Lexa’s POV
In a matter of a few days, I had grown attached to the Lot Mansion. As I was already a maid, I was allowed into the mansion.This time I wasn’t coming for work. I wanted to meet Elliot and apologize. I know I might be getting ahead of myself but that wouldn’t stop me from meeting him.Nothing would send me away from him. Not even if he screamed at me.I didn’t want anyone to spot me so I would pass the main entrance. I hissed when I found it locked.“F**k. How do I take care of this now?”“Stay still.”That a voice I could recognize. It was the bot again. I turned to it.“I need help with this door so can you perhaps…”“Stay still.”Stupid bot. I stood still as he scanned me.The door automatically opened. “Sir, has recently only included you on the list of uninvited allowance into the mansion.”I smirked. “Is that soLexa hoped he’d place his palms over her eyes to wow her but… that did too.She lost her breath to the amount of jewelry she set her eyes on. Words weren’t enough to describe the riches held in the room. The room looked so smaller from the outside but rather spacey from the inside.Bars of gold took up a third of the room. Chests of precious gems poured out and filled the floor like mounts of rocks.There was an arranged set of jewelry, each kept in transparent boxes that were lined in front of the gold and diamonds which were kept at the back of the room.Every piece of jewelry was much more expensive than everything Lexa owned, put all together.“Elliot.” Lexa said the first thing that came to her mind. “These are worth billions of dollars! Where did you get them from?”He placed his cold finger on her warm lips. She always wondered why his skin was always cold. It not like she mattered if she screamed since the room was soundproof.He just wanted to tea
“Come in!”Nora walked into my room with a tray. A bottle of gin and a glass cup were on it. “How was your day with Lexa, sir?”Nora knew me too well. That was the reason she was still there. “You could say it was… interesting.”“What do you think Lexa feels about you, sir?”I poured the gin into a cup and gulped it in a single swallow. “If she’s the girl I met 547 years ago, I’m sure she feels me.”“You’re method of persuading her is very unlike you, sir.”I took another gulp of gin. “Yes, you’re right but Alexa is very valuable to me. I don’t want to lose her again.” Lexa’s POVI managed to escape mum once but this necklace is not safe anywhere. We have a very small house so hiding something this sparkly is a challenge.I searched for the perfect hiding spot, also thinking of where I could conceal it. Keeping this was trouble but this was the least I could do for Elliot. He really did a lot for me.I wondered why he did these. When I asked
Alexa wouldn’t do something this stupid. She was smart and coordinated. It was someone else.“Turn around, Elliot.”I could tell what it was by the sound of that beautiful voice. “Wow. I never thought an angel would visit me. It’s an honor, really.”“I’m an Angel. A messenger of the Lord.”“I know who you are. Since angels have a good memory I’m sure you know we’ve met before. You’re Liam Javeline?”“And you are the devil.”My fists tightened. Lot wanted to come out and destroy him but I had to relax and hear him out first.“What do you want?”“We will take her soon.”“What do you mean?”Liam took a step forward, showing he wasn’t scared of the fumes of anger that was emitting from me. “She was sent to distract you from your mission. She is a product of us. We will take he
I dialed his number and waited for a reply. It was a fast response.“Wow.” Hearing wow from his mouth really annoyed me. “You can call me after you made friends with Liam.”“Excuse me? How is my friend making any problem for you?”“He’s my business rival. Don’t get to close to him or he’ll try to get to me through you.”“Liam isn’t like that. He’s a sweet guy.”There was a short laugh over the phone. “You hardly know him and you’ve figured that he’s sweet.”“Don’t get me wrong but… Never mind. I’ll call Liam instead.”“Wait! Wait!”I smiled. Good thing he couldn’t see me. “Why are you begging? You feel that Liam will get me before you do.”He laughed again but it was rather a pathetic laugh. “I’ve already gotten you.”
