Quite far from the Scotland capital, Edinburgh city, in the wooded hills of Scotland lies the Scott Royal family mansion. The Scott family is the most known family in Scotland. For more than 500 years they have been known to everyone. But since they are devils, they took a part of the people's memory so that they can work smoothly.
Mark Scott returned to Scotland from the Netherlands after 4 years. Actually he was assigned the work to catch two devils which escaped hell and were creating nuisance in the city. The task took him 4 years to complete.
Mark stepped from the black car, gaping at the large stone crafted mansion that set beyond the sidewalks. The cream coating of the paint shined under the chilled Sun rays. The green patches and the trees surround the mansion thus enhancing the beauty of the mansion several fold. The windows had royal purple curtains hanging on the other side of them, drawn so that the sunlight could stream through.
As he stepped onto the sidewalk, his green eyes fell on the marble fountain on the right side of the mansion. A stone figure was holding a flower perched on top, looking up towards the sky. Water was spurting from its other hand. The water fell gently towards the crystal blue pool beneath it, causing ripples to form and wave out until they were no more.
Bushes trimmed into the perfect shape. The gardener there was watering the plants, gave a warm smile seeing Mark and slightly bowed his head in respect. Mark did the same with a smile and then walked towards the extravagant house when the butler Xavier came there and greeted him.
"Where's everyone?," asked Mark with a gentle voice.
"They are waiting for you in the living hall. Please, come this way," said Xavier and the two walked inside the large white door. As he walked in, his cousin sister, Sarah put her hands on his eyes from behind.
"Sarah." Called Mark with his soft voice and turned. He hugged her and caressed her head. "My little sister must've missed me a lot." Mark said humbly. Xavier smiled seeing them. Releasing the hug they both went towards the living room where everyone was waiting for them.
As they entered, Mark saw his family smiling at him. His mother, Elizabeth was beside his father Lucius. His two uncles Ronald and Jasper were with their wives Hannah and Taylor on the respective seats. Turning his gazes he found his elder brothers, Marcus and David were also there along with their two sisters, Katie and Emma.
He walked towards them when his mother came forward and embraced him into a tight hug. Kissing at his forehead Elizabeth said, "we all missed you."
"Same mom, I missed you all." Murmured Mark and they released each other. He then greeted his father and uncles. After that his brothers hugged him, followed by two sisters.
"Come sit here," said Lucius gesturing beside him. Mark nodded and sat there. They all started talking when the servants came there with food. They put the trays on the table and left from there.
Mark picked the juice glass first and drank it slowly. After drinking he spoke. "Where are my other brothers?" Mark inquired looking at Ronald and Jasper.
"They are in England for some work. They'll be here after 2 days for the great charity event," stated Ronald.
"I see. The Charity event will gather a huge crowd here like the other times," murmured Mark.
"We've called only three media channels this time. Tomorrow they will come to set the cameras here," stated Ronald. Mark nodded hearing him.
"You kids should talk now. We've to go somewhere for work," said Ronald and got up from his seat. Jasper and Lucius too got up. The three brothers then left from there. Elizabeth told them to have snacks too. Hannah and Taylor went away saying the meeting is going to be held soon.
Sarah quickly sat beside Mark and started eating. "So, how did you spend your days there?," asked Marcus. Mark smiled hearing his question.
"He must've gone to the long drives all alone, which he usually does," muttered Emma with a smile. David laughed hearing her.
"Your girlfriend was going crazy here. She was saying that you must've found someone as you didn't call her for a week," murmured David and laughed. Katie too laughed hearing him.
"Well, she soon will be your fiance so show some care towards her," said Marcus.
"What should I do? You all know my nature. I don't like to do any special things. She's a friend so she should understand me," murmured Mark and laid his head back on the sofa's crotch.
"Then refuse for your engagement," advised Emma.
"I can't. She will be hurt," murmured Mark. Sarah was just listening to their talks while eating. "Well, you're too good. I've rarely seen a person like you. You will spend your life with her rather than refusing her. Interesting," said Katie with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Well, I'm going to my room to take some rest." Mark said and got up from the couch.
