ENTRAPPED BY THE DEVIL 37. Sharp Senses
[VECTOR]After riding the waves of pleasure, Lizzy is left in a state of near-exhaustion. She can barely stand on her own, her body weak and her mind hazy. When I reach down to gather her into my arms, she doesn’t put up a fight as she normally would.Without hesitation, I carry her to my room, the place where she belongs, at least in my eyes. I’ve tried to be understanding and patient with her. I’ve given her the space and time to make her own choices, hoping she would choose me. But time and time again, she chose to keep her distance.She holds me responsible for the chaos that has turned her life upside down, and maybe I did have a role to play in it. However, the truth is, I have no regrets about putting an end to her abusive father’s life. I would do it all over again without a second thought if it meant freeing Lizzy from his heartless clutches.But if I know Lizzy as well as I think I do, her anger and pain aren’t just because of what I did to her father, but because of the per
ENTRAPPED BY THE DEVIL 38. Overthinking
Xavier felt a rush of anxiety as he arrived at his home—a grand, white mansion surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens and dense woods stretching across acres of land. His sleek, black shoes clicked against the stamped concrete driveway as he hurriedly ascended the steps leading to the white-marbled porch, striding swiftly through the entrance hall.“Hazel!” he called out, his complexion drained and worn. Just an hour ago, he had received a phone call from Hazel’s school informing him that she had fallen ill, having vomited twice and running a high fever. Acting on his instructions, the bodyguard, who usually remained unseen to avoid disrupting Hazel’s daily routine, sprang into action and promptly brought her home.When he had heard of what happened, Xavier had dropped everything he was doing, left his office in a rush and drove straight home, too. It took a few minutes longer than usual, what’s with the lunchtime rush?—but he made it as soon as he possibly could.However, befor
ENTRAPPED BY THE DEVIL 39. Don't Stop
[LIZZY]I’m not exactly sure how long I slept, but when I woke up again, I felt incredibly well-rested. There were no scary dreams to startle me awake, and there were no sudden surprises as soon as I opened my eyes. I just lay there, placing my hands on my stomach, and gazed up at the ceiling, loving this new feeling of flapping wings in my stomach.As I sat up and rubbed my eyes, clutching the sheets close to my chest, I knew what had happened last night. Once again, I gave in to temptation and didn’t regret a single moment of it. I’m fully aware that both of us are deeply flawed, and our past is incredibly messed up at best. However, last night served as a stark realization for me, at least for myself.Ever since I first laid eyes on him at the Perazzo mansion, I’ve loved that man. I can still vividly recall the way he used to glance at me, as if I disgusted him beyond imagination. He did everything possible to push me away and keep one hell of a distance between us. Yet, I was stub
ENTRAPPED BY THE DEVIL 40. Volcanic Rage
After Xavier’s car left her at the closest dock, she boarded a water bus and took a seat next to an elderly woman who appeared preoccupied with searching through her bag.“What a lovely sunny day, don’t you think?” she said to the older woman, turning to face her. “Can I assist you with something?”The elderly woman raised her eyes and smiled. “I can’t find my wallet. It must be somewhere in there. Unfortunately, I forgot my glasses at home.”“Let me help,” she offered, reaching into the bag. After a bit of searching, she retrieved a black leather wallet.The woman expressed gratitude by giving her a chocolate bar.“Oh, you really don’t have to,” she replied.“Please, I insist. It’s rare to find kind-hearted people these days.”The elderly woman got off the water bus at the next stop, while she remained seated. After two more stops passed, she finally got up, disembarked, and walked along the path for three minutes straight. Numerous tourists and locals passed by, conversing in differ
ENTRAPPED BY THE DEVIL 41. Better Not Play Hard To Get
“It was a fucking trap!” Vector snarled, his hands slamming down on the table as he shot an intense glare at Marcus, who sat opposite him. Two large men stood behind Marcus, both suited up and sporting icy expressions. “And we fell right into it.”“Yeah, we sure as shit did,” Marcus replied calmly, but the deep creases on his forehead gave away his tension. Everyone in the room was on edge. None of the guys they sent in for the assault came back, and neither did the gang they were targeting. It was clear that while they were focused on wiping out the local gangs, they totally underestimated the fact that a third player had joined the fucking game, and that seriously pissed off Marcus.“I don’t need a damn confirmation, Marcus. I need to know what the fuck is going on?” Vector backed away and stood tall, pacing behind his desk. “This attack was your goddamn responsibility, and I was told that everything was fucking sorted.”“It was,” Marcus sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Unt

[LIZZY]A part of me still finds it hard to believe that I am doing this. Not only am I allowing him to do as he pleases with me, but I am also lowering all my guard so he could catch a glimpse of my desire for him—the one that I never really gave up.I know, considering everything I have been through and everything I have known about his part in snipping my life in two directions, I should be the last person on earth to let him touch me the way he does, to find joy in the way his dark eyes soak me in like I’m the best fucking thing in the world. But I can’t help it. I just can’t. There are countless reasons why I should keep myself away from his toxic presence and the dangerous consequences he could bring to the peaceful life I always envisioned for myself, but somehow they all fall short.Nothing can convince me that I don’t want this—with him—right now. Because I do. I really, really do. I want him so badly that I might kill myself if he doesn’t push himself inside me in the next f
ENTRAPPED BY THE DEVIL 43. So Close, Baby
[VECTOR]After the disaster of a day I had, I was exhausted and pissed off. So, when I walked through the door and saw Lizzy all cozy on the couch, I couldn’t help but want to grab her and whisk her off to my bedroom.But fuck, that also meant I wasn’t up for any more goddamn rejection. I craved her like a fucking addict. She was the only one who could bring me a moment of sanity in the midst of all this mess. Her touch and the sound of her gorgeous voice had this uncanny ability to make me forget all the bullshit.But that was a good half an hour ago.Now, I can’t be gladder to have her on my bed. Naked and willing.I watch her bare body crawl backwards, and I swear there is nothing more sexier than that. The dim room throws a shimmer on her blue eyes while I tune out the background hum of the conditioner. The sheets beneath her knees make a soft rustling sound as she shuffles back, her warm thighs straddling me as she positions herself on my lap.I don’t think I have the patience to
ENTRAPPED BY THE DEVIL 44. Biased Judgement
[LAURA]“Are you always such a chatterbox, agent Jorden?” Agent Dickens quipped, breaking the silence as we sat in the boat he insisted on hiring to take me home. I had made it clear that I didn’t need a chauffeur, but some men are stubborn as hell. Dickens was certainly one of them.I arched an eyebrow, giving him a brief, skeptical look. “Well, some of us prefer to let our actions do the talking. You know, the strong and silent type.”He chuckled, his eyes scanning our surroundings as the boat smoothly sailed through the water. “Fair enough. But I have a feeling there’s more to your quiet demeanor than meets the eye.”I let out a humorless chuckle. “Everyone has layers. No one is as simple as they may seem at first glance. I’ve learned that people are often hiding something, whether it’s their past, their true intentions, or their own demons.”His gaze returned to me, as he settled in the seat more comfortably. “What about Xavier Perazzo?” he inquired with a slight narrow of his eye
