Semua Bab Captured by the Demon King: Bab 81 - Bab 90

"Be my partner." He repeated suddenly, once again. He asked me about three times yesterday. "I can't." I said, getting up. I tried to ignore the burning pain in my legs. "Why not?" He asked, also getting up. "I've gotta meet your ex first. See what gossip she has to say about you." I loudly stated whilst walking to his door in a towel. "Maybe she'll say that you're lousy between the sheets." I joked with a grin whilst walking to the door. I peeked through the door, and hopped out when I saw no servants. "Where are you going?" Adrian almost sounded panicked. He ran into the hallway. I looked over my shoulder. "Getting dressed. Or do you want me to come like this?" I said, pointing at the towel around me. He smiled. "I'll be there in ten." He stated with a genuine happy tone. I decided to wear black today. A long black dress with long sleeves, a plunging neckline that showed just enough skin, to be exact. The fabric was slightly wider around my feet. Ready for battle. The bracelet was

"Am I invited?" I asked him softly with a frown. "Well, all partners and slaves are invited. In which category do you fall now?" He asked me. Adrian walked towards me, his eyes on Micah. "I'm my own category, you should know that by now." I answered with a wink.Micah grinned at me. "You sure are interesting, Amorino." He said with a scanning gaze. "You speak Italian?" I asked in shock. A demon, speaking multiple human languages?"Gabrielle." Adrian said behind me. I turned around. "Yes, my King," I said whilst stepping towards him. I dipped my head to Micah and Samael. They both looked from me to Adrian. Adrian walked to the door, and I followed him without looking back. Eyes burned holes in my back.The door shut behind me with a heavy click and I was thrown into darkness again. "How old are you?" I hissed at the darkness. He grabbed my hand and pulled me forward. I ignored the comfortable, intense connection. "Age is just a number." He responded evasively. "And poison is just food.

"A plan?" Adrian asked him. I could practically smell the annoyed look on his face. "To keep her by your side." Ren answered. I swirled my head to the door. Were they talking about me? Did Adrian have another woman? "Go on." Adrian stated. His annoyed voice was gone. "If I am by your side, if I am crowned, you can keep her. She knows me, she will be comfortable with me." Ren voiced. What the fuck was going on? Ren crowned? Was Ren going to be King of Envy? That was impossible, right, he wasn't from envy? It was silent for a moment until Adrian started talking again. "You mean to tell me that you will be my-" "GABRIELLE!" Guela screeched my name and I whirled around in absolute horror. I stared at the red haired woman in shock, pure shock, with my mouth open, and then snapped my head at the door. Guela looked at me angrily and without thinking, I twirled around and ran away from her, in an unknown direction. I heard the door open but didn't look back to see who opened. Fuck fuck fu

He was still staring at me intensely, his eyes never even looked at Guela leaving. My body was on fire. He took three steps forward, and grabbed something that was against the bed. The whip. "Too bad that ass of yours is not up in the air," he said in thought whilst looking at the whip. He extended the whip, and the tip of it touched my left foot. The leather was surprisingly soft, a stark contrast to the hardness in his eyes. I swallowed and didn't answer at first. Adrenaline entered my veins. What did Guela say? Use my natural innocence? "Maybe it's a good thing my ass is not in the air. Because it's never been touched with a whip." I heard an intake of breath. Adrian walked to my side, the whip followed on my skin up. He walked around me, the whip's touch a big distraction. "Maybe we have to do something about that." Adrian stated above me. The whip left my skin, only to come down again, on the side of my hip. I jerked up and gasped and tried to bring my hands to my body, but

"What do your current partners think of this? You're putting a human above a lot of demons here." Micah reasoned. Adrian shrugged his shoulders. "I really don't care, to be honest." He said, not even one bit concerned. "What if they hate her for it, and hurt her?" Micah asked him with raised eyebrows. "They can easily kill her. Some poison in her food, a knife in her heart, a snap of her neck." Micah said next. I looked at Micah with wide eyes. I didn't doubt his words. This was another world, where murder and hate was more common than in the human realm. I think. "Do you think they dare to hurt her if she belongs to me?" Adrian asked him in a calm tone. I tightened his blazer around me. The room was dark and the two demons looked at each other calmly, their previous fight forgotten. "They might think they can get away with it. Do not forget what demons will do to stay in a high position, Adrian. They will risk everything if it means staying by the side of a king." Micah reasoned. A
