All Chapters of WHILE I BURN FOR YOU: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CHAPTER 72: UNSEEN MANIPULATIONZAHRA'S POV The dull thud of Lisa's body hitting the ground echoed in the still evening air. I stood over her, watching her chest rise and fall. 'At least she wasn't dead...yet' I thought as I looked at the area where the arrow came from.Nara Joe lowered her bow, a smug smirk on her face. "Sad to know she didn't die. Would Godfather be pissed if I killed her and blamed it on some wild animal?" She asked, stepping closer.I shot her an angry look, ignoring the question she just asked. "We agreed on a gunshot, not arrows. Where did you learn to shoot anyway?"She shrugged, her smirk widening. "Arrows are quieter. Besides, Adela taught me. I wanted to test it out on the witch."My lips twitched as it felt tempting to break into a smile. "Congratulations. Dashiell might be pissed that you didn't graze her body with the bullet. Let's hope he doesn't mind the improvisation."Before we could say anything else, the sounds of footsteps marching against the ta

CHAPTER 74: MY RED-HAIRED STALKERZAHRA'S POVI stepped out of the car, my heart hammering against my chest, the cool evening air brushing my face. Here I was. Standing at the address of the weird message that had led to an ordinary, creepy-looking house. Erected at the end of a dimly lit street, which made it seem even more scary."There's something shady about this house, Zahra. Please stay safe, I'll keep my eyes on you from afar." Gotham said, leading me to nod, and wait until he drove off.The house looked almost abandoned- peeling paint, overgrown weeds in the front yard, and broken shutters. And, as I drew closer to the entrance, my instincts screamed for me to get out, but I ignored the voice in my head.Dashiell and Siobhan warned me not to go because they suspected it to be a trap. Even I, knew that this whole thing could be a trap. But, how do you solve a problem when you don't even know it's origin?I persuaded them to let me go, and now I'm regretting it."Jeez." I mutt

CHAPTER 76: WITH RELATION TO THE DEVILZAHRA'S POVThe fire crackled softly in the corner of the room, casting a warm glow on the nearby furniture. I lay on the couch in Dashiell's estate, my limbs heavy with weakness. The familiar scent of the leather seats mixed with the faint smell of ginseng still emitting from my clothes. I traced a finger along the bandage on my forehead, my thoughts drifting back to Davina pinning me against the altar stone, and her vile perverted touches. The disgusting way she spoke, and the feeling of her tongue trailing up my neck, still haunted me."Your blood is special." I heard her voice say in my mind.Dashiell sat across the room, his eyes dark and fixed on the fire, his jaw clenched in that way that meant he was lost in deep thought. Since we came back, he hadn't said much- that may seem like his usual self, but...this time was different. He checked on me from time to time, but kept his distance. It was almost like Davina made him worry alot.How di

CHAPTER 78: IT'S OVERZAHRA'S POV The chamber was oddly silent as I stepped into the center. My eyes scanned the dark, empty room. The walls, high and cold, stretched upwards like the mansion's roof wasn't its limits, and my footsteps echoed in the vast place. I immediately took out the message which Lisa sent earlier, attached to it was a copy of the mansion's interior plan. And, she said Dashiell, Siobhan, and their team should come in immediately after I enter, but why weren't they coming after me?Taking a deep breath, I steadied myself and called out, "Davina!" I shouted, my voice echoing in the creepy chamber.I clenched my fist, a glint of frustration in my eyes. "Davina! Come out you coward!"Still, nothing.I sighed, realizing that Lisa lied to us about Davina being here alone because there was no cult meeting today. Just as I was about to leave, the heavy doors behind me slammed shut, leading me to whirl around in shock.From the shadows, Davina walked out, her familiar, c

CHAPTER 80: THE FEAR OF THANKSGIVING The next morning, we gathered at the pool house again, sipping tea and eating English muffins while I watched Adela and Maya giggle and whisper in their ears for the 100th time today.I sighed heavily as I realized there was still no sign of Siobhan. I didn't know if it was something I said about Victor White, or...maybe she just wanted to be alone. But, it's unusual, knowing how free-spirited Siobhan was.Just then, Siobhan walked into the pool area dressed in a white bikini top and matching white shorts that rolled up to half her bum. "Yo, Adela. Dashiell emailed me earlier about the Thanksgiving Celebration. He said Domenico would be there." She said, sitting next to me on a lounge chair."Ugh." I heard Adela say before throwing a muffin in her mouth. "I thought he gave Domenico the red stamp?" "He said something about him being repentant. But I don't think so. Dashiell just wants to have a reason to kill him." I gasped, trying to put mysel
