Chase brought the car to a stop at a place that looked like a ghost town. It was a diner, I think.

But there was almost no one there. I could see inside from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. I looked away and then at him. “Why are we here?”

He smiled, his eyes softening in a way that I had never seen before. “This is our first stop, then we will go over to our true destination.” He wiggled his brows playfully.

“Oh,” I replied, not really thinking too deeply into it. He had already cleared my mom’s bills and I had somewhere to stay, so there wasn’t much on my plate.

I mean, I still needed to be able to move out soon, I did not want to take advantage of his kindness or anything like that.

“Yep.” He popped the p in the word as he killed the engine, removing his seatbelt. He opened his side of the car and then stepped out before closing the door.

I was next, I opened my side of the car after removing my seatbelt, then I got out and closed the door, following him into the diner.

  • 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

  • I Fell For The Devil   Chapter 25. Someone Like Me?

    I downed the brown liquid, my throat burning as it went down. I made a face and sighed after I had swallowed it. This was my fifth shot.And believe me when I say I’m a light drinker. I was already drunk, my eyes were dizzy, my vision getting blurry every few minutes, and my mouth was starting to water a bit.And we all know what was next after the mouth watering: puking your guts out.“Come on, one more!” Lisa cheered, handing me another shot. I should have said no, I should have told her that I was already drunk and couldn’t take anymore. But…I didn’t. I think it was because I wanted to impress her, to keep her happy. “No, she’s fine,” Chase said, stepping in. He sat next to me and I laid my head on his lap. It felt good to do that. “Can’t you see she’s clearly wasted?” He asked, annoyance in his tone. At this point, my eyes were closed and I found peace in the darkness. I wanted to speak but I could barely do so. I felt so useless. But at least I was safe, I had my boyfriend he

  • I Fell For The Devil   Chapter 24. YOLO

    I downed the rest of my drink in a single go, Chase looking at me in surprise that I could do that. I mean, to be honest, it wasn’t easy to do that, but I needed it.I needed the alcohol in my system to be able to deal with Lisa and her famous boyfriend. The burning liquid slid down my throat and I hated the feeling, but I knew it was worth it if I had to deal with the people coming my way. I knew I wasn’t going to regret the decision.I was done with my drink just as they arrived, I placed the glass down on the bar as I turned to them with a forced smile. “Lisa!” My chirpy voice was fake, but I tried my best for it to appear natural. “Surprising to see you here!” I stood on my feet and hugged her. Gosh, I needed that alcohol to start kicking in already. What was taking so long?Lisa hugged me back, then after a few seconds she let me go. She flipped her lustrous hair and smiled as she ran her eyes over me.There was some distaste in her eyes, and I knew she was absolutely judging m
