(Bright's POV)

Opening my eyes. I was hoping to see my apartment ceiling and just woke up from a nightmare.

But it was the same old concrete. I groaned in agony.

I pulled myself up using nothing, but the plain wall as support. I remember hearing someone calling my by my name before I passed out. My head ached as I tried to remember. I put my hand on the back of my head. My brows furrowed when I felt some type of fabric wrapped around my head.

I weakly untied the bandage on my head. A white cloth.

My eyes landed on a cold compress beside me. The ice has melted already and it caused a wet mark on the floor.

"What the hell?" I mumbled to myself. I thought I was just hallucinating. There was an actual person in here? "And he put this bandage and ice compress on me..."

Anyone would feel appreciative about this, but not for me. I'm in the most dangerous place I could ever be right now. You really don't expect me to appreciate kindness here. Everything in here will require something in return.

This room has only one door and I'm sure I heard that voice on the opposite side of the door. I slowly turned my head to the area I'm talking about. There, I saw the bed attached to the wall. Nothing special and suspicious about it.

I scanned the room with a painful head. My eyes stopped on the toothbrush on the sink. My eyes grew big.

"It's changed. It's new. It's the same color, but it's different," I talked to myself. I could be wrong. I wasn't in good shape when I entered this hellhole, but I'm sure that I see what I saw. It was an old disgusting toothbrush and now it's new.

The fuck?

"Maybe someone from the cleaning staff really did came in here and put this bandage on me." I looked at the toothbrush. "And perhaps changed that toothbrush too?" I closed my eyes at the silly thought. I genuinely have no idea how things work here. When do cleaning staffs come here to clean?

"Out!"

A loud voice of a man yelled outside the door. It sounded like he's telling everyone to come out. I weakly pulled myself up and linger by the door, waiting for someone to open it. My eyes landed on the small window. I see a hint of a morning light.

"It's the morning roll call! Everyone stand up behind their doors. Don't even try locking it. You already know the consequences," he said using some type of audio device. I sighed weakly. They didn't bother feeding me last night. Now, I feel weaker than ever.

Any food I eat would taste like heaven at this point.

I've always been curious what being a prisoner is like. It's not that I wanted to be one. It's just that, I go around arresting people for their crimes, but I'm never really sure what happens to them after. Are they being treated like animals like what the media is exaggerating on televisions?

My eyes grew big when the metal door suddenly sprung open in front of me. I thought it was going to be the same police officer from last night, but it's a new face.

"H-Hey..." is all I managed to say. He ignores me and went to the next cell beside mine.

My eyes automatically scanned the place as soon as I stepped out of the room. They are opening the cells one by one and each prisoner stands in front of their door. I decided to do the same.

"One!" A man loudly counted. My head tilted slightly.

"Two!"

"Three!"

"Four!"

And they started counting like everyone has their own number chant. I wonder what's mine.

They were counting one after another when they suddenly stopped counting at twelve. I looked at the guy who last counted then to the next prison cell before me. Nobody was standing there.

"He's on it again. Hahaha!" One of them said. I started to get more confused when all of them started laughing like this is a normal morning for all of them. Looks like this isn't the first time prisoner 13 didn't come out of his cell.

One of the officers prompted a colleague to check prisoner 13 inside his cell.

"Go straight to the cafeteria," they said. Everyone start to walk down the hall as soon as they heard him say that. I carefully stepped out and follow the sea of prisoners on the hall. I'd be lying if I tell you that I don't feel intimidated by their huge built. Almost everyone in here is as tall as Falaguerra.

Wait... Yes. That guy. Where is he?

I found myself on the cafeteria they are talking about. I was expecting a uniform line on the front where a long table with limited food servings accommodated by staffs are being served. Then, a bunch of officers guarding the area. But I was surprised to see them moving freely without watch.

"What the hell?" I mumbled to myself.

"Move!" Someone loudly said that behind me and the next thing I felt is a big force of hand pushing me to the side. If I were well and not hungry, I would have withstand the force, but the last time I tried to eat was last night and it was interrupted. Of course, I'm weak and I wasn't surprised when I fell down easily from his light push.

"WOAHHHH!" Everyone gasped from the fall I made. I accidentally pushed some chairs with me and that caught the attention of everyone.

"A-hole..." I whispered.

Just when I thought I'm the only one who heard what I said, the guy who pushed me frantically looked down at me. I had goosebumps all over my body when I finally got a better look at him.

Gawd! He's big. He's literally twice my size.

"What the fuck did you just say?" he said with gritted teeth. My face turned pale.

"U-Uhh..." I couldn't find words to respond to him. Even my own voice is betraying me right now by not letting me utter a single word.

"It's a new face, Missile." A guy with snake tattoo on his temples said. I bowed my head slightly. He has a group with him. Looks like I found the bully in this place.

"New face, huh?" he slurred. I gasped when he forcefully lifted my chin to look at him. I was still on the dirty floor and looking small while he's in front of me looking big with his hand on my face like I'm his prey or something.

