All Chapters of The Devil's Fire: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Damiano“This is what we have found so far.” Ava rolled out a map on the table. Everyone had been gathered to the manor once Ava and Rafaelle had something useful for us to be able to lay out a new plan.“Based on the information given, they can’t be more than two hours away in fly time. We have narrowed it down to this.” She drew a circle around the area and I frowned. It was still a large area and it would take us too much time to pin down exactly where Gaetano was hiding.“But our theory is they have to be closer to this area.” She drew another circle within the circle, but this time it was smaller.“Your reason?” I asked.“The type of helicopter they’re using can’t fly more than five hours at a time, and since this is not a helicopter that can refuel midair, they have to go to the fuel station. Which is two and a half hours away. But we don’t want to rule out the area completely.” Rafaelle explained.“They could already have a truck ready to fill up.” Luca pointed out.“It’s possi

Althaia I felt like I was losing my sanity the longer we were locked up in this shit hole. My heart ached continually at the thought of Damiano not being alive. The image of him being shot was playing over and over in my head, and no matter how hard I tried, tears threatened to fall. I wrapped my arms around my knees, somehow trying to calm down my racing heart. Guilt was eating me alive. Maybe… if I had gone away, he would still be alive and he wouldn’t have had to deal with all those problems I carried along with me. He wanted to make life easier for me. To make me happy. And he did. But in return, I placed all the burden on his shoulders, causing his death. Was this how it really was going to end for us? For him? For me? To lose the people I loved so dearly in a blink of an eye? If he wasn’t here with me, then I wouldn’t want to live anymore. And maybe, just maybe, with a glimpse of hope still in my heart, I would be able to see him again in the next life. “We have to do so

AlthaiaI felt my heart stop beating.I couldn’t believe it.I was afraid to even close my eyes to blink in case this was some kind of an illusion. A beautiful one that I would never get to see if I did.Did I die and we got reunited?With my shaky hand, I reached out and touched his face. He leaned into my touch and a sob escaped my lips, and tears welled in my eyes."Damiano…” I sobbed in a whisper.“I’m right here, baby.” He kissed the palm of my hand and pulled me into him. I couldn’t hold it in anymore and cried into his chest, wrapping my arms tightly around him. It was real. He was right here in front of me, holding me tightly in his strong arms as he buried his face into my neck.My husband is alive.Damiano wiped my tears away when I had calmed down, placing his hands on my cheeks, and leaning down until he captured my lips. The moment our lips touched washed away all the stress and anxiety that had built up in record time while being locked up. It gave me a sense of serenity

Althaia I ran as I shot after him, but I was too far away to hit him. Everything Damiano taught me about being steady and focused went straight down the drain. My heart was pounding and I was shaking. Shaking so much in rage that all I could think of was how desperately I wanted to get my hands on him and see the life painfully disappear from his eyes. Disgusting? The word kept echoing in my mind. Over and over again. I kept moving, running as fast as I could, taking cover wherever possible as I kept shooting in his direction. Carlos was desperate to land a shot on me. So much he, too, was unsteady and unfocused while I moved in between the concrete pillars to get closer to him. No matter what, I knew I wouldn’t be able to hit him. My aim wasn’t good enough but I wasn’t aiming to hit him. Just yet. He still had Cara, and I couldn’t risk accidentally shooting her. Instead, I was trying for him to empty his gun while I got closer. And at this moment, I was fucking thankful Damiano

DamianoAlthaia was shocked.Shocked to the point her body gave up under her and collapsed to the ground. I grabbed her and pulled her into me, gritting my teeth as I ignored my own pain when I saw the state she was in. I didn’t give two shits about Alexei at this moment, only worrying about her. She looked numb, lost, as she tried to comprehend what I just said. For once, Alexei kept quiet and had his men stand by as he looked at Althaia.His daughter.He hadn’t expressed what he thought of the situation. About him having a daughter. But he was pissed at her mother for keeping away and not telling him. Twenty-five years had he lived on with his life without knowing he had a child out in the world. And to make it worse for him, his daughter thought Gaetano was her father.An Italian man who married his woman“Come on, breathe, Althaia… There you go… Breathe.” She gasped for air and I felt how her entire body was shaking against mine. I held her tightly, even though I was struggling to