"Hmm. You should take a rest. We are also going for work," said Marcus with a serious tone. Mark nodded and walked upstairs to his room.

Lily reached her workplace, The 360° News. It's the news channel where she always wanted to work as her ideal, Samuel Blaire has been working there for the last 10 years.
She looked at the building of the news station raising her head above. The entire building is made of shiny transparent glass with a big rotating door at the entrance. She looked at her reflection in the glass of the building. She has worn a black professional business suit. Her golden hair was hanging slightly above her waist.
"Okay, Lily Evan let's go in and rock the world," murmured Lily and stepped towards the door when a black Mercedes Benz stopped in front of the door. All the employees stepped aside as the man came out of the car. Lily went ahead to look and it was her ideal, Samuel Blaire.
A broad smile carved on her lips. He greeted them and walked in along with his manager.
"Woah!!! On the first day of my job I encountered my ideal means something good will happen with me soon," thought Lily in her mind and giggled. She walked in and went to the 5th floor where she was assigned the work of assisting a reporter in reporting.
As she entered there, she saw hundreds of reporters are there working on different things. All are busy in their work, some are giving reports, some preparing for the coverage etc etc. She walked towards her desk and found she's one of the assisting reporters in the team of thirty with one editor-in-chief.
"Hello, I'm John Argus. You're Lily Evan, right?" Inquired John.
"Yeah, hello. I'm Lily Evan."
"Great to see you Lily. Please come with me. We were waiting for you only," stated John. Lily apologized to him for making them wait long. She put her bag there on the chair and walked away with him.
"Actually Lily, many of our team reporters are busy reporting in the south town city. We three I mean you, I and Bella are going to work on a special report." John explained to Lily when they got inside a cabinet.
Lily found her boss, Ryan Neil there. She greeted him and introduced herself to them. Bella Stacy also introduced herself to Lily.
"Oh Lily!! It's good to see you. Well, let me tell you something good. This time our team is being tasked with reporting in the Scott mansion which is situated on wooded hills. The big charity event is after two days and our news channel is among the three news channels which will do reporting from there.
The technical team will come in a few minutes. We will go there tomorrow to check the other things. Please be cautious as it's one of the reputed royal families of Scotland. Don't do anything which will affect us in any way." Explained the editor-in-chief, Ryan.
Lily, Bella and John then came out of the cabinet. "So, we won't do reporting?," asked Lily.
"We are rookie. John and I joined a week ago. At least three months they will see our progress then only we can do reporting," muttered Bella.
"So we are more like assistants to them," murmured Lily.
"True," said John and they walked towards their desk.
"Do you know about the charity event?," asked John from Lily.
"Yeah, I've watched it several times on the TV. The Scott Family which every year do this to help many destitutes and other helping organizations. But the other family members are hardly shown on the TV," said Lily and sat on the chair.
"Hmm. They don't like to be covered by media every now and then. Royals are usually like this," muttered Bella.
"Okay okay, Let's back to the work. We have to make the reports on the upcoming news," murmured John. Lily and Bella nodded;, turned to their desktops to work on the reports.
Seth came back in the lunch hours along with Jonas, Cho Yang and Jack. He's the senior reporter of Lily's team. "Ahh, a newbie has come. Lily Evan, right?" Seth asked in confirmation."Yeah, good afternoon sir. I'm happy that I'll get to learn under this efficient team." Lily greeted him and introduced herself with the others. "Let's go for lunch. We are really hungry after the early morning reporting," muttered Seth. They a
Lily in the morning woke up and realized that the entire night she was in the van sleeping with her colleagues as they had to do early morning reporting. At 8 a.m. the other team of reporters came there and they were told to go to their homes.
