The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINETEEN: YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO MISS THE SHOW OF A LIFETIME…
VALENTINA’S POVYou don’t know how truly unjust the world can be until you are stranded, without a job and nobody is willing to hire you. Everywhere I have gone, it has been the same story; we can’t hire you because you are not the right fit for this establishment. Even though I remind them that I was a waiter at a diner very recently, it is almost as if they have all made a vow not to hire me for some reason.“I am sorry Ms. Sanchéz I can’t hire you.” The manager of yet another diner said. I couldn’t help being sad even though I half expected that response. Cafés, restaurants, fast food places, I have tried everything but for some reason nobody seems to want me.Desmond sandals? No, I can’t, that would mean going back to my old life which I want to stay far away from. YARA’S POV“Yara can I still trust you?” Raphael asked he looked hurt, sad, a little disappointed. He looked like I had stabbed at the back with the knife I am holding. I
Last Updated : 2024-09-17The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER TWENTY: I JUST HAVE TO PLAY MY CARDS RIGHT.
DESMOND’S POVI remember the first time I watched Valentina dance, it was at Don Carlos’ strip club, about two years ago, I knew she was special, anyone could see that.I sat amidst those drunk pot bellied slubs that Don Carlos calls his associates, I let their noise drown into nothingness and focused on her, focused on how the stage melted in her presence like she owned it, watched how the lights obeyed her every command, how we all gave her all our full attention.I paid for a lap dance that day, that was quite unusual because I don’t ever find the appeal in strippers and whores, I am not that kind of man but I don’t know, Valentina is different even the Devil agrees.Valentina was different from the other girls we could all tell every single man in that club wanted her for himself, it was probably the knowledge of how untouchable she was that prompted our lust even more.The rules were simple; you have to be satisfied with just watching Valentina dance on the

DESMOND’S POV“We should work together Diego and not fight each other.” I said. I studied him for a moment, tall, cocky, nothing special just nothing… it does not make sense that he was chosen to live a life of luxury from a very young age while I had literally had to crawl my way to the top with nothing but an empty stomach and a stupid drunk for a mother.“We could run these streets if we work together.” I added for effect, I watched his book starting to relax, watched him stop being so tensed… big mistake, rookie mistake.“In fact to commemorate our friendship…” I started then beckoned on one of my goons holding a black briefcase. He walked to us open up the briefcase in front of Diego Fernandez. Diego did not look as excited to see the money inside as I had expected, why would he be? He is just a spoilt child who had never had to work for anything in his life. A sorry excuse for a mafia king is what Diego Fernandez is.He remained calm and confident on

YARA’S POVLife is really unpredictable and paradoxical and crazy like a roller coaster spinning out of control, if you had told me this is how… how everything would go some years back I would have definitely resented you for mocking me.In high school I was what you would describe as a scwany little nerd; always nervous, insecure with a terrible fashion sense, in fact if a person’s dressing could kill I would have killed everyone who looked at me with the way I dressed. I remember always wanting to be the ‘IT’ girl, wanting to be part of the popular girls, girls like Maddie and Katie and my twin sister Zara. I wanted to be Zara so bad, she was the cooler twin, I was cuter no doubt but she has always been more popular because of her daredevil attitude, how she was never afraid of doing dangerous things especially if it would guarantee a shit load of attention.There was the time we started attending this really posh boarding school right there in Maryland, t
Last Updated : 2024-09-29The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: HOW TO KILL A WHORE
DIEGO’S POVI could have sworn that he was there, my father, my arch nemesis, I could have sworn… it is almost as if he vanished into thin air, Or maybe… nah… he died, I killed him, I killed that monster, it was probably nothing. It has to be nothing I ended that fool years ago, now I have two other fools to end; Desmond Sandals and this bitch that thinks she can just undermine me without any consequence.I looked over at Valentina, she was staring at me, I could not really decipher her expression. I don’t really care what she is feeling, I just can’t get the image of her with that man out of my head, how could she?! How could she disrespect me like that?! How can she disrespect the reputation… the legacy I have strived to build for myself?!I tightened my grip on her wrist and turned her so she was facing me.“Listen to me you little tramp nobody disrespects me and goes scot free! You are going to pay with your blood for this disrespect!” I said through gritted teeth. I watched her f

