JERAH

I had seen my look-alike again. My sister. I had been in my room, playing with the only toy I had when she came in and insisted I go out with her. I didn't want to, but as usual, she always had a way of forcing me.

I followed her out of the house, and for a long time, we walked?

"Where are we going, Mina? My legs hurt," I began to gripe.

"Just shut up and walk, Isobel. This is the reason father sees you as too weak," she taunted.

My eyes were almost rimmed with tears. I hated everytime they called me weak. Unfortunately, I didn't have the balls to prove them wrong.

She finally stopped walking when we got to a cliff. It didn't sit well with me that we were in front of a cliff.

"Why are we here?" I asked worriedly, looking around.

The area was too quiet, too bushy. And below the cliff was a big body of water. It was definitely not a good place to be.

"Why is Silas always showing more attention to you than me?" My sister asked.

I returned my gaze to he

  • The Mafia Demon: Her Body, His Possession    Home

    VOID.I caught her in my arms, staring at her face as she dozed off. There wwas a twinge in my chest, one I definitely didn't like.Taking her into my arms, I took her upstairs to her room and gently laid her on the bed.What was it I felt for this lady that made me feel so guilty? What was it I felt for her that wanted me to do as she said?I waved it off. To feel was weakness. I didn't come this far by letting feelings get to me. Serpente needed to be dead. And it was only unfortunate that he was her father.I brushed my fingers through her front hair as I watched her sleep. She had been through a lot. The last thing she needed was being alone. Well, life was really unfair to her, wasn't it?I'd been a little struck when she'd told me the story of her and her bitchy sister. To think she'd have been that bitch...But how could someone so sweet have had a dark past? It was ironic, wasn't it? Being little, she has been a demon. But now, she couldn't eve

  • The Mafia Demon: Her Body, His Possession    His Target

    JERAHI didn't realize when we got home. From the moment Void had met me in the room and helped me into his car, all I could recall doing was shedding tears.I didn't even try to stop. For the first time, I was gripped by a new, unfamiliar pain. It was unlike any I had known.Bit by bit, my memories began to return. They weren't vivid yet, but Mina's words morphed into images and made it a little easy to recover some of the memories.Although, I wished I didn't have to remember them. But they just came freely.I had been truly evil. I recalled those times I'd hurt my father's servants for the slightest offense. I recalled when how happy I was to hurt someone, and how uncomfortable I was when the atmosphere was too peaceful. There was a day I had chopped off a woman's finger for burning my meal. While she wailed, father had applauded me. And I had been so happy.I was too young to have a heart as dark as that. If I hadn't fallen off the cliff and lost my mem

  • The Mafia Demon: Her Body, His Possession    The Bully And The Victim

    JERAHDo you know that feeling when it feels like the entire world was fake? That feeling when you look around and all you could see was a big empty desert with not a single soul in sight. You feel lost. Abandoned. Scared. Confused.That was exactly how I felt the moment she uttered my name.For a long time, I stared blankly at her, trying so hard to comprehend her last statement. Why would she call her own name when talking to me?My heart raced. My mind rejected the hint it had coming.She scoffed as a tear finally slipped her eye."What? Why do you look so surprised, sister? Don't tell me you didn't miss your name. Sorry I had to lend it for fifteen years."Shivers ran through me. I shook my head and took some steps back."Wh... What're you talking about? I'm not Mina, I'm...""Isobel?" She huffed. "You're so pathetic, aren't you? All because you're this... fake nun, you had a dream and picked out the victim to be you? Why? You feel you're incapable

  • The Mafia Demon: Her Body, His Possession    Wilhelmina...

    JERAHWe became at alert instantly. I looked at Void, like he could give me immediate answers on who was outside the gate. How could he even tell?He went closer and peeped through the gate. With the speed he'd turned back at Karney and I, I knew there was no goodnews. He took my arm and guided me towards Karney."Quick. Take her out through the back exit." He uttered, his voice gravelly.I was bewildered. "Wh...What's going on?""We've got company. And I don't want you here while they are " He ran towards the house and returned shortly with a gun, some tools and my phone. He gave my phone to me."What the hell are you waiting for? Get her out of here!" He yelled at Karney.Karney grabbed my hand and tried running off with me. I pulled my hand away."But what about you? Why don't we just run off together?" I asked worriedly.He looked at me and smirked. "I never run away from my battles, J; not when they brought it to my home. And trust me, I'm the last perso

  • The Mafia Demon: Her Body, His Possession    They Know...

    His name was Tyler.For a couple of years, he had been working for Don Serpente and definitely knew about his daughter. He knew how ruthless she was and that the last thing she'd do was side with her father's enemies.However, he was heavily confused for the first time. Don. Serpente had assigned him and a few others to be on the lookout for Void. He had gotten info that Void was seen leaving Don. Lucio's apartment. He had a feeling their meeting had something to do with him and wanted to hear from the horse's mouth. Also, he had heard about how very dangerous Void was and wanted to give it a try himself. He hated when there was someone above his reach.So, Tyler was on the lookout, and luckily, he was able to spot Void going into the mall. But what he didn't expect was seeing Wilhemina with Void.He returned to Don. Serpente's abode as quickly as he could to relay the information. Serpente was taking a smoke in the living room and having his feet massaged by a half-naked woman when h

  • The Mafia Demon: Her Body, His Possession    The Man At The Mall

    JERAHI slept for a long time after my morning session with Void. I had no idea the sins of the flesh could feel so good - although, I still wasn't proud of it.I'd woken up to find Void on the bed, just sitting on the edge with his head in his palms. He seemed like one in deep thoughts."Are... Are you okay?" I gently asked as I rose up to sit next to him."Yeah," he mumbled.Of course, that was a lie.All of a sudden, I became bothered. I was yet to define what my relationship was with him. Although, there have been little signs of it, he'd never declared he liked me or even cared enough for me. What if he was treating me like he did to every other lady? What if I was nothing but a toy to him? Did he really look like a man that could pay respects to me?"Did Mina say when our father will be coming?" I stood up and asked, going to the table to pour myself a glass of juice."No. But I confirmed from someone that he might've arrived yesterday."I lo
