The Devil's Protection Chapter 34
Vincent:"If there were no hatred, we would be happy, right?"All day long, that question haunted me; I couldn't concentrate on anything. This morning, Orabella's godlike appearance as a lost soul was like a knife stabbing deep into my heart. Sometimes I also think, if I disapproved of this invasion, would she still be happy with her family? But it's too late to regret; everything has gone into its orbit. Instead of thinking about the past, I want to work harder for the future. To avoid being awkward, I pretended not to hear her whisper, trying to act normal.I find it funny that I'm not a nice person, nor am I the type to think about others. But ever since I met her, I've been like a different person. My priority is not territorial expansion or a war of interests. Instead, I want my woman to be able to smile every day.But is it still possible to have fun in the same situation as her? My feelings are not invisible to her, but there is no way she can accept it.I sighed, folded my boo

Orabella:I was stunned by Vincent's sudden question, I didn't understand what he was trying to say to me, but I've always had a strange feeling all day today."Make up for what?" I frowned.Vincent looked at me without taking his eyes off me; he was about to say something but stopped and shook his head after a while.We returned to the villa, and the first thing Vincent did was run straight to the office. I don't know if it's because I'm suspicious, but I feel that Vincent deliberately avoids me; he doesn't dare to look me in the eye for more than three seconds, and waits for him to return to the room when I'm asleep. In the days that followed, we barely saw each other; we only met when he took me to Raisa's place and picked me up home.Today I finished training earlier than usual; Raisa also has a business with Gray. Sometimes I wanted to give myself some alone time to think, so I called Vincent and said I would return to the Pack. I borrowed Raisa's car for a walk; luckily, I have

These seem to be the rare times that Vincent is so gentle with me that he turns into a different person. In my heart, a sudden fear of being speechless, Vincent's question from yesterday, repeated in my head.He wants to make up for me, every action, every gentle gesture. Could it be like Clement said, my mother is dead, and Vincent is hiding from me, so he feels guilty about wanting to make up for me?This thought made my whole body tremble; I dodged Vincent's touch, leaned back in my chair, and spoke. "I'm a bit tired; let's go home."Vincent stared at me momentarily; he didn't ask much, then started the car.During the journey, we did not say a word to each other, but we all had our thoughts in our hearts.When the car turned through a dark road, my eyes seemed to sink into the night; I asked. "What I told you the other day, when can I visit my mother." I lowered my face so that Vincent wouldn't see my anguished expression and choked. "I miss her."The car suddenly bounced up and t

Edward's pupils are bloodshot; he looks at the person talking and feels the killing intent, so he falls silent. But Edward still refused to let him go, his face expressionless, threw the person who said those dirty words to the fire tiger just like the warden."Who else dares to say such dirty words?" Edward spoke coldly.The space was silent, and his criticisms also stopped. Everyone looked at each other; no one dared to provoke Edward. It hurt me to look at him; my brother has changed, and his change makes me highly bitter.I covered my mouth, stifling every sob."What I do, I bear, has nothing to do with you," Edward said coldly and returned to work.Everyone looked at him; a brave man stepped up and shouted. "Warden List carelessly fell into a fire pit while hitting a slave."Edward raised his eyes to look at the man who had just spoken to him, but he didn't show emotion and lowered his eyes.Those present immediately followed, shouting that the warden had been careless and no one

I kept my promise and returned to the training ground at four o'clock. From a distance, I saw Raisa's worried look; she couldn't sit still because it was almost time for the appointment, and I still didn't return. Her nervousness disappeared as soon as she saw me and ran before me. "You scared me to death. The general just called and said he would be over earlier than usual because he wanted to see your practice; I kept imagining him coming before you returned; I couldn't stay still."My facial muscles stiffened, but I still managed to force a smile. On the way back, I thought a lot, and if I wanted to kill Vincent smoothly, I must not reveal my strangeness first. Vincent has excellent observation; he will discover if I am not careful."It's okay now; let's go inside." I smile, but my heart seems numb; I am like a beautiful porcelain doll without a soul.Raise was about to say something when her face turned white; she stammered and pointed her finger behind me. "General...."Seeing he

Vincent:I was utterly stunned, feeling like I had just frozen for a moment. I squeezed my hand tightly and released it quickly. For the first time, I felt so helpless. If another woman were in front of me making a fuss, I would have immediately thrown her out, even kill. But now, just seeing Orabella's tears fall, my heart tightens again."Listen to me, okay?" I said nervously; I was even scared; my change surprised and shocked me.However, Orabella had no intention of listening to me; she angrily pushed me hard; her whole face was covered with tears, and her voice hoarsely screamed. "Stop lying, you bastard. What are you going to say to me? Are you going to put all the blame on someone else and consider yourself innocent?"I shook my head, I had just taken a step to one to hold her shoulder to talk calmly, but Orabella had thoroughly distrusted me ever since I hid this from her. While thinking about how to tell her to understand and believe me, Orabella suddenly attacked me; when I

