A man wearing a three-piece black suit got out of the private plane, followed by his right-hand man. “Clear my schedule for today. I’m visiting the hideout for a surprise inspection.” The right-hand man nodded at his instruction, contacting the people who had appointments with the CEO while he guided them to the car waiting beside the plane.

Ethan Reed, CEO of the top Luxury Car Company in the world, Elite Motors. Aside from selling top-of-the-line, unique cars, he also established a foundation for the victims of physical and sexual abuse, which he called Savior’s Foundation. Because of this institution, he received multiple awards, such as the Novel Awardee of this generation, the Most Successful CEO in the country and around the world, the Most Influential Young Bachelor, and the Most Powerful Young Man in the country. Even the President of the country bows to him. 

Aside from all that, Ethan is a gorgeous man and has an angelic face. He has the perfect build, fair skin, tall, perfect jawline, long pointed nose, and thin almond eyes that captivate women’s hearts. All over the country, women seek him out and throw themselves at him whenever they get the chance. But in his 30 years of existence, not a single woman has captured his attention.

What they didn’t know was behind his angelic face and being the so-called Savior-of-the-country, he has a hidden character.

Ethan is the most powerful Lord of all Mafias. They have branded him as ‘The Devil-Reaper.’ Known as the ruthless, merciless, and cold-hearted king who is a threat to everyone who wants to mess with him. He tortures people, kills them to seek justice, and even the government couldn’t do anything about it. To cover his identity Ethan usually wears a mask whenever he goes to their hideout. Only a few of them know his real identity as the CEO and the Mafia Lord, and they were Willard, his driver, and Austin Morris, his best friend, and right-hand man.

They were on their way to the hideout, located in a remote area miles away from the city proper. From around the bend in the road, Willard saw a figure in a white dress crossing the dark, unlit highway. 

“Master, Austin, I see a young lady up ahead, and I think she needs help.” Austin looked at Ethan sitting at the back, asking for his approval on whether or not they should help her. Before he could answer, Willard frantically honks the horn and steps on the brake so hard they all get catapulted from their seats, reminding them they were lucky to be wearing their seatbelts.

“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Ethan ground his teeth.

“My apologies, Master. I didn’t mean to step on the breaks… It’s just that the young lady crossed the street and just stood there. I didn’t want to hit her.” Willard explained. Ethan released a long, deep sigh out of frustration.

“Are you sure you didn’t hit her? Where is she now?” Austin asked while looking out the windshield.

Ethan frowned. He instructed Austin to check on the young lady. 

“Ethan, she fainted. What will we do with her?” Austin asked, worry clear on his face. “There’s something here. She looked like she’s been abused.”

Ethan got out of the car. He tucked his gun behind him, looked around for potential threats, and checked on the young lady. He frowned when he saw her face was swollen and had bloodstains on the side of her lips. Somebody had definitely beaten her up. Aside from her face, most of her white dress was torn, and her feet looked bloody and muddy at the same time. ‘It looks like someone tried to rape her.’ He thought.

“Let’s go back to the Villa.” He instructed. Austin stooped down to carry the unconscious lady, but Ethan stopped him.

“Don’t touch her. Let me do it. Just open the door.” Austin nodded.

He easily lifted the lady in his arms, like she was made of thin air, and laid her gently beside him in the backseat of his car. 

Inside the vehicle, while they were on their way to the villa, Austin and Willard couldn’t help but sneak peeks in the rear-view mirror, wondering about Ethan’s behavior. How could a well-known billionaire and the king of all Mafia care for a lady… a stranger? They looked at each other for a second, and the same thoughts ran through their mind. ‘She caught the Devil’s attention.’

Ethan did not notice any of this happening as he stared at the face of the wounded young lady. She was filthy, but underneath the grime and the dirt, he could see she was lovely, and there was something about her that attracted him, and to which he had no explanation. Maybe he pitied her and didn’t want to see her get abused? Who knows, all he could think about was he wanted to care for her. He couldn’t help but grit his teeth. ‘Whoever laid their hand on you will surely face the Devil.’ He thought as his fists clenched.

