THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER NINE
GENEVIEVEThe moment Caleb left his room, I looked at the bouquet in my hands. It was cheap nonsense.They weren't ugly, exactly, but they certainly weren't what I expected from someone who was supposed to be my fiancé.I rolled my eyes and threw them into the trash. Caleb had always been too sentimental for his own good. But I had never tolerated Caleb because I was madly in love with him.He had his uses. He was always fucking good in bed. His family had money, so he wasn't dead weight. Not to mention, he was really good-looking.That was why I'd tolerated Caleb and his insufferable mother for this long.I left the room and walked into the lounge, where Bianca was still sitting comfortably on the sofa.I took a sit, and she moved closer to me. She told me that Evelina was the one who had inflicted the injury on Caleb.Evelina had always thought she could get away with anything simply because Caleb cared about her. She was about to learn otherwise.I left the Ryders' mansion and retu
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER EIGHT
Caleb's POVPain shot through my head as I slowly regained consciousness. For a few seconds, I couldn't remember where I was. Then everything came rushing back in fragments.I remembered the argument with Evelina. Her rejection. Then she hit me with something. I touched the side of my head and winced.She had really hit me. I pushed myself up from the floor and looked around the room. The house was silent. Evelina was gone.My mind felt hazy, and my thoughts were scattered. I didn't want to stay there any longer, so I staggered outside, climbed onto my motorcycle, and drove straight home.The Ryder mansion was still awake when I arrived. I barely made it through the entrance before Dad saw me."Caleb?"I stopped. His eyes immediately went to my head."What happened to you?"I instinctively touched the injury. "I got into an accident."Dad's expression changed. "An accident? Are you all right? You should see a doctor.""It's nothing serious."He stepped closer, examining me with concer
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER SEVEN
Evelina's POVThe moment I stepped out of Nightfall Estate, I released a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding. What the hell had just happened in there?I climbed onto Dad's motorcycle and stared at the mansion behind me. There was something wrong with that place.Everything about it felt strange—the people, the enormous estate, the guard who looked like he could crush me with one hand, and especially the man who owned it.Adrian Nightmere.I still couldn't understand how he knew my name. And why did he look at me like that?I shook my head. I didn't have time to figure out mysterious rich men and their creepy mansions.I rode straight to the hospital. The first thing I did was make the payment for mum's dialysis.For the first time in days, I could breathe. At least this week's treatment was covered. But instead of feeling completely relieved, my mind kept returning to the same question.Was taking that job the right decision?The money was exactly what I needed. More than I cou
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER SIX
Adrian's POV“Um… I didn't mean it that way. I… I just want to apply,” she stuttered.For a woman who had spent the last several minutes arguing with Mojito, a guard at least twice her size, she suddenly seemed unsure of herself.“Are you certain you want to apply, Eve?" I could barely hold back my smile.The moment the words left my mouth, I noticed the faint change in her expression. Her cheeks flushed, and she looked away for half a second before forcing herself to meet my eyes again.“Of course… but how do you know my name?"She was an intriguing woman. If only she knew what I already knew about her.“I know a lot of things, Eve. Especially when someone intends to work for me." I maintained eye contact with her.“I must say, that's weird. But since you're Mr. Know-It-All, you must know I really need the money from this job." She narrowed her eyes.“Well, my name is Adrian Nightmere. Welcome to Nightfall Estate." I smirked. “Walk with me, please."She glanced behind her at my guard
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER FIVE
Evelina's POVI stared at the photo on my phone. Then, at the hospital payment reminder.After a few more minutes of staring at the screen like it might magically solve my problems, I shoved my phone into my pocket and stood up. My mind was made up.The first thing I did was make sure Caleb had absolutely no idea what I was planning.That man was already dramatic enough. Before heading there, I stopped by the hospital.The familiar smell of disinfectant greeted me the moment I stepped into mother's room. My mother looked up from her book and smiled."There she is. How're you doing, my Tiger?"I smiled back. "Still alive, Mum.""That's reassuring."I sat beside her bed.For a few minutes, we talked about everything and nothing. The weather. Hospital food. A ridiculous television show she had become obsessed with. It felt almost normal, then her eyes narrowed."What?" I frowned."You look exhausted.""I'm fine, Mum.""Evelina, you have bags under your eyes.""Ughh… I've just been busy."
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER FOUR
Evelina's POVI should just go home. That was the first thought running through my head as I stared at the delivery request on my phone.The second thought was that hospital bills didn't magically pay themselves. The payment attached to the order was ridiculous. The destination wasn't much better.Nightfall Estate.Just seeing the name made something uncomfortable twist in my stomach.Nightfall Estate wasn't the kind of place people casually visited. It was where the city's wealthiest residents lived. The untouchables. The people who could buy the entire city, if they wanted to.Most delivery drivers if not all avoided it. The stories alone were reason enough. Strange residents. Disappearing staff. Security guards that looked like they ate concrete for breakfast. Nobody knew how much of it was true.Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to care. I accepted the order.Immediately, my phone buzzed. It was Caleb.Caleb: I'm sorry about the drama with my mum and Genevieve.Me: Thanks for apolo
