Semua Bab THE DEVIL'S DUE: Bab 121 - Bab 130

MIA“Oh my God, pretty girl. You got vintage Dior too? Vintage Dior?!” Peach almost screamed my ears off, as we went through the things I shopped for in Paris.“I guess,” I replied modestly, because I didn't know how else to respond without sounding like I was bragging.Bragging wasn't my thing. Not until there was a real need for it.“He bought you a Birkin. Hold me, I'm going to faint!” She freed up her body, and it swayed behind, landing on my bed.That made me actually burst out laughing.“I know right? All of the celebrities I used to see in Hollywood would usually carry one. I can't believe I own one now.”“Honey, he loves you.”I froze.“I'm not even kidding, Pretty girl. He is in love with you. Do you know how much in total all of these costs? A fucking fortune.”She seemed to realise I wasn't reacting, and actually stopped talking to spare me a glance.“Hey, What's wrong? Did I say something off?” “No, nothing. You're joking of course. Love? That's impossible,” I scoffed.“O

MIAI was distracted tonight, and I didn't like it.All I could think of was the devil carrying the other little demon, Olivia.It wasn't supposed to be a bother, because I was supposed to be going with the flow.Yet, here I was in the golden chair, which was my escape place, wishing I could be somewhere else.Not even the cheers from the clients tonight, lifted my spirits.When my shift came to an end, I was more than happy to be taken off the chair.“Are you okay?” Peach asked the second, I changed into normal clothes after taking off my costume.A new room had been opened up for me. It was my changing room.This meant I didn't have to dress up from my own personal room anymore.“The door.” I nudged my head at it.She understood, and shut it behind her..“Okay, I made sure the room has thick walls so no one can eavesdrop.”I smiled, remembering how surprised I was a few hours ago, seeing the dressing room for the first time.“Where was this smile at the golden chair tonight? Don't g

LUCA I was distracted.It was a new day, and I had eaten breakfast with Olivia, which had sucked.All I could think of was Mia whilst I was with Olivia.Sitting at my desk at the moment, I couldn't even concentrate.I had a stack of emails to respond to before I took Olivia for a three day honeymoon celebration at Seychelles.No one would ever be able to accuse me of not treating her well, despite my attempts at attaining her father's wealth.The buzzer from the landline jolted me out of my head, and my hand furiously went to the device with an impulsive intent to pick it up, and fling it against the wall.Thankfully, that desire was curtailed in time, enabling me to answer the call.“Mr Luca Barone,” the feminine voice said.I recognized it instantly. This had to be agent Santos.It wasn't surprising she had this number, either. Business numbers were usually more accessible.“Hello agent Santos.”“Should I be flattered that you recognise my voice?”“Not really. What do you want?” I

MIAI stared at the blank screen after erasing the same paragraph for the third time.Writing used to be so easy for me. When I was still depressed, and contemplating suicide back in Gregory Baxters house, writing was my escape.My nervous system was not as imbalanced anymore, and that didn't make for a good inspiration.I decided to take a break and just aimlessly scroll through my phone.The second I picked up my phone, a strange message popped up on my screen.I found the number unfamiliar, hence my reluctance in opening the text.After a few seconds, I opened it anyway.“I know what you did, and you'll pay.”The phone slipped off my hand, and my heart skipped a beat.My head spun around instantly, as if the person who had sent the ominous message was right there in my room.Still in a state of paranoia, I jumped out of my bed, and went straight for the window where I peeked to see if I would find any strange movements.I shut the window despite not seeing anything, and then brough

MIAMr Peacock came into my room the next morning, and we quickly jumped into discussions about my dress for the event.“I think I have an idea of what kind of dress you need. Since we have a couple of days until the event, I should be able to get some samples for you to try. And if you find one that perhaps needs any adjustments, we'd be able to handle that on time. Is that okay with you?”I hugged the fuck out of Mr Peacock, because he was simply the best.“You're such a doll,” he laughed as he hugged me back.When he left, I picked out my MacBook to try and write something. Only before I could, a beep caught my attention.A message from the anonymous therapist website showed that I had matched with Darien Luxe. Of course it wasn't his real name, but Mr Wolf had told me the name to expect..The victorious smile that formed on my face was immediate and wide.Swiftly, I logged into the website, and went straight to the chat page between myself and Darien.“Your bio caught my attention