The servants were lined up at the entrance to the villa as customary, waiting to receive the homeowner and help with anything, but Ethan didn’t see the need to ask anyone to help carry the young lady inside. Instead, he carried her protectively close to his body, hiding her face, leaving the servants in confusion. They wondered who the lady was but didn’t bother to ask for fear of getting fired.

Ethan stopped at the bottom of the staircase. He then turns around and orders Austin. “Austin, go find a female doctor and send her to my room. Ask the court maid to prepare the room next to mine. Buy new clothes for our visitors and tell our designer to get here, fast.” 

Austin bows his head then as a sign of respect. “Roger that,” He said, then excused himself to make a phone call.

Ethan laid her gently on his bed and threw a blanket over her. The young lady winced as he tried to caress her face.

“Don’t, please… no,” Alexa kept on squirming and begging while she was asleep. ‘She’s having a bad dream.’ Ethan could just imagine what happened to her, and it made him want to kill the person who harmed her.

Ethan caressed the young lady’s hair carefully this time and whispered sweet nothings while she slept. His other hand was holding hers to reassure her. “Hush now... you are safe. Don’t worry… You are with me.” The young lady calmed down, her knitted brows eased from their wrinkle, but she didn’t relax her grip, and kept on holding onto him.

An hour and a half later, Ethan heard a knock on his door. It was Austin, with a doctor following behind him.

“Master, the doctor is here.”

Ethan instructed the doctor to check her thoroughly and implied that she could not leave until he knew everything that had happened to her.

The doctor asked for two maids to help clean up and change the clothes of the unknown young lady while she examined her. Ethan assigned Ina and Maxime to the doctor’s care before excusing himself to give them privacy.

The doctor asked the maids to call Ethan when she finished examining the unconscious lady. “I gave the patient a mild sedative to help her heal. She has several broken ribs, her face will be swollen for a while, her nose was slightly bent but not broken, there were scars on her foot, I assume from walking a long distance. Some old scars on her back have long healed, not to mention she is malnourished and dehydrated. I left an IV to replenish her fluids. She’s safe from danger, but she still needs to go to the hospital for an X-ray as soon as she wakes up.” Ethan nodded.

“Was she… violated?”

“Not that I know of. I don’t have the tools to check her here, but if you send her to the hospital, we can verify the results. Or you can just ask her.”

The doctor left a long list of prescriptions for the young lady with instructions on how to administer them, and Ethan instructed Willard to buy them right away. 

It took 5 days before the young lady finally woke up. And in those days, Ethan kept vigil the whole time, leaving the house only for the most important meetings, and when he was gone, Ina and Maxime were there to tend to her.

“Who are you?”

  • My Savior is a Devil   Chapter 4

    Alexa woke up with a heavy feeling, her whole body was in pain. And when she opened her eyes… She saw an unfamiliar environment.‘Where am I? What’s this place?’She turned her head to the source of light. The room had big picturesque windows that covered the portion of the room from floor to ceiling, showing her a panoramic view of the gardens outside. The room was decorated with a warm brown theme where the sheets covering her were cream-colored, and the duvet was chocolate brown, like a vanilla sundae. It made her hungry. When her eyes veered to the left, she got frightened and pulled the blankets closer to shield her. A man was sleeping in a chair alongside her, holding her left hand. She immediately pulled the hand he was holding, and this awakened him.‘Stop! Don’t be frightened.’ He called in a soothing voice.Trembling, Alexa hugged her knees and crawled towards the corner of the bed, ignorin

    It has been two weeks since Alexa woke up. All her wounds and scrapes were healing gradually under the care of doctor Ethan assigned to her. From the minute she stepped into the door, Ethan had never left her side. He didn’t leave for the office just to make sure she was alright, and he could give her what she needed. And whenever she went to the hospital, he was there to accompany her. On the days he couldn’t be there, Ina and Maxime waited on her hand and foot.Alexa got used to their routine, so when Ethan failed to come home for 3 consecutive days, she wondered what he was up to. Every time the door of her room opened, she got excited in anticipation, expecting it to be Ethan, but each time, it was someone else.Her shoulders hunched in disappointment when it was Ina and Maxime who entered.“Good evening, Young Lady,” Maxime greeted her with a smile plastered on her face. She placed Alexa’s food on the bedside table.Ina

