Rebecca stood there in silence, contemplating on what to do.

From Axel’s recent behavior, she began doubting if he really wanted to help her, or he needed her to accomplish his goals, because everything was always about him.

But then, she didn’t have anywhere else to go, or who to help her.

A thought suddenly crossed her mind. Fernando!

He was a very good friend of her dad, and she was sure he would help her if she came clean to him. But then, how would she locate him?

She turned, scanning the environment with her eyes, and her gaze landed on Axel who was at the shooting range alone.

Taking a deep breath, she approached him just when he was about to shoot.

“Hey.” She cooed.

He spared her a stare before focusing on what he was doing.

“I’m sorry about earlier. I just…” she inhaled deeply. “I just didn’t know what to do. Fernando was so nice to me and dad and hearing about him after a long time might have sparked my reaction.”

He didn’t reply her. He had his gaze focuse

    Immediately Rebecca heard that, she pushed Kira’s hands off her shoulders and moved back. Her brows furrowed, forming wrinkles and from the look on her face, one could tell she was displeased by what she just heard.“You planned this with Axel, right?” She accused.“No. Axel doesn’t know about this, he doesn’t even care about the pregnancy…”“Then why do you care? Why do you want me to get rid of it?” She fired. Kira hit her forehead in frustration. “Here we go. This is why I never wanted to agree to help you.”“So getting rid of my baby is your definition of help?” She scoffed. “Make it make sense.”“Yes. The child belongs to Eric, and nothing can be hidden under the sun. He’s definitely going to find out one day, and that’s like an advantage to him cause with the child he has high possibilities of taking over your father’s properties.” Kira explained detailedly. Rebecca wasn’t still convinced, not for a bit. “Who is going to tell him? You? Axel? Aside both of you no one else

    When she got to where the men were, they pointed guns at her. “Who are you?” They asked in unison.“I am Rebecca Lu…”“Don’t.” She heard Kira’s voice from the bus. “Don’t say your surname.”“I am Rebecca.”One of the men scoffed. “Who cares about your fucking name?”“But you asked who I was and…”“Your identity!” He said firmly. “Is the boss expecting you?” “No, I…” Their grips on their gun tightened. “Then what are you doing here?”“Can you please call him and let him know Rebecca is here? Please.” To her surprise, they didn’t bulge. She watched as the guy touched the bud in his ear and spoke to whoever was at the other end.“Rebecca who?” She kept quiet, waiting for Kira to tell her what to say, since she stopped her earlier from saying her surname.“The daughter of his late friend, Michael.” She repeated what Kira told her. She noticed how the men observed her as she said that, and she couldn’t help but wonder why. The men exchanged looks after one of them whi

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   The interrupted wedding

    The stylist smiled satisfactorily as the bride stepped out of the dressing room. Looking at how the ice white satin gown fitted the bride, she couldn't help but to be proud of herself. She needed no one to tell her that she did a good job.The bride in front of her was the definition of a perfect bride. She could be mistaken for an angel because of how beautiful and clean she looked."I'm glad you chose this design, it is so pretty" Commented the stylist as she walked to the bride, helping her with the place that needed amendment.After the amendments, she raised her head, staring directly at the bride. "You look almost perfect... Something is missing."She was expecting the bride to ask what it was, but to her disappointment, the bride didn't ask."Miss Rebecca, are you okay?"Taking a deep breath, Rebecca joined her palms together, then she puffed out air from her mouth. "I'm fine" She finally replied. "What do you say is missing?""A smile!" The stylist exclaimed and the bride chuc

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   In a strange place

    Rebecca opened her eyes slowly and her vision was blurry. She groaned and tried to stand up but couldn't, somehow she was too weak to. She closed her eyes again and when she opened it this time around, she could see clearly. The smell of rose filled her nostrils and her brows furrowed. She managed to sit upright on the bed and her lips parted when she saw a posy of roses on the bedside table. Her eyes scanned around the room and it wasn't somewhere familiar, it was totally strange."Where am I?" She muttered.As she tried to think through it, she was hit with a strong headache and she yelled out in pain.The door to the room immediately flew opened and a young lady rushed in."You are awake." The lady flashed her a smile. A smile which Rebecca could see through, she could tell it was a fake one.She stared at the lady for some time, observing her. The young lady was dressed in a black suit and her hair was packed in a ponytail, the young lady was indeed pretty with her spotless f

