JERAHI jumped on my feet as the sound sent waves of shock down my body. Another gunshot came, and terror filled me completely.Terrified, I ran to the window and was aghast by the sight of six men climbing down the high fence. I saw the gateman down on the floor, obviously shot. What in God's name?My entire body vibrated immediately as I noticed the guys running into the house. Not knowing who they were or what was going on, I was completely perplexed.I ran to the door and for the first time, I was relieved it was locked. At least, I was certain there was no way they'd be able to break in. Or was there?Sweats beaded my forehead, indicating my nervousness. I had feared a moment like this. My abductor was a monster and would definitely have bad men after him. I was certain those guys were here for him.I laid my hand on my rosary and prayed silently not to get affected. He wasn't even home. Would they leave after finding out?A while later, I heard a door bei
I cocked my brows at her. Did the whole scenario ness with her head so bad, she was forgetting who the bad men were? Of course, I was bad. But I wasn't the one she should be raising her God-damn voice on.Bitch must've really lost her mind form the sight of a mere gun fight.I watched as she crawled backwards and rose to her feet. She wrapped her hands around herself like she was suffering from a cold, only I could tell it was from fear.There was something about the way she looked at me now. Like I was a demon. The very devil that just tried to kill her.I scoffed and looked down at myself. That was when I noticed the bloodstains all over me. Could this be the reason she was acting all yellow-belied? Was she dumb?I decided to ignore her witlessness."Why the fúck were these men here?" I growled low in my throat as I stomped towards her.Her eyes grew wider in shock as she recoiled say from me."Stay away from me!" She cried out, her lips trembling.What the fúck?!I watched in confu
JERAH I had my hands wrapped around myself, shivering as I sat on the bed. I couldn't tell if the weather was cold, or it was just a result of the recent incidence. All I knew was I felt so much cold - and fear. My eyes continued dancing around, feeling scared and unsafe. I didn't know who would attack next - the bad man or the unknown men? I had never felt so much fear my whole life. Not even when the bad man had shown up in my apartment and tortured me. Yes, I had been terrified when he hit and stabbed me, but the fear was nothing compared to watching him kill those men in such cruel way. How could he be so heartless? How could he kill without the slightest remorse? He was a demon. And demons should be kept in hell, not here on earth. Oh! I certainly shouldn't be near one. My eyes shimmered with tears, and from time to time, they fell onto my cheeks, but I wiped them as quickly as they came. Now that I thought of it, the entire house reeked of evil. It
VOIDRage boiled within me like a cauldron over a blazing fire. All I saw was red, and the feel of hot blood pumping through my veins.How dare she?! How dare she make a mockery of my job to try and escape me?Ruled by rage, I stormed out of the room, retrieved my car keys and drove out of the house.My hands gripped the steering wheel so tight, my knuckles turned white. How long had it been since she escaped? How did she even escape? Where could she fúcking be?I growled at the thought of her escaping me. Hell no! She doesn't escape me. Her fate is in my hands and my hands alone.I never deal with a victim and let them escape me. That wasn't how I fucking became the King of the night. This bitch would've been dead if it wasn't for Rocco's shitty plan. So, hell no. She doesn't get to escape me. Not unless she's confirmed to be unworthy of my bullet, or the edge of my knife.I looked sideways as I drove along the streets. Only the devil knew the plans I had in min
VOID"Please..." she crawled back on her butts, still on the table. "I'm... I'm sorry."I glared at her. "No, you're not. But you will be. Soon."Seeing the threatening look in my eyes, she tried running off the table. In one stretch, I yanked her hair, pulling her back to the table.She screamed,of course. But it's silenced to a stunned gasp when I reach for the top of her dress and tore it down, revealing down to her abdomen.Her eyes widened in shock, her lips parted in horror. She looked from her torn dress to my face, then let out a piercing scream."Let me go!! Let me go!" She struggled with strength I never knew she had.But of course, her strength was unmatchable to the power of my right arm alone.While standing at the edge, I pinned her to the table. She yelled and struggled with every strength she had, but all she looked like was a mouse fighting under the bondage of a tiger.Pinning her down with my left hand, I ripped the remaining part of
VOIDThe bitch became so frightened, she screamed like she'd never screamed before. It was ear-piercing and irking, I was tempted to whip a slap on her face."Shut it!" I growled, my hand still on her bum, attempting to pull it down.Damn me if she listened and stopped.She gripped the neck of my shirt immediately, her entire body shuddering with panic."Don't do this." She whimpered. "Please! I'll never be able to live with it. Please!" Her lips shivered.My hand stilled. And my gaze focused on her.I've killed bitches. And I've killed sons of bitches. And never have I seen so much fear in someone.She hadn't shown this much fear when she had found me in her apartment, and I had stabbed her in the leg. She hadn't shown this much fear when she woke up in my place and found me looking all devily.How could she be so scared of some damn pussy? How fúcking special was it? Hell, I could have a million pussies a day if I wanted. Why was she so terrified ove
