Devil In Disguise Call it off
Curtis It had been ten days since Inferno went ablaze but I hadn’t been able to talk about it. Part of me still wanted to think it was all a nightmare and I would wake up and go to work as usual. However, that was a worse waste of time than the Greek lessons I was trying to learn on my own. I wasn’t well-versed in languages, to begin with; I had closed countless business deals all over the world but couldn’t tell what language the other party was speaking if I didn’t know their nationality. Yet here I was, using a Greek dictionary and a handbook to learn enough of the language to translate what was carved onto Miles’s chest. So far, I had managed to figure out that the last symbol on the message was a delta. At least I was getting somewhere. I slammed the dictionary shut. At this pace, there was only one place I was heading—to a psychiatric ward. A soft knock announced Angelica’s arrival at the library before she opened the door a crack and poked her head in. “Can I come in?” “O
Devil In Disguise How to meet one's husband
There is no such thing as a permanent friend. With the right incentive, anyone could turn into a backstabber. I had learned this the hard way, so it wasn’t hard to consider the possibility that Siren could be double-crossing me. To be fair, everyone whose alibi I hadn’t cleared was a suspect, including Heston. He relied on Inferno more than I did but he was right. What if his sister’s life was the price he had to pay for his loyalty to me? Would he still be loyal? I already knew the answer to that. He wouldn’t. Heston’s sister was the only person he cared about—and Siren, I was starting to notice. However, whatever was going on between them was not enough for him to cover for her if he thought she was Miles’s mole. It was the only reason why I didn’t drag Siren into a dungeon to interrogate her as soon as she returned. “What now?” She shifted her gaze between us. “Do you want me to leave so you discuss what to do about Inferno?” “No need. You can stay. You are one of us, after all
Devil In Disguise Early morning attack
Angelica If there was a bullshitting contest, I would certainly win gold. What the hell was that about giving up on my dream to become a lawyer because it would be meaningless? To be fair, I wouldn’t buy it if someone else spun such a tale on me. I was either too convincing for anyone to suspect a thing or Curtis was more gullible than I thought—I would bet on the former. It was one of the perks of having a face that everyone thought looked innocent. “So, do you have anything in mind?” He asked.“Not at the moment.” I spun yet another tale. “I might just find another part time job.” As an assassin, that is. Before I met Curtis, I always assumed my life would end a month from now, in the grand scheme I had concocted to get all the Arcieros in one place for my revenge plan. I hadn’t realized it yet but I didn’t care whether I lived or died back then. I had never felt alive ever since Uncle Robert died, anyway. But now, I wasn’t sure I wanted to die. At least not so soon, using my o

“If you wanted to kill me, you should have simply said so.” I panted, wobbling off the treadmill with trembling legs. I was sweating buckets while Curtis didn’t look like he’d run the same ten miles I had run. He pulled two cotton towels off the rack and threw one at me. “Your stamina is shit.” He grunted. Wait until I chop your vocal cords off, then we can talk about how epic my stamina needs to be. I thought, but what I said was the exact opposite. “Maybe you can help with that?” I felt a jolt in my leg and instantly added, “if you don’t make me run my legs off, that would be nice.” He dumped his towel in the basket at the side, his sigh telling everything his mouth couldn’t. “I’ll find you a personal trainer.” That wasn’t what I was going for. I dabbed at my face and threw my towel in the basket along with his, using the chance to inch closer. “Don’t you want to train me?” “I’ll be too easy on you. Can’t go all out when you’re halfway toward your grave, can I?” He loomed over m
Devil In Disguise Setting himself up for failure
Curtis “Why would you think…” I stopped myself from asking why she thought I was going to kiss her. Since when was I put on the spot like this? “I didn’t want to cross a line.” She blinked, waiting for me to add something. When I didn’t, she scoffed. “You aren’t even trying to make up a good lie. What line would you possibly cross that hasn’t been crossed before? You’ve been in my mouth.” And it would be best if she didn’t talk about that. I could still feel her tongue on me, warm, smooth, and wet, gliding up my length as she twirled it around me. I was already hard before she brought it up. I had to adjust my posture and hope she didn’t lower her gaze and see exactly why I wanted to keep my distance. Alas, she wasn’t buying my excuse, so I had to tell her the truth. “Is it because you think I’ll fall in love with you?” She asked. “Heavens, no.” I was starting to think I wouldn’t really mind that happening. I must be sick in the head to even let my mind go in that direction. “I

Angelica Curtis returned faster than I thought, his mouth practically watering. “Can I have my breakfast now?” He asked, but instead of taking his seat, he slid up behind me and grabbed my waist. For a second, I wasn’t sure whether he was talking about the pancakes or something else. Pretending not to understand his double meaning, I scooted away and plated his pancakes. “Here. Do you want anything with it?” “Jasmine syrup.” He answered without flinching. I eyed the jasmine tea he had asked a maid to bring earlier and raised a brow. Was he addicted to jasmines? What an odd preference. Keeping that in mind, I took my seat just as Maverick walked into the dining room. “Maverick?” Curtis was as puzzled as I was. “Hey Ricky.” I waved at him. The elderly man tried his best to ignore me but his face still cracked a smile. I took that as a chance to win him over. “Do you want to join us for breakfast? I accidentally made too much.” That was a lie. I knew Maverick was on his way over t
Devil In Disguise Secrets of the Arciero mansion (3)
I should have covered my hair up before coming down here. Spider would roast me for ages if I told him that but this room was so white and sterile that I was certain a strand of my hair would stand out if it dropped anywhere. I was relieved when I found a light switch and turned it on. After taking more pictures, I set a timer for ten minutes and got to work. Within two minutes, I couldn’t decide whether Curtis was less cautious than he appeared or arrogant as fuck. I had found a vault and its passcode wasn’t even activated. For a moment, I thought that was because there was nothing inside but that was until I saw the photo album lying inside. After cautiously checking for booby traps, I took it and set it on the nearest counter to open it. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the photos. Some of them were poor quality from many years ago and I needed to take a closer look but they were mostly pictures of the Arciero family. There was a myriad with Curtis and Crystal—Jeez, s
Devil In Disguise In the stars
The drive to Silverwood Psychiatric Hospital was nerve-wracking. It should have been the time I got to bug Spider for more information about the vault because he was just that kind of human being. He wouldn’t tell me anything without hours of back-and-forth and eventually coercion. However, I couldn’t do any of that in Curtis’s car when I couldn’t be sure whether or not there was a hidden camera. Biting my tongue, I pulled into the hospital and checked in, then let Gia show me to the garden where Crystal supposedly was. She was visibly uncomfortable around me so I didn’t try to strike up a conversation, only following her lead. Crystal was sitting on a bench next to a patch of roses, head cast down as she mumbled something to herself. She looked nothing like she was the previous two times. I had been scared she would be disappointed when I got out of Curtis’s car instead of him but this was worse. Seeing her like this was gnawing at me. “Feel free to call me if you need me.” Gia of
