CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Off her life
She was too shocked to say a word. She just stared at him, with different thoughts running through her mind. She stood up and took slow steps towards him.“You grew up to be so beautiful.” Thomas commended, smiling at her. When she got close to him, her steps halted. “What…what are you doing here, sir?” She didn’t want to think it was what she was thinking. Everyone at the orphanage knew Thomas to be a good man. He always showed up with gifts and money, helping the kids in any area they needed help with. The head matron assumed Rebecca was his favorite because he was more concerned about Rebecca’s well being, than the others.“You don’t look happy to see me. I’m hurt.” He held his chest dramatically.“I…” She didn’t know the right words to say. She was perplexed.“I know you have many questions going through your mind right now, and I need you to calm down. Take a deep breath and ask accordingly, I’ll answer the ones I can.” He spoke softly. Her brows etched, and at tha

Regret; it was little to what Rebecca felt at that moment. This wasn’t how she pictured the conversation to end. Axel had made up his mind to go away from her life completely, and even though she had craved for this moment, it hit her like a storm. She had no where to go to, Eric was still searching for her. But being with Axel, was like an eighty percent safety guaranteed. Without him, she wouldn’t be able to hide from Eric for long, she wouldn’t be able to find the clan, she wouldn’t be able to claim her father’s properties. How could she be so foolish??? She cursed herself and ran after Axel, calling his name repeatedly, but neither did he stop nor turned. She hastened her steps and was able to get to his front, finally stopping him from walking further. She panted heavily, trying to catch her breath. He stared down at her, his face expressionless. Even though he didn’t display any expression, she could tell the question going through his mind;What do you want?

She could feel his hot breath on her face and she was tempted to open her eyes to see how close his face was. Just as she was about to do so, she felt his soft lips on hers. Her breath hitched immediately, and even though she knew it would lead to this, it still took her by surprise. His lips were warm and soft, and as he sucked her lower lip into his mouth, she felt a spark of electricity. Her body remained still, her legs stayed rooted to the ground as if they were glued there. All of a sudden, he pulled away, leaving her hanging with her eyes closed. Rebecca felt he stopped because she wasn’t reciprocating. To confirm if her assumption was right, she located his neck and wrapped her hands around it. She leaned it, and when she couldn’t feel his lips, she opened her eyes. She felt ashamed when Axel chuckled, but it transformed to satisfaction when he claimed her lips. Her eyelids closed voluntarily and her hand tightened around his neck as she gave in to the worl

Axel stared at her for a while without saying a word, obviously wondering why she changed her mind and decided to ask for his help.“For?” He asked after a brief moment of silence.“I want to get rid of someone?” Rebecca’s eyes darkened as she said those words. Axel was left surprised because Rebecca wouldn’t think of hurting someone no matter what. He concluded that she had a reason for it, but he wouldn’t ask her. After all, Rebecca wouldn’t hurt someone innocent.“Who?” She didn’t reply immediately, she was skeptical about it. She knew if she said it, Axel would do it immediately and there will be no going back.“The driver. He was part of the plan.” She was hesitant, contemplating on if she should just let it be. But when she recalled how she screamed when the driver twisted her hand, and the hurtful words he said to her, she waved the second thought off and stared at Axel.“I want him tortured, I want to see him beg for death.” Now Axel was tempted to ask her why. The g

Kira fought back the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. She wasn’t hurt because of the pains from the knife, although it was painful but she had experienced more greater pains than that. She was hurt because she just realized Axel didn’t care about her. If he did, he wouldn’t ask her to hurt herself because she failed to protect Rebecca. She expected him to go easy on her because it wasn’t entirely her fault. Her blood dropped on the floor and she knew she had to go out before the floor got stained with more. As she walked out of the room, she came across Trent, he was heading to the room.“Is Axel in?” He asked. She ignored his question and walked past him. On a normal day, she wouldn’t dare to ignore him, but today she wasn’t in her right frame of mind, she was hurt. Trent found it unusual, so he went after her. “Is everything okay?” He got to her front and forced her to stop walking. Now he could get a clear view of her face and his brows creased when

Rebecca hit her forehead in frustration. She was literally tired of going from one trouble to another. Just this morning she was abducted by Axel’s father, and now this? If this was how the dark world worked then she was starting to regret getting into it. She missed her normal life, where she would wake up and just go to work.“By who?” She asked curiously. “I don’t know. Come check it out.” Kira said. She rushed to where Kira was and stared at the computer screen where she saw two truck outside and more than ten masked men standing outside the gate with guns in their hands.“Oh jeez.” She covered her mouth with her palm, removing it after some seconds later. “What do we do now?”“It will be hard for them to get in. There’s a passcode, and even if they want to manipulate it, it will be so hard. So before then, we’ll figure something out.” Kira explained, rushing her words.“Should we call Axel?” That was the only thing Rebecca could think of.“No. He’s also in a tough situati

