CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL The revelation
Rebecca stared at Eric who was fast asleep. Not too long ago, they had dinner together and he slept off, claiming he was tired. He promised to tell her what she needed to hear tomorrow morning, but that didn’t stop her from being curious. Gently, she picked her phone from the bedside table and stood from the bed. She tiptoed to the door and opened it as carefully as she could. She avoided being seen by anyone and rushed downstairs. When she got to the gate, she met the security man there.“Can you please open the gate?” She maintained composure while asking. She didn’t want to make it obvious that she was about to sneak out. The security man moved his eyes from her head to her toe, observing her outfit and it was weird that she wanted to go out despite having a pajamas on. “It’s late, ma’am.” Rebecca’s brows furrowed. “My friend is outside waiting. Open the fucking gate for her to drive in.” She raised her voice a bit, her tone filled with authority, giving him no chance t

What did he mean by that? If Eric wasn’t in love with her, then why on earth did he marry her? She turned to Axel, her face filled with confusion. She would believe other things about her husband, but saying he wasn’t in love with her? That was too extreme. Eric had done a lot to prove his love for her. Even before they started dating, he was helping her in different ways. He supported her in medical school till she graduated. He got an apartment for her, and was there for her emotionally, physically and financially. No, she wouldn’t believe what she just heard. It might be that Axel was trying to paint Eric bad in front of her. She wouldn’t fall for it.“Listen, Axel. I confronted you because I still have little trust in you. Don’t shatter it with this stunt you’re trying to pull.” Her little warning didn’t do anything, instead, it stopped Axel from giving her more information.“Suit yourself.” Axel walked out of the room, leaving her lost in thought. She knew Axel so we

The hug was gentle, a soft offering of comfort.She felt warm as soon as his arms wrapped around her body. She felt all her problems disappeared, and the warmth feeling made her feel she was in a world of her own.The hug was like a safe haven, she felt safe and peaceful. The butterflies in her stomach giggled as she breathed in a familiar cologne coming from him.It was a beautiful feeling, and she didn’t want him to pull away.But all of a sudden, she pulled away from the hug, regret washing over her. If someone was to comfort her, then it shouldn’t be the person who caused half of her pains.“Don’t think we’re cool,” She said, earning a short nod from him. “I know,”She turned her face to the other direction, trying to distract herself from his piercing gaze.“I feel sleepy,” She mumbled. “You shouldn’t sleep yet. There’s something I’d like to show you.” Axel insisted.Slowly, she turned to him with furrowed brows, “What is it?”Though she was staring directly at him, she made su

Rebecca slowly opened her eyes and the first thing it came in contact with was the ceiling which looked so far from her sight, and it made her to wonder how a ceiling could be so high. She was used to waking up with the ceiling not too far from her sight, because her bed was high. She tried to get up and that was when realization suddenly dawned on her. She didn’t sleep on the bed, she slept on the floor. Her eyes squinted, as she tried to recall how she ended up sleeping on the floor. Last night, after Axel left the room, she cried a lot and ended up falling asleep on the floor. If it was the Axel she used to know, he would check on her and carry her to the bed, but none of all that happened. She was sure he didn’t even come back to the room after he left. She waved the thoughts off. She didn’t want to cry again that morning, she badly wanted to go home. Maybe coming here was a bad idea after all. It would have been better if she was patient with Eric and allow him answer
Last Updated : 2025-02-16CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL A message from Kira
As the car drove close to the house, Rebecca’s tension increased, she was nervous. Kira didn’t explain what Eric was told to her, so she didn’t know what she should expect. The car finally stopped outside the house and she stepped out of it. The driver didn’t drive away, and she wanted to ask why, but she let it be. It was the least of her problems. She stood outside the gate, and didn’t bother to call the security man, cause she knew he would be watching the CCTV, that was his job. Few minutes later, the gate went opened, and she walked in, her arms wrapped around each other.“Ma’am, are you okay?” The security man asked, but she didn’t reply. She headed straight to the room she shared with Eric and when she opened the door, he rushed to her immediately.“Baby!” He pulled her into a tight hug. She wrapped her hands around him and began sobbing, “I’m sorry,” She apologized, with tears rushing down her cheeks. After some seconds, they both disengaged from the hug.“Were yo