ZARA’S POV“Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.” I yelled in panick, this can not be happening to me, I don’t even know this dude that well, well I know that he is like the most popular guy on campus, that he is on an athletic scholarship, that he is pretty much going to be the next basketball superstar, that he is kind of a big deal and every girl on campus would not mind getting together with him so that they can be WAGs (wives and girlfriends of basketball players) apart from all these things I really don’t know this dude, I can’t have his baby! What if his family has a genetic history of diabetes or scoliosis or worse cancer! I meant have had a crush on him since pretty much forever but I can’t risk that. Nope.But why didn’t we use a condom! Why! Or maybe we did, yeah, maybe I am just being paranoid over nothing, maybe we did use protection and somehow I forgot, yeah, he seems like a responsible guy, I mean he has his bright baseball future to think about so he can’t just be out her
Last Updated : 2024-10-02The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: A QUIET PLACE
VALENTINA’S POVI don’t know if I have ever felt as disposable, as worthless as I did yesterday, he… he was so different, so unreachable, so beastly and when I felt like I had somehow been able to scale through his tough exterior and reach the real him, I get tossed away like garbage.You think you know someone and sometimes you do but other times they become unrecognizable, like strange strangers.I watched Diego walked into the dungeon yesterday drunk, wild, rough. I was bounded vertically by two steel chains that laid horizontally each at either of my sides, I had been like that for seem to be a day, with nothing to eat and no rest, constantly taunted by the guard. This is the dungeon, it was built by Diego’s father, Raphael Fernandez but modified by Diego, the Devil.It used to have just a bared Steel exit with tiny slits but now the steel bar contains motion sensor that shoot up electric currents upon touch so the thought of escaping might be dangerous. I can hardly move without

YARA’S POV *You should come out with me tonight, I promise I can take your sadness away.* The first text read. The sender was someone I did not expect, someone I do not really know, someone I had hated for the longest time for reasons that are not even mine. *Someone is coming up with some clothes for you, if it’s not up to your taste, you can send it back, Then i will have someone take you out shopping* The next text Said.*I just want you to be happy Mon Chérie, I really don’t like that little frown on your face.* The last text read. He loves me! He actually loves me! I can’t help but smile into my phone, I hugged my phone and did a happy dance before going to lay down on the bed with my hand splayed out horizontally at my sides, I finally exhaled a breath that I did not know I had been holding.I do not know Raphael to be such a romantic, I mean he gets me gifts and stuff but Mon Chérie? He went a little French on me, okayyy.I got into the white bath room that was folded up in

