MasukMia Nova is sold to the devil to clear her fathers debt. Luca Barone, known in whispered fear as Diavolo, doesn’t just collect money, he also collects souls. Luca expects to meet a broken Mia who will plead for her life with tears and vivid fear. Instead he meets a petty thief who fears nothing. She smiles when he threatens to sell her to men, and makes jokes about her breast size not being enough for these men. In Luca’s world, the biggest currency is fear, but it seems Mia is bankrupt. When she steps into Pandemonium, his secret lair where powerful men are undone, she becomes the queen of the night, raking in five hundred million dollars in her first night. They make a second deal. The freedom of her soul costs six billion dollars in the six months of her gracing the golden chair every night. A kiss seals the deal. That same kiss changes everything between them. He becomes possessive, and she wants to surrender to him, but the ghost of the woman who graced the chair before her, returns with a fire that is set to burn everything down. Mia must decide between running from the Devil who owns her, or staying with the man who no longer wants to.

Do you think you can get away with crossing him, Rhys?” Olivia attacked Rhys verbally the second he walked in through the door, into the mansion.“You're still here,” he said dryly, walking past her.“Are you fucking joking? This is my father's house. Of course I'm still here!”“Well it won't be your fathers anything anymore soon, seeing the way you're moving.”“And what does that mean?” She followed him, with some hostility in her words, and movement. Rhys arrived at the door to his room, and then turned to face her.“Do you realize your father is dead?”“Yes I do.”“I don't think so. You're so wrapped up in your obsession to be chosen by Luca, you fail to understand he's the man who killed your father. Your own father. I am the only one trying to give the old man some justice. Yet, you're fighting me? You're pathetic.” He shook his head, and turned away from her to open the door.Olivia went after him into the room, like
Doctor Hosea, led by Luca, arrived at Mia's room.Mia was on standby to open the door, and let them in.“She's sleeping, but I can wake her up if that's okay,” she said, as they stepped in.“That’s fine. You don't have to wake her up. My rheumatologist colleague is on his way. He'll be the one to check up on her. I'd like to ask you a couple of questions before he arrives, if that's okay with you.”“Yeah sure. Please sit.” She pointed to the chair in her dressing table.“Thank you.”Mia sat on the bed, whilst Luca remained standing.“Should I excuse you?” He asked, not wanting to intrude.“No, it's fine. You can stay,” she said, then turned her attention back to the doctor.“I want you to answer as accurately as you can. This is solely about you. Just a heads-up.”“Me?” Her brows knitted. “I'm fine.”“Yes, but you're going to be her primary caretaker right?”“Yes doctor.”“Then, I'll have to know how ready you are mentally. To know that, I need to know how her disease has affected you
Peach and Mia left Ava in the room watching some flicks on the MacBook, whilst they made their way to the kitchen.“What is the autoimmune disease your sister has?” Peach asked Mia, in the middle of their discussion.“Lupus, why?”“Wow, she's strong for battling it for so long.”“Yeah I know. We never had a lot of money either, so it was hell. I'm just grateful that she hasn't had an organ failing just yet. I was thinking now that I'm at a place where I can make money, I'll find a way to get her a good doctor.”“You're a really great sister,” Peach praised her, and she smiled in appreciation.They took the turn which led to the path of the kitchen, just as Luca and Niko were coming from the opposite direction.All four stumbled on themselves, and stopped walking abruptly.“Hey,” Luca turned to Mia who he was initially headed for. “Did you sleep well?”She nudged her head to a corner, and walked towards it.Luca excused himself, and followed her. She attacked him with a hug the moment
MIAI turned to my side in the morning, and smiled when I saw Ava sleeping peacefully.Suddenly, I was six again, and we were in my aunt's bed.The smell of pancakes, and waffles filled the air, and aunt's laughter from the kitchen was the extra spice.Colin Nova's heavy boot trodding through the front doors as he arrived from his night shift.“Where are my gorgeous girls?” He would scream at the top of his voice.Ava and I would hide under the blankets, when we hear the sound of his boots drawing closer.He became the boogeyman, trying to scare us, whilst we screamed at the top of our voices.Then he would grab both of us at once, and give us the biggest hug.A single tear rolled down my eyes, as what was only a distant memory now, resurfaced in my head.Ava's eyes opened as I was sniffing the teardrop away, and she looked at me.“You're still crying, Mine?” Her frail finger reached out to stroke my forehead.She called me Mine sometimes, because it was the meaning of my name. I alwa
“Are you okay, Mia?” Peach asked, leading Mia to the restroom.She didn't respond. She was too out of it to form a response.“What happened back there? You were talking to yourself quite loudly. Who were you asking to leave you alone?”They made it into the restroom and Mia went straight into a sta
MIAMy eyes flickered open, as I awoke from the beautiful sweet dream I had.This was the best sleep I've had since I was brought to this so-called castle.If I had more sleep like this, I would never complain.I covered my mouth with my hand as a yawn escaped.When I pulled my hand away, I was smi
Mia opened the door only to find Ms Bird cager right in front of her.She eyed her from her hand down to her toes.“What are you doing here?” She asked roughly and with disgust.Mia, defeated, opened the door widely and stepped aside.Ms Bird cager walked in but froze in her spot when she saw the b
MIA“I love this shirt!” I chirped happily as I walked out of the bathroom.But instead of finding the devil alone, just the same way I left him, I saw another man in the room.He turned, and behold, it was boss number two.His eyes widened slightly, he looked at the devil, and then looked back at