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Meeting the boss

    Rebecca had finished crying, and she was seated on the floor with her hands wrapped around her knees. She couldn't cry anymore, she was tired and hungry, she hadn't eaten anything since the previous day. Just as if her mind was being read, the door opened and Kira walked in, holding a tray of food."Get up quickly." Kira said, as she dropped the tray on the bed, ignoring the scattered bedsheet. Rebecca spared the food a stare, and surprisingly, it was her favorite meal, stir-fried spaghetti."Eat up fast, you need to prepare. I made the chef prepare the food with extra spice. I was told you liked it." Kira informed her, before walking out of the room.She was taken aback. It was true she liked her food extra spicy. How did Kira know about that? Who told her? She was still trying to figure it out when her eyes spotted the tulip of roses on the bedside table. She had seen the flowers when she woke up, but she didn't give attention to it, but now that she thought of it, she became ast

    His bright blue eyes moved from her head to her toes, observing every feature of her. An almost invisible smile appeared on his lips when he spotted a butterfly tattoo on her left wrist. "How have you been, Becca?" His voice was low and smooth. It was slow and deliberate, as if he was choosing each word with care. Rebecca's skin prickled with goosebumps as soon as she heard his voice. For the first time in six years, she was hearing his voice again. Her eyes moved shakily around him. He was no longer the cute young innocent boy she used to know, he had transformed into a dangerous handsome man. He looked dangerous in the black tuxedo. And he had a dark aura around him. He had changed in those years, and she easily noticed it. He took a step forward, and she moved back immediately. She couldn't believe he was the same man she used to love. He was looking so dangerous, and for some reason she was scared. Axel's eyes darkened when he noticed the fear in her eyes. His expression

    She saw Axel's eyes flickering in regret, but it didn't last long. "Just know I won't ever hurt you." He mumbled.She was about to speak when he injected her with the syringe, and she immediately passed out in his arms. Axel carried her in his arms and walked out of the garden. As soon as he got outside, he met kira there. She had a frown on her face when she saw him carrying Rebecca. "Should I get someone to come carry her?" She asked. "Get someone to dress her up." Axel said, ignoring her question. "You're taking her back?" Kira asked, a bit surprised. "Don't question me, Kira. Just do as I've said." He ordered. Kira bowed her head, "Okay boss." She muttered and walked away. Axel stared down at Rebecca's face, and he let out a sigh. He continued walking till he got to one of the empty rooms. He placed her on the bed. A few minutes later, Kira showed up with another girl. The girl bowed in a way of greeting, but Axel didn't spare her a stare. His gaze was fixed on Reb

    In the dining room, Rebecca, Whitney and Ella were seated patiently, waiting for Eric to bring the food.As soon as Eric dished out the food, Rebecca eagerly took her first bite."This tastes so good." She commented.Eric smiled, he knew her compliment was genuine, not just to make him happy. Her facial expression revealed it.He took his apron off his body and took the seat next to Ella."I'm glad you like it."After that, they all ate in silence. Only the sounds of plates and cutleries clicking could be heard."I'm so glad you are back, I thought I lost you forever." Eric broke the silence."Me too." Rebecca replied with a charming smile on her face.Eric returned the smile. "So tell us, who took you? And why did they let you go?"Ella and Whitney exchanged a knowing glance. They didn't get the chance to warn Rebecca about telling Eric the truth."Well..."Rebecca was still thinking of what to say, when Ella chipped in."She said they got the wrong person. She wasn't the target, but

    She was taken aback by his request. Steal? She had never stolen anything and Axel knew that. But what could the thing be and why didn’t Axel send someone else? Many thoughts filled her mind as she waited for him to explain further. She wrapped her hands around her breasts, not because she was shy, but because she suddenly felt cold. She clenched her thighs tightly, trying so hard to surpress the urge to grab Axel and make him do the dirtiest stuff she had in mind. Axel didn’t speak, there was a deafening silence between them and she knew he wouldn’t say anything if she refused to speak first.“Steal what?” He moved closer to her. “I’ll tell you full details later, but for now….” He grabbed her neck roughly and a light gasped escaped her lips. “Let’s make you cum.” With his hand still on her neck, he pushed her to the wall and her back hit the wall roughly.“Shouldn’t we go to a room.” She asked beneath her breath. She was already feeling the tension.“Why would