    As soon as Ethan arrived, he went straight to Alexa’s room, expecting her to be awake. But when he came in, Alexa was already sleeping. She was curled in a fetal position, kicking the blankets off earlier, so now she was shaking. Her brows knitted, and sweat dotted her forehead. ‘Is she having a bad dream again?’ Ethan wondered. He pulled the blanket over Alexa’s body and caressed her hair. Alexa’s body eased up, her knitted brows and body relaxed. Each time Ethan visits her at night, he notices Alexa tossing in her dreams. For some unexplained reason, his heart clenches whenever he witnesses her struggling from her nightmares. He looked at Alexa one last time before he walked out of her room and into his. Their rooms were side so he could easily hear her at night. He was there to change his clothes and wait for Austin’s arrival. After two hours, Austin had finally arrived. “Tell me what you found?” Ethan commanded without looking at th

    “Do you happen to know him?” He asked again. Alexa nodded. “Yes, he is Max Willies, my father’s business partner. I always see him come to our house to talk about their business. My dad told me that he owed him an enormous debt, so he wanted me to marry that old guy in exchange. I did not agree, but he forced me by shoving me at the back of his car, with my hands and feet tied up and my eyes blindfolded.” Alexa sobbed as she told Ethan her sad tale. “He brought me to this creepy place and said that if I marry Max, I will have the freedom that I wanted. Then he left me alone in that abandoned house, tied up to the post to wait for Max. As soon as he arrived, the harassment started.” She became furious. Ethan could see her eyes were full of anger. “I was ready to give up hope, let him get what he wants, and just kill myself after.” Gritting her teeth, she clutched the lower part of her dress as she remembered how Max kissed her. Alexa couldn’t help but resent M

    That night, after he ended the call with Austin, Ethan went to the wine bar and opened a bottle of whiskey, not bothering with a glass, he drank straight from the bottle.‘Damn that bastard, is he trying to annoy me? Well, I’m pissed now.’He thought as he drank again. ‘I was controlling myself here… And why is that Alexa taunting my mind? Damn…’Remembering Alexa’s innocent face while kneeling between his thighs had him aroused again. “Damn it. Cool down, boy… Cool down.” He rubbed his member, willing it to soften, but it had the opposite effect. Never in his life had he felt this kind of affection towards other women. Though sometimes he bought women to give him pleasure, none of them made a lasting memory. They were always forgettable, there to satisfy his needs and nothing more. But with Alexa, she just had to be in the same room, and his cock saluted her presenc

    “What the hell are you doing here, Ina?!” Ethan’s voice thundered inside his room.He woke up with a nasty headache not remembering what happened last night. And as soon as he got up he realized, that there was a naked woman sleeping in his bed.‘What the fuck, Ethan? What the hell happened last night?’ He lifted the sheets and saw he was naked too. ‘Fuck! I drank too much!’ He frowned in confusion, trying to remember what had happened last night.“Out! Get out of my room!” He stood up and pointed his finger at the door, not minding that he was fully naked. He walked towards his closet and got a new pair of clothes.“But master I can’t stand up. My legs are still sore. You were so rough last night.,” Ina wept, pretending something happened between them last night.“I said out!” He yelled while he dragged Ina out of bed. “You

    “Pleasure me, and I will help you.” Alexa’s mouth was agape as she tried to understand what Ethan said. ‘What does he mean… Pleasure him? How will I do that? Will I be his servant? I guess that’s okay?!?’ Her innocent mind deduced she would be part of the household staff.“Follow me!” Ethan said a little too abruptly as he walked to the villa. There was a sense of urgency in his pace, and Alexa had to scramble to keep up due to his long strides.“Sit!” He commanded as they entered his office, then handed her the folder containing Max’s information. Alexa frowned.“What is this?”“See for yourself.” Alexa opened the folder, and it contained all of Max’s information. From his legal businesses down to his illegal doings: drug deals, human trafficking, and illegal firearm sales. Ethan had everything listed, and she was surprised&helli

