Chapter: Eye for an eye As she walked out of the hall, a lone tear dropped from her eyes and at that instant, she began cursing Felix. He was the genesis of all her problem. If she didn’t elope with him she wouldn’t be here getting humiliated by Harry in front of many people. Upon getting close to the reception, she wiped the tear off her face and kept a straight face. She was tempted to ask the receptionist for cash but that would be a slap to her face. She ignored the lady’s scorching gaze and walked out of the company. There wasn’t any cash with her, she had no money to go back home. Home? She didn’t even have anywhere to go. She didn’t want to go back to the same person who humiliated her, she was scared he might do worse if she went back to his house.“Miss Zara.” She turned back immediately she heard her name. To her surprise, she found Harry’s cousin there. She wanted to snap at him and ask why he was calling her name, but then she decided not to pass aggression on. “Hey.” “Harry asked

Chapter: The ‘board meeting’ The drive to the company was silent. While Harry was busy with his laptop, Zara watched him, trying to see what he was doing. Despite seeing the screen, she couldn’t understand what he was busy doing. She shrugged her shoulders and looked away, staring at the outside views as the car rode speedily.“I’m not supposed to tell you this, but your father called.” Harry suddenly said. She looked at him immediately. Her eyes flashed in surprise. “He did?” “Yes.” “Why?” She asked curiously.“He said he was worried about how you were doing and why you came back to California looking homeless. He asked if I knew where you were.” Her brows furrowed. She found his words unbelievable. “Why would he ask you? You are the last person that comes to anyone’s mind when…”“He saw the photos, the one that was posted the day you called for help.” He cuts her off.“The one at the restaurant?”“Yes. He said he saw us together, and wanted to know if I knew where you were and why you came back to Cali

Chapter: His touch Zara grabbed the bottle of water through to her by her gym instructor. She uncovered it quickly and gulped down the whole liquid, gasping for breath after that.“I can’t do this anymore.” She fell to the floor, breathing heavily. They had been training for about an hour and it wasn’t even a light training. She had to lift heavy weights, do squats and lots more. It had been a week since the gym instructor arrived in California and started his session with her, and she couldn’t tell if there was a difference. Harry wasn’t home, he went for a business trip three days ago and she didn’t even feel his absence, maybe because they rarely talk while he was at home.“If you continue this way, it will be hard for you to lose weight quickly.” The gym instructor lamented. He was a forty five years old man, but he looked way too younger than his age. He was huge and tall, and Zara could swear he had great six packs beneath his shirt, it was even glaring from his tight gym shirt.“It’s just

Chapter: Her rage Harry’s mansion* The big TV in the living room was displaying an high school show which used to be Zara’s favorite, and on the couch directly opposite the TV was seated Zara. Despite it being one of the shows she used to like much, she wasn’t watching it. Her gaze was fixed on it but her mind was somewhere else, thinking about someone she wasn’t supposed to. She returned from the company and when she got bored, she decided to watch a movie at home, but she couldn’t focus. No matter how hard she tried to deny it, she couldn’t hide the fact that Felix’s betrayal hurt her deeply.The days they laughed together, the days they played together, his smile, his touch, his handsome face, she couldn’t deny the fact that she missed all that. If only money could buy back time, she would have desperately looked for money to go back in time and experience all that again. She missed him so much that it hurts. It hurts because he wasn’t who she think he was. She ought to despise him and forg

Chapter: Her get back The driver was resistant but he couldn’t protest. After more than thirty minutes of driving in silence, the car arrived at a tall building with sleek glass. The building exudes elegance and success, and one wouldn’t doubt before investing. The driver came to open the door for her and as she stepped out, she was hit by the cool breeze which sent her hair flying back. She found her way into the company and when she got to the reception, the receptionist bowed her head, welcoming her. With a smile on her flawless face, the receptionist spoke, “Welcome to…”“Where’s Harry’s office?” She cuts her off. The smile disappeared from the lady’s face with the same speed it came. “Excuse me, miss. You can’t just come barging into the company and asking for the CEO’s office. You have to schedule a meeting with him. Or have you? Do you have an appointment with him?” The girl questioned, trying so hard not to sound rude. Zara scoffed loudly. “I don’t need an appointment to see Harr