“It’s clear that I’ve already done that.”She looked up to him with her pretty watery emerald eyes. “When?”“Wasn’t I the one that made you clean my room? I forced Brit down your throat.”“So we’re even?”“If you say so.”She laughed. That laugh unclouded her brain and made her body temperature normal. Elliot picked her off the floor and cleaned her tears.“Don’t you ever wonder why I was ready to kill myself so I wouldn’t be with you?”He dressed her scattered hair. “Why?” he asked, giving eye contact.“My family was always a holy one. My father did his best to instill utmost holiness into us. I followed it but I didn’t know how my siblings could still harbor hatred for him. It was all a f*****d up sham. They did terrible things to me. Why do terrible things always happen to me?”&ldq
I got down from his bed and looked for him. I couldn’t find him anywhere. I faced the vintage wall clock and interpreted the time. It was seven minutes past seven. I wondered when he brought me here.He’s such a sneaky scoundrel. I glanced at what I wore. I was in a white nightdress. I panicked, was it Elliot who changed my clothes. I wouldn’t take it lightly with him.I might be his mate but I deserved respect too.I cooled my anger and searched for food. There was nothing edible in his room. It was frustrating.Someone knocked at the door. I ran towards it, hoping he was the one. I opened it but saw Nora instead. She smiled and entered the room.“Good morning, Miss Halton. How was your night?”I didn’t believe it. The same woman who was my senior some days ago became my maid today. This type of lifestyle was lavish. I loved it.“Once again, call me Lexa.” My mouth watered when my
He went to page 400 where Seareign’s story started.Some boring history of Seareign started it. Elliot skipped through the pages, looking for anything useful. He was a speedy reader. Lexa saw how fast his eyes moved along the lines of the sentences.Lexa’s eyes caught a page. It had the picture of a seawater gate. Elliot didn’t notice it and was about to flip away but she stopped him.She took the book and went a few pages back. “Look, this page is talking about Seareign’s gate.”Elliot smiled at Lexa before looking down to the pages.<The gate of Seareign is made of the molded tears of mermaids that lost their lives in the battle with the black Kraken. It took three mermalian years and it was sculptured by the best crafters of Seareign.The gate has no weaknesses. It forms a great unending barrier at the lengths that the gate does not reach.Any non-mermaid that touches t
***We were at the shore where our submarine was kept. Lexa was excited to see a submarine. She only saw ones on TV, thoughtless of entering her personal one.Lexa’s life slowly changed since Elliot entered it. Her life was boring and pathetic. She knew that something important was missing in her life from the day she entered High school. She always wondered why she was different, why she wasn’t like the rest.She knew why. She was never complete. Her mate wasn’t in her life then. She always knew that an important part of her was missing. She became complete the first day she met him.He was her miracle.Elliot talked to the man in charge of the submarine. Lexa stood beside them, waiting for the discussion to end.“Bring it to the shore. I want to impress her.”He winked at me. The man smiled and shook his hand before leaving.“Pray those eyes of yours won’t put you in troub
Hey guys, this is not a chapter so mind me naming this as chapter 46. I can't make this an additional note chapter because my editors will not accept it. So here I go.Goodnovel had a nice start and I'm still very connected to it and you, but I've decided to look elsewhere since it seems it's incompatible with me. I know I've been unfair to you guys but I've been quite unfair to myself as well.I went ahead and took the pain to publish on other sites. So far, I've tried it on eleven different sites. It's still under review for comtract, but from now, I will be only be posting chapters on those sites.It really hurts me because my best readers are here but what can I do. My editor is very unresponsive and they're not to giving me what I've worked so hard for. If you want to get the rest of Marked by the Devil, that's what I'm calling it on other sites, and also my new Pen Name is Beth Miller, not Evie Brooks.It has a new cover but the blurb is the same. You can find it on these listed
Dedication: Naquita H and Kamarley kê Lexa's POV Yes, I was staring at something in Wendy's house. But what was I staring at? Anyone curious would want to know. I could see Rica's room all the way from my room clearly. The door was closed but not locked, and I was sure that it had all the answers to my hundred and one questions. Wendy had been called at her office, she said it was a fashion emergency. According to her, a major French actress, I didn't know of, wanted a dress made for an award show she wanted to attend. And if that was true, then that was meant to be a big deal for them. Wendy was called to manage the celebrity's dress, since she was a top designer, and she didn't think twice before cutting her leave short and rushing to her office. Ana accompanied her because she wanted to make a report on it, or something like that. Rica had been out since yesterday. She said she went to meet with some old friends of her and the last I saw of her was her disappearing into
Hey guys, I just want to drop another 'clearing' chapter, I guess. I really appreciate these three people that have made my day this month, Mhiz Grace Pretty, Naquita H and Kamarley kê.And guys, how come none of you are leaving any reviews? Do you not like my book that much? Would you please leave something to cover that embarrassing review of me trying to promote my social media. 😂 So please, let others know how much you like Alexa and Elliot.Also, slow posting? Don't worry about that, it's just that a major national examination is commencing which can get me in college 😳 and it might delay in me posting but as I said before, you don't have to worry about it.Do you think the coins for each chapter of our book is too much? Let me explain something to you, I provide more words in a chapter and that means longer reading. Goodnovel expects me to make it 1.5k or something but as a reader myself, shorter chapters annoy me. Because I want more info in a go. I hope you understand what I
