บททั้งหมดของ THE DEVIL'S DUE: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

MIAMs Bird cager had told me not to expect the devil tonight because he would be no show.I hadn't seen him for like three days. I was happy at first. And then I started to wonder about his whereabouts- subconsciously though.Imagine my surprise seeing him tonight, seated at his favourite position, staring at me.The smile I let out was reflexive. I hadn't meant to. Part of me was grateful to him in a sense. Ms Bird cager finally gave me my new card, and bank details.Mr peacock told me to request for a phone next so I could track my earnings.Every time I thought about asking the devil for a phone, I felt a bite at the pit of my stomach. It would go dangerously wrong. I already knew it would. Yet the thrill of the temptation was so great, I didn't mind it.The devil didn't stay long. As quick as he came, he was gone.But Lev Oleg replaced him just as fast. And by the time my night was over and I went backstage, he was there- Lev.“You were excellent tonight as usual,” he said, wal

“No, I can't kiss you,” Mia shook her head. “You can't kiss me either,” she whispered.“Don't be a wimp,” he groaned childishly, his steps faltering a little bit.“I'm not being a wimp. It's called being morally sensible.”Easily sidestepping him, Mia moved over to the bed and plopped on it.“Ugh!” He walked over to the bed too and sat beside her. “You want to see something? So you see I'm not lying?”“What?” Her worried eyes rested on his face.Pulling his phone out of his side pocket, he flipped it open.“I received this tonight. Or should I say last night since it's technically past midnight.”He dropped the phone on her lap, and Mia picked it up.Her eyes almost bulged out of its socket when she saw the raunchy scene playing.“Isn’t this the guy that–”“Offered you an out?”She whipped her head to him.“He is. That's Rhys. He's Olivia's step brother. And that's Olivia. This happened three days ago. I received the video tonight.”It all made sense to Mia why he was drunk now.“I'm

MIAI stared at the blank page in front of me, and sighed.Olivia Luxe had inspired me to take my writing seriously.She wrote with such beautiful prose, regardless of what it was she was writing.Whether it was just a summary of her day, or she was talking about a time from before.But ever since finding out she didn't write her pieces, I've been so empty.It felt like a betrayal of some sort.The garden view was supposed to be my inspiration, but it just made me feel more depressed.A heavy knock on my door dragged my attention to it.I hoped whatever was at the other side of the door was at least intriguing.“Give me a second,” I said, as I dashed to the door, and opened it. “Olivia?” I double blinked.“Thank you, Iris,” she said to the girl who smiled and walked away. “Can I come in?”“Su-sure.” I stepped aside for her to go through.Taking a deep breath, I shut the door and then turned around.“So– welcome?”“Drop the act. Are you fucking my fiancee?”“Sorry?”“I believe I asked

Olivia followed Luca straight to his room, apologizing profusely.“You know your father doesn't want you with me. Maybe it's time for you to go.”He walked into his room and tried to shove the door in her face.She held it before it could close, and pushed it open.“I'm so sorry. I really am, Luca. I didn't think he would do something this stupid. I thought both of you were in a great place.”“Yeah I thought so too,” he said, running through his drawer in search of a pack of cigarettes. “I turn my back to him and what does he do? He stabs it! He fucking stabs it!”“And he'll pay for it, I promise. He'll pay double of everything he took!”He found the pack, and began folding his things back in place.Luca loved his properties properly arranged. His brain never rested until he got his things back to how he met them. “You know if your father was anyone else, he would have been dead already, I promise you. I would have killed him without any hesitation. I am holding back for you! And for

MIA He just stared at me for an uncomfortably long while.I didn't know what to say either. It was supposed to be a joke because I couldn't actually tell him my real intentions.How could I tell the devil I wanted to strangle the woman he was marrying soon? That just sounded like a ridiculously bad decision in my mind.He wasn't saying anything, so I decided to walk away.Not sure why, I just didn't feel comfortable anymore in the silence.I had taken only a step when his tough hand grabbed my elbow, and dragged me back.The bag containing my underwear slipped from my hand and landed on the ground.My back was slammed against the wall faster than I could take a breath.“You listen to me carefully,” his face leaned into mine, the only thing separating us being our breaths. “You don't get to die until you either complete your deal, or I kill you for failing. Do you understand?”I just bobbed my head like a zombie, not knowing what else to do.He was supposed to let go after making his
