Standing in the room, I was trying my hardest to catch my breath. My heart was erratic and my nerves were all over the place.

I was breathing so loudly because of how I had just ran to come here. And there she was; there was my mom…fine.

She was completely fine. “Oh, Jules,” She said when she saw me. She smiled, but her eyes were filled with a strange emotion.

Nic was in the room, she locked eyes with me for a second, gesturing me to follow her before walking out of the room and closing the door.

We were in the hallway, but before she could begin, Chase appeared from around the corner and rushed in our direction. “You know him?” She seemed alarmed.

I nodded as we watched the man close the distance.

“Jules,” he breathed out. He was breathing deeply. “Is she…” He bent over, holding his knees only for a few seconds. “Is your mom okay?”

Security guards soon appeared and they rushed over to us, but Nic stopped them. “It’s fine, guys. He’s with us.”

“Are you sure?” One of them asked, eyein

  • I Fell For The Devil   Chapter 31. The Other Family

    Night came pretty fast, or maybe not and I had just been consumed by the events of the day. It had truly been an eventful day.I was in bed, Chase and I had not really talked about us sleeping in the same room yet. But I knew that we would have that conversation soon. As much as I wanted that, for our relationship to grow and evolve, I knew that its death was inevitable.There was no way that I was going to put my mom in danger because of a relationship; because of a man, no matter how much I loved him.I turned to the other side, staring out the window while lying on the bed. The moon was up, not full like the last time, but it was still emitting some glow that shone through the satin curtains of the bedroom. I pulled the duvet up a bit, a pillow right next to me. I was already prepared to sing the song that my dad used to sing to me. But this time was different, when I started, tears started to fill my eyes and I found myself sobbing.I missed him, gosh, I missed him so much.I jus

  • I Fell For The Devil   Chapter 30. Choices

    The car ride back was weird, I felt like I couldn’t relax or focus. If anything, I would have parked, but I knew that this was how I was going to be for the rest of the day so I continued driving.I had placed the burner phone on the seat next to me and my eyes were glued to the road. My body felt like cement, my eyes were burning with tears that were dying to be released.I came at a red light and pressed the brake, slowing down until I came to a stop. Then I breathed out a sigh, still trying to decide what I was going to do.I blinked and a few tears slid down my face, I wiped them away as fast as they fell. I sniffled and squeezed the steering wheel as a way to ground myself.My mom…in all of this, she was mostly the only person I was worried about. I didn’t care much about myself as I cared about her safety. I didn’t want her in danger because I wanted love. That would be…that would be selfish of me. So was I really willing to cut him off? Was I really willing to cut Chase off? T

  • I Fell For The Devil   Chapter 29. The Burner Phone

    The burner phone felt cold to the touch as I held it in my hands. It looked brand new and it was from a brand that I didn’t know.I pressed one of the buttons and the small screen came to life. Then I navigated to the contact list and just like the writing on the wall had said, there was only a single saved contact. It was saved as three dots. I pressed the button and called the number, my breath hitching when someone answered. I waited for the person to speak, but no one did.“Hello?” My voice was shaky. “Jules Beaumont,” the person spoke, chuckling deeply. It was a man. His voice was far from familiar, and his tone was rich. It sounded like every other man’s voice. There was nothing unique about it. “Finally, I get to talk to you.” “Who are you?” I mustered the courage to ask. “I’m the one who’s going to save you before it’s too late.”I furrowed my brows in confusion and walked closer to the wall, leaning on it before replying, “I don’t…I don’t understand. I don’t need saving.

  • I Fell For The Devil   Chapter 28. Mr. Mystery Man

    I knew that I needed to eat, so I peeled my eyes away from the phone and grabbed my spoon, continuing to eat the cereal. When I was done, I took the bowl to the sink and washed it. After doing that, I wiped my hands dry and headed back to the kitchen island, grabbing my phone.I played the conversation with the mysterious man in my head for a few seconds, and then I sighed. As much as I wanted to start saving so I could be more independent and stop relying on Chase, I also knew that I needed to be careful.I had a feeling that accepting that man’s offer to me to clean his house would be almost the same as going to work for Lucia again. I walked over to the living room and sat down on the couch. I did need to work still so I unlocked my phone and went through my contact list, selecting the contacts of people I used to clean for, sending them messages of me asking if they needed my services today.Most of them replied in no time, letting me know that they in fact didn’t need cleaning

  • I Fell For The Devil   Chapter 27. SLEEP

    Two hours. It had been two hours and I was still lying in bed, sleep far away from me. At this point, it felt like torture.I could feel the tiredness in my bones, muscles, and veins. My body was crying for help, begging for the rest, but my brain didn’t care much.I turned on my other side, pulling the duvet a bit higher before looking towards the window. There were satin curtains so I could see the full moon from where I was. I sniffled dryly, Lucia’s voice still echoing in my head. I feared that the woman would not take no for an answer, and the fact that her son was a murderous psychopath didn’t do much to ease that fear. I closed my eyes, begging God to help me to sleep. It was so annoying trying to fall asleep and you just couldn’t. I thought about going to wake Chase and ask him for something to help me sleep, but I didn’t want to do that.He had already told me he had to be somewhere early tomorrow morning, he needed the rest. After a few minutes, I ended up opening my eye

  • I Fell For The Devil   Chapter 26. The Aftermath

    The vomiting had stopped, I was feeling much better, more like a human now. All thanks to God and Chase. I honestly thought I would have died. But maybe I was just overreacting or being dramatic. Regardless, I was glad that it was over now. “Would you like some tea? Or just water?” Chase asked as he sat on the bed next to me. He had been more than a sweetheart. He had helped me shower, change into some fresh clothes, and threatened to get angry at me if I said sorry about his car again.He said that he didn’t mind and that it would be cleaned before the morning. And he also didn’t fail to mention that he had a few other cars as well.“Water will do,” I said, adjusting myself on the bed before pulling the duvet a bit higher over my body. “Warm, please.”He smiled while standing on his feet. “Coming right up.” He winked before walking out of the room, leaving me alone. He had changed out of his business suit and was now shirtless along with his boxers.It was a hot look, but right now
