THE DEVIL HERSELF
Chapter 42

000 SAME NIGHT 000

Gloria laid down unable to sleep thinking about her son, surprisingly she picked up a boy just like she picked up Ariana. And they both have same surname but just that the boy and Ariana both lost their families in a cruel way. Back then, she was dating a guy in which she knows Ariana will never accept so she decided to keep a secret. When they were coming back from a romantic date they met a boy whom was laying on the side of the road looking died, out of pity she told Louis John Thompson, her boyfriend to stop the car. They both took him to the hospital where he was treated, some months after his recovery, he was sent to a training center to replace his strength. But he hasn't called for a long time now. John died in a car accident a year after Elias left. He cried because he was a father to him. She turned, picked up her phone and called Elias. He picked up at first ring.

"Hello mother dear" his cold voice echoed, he changed after his training and became cold just like Ariana but, he's better than her.

"Am now a forgotten commodity right?" She asked him.

"No mom, just that I have alot on my plate and calling you will just make you more worried about me " he explained.

"Of course, once any of you leaves then the person forgets his mom. Even Ariana doesn't call me" she faked crying. "Humph....... I will come visit you in Asia next week"

"Am not in Asia anymore. Ariana said it's too dangerous for me to keep staying there so am in a underground house some where in Italy but soon you both will met each other " she smiled happily. "Fine. If she says so then, it's fine. Send me her number, I just remembered that I don't have it" he replied ignoring her happy voice.

"I will do that now. Mommy loves you"

"Am not a child Sarah" he cautioned but she laughed, ending the call happily. She started typing in the number immediately and sent it to him. Maybe if they both fall in love they can get married. 000 SCARLET SCORPION EVO X

ЗАМ.........

Scarlet's body thrashed about in bed, her sheets tangled and soaked with sweat. She was trapped in a nightmare, reliving the moments of pain and terror that she thought she had long left behind. Her voice echoed through the room, a desperate cry for help.

"Mom...Elias...Aunty Mia, please..."

Diego woke with a start, his eyes flying open as he sat up in bed. He quickly turned to Scarlet, his heart raced with concern. They fucked till midnight before felling asleep beside each other. "Scarlet, mi amor, what's wrong?" he whispered, shaking her gently.

Scarlet's eyes snapped open, and she gasped for air, her chest heaving. Diego pulled her into his arms, holding her close as she trembled with fear.

"It's okay, I'm here," he whispered, his voice soothing. "You're safe now."

Scarlet's sobs slowly subsided, and she clung to Diego, her fingers digging into his skin. He stroked her hair, his touch calming, and she gradually relaxed, her breathing slowing down. "Diego, I'm so scared," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

"I know, mi amor," he replied, his voice gentle. "But I'm here. I won't let anything

As she fell asleep, Diego got out of bed and walked to the balcony, staring out

hurt you." This is the first he has seen her look so vulnerable.

the stars. His mind wandered back to the days when they were happy, carefree, and in love. They would talk and kiss, their hearts full of hope and dreams. But everything changed when Lord Smith took a closer interest in Scarlet, becoming more strict and controlling.

"He's behind this," Diego thought to himself, his eyes narrowed with anger. "And also all those people involved in the death of her parents. He will surely make them pay for it" Diego's jaw clenched. He vowed to protect Scarlet, to keep her safe from harm.

As he stood there, lost in thought, Scarlet stirred in bed, her voice barely audible.

"Diego?"

"I'm here, mi amor," he replied, returning to her side. "Always."

Scarlet's eyes locked onto his, and she smiled weakly. Diego smiled back, his heart full of love and delight.

"We'll face this together," he whispered, his lips brushing against her forehead. "Forever."

In that moment, Diego knew he would do anything to keep Scarlet safe, to chase away the nightmares and bring back the happiness they once shared. He would fight against Lord Smith's control, against the pain and fear that haunted her. He would be her shield, her protector, her love.

0000 NEXT MORNING

Morning light filtered through the curtains as Scarlet stirred, her head pounding. She blinked, trying to piece together the fragments of the previous night. Diego was still beside her, his eyes were cold staring at her. "Diego...what happened?" she asked, her voice hoarse.

"You were drugged," he explained gently. "I think Dracula was behind it. I stayed with you and it was a banger, the wall will tell you the rest" he smirked annoyingly

Scarlet's eyes hardened as the memories flooded back. "Bastard..... Dracula..." she muttered, her anger boiling beneath the surface. "He will pay for this." Suddenly he hugged her from behind.

Scarlet broke the back hug and faced him, then he bent over to lay kisses on her naked n**ples, causing a light moan to escape her throat.

"You like it?" He whispered, and she smirked.

"All you think about with your shitty head is my p*ssy, right? You haven't changed one bit"

"Yeah, it's all I f**king think about" he smiled, sparing the dishes on the table a glance.

"You should eat, I can feed you if you want, Tigress" he said, and she pushed his chest away before sitting.

"I'm not in for that lame thing bro" she said and picked a fork.

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.com is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! "Lame?" He replied, sitting beside her.

"Feeding, isn't it part of what stupid people who think they're in love do?" She replied, getting some pasta in the fork together with tuna.

"Love is stupid?" He asked with a frown feeling a little hurt from her words.

"Can you just stop talking?" She replied, and he smiled, watching as she brought the fork to her mouth. He would make her fall in love with him just like in Atlanta.

She had a taste and nodded, it's better than she was expecting.

"You're not scared? What if it's poisoned" he suddenly said, and she smiled dangerously before facing him.

"My nose was trained to recognize the smell of poisoned food, so playing smart with me will only make you look stupid"

"Smarty-pants huh?" He replied, and she ate another lift.

"Rate my cooking skills" he said, stroking her hair gently. He remembered back then in Atlanta, when he used to steal meals for her during her punishment. She's one stubborn human being who goes against anyone who stands in her way. He chuckled at the thought.

"Why the ugly chuckle?" Toyota asked, and he smiled eventually.

"I told you to rate my meal"

"9 on 10" she said, and he smiled again, still stroking her hair.

"You're smiling too much, are you planning to kill me after this meal?" She said, looking into his eyes.

"I'm just happy" he replied, and she found it hard to look away from his face immediately.

"Am that cute" he asked and she looked away immediately.

"Bastard" she cursed.
