Devil's Temptation

Duce’s POV "Are you leaving?" Grace, my best friend, asked from the other line when I answered her call. There are so many reminders from her that I just shrugged my shoulders too. I already know the consequences of the thing I’m going to do. I’ll probably lose my peace of mind after doing this thing. “I already bribe some of their employees. Just answer their question,” she added. I just shake my head there. We really did everything to get here. We even bribe his secretary just to resign. Well, I give her a job immediately. I even doubled her salary now. I soon reached the building owned by Falcon. The building was owned by the fiance of my stepmother. I tried my best not to get some attention. I was a little taken aback when I saw some sexy secretaries here. “She looks like the daughter of the owner of Jia Cosmetic, right? Why is she applying to be a secretary?” I can still hear the whispers of the employees. Many already have a high standard of living but are applying to be his secretary now. Well, looks like Nicolas Abaddon can really get any girl he wants. I wonder why he wants to marry my stepmother instead? I just shrug there. Why the heck am I even curious about them? The only thing I needed to do is seduce him to take revenge for my father and brother. I waited patiently. I rarely wait for someone because they are always the ones waiting for me. When I was called, I quietly went to the office, there were two old men on both sides of Nicolas Abaddon. "Amethyst Manalastas," he mentioned my name. That's the name I use to apply here. I use my Amethyst because other people don't know that name either. “You’re hired. You can start tomorrow. ” I smiled. It seems that the bribe we did to them was really effective. The smile just disappeared from my lips when I met the eyes of Nicolas who was staring at me. I almost had to cover my face because he was just focused on my face. His eyes were still the same when I first saw him in person. That same intense eyes that as if looking into my soul. Flashbacks “Of course, we wish for your happiness, Niko, but before you get tied, get laid first! ” laughed the man. I also felt like they were already opening the box. I was a little nervous. Damn it! You are the one who wanted this, Ducerra! Do it! I was slightly taken aback by the different atmosphere of the place. The shouting also started. I immediately saw in my front, my stepmother’s fiance. Nicolas Abaddon. It was like a king sitting on his throne while his eyes were also looking at me. There's something his eyes are telling me. Danger. The screams of the people inside were immediately heard, especially when some women who were also in the boxes earlier started dancing. They're three. They approached Nicolas Abaddon's friends. Grace instructed them that I would be the only one to dance in front of my mother's fiance which was what I did. I let out a wide grin. I tried to think that they were not watching at all. It seems that the only person I see right now is Nicolas Abaddon. I started to move my hips gracefully. My eyes are only looking at him. I smile sexily before walking toward him. The scream grew louder. “Maybe Nico will regret getting married!” His friends laugh. I don’t really care about what they are saying because the attention is on the man in front of me already. His eyes look like he's piercing through my body. I couldn’t help but grin before dancing in his lap. Our skins are touching each other. I know I'm really crazy right now but all I want to do is drive him crazy so that my plan can end immediately. I pressed the sensitive part of my body to him several times while grinning. I also gently touched his chest as I took him in my charm. “Want to enjoy this night before you get married, Sir?” I sensually ask while still dancing with the rhythm. If Grace was here, she would definitely tell me how ridiculous what I'm doing. She's probably going to tease me now. I'm also ashamed of what I'm doing. But that only disappeared when I felt the heaviness of his breath. I just winced when I heard those assholes' shouts. "When you're done, let me taste her too, Niko!" Those fucker said while laughing. I was no longer aware of the tightening of my grip on the man in front of me. I f*****g want to kill those people who said that. "Stop." It was as if all the hair on my body was rising when he spoke. I stopped there. He irritatedly stood up and looked badly at the people there. It looks like he has no intention of flirting back with me. Those people stopped shouting but soon laughed. “Oh, looks like Nico is really loyal, huh? You'll be tied up soon, just enjoy it first!” they said so I can't stop frowning at how asshole these people are. If they don't want to be tied up, why would they get married? If they think that they won't have fun if they get