All Chapters of The Devil Owns Me Now: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The casual way he said it annoyed me more than the actual words.He flipped a page and added, “As for my meeting today… I have to meet someone but you can call it a date too.”“A date?” The word flew out of my mouth faster than my brain could stop it.Leon looked at me with raised eyebrows, like I was the one being unreasonable.“What’s with the surprise?” he asked. “I shouldn’t have a date? Someone to dine with… someone to warm my bed at night?” His voice dipped on purpose, poking at me. “Or wait…you think I don’t have sex? I’m not a virgin and inexperienced like you, Ronan.”The last part hit me like a slap. He definitely meant to mock me.I chewed on my lip harder, glaring at him. I hated that he kept throwing that in my face, making fun of the one thing I admitted out of honesty but what I wasn’t expecting at all was to hear him casually say he wasn’t a virgin.So he’d been sleeping around too? Just like his brother? Or did he have someone he was dating? Or… did he also have a sex

“Get back inside. Right now.” Leon growled, jabbing his finger toward the helicopter like he was two seconds away from dragging me in there himself. And honestly? As much as I wanted to stand my ground and yell no in his face, that stupid urge to listen to him was already crawling up my spine. My body literally tried to turn around on its own, like some trained puppy, but I forced myself to stay rooted where I was.“You brought me to a location that I’m not even familiar with, and you want me to just sit inside that helicopter alone? Without you there?” I snapped, crossing my arms tightly. “Impossible. I’m not doing that.”I glanced around, my frown deepening. We were on another island, just great. This one looked even smaller than the one we just left with just a few boats tied loosely to wooden posts and some scattered huts that looked like they’d fall apart if the wind blew too hard. There was no house in view, no sign of life, no restaurant, nothing.“What even is this place?” I

“You don’t have to tell him to leave,” Mara murmured to Leon, looking up at him with a tiny pout. “Won’t it be sad for him to just sit in the helicopter?” she added, and those pitiful eyes landed on me again.I held her stare, fighting the urge to roll my eyes so hard . I didn’t want her pity, I didn’t need it and I didn’t even ask for it.Leon cut her off with a glare so sharp that I almost flinched.“The last time I checked,” he said coldly, “I didn’t ask you for a say. Did I? Learn your place, Mara.”The way her face fell for a second almost made me feel bad but then she smiled sheepishly at Leon and tucked her hair behind her ears trying to act cute and that made the tiny bit of sympathy I had evaporate instantly.Honestly, Leon was an asshole and he didn’t have to talk to her like that but also, she kinda deserved it for giving me that stupid pity look. Leon was clearly irritated because of me, and she happened to catch the heat of his temper.“I won’t be long, so wait for me

The cabin looked like it would fall apart if someone leaned on it too hard and the only solid thing about it seemed to be the roof, and even that didn’t look like it had much of a long life ahead of it. Everything else looked old, shaky, and honestly not strong at all.I walked a little closer, then stopped again. Was this even a good idea? The place had no windows, just open spaces where light slipped through the cracks. Which meant that if Leon wanted to see me, he could. He just needed to turn his head and look outside, and boom, I'm finished. He would probably storm out, grab me by the arm, drag me back to the helicopter like some disobedient kid, and that would be the end of that.Or worse… he might take me back to the house and throw me into the basement again like before. Maybe even keep me there until he figured out what to do with me. Or get rid of me altogether and find a new sex pet for his brother. If he planned to release me and replace me, I would actually be happy, but

By the time we got to the helicopter, the pilot was already awake, but he didn’t even glance at us. He looked completely uninterested in whatever drama we had going on. He simply started the helicopter and waited for us to strap in before lifting off the ground.I knew I was already in trouble, so I didn’t bother saying anything. I also wanted Leon to be the first to speak and to give me whatever punishment he had cooked up for what I’d done. And I was right, because soon enough, he finally spoke.“You really like to push my nerves, Ronan. All you do is try to make my already bad day worse. I had a long day at work yesterday, and I needed to relax but you made sure to ruin it.”I almost let out a chuckle but forced myself to keep a straight face.“Oh, I’m so sorry I ruined your little rest time,” I said flatly. “I would hate to have ruined it. I also wish there was a way to help you… but unfortunately, I can’t.”I had to bite the inside of my cheek to hide the smile threatening to sho
