"Satan and Brianna had their lunch in silence. After what Satan said to Brianna, she felt vary of him and thought it would be better to keep her distance from him. But nothing can be changed. She was already trapped in the devil's trap.
"You did not answer me." Satan took a sip of merlot.
"Mr Satan, you are my boss, and I found it highly unprofessional to date my boss." Brianna kept a polite face, but her voice was stern.
"Before having employer and employee relations, you are my saviour." Satan chuckled. He didn't expect her to be this stubborn.
"I am sorry, I don't need any boyfriend." Brianna turned down his offer. She felt uncomfortable under his intense gaze.
"What about being friends? I hope this time you will consider my offer." Satan smiled faintly at her.
"I will consider it." Brianna then bowed her head. She ate her steak without making a single noise. The atmosphere turned incredibly awkward for her. Satan seemed
Roy and Satan were discussing further on the matter. They heard a soft knock on the door and turned their heads to see who the person was."I want to talk to Satan." Brianna said to Roy, who in return nodded his head in understanding and left the two."How are you feeling?" Brianna made herself comfortable on the chair beside the bed."You can see, I am all perfect." Satan laughed a little. His carefree laugh was like a spring breeze for Brianna."Thank you for saving my life." A lone tear escaped her big eyes."You were targeted because of me. As a man, I should take responsibility." Satan comforted Brianna. This little rabbit never fails to amuse him."Is your offer still valid?" Brianna fidgeted her fingers."Which one, first or second?" Satan raised his eyebrows at her."Of course, the second one. We can be friends, right?" Brianna rolled her eyes when she saw the smirk on his face."Let me think about it." Sat
Brianna opened her tired eyes when the first ray of the day fell on her face. She groaned as soon as she tried to sit on the couch. Her body was sour and rigid."It's all his fault. That bastard forced me to sleep here with no pillow and blanket." Brianna cursed under her breath. She then looked for Satan, who was apparently not on his bed. Brianna thought he might be in the bathroom and an idea popped into her mind."I should leave before Satan could see me." Brianna held her arm and ran to the door with a wide smile. Before she could leave, a low and cold voice stopped her from behind."Where do you think you are going?" There stand Stand in his glory. He was only in his black pants, and his upper body was naked, giving a perfect show of his 12 packs muscles. Water was dripping from his hair. Brianna forgot what was she doing. She was lost in the deadly beauty of the man before her eyes. Subconsciously, Brianna gulped down her own saliva. In her haste, she sto
"Satan." Roy walked into the dark warehouse. He stopped in front of the pillar and widened his eyes in shock. In one corner of the room, Satan was leisurely sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. Opposite him was a man almost the same age as Satan. He had pitch blonde hair and a fair complexion. His eyes were ocean blue and were now darker in rage. "Roy, meet my brother, Caspian Calascione." Satan said with an evil smile lingering on his handsome face. "Was it him?" Roy asked in disbelief. He could not believe that a weak man like Caspian was capable of going against Satan. "Or why would he be here?" Satan gave a side look to Roy. His dark smirk never leaving his face. Roy was silent for a while. He knew Caspian had met a dead end. No one can save him from the beast. But he was confused, thinking why Caspian targeted Brianna. He very well knows she has nothing to do with Satan's evil plans. "Let's move to the next round." Satan stretched hi
"Bri, wake up." Selene shook Brianna. She left office early today only to confirm Satan was ok."What time is it?" Brianna yawned and snuggled closer to her teddy bear."It's 12 in the noon. You were sleeping for two hours." Selene sat on the edge of the bed."Sele, did Satan told you why he was in the hospital?" Brianna asked nervously. In her desire to sleep, she forgot to ask Selene this important question."Yes, he ate street food with you, and later his stomach was upset." Selene looked at her friend in confusion. Why was she asking her a stupid question?"Do you know where he lives?" Brianna suddenly asked with a bright smile."Yeah." Selene said, and when she saw the bright smile on Brianna's face, her expression turned ghostly."In no way, I am taking you there." Selene shook her head violently. Not a single person was allowed to enter his house until he had a death wish."I will be ready in five minut
Brianna sat on her bed with a confused expression. She was trying to solve the pieces of the puzzle. How could this be possible that no one ever thought to visit Satan? He might be cold and aloof from outside, but he was a nice person from heart~ this was what Brianna thought about Satan. Here she was worried about him, and the person she was concerned about was thinking about how to trap her. "Is Satan the only child of your uncle, Sele?" Brianna asked after contemplating for more than ten minutes. "No, once dad told me that Satan does have a sister, but no one knows where she is. Satan tried his best, but there was no sign of her. As if Earth had swallowed her." Selene nonchalantly said. "Oh!" Brianna had a sad look on her pale face. She could imagine the pain of Satan. Losing a family was not easy. She had gone through it, although some memories were like nightmares haunting her, every night, some of the sweet moments with her mother and
The next day, Brianna and Selene did not discuss the matter of Satan and had their breakfast in silence. Both indulged in their thoughts. "Bri, I have to meet someone. You can go to the office first. I will join you later." Selene then picked her Gucci bag and walked to the front door. Brianna silently watched Selene because her actions were weird. Selene was never nervous in front of Brianna, but now she was, and even her hands were trembling slightly while tying the hook of her heels. "Are you going to see Christopher?" Brianna leaned back on her chair with her brows knitted together. When she saw the expression on Selene's face, Brianna sighed and shook her head. "Yes." Selene bowed her hand and stood on the same spot like a naive and timid young girl. "Don't get over-emotional, Sele. Let him explain and clarify things. If you want to end this relationship, end it completely." Brianna patted Selene's shoulder before leaving the house in a whi
Selene's eyes were blank, without any trace of emotions. Deep down, her heart was twisting with unbearable pain. It's been months since that one particular incident, but to her, it feels likes it happened yesterday. That event was still playing in her memory. "Right! I should be afraid of scum like you." Selene sneered. An expression of pain flashed in Christopher's eyes, but he was quick to conceal it. Selene still manages to capture that five seconds change in expression. "I am sorry." Christopher whispered in a weak voice. He so badly wanted to hold his woman in his arms, but this was not the right time. He needs to solve the issue and try to make her understand. "Why did you call me?" Selene asked in a cold voice. Her heart trembles when Chris apologize. Selene's brain moved in another direction. All the negative thoughts flushed, making her dizzy. "Sele, please listen to me once. At least give me a chance to explain. Don't you
Brianna walked back to the office with a burning face. The incident that happened minutes before was still lingering in her brain. "Coffee." Brianna hurriedly left the coffee on Satan's table and left the office without sparing another glance. Behind the closed door, Brianna could hear the heartily laugh of Satan. "My little rabbit." Satan clicked his tongue with a shook of his head. His green orbs turned a darker shade with lust and possession. Brianna was completely unaware of the tragedy that was waiting for her shortly. Satan sat on his leather chair and sipped his coffee with a satisfied smile on his face. If he wants something, there's no way he would not be able to get it. His heart and mind were both as calm as serene water. Although he wasn't able to sort out his thoughts regarding Brianna, he still believed what his father told him, 'son, women are like cheap and second-hand clothes. Once you throw a small sum of money, the
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
