I took a shot and went up there. In the meantime I wore my disguise. I put the cap on my head and lowe

I rushed through the corridor towards my apartment. Hiro followed me.“Ana!” he called, but I didn't turn around and kept walking.I opened the door of my apartment, he run and shut it before I could enter inside, he stood there blocking my way in.“Ana, please… act reasonable…” he acted like he was trying to prove that my behavior was ridiculous.“Move away from the door,” I hissed, barely keeping myself from exploding.He stepped away, and I entered without saying a word. I closed the door. Some part of me hoped that he would try knocking, or just enter in… like he always did before, that he would try to explain, or to apologize…“Ana… you forgot that the word “sorry” doesn't even exist in his dictionary!” I corrected my naïve thoughts.My rational part of the brain was telling me that his plan was absolutely ingenious, and it was the

I stayed in Hiro's embrace for a longer while. I kept finding it incredible how much I felt complete in his arms. His warmth covered my body filling me with bliss, and making me forget about my previous anxieties. It didn't make any sense, but I guessed that love is never rational, and I absolutely in love with Hiro. At the point when I became numb from being unable to move in his tight grip, he finally let me go, and led me to sit on the sofa. He poured me a glass of wine and sat right beside me.“Melisa told me… you used my plan… the windows… Why didn't you tell me?” I asked.“I wanted to, but you didn't let me. I wanted to tell you everything, but I wasn't sure if telling you everything wouldn't endanger you more,” he explained.“Endanger me more…?” I sighed, “Did you assume that I would reveal the real information to the mole? I even faked the date of the mission when she asked me!”

On the way to Luna Café I kept looking behind my shoulder. I knew that Jay was following me, and discreetly watching from somewhere, but my anxieties only grew. For some reason my heart began to beat faster, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was about to happen.I went inside the Luna Café, Simon was already there, he even ordered the chocolate cheesecake that I loved. I greeted him smiling, forcing myself to chase away my irrational fears.“Would you mind if I order champagne?” Simon asked, “It's more proper to celebrate than raising a toast with coffee,” he chuckled.“I don't mind drinking a glass,” I laughed.He called for a waiter and we were already raising our glasses a minute later.“To Ana's first book published! It will surely be a best-seller,” Simon declared.“I would love to have your confidence, but I will drink to that…” I gri

I had no strength to cry left. I lied on the bed helpless and absolutely defenseless, but I couldn't give up on my life, not yet. I had to keep on living, I had to do anything I could to avenge Jay. I had to be strong, ignore the suffering and keep stalling, hoping to find a way to escape in the meantime. Yet…“This is pathetic, Ana… You are thinking about avenging Jay?! You might die here any moment! You cannot even take care of yourself… Stop fooling yourself!” every piece of my brain was clearly convinced about my chances to succeed.I closed my eyes and lied on the bed motionless. I felt like every ounce of my lifeforce had left my body, and now I simply waited to die any second.“Ana…” I heard a faint voice, “Ana… wake up… Wake up, Sis…”I opened my eyes and saw Jay! I abruptly got up with a newly found energy. I looked around and I was back in my apartment, sleeping