"You wouldn't want to lay a finger on him."

The familiar deep voice made me look behind him.

"C—Cole..."

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 51 Underground Society

    (Bright’s POV) Damn. I thought Jade was going to kill me for a moment there. She has blood all over her face like she was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack me. It turns out she was just going to tell me that Cole is looking for me. I almost piss myself back there. I wonder if they're having their lover’s quarrel in the kitchen now. I can only imagine how jealous Jade must be right now. It’s weird, though. Jade can't seem to confess her feelings to Isaac. The latter is very clueless about what she feels. And now, I’m forced to be the one understanding their complex relationship. Why can't she just tell him the truth to get this over with? If she has enough courage to scare the hell out of me, then she should have enough courage to confess what she truly feels for Isaac, too. It’s not really that complicated. Besides, she’s a pretty cool woman. Any man would want to be with her. I’m sure that Isaac wouldn’t reject her.

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 50 Just A Sister

    (Third Person’s POV) Inside the grand kitchen, Bright and Isaac are busy cooking a traditional Italian dish that they randomly decided to make to kill some time together. Their laughter filled the silent corners of the Vendetta mansion as they played with each other in the fancy kitchen. Bright was serious about learning how to cook, but Isaac would always make fun of him for being clueless to almost everything in the kitchen. He would prank him about the smallest thing, like adding more salt to his soup when he’s not looking, or hiding the ladle when he knows he needs it. This was something he didn't expect from the “always serious” right hand of Cole. He seemed like a very different person since he shared his story with him. It’s like he opened his doors that were closed for the longest time. Even back in prison, he was always frowning and not talking to anyone. He’s just starting to realize how childish Isaac really is a friend. He’s the ki

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 49 Gift To Enemy

    (Bryan’s POV) “What did you find?” Father asked in a serious tone. I pulled out a brown folder from my professional bag. It contains everything he needs to know about that twink Cole is currently obsessing with. “Not much,” I said, a hint of boredom in my voice. “He’s just a lousy detective who got himself jailed for disclosing confidential information about Cole in his last stupid mission.” Father arched his brows curiously as he scanned the pages. “So, he was in the same prison as Cole?” I nodded. There isn't really anything worth reading at his profile. I don't see the reason why Cole would want to marry him. For fuck? Yeah. I get it. He’s cute. But marriage? That's like tainting his carefully built reputation for all these years. Why would he want to waste that spot on someone like Bright who has no Mafia background? He’s not going to help him in our business. I hope Fat

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 48 Jealousy, Jealousy

    (Bright’s POV) Wow. That's a hell of a long story. I should have believed him when he told me that he’s about to tell me a long one. I glanced at the window. The sun was still up when he started his dramatic backstory, but it’s dark outside now. I leaned back in my chair, still absorbing everything Isaac just told me. His past was insane. It wasn’t really easy how he got himself into the position where he is right now. It was blood, sweat, and tears. The risks he took to get to where he is now, how he ended up working for Cole—it’s overwhelming. I never expected this from him when I walked into the room. I tend to forget that some of them have lives and backstories, too. I didn’t know what to expect, honestly. Maybe some surface-level story, something vague and distant. But this? This feels raw. Something that came straight out of a documentary movie. I can’t even explain in words how fucked this all are to me. “W

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 46 Eight Years Ago

    (Isaac’s POV) [Eight Years Ago] My lungs are burning, but that didn’t stop me from running my life out those cops. My legs feel like they’re about to give out, but I didn’t dare to stop. I can’t. Just one second, and they’ll get me just like the rest. I’ve already lost some of the men I came with. And I’m not going to be one of them. The sirens are screaming behind me, but I didn’t dare to look back. I won’t, even if I could hear them bouncing off the buildings, like they’re just right behind me. I can hear it’s getting closer. Damn it. No matter how much I want to keep running, I am already running out of air. I can’t be having this asthma attack at this time. That’s just ridiculous! This won’t do. I have to rest for a second. I darted into a dark alley, pressing myself against the cold brick wall, hoping that I’d magically camouflage, and they wouldn’t be able to see me. My chest rose and fell, but I f

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 45 Handled Him?

    (Bright’s POV) I sat on the edge of my bed, scrolling through my phone, and pretending to be absorbed in whatever nonsense is on the screen. I think I was watching social media influencers doing pranks on people, then I somehow got myself into “other” types of social media influencers eating their food in front of the camera. Honestly, my mind is elsewhere. Cole hasn’t come back all day. The last time I heard from him was still the same time that I woke up without him beside me in bed. I just hate the fact that he’s always away like… I don’t even know why I care at this point It’s not like I want to see him, right? But after what happened today, after that dinner with his controlling psycho Daddy… I just feel weird. Like something is shifting, but I can’t tell if it’s good or bad. The maids are desperately trying to keep me entertained, but I always shoo them away. I’m not really in the mood to do anything right now. I have
