All Chapters of The Devil Owns Me Now: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I decided to just eat my food and ignore Leon, since that was exactly what he was doing to me. He was ignoring me completely, but the problem was… he was too damn hard to ignore. His presence was too strong, too domineering and I caught myself shaking at intervals.I had drunk more water than I had actually eaten, and at one point I even choked a little but the bastard didn’t even bother to look at me. He didn’t lift his gaze from his phone. He just sat there, sipping whatever was in his mug, cold and detached.If he was going to sit in front of me with that kind of attitude, he might as well have stayed in his damn office.I looked at the phone in his hand, and suddenly an idea came to my mind. I cleared my throat and sat up straight.“I want to call home,” I said quickly, holding my breath while waiting for a response.“No.” Leon said it after a few seconds, still not raising his eyes from his phone.I gritted my teeth in anger, clenching my fists tightly to stop myself from explodi

I took a deep breath as I couldn’t believe I was seriously considering helping his brother in the first place when I didn't want to but I had to. I had to do what I needed to do to get out of here before I lost my mind completely.Leon moved back from me completely, his expression shifting into something that made me feel stupid. He looked at me like I had lost my mind in front of him.“You can’t do any of those things that you mentioned,” he said, shrugging. As soon as he said that, the urge to hurt him hit me so violently that I actually felt dizzy for a second. I inhaled sharply as I tried to stop myself from acting on the twisted thoughts rushing through me. I wanted to break something on his head. I wanted to grab one of the knives on the floor because I had seen them lying there and stab him in his chest over and over until he stopped breathing.But the moment those thoughts formed properly in my head, I felt sick. This wasn’t me. I wasn’t this type of person. I didn’t think li

I chuckled to myself at first, but the more I thought about what Leon just said, the more ridiculous everything sounded, and before I knew it, the chuckle turned into a full-blown laughter. I was laughing like someone that had finally lost their mind. It went on for almost two whole minutes, my chest rising and falling as the anger inside me fought to stay down.When I finally caught my breath, I sighed heavily and looked at him. “A… perfect… sex… pet,” I said slowly, still chuckling. “Did you really just say that? I mean…seriously? If you wanted someone so perfect, someone that already knew how to do all those things, then you should have gone to pick that person for your brother, not me. So what exactly do you expect me to do?”Leon’s expression didn’t change at all. That same blank, cold stare stayed on his face like it was already a part of it. “You will have to learn,” he said, giving me that pointed look that always made me want to roll my eyes. “So after all of this, I still

I didn’t know if Leon was even back on the island yet, but I hadn’t seen him or his security guard for two whole weeks and that should mean that he wasn’t around. And if he wasn’t around… then my plan was definitely going to work.A slow smile stretched across my face as I rushed to the bathroom to grab my shirt. Then I remembered I had just washed it and it was still wet. I groaned loudly, dragging my hand down my face. Normally, I didn’t step out of my room without my shirt but this time, I think I would have to. I wasn’t going to wait and let my plan waste away just because of a stupid wet shirt.My plan was simple, I was going to rebel and do the exact thing I had been warned not to do, which was to not visit Leon’s quarters.I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my body, contemplating if I should really go like this or just forget everything. But I shook that thought away. I needed to go before I changed my mind. I wasn’t going to let myself overthink. If Leon thought I wa

After I was sure that I had rested well and my breathing was finally back to normal, I pushed myself up from the floor and looked around the place I had entered but to my surprise, it wasn’t a room at all. It was another hallway staring right back at me. I blinked, confused as hell.How was this house even built? Any normal door that someone opened was supposed to lead into a room, right? A bedroom, a study, even a closet but no, this one just opened into another long hallway. Well… it’s not like I was complaining too much. Honestly, this was way better than ending up locked in some tiny room where I’d be trapped, unable to leave because the servants would’ve been outside the door, waiting for me to come out so that they could catch me So I guess, in a way, I was actually glad the door opened to a hallway instead. At least I had the option to continue moving and thus time, it would be all by myself but the problem now was that I was completely and absolutely lost. I had no idea wher
