“Woah.” Devon swerved and could have fallen into the floor had she not quickly reached the bed post for support. “Answer me Daemon, damn it! You and your wife, do you have a baby together?”

“We had a daughter,” he corrected her.

“Had?” she whispered.

Still shaken, she breathed hard to contemplate the information she just received. She’s confused about what to process first. The fact that he and his wife have a baby or the other startling truth that that baby is already dead.

Daemon sat there just staring at her. That annoyed her. He’s always doing that-gawking, studying her face, and then looking away as if trying to remember something. Another thing that pissed the hell out of her is his effect on her. Is it because of that fucking kiss they shared? Or his dominance over her?

She’s not the most honest woman in the world to other people but she made it to the point to be honest to herself. And this man right here affected her in ways that she can’t imagine that would happen to her

    “What did he mean I hid their baby?” Ava is pacing back and forth in the room. Her hand is on her temple massaging it because she felt like her head would be cracked open by the revelation. Apparently, he’s not joking when he told her he kills people as his means of living. That man is the head of the Druft family, the lethal mafia group that is feared by many cartels all over the state. No wonder Levi did not make a fuss with Daemon in the pub. He’s no match to his wealth and power. “So I am Devon, his wife. I betrayed Daemon by contacting my family, which is his rival who gunned him down. I escaped with our baby but I was involved in a car accident and now he’s looking for the baby but I don’t know where I hid her because I have no memories.” She stopped in confusion and stared at her reflection in the mirror. “But how was I able to hide the baby when I was part of the accident! Of course I’d be bleeding! I won’t be able to move! I could have lost my consciousness right there!” E

    “Don’t even think of faking your condition.”Ava jolted in her feet when she heard a voice from her back. It’s Maddy who she thought had already left. “Oh, I thought you’re already leaving?” she asked, brows raising. She knows when a person does not like her. Obviously, this Maddy hates her as Devon to the bone. “Once Daemon finds out, he will never spare you even if you’re the mother of his child. He has suffered immensely from your absence so I suggest you come out as early as now.”She paced towards her, her cunning eyes studying her expression very carefully. “You think I’m only acting?” she exclaimed in disbelief. “You think I’d go through all that trouble because I’m only acting? Gosh! You’re as crazy as that evil man inside! I don’t care what you think, Maddy.”She stormed past her but she managed to snatch her arm.“What?!” Ava cried, annoyed.Who is Maddy in Daemon’s life? Is she his lover? Did he cheat on Devon with her? Is that the reason why she ran away? If I were he

    “He's sleeping. Don’t worry. He won’t die from consuming too much alcohol. His body already got used to it,” Henry told me when he saw me waiting outside Daemon’s room.“Drunkard,” she can’t help but complain. “At the rate he’s going, I’ll be widowed for a year. That would be a good thing, you know.”Henry just shrugged and walked past her. “Hey, wait. Henry, can I ask you something?”He stopped and waited for her to ask. “Did he really love Devon? I mean, did he love me?”She swore that she saw something crossed his eyes but he must be an expert in hiding his feelings because he quickly concealed it. “I don’t know. We have a different definition of that word, Devon. Only you can tell after you remember everything. Goodnight.”“What is wrong with the people here? Not one of them answered my question. I ask the maid about Devon but she refused to answer. I thought they want me to remember but why are they not cooperating?”Rolling her eyes in confusion, she silently went inside Daemon

    Daemon threw a big party in the house for winning a big bid against a gun cartel in the district making him the official mafia king of the north. Wines and beers flow like fountain while his guests are lounged out into the whole yard talking and mingling with the guests.Daemon reminded her to stay inside the house and hide if possible because her being alive is his trump card. She didn’t ask what for. Probably against her family? He mentioned that her dad gunned him down. But she’s bored and bored people need to do something to ease their boredom or else they will suffer from more boredom. “Wait, that’s Maddy’s senator husband,” she said and moved her hand telescope to find another prominent politician in the lawn. “Is that Mark the celebrity?” She transferred from one window to another and adjusted the lens to clearly see the man she’s been admiring after she watched his recent hit movie. “I don’t like you anymore.”“Now, where is my husband?” Rotating the machine looking for Daem

    She lost track of the time after she discovered a movie theater room in the mansion. So for the next couple of hours, she stayed there enjoying every movie she could find. When it’s apparent that the guests have all left, that’s when she came out of her cave to eat and sleep. It’s already past two in the morning and the whole house is like a ghost town due to its uncanny silence.“Is the party over?” she whispered and peeked over the glass door towards the pool area. The whole place is already cleaned and back to its orderly fashion. After eating some leftover food in the fridge, she went upstairs ready to hit the hay. She didn’t bother to turn off the lights and just jumped right into the bed but instead of the usual soft covers that welcomed her, a hard and warm flesh instead greeted her. She jumped back and screamed but whoever is lying on the bed is quicker than her. He trapped her in his arms and covered her mouth and whispered to her ear.“Shut up. I’m trying to sleep here.”