    Alexa had cleaned up as directed. She stayed in the bathroom when she finished her bath, hesitant to come out. The clothing she was supposed to wear came in the form of a thin black lace nightgown that though it reached to her thighs, looked like it didn’t cover anything. This made her feel uneasy. She knew that by the time she got out of the room, there would be no turning back. ‘You should embrace your fate, Alexa. I know it’s hard but you will get through this.’She told herself while wiping the tears away. She tugged here and there trying to cover her exposed skin, but it was impossible… So she covered herself with Ethan’s bathrobe. Alexa trod lightly when she got out, except for one lamp on the bedside table, all the lights were off. The lamp gave the atmosphere an eerie vibe, and it made her tremble and knees weak. “What took you so long?” Alexa stood frozen when she heard Ethan’s cold voice. Shivers ran up and down her spine. He was sitting

    Everyone is busy preparing for the big event. It’s just a simple gathering, where they invited only the closest family members.They set the beach for the most awaited day. The wedding is finally happening. There were Chiavari chairs on both sides of the aisle, lined with pink roses placed on tall vases, requested specifically by the bride. In the center, curtains framed the altar pulled over to both sides to give the illusion that one was looking out a window into the pristine beach beyond.The guests wore pastel colors as the theme for the event. Albert and Austin wore a champagne-colored suit with white long-sleeves, while Maxime wore a halter turquoise-colored infinity dress and her son, Lucas, was wearing a suit that matched his father’s outfit.Maxime and Austin would stand as the best man and maid of honor, while their son Lucas would be the ring bearer. For their preparation, Ethan occupied the house they bought from the Scotts, while Athena checked in the hotel nearby. They

    Athena’s Point of ViewI thought that… I would never feel the love and freedom that I longed for. I never thought this day would come. When I was young, all I had were the books my mom brought me to learn how to read and write. I remembered the moment I asked her… why I couldn’t live like a normal child… couldn’t do normal things like going to school, making friends with other kids, playing with them on the playground, and going to the mall? She just answered that Dad wanted to protect us from the people outside who wanted nothing to do but hurt us. And I believed in what she said.Even though I felt like I was in a cage, and I even saw Andrew hurt my mom… I felt horrified. And when mom died, he became more terrifying. He locked me inside our house. He didn’t even allow me to go to the garden… much less roam around the house. Instead, he locked me in my room. I could only sneak out when he was not there. But my luck vanished when he found out about my escapades and killed my closest

    It was a late night. Athena and Ethan just finished preparing for bed. They had fun, enjoying their festive dinner with their families inside their compound and talking about the wedding that was about to happen. It was the wedding they’d all been waiting for. After their dinner, they invited everyone to stay over. Albert, Austin, and his family were happy to stay for the night just to be with Athena, whom they missed the most.“Hey, aren’t you getting sleepy? Wear this, or you might get cold.” Ethan placed a shawl on her shoulders, which Athena gladly received. He hugged her from behind while staring at the stars in the sky. They were both standing on the balcony of their room, appreciating the beauty of the night. They had the full moon giving light to their surroundings and the sound of the icy wind that touched the leaves of the trees, making the trees dance to the rhythm of their natural music.Athena shook her head. “I can’t sleep,” she said, which made Ethan frown.“Why?

    “What if I leave the underground world? Will you be happy and choose to stay with me?” Athena turned her head and looked at Ethan while slowly walking towards her, reaching for her hand.“I love you so much, Athena. And if you want me to quit the Mafia, I’ll do it for you. I will never hesitate to leave my organization if that will make you feel safe and happy. I will do it because I can’t live without you. So, please… please be with me.” His eyes pleaded as he looked Athena directly in the eye. He was full of hope that Athena would come back to him. “But the Mafia is like a family to you. Are you really abandoning them? How can you say that? Besides, you are popular in the underground world. Everyone knows you are their king.” Athena stated.Ethan walked closer, making her step backward until he cornered her on the wall. “I have my second in command. He will stay and guide the Mafia. I know he won’t leave the troops.” Ethan reached for her hand and pinned it to the wall.“Now, I wil

