Devil's kin

Chapter 4

Bella's pov.

The sound of a gunshot reverberates through the room, and despite my terror, I muster all my strength to hide it.

Mat stands confidently in the centre of the room, a wicked smile dancing on his lips. "It's not quite the right moment to bring things to a close, Bella. I have plans that require you to stay alive... for now, at least," he announces.

My voice oozes with defiance as I respond, "Do whatever you want, but remember this: I won't let myself become a weapon against my father." Mat's eyes sweep over the room, his gaze fixating on his comrades. A mischievous grin forms before he starts moving towards me, stumbling like a drunkard. When he reaches me, he kneels down, pointing his gun.

"Look around, sweetheart, and grasp the reality of our predicament. You're just a pawn in this game. Don't try to be the fierce tiger; it won't end well for you. There are consequences you're not prepared to face right now. Relax and go with the flow. Now that you understand where you stand, you might find a way out of my trap," he concludes, and with that, he walks away, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

Then he turned around, "don't try anything stupid with me and if you do ... I have no reason to keep you alive then" he said before gesturing to one of his men besides him. The man also gestured to two other men and they started heading towards me, I tried to struggle out the bound and defend myself, the man smiled at me and said, "it's okay I am not here to arm you."

He sounds like an angel but what would an angel be doing at the side of Mat the devil himself, he must also be as funny as Mat. I mean how can Matt Demaneor and everything about him just change within hours. He is just as sweet as the honey a few hours ago and now he is the devil.

"I know what you are thinking. Believe me and you will be fine" the man said. "How am I supposed to?" I mumbled.

"I don't know" he said with a smile and then out of nowhere I felt something hit me from behind and everything went blank.

<<<< >>>

I opened up my eye, my terrible headache had returned, but much stronger than the last time. I looked around the room everything seems to have changed in the room and even with the painting on the wall. "Can this be another house? Am in transported to another place?" I asked myself.

Surely this is not the place I have been all this while, how can he just change things without my consent..., Oh yeah I am being abducted here. I tried to stand up from the bed but then I tripped on something; a bowl of warm water and it is then that I realised I have some water on me and a damp towel on me.

"Someone must have been trying to keep me alive" I said to myself and even to myself I sound irritated maybe due to the fact that I thought it was Mat's doing. I kicked the bucket and almost fell to the ground and then the door to my room flung open and a beauty maiden in her early life stage walked in with a bowl of ice cream.

As soon as she came into the room I grabbed the bucket on the floor and held it against her like a weapon, she looked at me and smiled, "hey you are awake." Then she stood there as if she was expecting a response from me.

Looking at her bowl of ice cream, she stretched out her hand and offered it to me, "you care for this?" I nodded sideways showing I don't although I wish I could have a taste of it.

"Uncle Mat must have terrified you that much," she said.

"Uncle Mat? Is she a sister to that devil?" I asked myself.

"I know right," she said as she smiles, "I have also been asking myself the same question: why do I keep calling him uncle in his absence but I never do when he is around. And I am not his sister" she said and then she started walking towards me.

I stepped back with terror written all over me, " am not here to harm but to help." She said,

I looked around me and then behind me there was nowhere to run to and indeed no one knew my whereabouts. I had no other option than to believe her not just because we are of the same gender but because she sounds sweet and she is also holding something delicious. I gave in and dropped the bowl, she smiles at this and then came at me.

Brought out a spoon and gave it to me to have a Taste of the chocolate ice cream. I looked at her, "it's not poisoned" she said. Fueled with her affirmation although am not sure she is on my side I dug into the bowl of the desert and started serving myself, soon my face was covered with trace and evidence that I am indeed a food monger.

"You are Bella right?I am Vito" she said and then she stretched out her hands to me. I looked at her and smiled then I continued digging into the bowl. "Nice meeting you too," she said.

I stopped as she said, "where am I?" I asked.

"So quick of you to notice you are in a different location" she said sarcastically. "For some reasons best known to him, Uncle Mat changed your location and brought you here instead." She explained.

Mat!, That name keeps sounding like the devils bear it. I looked away and walked to the centre of the room with the bowl on !y hand, I started taking a look around and then I felt like someone is at the door I looked like Vito and it seems she is also surprised that someone is at the door.

I walked towards the door and boom the door flung open, the bowl on my hand fell to the ground as I saw the figure before me.

The very renowned devil standing across me with his sweet enticing and deceiving smile, is no one other than Mat.

"Have got something for you Bella" he said
