All Chapters of I Fell For The Devil: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I stared at the man, he was looking directly at the body of the girl he claimed who had cheated on him. He had a small proud smile on his face, as if he would do it again if he had to.I didn’t know whether to be scared or whether to regret ever agreeing to come to this mansion again. Or maybe it was both at the same time. Both feelings.“Oh…” that was mostly all I could say at the moment, even though there was so much going through my mind.m, including wanting to just get the hell out of here.“I loved her, Jules. I really did. But people should know there are consequences to their actions,” he replied, turning to me with a sigh. “Right?”My heart dropped when he locked eyes with me. His eyes were dark, no color. Just dark. Probably like his soul. “Of course.” I forced a smile and tried to act like I was not fazed by the fact that a dead body was right there. “You can get a body bag from the closet down the hall, next to the guest bathroom. After you have done what you’re being paid

An eviction…? I mean, I knew that it would be coming soon, but not this soon. I was supposed to have some time, not a lot, but some at least.“Sir…I need more time, please. I can’t make rent today.”“Your rent has been due since the second, Jules. You always delay my payments, and I’m sorry but I have a family to feed too. I’ve got my own life and bills to take care of,” the landlord explained.I nodded as if he could see me. “I know,” I replied in a breathy way. “I just…” I closed my eyes and sighed, using my free hand to run my hand through my hair in frustration before opening them again. “I’m begging you, I just need more time.”“Sorry, dear. You have until twelve. Goodbye.” He ended the call.I slowly peeled the phone from my ear and sat there, trying to process what had just happened. I placed it on the bedside and cursed under my breath.What was I supposed to do? I had nowhere to get money from? I had no friends and no family other than my mom. As for my dad, he had been kill

“What?” I chuckled the word out in disbelief. “Do you know what you’re asking me to do?” He smiled, nodding. “I won’t regret it, why would I regret it, Jules? Move in with me. It’s going to help you, and we can get to know each other too.” He smiled, hope in his pretty eyes.“I…” I wanted to tell him that I needed to think about it; that I couldn’t just make such a decision like this, but…I didn’t have the time.My landlord wanted me out of his place. Whether I had the rent money or not, he wanted me out. I also needed to deal with my Mom’s bills sooner than later. Staying with Chase would help me in so many ways. I won’t have to worry about rent, food, and bills. I’d be able to work and save until I was on my feet again.As much as I didn’t want to be in debt to him, I’d have him have something to hold over my head, I knew when to wave the white flag. And that was now.“Let me help you, Jules. You don’t have to do it all on your own.” I closed my eyes for a few seconds, swallowing

I was wide awake now, sleep far gone. My heart was pounding in my chest, my breathing deep. “Nic, where’s my mom?”“You need to calm down,” Nic replied. “I didn’t mean to wake you, but this is important. I never call, and you know this.”“I know.” I dragged myself from the bed and stood on my feet, wrapping my free arm around my body while walking over to the window.Daylight was already out, the birds were chirping, and it looked like a good morning. Maybe for everyone, but not me. I needed to know whether my mom was okay. I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to her. I wouldn’t be able to live, I swear. She is my everything. And I’m not even trying to sound cynic, but it’s the truth.She gave me purpose. My goal right now is to be able to do well for myself in life so I can make her life better; so I can give her the best.Maybe the next thing that I wanted so badly that was close to that was a relationship. But right now, I had to focus on my mom. If my dreams were to

It was quiet, the silence lingering in the room, and the tension thick in the air. As soon as I blinked, tears ran down my face freely and I cursed under my breath. I wiped them away as fast as I could. “I’m sorry,” I apologized, going back to sit on the bed next to my mother.She smiled sadly. “I know, baby.” Her voice was soft as she stared at me, the same look of pain in her eyes.I was intrigued though. “Are you really hurt that Dad’s gone? He’s been gone for years, mom.”She chuckled weakly. “And I have always had this hope that he’d come to his senses and come back,” she confessed. “He abandoned us, yeah, but with his death, it feels like he’s abandoned us for good. He’s never coming back.” Her voice broke at the end, her eyes getting teary.I understood. I understood her all too well. If I was being honest, I always had this hope that he’d return; that he’d come to his senses and remember he had a daughter. Even if not for my mom, I used to think he’d come for me. Some day