    “What did you say?!” he growled and moved in a flash towards her, his teeth gnashing in anger. “Did you just say something about my father?!”Frozen on the spot due to his monstrous reaction, she closed her eyes waiting for him to hit her. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Daemon.”But instead of being slapped or punched like she expected, she heard a sob instead. Her eyes opened wide in astonishment when she saw Daemon on the floor writhing like a wounded child. “D-Daemon? Are you okay?” She slowly approached him. “Are you okay? D-Daemon?” Propping into his side to check him, Devon was astounded to see him crying. “What…” As weird as it may sound but she’s more scared now to see him crying than when he pointed a gun at her. But surprisingly, despite feeling fear, she raised her hand and began tapping his back in an effort to soothe him. “Don’t you dare mention anything about my father! You don’t know anything about him,” he said in a suppressed high voice. “I won’t say anything about him an

    Something hot is fanning her face despite knowing that the air-condition was blasting last night. She purred and snuggled closer to the heat and clung her leg to whoever was beside her who cleared his throat. Yes, someone cleared his throat. Yes. His.A man. She suddenly woke up. The realization became immediate. Her mind quickly pieced things up together and before she could pretend that she’s still asleep, her reflex was faster to pop her eyes open and scrambled away from Daemon who laid there staring at her. “Why are we on the floor? Did you do something to me last night?” his voice was accusing. She fixed herself before standing up and sitting on bed looking as grumpy as ever. “Look who’s talking! You’re the one who came here in my room and hugged me like a lovesick boy last night. You won’t let go of my hand no matter what I do! And what would I do to you? I’m not like you.”“Your room?” His brows raised. “It’s also my room.”She cocked her brows higher. “But you never sleep

    “Behave, Devon. I’m telling you. Don’t leave my side. If I see you taking off your mask, we’re going home immediately.”She rolled her eyes as they entered the mansion of Maddy’s husband who’s a senator where the auction is held. Both of them are wearing a black suit and a black mask enough to cover half of their faces just like all of the people in the event for the sake of anonymity. Tonight, she’s posing as his bodyguard. It took a lot of her to convince him to let her come. If not for Henry suggesting this idea, she would still be inside the room sulking. “I know, okay? You’ve been telling me that for ten fucking times, evil pig.”“I’m just reminding you and stop calling me that!”“Then stop being one,” she hissed. They passed the security after Daemon scanned his wrist on the machine. “Don’t you dare leave my side, you understand me? And don’t dream of escaping. I have eyes around.” “Noted mafia boss. What else do you want me to do?” she said sarcastically and adjusted her re

    One year after,“I’ve come to visit you, dad, finally.”She placed a basket of flowers into the grave of Gestoni Farrows and gazed at his name.It’s been months since he was buried but it’s the first time she visited him. She already came from Emily’s grave earlier. Coming into her resting place every day has been her routine. “I am not like you, dad. I was not corrupted by power. I am still here wanting to leave this all behind.” Sitting on the ground, she looked at the clear blue sky above her. “Are you feeling good there? What is it like being finally at peace? That’s unfair when you left us all here in chaos.”For her, forgiveness is still far-fetched. The pain is still fresh and she thought she would never have gotten over the death of her daughter.But life goes on especially for the people whom she should be strong for. She already accepted in her heart and mind that being a Farrows is just a part of her past. Until now, she has not talked with her mother. She knows that it

    She found herself going back into their mansion where the wake of her father is being held. On the entrance, her mother could not hold her anger and attacked her and slapped her hard on both of her cheeks.She accepted the two slaps but not the third one. Those two were enough. Hitting her on the third time would already be a disrespect for her, Emily, and her baby.“How dare you come here in your father’s wake after you killed your own father?!” she shouted helplessly at her face while the forlorn guests looked on waiting for the drama to unfold.Devon looked at the whole place and sighed. "His other sons aren't here. Does it mean they also killed him?""How dare you!" She tried slapping her again but she dodged it. "If I know that this will happen then I shouldn't have told you the truth! I should have kept it all inside me! I regretted telling you about your daughter's death."Devon can only nod in pain. "See, this is why we'll never mend our broken relationship. I can understand t

    “Daemon?!” she asked and stopped in her tracks.She’s feeling too happy and confused at the same time. Happy because her husband is alive. He survived his injuries miraculously. Confused because what is he even doing here?Devon ran towards him and hugged him tightly while sobbing in his arms. He felt his hand on her head caressing it gently like he always does to comfort her. And then he gently pulled away her hands from his waist that were tightly clasping around him never wanting to let go. “Thank you for holding up. Now leave the rest to me, Devon. You go live your life without me in it.”Slowly, she looked up at him with an open mouth, her tears stopped from streaming down her blood-soaked face. She stood there as the meaning of his words finally registered in her head. “No! I won’t leave you. I am the one who killed that monster. No one should suffer but me. It’s my greatest revenge against him! Why are you even doing this? You are severely wounded. You are supposed to be rest

