They reached the altar and Melena and Gestoni to hand her down to Joffrey. But before he could get his hands on her, a loud crash from the ceiling made all the guests screamed in panic.
Bullets started raining and some men in black entered the church. People were running towards the doors. The Farrows family soldiers pulled out their guns and exchanged fire. Devon swallowed hard, a tinge of hope swelled in her. This is it. It's her chance.With all the force in her, she bit Joffrey's hand and ran towards the side of the church as what Ariane had told her."Devon! Get Devon!" Joffrey ordered.She began crying again when men began running towards her. Her high heeled shows are slowing her down as well as her heavy wedding dress."No... No! No!" she shouted when she reached a dead end while the guards are now closing on her."Devon! Here!"She turned to her side and saw Ariane opening a gate for her. Devon wriggled her feet to throw away her shoes and run towards her friend."I thought it's just a bomb. Why are there goons?" she asked while Ariane is busy closing back the gate."It can't be helped, Devon. That's just the way it is."She pulled her by the hand and together, they ran as fast as they can towards a car. Ariane went into the driver's seat and immediately rammed the engine."They are still going after us. That's my dad's guards in the two cars behind us.""I see. Joffrey won't let you out easily," she muttered and took a U-turn but a car swerved to our side and almost rammed us."Ariane!" She jolted out of her seat when a bullet penetrated the window shield and pierced Ariane's shoulder."Oh my god! Ariane! You are bleeding!"Ariane cannot help but stop the car. She looked at Devon intently while gasping for breath."It's time we part our ways here. You have to save yourself now Devon. I can only go as far as this. Go now. Run away from here."She shook her head. "I can't. I can't leave you like this! No!""Listen, you have to. I'm not going to die, I promise. You have to go now! You are running out of time."She wiped her tears and opened the door. Even if it's against her will, she has to do what her friend said."I swear I will come back for you."She tore her veil from her head and lifted the gown and began running again. She didn't dare to look back. No matter what happens she will get away from here.It might seemed impossible and how she wished that she had other someone to rely to but at this point, she will only have to rely to herself.A tire screeching caused Devon to stop running. She's out of breath and her heels are scarred and bleeding but she doesn't care.A motorcycle stopped in front of her and a man in a leather jacket threw her a helmet. She can't see his face because of his mask so she retreated a little just to be sure. The man laughed and slowly pulled down his mask."D-Daemon?" she asked while in deep shock."The one and only, princess.""What are you doing here?""Giving you a ride? Or would you like to go back to your groom and finish the wedding?"She looked back to see Joffrey's car approaching her."No... N-no. I don't want to marry him." Devon stepped towards Daemon who's grinning from ear to ear."Then will you come with me, then Farrows?" he inquired and put his hands on his pockets."Yes, I will come with you. Just help me get away from him. Please.""Ah, ah," he stopped her when she's about to mount the motorcycle. "You must be forgetting what we've talked about. The condition you need to fulfill in exchange of protecting you."Say yes already, Devon, her mind kept nudging her. Surely it's more acceptable to marry Daemon than Joffrey."What if I fail to bear you a son? What will happen to me?"Daemon shrugged as if he's already thought about it through and through."One year. I have to give you a year to give me a son. If you cannot provide me one, I will let you go and divorced you right away.. How is that?"She swallowed hard and nodded. "I'll take that. A year and a son. I can do that for you, Daemon."A grin slowly emerged on the corner of his lips. "Very well." He held out his hand to her. "Deal?"She accepted his hand. "Deal."With so much ease, he pulled her hand to his body and hoisted her waist and helped her mount on the motorcycle."Wear your helmet, princess. I don't want your head flying around."Daemon drove like he's in a speed race with a devil. Before she knew it, he already lost the chasing cars and were pulling in front of a house at the border of the district."How did you know that it's today? Did... Did Ariane asked for your help?"He walked to a car and opened the door for her."You have to marry me and give me a son, Devon. That's the deal I made with your friend. You agreed and I'm not going to take it lightly if you're taking back your word. Are you?""No... I'm not.""Then get inside."Feeling the weight of her drastic decision, she slipped into the car and hugged herself. Surely, her own family is angry at her especially her father. She doesn't even know if she has a family anymore after she'd done what she'd done.Daemon stopped in front of a church and removed his jacket. He's wearing a simple dress shirt underneath. He opened the door for me and held my hand."D-Daemon? What are we doing here?"The man started walking while pulling her hand."I don't need a fancy wedding, Devon. Never liked that but for your family to recognize us together, I have to marry you." He looked at her torn dress and white face. "You're good enough."That day, she married the mafia boss and the rival of her father and she then became Mrs. Druft.Devon sat at the edge of Daemon's bed and looked at the weird ghostly paintings on the wall. Her husband is showering in the bathroom while she's clutching hard at her nightie praying that it will be over soon. After the wedding, Daemon brought her to his house just across the Alley 56 to consummate their marriage."I need a son, Devon. The earlier you give me one, the earlier you will be released from our deal."His words rang into her head like a recorder."So this is the price I have to pay for not marrying Joffrey. I'll take it as it is," she muttered when the door to the shower opened and Daemon stepped out naked all the way down while wiping a towel on his head.He grinned at Devon who quickly averted her eyes. "Let me guess, you're a virgin Devon? Never had a dick in your life?"Her eyes widened, scandalized by the vulgar term he used. "Must you really say that? It's obvious that I don't have one. I would have asked them to save me if I had one."Daemon laughed and sat beside