Lily gained consciousness in the late evening when she found she was on something soft. She gradually opened her eyes and saw the dim lights. The interior of the room was magnificent, and felt like a royal place. The walls are painted in royal purple colour. "Woah!! Such a nice dream I'm having. This room is bigger than my house's living room,", murmured Lily and again closed her eyes."I wish I could really have such a nice
Lily with her reporting team reached Scott Mansion. Elizabeth saw her and asked her if she's fine to which she replied a yes. Elizabeth told her if she would feel unwell then she had to come in. Lily thanked her for the concern she was showing and started working with her colleagues."Scotts like you I guess," murmured Bella.
Lily's brother Max has come home on the weekend and was watching the direct live show which his sister requested him to see. He was drinking the cold drink when he saw that Lily was walking towards the stage."What happened to her? Why is she walking on the stage?," murmured Max while keeping his gaze fixed on the screen. Max sipped the cold drink when Lily confessed to Mark her feelings. He threw up hearing that and started
Mark was sitting in front of his uncles and father in the study room on a chair. Ronald was searching something in a book while Jasper and Lucius were looking at their older brother in concern."What happened? At least tell me..," said Mark in a low and soft voice.
Max was disturbed seeing his sister crying. He kept caressing her back but she didn't stop."Hey, it's okay now. You are crying for a person who doesn't even know you," said Max.
Lily left in the early morning for her workplace as she had to give explanation to the yesterday incident that happened in Scott mansion. As she reached the office she encountered Seth."Lily, pray that they won't fire you. Mark Scott is here and no one knows what's going to happen," said Seth in a worried tone.
Lily and Mark were now in the living room of Lily's house. Lily called out for her mother and father. Mark looked around when he saw a maid had come there. She greeted Lily and looked at Mark thus, greeted him too. "Where are mom and dad?" Lily asked. "I am calling them. They are in their bedroom," Rosie replied. Lily nodded and told Mar to get comfortable on the couch. “Let your parents come first,” Mark stated as he put Lily’s handbag on the couch there. Lily’s parents came downstairs from the spiral stairs in a while and were surprised to see Mark. Victoria and Daniel then peered at each other. “Hello, Sir- Maám! It has been a long time,” Mark said politely. Daniel and Victoria were still in s
Mark and Lily went to the Scott mansion. As they went inside the gates, Xavier, the house butler saw them. He could not believe his eyes that Young Mark Scott had returned. He hastened his steps towards them and greeted Mark. “Master, welcome to the home. I am so happy to see you,” Xavier said. He could not stop himself and hugged Mark tightly. Mark smiled and hugged him back. “Sorry for returning so late,” Mark stated. They pulled away from each other. Xavier greeted Lily Evan and told them to come with him. As they reached the hall, Xavier called for everyone. Elizabeth, mother of Mark without wasting any second arrived there. Tears started flowing from her eyes when Mark embraced her. “Mom,” he softly said. Elizabeth hugged him tightly. The other family members had also arrived there. They were shocked and at the same time delighted to see Mark. After hugging everyone, Mark took a seat on the couch beside Lily. Mark’s father, Lucius had also turned
Mark could be seen in an unknown world of creatures where one could see all kinds of mythical beasts. As soon as he landed with Zamien in the Underworld, he was thrown far away from him.In the Underworld, no one knew how the time passed. There was no light because of all kind of evil souls that resided her. Hell was the punishment house for those souls but after that they were sent here, thus, stopping their every escape point.Mark was checking his surroundings but all he could see was the darkness around him. He did not even know what was lying in front of him. He sat on the ground there as he was tired.“Wait for me, Lily. I will come back,” Mark muttered and brought his knees closer to him. With each passing second, his body was feeling weak as if he would die. Yes, that’s what it felt like to live in the Underworld.You could not disappear and you have to suffer all the tortures in that darkness. A place which was unk
