The devil

She gasped as he shoved her against the wall painfully, his nails digging into her arms.

"Do you know how much I detest being lied to Selena? You thought you could kill me that easy?" He scoffed " people more skilled than you have tried" he roared In her face causing her to flinch in panic. He let go of her, taking a step back. He shoved his hands into his pocket as if to resist the urge to hit something, or her

"Hh-how d-did yo-you kno-know...."

He cut her off loudly" your eyes Selena!! You think I would not remember a rare feature about my enemy. You think you changed so much that I'll be stupid not to recognize you? I do have to give it to you, you have guts to even try and pull something like this".

She felt the anger rising in her chest, threatening to choke her at it's intensity. It was like a cloud of smoke coming up from all four corners and trapping her in the middle to inhale all the deathly fumes.

"How did you know I was going to poison you".

" I was keeping watch on you because I knew you were up to something that was guaranteed to get you into trouble. You crossed a line you shouldn't have".

She suddenly laughed as she felt her fears disappearing. Getting replaced with the anger that bubbled in her chest. " What are you going to do Andrei Markos? Are you going to kill me? For your information I have forty-nine percent of the company shares and do you know what's going to happen to it once am dead, it would go to charity. All the shares that you so gracefully signed over to me would be given to people who truly deserve it!" She fired at him and flinched as she saw his fist coming towards her but it only hit the wall beside her so loudly that she jumped.

He was breathing harshly, his eyes flashing as he thought of ways to punish her insolence. He took a deep breath, then he was suddenly calm like he had found the perfect solution.

"Well I guess I can't have you killed then but neither would I let you take away any part of my business Selena" he gritted out and she scoffed.

" A little too late for that don't you think. They are already mine".

He smirked suddenly. " Not for long Selena. There's this special clause in my company rules which say if I were to marry anyone who owned shares In my company then their shares become automatically mine, did you forget to read that all the while you worked here" he drawled out as Selena's eyes widened. She could grasp what he was getting at, even if it was ludicrous to consider.

"You must be out of your mind. I will never marry you in this world or the next" she fired hotly. The anger making her nauseous.

His grin got more demonic.

"It's not up to you anymore Selena Martinez, I always get what I want and as you might have noticed, I go the extra mile to get what I fucking want," he whispered darkly, hitting the wall beside her, causing her to cower in shock. She recovered from the fear, and held his gaze defiantly.

" You're signing your death warrant because I will never stop trying to kill you".

" I would love to see you try," he said, grabbing at her arms so harshly she was sure it would leave bruises. He dragged her out of the boardroom towards the party. The guest stared at him as he tugged her along with her struggling and screaming but no one intervened. He got to the parking lot, shoved her into the car and slammed the door shut. He was soon beside her at the steering wheel and then closed the door.

"Where the hell are you taking me" she screamed as he started the car, swerving sharply so suddenly that she banged her head on the window hard. She felt blood trickle down her head. He didn't acknowledge her but continued driving until he finally stopped at the church. He had made phone calls on their way there.

He dragged her out as he proceeded towards the church. She found herself standing there with him in front of a priest and marriage certificate on the alter.

"What..what are we doing here?" She asked dreadfully, her heart thumping wildly in her chest.

" We are getting married. You will never take my company from me, Selena. I can see stealing does run in the family after all. Like father like daughter right?" he said spitefully. Selena glared at him.

"Am not going to marry you!" She cried out, taking a step back. He grabbed her by the hair tightly, yanking her closer and whispering viciously in her ear.

"If you want your cousin and his parents dead then I dare you to say anything stupid and watch me bring your wish to life". He threatened darkly. Selena watched his eyes. They were dead serious.

She looked at him shuddering as the priest cleared his throat. She noticed the paparazzi rush In with their cameras.

The wedding ceremony soon commenced. She found herself saying yes I do to the man who killed her father. Signing a document that bound her to him forevermore.

It wasn't over! She swore that he would regret his decisions. She was going to ruin him. Even if it was the last thing she did.

"....I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride"

He finishes and Selena's head snaps up at his last words. Was he blind or stupid? Was he not aware of the situation she was in? Before she could react, Andrei suddenly grabbed her jaw, surprising her as he tilted her head up, then his mouth covered hers roughly. She was stunned in place, the kiss not fully registering until his mouth moved against hers. It was a kiss meant to punish. He bit at her lips hard that she was sure he drew blood. She tried to push him away but he was like stone. He devoured every corner of her lips until she felt like she was going to suffocate. When he finally let go, she was panting hard and trying to drag precious air into her lungs. Her lips were swollen and tingly.

Was this what it was like to be kissed by the devil?.

She doubted she could forget the effect of the kiss even if she wanted to. It was a warning. A warning she was ready to defy to get what she wanted.

Andrei Marko was the devil and she was going to put him through hell.