As kira ran down the hall way, she kept looking back to see if the men chasing after her were closer, and when she noticed there was a huge distance between them, she rushed into the room at the end of the hallway only to find one of the masked men there. Regardless of his presence, she locked the door and turned to him.“Who are you?” He asked, pointing his gun at her. Kira dropped her gun on the floor and raised her two hands up. “I don’t mean no harm.” She said, as she slowly approached him.“Where is the lady?” He questioned.“You mean Rebecca? Your boss has her already.” Kira replied, she was almost close to him. When she heard footsteps ascending, she knew the men chasing her were close. She moved her gaze to the laptop at the bedside table and calculated how many steps she had to take just to get there. A loud bang was heard outside and she knew her mission was almost impossible.“You can’t escape!” The thick voices of the men were heard.“Come on doll, you’ve been cau

Rebecca was a bit confused. “Our savior? Who?” She questioned curiously.“Axel.” Kira replied, her smile broadened. Rebecca’s confusion doubled. Eric had gotten rid of all the CCTV footages and there was no way Axel would know they were taken by him. And how was he able to find the address? It was questioning. If it was true the person who rode the car outside was Axel, how did Kira know? And why wasn’t she also confused?“There’s something you aren’t telling me, right?” Kira kissed her teeth. “Maybe, but now it’s not the right time. Get ready to leave this shit hole.” She shrugged her shoulders and stood alongside with Kira. A gunshot was heard and she flinched immediately. She exchanged looks with Kira, “What if…”“Not Axel.” Kira replied calmly. She was awed by the fact that Kira had so much faith in Axel. Another gunshot was heard, then another one, and another.“Why aren’t you bothered!” She flared up when she noticed Kira didn’t look stressed about the w

CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Pain
He jerked out of his thought when Rebecca suddenly screamed. “Ouch!” She screamed again as she grabbed her belly.“What’s going on?” Axel demanded, his voice sharp with panic as he held under her arm, stopping her from falling directly to the floor.“My… my stomach!” She cried, clutching it in pains. She felt another sharp pain in her lower abdomen and she screamed horrifically, unable to stop herself. The men around rushed to the scene immediately. They had been staring the whole time from the sidelines and when they saw how the situation escalated, they rushed in.“Get the car ready!” Axel instructed. She felt something warm rushing through her legs and at that moment, realization suddenly dawned on her. Tears streamed out of her eyes as she got hit by another pain, and the last thing she could remember was Axel carrying her in his arms and after that it was a total blackout.***** Axel stood outside the ward, with Kira beside him. He had his head covered with an hoodie
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL An imposter?
Axel moved his hand away from her hair. He had a confused look on his face. Ever since she returned from the mission, he could tell something was off about her, but he just didn’t know what it was. And suddenly asking for time alone proved his suspicions right.“You aren’t okay being here?” Rebecca shook her head. “Not that. I just need some time alone to reflect on myself.” “You don’t have time Rebecca, you need to get your father’s properties as fast as you can, hence you’ll lose it forever.” He warned, his eyes narrowing.“How?” She questioned curiously.“You don’t need to know about that. You just have to…”“That’s the problem, Axel.” She cuts in. “It’s frustrating how you keep leaving me in the dark and still want me to cooperate. If you’re really helping me, then I don’t think you should hide stuff like this from me. At this point, I think you are more concerned about yourself and whatever you are doing now is only going to benefit you and…” she stopped to catch her breat
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL She’s acting strange
She wanted to have a private talk with Fernando, something Axel and Kira wouldn’t know about. Besides, she wasn’t in the mood to continue with the mission, she would do what she came here for initially. She picked the smashed buds from the floor and went to flush it in the toilet to avoid suspicions. When she was done, she washed her face with water and took a breath. As she returned to the study room, Fernando had his gaze on her.“You promised you weren’t going to cry.” He said, upon noticing the water on her face.“I didn’t.” She replied calmly. “About what you were saying, do you have any idea on who wanted him dead, and why?” Those were the questions bothering her. If it really wasn’t an accident then they had to be a reason for it. Fernando cleared his throat and the two men at the door left the room immediately, leaving only her with him. He shifted closer to the edge of the couch and placed his hands on his laps. “What I’m about to tell you will come as a shock
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL The truth
When she got to where the men were, they pointed guns at her. “Who are you?” They asked in unison.“I am Rebecca Lu…”“Don’t.” She heard Kira’s voice from the bus. “Don’t say your surname.”“I am Rebecca.”One of the men scoffed. “Who cares about your fucking name?”“But you asked who I was and…”“Your identity!” He said firmly. “Is the boss expecting you?” “No, I…” Their grips on their gun tightened. “Then what are you doing here?”“Can you please call him and let him know Rebecca is here? Please.” To her surprise, they didn’t bulge. She watched as the guy touched the bud in his ear and spoke to whoever was at the other end.“Rebecca who?” She kept quiet, waiting for Kira to tell her what to say, since she stopped her earlier from saying her surname.“The daughter of his late friend, Michael.” She repeated what Kira told her. She noticed how the men observed her as she said that, and she couldn’t help but wonder why. The men exchanged looks after one of them whi
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Reality
Immediately Rebecca heard that, she pushed Kira’s hands off her shoulders and moved back. Her brows furrowed, forming wrinkles and from the look on her face, one could tell she was displeased by what she just heard.“You planned this with Axel, right?” She accused.“No. Axel doesn’t know about this, he doesn’t even care about the pregnancy…”“Then why do you care? Why do you want me to get rid of it?” She fired. Kira hit her forehead in frustration. “Here we go. This is why I never wanted to agree to help you.”“So getting rid of my baby is your definition of help?” She scoffed. “Make it make sense.”“Yes. The child belongs to Eric, and nothing can be hidden under the sun. He’s definitely going to find out one day, and that’s like an advantage to him cause with the child he has high possibilities of taking over your father’s properties.” Kira explained detailedly. Rebecca wasn’t still convinced, not for a bit. “Who is going to tell him? You? Axel? Aside both of you no one else
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL An alliance
Rebecca stood there in silence, contemplating on what to do. From Axel’s recent behavior, she began doubting if he really wanted to help her, or he needed her to accomplish his goals, because everything was always about him. But then, she didn’t have anywhere else to go, or who to help her. A thought suddenly crossed her mind. Fernando! He was a very good friend of her dad, and she was sure he would help her if she came clean to him. But then, how would she locate him? She turned, scanning the environment with her eyes, and her gaze landed on Axel who was at the shooting range alone. Taking a deep breath, she approached him just when he was about to shoot.“Hey.” She cooed. He spared her a stare before focusing on what he was doing.“I’m sorry about earlier. I just…” she inhaled deeply. “I just didn’t know what to do. Fernando was so nice to me and dad and hearing about him after a long time might have sparked my reaction.” He didn’t reply her. He had his gaze focuse
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Not a tool
She was taken aback by his request. Steal? She had never stolen anything and Axel knew that. But what could the thing be and why didn’t Axel send someone else? Many thoughts filled her mind as she waited for him to explain further. She wrapped her hands around her breasts, not because she was shy, but because she suddenly felt cold. She clenched her thighs tightly, trying so hard to surpress the urge to grab Axel and make him do the dirtiest stuff she had in mind. Axel didn’t speak, there was a deafening silence between them and she knew he wouldn’t say anything if she refused to speak first.“Steal what?” He moved closer to her. “I’ll tell you full details later, but for now….” He grabbed her neck roughly and a light gasped escaped her lips. “Let’s make you cum.” With his hand still on her neck, he pushed her to the wall and her back hit the wall roughly.“Shouldn’t we go to a room.” She asked beneath her breath. She was already feeling the tension.“Why would

When she got outside, she let out a deep breath.“Fuck. That was tough.” She muttered. If it wasn’t for the signals Axel gave her, she wouldn’t had been able to handle the situation. She noticed the two guys outside bowed immediately she stepped out and she’s left with a question.How powerful was Michael Lucas before he died? He seemed to be feared and respected and despite being his daughter, she felt she didn’t know him well. The only side she knew was his jovial side, and his caring side. If only death didn’t take him from her. Her lips pressed as she recalled the day of the accident and she wished she died alongside her parents because life was too harsh on her. After one last glance at the men, she walked away. She was able to locate the swimming pool after wandering about the big compound. She sat by the pool side, took off her sandals and dipped her legs in the pool, feeling the coolness.Goosebumps of cold prickled her skin. It felt refreshing and when sh
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Standing up for herself
Rebecca stepped out of the bathroom, her body dripping wet of water. Instead of wrapping her body with the towel, she wrapped her head with the only towel available. She was surprised to see Kira in the room, seated on the bed with a black dress and sandal beside her. The room was specially assigned to her by Axel to stay for the meantime. It was spacious and simple, just as she liked it. They weren’t irrelevant decors, just the lamp nn the bedside table and a small book shelf which was filled with books, then other necessary stuff. She liked reading and was sure Axel gave her this room on purpose.“You can’t be walking around naked.” Kira shrugged as Rebecca walked towards her.“Didn’t know someone was here.” Rebecca replied as she picked the gown from the bed.“Courtesy?” “Axel wants you to put it on.” Kira informed. She observed the dress for a while before moving her gaze to Kira. “It’s late for goodness sake, why should I put this on?” It was a long black sleeveless go
