Author's POV He sighed kept his phone aside and pulled her closer to his chest. She rested her face in his neck and wrapped an arm around him. Rafael shifted in his place when a weird feeling travelled in his body. He closed his eyes and shook his head to focus on her. "Who hurt you? Tell me!" He caressed her cheek with his thumb. "Are you going to punish them?" She asked innocently. "Do you want me to?" He smirked. "I don't know..." She sighed. "I don't like when people get hurt but they always hurt me." She looked at him while resting on his chest. "Do you know what happened?" His jaw clenched in pain when he saw the pain in her eyes. He wrapped an arm around her as she started speaking. "My parents used to punish me instead of Aria... She used to make all the mistakes and I used to get all the punishment for it. One day my father locked me in the garage the whole night as a punishment and I was so scared... I cried loudly when I heard scary sounds from outside, ther

He ran towards her with his little hands but couldn't understand how to protect her. "Mom!... Please stop." He cried not understanding what was happening. He was about to touch her but a large hand wrapped around his around arm and pulled him back. "Don't touch her, she is getting punished..." He froze when he heard his father. "Look at her carefully, you little shit" His evil voice whispered to him. "This is the right way to give punishment... Take it as a lesson, the one who betray will meet the terrified end..." Little Rafael was completely in shock as the child inside him died when he saw his mother's scream dying down and the melted body hit the ground. That was his last stroke for him to give up on humanity and become the devil. He didn't cry after that. "Rules are rules... Whether it's the love of you

Author's POV Aurora saw him standing in front of the bed with crossed hands and smirk on his lips. He was in only trousers which told her that he had just woken up. She gulped and sat up, as soon as she moved her head felt heavy and throbbed with dizziness. She grabbed her head and hissed. She tried to recall what happened last night but she only remembered Katrina coming in front of her as a Catherine then she couldn't do anything about it and started drinking. The last thing she could recall was gulping down the alcohol in his car. She has no idea what she did after that or probably passed out and because of that she can't remember anything. "Hurting?" He asked. She looked at him and nodded. "Yes! What happened last night?" She gulped, praying that she didn't do anything to piss him off for which he will make her pay now. "Nothing, you just had fun last night" He chuckled. He grabbed the juice from the tray which Katrina brought and took a sip of it. When he was sure

Author's POV Aurora looked at her plate nervously. She tried to look away at the moonlight sky and down the balcony area where they were sitting but avoiding his gaze was impossible. Her body was on fire with his eyes on her and his smirking lips. She grabbed the Vine glass in front of her and took a gulp. "You are not allowed to drink more than one glass tonight..." He ordered and she quickly placed the glass down making his smirk wide. Her hands were shaking, not understanding why they are dining out in the five star restaurant. Their table is the best table in the restaurant and the view is worth all the time. The night could have been romantic if it wasn't for the devil sitting in front of her. "If I didn't know you better, I would have thought that you were cold" He mocked, noticing her tremble. "Why are we here?" She asked fiddling her fingers in her lap. "Dinner!" He replied while grabbing his glass of amber liquid. She opened her mouth to speak but closed ag

Author's POV Aurora gasped when Rafael slammed her against the wall and kissed her madly. She tried to get hold of something and finally found his shoulders. She could feel his muscles moving under his coat. She gulped but released a throaty moan when he bit on her neck and rubbed his hardness on her. The door was wide open and she was nervous that someone might come but Rafael didn't seem to give a single fuck. He sucked on her lips and looked at her as they both heavily panted. "Why do you drive me crazy every single time?" His hand slid under the slit of her dress, making her still against the wall. She yelped when he tore her panties and circled her clit. She bit her lips and clutched on his shoulders tightly. "Rafael!" She cried in pleasure when he rubbed the exact spot. "That's my girl, moan my name..." He praised. "Scream my name until you realise that there is nothing else but you and I..." She looked at the open door nervously when he released the knot of her

Author's POV Aurora was roaming in the hallways with Shadow, it's more like she was exploring the castle. "Why are you with me today?" She asked Shadow. "Aren't you going to tail behind your chosen human?" She mocked and Shadow ignored her. Aurora sighed and picked her up, held her up to her face level and looked into her eyes. Shadow stared back at her blankly. "Why do you choose him?... Why is every female crazy behind him except me?... Tell me!" She asked and Shadow hissed at her. "Looks like you are picking up his attitude too... Traitor!" She placed her down and huffed. Aurora stopped when she heard faint music and the sound of bells. She curiously followed the melodious sound. She forgot the count of hallways and pillars she passed to follow the sound. With each step, the sound got louder. She finally found the source and his behind the pillar. It was a girl, wearing white anarkali suit which was foreign to Aurora. She was dancing, her movements cut through the ai

I opened my eyes and looked at the man but instead Mariana was standing there with a gun pointing at me. "Are you crazy?" She lowered her gun and then I realised that she killed the man. "Why would you free the enemy?" I looked at her confused. "Enemy?" "Oh cut the crap... I already knew you were with Rafael for some motive... Who are you?" She frowned at me. "What are you saying?" I looked at her confused. She grabbed my arm and dragged me with her. I struggled as we led towards the living room. I looked up and Rafael was already descending the stairs. "Get your hands off her" He growled at Mariana. Mariana let me go and Rafael stood in front of me. "Ask her ___" His angry roar brought everyone to the living room.

Author's POV Aurora was crying continuously. She was sick to the stomach after remembering the man in the living room. She couldn't imagine herself in his place. Katrina rubbed her back trying to console her. "This is crazy... I can't do this" Aurora cried. "Aurora! Rafael will do something... He won't let this happen, I know!" She assured. Aurora broke the hug. "He just walked away... He didn't even try to stop her" She sobbed. "Because he can't say anything" Katrina sighed. "For years these rules are being followed and as a king Rafael has to follow them.. if he will break the rules then no one will respect him, people will think that he is weak and it's not good... He has responsibilities" Aurora looked at her in disbelief. "Punishing people brutally is what his responsibility is?" "No!" She shook her head. "People in our world are criminals, Aurora... They don't understand gentle things. They have to be treated like this, or else they won't listen or follo
