The Devil and his Shadow
Mateo Rossi,
in three words, the devil himself. The man who brought his mafia back to life.
The man who has a special place in hell saved just
for him.
Isabella Valentino,
The only daughter of Romano Valentino, once known a...
They think they're sneaky with hiding the cameras in the space I'm meant to call a bedroom.
It is not a bedroom. It's a cell disguised as one.
I found all of the cameras they hid in less than two days.
One, that was badly hidden in the corner of the ceiling, I was looking at right now.
I knew they were watching me right now. They were watching and analyzing the way I killed the maid.
I don't regret killing her. I don't care about her. She was nothing to me—just another death.
I know what they're trying to do. They are waiting for me to fall asleep, so they can remove the body and clean the mess I've made. They've repeated the same process three times already.
Most of the time I pretended to fall asleep, simply because I didn't want to experience the smell of a rotting corpse in my presence.
I was moved here a month ago. Right after my wedding.
Since then I haven't seen anyone, except my husband.
However, the simple thought of calling him that made me gag.
I have been in this bed ever since I came, only leaving for matters such as going to the bathroom and trying to kill Rossi.
I finally look away from the camera, and seconds later close my eyes. The sight to my left was already pissing me off. The blood coloring my white rug into a shade of red.

A knock at my door woke me up from my slumber. Somewhere along the way waiting for the men to clean up the mess I've made I must've fallen asleep.
I went to grab the gun I held closest to me, but when I felt the empty sheets my eyes opened in shock. I wasn't only unable to find my gun, but all of my weapons were missing.
Anxiety started to settle in as two figures came through the door, but I simply calmed myself by remembering all the martial arts I had perfected over the years.
I prepared myself for the worst when I spotted two familiar friendly faces smiling at me.
My face lit up and I jumped out of bed when my brain realized who was in my room.
Sofia and Lorenzo. I ran up to them and embraced them, maybe a little too tightly. They returned it immediately, making Lorenzo burst out laughing from joy.
They came to me like a splash of cold water on a hot day, instantly increasing my good mood.
By the time we stopped hugging, I've already forgotten about the dead maid, or the many failed attempts of killing Rossi.
All that mattered was that they were here. I didn't care how they got here, or how long they were staying. What mattered was that they were here now, and I was going to make every single minute of it worth it.
"We're going out tonight."
