All Chapters of HATE OR LOVE: Devils In Obsession : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Flavian.It had only been three days since the family returned to the estate, and Keaton was already calling a “town meeting.” So here I was, seated at the round table of elders in the auditorium. I checked my wristwatch to break away from my brother’s intense stare. Someone was late. Two people were late: Eve and Millicent.Millicent was my cousin and the youngest member of the EC. When I say young, I mean really young, she was only twenty, almost the same age as my daughter, Jennifer.Millicent’s parents had occupied the seat she now held, thanks to Madame Antoinette, who adopted her after the assassination of her parents ten years ago.Millicent was the softer version of Madame Antoinette. She made emotional decisions and gave opinions that were often unsuitable for the presented situation. I wasn’t saying she was dumb, I was saying she was not suitable for the rank she held at this table.Regardless, no one was brave enough to vote her out because of me. One, through her I convey

Eve." No that's not possi-""Come on, show me your brother " I cut in.The weather was getting funny and I hate to get drenched, I gestured him to start walking, he limped.A while later I passed through an arch way hidden under a rug of grass, I know this place. This bunker used to be play room. How did they find it?It was dark and although he tried convincing me to stay behind so he could get his brother outside instead, I insisted based on the fact that I wanted to see the inner state of the bunker, maybe relive some memories.A younger boy came running with a lantern"Syd! you're back" he hugs his brother.The boy was shot in the leg so he winced in the hug with his brother but he never ended the complained."Hey what happened to you"Asked the little boy.When he eyes met mine, he jolted, hugging his brother tighter "who is she?" "Hello"I waved, offering a friendly smile that didn't change his cold expression of me."It's okay she means no harm" said the boy, his brother Syd.

Eve.I was whisked backward abruptly, hitting his brick-like chest.“Don’t fuck with me. Let go.”He didn’t, and my body was exploding with nothing but excitement right now. I don't think I liked where this was going.“I got the flowers for you,” he whispered near the shell of my ear, shoving them in front of me and making me hold them. The flowers had a fresh grassy scent, confirming they were indeed fresh.I narrowed my eyes when he released me. He shouldn’t have… Now I felt cold again.“Don’t turn around,” he continued whispering.I didn’t dare move an inch or attempt to look at him, yet I could still sense his unwavering gaze on me.“When was the last time you dyed your hair?” he quizzed as he slid my hair off my back to the side, perhaps to have a better look at my bare back?When I didn’t respond, he murmured, “Your gray strands are exceptional. It makes you appear wise, it's quite deceptive.”He slipped a necklace around my neck while I thought and rethought his words… his very

Eve.I didn’t bother rejoining the reception. I found my way out after instructing Crandon to look after Christopher and Grace. He raised a brow at the mention of Grace but made no objections.Now I was headed into another territory, the Rostovs’ territory. the enemy’s territory.This island wasn’t owned solely by the Waldorfs; the Rostovs had equal rights to it. There was a time when the Rostovs and the Waldorfs were close allies, close enough to partner in funding the development of this island. That was in the last century. Now it was just a fight for territory and resources. Arseny had taken it personally to kill me at any chance he got.That was why I brought Percy... My dearie step cousin, on this little trip to go see the wicked witch who had chased these poor children out of their father’s house. From the information Syd gave us, we were able to track her down.Percy was here to ensure his psycho boyfriend didn’t come after my head. Syd and Alan were here to have their final c

Flavian."So what you're saying is, my dear step-niece went into the Rostovs' territory in the company of my nephew to..."I pause, my brows drawing together as I glare at Mona.Why can't these people do things right?"To settle scores with the children's mother.""And then what happened?"My fingers intertwined on the table as I leaned out of my office chair.She had reported everything in detail that very night but this morning I wanted her to repeat herself... Perhaps, just perhaps, she'd detect her own incompetence without verbal reprimands."The night ended with the woman in question dead and Eve severely injured. I wasn't in the house to know what had occurred , I was instructed to stay out...""Whose instructions? Who do you work for, Mona?""You, sir. I work for you and take your instructions.""And what were my instructions?""Four steps behind Eve, four steps ahead of Eve when she's in danger..."Her voice died down at the end."Sir, the lady was strict.""And I?"I rose to m