In a big popular restaurant in Miami, Rebecca and Ella could be seen seated close to the window, with two glasses of cold mango juice on the table. While Ella had a calm look on, Rebecca looked worried. It had been thirty minutes since they arrived at the restaurant, and it was their second juice order, but Kira was nowhere to be found. She didn’t want to think Kira had something else planned. She switched on her phone screen to check the time and she sighed in frustration when she saw it was now more than thirty minutes since she had been waiting. She stared at Ella and noticed the smile on her face, and it was obviously because of the person chatting with her at that moment. Rebecca chuckled silently and moved her gaze around the restaurant, not searching for anything in particular. The restaurant was filled up with people, and it was mostly couples having lunch, maybe a lunch date. Speaking of a date, she recalled it had been long since Eric took her to one. Before they
Last Updated : 2025-02-16CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Eric’s secret
Eric stood in front of a big white mansion, with different thoughts running through his mind. His hands were dipped in his pants pockets and he was leaning on his black Mercedes Benz.After a moment of reflection, he walked closer to the big gate and placed his thumb on the scanner. The blue light enveloped his hand and a beeping sound was heard. The gate opened immediately and he came face to face with four men pointing guns at him, but they lowered their gun when they saw it was him, and their head bowed uniformly. He ignored their gesture and strode into the building, where he saw different luxurious cars parked at the garage. His steps halted and his gaze remained fixed on the blue Lamborghini which stood out amongst the cars parked there. This was the first time he was seeing the car ever since he had been coming to this place. After feeding his eyes, he shrugged his shoulders and continued his walk, leading him to a big hallway where he came across a guy and lady

EARLIER THAT DAY* After returning from the meet up with Kira, Rebecca and Ella spent the whole time talking about the money. Ella was pained Rebecca didn’t collect the money. A million dollars was something she would never reject for anything. She did all she could to persuade her, but all to no avail. They were both seated in the living room, and while Rebecca was engrossed with the TV, Ella kept on thinking about the money, and how it would change her life.“If you don’t need the money, then you can give it to me.” Ella couldn’t keep it in, she had to speak up. Rebecca spared her a state. “No, I won’t accept the money.”“It’s your loss if you don’t accept it. Ever since you started living with Eric, has he ever given you up to a million dollars?” Ella asked. Rebecca thought for a while before shaking her head. “No, but he got me a Mercedes Benz after our honeymoon.” Ella scoffed, “Your car isn’t even half the money.” When Rebecca didn’t speak further, she continued.

CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Not a tool
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
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Too soft
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
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Kira’s loyalty
Subconsciously, Rebecca dragged Axel, but it was too late. She was only fortunate the bullet hit Axel’s shoulder, instead of his back. Her late drag helped a bit, by saving Axel from being shot in a vital place.“Axel!” She screamed as blood rushed out of his left shoulder. Axel’s shoulders slumped, he held his bleeding shoulder with his right hand as he slowly turned.“Son of a bitch.” He muttered under his breath and the next thing he heard was a gun shot. The man who shot him was shot in the stomach and within the blink of an eye, he was on the floor gasping for breath. “In your next life, do not act out of emotions.” When Axel heard Kira’s voice, he knew she was the one that shot the guy, and he couldn’t help but to be proud.“You’re bleeding a lot!” Rebecca panicked. “Someone call 911.”“It’s not that deep. We have to go home, I’ll get treated at home.” Axel spoke softly.“Not that deep?” Rebecca was annoyed. She was a doctor and she knew that too much bleeding wasn’t
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL The enemy’s crib
Rebecca was a bit confused. “Our savior? Who?” She questioned curiously.“Axel.” Kira replied, her smile broadened. Rebecca’s confusion doubled. Eric had gotten rid of all the CCTV footages and there was no way Axel would know they were taken by him. And how was he able to find the address? It was questioning. If it was true the person who rode the car outside was Axel, how did Kira know? And why wasn’t she also confused?“There’s something you aren’t telling me, right?” Kira kissed her teeth. “Maybe, but now it’s not the right time. Get ready to leave this shit hole.” She shrugged her shoulders and stood alongside with Kira. A gunshot was heard and she flinched immediately. She exchanged looks with Kira, “What if…”“Not Axel.” Kira replied calmly. She was awed by the fact that Kira had so much faith in Axel. Another gunshot was heard, then another one, and another.“Why aren’t you bothered!” She flared up when she noticed Kira didn’t look stressed about the w
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL A spy
As kira ran down the hall way, she kept looking back to see if the men chasing after her were closer, and when she noticed there was a huge distance between them, she rushed into the room at the end of the hallway only to find one of the masked men there. Regardless of his presence, she locked the door and turned to him.“Who are you?” He asked, pointing his gun at her. Kira dropped her gun on the floor and raised her two hands up. “I don’t mean no harm.” She said, as she slowly approached him.“Where is the lady?” He questioned.“You mean Rebecca? Your boss has her already.” Kira replied, she was almost close to him. When she heard footsteps ascending, she knew the men chasing her were close. She moved her gaze to the laptop at the bedside table and calculated how many steps she had to take just to get there. A loud bang was heard outside and she knew her mission was almost impossible.“You can’t escape!” The thick voices of the men were heard.“Come on doll, you’ve been cau
