All Chapters of Romancing the Devil: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Dad, you can't do that to my sister!" Kiana shouted at our parents.I just bowed my head and just listened to them in their decision for my life.I lived my entire life like this. Controlled and manipulated by my adoptive parents. We're blood related because Mom is my biological father's sister. I was just adopted by them when my parents died due to plane crashed when I was just five years old. And because Kiana was missing that time, they want me to be their own child. To fill the emptiness they're feeling.They legally adopted me months after my parents burial. It is also because my parents entrusted me to them. I somehow, learned about to love them as my real parents. At the first ten years, they're good at me. They all treated me well. Even sometimes I get scolded, especially when they are hot-headed and beat me, that was fine with me because I knew that was part of disciplining me.Until they saw their daughter, Kiana, when I was sixteen years old. I was happy for them when they

When he pulled me gently I just let go. I was just dumbfounded until we got in front of his car.I looked at him when he opened his car door for me. I slowly got in there and put on my seatbelt. He turned around in his car to get to the driver's seat. I sit there like a statue, not wanting to move nor talk. I just look outside and refused to look at him.“Your things are already in my house,” I just turned to him when he spoke.I nodded and just covered my mouth before looking away from him. He started the engine of his car before speaking again.“You don’t have to worry about household chores, I have enough house helpers in my house. They can also help you if you want to learn some things. Just asked them away.” I shut up when he finished speaking before looking at him.“Uhm... I also have a work. But... I'll try to cook you breakfast... That's only if you want. But if you don't want it, you can't do it." I took it back because it looked like he didn't expect what I said, my offer.H

That's what really happened. After we ate breakfast, he had his car taken by a caretaker at the garage. Before he led me out of the mansion.“Are you really not going to bring your lunch, Ma'am Hailey?” asked Mrs. Juliet. A while ago she was asking me if I was going to bury the food because he said he was not sure if the company’s food was cooked properly.“Not anymore, Mrs. Juliet. Uh, I’ve been working there for a long time so I’m sure their food is good and delicious. But... Uhh... If you will insist, you can pack me a lunch tomorrow?” I promise even though it’s not really necessary.I have money for my food purchases and buy my personal items and necessities. I'm working, so even if you say I want to save money, it's embarrassing. But then... Callum is now my husband. I have all the rights to— No. I can work for my own, though. I can’t just rely on Callum for all that even though I have money and work.“Oh he's fine, tomorrow I'll prepare your lunch for work. I will remember that

When I saw that he was asleep, I sighed before standing up to get a small basin downstairs and a face towel as well. I will wipe him and change his clothes because he smells like alcohol. I can't sleep because he smells like that. Or maybe I'll just sleep on the sofa. I also removed his clothes and shoes.“Mrs. Juliet, can you please hand me a basin, even a small one, and a clean face towel. I'm just going to wipe Callum," I said when I got down to the kitchen.“Alright wait for me,” she immediately rushed to get what I needed.When she got it, she gave it to me with a frown.“Eat before you wipe your husband, Hailey. What time is it? It’s already late and you haven't eaten yet." she said while looking at the wall clock in the kitchen.“Just send it to the room. I'll just eat there after I wipe Callum.”She nodded at what I said, so I left and went straight to my room with Callum. When I entered there, I saw that he was still in the same condition and seemed to be sleeping soundly. I

“I only put up with it because you are pitiful.”Callum's last words to me have been replaying in my brain for a while now. I don't know why he suddenly got angry with me. I don't know why he suddenly left and that's what he told me.Does he really despise me so much?“What did I do to you, Callum? Why did you just treat me like that?" I whispered to myself while looking at the ring that he himself put on me on our wedding day.We've only been together for two weeks but this is already happening to both of us. We don't get along anymore.“Romance him . . .”And my father’s voice still lingers in my mind. How can I do that if he’s this cold to me right now? How can I romance him if he despise me so much?“How fucked up my life is, really.” I shook my head while leaning on the backrest of my swivel chair.After I watched Callum walk away from me I didn't talk to Dustin. He tried to talk to me but I just can’t talk to him yet when I felt so down. And for the second time, he witnessed how
