Chapter 42: Angela wants the devil

★★★

Later that night, when Bernard returned home, he saw that the lights in Bella's room were still on. He didn't shout her name, but knocked on the door and got no response.

He checked, pushed the door and it was open.

He raised his voice before going in, "Bella, I am coming."

On the bed, a lady was sleeping, leaning on the headboard with a laptop in her lap.

"What an uncomfortable posture?" Bernard sighed and muttered.

He also smelled a fragrance; very mild and flowery. Sure enough, Merry brought it for Bella in the morning. She was hiding something after coming from the market.

When he asked, she created unnecessary melodrama, so he didn't bother afterward.

Bernard helped his daughter lie down comfortably. He took the laptop and rested her head on the pillow. Bernard looked at his beautiful daughter and thought of his late wife.

"I miss your mother, Bella. If she were, I would...." Bernard could not finish his words as his voice was choked with emotion.

He kissed his daughter's head and turned off the lights and left the room.

When Alexander was showering, a woman got into his room and sat on the bed. She gathered some courage and came to him. She didn't know what the result would be because no one wanted to see Alexander going berserk, at least if they were not afraid of tormenting their soul.

Alexander walked out, wearing a towel around his lower abdomen. His upper body was naked and wet. His hair was still dripping and slicked back.

At that moment, the woman quickly stood up.

"King," she addressed.

"Who told you to come inside? And who gave you the courage to sit on my bed?" Alexander angrily asked.

"Pardon me, king. I want to know if you have any orders for me," Angela said, bowing her head.

"Don't let me send you to hell again. Or if you have any death wish, I will fulfill it immediately," Alexander threatened the demoness who had come with other intentions but no longer knew what she would do.

"Please no. I don't want to go to hell," Angela paused, then continued, "Without you."

"Get out and stay away from this mansion," ordered Alexander.

Angela felt a chill running down her spine. Whereas, she thought Alexander had changed his attitude towards her. She was happy throughout the morning, so she thought of pleasing him too.

However, nothing had changed. She was hurt. Her devotion toward the devil, the king of hell, was incomparable. But she never got single leniency from the devil. Today she courage up to give pleasure to the devil but she got a threat.

Being a Demoness, they already knew they needed to please the king whenever he wanted, but she didn't get a chance to please him. Angela wanted children with him.

However, she tried many times and failed. Once he thrashed her badly because she got close to him.

She would be jealous if she saw another demoness get close to him, but she didn't see anyone. After the devil decided to live in this realm, she knew the king had intentions even though she knew those women who pleased the king had perished their souls for the devil.

She didn't bother and held her hope high of being with him forever. After coming to this realm, she tried to find the thing for which the king was here so that she could help him by finding that thing as soon as possible. If she could, there was a strong possibility of being with him.

She would do anything for him, and she was staying with Lucifer for this sole reason. She knew Lucifer was here to put up obstacles for the king. And she would help the king by staying beside Lucifer.

"Yes, my king," Angela answered, and left the room.

Alexander walked to the closet and opened it. However, his hand paused when his eyes fall on a certain t-shirt and shorts.

He grabbed them and took them near his nose. They smelled like Isabella.

He smelled it over and over. Although he did not have reactions to his face. However, he smelled those clothes like they were a drug to him.

Suddenly, in the room, a man appeared wearing a black cloak.

"I am telling you, the thing you made isn't a perfect way to keep that thing inside. We need to rebuild the thing because I can feel movements. Something has happened. I didn't know if it is because of Lucifer or someone else, but she has woken up," the reaper informed the king.

"No matter whether she woke up or not, but she didn't have the power, or no one has the power to help her out of the thing," Alexander said to the reaper.

"Lucifer is restless. Today he went to Blackhound. We can't allow him to stay in this realm," the reaper continued.

"We can't do anything. He is not a normal demon. He is Lucifer. It is just he is flying high ignoring me," Alexander said and smiled.

"Alright, then I would take my leave," the reaper vanished after Alexander ended the chat.

As the reaper left, Alexander came to the window and opened one panel of it. Suddenly, a raven flew towards him and sat on the nearby tree, looking at him.

"Playing with fire is good, but playing with me will give you a hard time," Alexander talked to the Raven and it flew in the next second.

The next day started with loud music playing downstairs, which really disturbed Bella's sleep. She opened her eyes and searched her phone to see the time. It was nine o'clock on Saturday. Finally, the weekend was here. She had no class. Plus, last night she finished the devil's work, and now she's feeling better.

Second, she was curious about the noise below. She opened the door and went downstairs, where she saw her father was closing his ears with two hands and Merry was having breakfast.

"What the hell is going on?" Bella said but didn't reach anyone's ear so she walked to Merry and tapped her shoulder.

Merry jumped up and smiled later at Bella. Isabella signaled Merry to turn off the music, as it was too loud to hear a simple word.

"Good Morning sweetheart," Merry greeted, hugging her girl.

"What is happening? Are we celebrating something?" Bella asked, looking at them.

"Yes, Bella. Somebody turned into a mad bull in the morning," replied Bernard, and Merry replied immediately to him, "Yes, after seeing the head of the rooster in the early morning."

"Haha. You two can make history. Trust me," laughed Isabella.

"Did you brush your teeth?" Merry asked.

"No. Your loud music has brought me down," replied Bella. Then she reached for her father and hugged him.

"You smelly girl. Go and brush your teeth," Bernard joked, and Bella gave a kiss on her father's cheek.

When Bella was about to step on that stairs, she suddenly remembered something. She turned her face and said, "Dad, I am going to a party today. It will be in a resort. My friends will be here in an hour."

"Whose party? Where?" Bernard asked.

"Casey's birthday today. Don't worry, only girls are allowed in." Bella cleared everything before Bernard could think about this.

"Great," replied Bernard. However, he was in trouble because his girl was partying often these days. It was also good that finally, his girl was opening up with her friends, which is what an adult does nowadays. Still, he couldn't stop himself from taking the stress.
