Into The Devil’s Heart

Audrey woke up as early as six hoping Cannon would be lying by her side as always but he wasn’t there if felt so unusual for her to miss him and she hated it.

“Fuck off Audrey, let the sleeping dog lie” she murmurs to herself and walks into the bath.

If Cannon has left without informing her, then there is no need for her to fret. Maybe she can plot something else, like an escape… No one is checking her up anyway.

Her eyes sparkled at her thought but the excitement wasn’t there… Though she wishes to go far away from him, she feels so heavy that even wants to leave. Reasons unknown.

“Common, thinks straight Audrey, don’t sleep in class ” She slaps her cheeks lightly, trying to reason straight again.

Cannon is a bad influence, now she is here conflicting with herself on whether to leave or not.

If it was the first time she came into this mansion, she would have quickly run away in ever-giving space without a second thought but now, she is stuck in him… Those bad things he always does to her.

She steps out of the bath, her flawless silky body looks so enticing with water droplets all over dripping down her cleavages. Her long dark hair drips down water to her ass, sticking on her back while glittering under the shiny light.

She has never been the one to admire her body but today was different. There was an extra glow that she couldn’t brush away.

She didn’t have time to ponder about it, not like it matters anyway. She quickly gets dressed and climbs downstairs.

Baston stood patient, hands buried in his trousers. It’s as if he’s been waiting for her all day, Audrey doesn’t bother to greet him and walks to the dining, serves herself, and starts eating.

“Good morning, Audrey!” Baston spoke out breaking the silence.

Audrey didn’t spare him a glance and continued eating her food. She was super mad at him, his words last night were enough to leave her broken.

But she forgot she was the one who asked him to never treat her like a princess but rather, he should treat her like the slave she is.

“We are going shopping today,” Baston said nonetheless.

“But I’ve got millions of dresses in my wardrobe unable to wear all, why more?” Audrey asked, not understanding why he wanted to take her for another shopping. Wait, is it his way to say sorry? She thought with q skeptical look on her face.

“’cause Don asked me too, ” Cannon spoke out immediately as if he had read her thoughts. “You can get anything you want, a hoodie, sweatpants, and whatever you find good” he informs.

Audrey’s mouth hung open, eyes wide as she stared at him in disbelief. “Anything?” She asked again to be sure of what she heard.

“Yes,” Baston responded.

Audrey doesn’t know why Cannon decided to let her get whatever she wants after she was warned not to put on anything long within the mansion.

“Let’s go!” He turns and starts making his way to the door.

“But, I am still eating” Audrey complains, pouting.

“You can get whatever you want there, let’s go” he pressed on. He doesn’t have time to spare for her to keep on eating sluggishly like a snail.

Audrey stares at her plate, unwilling to let go of her chicken wings, and she carries it along.

“What’s that?” Baston wasn’t expecting her to carry the food along.

“Food, of course, you don’t expect me to trust a maniac like you” she mocks and takes a mouthful of her chicken.

She didn’t wait for him to lead the way as she walked her way to the car and made herself comfortable.

With a heavy sigh, Baston follows her behind, enters the car, and kicks off.

I thought life would be better after selling off Audrey to those traffickers but it turns out it becomes even worse. My debts and bills keep tormenting me, but the worst of all is Diana’s upcoming birthday day, she is turning seventeen and I am too broke to even go about celebrating her day. Wish there was more of Audrey to keep giving me money.

The sound of my phone buzzing from the side caught my attention, “hello?” I speak out not checking on the caller ID. Whoever it is should better speak fast before I lose it… That was what I was about to say when the voice of a certain someone left me flabbergasted.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Shawn!” I heard him call out my name over the phone but the authority that comes with it left me chilling.

“Don Wendigo?” I breathe out the only name I can think of, there is no way it can be Cannon, no one has ever seen him, except the other Mafia Lords.

“You recognize me!” Wendigo chuckles over the phone.

I could feel sweat forming on my forehead, no one dared not recognize him. Among all the Mafia Lords, He is known for his selfish and envious ways. Always wants more than he deserves. More be that he is rude, arrogant, and wicked. I wonder why he calls.

“Everyone would, I mean, you are Don Wendigo after all, the second to the supreme Don” I was shivering inside but I didn’t let it control me as I kept my stand with a straight voice.

“You think so? What if I tell you I am the supreme Don?” Wendigo sounds casual and calm.

I know what he is trying to say but I don’t know how to respond to him, I mean, is he expecting me to be happy or sad? Knowing who he is, I know just a little slip of the tongue can put my life on the platter and there, my head will be reaped off my body.

“T-that will be awesome, I mean, you deserve it” I could no longer hide my fears.

” You know, Shawn, I’ve been thinking for a while now and I realized I so much want something you have” Wendigo sounded normal which got me scared, what does he mean by something I have?

“but, it’s too bad it’s no longer in your possession but another”He continues, my mind could only lead me to one thing or rather a person and that was Audrey.

She is the only possession I had and is no longer mine. ” Audrey? ” I blurt out.

I heard him chuckle in satisfaction, ” so smart, ” he complimented, ” but brainless ” his satisfied tone was as though he would destroy me in the blink of an eye.

” B-but, she is no longer with me, ” I stutter. My heart never stops leaping in my chest as I stare at nothing, sweat dripping down my face.

“You sold her off, I know… And that’s exactly why I need you to get her back” The way he said it, it was as though it was something easy… Like I can do in the blink of an eye.

“you know she now belongs to Supreme Don, and I don’t have what it takes not even a quarter to dare him” I know how it will end, it’s either I get killed or tortured till death. Either way, I will still die.

” We both know how badly you need money, so, if you get to get her for me, I will give you ten times all that you owe and make you even wealthier than a Black gun ” I heard him propose, it was tempting and I knew if I don’t accept it, I will end up dying in my situation.

I should make money than die suffering, ” how true are your words? ” I don’t want things to end up in a bad way, it is better I get him to assure me or I won’t be able to do otherwise.

“I do what I say… Get me the girl and I will give you all it takes to be you again and more” he spoke out in an assuring tone.

My heart swells in excitement, “so I will be rich again? Not only rich but wealthy?” The feeling was so amazing, but come to think of it, why didn’t he order his men to do the job? It’s not like he lacks anything and to think that he is slightly in the position to face Supreme Don.

Well, that’s not mind to bother about. All that matters is I get my fucking ads off this chair and go make billions in the easiest and simplest ways ever.

“I will call you when I have her, and I impatiently await my rewards” Happiness is less than what I was feeling now, it’s a miracle truly but the biggest miracle happens when I see the figure of someone arguing with a red-haired man, it was… Audrey!

Life can’t be any better when I’ve got my money staring at me in the face, oh baby! Just a little five-minute plot, I will get you.

The smirk on my lips was one of victory, why won’t I be glad? Like who wouldn’t?