    When she got outside, she let out a deep breath.“Fuck. That was tough.” She muttered. If it wasn’t for the signals Axel gave her, she wouldn’t had been able to handle the situation. She noticed the two guys outside bowed immediately she stepped out and she’s left with a question.How powerful was Michael Lucas before he died? He seemed to be feared and respected and despite being his daughter, she felt she didn’t know him well. The only side she knew was his jovial side, and his caring side. If only death didn’t take him from her. Her lips pressed as she recalled the day of the accident and she wished she died alongside her parents because life was too harsh on her. After one last glance at the men, she walked away. She was able to locate the swimming pool after wandering about the big compound. She sat by the pool side, took off her sandals and dipped her legs in the pool, feeling the coolness.Goosebumps of cold prickled her skin. It felt refreshing and when sh

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Standing up for herself

    Rebecca stepped out of the bathroom, her body dripping wet of water. Instead of wrapping her body with the towel, she wrapped her head with the only towel available. She was surprised to see Kira in the room, seated on the bed with a black dress and sandal beside her. The room was specially assigned to her by Axel to stay for the meantime. It was spacious and simple, just as she liked it. They weren’t irrelevant decors, just the lamp nn the bedside table and a small book shelf which was filled with books, then other necessary stuff. She liked reading and was sure Axel gave her this room on purpose.“You can’t be walking around naked.” Kira shrugged as Rebecca walked towards her.“Didn’t know someone was here.” Rebecca replied as she picked the gown from the bed.“Courtesy?” “Axel wants you to put it on.” Kira informed. She observed the dress for a while before moving her gaze to Kira. “It’s late for goodness sake, why should I put this on?” It was a long black sleeveless go

    She didn’t want to seem weak, she didn’t want him to see her tears. Quickly, she turned and headed for the door, but her steps halted when he spoke up.“There’s no lady.” She didn’t know whether to continue or stay back. She wiped her tears and slowly turned. “I’m not dumb, Axel. Don’t try to cover up.”“I’m not covering up.” His voice was low. He took slow strode towards her and when he got to her front, he grabbed her wrist, his fingers stroking the butterfly tattoo.“When I first saw this, I was excited because it means you do not hate me as you claim…” He looked up and found her staring at him with confusion displayed in her brown eyes.“You have all the reason to hate me, Becca, you really do. But please…” he took a deep breath, a bit hesitant. “Do not hate me for long.” Rebecca was too confused to speak. She didn’t know what to say or how to react. Indeed she hated him for what he did, but for some days now she had been seeing him differently, even after persuading

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Is this… Jealousy?

    Rebecca stood dumbstruck, confused on what to do. She stared at the lifeless body of the driver, then back at Axel’s retreating figure. From his behavior, she could tell he was angry. Who wouldn’t be? She had asked for this, but now she couldn’t face it. She was too soft to take someone’s life, and it would keep haunting her.“Axel!” She called as she ran after him. She was able to meet up with him when he walked into the house, and in order to stop him, she rushed to his front, blocking him.“Axel.”“What is it, Becca?” His tone was normal and she began to think she was overreacting, maybe Axel wasn’t angry after all. While his tone showed he wasn’t angry, his face said otherwise. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were squinted as he stared at her.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have…”“It’s cool, Becca.” His gaze softened. “What happened today made me realize I haven’t been thinking right.”“What do you mean?” Her brows raised questioningly. He licked his lips and her eyes ave

    It was late at night and Rebecca was seen taking a walk around the compound. The bright light around made it easier for her to find her way. Her steps halted when she spotted someone standing a few distance from her. She couldn’t see the face of the person because his back was turned against her. She could tell it wasn’t Axel, because he was taller than that. Curiously, she walked to where the guy stood, and when the guy noticed a presence, he turned. Seeing it was Rebecca, he bowed shortly. Rebecca’s brows raised slightly as she wondered the reason for his gesture. “Hi.” The guy was familiar, he was one of the men that came to Eric’s hideout with Axel.“Do you need me to help you with anything?” He asked politely.“No… I mean yes.”“What can I help you with?”“Why can’t Eric be killed?” She asked the question that had been bothering her. She was sure Axel had the chance to kill him, but he didn’t. And Eric’s confidence increased her curiosity.“I and the others do n