The devil’s new plaything WAITING TO EXHALE
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW I got down from the plane, it’s sunny now, not scorching hot though, just the right temperature like the sky decided to finally smile after the long period of snows. It is January now, December and the holidays is over.December, Christmas was really nice, I spent it with my sister, we watched cheesy Christmas movies while drinking hot cocoa and eating cookies. It was the best time in a long long time, i am getting a little bit homesick just thinking about it. I am in Seoul now, I smile to myself I take in the environment, it’s a little bit busy here at the airport, there are people going and people arriving, there are families welcoming back their loved ones and people saying goodbye.I got my luggage and walked down, I got a taxi and headed to the University. The Taxi stopped in front of the large university accommodation. It looked happy, beautiful, the grasses, trees, the statues, the architecture, everything sat right with me. I stood in front as I checked
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER HUNDRED: THE SKY MIGHT BE FALLING BUT I’LL HOLD YOU TIGHT
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW “So how are you feeling today?” My therapist Nia asked. It was hard the first time I was here, the thought of baring myself completely to a stranger made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Therapy felt a bit complicated, being vulnerable did not seem great but it’s been two months now, I think I am getting better at it.“Better, I feel a bit better. I still have the panick attacks sometimes but I think it will all get better eventually.” I said with a smile on my lips, I stared at the pastel colored walls, at the little posters on them. ‘Breath in breath out you’ll be alright.’ One of the posters said, I believe it. It’s taking a while but I can see the improvement.I moved out, moved to a new area, got a new job, crafted new routines for myself, I feel like everything would be alright… eventually.I’m still learning somethings and unlearning over things, I wake in the morning do a little self affirmation, I try to breathe my way to serenity whenever I feel anxious, I
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-NINE: IF THE WORLD WAS ENDING YOU’D COME OVER RIGHT?
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW I feel so helpless right now, I feel so… tired so drained.I cannot do anything about the situation, i cannot help, make it better, nothing I do will make Ava better now. Most times, in most situations money solves the problem, I have a lot of that but now even that cannot help. We just have to watch and see what happens like what the doctor said. It is a horrible feeling being helpless, not knowing what would happen next, being uncertain, feeling this lump of grief and sadness in the pit of your stomach.She lost a lot of blood, the bullet might have damaged some vital organs in her chest area, the bullet is still in her, it might be completely shattered now making it difficult to find all its pieces. The doctors just keep giving us information that makes the situation worse than it already is and now we haven’t heard from them… the doctors for a while now, they have been in that room with Ava for sometime now, we don’t know what is happening, we don’t know wh
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-EIGHT: HIS CRAZY MATCHES HER MADNESS…
RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW This should be interesting, I wonder who she would pick; her daughter or her lover, I am actually genuinely curious. I watch her intensely, this Sanchéz girl, it’s funny because I watched her grow up, I watched all of them grow up well almost all of them except the little girl Ava. She seems like a nice kid it’s such a shame that she would be dead soon, they would all be dead soon regardless of who Valentina picks, I am just interested in her choice, I am always interested in how the human mind works.Her choice does not mean I would not take my revenge anyway. They all die anyway, every single one of them, I like a clean job that’s why I get things done by myself… most of the time.“Clock is ticking Valentina, thirty seconds more.” There’s tears in her eyes, she looks from Diego to Ava with the gun in her hand. Her daughter Ava looks scared I can’t blame the five years old. Ahhh Drama, I love it.“Shoot me.” Diego said frantically to Valentina, that fool alw
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-SEVEN: NO IN BETWEENS
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW There is this girl who had tried to escape yesterday, she looks no older than seventeen, she looks frail and pale, like everything has been stripped away from her. This girl makes me question the love I feel for Raphael. Amelia, seventeen year old, She has been continuously abused, constantly raped by Raphael Fernandez since she was twelve, I was brought to tears by her story, it is so… inhumane what happened to her… how could I have been so dumb to have fallen in love with such an abuser?! I cannot look at him the same, in fact I never want to see him again, I hope Raphael Fernandez gets the punishment he deserves. I looked at the flash drive again, this can get Amelia the justice she deserves, this can bring Raphael the punishment he deserves.I hand this flash drive over to Amelia, we have been plotting her escape for sometime now, me, her and one of Raphael most trusted employee. This employee has been on Raphael’s payroll for the longest time, he was the o
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-SIX: SEND ME AWAY
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW.When I saw him standing there at the door way in a grey hoodie, I thought I was imagining things, I thought I had finally gone crazy from loneliness, I think I had let psychosis get the better of me because of how much I miss Diego.But the he moved closer and closer to me, he looked very real, very present, very… there but I did not want to believe it, three months! Three months and he is here now? I had mourned him, I had blamed God of being unfair to me, I had fought God for taking my Diego again so I could not believe that Diego was the one standing in front of me.I ran into his arms with tears in my eyes, I never thought I would ever see him again but thank goodness fate is being kind to me by bringing my Diego back. He hugged me tightly, he hugged me like I am the breath in his lungs, I have so many questions, many things I want to know but for now I just leaned into his hug, enjoying the comfort that it brings.“Diego!! I missed you so much.” I heard
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-FIVE: SILENT MORNING
RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW “Where the Fuck is he?!” This bunch of incompetent idiots! How the fuck did Diego escape?! I have everyone lined up in front of me, everyone down to the chef and the butler, they are all so stupid! How could they let this happen! If I don’t get a reasonable answer in 0.1 second every body’s would be spun out of their necks, it wouldn’t make any difference since they are brainless already! Brainless enough to let Diego escape!There have to be a snitch, a betrayer, a two faced idiot amongst these fools because there is no way that Diego escaped all by himself, this place is heavily guarded, there are guard at every single point so someone must have help that spawn of mine.“There is an enemy amongst us, the person who helped Diego escape can either come out now or be fished out.” I studied them one after the other, nobody came out, it’s alright then let the show begin.I dragged the head of the domestic staff out first, she usually knows all the gossips I bet
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-FOUR: ALL SHADES OF BLUE
DELVIN’S POINT OF VIEW It is my wedding day today, I should be happy but I am not, I feel like my life is spinning out of control, I feel like my life is spinning in a direction that I don’t want it to… everything feels so… wrong, so out of place, it feels like I am about to make the worse mistake of my life.Maybe I would have been happy if I was getting married the the only girl I have ever loved. Zara. But Anyway, this has to be done, this will strengthen the alliance between my family and the Perrozos, this is good for business, it will help my father campaign, it will give us the opportunity to merge our companies together and I will be the CEO of this new company.Marrying Maddison Perrozo is what is best, it is what our families want.“My man! It still feels like a yesterday when you were a playboy out here on these streets causing havoc and now you a getting married?! I still can’t believe it!” My annoying brother Hunter said as he patted me playfully on my back.I took my ph
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-THREE: THIS IS GOODBYE.
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW “These past few days has been hell for me, I want to be in your life forever Zara, I can’t… cannot function without you by my side.” Delvin said, his eyes were focused on me, his eyes… they held untold emotions, they held a passion.I swallowed, I have to stay strong, I have to follow my plan, I have to not feel, I have to choose myself, I have to stay alive.We are at a completely empty lounge, there are gaming screens and equipments on some corners of the lounge, some the lights at the corners blinked slowly. I stare one of the screen, it is completely blank but I still stare at it.I don’t want to look at him, I don’t want all the feelings I have for him to come up to the surface, I want him but I also want to stay alive, tonight is the last time I will ever see him.I don’t want to look at him because looking at him will make it harder for me to leave him in the past, looking at him will make it more difficult for me to prioritize my life over our love.Lovin