JERAHAfter what seemed like forever, we arrived at our destination.It had been fearful at first as we had to drive through the woods and covered a long distance before meeting a big black gate.Not leaving the car, my abductor pulled out a remote, clicked a button on it and I watched in amusement as the gates opened on their own.My mouth hung open in astonishment. Well, living in the convent didn't let me in on much experience.We drove through the gate and I became even more amused by the beauty I saw. It wasn't a two storey building like the other. This was a bungalow. But it was extremely gorgeous.I cocked my neck to see the two cars parked by the fence on the left side. What? Aside the cars in the other apartment, he had two extra? How rich was this guy?That was probably his reason for being evil. It was worth it, for him.He pulled to a stop and withdrew his key from the ignition. "Get out." He stated icily before leaving the car.He was always so hard,
WILHELMINA"Oooh" He sniggered. "Someone's looking all serious today."He plonked himself beside me on the couch, throwing his hand to wrap around my shoulder."When will you be leaving, huh? Are you sure you even want to leave again? L.A is quite nice, don't you think?" He whispered to my ears, which he licked.I hissed and pulled my face away.He was right, tho. My mission was over. So, I'd be leaving soon. Not a lot of people knew me around here. Sylvian was just one of the few, and that's because he had server under my dad before now. That's the reason I was one of the few people that could mess with him."What I'm about to say is highly confidential, Sylvian. I need to know that I can trust you." I locked eyes with him as I spoke.He shrugged. "You know I got you all day, babe."I hesitated for a brief moment."Earlier today, I met someone that looked like me. Exactly like me."Sylvian's face was blank. Then, he chuckled like I had just cracked a
VOID.I caught her in my arms, staring at her face as she dozed off. There wwas a twinge in my chest, one I definitely didn't like.Taking her into my arms, I took her upstairs to her room and gently laid her on the bed.What was it I felt for this lady that made me feel so guilty? What was it I felt for her that wanted me to do as she said?I waved it off. To feel was weakness. I didn't come this far by letting feelings get to me. Serpente needed to be dead. And it was only unfortunate that he was her father.I brushed my fingers through her front hair as I watched her sleep. She had been through a lot. The last thing she needed was being alone. Well, life was really unfair to her, wasn't it?I'd been a little struck when she'd told me the story of her and her bitchy sister. To think she'd have been that bitch...But how could someone so sweet have had a dark past? It was ironic, wasn't it? Being little, she has been a demon. But now, she couldn't eve
JERAHI didn't realize when we got home. From the moment Void had met me in the room and helped me into his car, all I could recall doing was shedding tears.I didn't even try to stop. For the first time, I was gripped by a new, unfamiliar pain. It was unlike any I had known.Bit by bit, my memories began to return. They weren't vivid yet, but Mina's words morphed into images and made it a little easy to recover some of the memories.Although, I wished I didn't have to remember them. But they just came freely.I had been truly evil. I recalled those times I'd hurt my father's servants for the slightest offense. I recalled when how happy I was to hurt someone, and how uncomfortable I was when the atmosphere was too peaceful. There was a day I had chopped off a woman's finger for burning my meal. While she wailed, father had applauded me. And I had been so happy.I was too young to have a heart as dark as that. If I hadn't fallen off the cliff and lost my mem
JERAHDo you know that feeling when it feels like the entire world was fake? That feeling when you look around and all you could see was a big empty desert with not a single soul in sight. You feel lost. Abandoned. Scared. Confused.That was exactly how I felt the moment she uttered my name.For a long time, I stared blankly at her, trying so hard to comprehend her last statement. Why would she call her own name when talking to me?My heart raced. My mind rejected the hint it had coming.She scoffed as a tear finally slipped her eye."What? Why do you look so surprised, sister? Don't tell me you didn't miss your name. Sorry I had to lend it for fifteen years."Shivers ran through me. I shook my head and took some steps back."Wh... What're you talking about? I'm not Mina, I'm...""Isobel?" She huffed. "You're so pathetic, aren't you? All because you're this... fake nun, you had a dream and picked out the victim to be you? Why? You feel you're incapable
