STALKING THE BILLIONAIRE DEVIL のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

[OUTHOUSE]As expected, it was dark. The only single light in the room was a tiny yellow light that cast its warmth over a chessboard. Drexton sat at the side of the outhouse, far away from the door. A table was in front of him. A chessboard was on it. The other side was an empty chair, meant for Ixora.The light only shone on that side, as for the rest of the outhouse, total darkness.The place was silent, like an abandoned house. His eyes were closed as his fingers tapped gently on the chessboard. It was as if he was tracking the time with each tap he made. The bandage was still wrapped tightly around the palm, and that alone gave him the devil's look.Suddenly, his nose caught her scent. The scent he could recognize even if she was in the midst of a zillion crowds. Velvet kiss.Her slow footsteps began echoing in his ears, and he knew she was walking in. Her heartbeat was loud, loud enough to reach his ears from the entrance where she was.Slowly, he opened his eyes, dead and em

[BLACKTHORN AUTOMOBILE, LUNCH TIME]Ixora dried her hands with the hand towel. She wanted to leave the restroom when she caught a reflection of herself in the mirror.She has been cursing Drexton since he stole her first kiss, like it meant absolutely nothing. He had no right to do that to her? His dominant behavior shouldn't be used on her. Like, how dare he?She exhaled. There is a high chance he might finally let her be. Hasn't he succeeded in ruining her life? He destroyed her friendship with Hazel and made her a complete liar, even to Blake. That outhouse was the last time she'd meet up with him, and if he ever tries any shit with her again, she wouldn't hesitate to put him in his place. Even if it means crossing her boundaries.As for Drexton, it is just like he has disappeared after the night. He didn't come to the office today, which was so unlike him, and he wasn't even on a business trip.If only the police had believed her when she told them the truth, then she wouldn't be

"Wait, what?" Audrey asked.She and Skye exchanged meaningful glances."I'm looking for the guy who hugged Ixora," Blake replied, his eyes still glued to the system."This is crazy," Skye muttered.Audrey climbed down. "Let me get this straight, you are looking for a guy who hugged Ixora and has the scent of obsidian veil. How are you even sure he smells like that?""Because I perceived the scent from Ixora after the man had left..." he stopped and faced Audrey. "At the bridge.""Okay, this is madness. You are going mad. How are you even sure he has something to do with Ixora?" "Ixora doesn't hide anything from me. Then, tell me why she didn't tell me about the man. I saw them hugging at the bridge, and when I asked her, I could see she was hesitant," Blake replied."Yunno what, both of you have gone insane. How are you even sure she sees you as more than a friend? You are getting obsessed with her," Audrey said, her voice low with concern."As long as she is the one I'm obsessing ov

The streetlights shone brightly on the streets. The night ambiance was cool, and the gentle breeze slapped Nelly's skin softly.Nelly had a smile plastered on her face as she took a night stroll. She had decided to walk on foot. The driver left with her car. She'd call him if anything went wrong. It had been a long time since she had come to New York. She missed the city so much. She would have come back a long time ago, but because of something bad, she had to stay with her mother.She reached a pet shop and saw the cats meowing softly at her. She had always been a lover of cats. She wanted to enter the shop, but the sound of the cricket was a reminder that it was late.She turned and made to continue walking when a car drove past her, splashing mud all over her body. "What the!" Nelly yelled, taking off her glasses since the mud splashed on the lenses.The car abruptly stopped, without applying the brakes.Nelly put on her glasses and walked to the car.She tapped gently on the win

The lights came on.She pulled out the knife.Her eyes went wide. The knife slipped from her trembling hands as she saw the face of the person."I... I... Xora," Blake stuttered weakly, pressing his palm on the stabbed stomach.Ixora stared at him with wide eyes for a second. Two. She couldn't find her voice."B...lake," she called, her lips quivering.Blake traced his palm, which had already been stained by his blood.His gaze met Ixora's own, and slowly, he fell to his knees."Somebody call the ambulance and the police. That girl just tried to murder that boy."She heard a person shout."Blake!" she called, tears sliding down her cheeks.She rushed to him and held him before his head could touch the ground.She went on the ground with him."Blake! Somebody help!" she shouted, shaking his body.Blake's eyes were on her.Ixora could see the look of hurt in his eyes.Slowly, he closed his eyes, going into an unconscious state."Blake! Somebody please call the ambulance!""Blake!" Skye
