Roy drove Brianna to a private hospital in the city centre and accompanied her to see the psychiatrist. "Is she trustworthy?" Roy felt uncomfortable about letting a new doctor treat Satan. He was most afraid of the fact that the doctor might leak the personal information of Satan. "We can go back if you choose not to trust me." Brianna halted her steps and shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "No, that's not what I mean, Madam. You are well aware of Satan's identity; if the news of him being ill gets leaked, Imperial Inc will be in trouble." Roy tried to explain the severity of the matter to her. "Call me Brianna." Brianna ignored Roy and walked inside the lift with a sneer.She has had enough of all the suffering, and it was time for her to show the world what a woman was capable of.
Hey Readers! Before starting this chapter let me introduce you to the new characters.Rose- Brianna's friend and her identity is mysteriousRobert- Mystery manTeris Calascione- Satan's fatherTristian Calascione- Selen'es dad and Satan's uncleEmma- Satan's mother***********************Brianna greeted the secretary and walked into the office with Roy tailing behind her. "Bri! Finally, I got to see you after so many years."A slim figure lounged at Brianna from behind the door. Brianna stumbled a little but soon steadied her body and hugged her long-lost friend tightly. "Yeah, I am glad we met." Brianna let go of the figure and looked at the face, which she had not seen for ages. Behind them, Roy frowned after seeing the figure. She was so similar to Satan but he dared not to speculate things. Of course, if Roy could notice, Brianna can also notice the similarities, but she hid her thoughts."Mom always talks about you. After completing high school I lost contact with you which I
Brianna watched as Roy explained everything to Rose with hesitation. He wasn't sure if he had done the right thing."Would it be troublesome for you to bring him here?" Rose turned her head to Brianna and asked. "I guess. He won't agree to visit the hospital." Brianna bit her lips as she said that. She was unaware of Satan's illness and thought he was a lunatic. But she was angrier at Selene, who did not inform her about such an important matter."Ok. No worries! Leave your address here, and I'll start the therapy tomorrow." Rose assured Brianna with a bright smile."Thanks, Rose." Brianna went forward and hugged Rose."You owe me this favour." Rose patted Brianna's back with a sly smile, which did not go unnoticed by Roy's eyes. The black lines on his forehead deepened. Roy secretly decided to investigate this doctor after returning to the company.When Brianna and Roy returned home, Satan was wide awake. His bloodshot eyes bore holes inside the two people standing before his eyes."
Satan massaged his head and groaned in annoyance. The physical torment drained all his energy. "Roy, bring the car. I have to go somewhere." Satan commanded as he walked upstairs to get rid of the stinking smell of sweat. "But Satan, you can't leave the house right now. If you did, you would not be able to regain your energy." Roy caught up to Satan and did his best to persuade him. Satan completely ignored Roy and walked into the bathroom for a shower while Roy paced back and forth in worry. He wanted to call Brianna and ask her to plead with her, but with the thought of another war breaking out, Roy dropped the idea. After spending 30 minutes, Satan opened the bathroom door and stepped into the closet. It was rare for Satan to choose a navy blue suit to wear. Roy's eyes almost popped out when he the navy blue suit on Satan. Working for years for Satan had helped Roy to gain his composure quickly. Someone was doomed for sure. Roy lit an imaginary candle in his brain for the pers
Satan left home with Roy under the scrutinized gaze of Brianna. At first, she intended to stop Satan from leaving but seeing his fresh look, she was sure that he had recovered from his earlier trauma. If he was a good husband, she might have stopped him from leaving the house empty stomach. Too bad he was not.In the car, Roy briefed Satan about their underground deals."Dwarf is seeking trouble. We sold him the goods, but he seemed to be demanding more at a cheaper price." Roy frowned as he remembered his meeting with Dwarf which did not go pleasant."Doe he have something on us?" Satan furiously typed on his laptop as he inquired Roy."No, our men have cleaned up their left remnants. Dwarf could not hold anything against us." Roy was sure. They had never done business which cause them loss. "Then arrange a meeting with him. I want to see how good he is at threatening the king." Satan smirked as he thought of the fleshy little human with a devilish face. His beastly nature mamakesim
A black BMW parked near the dense forest. People shudder at the thought of this forest. It was said that whoever dares to take a step inside that forest disappears mysteriously. The eerie sounds of insects mixed with cold blowing winds added a gothic view. The sounds were heard as the laughter of witches residing in the middle of the forest. It was weird that the people felt attracted to it, as if the dark hole between the woods was playing a lullaby, hypnotizing people to walk towards it. The door of the BMW opened, and two slender legs one after another stepped on the rough grounds. Satan took in a deep breath with a smug smile on his face. He seemed to be someone who belong to that forest. Roy looked at the dark forest with a twitched expression and the thought of stepping inside the forest made him shrink involuntarily. Every time he visits this place, he could not sleep for a week. "Satan, why are you suddenly visiting this forest?" Roy wiped his imaginary sweat. There were no m