    “I’m telling you, Melena. If you do not want to be beaten again then shut your mouth up!” Gestoni’s uptight voice echoed in the walls of the mansion that witnessed how Devon tried to cope with the death that was served in front of her. But Melena remained in her place not backing down despite the immense pressure her husband is exerting against her. “Even if you kill me, I would still tell her! I can’t take this anymore! I’m done being silent regarding this. Gestoni, that was our granddaughter! The first one we had! I can no longer carry the guilt inside.”Devon slowly stood up from the floor both appalled and confused by her statement. What is she talking about? What does she mean by that? Is it about Emily? Her instincts are telling her it’s about Emily.“Mom! What is it you’re talking about?! Tell me!” she begged her mother hoping she would kill the suspense and tell her if what she’s thinking about this is right. “Melena!” Gestoni interrupted to stop his wife. “Go back upstair

    Devon is panting for air. Her chest is heaving but there is a new sense of new emotion that she has just felt now. Looking at her hands full of blood and the man unconscious on the dirt ground brought a different kind of euphoria and satisfaction she has just come to experience now. “So is this the kind of feeling dad and Daemon are having on a daily basis?” She stared at the gun in her hand. “So this is power,” she muttered and emptily glanced at the man lying on his own blood.She broke most of his bones already but it seemed like she wanted to do more. Of course she can do more. When Daemon showed her where he kept Joffrey, he basically gave her the permission to do anything she wanted to do with him. That includes even killing him now. “Can I do it? Can I really kill a person?” she asked herself, her eyes going back from the man and the gun on her hand. She aimed the gun at him and inhaled. “Come on, Devon. Kill him. He made your life a living hell. He’s a rapist. He doesn’t

    “So, what’s the plan next?” she asked while treating Daemon’s wound. They just came home after what happened and they’re already planning for their next move. Lucy is fast asleep in the other room after their helper brought her to bed. She slowly put on his jacket for him and sat on the floor looking up to him sitting on the bed. “We need to strengthen our security. Brian would surely suspect that Lucy is here so this is the safest place we have now. I’m sure he will not blow the place where he is suspecting that we’re hiding his daughter.”“You’re right so what are we going to do now?”He reached for the gun on the floor and put it on his side while never leaving her eyes. “We have to strike first. We cannot wait for your father’s next move. Our main priority is eliminating Gestoni. In that way, your mother will be able to talk. She’ll confess where they’re hiding Emily. Tonight, I’ll make sure to corner her and let me frankly tell you Devon that this could not end well. It’s eithe

    “Devon, child. You are not in the position to ask anything from me.”She just laughed emptily and took out the gun from her pocket and shot it directly to the window of her father’s home office. The glasses shattered and the security system of their house was alerted. She heard the alarm in the voices of the men inside and some went outside to check. They instantly put down their firearms when she saw her with bombs strapped all over her body. “Now that I shattered your window, do I now have the position to ask you a favor?” she said coldly and moved her head and the men ran back inside to check on their boss. “You bitch!” Gestoni yelled and looked down on her from the broken window. He paused to take a good look at her and when he saw that she has all kinds of bombs on her body, her tone died down and there’s a noticeable crack “W-What?! What are you doing outside?! What the fuck are you doing?!”She smirked when she caught his attention. “I finally got your attention, dad. Now

    “Sylvia, I told you already! Dad won’t be moved by this! He will not even care even if we tell us that Devon killed Lucy! You’re just wasting your time begging on him!”Sylvia did not let Brian stop her from going out of the car and into the house where Gestoni is temporarily working because his whole headquarters has been under siege the other day by Daemon’s men. The attack was unexpected and almost half of his men were wiped out.“I don’t care, Brian! I still have to try. I promised Devon I’ll beg your father to return Emily to them so we could have Lucy back! If I have to kiss his feet or give him a blow job or be his sex doll, I’ll do it for the sake of Lucy!”Brian gripped her wrist tightly, his face darkening from hearing those words from her.“What did you say?! Can you please repeat it to me?!”“You heard me right! I am willing to fuck your father if that is the only way I could have my child back.” She took her wrist away from him and lifted her head to him. Her look is def

    The way she phrased it is not really requesting him but somewhat that of a person who has long thought about it and is just informing him of her decision. Daemon was caught off guard but quickly recovered from the shock. Getting up, he gently pulled Devon out of the room so they could talk freely. “Devon, you know we can’t do that. She is not Emily. Lucy has her own parents who also long for her return. She is not our child. She is not ours to keep,” he spoke to her in the softest voice he can afford. If repeating the same thing he tells her every day since she kidnapped Lucy over and over again to inculcate it in her head, then he doesn't mind at all as long as it will make things right. He’s carefully balancing between doing what’s right and logical and not upsetting her though he reckoned that she will still be hurt in the process but he wants it to happen gradually. Exhaling, she put her hand on her chest and opened her mouth to convince him this time. “I know that. It’s just