"Your husband isn't coming home yet, Mrs. Druft. He's crazy about Maddy Johnson. Don't expect him to choose you over that woman."She flinched hard from staring at the parking area of the house when a hard bitter voice suddenly spoke from her back. She slowly turned around to see a man who has not been shaven for probably months now with a gun carelessly planted on the side of his dirty black jeans."Who are you?" She stepped back warily and looked at the door to the living room hoping for someone to be in sight.The man just laughed noticing her fear. "Henry Sean. Your knight's loyal man," he introduced himself. "Go inside and sleep. Dameon won't be back until dawn." He nodded at her and then walked past her towards the adjacent room in the main house."W-Wait Henry. Is she okay? I mean, is Maddy okay? I heard she's been stabbed. I just wanna know if she's alright now."He stopped on his tracks but did not look at her. "If I can have it my way, I wish she'd died but I can't have my
She didn't move when Daemon started kneading her breast and kissing the other. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the pleasure he's giving her. Moan, feel his hot breathe on you, she kept telling herself.His hand traveled down to her navel making circles on it before sliding his finger inside her underwear and cupping her mound.She can't help but let out a whimper."You loving it? Mhhh?" Daemon asked when her nails dig deeper into his arms when he sank his finger inside her.Pull and push. Pull and push until she felt her world spinning in pleasure. "Do you like it, Devon. Do you like what I'm doing to your body?"She nodded, her mouth open and her eyes tightly shut."I want you to open your eyes and answer me," he commanded.Drunk in lust, she opened her eyes and said yes.His hand inside her stopped moving to her disappointment. She rotated her hips against his finger but Dameon held her legs together."The next time I ask you that, you have to tell it to me in a more conv
Daemon’s gallery is teeming with clients who are keen on looking at the precious items on the glass cages that night. An ambassador from Asia is present and is busy discussing with Daemon over a glass of rum on the other side. Devon is on the far side just observing the place. Her husband talked her over in the dinner saying that she needs to be seen by his side in the events that he is invited. He will slowly reveal their marriage which means her family will know really soon about her being married to an enemy. “I don’t think you should be spying on your own husband, Devon.”She almost jumped to her feet when a voice suddenly spoke from her back. “You scared me,” she said when she saw Henry hovering around her. “Daemon does not like being watched. If he caught you snooping around him, he might suspect something.”She returned her eyes on the man who is now talking to his phone, his furrowed brows and annoyed lips made him more fearsome and handsome in her eyes. “Suspect me? For
“Did you enjoy the night?”Devon did not look at Daemon who’s driving and nodded. “I did,” she replied timidly. “Really? But you practically ignored me the whole night.”She smiled half-heartedly. “Oh you noticed that? I thought you only had your full attention to Maddy.”She is still fuming inside whenever she remembers that lipstick on his neck that magically disappeared that now she wondered if he deliberately erased it. Daemon chuckled. “I never knew you’re a jealous type of woman, Dev. That’s so sweet.”Sweet?! The hell! He found her feelings being played at to be sweet? She thought. But should she still ask why? This is Daemon Druft for heaven’s sake!She didn’t say anything until they arrive at his house. No matter how he tries to open up a new conversation, she stayed uninterested and pretended to be mute. Even when they’re already in bed, she laid to his side and closed her eyes. She does not want to see his face. if only she could sleep on the floor or outside the room, s
“Devon, someone is calling you.”Henry handed her a phone. She had been in the lawn for almost an hour now waiting for Daemon to pick her up. She’s wearing the pink dress he bought for her and the set of diamond earring hung on her ears. He told her it’s the first time he will introduce her to his world so she better looked put together.“A call? Someone was able to reach me?” She stood up anxiously from sitting on the bench and hesitated if she will accept the phone or not. Henry looked relaxed so she assumed it’s a harmless call. “Pick it up. It’s your mom.”Her eyes widened and hurriedly snatched the phone away from his hand and answered it immediately. “Hello? Mom?” Devon fought off the tears from falling. Her make-up must not be ruined or else Daemon will put her up on that room again for hours staring at the vanity mirror while they glam her up like a doll. It’s exhausting. But she missed her mom. It’s her mom. It’s been weeks since the last time she had seen and spoken wi
Her eyes widened upon hearing that voice. It can’t be… It can’t be! There’s no way this is happening! This is not happening!“What are you doing here? How did you know that I am here?” she asked while stepping back. Her knees are shaking and all the nerves in her body are trembling while looking at Joffrey who emerged from the dark and is now stalking her.“Of course, I am here to get you, Devon. I am here to get you, my wife.” He smiled creepily. “You don’t know how much I went through just to find you, the money I spent, the men I killed, and the resources I wasted just to find you so come with me now while I am still being nice.”“No!” She jerked when a pair of strong hands from her back put a cuff on her hands. “You can’t do this. You can’t take me away from here, Joffrey! I can’t marry you! I am already somebody’s wife! I am Daemon’s wife!”“Starting from today, you are no longer his wife, Devon.” Joffrey gripped her face and licked her cheeks. “You are mine from the very start
Daemon’s eyes shone like demons against Henry’s bloodied face. It has been exactly an hour since they all search for her missing wife but she is nowhere to be found. All the CCTV cameras are magically not working during the interval and there is no eye witness either so he went back to his home just in case but there’s no shadow of Devon. “I told you to keep your eyes to my wife, Henry! Now where is she?! Where is she?!”He threw him to the ground and wiped the sweat on his face. His wife is missing on the first night that he will reveal her to the world. He failed her. He wasn’t able to protect her just like she asked him to.“Relax, big boy. It’s so unlike of you to react this way. It’s just a woman, Daemon. You can still find plenty of them. I’m available tonight, Daemon. I will love you and I will make you forget her.”He shot Maddy a look that instantly made her shut her mouth. “That is my wife you’re talking about. Watch your mouth. And I don’t need you to be here, Maddy. Get o