The tall, lanky figure leads Satan and Roy to a secret, small building, which was located deep in the forest. Roy could not help but stick closer to the lanky figure, as his poor self could not bear to walk behind them and feel the presence of otherworldly creatures behind him. Satan snarled at the looks of Roy. He wondered why he had appointed such a weak man as his right-hand man back then. “Black, is there any news for east?” Satan looked around in satisfaction. This forest was his property and had beastly animals residing in it. Most importantly, the mercenaries living there were by no means any simple mercenaries, and the people who disappeared were thrown into the dungeon. “Yes, Master. They have set the ship for the west, and by the end of this week, we will receive it without anyone noticing it.” Blake roamed his dark vampire-like eyes around the trees before reporting it to Satan.“Roy, have you dealt with the armed forces?” Satan cast a cold glance at Roy- it would be appr
Calascione Mansion Brianna swung her legs with her eyes glued to the main door. She thought Satan was going to the company, but a few minutes ago, his bodyguard delivered a stack of documents saying Satan's signature was urgently required. This left Brianna in a dilemma. Her thoughts wandered around, making it impossible for Brianna to concentrate on other work. Maybe he had women outside to quench his thirst. She walked to the oval mirror in the corridor and traced her fingers on the purplish-green bruises on her neck. Brianna dug her nails deep into the bruise, refreshing the wound. Dark blood dripped down her neck, and patches by patches dropped on the white marble floor forming a small pool of blood. "You want this, Satan. I only had a good face, and now you have destroyed it. Marriage? It was a beautiful dream, which now has turned into a nightmare. Satan, you are my worst nightmare." Brianna imprinted her trembling hand on Satan's picture, leaving a bloody mark on the frame.
Emma stood on the balcony with a serene smile on her slightly wrinkled face. The man beside her handed her a cup of warm coffee."Thanks, Emma. If not for you, I would have been dead by now." Fiasca stood beside Emma as both reminisced. "Don't thank me, Fiasca. You are a good man. That's why God helped you." Emma shook her head slightly."You always have your way with words." Fiasca laughed out loud."I am a businesswoman, after all." Emma shrugged her shoulder's as if it was nothing."Yeah, the iron lady." Fiasca grumbled in disdain. ****************Short poetry for my lovely readers:It is an ancient Mariner,And he stoppeth one of three.'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide,And I am next of kin;The guests are met, the feast is set:May'st hear the merry din.'He holds him with his skinny hand,'There was a ship,' quoth he.'Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!'Eftsoons his hand dropt he.He holds h
Satan remained in coma for two days. When he opened his eyes, he saw the figure of a petite woman laying beside him. In the darkness his eyes took in the appearance of the woman. Satan slowly darted his eyes towards her belly. With great difficulty, he moved his hand and rubbed it on her stomach. The little woman squirmed under his soft touch and slowly opened her eyes.Brianna's amber eyes met his deep forest eyes. She distanced her body from his and left the bed."I'll call the doctor." Brianna did not dare to look into his eyes."Brianna?" Just as she took a step forward, Satan called out to her. "I am sorry. I know it's too late for me to realize my mistakes, but I am sorry for what I have done to you and our first child. I won't force you to forgive me but please don't leave me. I will change my personality and try to become a good husband and father, so please don't abundant me." This was the first time Satan had begged someone. Brianna too was at a lost."We will see it." This
The news of Satan's accident was kept confidential. Except for a few close people, no one was aware of it. Robert, who was far away in Singapore received the news with a heavy heart. He looked over at Brianna who was talking to her baby with a small smile on her face. Over the past month, other than having nightmares, she was fine. Her body had returned to its original plump shape. Robert did not know how she will perceive the news of Satan's accident. "What are you staring at?" Brianna felt someone's eyes on her and could not help looking up to see who it was. "Brianna, you might have to return to Florida." Robert sighed deeply. There was no other way. She was still Satan's wife and her presence were necessary. "Why? Did Satan threaten you with Rose?" Brianna frowned as she thought of this possibility. "It is because of Satan, but this time he didn't threaten anyone. Brianna, Satan was involved in a deathly accident and right now he is in the operating room. No one knows if he