Orabella:Since that day, Vincent confined me in a room with four walls. He ordered the servants to bring things that could hurt me out of the room. Leave only soft, non-lethal things. Every day on time, someone will bring food and water, treat me like an animal kept in a glass cage and whisper loudly.I let out a sarcastic laugh. They even said that I was crazy, scared and quickly left the room.I didn't look at the food on the table even once. I did not eat or drink for five days but sat motionless, looking out the window. The only thing I care about right now is Edward's safety. I'm cut off from the outside world; no news can enter this room.Fear rose in my heart, but I could only sit on my knees helplessly, not knowing what to do. I feel so useless; I hate my current self.Time passes very slowly; every hour that passes is like a century. I looked outside; the sky was already dark, and another meaningless day had passed.At seven o'clock, the maid brought the evening, and when sh

From that day on, my relationship with Vincent returned to the way it was before, the night when I held a knife to his neck; it was just a nightmare. We all choose not to talk about the past. Compared to before, Vincent's attitude towards me is more gentle.He has significantly changed, but my heart is no longer the same. In my head, I was always thinking about how to get revenge, but on the surface, I still pretended to be submissive and soft to Vincent. Living with two faces makes me feel highly suffocated; I don't know when I turned into the shape I hated the most. I am a weak person; actions and thoughts constantly contradict each other.Although Vincent allowed me to move around in the house, I know he's constantly monitoring me from afar. Some servants noticed that no matter what I did, their eyes fixed on me to always report to Vincent.Another week passed, and what he promised me was not fulfilled. The killer he said he would bring in front of me has yet to be seen.I sat in f

The Devil's Protection Chapter 52
No matter how bad life is, I still have to live. I can't abuse myself, and I can't let myself fall. I don't want to see Fayre gloating and happy. I had to find her, and I wanted her to experience the pain she caused Edward.Every day, I go to the hospital several times. At first, I wasn't allowed into the treatment room, but after a week, I was finally allowed to get close to my brother. Edward remains in a coma, but doctors say his condition is stable.I held Edward's hand and carefully wiped it.As usual, I will massage Edward's feet and talk to him to make time faster."Winter is coming; the air outside is frigid. But I still remember when you used to take me out to build a snowman; it was very beautiful, huge..." I suddenly stopped, feeling sad; all the beautiful memories for me seemed blocked by a door, and I didn't dare to step through.Suddenly, a man's hoarse voice rang out in the quiet room. "Orabella..."At first, I thought it was Vincent, but then I discovered it wasn't.I
The Devil's Protection Chapter 51
Orabella:After what felt like a century, I slowly woke up from a long sleep. I opened my eyes then, but my limbs were stiff as if plaster had been poured on them; I couldn't move. Even so, tears still rolled down my cheeks.According to what I saw, I was brought home, and a familiar room met my eyes, and the natural floral scent I liked the most. Everything is so normal that I can imagine it clearly with my eyes closed. However, my heart is empty, and I have lost the most crucial thing in life."Edward…" I whispered, my mouth dry and my tears falling like rain again, my chest constricting as I remembered what he had endured.A bloody Edward appeared before my eyes, his face pale and groans of pain.I reached out, wanting to touch it, but the image immediately disappeared. I smiled bitterly, and it turned out it was just my imagination.Just as I wanted to sit up, the door opened again. A face so familiar that I hated it appeared in my sight. He was surprised to see me awake; in those

Unable to wait any longer, I rushed to the slave camp E. The soldiers bowed to their sides in greeting and seemed terrified at my sudden appearance. I passed them and went all the way down to the torture room. I could smell Orabella's blood from afar, and my steps became more urgent.My eyes were wide open; I couldn't believe what I saw was real. It made my heart ache like a thousand knives were stabbed.Without waiting for my order, the people behind me quickly opened the cell door.I rushed inside, hugging Orabella's limp body, who had passed out after being brutally tortured. My hand trembled, and I didn't dare hug her too tightly for fear of hurting her. My stomach tightened when I saw the wounds all over her body. The smell of blood quickly spread everywhere, causing pain in my chest. I lowered my eyes, trying to hold back the tears that were about to overflow."Orabella, please wake up," I whispered, my voice was so weak.Blood ran down my arm as I carried Orabella to the hospit