married, then don't get married at all? As if they won't be happy with their wives. And who are you to say what, Duce? Maybe you forget that what you are doing now is also wrong? I just shake my head with my conscience. “If you don't take home our gift? I'll be the one tasting her first, Niko!” a man laughed and said. He was already holding one of the women working at the Temptation bar. I can't help but roll my eyes. As if I'll let them do that. They would have continued their fun but Nicolas Abaddon already holds my hands. They screamed even louder when he pulled me away. Various comments were heard from them because of that. Gradually, the smirk on my lips slightly rose. He acted like he was a saint but looks like he's just also a man like his friends. "I know some hotels near here," I said to Nicolas Abaddon. He stopped when we were outside the hotel. "How much is your night?" he asked me. "I'm already paid," I said with a smile. He just look at me with cold eyes before giving me a check. "Go home." My lips quivered as I looked at him when I saw that he was about to get into his car. “Excuse me?! I already told you— ” Before I could finish what I was about to say, he got out of his car again before he put the coat he was wearing on my shoulder. “I don't like people like you. Don't have s*x with those people's insides or just have protection. HIV is dangerous,” he coldly said to me. My eyes just widened when he started his engine. I couldn’t believe just looking at his car. My lips parted and a few minutes passed before I realized what happened. "Did he just f*****g reject me?" I whispered, questioning myself before discarding the check I was holding. End of Flashback "I'll see you in my office." I just stopped thinking when he spoke. That same deep voice is as deep as the ocean. "Follow him, Ms. Manalastas," one of the guys from his side said. I did follow him. I couldn't help but feel nervous while following Nicolas Abaddon. When I entered his office, I couldn't stop the smile on my face. It looks like my old office in America. I sigh. If I want to go back to my old life, I should do my revenge on my stepmother faster. I should take my brother with me before anything else. I slowly walk towards his table. I sat in front of him. I purposely slowed down the sitting because I noticed the way he was looking at me. "You may start tomorrow. Your room will be outside. I guess you already have ideas for your work, right?” he asked me so I nodded to him. He just let me know all the things I should remember. I just listened. I also have an idea about the job I'll have because just like him I'm the CEO of our company in America. I even snorted when I noticed that we wouldn't see each other much because all his window blinds were closed. "Any questions?" he asked. "Nothing at all, Sir," I sweetly said. Looks like he didn't remember my face at all. Of course, I changed my face a lot. He won't be able to see me. I was wrong earlier. I shouldn't have avoided his gaze, that's why I tried to do it now. I didn't take my eyes off him. I just met his cold eyes before I slowly smiled at him. "You may go," he said but I remained on my seat. He was the first to take his eyes off me. “Can I tour around, Sir?” I asked so he looked at me. "Suit yourself." I stood up again. I just watched his office for a moment before I left. I really can't see him here. There is only one table outside, it looks like my table. I shrugged before walking around. "You're already hired, Miss?" a man I bump with asked. "Sir really likes gorgeous things," he said with a laugh. I didn't pay attention to what he said and was about to pass but heard that the food he was carrying was for Nicolas Abaddon. "I can do you a favor. I'll give it to him," I said, smiling at him. I could see the surprise on his face before he gave the coffee and the food. When I returned to Nicolas Abaddon's office, he was really busy with his paperwork. I slowly walked towards his place. "Sir, your coffee is here," I whisper before I lean on him. I saw a glimpse of his emotion but after a while, his face returned to normal. The iced coffee is two. When I put it down on his desk, I meant to sway it by his side but because I suddenly got worried about his files, I threw it on myself. I immediately panicked. Even Nicolas Abaddon held me because of that. "Are you okay?" he asked while getting some tissues from his table. He stood up to wipe it but when he realized what he was doing, he immediately handed me the tissue. I snorted when I saw that my white clothes suddenly became brown. I immediately removed it but I could see Nicolas Abaddon's lips parted. He frowned while looking at me. "Are you going to go outside looking like that, Ms. Advertise?” he asked bluntly before giving me his own coat. Damn. Can I really do this without ruining my own plan?