DEDICATION: I dedicate this chapter to 'Mhiz Grace Pretty' for dropping two gems on my book this month. You are amazing 😘 Elliot's POV The book was magnificent. Just as I imagined. Once I reached home I had already prepared myself to open it but I had to savour the moment of having the first magic book in the world. It was created by the first ever sorcerer, Gwydion the first. He had created this book of spells for the future generations of sorcerers but sorcerers and sorceresses got extinct ever since the plague. A wizard, Alizon, translated the book in such a way that any magic-possessing creature would be able to use the book effectively. The book was said to be lost after the first war of the Seven kingdoms. But it wasn't, Alizon hid it in Udhanba, one of the Seven kingdoms, in an abandoned temple and was killed right after that. At least, that was what the story said. Years after years the world become what it is and Udhanba, a great large kingdom got divided and the temple
Lexa's POVWe came out of the restaurant, in big smiles. He was smiling the most. I tried my best not to free or open myself with him but those two hours showed a different side of his.The better side I thought he never had.Liam was born and created an angel. He told me many tales about heaven that made even me want to go there.He said that Angels grew like children on earth. They were taught the ways and traditions, and their behaviours would determine what category of angels they would fall into.Fierce angels became warriors and guardians of heaven, ready to fight at every instance of their life. Super-curious angels with a detective instinct were given missions to do on earth that had to do with mystery.God did know everything but sometimes sin had to make him look away. Smart angels were sent to earth to uncover things or retrieve things, anything that was under the command of God, they also fixed things.Most angels became guardian angels for people, good or bad, but when th
Lexa’s POV In the entire world, he was the last person I was expecting to see. So many questions ran through my mind and I was wondering what he was doing here. It scared me to my spines that he was staring right at me. I looked away for just a second and looked back, to find him few steps closer to me. He was walking to me. I freaked out. He was the one that tried to return me to heaven but... he was also the one that freed me and let me go to Elliot. I didn’t believe that he was truly a bad person. He let me go, against his King's commands and to say, that meant a lot to me. During all my thoughts, he eventually reached me. My friends had noticed I was no more by their sides and turned to me, only to find me with a guy. As typical friends, they stayed back and watched what would happen. He smiled. “Hi…” He looked short of words and I was as well but not as much as him. “Liam, what are you doing in Paris? Here?” I didn’t mean to sound surprised but I was. “I’m here on…” He bit
Elliot's POV 'Dragon Tamers, that's a terrible game.' I hadn't said anything to Lot since the incident and I wasn't planning to do so anytime soon. I cursed Satan. Why would he pick Dragon Tamers?! It had been a long time since demons played Dragon Tamers. The game was deadly and bloody. I wished it was any other game picked. I knew the history of the game and the important details but still I was in the library, making more research on the book named 'Dragon Tamers'. The simple history of the Dragon Tamers. It was a game that was played by the early demons. These demons were the most vicious and terror setting creatures. The demons in this time were nothing compared to the early demons. The demons of nowadays just partied but when the early demons were released from the Pandora's Box and joined Lucifer, the world was a horrific place to be in. The Dragon Tamers was a game made by the demon kings in which the other demons played it as a form of entertainment to the King. Later
Lexa's POVWe had been served our dishes. I was thankful I chose what I chose because when I saw my food, my lost appetite returned.Drinks were served with our food and we started to dig into it."It's been a while , Lexa," she said, eating to her heart's desire.I smirked. "Just a few months... But you changed so much."She smiled. "That's what money can do."She fluttered her eyelashes and moved her food slightly away then gave me a sneaky smile. To say the truth, I was confused at the sudden change in her position. Her movements didn't give me an idea of what she wanted to do until she talked."How are you and Elliot?" Wendy's smile grew wider and my smile grew lower. Even though she talked more now, she was still observant as she always had been. She noticed my dull face. "What's wrong? Did-did something happen?" It was hard to stop the tears from coming out so I used my cold palms to cover my hot teary eyes. I took a deep breath and cleared them. "You had a fight? Is everything
DEDICATION: TO Kira Eyler. I am dedicating this chapter to a wonderful person for leaving a gem on our book. Thanks so much! Elliot's POV I was not patient but I could wait till the next day before visiting my kingdom. It had been a long time since I had seen it, but I remember it vividly. It was recently that I realised how much freedom I had given Andras on my throne. I chose him because I trusted him, but even the best demons can't be relied on. I felt like a fool. My love for Lexa had taken over me. I couldn't concentrate on my kingly duties. But I didn't regret falling for her. I would have my way and I would have both Alexa and my crown. I was picking out clothes when a knock announced itself on the door. I didn't want to answer it but it was the scent of the senior maid so I had to. "Enter!" She hesitated but entered my room. She came empty handed and not in her uniform, so it gave me the idea that she wasn't here to serve me gin or give me upda
