บททั้งหมดของ THE DEVIL'S DUE: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

“How did I forget tonight is a no show night?” Gerald asked as he walked with Mia and Peach away from Pandemonium.“It's not your fault. It seemed like everyone, including the boss, forgot. But why is it a no show night!” Mia questioned curiously.“Every sixth day of every new month, there's always a break,” Peach answered.“Why the sixth day?”“The boss likes the idea of sixes. Goes with the whole devil thing,” she explained.“You know I called him devil cosplayer in my mind when I first met him.”“You and your name calling,” Gerald said.They were all laughing when Niko showed up.Peach was the first to stop laughing. The rest followed suit after seeing the direction of her gaze.“Is this a trio now?” Niko asked.“No sir. I was just bringing Mia to her room. It seems we all forgot tonight is a no show night.”“Alright. You, come with me,” he said to Peach.“Can't, I'm busy.”“I'm not going to ask twice.” He turned around and walked away.“Wow!” Mia breathed out.“Pay him no attentio

“I called, you didn't answer,” Luca said immediately Mia saw him.“I–” she paused, and exhaled. “I was on a walk with Lev. He has been coming around so we can talk about how to go about the situation. He said you're aware and gave your permission?” She replied, pulling her back from the walls and walking to her table to draw even more distance between them.“What does that have to do with you not answering your call? I told you before. I call, you answer.”“I'm sorry,” she said.Internally, she beat herself up for speaking too soon.He was back with his shitty rollercoaster mood, thus, the eternal difference between him and Lev who was also very rich, by the way.She wondered if she could convince Lev to pay off her debts so she could work with him instead.He seemed like he would be a better boss.“So you two are straight now? Any hiccups?” Luca asked just as the silence began to stretch.“No hiccups.”“Will you look at me when I'm talking to you?”Mia nodded, and turned around.Her

MIAThe night had arrived. In an hour, I would finally get to meet Lev's parents. The actual president and first lady of Russia.After my weird encounter with the devil last night, I was truly determined to give this meeting my all.Lev was by all indication the best guy I had met in this so-called castle. Bar, Mr Peacock of course.I rose to my feet to stare at my reflection in the mirror, after Mr Peacock said I could.The result was pleasantly shocking. This dress was literal perfection. The kind I would have robbed to own back when I was still actively trying to get into Hollywood.It was a strapless maxi dress that hugged the curves I quite didn't know I possessed.Or perhaps, there was hip padding attached?“You look like a goddess, Mia,” Mr Peacock said, pulling me out of my head.“And she's naturally blonde too with thick, luscious hair. You know they say blondes have more fun. Should I dye my hair blonde?” Peach, who had also made herself available in my room for reasons I w

MIA“I guess we're back to the castle where the devil lives,” I said with a smile as Lev stopped the car.He turned to me with a smile also on his face. “Thank you.”“For what?”“Lots of things. But mostly tonight. My parents loved you and that's saying a lot.”“Oh don't be that way,” I groaned playfully. “I expected to meet you know the typical Russian parent who would make me shit in my pants, but they turned out to be really cool people. I still think your dad carries around three guns by the way. That trick he did with the balloons did not convince me otherwise.”He laughed, and it was a cute sound unlike the devils deep laughter.I sighed internally and chided myself for comparing him with that devil of a man– literally.“So one day down, two more to go?” He lifted a brow.“That's right. Are we still having dinner?”“Lunch actually, so you might make it to Pandemonium. I don't want to keep you away from the golden chair unnecessarily. Something tells me it's important that you ge

MIA I closed my eyes, fighting back tears. This was usually the kind of difficult situation I ran away from.But this time, I didn't even have the luxury of running away.For the first time since I discovered I had been sold off by Mr Nova, I felt hatred. Hatred for Mr Nova, and for myself. The hatred for myself was because despite everything that was happening, I felt my core throbbing as I sat on the devil's lap and he told me he'd fuck me.Any other person and my body would have instantly shut off. But he made my body come alive instead.He, the devil, was the biggest mistake of my life.My torturer may damn well be my remedy.I didn't say a word to him. He didn't take his lips off my ears.We just sat there, him breathing into my ears, me seated on his lap whilst staring blankly at the sky.A few minutes rolled by, and then he reclined.My body subconsciously moved back to rest on his chest, and he wrapped his hand around me.Just like that, I was locked, and trapped.
