All Chapters of His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride•: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Author's POV Iris looked outside the window, feeling completely numb from the inside. It felt as if everything was being torn away from her.Why me? She asked the question in her mind to God.First, she had lost her team, then him, then her child, and now her father.Her heart was breaking apart as they drove farther and farther away from Xavier. It hurt far more than she had expected, knowing she might never see him again. Those fire brown eyes that always looked at her as if she were his entire world haunted her mind.If he hadn't killed them... could I have been with him? She asked herself the question but couldn't find anything.She knew she mattered to him more than anything.How can I leave him behind? Should I just go back to him and forget everything? Those thoughts run in her mind.Everything is going in her mind as she asked. She needs time to think. She couldn't leave everything behind like this. Yet somewhere deep inside, her mind screamed at her not to be foolish. She kn

Author's POV Iris's hands and legs were tied up. She struggled against the ropes, trying to break free. The skin around her wrists and ankles was rubbed raw and bleeding, yet she kept trying, even though her head was still spinning from the effects of the drugs.She pushed herself hard, landing on the floor with a loud thud. The chair she was tied to crashed down with her, making her hiss in pain. She bit her lip hard to stop herself from making any noise until she tasted blood in her mouth.The door opened, making her go still.Evander walked inside, and the moment he saw her lying on the floor, trying to free herself, he burst into laughter, as if it were the funniest thing he had ever seen."Look who's trying... You can't break free from here, even if you try your whole life, butterfly," he mocked.Dragging a chair from the corner, he settled comfortably in front of her. He looked at her as though she were the most interesting thing in the room."Why are you pushing yourself so mu

Author's POV Ethan's steps echoed through the big mansion. It was filled with thick silence. Once, it used to be crowded with people and stories of victory, but now it was just a shadow.He pushed open the door as Declane looked up from the file he was reading. As he saw Ethan's furious eyes on him, he frowned.“What now?” Declane sighed, putting the papers down.“You know what I am here for,” Ethan growled, walking inside the office.“And how am I supposed to know what you are here for… when you have shown me your face here after months?” Declane asked, pulling his glasses off.“Where is Iris?” Ethan asked, pressing on each word.Declane's eyes hardened as he got up from his seat.“And can you explain how I would know where that bitch is?” he stated in a slow, calm voice.“And I dare you to use your words wisely if you don't want me to do something that will make you regret it,” Ethan gritted out, putting his hand on the table's surface.“So don't ask questions when you will only re

Author's POV Her hands were covered with blood as she sat beside the dead body, the one she had killed so brutally. Her eyes were fixed on the door, but she made no move to open it or even get up from the floor. Sounds from outside reached the room as something was happening downstairs. People were screaming, gunshots echoed, and loud shouting could be heard.Iris's eyes were distant. There was nothing in them.The door was pushed open with an aggressive force, slamming against the wall. She didn't look up to see who had entered.Footsteps moved inside. A familiar fragrance filled her senses, making her body relax. She looked up, meeting two brown orbs.Before she could say anything, her body crashed into his arms as his head fell against her neck, his hand cradling the back of her head, holding her tightly into his arms.Her body completely relaxed, letting all her guards down. Her eyes closed as she melted into his embrace. Her mind began to shut down, knowing they were safe.As h

Iris’s POVHis hand wrapped around my waist as he supported me while I walked out of the car. My eyes fell on the big mansion in front of me, the one I once thought I had found my home in. But everything came crashing down. Everything I had expected from it had been built on lies.Xavier's warm hand gently squeezed mine, comforting me. As I breathed deeply, I walked inside, his hand there to support me with every step.As we walked farther, I saw the bodyguards standing in lines. I could see the small, curious faces of the kids. I walked toward them. They would finally be able to go to their homes. I hugged every one of them as I said goodbye. I could feel my eyes getting moist as I waved while the cars drove away, taking them to their destination.I hope they find their happiness in life despite the things that happened to them.I turned around and saw my father standing there. I refused to talk to him after what he did to my mom. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. But seeing the