Mark pulled Lily closer after hearing her response. “Thank you for coming in my life and loving me to this extent,” Mark whispered before pulling her into a kiss.Both missed each other’s presence for give years and now the two had united. Their kisses turned hungry as Lily was pinned to the wall. Mark was nibbling Lily’s lips when she let a moan out. With the other hand, Mark removed Lily’s overcoat. Lily’s hands were also on Mark’s hair, fingers playing with them.Mark carried Lily up and took her to the bedroom which was already decorated with yellow and red dim lights. “When did you do this?” Lily asked.“As soon as I landed here,” Mark replied and gently placed Lily on the mattress. Her body pressed down on it, showing how fluffy it was. Mark hovered over Lily, keeping his balance on his elbows. He again kissed her while his other hand started opening the button on Lily’s shirt.“Are you ready, Lily or do you need more time?” Mark asked as he pulled away
Five years later:Time passes soon but some memories are still with you- good and bad both. Same thing happened with me. I have finally achieved my dream of being a news anchor of 9 pm show. My parents, my brother and my friends are proud of me. They daily watch my show which gives me immense pleasure.Whenever I watch at this main desk my heart pounds. The dream is still alive in me but there is one thing which I still miss. He promised me that will stay with me till the eternity but he left me in the middle.With each passing second, my love for him gets stronger. My father sent me on many blind dates but none grabbed my interest the way he grabbed.Eyes are the most beautiful part of a human body. It tells you everything. Same thing happened with me when he saved me and looked with those green pair of eyes at me. My world stopped at that distance, the time stopped and my heart beat too.My only first and only love ended up lik
“Mark,” Lily called out his name before getting unconscious.“Forgive me, Lily but this is the best I can do for you. I do not want you to put in any trouble that’s why I am doing all this. I know I made a quick plan but this all for us. Killing Zamien is important to save the people close to me,” Mark thought in his mind as he was fighting with Zamien.Damien was also aiding him but the power of dark magic was much more than them. The magic used by Zamien was not only hitting their energy points but also extracting the energy from them.Mark had used a forbidden spell by which the extracting of power was not going at a mass level. Zamien realized that he indeed underestimated Mark’s power.“That day you were easily defeated by me then what is happening today?” Zamien wondered.Damien looked at Mark who was thinking of using the spell which will send Zamien to the underworld but there was a risk with
Lucian and Mark were conversing with each other when the doorbell rang. Lucian went to the door while Mark seated on the couch there. Two minutes later, Lucian came to the Living room with Damien.“Have a seat,” Mark told Damien who nodded and got seated on the sofa.Lucian sat on the sofa and looked at Damien. “Zamien is roaming freely for a long time and the level of his power was much more than we all can expect. If he had showed himself then it much be because of a reason. There is no need to play with him because I am going to converse with him face to face,” Damien suggested.“He might harm you,” Mark worriedly said.“He will not. King Oliver has sent a message for him so, I will just pass the message to him and come back,” stated Damien.“Take us with you. You do not how badly he injured Mark. So, we shall not take any kind of risk. Mark told me how he defies the rules made for Devils so it is better to be cautious than be regretful later,”
Lily’s eyes fell on Mark who was peering at her. She took out her phone and messaged him. Mark took out his phone from the pocket and checked Lily’s message. “Meet me in the café right outside my office,” Mark read and a smile appeared on his lips.He started walking along with Lily, both were not talking with each other. Mark slowly moved towards Lily and grabbed her hand. Lily suppressed his smile and whispered, “People will see us.”“No one can see me except you,” Mark asserted and they soon entered the café when Mark made himself visible but at the right time he cut the electricity so that CCTV could not record him. They took a table near the left end of the café which was isolated from the others.Lily ordered two iced Americanos for them and then came to the table. Mark thanked her as he took the Americano from her.“So, is your work completed?” Lily queried him.“Hmm.”“Why have you pulled up your face? Are you again having some problem aga
120 years ago:A man could be seen on his knees and had lowered his head. King Oliver was pacing in the hall and then furiously looked at the man. “How dare you ask for forgiveness? Do you take me as a fool?” King Oliver shouted at the man who was none other than his son, Zamien.“Father, I know I made a mistake but I am not getting why are you so adamant about this rule? We are Devils who are fed on human blood and flesh. I do not think there is anything wrong with that. Just because of a petty agreement with the Angels you are giving me such a huge punishment?” Zamien complained to his father.Oliver could not believe how his son could talk like that. Did he not know that feeding on humans is bad. He was the ruler of the Devils who