Chapter: Annoyance She dropped her phone beside her, lost in thoughts. The lady wouldn’t just wake up and decide to apologize for body shaming her, there was more to it. She picked up her phone and tried to message the lady but she found out that the account had been deactivated immediately.“Strange.” She mumbled. As she scrolled through, most of the news were talking about the lady that apologized to her. The comments under the posts were saying the lady did well by apologizing and it made her wondering. Weren’t most of the comments also body shaming her yesterday? She suddenly thought about her dad and her lips curled into a smile.“He couldn’t stand his daughter getting body shamed, despite pretending he doesn’t care about me anymore.” She giggled. She typed a thank you, letting him know she was grateful for what he did by making the girl do an apology video and she sent the message to him but he didn’t reply. She went to freshen up and changed her clothes, waiting for Harry’s return.

She sat on the bed and started thinking."I don't know if I am making the right choice right now, like seriously did I do the right thing forgiving him?Well, it wasn't his fault tho, it absolutely wasn't. I am afraid the person who framed me might do something bad now that we are back together, and also I am curious to know what Brandon's dad is hiding. I should probably call him"She searched around and didn't see her phone, that was when it dawned on her that she had forgotten it in Brandon's car."And where on earth is Brandon" She muttered and stood up.She walked to the door and held the handle, she was about opening it when it opened and Brandon walked in."Speak of the devil, here you are".Brandon smiled, he walked in

CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL
"Do anyone have reasons why this couples shouldn't get married?" The priest had asked.
The bride found the question not necessary because she was sure there was no one against their union, but surprisingly to her, three masked men harmed to the teeth stepped into the church and their presence alone sent shivers down the spines of everyone.
"We are against this union." One of them said grumpily.
"Who-who are you... And why-why are you against this union?" The priest managed to ask.
"Because our boss can't stand his lady getting married to someone else"
His reply left everyone dumfounded.

After moving out of the orphanage with her friends, Rebecca decided to start afresh and forget everything about her dark past, including everyone associated with it.

When she woke up the next day, she found herself in the devil's lair, the devil who haunted her in her dreams, the devil who once took what belonged to her. Her breath seized at that instant and she had to remind herself that whatever sin she would sin now would be killing the devil, not falling for him like she did in the past.
But will she be able to betray her heart? Will the devil let her kill him? And will he surrender to her vengeance, or does he have a trap waiting in the shadows?

Chapter: A competitor Rebecca chuckled dryly. “What stage of deception is this, Kira? I thought you’ll stop playing smart with me now that I’ve signed the contract. What is…”“You think I’m lying?” “I don’t think, I know!” She flared up. “You’re trying to say my dad cheated on my mum and even had an illegitimate son.” Kira sighed in frustration. Having knowing Rebecca for a while now, she knew Rebecca would react this way, so she wasn’t surprised, she was only frustrated.“Yes, your father cheated on your mum, with multiple women. He wasn’t a saint, Rebecca, but he was smart enough to act like one around you. Of all the woman he cheated on your mum with, Danny’s mum was his favorite and he had plans to marry her secretly and send her to another country, but unfortunately he was murdered before he could do so.” Jake explained, taking over from Kira who looked already tired. Rebecca shook her head in denial. “No, I won’t believe this.” Her father showered her mum with love, they loved each other so d

