CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Rebecca laughed heartily as Ella and Whitney briefed her about their funny dating experiences the past few months.“Maybe I should give up on love.” Whitney’s voice was heard.“Guys, the right person will find you, you just have to…” Rebecca stopped when she heard a knock on the door. She pulled the duvet to her chest, covering her bralette. “Come in.” The door opened shortly and Axel walked in holding a plate of fruits.“You’re done already?” She was surprised. It hadn’t been up to two hours since he left to the control room.“Yes. It was a slight issue.” He replied, dropping the plate on the bedside table close to her reach. “What have you been doing?”“Talking to my friends. Wanna say hi?” She asked. He shook his head and she chuckled.“Can I call you guys later please?” She spoke to the phone.Ella and Whitney both agreed and then disconnected the call. She dropped her phone and carried the plate from the table, placing it next to her.“Sometimes I feel you can read my mind

“… Happy birthday to youuuuuu.” Rebecca clasped happily before swiping her finger on the cake and licking the sugar off her hand.“Thank you.” She giggled.“Take a bite.” Kira urged, moving the cake extremely close to Rebecca. Rebecca shook her head. “I’m scared, what if you try to poison me.” She teased. Kira rolled her eyes. “I don’t have a death wish.” She said and they both laughed. “What is Axel planning?” Rebecca asked curiously. It was the morning of her birthday and Axel was the first to wish her. He sent her a text through the phone, and she was anticipating to see him so he would give her a birthday kiss. Unfortunately, she hadn’t seen him since the beginning of the day, and she knew he was planning something.“I don’t know. Even if I know, do you think I’ll tell you?” Kira smirked.“You won’t.” Rebecca shrugged. “I’ll go see for myself…” She took the cake from Kira and placed it on the table. “Thanks.” She winked and walked out of the room. As soon as she got o

Her heart race increase rapidly as she stared curiously at Trent.“No. Of course not.” Trent replied quickly. She let out a deep breath.“Why would you think something happened to him?” Trent asked.“Because of your actions. It seemed you’re trying to cover for Axel by making me feel good.” She replied. Trent chuckled. “Axel is fine. He called me to bring you to the venue you’ll be having dinner.” Her brows lifted. “Why? Where’s he?” “Obviously a surprise for you… Less I forgot, happy birthday Rebecca.” “Thank you.” She managed to say, no smile on her face to back it up. “That wasn’t our plan. He would come home and we’ll go to the place together. I still don’t get why he still hasn’t come back home yet…” Without waiting for Trent to reply, she walked back into the room to pick her phone, and she dialed Axel’s number immediately. It was switched off, and her suspicions grew. She looked up at Trent who was already inside the room.“What on earth happened to Axel?!” She co

Rebecca felt the air leave her lungs. She couldn’t believe the sight before her. It was impossible. Alessandro adjusted his cufflinks as if he had just stepped into a business meeting rather than a battlefield.“I must say,” he spoke smoothly, his gaze settling on Rebecca, “I expected you to be more careful.”Rebecca’s heart slammed against her ribs.“You…” she whispered. “You are working with Eric?”Alessandro’s lips curved faintly, but he didn’t say a word. The devilish smile on his face said more than any words could.Eric laughed from behind, regaining his composure. “You didn’t think I was powerful enough to pull this off alone, did you?”Kira’s grip tightened on her gun. “So this is a partnership?” “A temporary alignment of interests.” Alessandro corrected. Kira took a step forward, her body fully shielding Rebecca. “You should give this up. The council now knows your real motive and there’s nothing you can do about it. Coming out here is very unwise of you.” Alessandro b

The morning was quiet, the kind of silence that pressed gently against the ears. The air smelled faintly of earth and damp leaves. Rebecca walked slowly, her hand brushing against the tall grass, Danny beside her, his own hands stuffed deep into his pockets.The cemetery was small, tucked away from the city’s chaos. Their father’s grave was easy to find, an elegant headstone, polished but solemn, with their father’s name engraved in bold letters.Rebecca stopped in front of it, the sunlight catching her tears. She knelt slowly, her hands resting on the cool stone. “I… I miss you.” She whispered. Her voice shook. “I wish you were here to see everything… and not just the fighting, the pain. I wish you saw me, really saw me.”“I hope now that Justice had been gotten, you’ll rest well. I just want you to know that I miss you and mum deeply. And I wish we got to spend more time together.”Danny stood quietly behind her, jaw tight. He bent down, placing a hand on the stone beside hers.
