The Duchess And The Devil 소설 & 이야기

"He is Valentin Rostislav, the ruthless Alpha of the Crown Heart Pack. From his pack to the underworld, his reputation is infamous, and he is a real psycho." "There is no way I am going to distract a man that is capable of killing me with the snap of his fingers. He is a demon lycan, and I am just a human girl that is easy to snap like a twig." I was enraged when one of the humans pointed a gun at her head and impressed by the lack of fear in her eyes. When she got slapped by that bastard she called brother, I wanted to get involved and tear him apart, so I took a step in that direction, but Alexei appeared in front of me and assured me.

Is he that serious? Drake Javier didn’t touch his food right away. He just watched me reread the number in the contract like my brain refused to process it the first time. Five million dollars. For a second, I honestly thought I was hallucinating. “Five million dollars,” I repeated slowly. “Yes.” “For eighteen months.” “Yes.” I looked up at him. “For marriage.” “A contractual arrangement with the legal structure of marriage,” he corrected calmly. “There are distinctions.” I pulled out the second page beneath the payment amount and started reading properly. Most of it was packed with legal terms, but the important parts stood out immediately. A legally binding marriage lasting eighteen months

The duchess held out her hand and gripped Caroline’s. “I am so glad to finally meet you. Daniel here is being secretive that the next we received a mail from him, it was a wedding invitation to Stonelockteco,” the duchess said as Daniel was smirking at the couple. “Well, I don’t want anyone to get her away from me,” Daniel said before he turned to look at Caroline as she turned to face him. She felt warm at the statement. “Oh, enough with the dramatics. You never wanted to get married but then you met her. I must say, I think our queen was involved with this matchmaker,” the man with yellow eyes and a blonde woman by his side said as they were approaching them.

Vimar and Brage sink into the grass, while Indra manages to stay upright. "Your friends aren't as strong as you are. You're interesting, little girl. Who are you?" Indra raises her chin, looks defiantly into the fairy queen’s bottomless black eyes and replies in a strong voice: "I am Indra, the Devil's Daughter." Melia's backing away. Her companions make hissing noises and the ashen fog retreats several meters revealing blossoming wildflowers underneath. Melia raises a hand and the fog stops. Then she turns back to Indra and studies her from top to bottom. "I didn't know Lucifer had a daughter..."

I decided to look for her only to see her with my mother in the lounge area. "Hello, sweetheart." My mother's smile was genuine. I'd only seen her smile that way when I'd finally agreed to marry Genevieve. "Hello, Bianca." Mum sat down beside her. "Did Caleb tell you what happened?" Genevieve glanced toward the hallway. "He said it was an accident." Mum's expression darkened. "It wasn't." Genevieve frowned. "What do you mean?" "That wretched girl did this to him."

She was drugged by the Duchess' men and was given to us to deliver to the Duke of the north. Man 1: Such a shame a beautiful lady like her is to be defiled by that pot-bellied old geezer, maybe we should have a taste before delivering her. What do you say ! eh? . His brows danced in expectation of his partner's affirmative answer. Man 2: The duchess gave specific instructions to deliver her unharmed, or do you want her to put a bounty on our heads and hurt us down for the rest of our lives?. Man 2: I would rather not, but it can't be hel.... , he was interrupted by the neigh of the horses when his partner pulled the carriage to an abrupt stop.

“You had one job, Dustin. Make her forget! Instead, you brought your untrained assignments to the job then let her get away. I had to find her and bring her here. That was before she went to see Michael.” “How do you know she saw him?” “I’m the devil, genius. I know everything. Give me that.” In a low voice that I could still hear, “I can still make her forget. There’s time.” “You better, because there isn’t any time, Dustin. She’ll start rebelling before you even realise and if she does, it is your head I’ll cut off, not Michael’s. She’s not easy this one.” He sighs. “There are plenty of worthy souls. Why linger on this one, damned and useless?”

Anna The scent of slow-roasted meat, rich spices, and caramelized sugar filled the air, wrapping around customers like a warm embrace. The Queen's Delights was the crown jewel of the city's culinary scene, known for its best selection of pastries and the most tender, mouthwatering meats money could buy. A five-star confectionery that I had carved it into existence with the same precision I used when slicing through flesh. Who would ever believe that behind the pristine glass counters and glowing five-star reviews, the owner was the popular Queen of Doom.

Anna trembled with fear as David revealed his sinister plan. “What? No no no… You can’t do that. My brother didn’t do anything to you. You can’t kill him,” she pleaded. “If you don’t want him to see dead then you have to listen to me,” David responded, a wicked smile on his face. Anna's heart raced as she asked, “Tell me what you want?” “You have to marry me.” “What the hell are you saying? Few moments ago you wanted to kill me and now you wanted to marry me? I will not marry any devil like you. Who takes people's lives easily and plays with that.”

It was just a way for him to have control and power over me. But I’m the one with the power here. To get my revenge, I would do anything, I would give anything, and right now, I was selling my soul to the devil. But in this story, there are two devils. One doesn’t just know it yet.