JERAHWe became at alert instantly. I looked at Void, like he could give me immediate answers on who was outside the gate. How could he even tell?He went closer and peeped through the gate. With the speed he'd turned back at Karney and I, I knew there was no goodnews. He took my arm and guided me towards Karney."Quick. Take her out through the back exit." He uttered, his voice gravelly.I was bewildered. "Wh...What's going on?""We've got company. And I don't want you here while they are " He ran towards the house and returned shortly with a gun, some tools and my phone. He gave my phone to me."What the hell are you waiting for? Get her out of here!" He yelled at Karney.Karney grabbed my hand and tried running off with me. I pulled my hand away."But what about you? Why don't we just run off together?" I asked worriedly.He looked at me and smirked. "I never run away from my battles, J; not when they brought it to my home. And trust me, I'm the last perso
His name was Tyler.For a couple of years, he had been working for Don Serpente and definitely knew about his daughter. He knew how ruthless she was and that the last thing she'd do was side with her father's enemies.However, he was heavily confused for the first time. Don. Serpente had assigned him and a few others to be on the lookout for Void. He had gotten info that Void was seen leaving Don. Lucio's apartment. He had a feeling their meeting had something to do with him and wanted to hear from the horse's mouth. Also, he had heard about how very dangerous Void was and wanted to give it a try himself. He hated when there was someone above his reach.So, Tyler was on the lookout, and luckily, he was able to spot Void going into the mall. But what he didn't expect was seeing Wilhemina with Void.He returned to Don. Serpente's abode as quickly as he could to relay the information. Serpente was taking a smoke in the living room and having his feet massaged by a half-naked woman when h
JERAHI slept for a long time after my morning session with Void. I had no idea the sins of the flesh could feel so good - although, I still wasn't proud of it.I'd woken up to find Void on the bed, just sitting on the edge with his head in his palms. He seemed like one in deep thoughts."Are... Are you okay?" I gently asked as I rose up to sit next to him."Yeah," he mumbled.Of course, that was a lie.All of a sudden, I became bothered. I was yet to define what my relationship was with him. Although, there have been little signs of it, he'd never declared he liked me or even cared enough for me. What if he was treating me like he did to every other lady? What if I was nothing but a toy to him? Did he really look like a man that could pay respects to me?"Did Mina say when our father will be coming?" I stood up and asked, going to the table to pour myself a glass of juice."No. But I confirmed from someone that he might've arrived yesterday."I lo
VOID. I watched her fall asleep on the bed, in my arms. I bet she didn't know when she did that. Or maybe she did but just didn't care anymore.I stayed awake all through, reminiscing on the moment. It still seemed unreal - that Jerah had given up her body for me.Why exactly would she? When I had done absolutely nothing to deserve it? Now, she had only made it more difficult getting her out of my mind. And unfortunately, itwas the wrongest time.Father had me in a position I didn't want to be. Now, I was forced to work for him, against Jerah's father. How the fuck did that sound, huh? Definitely dumb.Jerah might not know much about her father. The man might be a díckhead and all, but he still fathered her. And no motherfucker would ever be cool with watching their father get killed. Except for a few motherfuckers, maybe. But definitely not Jerah.But now, I was left with no option but to get it done. So, I needed to cut ties with her. Hell, that was what I
JERAHHe looked at me like I was insane and maybe I was.My heart wouldn't stop pounding in my chest. I was commiting a grave offense, one that was strongly against my doctrine. But what in God's name was wrong with me?This man had been nothing but evil. He had hurt me before, was highly dangerous and had so much blood on his hands. For what felt likeh whole life, I've been against people and things like this. I should be far away from him. But instead, here I was! Wanting so badly to do things I should never dream of doing.This was likely going to change everything. I'd never be able to return to the convent. But how could I? With everything I had been through? With the new truth I was discovering?Yes, Void might be a really dangerous man. A man with a heart of stone. But somehow, I liked him. Perhaps, it happened because he was the first man I'd gotten to spend so much time with. I don't know. But I just know I like him."Do you realize what you're
JERAHI had seen my look-alike again. My sister. I had been in my room, playing with the only toy I had when she came in and insisted I go out with her. I didn't want to, but as usual, she always had a way of forcing me.I followed her out of the house, and for a long time, we walked?"Where are we going, Mina? My legs hurt," I began to gripe."Just shut up and walk, Isobel. This is the reason father sees you as too weak," she taunted.My eyes were almost rimmed with tears. I hated everytime they called me weak. Unfortunately, I didn't have the balls to prove them wrong.She finally stopped walking when we got to a cliff. It didn't sit well with me that we were in front of a cliff."Why are we here?" I asked worriedly, looking around.The area was too quiet, too bushy. And below the cliff was a big body of water. It was definitely not a good place to be."Why is Silas always showing more attention to you than me?" My sister asked.I returned my gaze to he
