Near death

DAMON"That's a bit cold." He said with a jest in his voice."What do you want devil?" I questioned not having the energy to deal with him right now."You." He answered while I snickered."I'm not yours to own, you torment me daily already, make do with it." "Don't you want your wife back?"Hearing that question I hesitated a bit, but still, it would be mad to sell myself to the devil twice.A chilling laughter erupted through the darkness."It seems you've learnt your lesson.""What do you want?" I snapped, the image of Elisa crying blood not leaving my mind."Stop looking for that shaman." He demanded.I turned to where his voice came from, only to see a thick black fog at that spot."And if I say no?" "I would bring your death faster than you imagine." Hearing his reply I smirked."If there's one thing I have learnt over the years of my research, the devil can't break an already made contract."Him coming to meet me only meant one thing, that shaman could probably figure this ou

New CEO

ELISAI stared at the mirror, my face breaking into a small smile as I stared at my barely noticeable bulge.My morning sickness had stopped, well- majorly, but I was now able to eat peacefully.My baby was now 2 months and a few weeks old."We are going to see your dad today." I paused staring at my reflection with resolve."And today would determine if he would still hold that title." I added rubbing my belly gently.I can't wait to meet the little one soon, "if so mummy would protect you, just focus on growing up well, okay?" I cooed, giggling softly.I wondered if he or she could hear me.A knock interrupted my conversation with my child."Who is it?" I asked softly still staring into the mirror.Most people would stare this long in wonder if they had added weight but I was just not used to this look yet.Even though it's been months it felt a bit surreal that I conceived despite the doctors ruling it off as impossible.Guess the impossible becomes possible if you're with the righ

Dave

DAMONI watched the banquet festivities from a dark corner where no one could spot me.I wanted to stay away from everyone's eyes so it would be easy for me to slip out later on.I stared at my brother, Johnson interacting with guests while my parents happily showed him off.I heard a crack sound drawing my gaze to the glass cup in my hand, sighing I gestured for a waiter.I thought I no longer cared.I thought I was numb.The truth has always been clear, I would never be their first choice despite being their biological son.Funny isn't it? They hated me so much they got a replacement.I wish they could have just hated me, I had gotten used to it, but they had to get tangled with what made me happy.I wondered how Eli was doing?I miss her smiles and laughter so much.The thought of her left a fluttering feeling in my chest, there's no denial she was the sole reason for my joy."Dad." Dave tugged on my trousers looking up at me with those beady eyes of his.Would the child Eli was be

Music recommended: Me and You by Eric Chou -------------------ELISAI opened my eyes slowly feeling sore all over, the white ceiling above me looking blurry, the smell of antiseptic hitting my nose.Ugh, I hated this smell so bad.What happened? My head hurts.I fell down the stairs- someone pushed me.Instantly my head cleared as I jerked up, my hand went to my stomach, the little bulge that had been there felt nonexistent."Elisa." My head jerked towards Damon who had just entered the room."Why does my stomach feel empty Damon?" I asked, my voice hoarse.I wanted to hear words opposite to what I thought."You shouldn't be up yet, lay back down." Damon said avoiding my gaze, as he reached towards me to lay me back down."Answer me Damon." I urged, but he stayed silent.Gripping his sleeve, a hiccup escaped my lips as I tried to muster words to speak."I'm sorry." He apologized instead turning to the side, a tear rolling down his cheeks."Sorry?""What are you sorry for?" I yelled

Desperation

Song recommended Love wins all by IU_________________Damon The day Elisa broke down was still vivid in my head.I had seen everything through the crack of the door, Dave whom I have always known for having only a stoic expression on his face, cried.His wife was no different.Why won't they?I had failed to fulfill a promise that I made to them, never to hurt their daughter.Not only did I hurt her, I caused damage to both her mind and body.My heart ached tremendously, my hands shaking as I scooped some water to wash my face.I was worn out mentally and hadn't slept in days.By 11, I would sneak off and lock myself in the car, letting the torment wash over me where no one could see. Then slipped back inside during the nurses' shift change.I don't have to be a burden on anyone else.Nor do I deserve a peaceful sleep with everything Elisa was going through."I knew you would be here." Justin entered the restroom and I immediately turned away trying to compose myself."You don't hav

Strain

SONG RECOMMENDED: CONSTELLATIONS BY KEENAN TEE______________DamonI opened my eyes slowly, the white ceiling above and the strong antiseptic smell telling me I was still in the hospital."Sir you're finally awake." Freddy rushed to my side looking worried as he propped a cup of water closer to me."What are you doing here?" I asked, sitting up, my throat feeling parched.I grabbed the cup from his hands drinking the water myself."Sir you passed out for three days, the hospital had no choice to contact me since Madam Elisa wouldn't pick up."My grip on my cup tightened, Elisa was listed as my emergency contact, she must really not want to see me.Wait, I was asleep for three days?The devil's torment was usually strong enough to wake me up from my sleep."What about what you found? Is it safe?" I questioned instantly.I would think about the torment later, now I just have to get rid of those people."It is sir, but it's not best to pursue it now, the doctor advises you to be on bed
