Jule looked at the closed door- still trembling in fear. She thought Brianna was a simple and soft-hearted young girl, but man, no, she was utterly wrong. Brianna was like the mother lioness- ready to attack her enemies."Why are you standing here?" Jule jumped in fright when Satan's cold voice rang in her ears from behind. "Master! Madam wishes to be alone. So, I am standing here in case she needs something." Jule hung her head not to show the fear and nervousness in her eyes. "Is she still mourning for her dead child? Pathetic, weak woman!" Satan scoffed and pushed the door of the room, leaving behind a horrified Jule.'For her dead child? Oh my, Lord! What sin have I committed? If I had known Master did not care for the child, I would have never told him about Madam's health.' Jule covered her mouth with her palm- her old haggard eyes were wide open. Back in the room, Satan saw the mess and tsked with a perverted smile on his deadly lips. "Why are you throwing a useless tantrum
After his last encounter with Brianna, Satan did not return home for a week. Brianna was unaffected by his absence. She wants him never to return home. His presence brings back all her miseries and pain, and most importantly, the scene where he kicked her stomach replayed in her memories like a stucked tap. "Satan, this is an important meeting. You have already delayed it for days, and board members were asking for a reason. This is a billion deal. You can't just let it go like that." Roy tried his best to convince Satan to attend the meeting with the Executives of an international company. But Satan was nowhere to move. All his attention was on the screen of his laptop, from where he could see all the actions Brianna had. In the past week, not once did Brianna mention him. This thought alone made Satan restless, and due to this, he wasn't able to concentrate on his work. "She seems happy. What do you think?" Instead of answering Roy, Satan pointed at the screen with his chin and
Christopher walked into the kitchen while rubbing his palms from time and on. Selene saw the hesitation in his eyes and stopped chopping the vegetables. She wiped her hands and stepped closer to Christopher."Chris, you seem restless. Is everything fine on your side?" Selene rubbed Christopher's arm to comfort him."Mm, yeah! Everything's fine. Ah, Sele, something happened on Satan's side. Roy informed that Brianna had a miscarriage." Christopher had a guilty smile on his face."How? Brother should have told me earlier. Brianna needs me by her side. We must go there." Selene held her head in her palms and started to cause a ruckus."Roy didn't tell me the reason. As for going there- Satan won't let us. I tried to talk sense into him, but he refused to let us meet Brianna. He said she needs rest." Christopher gripped Selene's shoulder in an attempt to stop her from moving.
Selene was stumped with the information. Her chest heaped up and down with anger. She was now sure Brianna had given her a signal that day, and she foolishly ignored it."I am not a worthy friend. I have let her suffer alone." Selene curled up on the cold floor and sobbed."You are a worthy friend, Sele. Don't blame yourself. We have to stand by Brianna's side not to cry and add to her problems." Christopher hugged Selene and kept on kissing her forehead."Chris, you- you are not on Satan's side. Right? You said Satan is truly in love with Brianna but look what he has done to my friend." Selene pushed Christopher with accusations in her eyes."I am not. I swear, Sele. I will never be on his side, silly. Brianna is like a sister to me, and I know how important she is to you. If I had known earlier, I would never allow her to marry Satan." Christopher pulled Selene into his arms. It was not easy to gain the trust of Selene, and because of Satan's mistake, he could not bear to allow Sele
Satan sat on his office chair, deep in thought. Roy wanted to say something but was afraid to disturb Satan. "Say what you want to say." Surprising him, Satan turned his focus to Roy. Satan supported his chin with the back of his hand and raised his brows, indicating Roy to spit out the words. "Satan, it's time for you to stop being stubborn and see a psychiatrist. You are well aware of your disorder. It has ruined you." Roy had been with Satan for years and know him well. Roy was the one who accompanied Satan to his psychiatrist, but the disorder had such a powerful impact that Satan stopped seeing the doctor, and after that, his condition worsened. "I can't stop myself. Whenever I try to hold back, he manipulates my thoughts and mind. He controls all my actions and emotions." Satan covered his face and leaned back on the chair. He too was tired of having different personalities. "Satan, I think there is one person who can help you. I've been with you for years and can't bear to
Brianna was happy after not facing Satan for more than a week. She wished these days never to end, but her happiness didn't last long. On the fourth day of the second week, Brianna woke up and found out from Jule that Satan had returned home. The slight smile on Brianna's face disappeared."Why is he back?" Brianna frowned, and her voice turned cold. She was not ready to face him. "Madam, this is Mister's house, and he has the right to return home." Jule humbly reminded Brianna. She wanted to say a few more words on behalf of Satan but was instantly shut by Brianna's fierce gaze. "Scram before I lose my temper on you." Brianna clenched her fists, and her body trembled uncontrollably. The surge of killing Satan was like a tornado inside Brianna. Down the stairs, Jule stood in the corner with her head low. She was ashamed and fearful. "Why isn't she here?" Satan closed his eyes as he rested on the sofa. The dark circles around his eyes showed his worn-out state. "Mister, Madam is n
Brianna was shocked when she heard the commotion downstairs. Afraid something had happened, Brianna rushed downstairs. When Brianna saw the mess in the living room and Satan clutching his head with blood-dripping hands, she froze on her spot. This was not something she thought of."You are you, and you cannot control me. Leave me!" Satan's body trembled as he yelled. It seemed as if he was in great struggle and pain. "Wha... it is happening?" Brianna stammered as she stood on the staircase. She was afraid of going near him. He had caused her enough harm, and she couldn't bear more blows."Please help me!" Satan extended his bloody hand. His eyes were blood red. Brianna had never seen Satan like this. The usual coldness and cunning look in his eyes were long gone, and his eyes were pleading with her to grab his hand and pull him out of the abyss. Satan's eyes were screaming with misery and loneliness."No!" Brianna thought it was his other tactic to deceive her and backed out."Please!
No matter how much Satan pleaded with her, Brianna stood in a corner without moving. She wanted to help him out of her love for humanity, but the oppression Satan had done her, did not allow her to take steps towards him. She wanted to stand there and watch him suffer like a bystander. "Satan!"Roy huffed and puffed as he rushed towards Satan. He was returning home when he received an SOS from Satan, and he understood something might happen to Satan. "So, you are also in this act?" Brianna folded her arms and coldly looked at Roy."This is not an act, Madam. Satan is trying his best to fight his personality disorder. Only you can help him. Please!" Roy shuddered under the cold gaze of Brianna. He spoke on behalf of Satan and tried to persuade Brianna."Fine! But I want him to sign a contract." Brianna coldly pointed her chin at Satan. Seeing him in a dire state did not ignite her sympathy for him.
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
