OWNED BY THE DEVIL 4

AURELIO'S POV

AURELIO'S PENTHOUSE

India was hot. Loud. Overcrowded. Disorganized. I hated it already.

But I had come for blood.

The traitor Sergio had fled here, thinking he could hide in the filth. Coward. And cowards always died in my hands.

But the day didn’t go as planned.

No.

Because she happened.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*flop on the bed* when the first time I saw her, I lost my mind. I decided to let you go but-

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*something flicker in his eyes* but you came infront of me again, it can't be coincidence right? Maybe we are fated, so now I won't let you go

FLASHBACK OF THIS EVENING

Marcello drove while Lorenzo sat Beside me, tossing peanuts into his mouth like this was some kind of sightseeing trip.

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

Hey, Leo. Ever thought of trying yoga? Might help with that anger.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

Say yoga one more time and I’ll break your nose. *said coldly*

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

*roll his eyes*

MERCELLO [ML RIGHT HAND]

You should know better, Lorenzo Sir. *laughed*

I leaned my head against the tinted window, scanning the streets.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

India is so crowded and hot *said calmly*

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

Yeah but i think India is also beautiful *tossed one peanut into his mouth*

I wasn't expecting anything.

But then I saw her.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*forget to breathe for a second*

ANVI SINGH [FL]

*crossing road without knowing someone was watching her*

She was crossing the road. Loose ponytail. Simple kurta. Earphones in. Not trying to be seen.

But I saw her.

And my f*cking heartbeat paused.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*touched the window*

Her eyes — wide, brown, unaware. Her skin — like warm sunlight.

ANVI SINGH [FL]

*smiles listen to music*

And her smile…

It wasn’t for me.

Yet I wanted it to be.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

Stop the car. *said coldly*

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

What? *confused*

MERCELLO [ML RIGHT HAND]

What happened boss? *asked confusing*

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

I said stop the goddamn car. *extremely cold voice*

MERCELLO [ML RIGHT HAND]

*stopped the car*

I got out, but she was already turning the corner.

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

Where are you going Leo-

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*looks around*

Gone.

I stood there in the middle of traffic, while drivers cursed and honked.

But I didn’t care.

Something inside me shifted.

Something dangerous.

• PRESENT •

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

I really thought that I won't drag you in my world but..m

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

But but but *eyes darken*

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

You yourself came infront of me again, now you can't blame me, can you?

That's when someone knocked on door

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*sat up* come in *cold voice*

Mercello and Lorenzo came in

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

*sat on sofa* phew

MERCELLO [ML RIGHT HAND]

Boss, that person didn't open his mouth

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*looks at him coldly*

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

And I had to killed him, tsk.. *shook his head*

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

That's not a problem, I'll catch sergil soon *said calmly*

MERCELLO [ML RIGHT HAND]

*nods*

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

And I want every detail on her. Name. Job. Where she lives. Who she talks to. Everything. *calm tone*

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

*smirked*

MERCELLO [ML RIGHT HAND]

*shocked* Boss, we have a traitor to catch—

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*snapped* Find her. The traitor can wait. She can’t. *said coldly*

MERCELLO [ML RIGHT HAND]

*nods* okay boss.

He nodded, quiet. He saw it in my face.

I wasn’t playing.

MERCELLO [ML RIGHT HAND]

*left*

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

*looking at Aurelio with smirk*

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*looks at him* what? why are you still here. Leave. *cold tone*

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

*chuckles* do you like that little girl, Aurelio?

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

none of you business, get lost. *dominant voice*

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

Okay, okay. I am going *stood up and walked towards door*

He was about to left but stopped

LORENZO MORETTI [ML FRIEND]

*turned* she is innocent Aurelio. Think again before doing anything *left*

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

I already did. And she'll be mine. *turned off the lights*

I sat in the dark, her image stuck in my head

Not her body. Not her curves.

But her eyes.

So soft. So pure.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

She didn’t belong in my world.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

But I didn’t care.

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

*eyes darken* She was going to be mine

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

No matter how much blood I’d have to spill for it. *said coldly*

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

She doesn’t know me yet. But she will. *smirk*

AURELIO ROMANO [ML]

And once I have her… she won’t escape. Even if she begs. *low voice*
