All Chapters of The Devil's Fire: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Althaia“Please, take care and stay safe. Call me when you land and remember, you can always call me no matter what, okay?” I told Laila as I hugged her tightly.We were at the airport, and I had packed a bag for her with money and all the necessities she needed. I didn’t want her to worry about anything so she could be with her family.“Thank you so much. I don’t know how I can ever thank you enough for everything you have done for me.” Laila hugged me tightly as she cried.“No need to. Just promise me you will stay safe.” I leaned back and smiled. She promised with a teary smile.“Giovanni will be with you and make sure you get to your family safely. I know he looks scary and grumpy, but trust me, he is harmless.” I grinned at Giovanni, and he looked at me with a scowl.“I’m just happy I get a break from your annoying ass.” He scoffed, making me pout at him.“I know you will miss me.”“I really won’t.”“It’s okay, Gio. I know you will. I will miss you too, Uncle Grumpy.” I teased.“U

AlthaiaI jolted up in a sitting position, feeling my heart beat faster, and looked at Damiano with wide eyes. Fear and panic took over my body. Damiano sat up, his brows furrowed with concern.“Breathe, Althaia.” He reminded me, and I drew in a shaky breath.“She’s home early, and–and you’re here!” I suddenly realized, now feeling the blood drain from my face.“I need you to calm down, baby.” Damiano placed his hands on my cheeks, and I immediately clung onto his arms as I felt myself panicking like the day before she left. “Slow down… breathe… that’s it…” He guided, and I closed my eyes and focused on steadying my breathing to calm down my hammering heart.I kept listening to his soothing voice, focusing on the way his thumbs were lightly caressing my cheeks and slowly calming me down.“I’m okay.” I let out a breath and opened my eyes again.I groaned as I plopped down on the bed again, wondering why she was home so early and if she had calmed down. Or if we were going to fight again

AlthaiaAfter handing a customer her custom-designed dress, I found myself with nothing to do, and time seemed to crawl by. I could take the time to mop the floor, but I felt too lazy to do it. I always did when it came to mopping the floor because I hated doing it. Usually, my mother would force me, but since she had to run some errands, I was off the hook.I let out a yawn, tiredness washing over me as I went to the couch.Might as well take a small nap since no one is here.Luca was keeping a close eye on who was coming in and out of the boutique. If a male was present, he would stay right in front of the boutique to make sure nothing of the past repeated itself.As I nestled into the couch, its warmth and comfort instantly lulled me into a drowsy state, causing my eyes to grow heavy. Just a quick power nap, I thought. I would be able to hear if someone comes into the shop anyway, so I should be good. With that, it didn't take long before my eyelids grew heavy, and I fell into a dee

Damiano“I see what you mean. Her mother seems nice, but it didn’t go unnoticed how she looked at you.” Arianna snickered and took a seat on the couch.We went back to my hotel room until we had to leave for dinner. Cara had joined Althaia and her mother to help them prepare. I was suspicious about her motives for inviting us, but I decided to go along with it. The closer I got to her, the faster I could find out who she was.“She doesn’t even try to hide the fact that she hates you.” Arianna laughed, and I smirked. If only she knew why her mother hated me this much.Not only did she hate me for who I was but also for getting her daughter pregnant. That alone was giving me satisfaction because I knew she hated that her daughter was carrying my child. And there was absolutely nothing she could do about it.“Did you talk to Cara?” I turned to look at Lorenzo.“She doesn’t know much, either. She noticed Althaia’s parents were growing cold towards each other and were fighting more. They ha

Althaia“What is it with you and having your way with me in bathrooms? Now that I think of it, the last time we had dinner with my family, we ended up in the bathroom together.” I told him as we went into the hallway.“I didn’t hear you complain back then.” He gave me a playful smile and pulled me in for a kiss, leaving me breathless.Damiano pulled back ever so slightly, gazing at me with his affectionate golden-brown eyes. Pulling me in like a magnet and completely captivating me with the depth of his mesmerizing eyes.“You have no idea what you did to me that day.” He whispered. “You had me looking at you the entire time, admiring all of your beauty, while you were oblivious as to what you were doing to me.”Damiano cupped my face, making me forget how to breathe with how he was looking at me.Like I was his entire world.“That day, you captivated me right there on the spot.” His eyes darkened, and his lips turned into a devilish smirk as he leaned in closer.His mouth faintly glide