    Ethan and Austin landed safely at the hotel they were checking in. Luckily, they had a helipad where he could land his chopper. Only both of them came without any troops as they knew the place was safe. Before Ethan and Austin came to the island, where Athena was hiding, Ethan called the couple, Marcia and Theodore, who saved her to inform them that they were coming to bring Athena back to the city. When they met, the couple was hesitant, because Athena asked them not to tell anyone she was hiding. But they also understood that her family was worried about her, so thecouple welcomed them and led the way to the resort.It was a private resort that only the people who owned properties were allowed to enter. From the highway, there was a narrow road that permitted one car to enter at a time. This area was hidden and surrounded by coconut trees. The entrance to their property had a bright red gate that was so huge you could not see what was inside. Plants and flowers dotted the path lea

    EthanEthan was drinking whiskey while sitting in the kitchen. He was about to drink his next glass when Austin appeared and took the drink from him.“It’s not the time to drink, Ethan.” He said sternly.“What do you want me to do, then? Athena is still missing, and I don’t have any idea where the fuck they brought my pregnant wife--” Ethan couldn't finish what he was about to say when Austin stopped him from talking.“She called,” Austin said.“What?”“Athena called. She said that she’s fine and safe.”“Where is she?” Ethan grabbed Austin’s collar and pulled him closer. “When did she call? Why didn’t you call me? What did she say?” Austin shook his head as he looked at Ethan in his drunken state.Austin knew how hard it was for Ethan to lose her, and even when he was badly injured, he never stopped worrying and looking for Athena. Every single day that she was missing, Austin witnessed how Ethan used his connections to find her. But now that Athena called them and said she didn’t wan

    AthenaAthena woke up hearing unfamiliar voices quarreling near her. When she opened her eyes, she immediately covered her body with the quilt, protecting her belly from the strangers in front of her. She looked at them and figured they were a couple whose ages ranged in their late 50s. Then she looked around and noticed that she was in an unfamiliar place. The house was made of wood, bamboo, and nipa leaves. It was a small and quaint house, but it was cozy. She was sitting in a bed that was very comfortable. It felt like her own bed at home. She looked at herself and noticed she was wearing different clothes.“Who are you? Where am I?” she asked.The lady’s eyes softened while looking at her pitifully. She shook her hand. “Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you. You are in our house because we found your unconscious body on the shore. At first, we thought you were dead, but thankfully, you were alive. So, we decided to bring you here to treat the wound on your head,” she explained.“How long

    Ina bit her lower lip as she looked at Ethan seductively. “Sure… Anything for you, my love.”“Master!” One of his men called out. He just came out of Max’s cell. “The subject is dead,” He added in a whisper. His voice was so low that only Ethan could hear him. Ina frowned in confusion. He nodded and said he should go ahead and would follow behind him. “I’ll be back,” Ethan said to Ina before leaving and going back to Max’s cell.Ina glared at the person who called at Ethan. ‘Tss... Damn this guy! What did he have to call Ethan for?! He just wasted my opportunity to escape from this stinky cell… I hope Ethan will come back,’ she thought.Ina waited patiently until she heard her cell door open again. It was Ethan and a bunch of his troops who entered. Ethan ordered them to remove the chain from Ina’s cell, making her smile victoriously.Then they laid down a case that was filled with various tools. Ina frowned. There were pliers, needles, small knives, scissors, a container with a whit

    “Give me good news. Have you found Athena?” Ethan asked the private investigator and his men about the progress of finding Athena.“Sir, we traced her using the tracking device you put on her engagement ring and found the location.” One of his men answered.“And where is it?” Ethan asked. The private investigator gave him the engagement ring.“We found it on the same island where they kept Athena, she must have dropped it. We’ve also searched the area and only saw these torn clothing.” The investigator gave him pieces of torn fragments they thought came from Athena’s gown.“We found this in the trash bin. According to the pattern, I think they chopped it on purpose.” One of his men said.“Maybe she was thrown to the sea–” The investigator was about to deliver his conclusion when a wine glass flew above his head. It was supposed to hit him, but luckily he had fast reflexes and bowed down just in time to evade the flying glass.“GET OUT OF MY OFFICE NOW!” Ethan’s voice roared, which mad
