“Is he inside?” she asked Jessica after she requested her to go out to see if the coast is clear. The coast meaning the demon named Daemon. Jessica ruffled her hair and shook her head. “He’s not outside. I asked Mark. His friend already left the town.”Ava breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank god! I thought I’ll be dealing with that demon again.” She closed her locker and combed her hair to put it in a bun. “Gosh, I cannot take to see him after he ruined my day yesterday. I thought he’s stalking me again every time I see tall men in black jackets.”“Now dear, he’s gone so you can go back to your work peacefully.”“I know, I know and may he never come back.”She suited herself and started serving while humming. It feels so good moving, doing your thing without a man creepily staring at you from a distance. Lunch came which is considered the rush hour of the day. A group of men barged in and occupied the three tables, scattering the rest of the available seats on their way. She breathed

Ava stayed up all night contemplating what to do. She reckoned that Daemon is just that guy who is allergic to the word ‘no’. He is the type of guy on first blind dates that would like to have sex with you right away.“Not effin’ gonna happen,” she murmured and covered her face with the blanket to try to get some sleep. It’s been five hours already that she’s just on the bed, tossing and spinning around but she can’t get to make herself fall to that beloved goddess of sleep.“Am I afraid?” She shook her head. “No, definitely not. Those are just empty words. What is he? A president? He can’t decide on my life and my decisions! I’m going to sleep now!”Minutes later, she found herself in the kitchen drinking her coffee and winding up how miserable her life was. She’s an orphan, obviously no parents and no siblings with no known relatives. A lonely bitch is all she will ever be known for living in a cramped apartment inside one of the most dangerous districts in the state. He remembere

They arrived in a huge house inside a highly-secured exclusive subdivision in the heart of the district she just sees in magazines and social media. Daemon did not have to force her to go out of the car because she was already outside of the gigantic iron gate looking up at the intricately-designed house.She tugged at his arms and pointed at the house, her face revealing nothing but admiration. “Wow! Do you live here? What are you? A billionaire? Are you that loaded?”“I’m more than that.” He put his hands on his pockets and studied her face. There’s no hint that she remembered this place.“This is the last house we had before that attack happened. I stayed here for years while looking for you,” he explained. In fact, he kept the same arrangement of the furniture inside so by the time he finds her, it’ll be easier for her.“Sure, sure.” Eyeing the place, she smiled to herself. “So I’ll be living here from now on?”“You seemed excited. I thought you're not Devon Farrows?”She shrugg

“What did he mean I hid their baby?” Ava is pacing back and forth in the room. Her hand is on her temple massaging it because she felt like her head would be cracked open by the revelation. Apparently, he’s not joking when he told her he kills people as his means of living. That man is the head of the Druft family, the lethal mafia group that is feared by many cartels all over the state. No wonder Levi did not make a fuss with Daemon in the pub. He’s no match to his wealth and power. “So I am Devon, his wife. I betrayed Daemon by contacting my family, which is his rival who gunned him down. I escaped with our baby but I was involved in a car accident and now he’s looking for the baby but I don’t know where I hid her because I have no memories.” She stopped in confusion and stared at her reflection in the mirror. “But how was I able to hide the baby when I was part of the accident! Of course I’d be bleeding! I won’t be able to move! I could have lost my consciousness right there!” E

“He's sleeping. Don’t worry. He won’t die from consuming too much alcohol. His body already got used to it,” Henry told me when he saw me waiting outside Daemon’s room.“Drunkard,” she can’t help but complain. “At the rate he’s going, I’ll be widowed for a year. That would be a good thing, you know.”Henry just shrugged and walked past her. “Hey, wait. Henry, can I ask you something?”He stopped and waited for her to ask. “Did he really love Devon? I mean, did he love me?”She swore that she saw something crossed his eyes but he must be an expert in hiding his feelings because he quickly concealed it. “I don’t know. We have a different definition of that word, Devon. Only you can tell after you remember everything. Goodnight.”“What is wrong with the people here? Not one of them answered my question. I ask the maid about Devon but she refused to answer. I thought they want me to remember but why are they not cooperating?”Rolling her eyes in confusion, she silently went inside Daemon
