“Daemon! What do you think you’re doing?! Don’t come closer! I said don’t come any closer!” Maddy was horrified when Daemon did not budge on his stance.He snatched her wrist and slit a quick wound on it with his knife that made Maddy shriek in sudden pain. “I thought you wanted me to always be by your side? I thought you wanted to feel me against your skin? Why are you complaining now, Maddy? This is what you wanted, right?” he said grinning.There were only a few times when he let his fangs out and this is one of those. He promised himself that whoever hurt Devon would suffer tremendously even her own family after they find Emily. “Not like this! You are trying to murder me!” She tried to get out of his steely grip but couldn’t. “Not if you answer every single question I have right now for you.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about! Get off me! Let me go, Daemon.”But her actions were in vain. He still held her prisoner under his death glare. Annoyed, he put the knife on her n

“Sir Daemon, Ms. Maddy is outside asking for you. She said she needs to tell you something important.”Daemon threw his aide an eye when he came rushing into his office informing him about Maddy. He already blacklisted her from all of his properties but it seemed like she always finds a way to go to him. “Don’t let her in. I told you already she’s banned from any of my properties. Send a notice to the security again,” he answered without raising his head.He has a ton of paperwork to do and several meetings to attend to later so he cannot waste any of his time on Maddy. If it isn’t about Emily, then he would not bother to talk to her again.She and the senator are facing great public backlash that’s why she’s been crawling her way back to him to beg him to take down the video but none of that is happening. “But sir…”“Don’t make me repeat my words.”His aide apologized and went back to his job. For the next few hours, he drowned himself with all the work so that he could have all th

Devon seemed detached to reality with only her mind on how to get Emily back into her arms. Experience dictated Daemon that he can never do something that would convince a desperate person like Devon. She’s closed-minded now and she would only focus her energy into getting what she wanted right from the very start. Even now, as she stares at him fearlessly and with a hint of disgust, he can tell that there’s no changing of her mind anymore but he has to at least try. He will try for her own sake. “I will not hear any more of this, Daemon. If you don’t approve of this, then I will not force you to agree. I’ll leave this house with Lucy with me.”She pulled him outside to prevent Lucy from waking up and continued their conversation in the other room. “Decide now, Daemon. What would it be?” She raised her brows when he couldn't produce an answer. “I guess that’s your answer after all. Goodbye.” He caught her wrist when she turned her back on him. “No, no, Devon please. Hear me out p

The way she phrased it is not really requesting him but somewhat that of a person who has long thought about it and is just informing him of her decision. Daemon was caught off guard but quickly recovered from the shock. Getting up, he gently pulled Devon out of the room so they could talk freely. “Devon, you know we can’t do that. She is not Emily. Lucy has her own parents who also long for her return. She is not our child. She is not ours to keep,” he spoke to her in the softest voice he can afford. If repeating the same thing he tells her every day since she kidnapped Lucy over and over again to inculcate it in her head, then he doesn't mind at all as long as it will make things right. He’s carefully balancing between doing what’s right and logical and not upsetting her though he reckoned that she will still be hurt in the process but he wants it to happen gradually. Exhaling, she put her hand on her chest and opened her mouth to convince him this time. “I know that. It’s just

“Devon, child. You are not in the position to ask anything from me.”She just laughed emptily and took out the gun from her pocket and shot it directly to the window of her father’s home office. The glasses shattered and the security system of their house was alerted. She heard the alarm in the voices of the men inside and some went outside to check. They instantly put down their firearms when she saw her with bombs strapped all over her body. “Now that I shattered your window, do I now have the position to ask you a favor?” she said coldly and moved her head and the men ran back inside to check on their boss. “You bitch!” Gestoni yelled and looked down on her from the broken window. He paused to take a good look at her and when he saw that she has all kinds of bombs on her body, her tone died down and there’s a noticeable crack “W-What?! What are you doing outside?! What the fuck are you doing?!”She smirked when she caught his attention. “I finally got your attention, dad. Now