After hearing Emma's story, Satan staggered out of the house. His body trembled with emotions."Satan." Roy panicked at the sight of him. His face was pale, and sweat was dripping from his forehead. "Move!"Satan snatched the car keys and pushed Roy aside. He entered the car before slamming the door and driving at high speed."Roy, where is brother?" Rose and Emma walked out of the house while catching their breaths. "He left in a hurry. Ms Rose, Satan doesn't seem to be in good condition." Roy frowned as his eyes swept past Emma. It must be something related to his mother. Roy concluded in his heart. "Give him some time. He will be fine." Rose patted Emma's shoulder and wiped the tears from her cheeks."Hmm." Emma nodded, but her heart ached even more for her son. On the other hand, Satan drove at a maximum speed. His mind was a mess, and he did not know where he was going. All he knew was that he wanted to eliminate the suffocating feeling. He felt a hand squeezing his heart. "
In the Calascione Villa, Satan walked to the glass room where he had forced Brianna and assaulted her to no end. Maybe it was the last straw which he broke with his cruel actions."Brother, what are you thinking?" Rose walked from behind with a curious look on her face."Nothing. Let's go." Satan forced a smile and walked past her. Although he didn't say it, Rose understood he was starting to feel guilty. Other than the emotion of revenge and hatred, Satan was oblivious to many beautiful feelings. In the past month, he had changed a lot, and those changes were for the better. It wasn't easy for Rose to see her brother suffering every day. She had spent her days in the house and abandoned her clinic because she wanted Satan to return to his original self - a gentleman."Reeve, we are getting late." Rose heard the distinct yelling of Satan and hurried towards the car. Rose was afraid and excited because it was the day Satan would meet Emma and get the answers to all his silent questio
In a villa in the centre of Julong East, Singapore, Brianna slowly opened her hazed eyes. Her throat felt parched, and her cracked lips hurt a little. She remembered leaving Florida for good. Robert had accompanied her in his private jet, and there she fell asleep. After that, she remembered nothing. "Goodness! Ma'am, you are finally awake. I should inform sir." The housekeeper gleefully ran out of the room. Brianna looked at the middle-aged woman in bewilderment. She tried to lift her body, but there was no strength. She wondered how many hours she had slept. Her amber eyes then turned to the IV drips connected to her hands, and her eyes widened. "Ms Brianna, glad to know you are awake after a month of sleep" Robert did not enter the room. Instead, he leaned on the doorway frame. "A month?" Brianna gasped in horror. Her brain worked faster and concluded that she might be sick or an incurable disease had occurred to her. As if reading her mind, Robert chuckled. He walked to the
It was the second day after Brianna disappeared, but Satan's men failed to track her hideouts. Robert was one of the top researchers and good at removing traces of his tracks. Satan growled as he ran his fingers through the locks of his silky hair. "Master! A woman is here- the same doctor. She is here on Robert's behaviour." Blake scrunched his nose in annoyance when he thought about the sly smirk on the young lady's face."Bring her in." Satan sat with crossed legs on the couch of the living room. His dishevelled appearance did not make him look ugly but added to his sinister charm. "Good morning, Mr Calascione." Rose walked in with her fox-like grin. When her eyes took in Satan's appearance, a light flashed past her blue eyes."Did Robert send you here for therapy?" Satan did not open his eyes. His ears perked at her voice. It was as if he was too familiar with this voice. "Yes, Robert sends me, and no, not for therapy. He wants me to take you to where your mother is." Rose blin
Time ticked quickly, but there wasn't a single news of Brianna. The more time passed, the more Satan started to lose his rationality. His shaky hands crumbled the burnt cigarette in his hands. Red veins covered his eyes like that of Dracula. Anyone could sense that he was on the brink of losing his sanity. "Roy, how is the progress going?" Satan tapped his shaky fingers on his muscular thigh. He was chilling, causing everyone to freeze. "We have recovered the footage. Here!" Roy frowned upon seeing what had occurred. How did that man enter the house without being noticed by any of the bodyguards? If Brianna had gone with him, it would be impossible for them to find her until Robert wanted them to.The around them turned heavier. Satan's subordinates, along with Roy, did not dare to breathe loudly. They were terrified for their lives. Satan watched as Brianna sneaked out of the house and entered the glass room, from where a young man led her to the secret door in the parking lot. He
Humans are greedy and selfish. They love to play with others' life and grasp their life and death in their palms. They become so obsessed with their lunacy that they forget about God's existence. The same was the thing with Satan. He was raised to be a man with high potential and the mindset of setting things according to his will. But now that the person he was holding in his possession had eloped under the nose of his men, Satan lost his rationality."Satan, someone hacked into the system, and we could not find the footage. I've asked Hedger to retrieve the data. He will soon recover it." Roy's anxious voice rang from the earpiece."I want her in my house at any cost." Satan gritted his teeth with pure hatred. He married her and provided her with all the luxuries of this world, yet she dared to leave him - she had fooled him- making him wedlock. If word spreads, he would be the centre of humiliation and mockery. A joke to everyone. He will be left alone in the darkness just like Ter
