(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 42 Erase

    (Bright’s POV) I slide down the wall with a shaky breath as I watch Cole beat the life out of him. He punched him continuously on the face, his blood covering his fist. I started to panic when I saw the man close his eyes. He’s losing consciousness! "Don’t—" *punch* "—fucking—" *punch* "—touch him!" *punch* The man groaned. His face is so bloody, I could barely recognize him. He looked so destroyed, but Cole isn’t done. He’s going to kill him if he doesn't stop! I forced myself to move, grabbing Cole’s arm before he could strike again. "Stop!” He yanked my hands, but I didn't let go. I don't want him to regret what he’s doing right now. This man is still powerful. Who knows what might happen if this man got injured really badly. “I SAID STOP!” I screamed on the top of my lungs. Finally, he stopped. He released the man’s collar, and I watched as he dropped on the cold floor unconscious.

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 41 Not Again!

    (Bright’s POV) When Cole said "business," I was expecting something like dark shits, maybe guns or drugs. I was all in, you know? I was ready to accept whatever shit he’s doing just to put gold bars on the table. But this? Really? Music is pounding through the walls like bombs, and I feel it shaking the floor beneath my feet. Lights are flashing in shades of rainbow, cutting through the smoky haze that I have no idea where it’s coming from. I’m thinking that maybe it’s cigarette smoke, but strawberry scented. All I know is that It’s making my head spin like a merry-go-round. People are everywhere in the room. They’re dancing, grinding, drinking, and losing themselves in the music like wild animals. This is far from the “mafia business” I expected. This is just a club. Well… a very liberated club. Cole led me through the sea of dancing people. I could feel a few of them brushing against me, but Cole was q

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 40 Mafia Business

    (Bright’s POV) I stared at Cole weirdly like he just grew another head. I’m completely thrown off from what he said. He’s also staring at me without breaking eye contact, which makes it ten times harder than it already is. We were having an eye contact contest, and nobody wants to lose against each other. Did he just ask me to sing for him? *Duuugg!* *Duuuugg!* *Duuuugg!* I held my chest. My heart is beating way too fast than average. This isn’t normal. It’s just a song. Why am I acting like he’s proposing to me with a ring? This heartbeat got me feeling like I am about to have a cardiac arrest. Calm down, Bright. It’s just Cole being weird again. “What the—” Before I could say anything, he took the mic from my hand. He put it close to his mouth, like he’s preparing to sing. I blinked. "What are you—?" He didn’t answer. Instead, he scrolled through the song list, ignoring me

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 39 Sing For Me

    (Jade’s POV) [Three Hours Ago] The weight of the gun is solid in Isaac’s hands as I adjusted his grip. I could feel my fingers lightly brushing against his—something I was looking forward to. That's why I agreed to help him train. “No, like this,” I murmured, stepping closer as I guided his fingers into the right position. He looked at it confusedly. I’ve been trying to fix his grip on the gun, but he doesn’t really get it at all. “You need to keep your wrist firm, or the recoil is gonna mess up your aim.” Isaac nodded his head innocently. He didn’t say anything, and just followed my lead. His eyes are fixed on the target. I swallowed hard. We’re close. Too close. Isaac and I have known each other for a very long time. He became my comfort in this place. I still remember the first time I went here. I was very scared, but then he helped me adjust to this place. We have never separated since then. As the years pass,

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 38 Threatening Me?

    (Bright’s POV) I sank deeper into the bath’s warm water, letting my head rest against the edge of the jacuzzi. “This is what I mean when I say I want to relax…” I whispered, smiling. I opened my eyes, looking at the soft glow of the bathroom lights flickering against the rippling water. This entire day has been insane. I mean, how the hell did I suddenly become Cole’s fiancée? Does that make me his bride or something? That sounds so ridiculous. I passed out from gunfire and bomb explosion, woke up to find out that Cole is some kind of Mafia heir, and became his fiancée overnight. How could all of that happen in just one night? I know I shouldn't be really thinking that this is some type of dream again, but can you blame me? Everything that has been happening to me for the past few hours has been dreadful. I don't even know how to explain in words how much I’m fucking done right now. I huffed, reaching for the glass of expensive alcohol si

  • Deal With The Devil   Chapter 37 Search Him Up

    (Bryan’s POV) I watched as Cole stormed out of the dining room, dragging the little twink behind him. He’s even struggling to keep up to his pace because of their height difference. What a scum. I leaned back in my chair, smirking. That was unexpected. The way the kid looked, all wide eyes and delicate features, if it weren’t for the suit, I’d swear he was a girl. Interesting. That doesn't change the fact that Cole doesn't know how to treat him better, though. He’s dragging him like he doesn't care even if he trips on the way. Does he actually see him as someone he’d marry? Or is this one of his stupid tactics again? I don't know about him, but that's helping me. I like the fact that my problem is dealing with himself. I do not have to do anything to destroy his image of my father because he’s already doing it to himself. I should be thanking him for doing that. He got me worried for a second when Father told me that he invited Cole to dinner. I thought he was going to marry
