The Devils Devotion 🥀

Luigi Vitale has never been a man who asks twice. As Capo of Sicily’s feared La Mano d’Acciaio, he’s built an empire on loyalty, blood, and the understanding that his word is law. But Y/N doesn’t know any of that. All she knows is that the dangerously attractive Italian watching her from across the nightclub seems determined to make himself part of her evening. And eventually, her life. Fresh out of four years of lies, cheating, and heartbreak, Y/N has sworn off men who think they can tell her what to do. Unfortunately, Luigi Vitale has never been particularly interested in what other people think he can or cannot do. He has a business to run, enemies to bury, and a flight back to Sicily waiting. And he’s already decided he won’t be returning alone. Luigi doesn’t believe in forcing a woman’s hand. He simply believes that, with the right persuasion, she’ll eventually place it in his. But what happens when the one woman he wants refuses to play by his rules?

The nightclub is packed, music shaking the walls as Luigi Vitale sits in the VIP section handling business. Across from him, a visibly nervous associate struggles to explain three million dollars in missing funds.

Luigi Vitale

Three million dollars, Antonio. You lost three million dollars of my fucking money, and the best explanation you have is a misunderstanding?

Antonio

Signor Vitale, please. I swear I’ll have everything sorted by Monday.

Luigi Vitale

Tomorrow. Nine o’clock. My hotel. And I suggest you come with my money instead of another pathetic excuse.

Antonio quickly excuses himself, leaving Luigi alone with Matteo.

Matteo Ricci

You know, for someone supposedly enjoying a night out, you’re in a particularly shitty mood.

Luigi Vitale

And you’re doing very little to improve it.

Downstairs, Y/n is enjoying a much-needed night out with her friends. Valentina is dancing beside her while Malcolm stands nearby, nursing his drink.

Valentina Reyes

I swear to God, if Derek calls one more time tonight, I’m throwing somebody’s phone into traffic.

Malcolm Bennett

Why somebody’s phone? Throw Derek into traffic.

Valentina Reyes

See? This is why we’re friends.

Malcolm Bennett

I’m a problem solver.

Back in VIP, Matteo chuckles at something on his phone. Luigi barely notices, his attention having shifted toward the dance floor.

Matteo Ricci

What?

Luigi Vitale

The woman over there. Who is she?

Matteo Ricci

How the hell would I know?

Luigi Vitale

Then make yourself useful and find out.

Matteo Ricci

Christ, Luigi. Can’t you just introduce yourself like a normal person?

Luigi Vitale

Where’s the fun in that?

Luigi watches Y/n for another moment before standing and straightening his jacket.

Matteo Ricci

Where are you going?

Luigi Vitale

To introduce myself. Apparently, it’s what normal people do.

Matteo Ricci

We have a flight back to Sicily on Monday.

Luigi Vitale

Then it’s fortunate today is Friday.

Matteo shakes his head as Luigi makes his way downstairs. He moves through the crowd, eventually stopping beside Y/n with an easy, charming smile.

Luigi Vitale

Buonasera, bella. Forgive the interruption, but I’ve spent the last twenty minutes trying to convince myself not to come over here.

His dark eyes settle on hers.

Luigi Vitale

As you can see, my self-control isn’t nearly as impressive as I’d like to believe.

He extends his hand.

Luigi Vitale

Luigi Vitale. And who might you be?
