In a dark corner, somewhere far from the area where the incident had just happened, a bike was seen parked in front of a figure seated on the floor.

It was Axel. He had a cigarette placed in between his lips. He looked lost. His inner demons were fighting inside him, urging him to locate Whitney that night and have her flesh fed to the lions, but of what use would it be?

The reason for all these was Rebecca, he wanted her back, he needed her in his life. But after what happened earlier, he knew he didn’t stand a chance to win her over, he finally knew she had erased him completely from her heart.

Over the years, he had watched her from a distance and had saved her in ways she didn’t know. He made it possible for her to get employed in one of the biggest hospital even without her having enough experience. From a distance, he made sure she got whatever she wanted, it summed up for his kind of person.

Betrayal was something common in the mafia world, it wasn’t a news anymore. But

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   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

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   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

    “Are you insane?” Rebecca flared up. She was sure she heard Kira right. “Are you drunk or probably high?” Kira scoffed. “Relax. Stop making a big deal out of it.” “It is a big deal. 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

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   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

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   An interesting game

    The silence in the room was deafening, despite the fact that both people in the room had so much to say to each other. The situation made Rebecca uncomfortable. She broke the silence.“Heard you wanted to see me.” Axel didn’t say a word, he only nodded in accord to her words.“So?” She trailed off, urging him to speak up. “I’m here now.” Axel sat next to her on the bed, his gaze fixed on her while she stared down at her hands.“And once again, I’ve made an excuse for you.” She looked at him immediately he said that.“You didn’t trust me, you tried to play the game, and I understand.” He mumbled softly.“No.” She shook her head. “Do not cover up for me. What I did was wrong, and I’m going to leave after recovering…”“That’s…”“I do not resent you for sending me away, Axel.” She cuts him off. “I’d do same if I was in your shoes.”“Have anywhere to go?” Axel asked. She stayed quietly, not knowing what to say. She had no where to go, but she didn’t want to admit it.“If you do n

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Face to face with the devil

    Before her knees could touch the ground, she stood on her feet and turned. Relief washed over her when she saw Axel walking towards her, with Trent beside him.“Good that you are here, Axel.” Fernando said. Axel walked past Kira and stopped when he got close to Fernando. He spared Rebecca a stare before fixating his gaze at Fernando.“There would be no bloodbath if you do as I say.” He spoke fiercely.“Why would I?” Fernando scoffed, crossing his arms on his each other.“You are in my clan.” Axel replied, staring directly at his eyes. “Take your men and get out the same way you came in.” Rebecca watched silently in fear, hoping things wouldn’t escalate to something serious. Her eyes dimmed when she noticed Axel reaching for the pocket in his jacket when Fernando didn’t make a move. She knew what he was reaching for and she just couldn’t stand there and watch things get worse without saying a word. She rushed to their middle and faked a smile at Fernando.“I’m okay, I swear.