Chapter: “The spa” Rebecca’s eyes flashed in surprise. “You want us to go to Paris?” She asked to be sure she heard well. Axel stared at her for a while before letting out a dry chuckle. “You act quite well, Becca. Seeing how excited you are to go to Paris, one would think you haven’t been there.” Her eyes narrowed. It was true she had been to Paris before, but how did Axel know? “You went to Paris with that son of a bitch for honeymoon.” He answered, even before she could ask. Busted. She couldn’t deny it. “Yes.” Her voice was low. “Then why acting like you’re eager to see the Eiffel Tower when you’ve seen it before?” She heaved a sigh. “Before I found out the real truth about Eric, I wasn’t really that into him. I tried so hard to love him the way I thought he did but it wasn’t just happening. I had to get married to him because he had done a lot for me, and I also wasn’t in any other relationship…” Axel listened patiently, waiting for all what she had been saying to make sense. “Aft

Chapter: He’s also human As Axel got into his car, he let out a shaky breath. He had been trying to hold himself, trying not to break down in front of anyone, or even alone. To everyone else, he was Axel, the dreaded son of Thomas Leonard, the one who carried his father’s legacy, but only him knew what he was going through behind the scene. He didn’t have a say of his own, neither was he living his life the way he wanted. Ever since he was a teenager, he had always followed Thomas’s order, thinking his father knows well, but growing up he understood that Tomas was using him for his own benefit. He wasn’t living like his son, but as a tool. While his two siblings decided what to do with their lives and how to live it, he was exceptional. Unlike them, he was a living shadow, reflecting whatever his father wanted him to. All he wanted was to study law and live happily but he could still remember the words his father told him when it was time for him to write the entrance exam.“Do you think you’ll be

Chapter: A powerful alliance Rebecca was taken aback by Kira’s words. If they weren’t going to the spa, where was Kira taking her to? And why did she lie?“Where are you taking me to?” She was calm, she didn’t want to get paranoid. Kira spared her a stare. “You’ll see when you get there. For now, I need you to stay calm, and just trust me. Okay?” Trust someone? Never again. But she had hope that Kira wouldn’t try to hurt her or do anything that would cause her harm.“Don’t make me regret this.” Kira returned her focus to the road. “I won’t.” Rebecca took a deep breath, hoping everything goes well. She was sure Axel would look for her if Kira tried shit.********* Axel stared at his phone for the umpteenth time. He had secretly texted Trent to call him and pretend something urgent came up, so he could leave, but Trent wasn’t replying his text, which was weird. He didn’t like the situation he was in. He was unwillingly having lunch in don Alessandro’s dining hall with the people he didn’t like seeing

The fuck?” She couldn’t keep her calm. Barely thinking of it made her cringe. Seduce Trent? Axel’s friend like a brother? “I can bet on my life that Axel didn’t plan this with you. Where on earth did you get such irritating thoughts from?”“Calm down.”“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down!” She snapped. “What do you take me for?” Kira hit her forehead in frustration. “This is the problem you have. Allow me to explain!” It took a lot for Rebecca not to say a word. Only the sound of her breathing heavily was heard.“I want us to go for spa treatment, just the both of us. But Trent would insist on coming along for your safety and I want it to be just two of us, so I could tell you about what I found out and also take you to the private investigator…”“How does seducing him help?” She cuts in.“Okay may

Chapter: Hot deal With Axel’s intense gaze on her, she felt pressured and it would be a shame to her if she didn’t reply the question. Slowly, she looked up at him. “Your actions, Axel, they speak a lot. Except you’re only pretending, and if that’s the case, I must say you’re doing a great job. You should consider joining Hollywood.” She didn’t intend to crack a mini joke, it just happened. She expected him to laugh or maybe chuckle, but nothing like that happened. His gaze remained hard and fixed on her, piercing deep as if he was staring into her soul. She shifted uncomfortably, wanting him to look away and when he didn’t, she looked down at the paper she was holding.“Are we still playing?” She had to say something to change the situation and the uncomfortable air.“No.” He replied curtly. His mood had changed and it made her wonder if she said anything wrong that instigated his change of mood.“Okay…” She stood up from the bed. “I should probably get going.” Axel didn’t say a word, in