Vincent:I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. I sat on the sofa and ran my hands through my hair. This feeling of loneliness makes me highly uncomfortable. Even though she left here long ago, I can still smell Orabella's scent in the air. For some reason, I have a terrible feeling about something.Hesitating momentarily, I dialed Oreballa's phone number but never pressed the call button. Initially, I told her we needed time and space to be more comfortable. But now it's only been three hours, and I've broken my promise again; how bad am I in her eyes?I sighed and put the phone down. I couldn't sleep again that night. I couldn't stand it anymore in the morning, so I went home. I don't care what Orabella thinks of me, but until I see her safe, I probably won't be able to focus on anything for the next week.Thinking about it, I drove like flying home.As soon as I parked the car in the yard, I saw Fayre's shocked face. What made me unhappy was why she was still here.More tha

Slap!A shrill screech tore through the cold wind, my red hand slowly descending along with Fayre's swollen half-face.Everyone present was amazed by my somewhat crazy actions. Their face was written the question: Who is that girl that dares to slap Vincent's sister?Fayre's eyes widened in shock, clutching her left cheek, hissing through her teeth. "You dare slap me?""Not only slap, I can kill you if you dare touch my brother again," I replied loudly without fear.Our eyes met for a few seconds, and Fayre's eyes were filled with utter fury. I smacked her once before without restraint, and Fayre said she would kill me if it happened again. And this time, her words came true.Fayre's eyes reddened, and she roared in command. "Catch her back, bring her to the torture area for me. It would be nice if she could see her brother again in the moment before she died; that's also the last kindness I have for her."My hands were tied, I struggled with all my strength but could not escape the f
The Devil's Protection Chapter 47
The night wind blew colder and colder, and I pulled my oversized jacket over my body, this shirt Vincent gave me with a thing. I reached out my hand to touch my pocket; the palm of my hand conveyed a cold feeling like a cold burn. A gun with real bullets inside makes it easy to finish anyone.When Vincent gave it to me, I was surprised and asked him. "Aren't you afraid I'll use it to pierce your heart?"Vincent casually smirked. "If you can afford it, I won't stop you. But before you do anything, you must consider the consequences, the benefits, and the harms."I gripped the gun in my hand, then turned towards him, my index finger trembling, but eventually had to put it down. Vincent's lips smiled calmly as if my actions were all part of his calculations.I sighed, frustrated at my weakness. I walked along the asphalt road, listening to the wind rustling on the trees and finding a sense of peace I had long lost. A few good memories rushed into my mind when the incident had not happene
The Devil's Protection Chapter 46
I was violently thrown down in front of Vincent's door; in pain, I heard a knock on the door, and then the group of men quickly disappeared. In the long, gloomy corridor, I was left alone for a moment.Due to the gag, I couldn't speak or scream; I could only use all my strength to untie the ropes and get out of there before Vincent opened the door.But in the end, still not in time, the door opened, and Vincent's cold face appeared in the darkness. His eyes darted over mine, including a few glints of unspeakable astonishment. There was only an awkward and suffocating atmosphere between us.After a minute, Vincent stooped to help me up. He helped me untie and remove the towel from my mouth, coldly throwing it in the trash. My wrists and legs were red but red due to being tightened by the rope; I frowned and rubbed it a little to relieve the pain. Just as I wanted to leave, Vincent's bloody arm caught my eye; he let his hand drop to his thigh, blood still dripping from the wound, drippi
The Devil's Protection Chapter 45
But at the same time, I can't forget the reason why my family fell into the situation today, and I can't forget the feeling of falling from heaven to hell; I can't forget where my unhappiness comes from, much less forget what made me change into a completely different person.I remember I used to like to laugh. I remember I used to have a lot of dreams and ambitions; I remember I dreamed of a perfect life partner. I remember my former self.I looked at Vincent's pupils, where my current self was reflected. A person so strange that I didn't recognize, a person that disgusted me.Vincent pinned my shoulder blades to the point of pain, uncontrollably shaking.After a few moments, Vincent slowly let go of me; he reached out to squeeze my chin, his voice hoarse with a hint of cruelty. "No matter how much you hate me, you must be by my side even if you don't want to. You say I'm a demon; you're right. So don't try to escape; the more uncomfortable you are, the more I want to torment you, to
The Devil's Protection Chapter 44
Seeing her like that should have made me very happy, but why do I feel uncomfortable in my chest?I suddenly remembered Edward; before, every time I did something wrong, afraid of being discovered by my parents, I would hug his arm tightly to coax him; if not, I would cry bitterly. I know Edward is most afraid of seeing my tears, knowing his weakness, so I always use that method to force him to lie for me. Although Edward often found out I was faking, he still indulged me unconditionally. Because of Edward, I have never been afraid of anything because I understand well that no matter what terrible things I do, there is someone behind me ready to support me.Remembering some old things makes me unable to help but feel bitter when I remember the present. Edward's cold, emotionless face popped into my head, tightening my chest. I looked up at Vincent; Edward and Vincent's faces interlocked. They are utterly different in every way, but they have one thing in common: that is hugely loving
