“Everything You Asked For”
499 Words
A broken girl.
A perfect deal.
And a devil who loved her so much… he made her wish she’d stayed broken.
Chapter One — “I Don’t Want to Feel This Anymore.”
Cassie Vale didn’t believe in God.
But she believed in pain.
And pain had never let her down.
So on the worst night of her life —
after her sister overdosed, her mother slapped her for crying,
and her ex posted the video —
Cassie whispered a prayer into the mirror.
“I’d give anything to never feel again.
Just take it. My heart. My soul. My hope.
Just take it.”
And the mirror smiled back.
Chapter Two — He Came Dressed in Kindness
His name was Lucien.
Tall. Soft voice. No shadows.
He didn’t ask her to sign anything.
Didn’t burn her skin or twist her dreams.
He just touched her chest and whispered:
“Done.”
And Cassie woke up the next day free.
No heartbreak.
No sadness.
No fear.
Boys flirted with her.
Girls envied her calm.
Her mother apologized — and she didn’t feel a thing.
“It worked,” she whispered.
Lucien smiled.
“You made a deal. I always deliver.”
Chapter Three — But Then She Tried to Love Again
Cassie met a boy.
Kind. Gentle. Safe.
But when he said “I love you,”
she blinked and said “That’s nice.”
He cried.
She didn’t.
He left.
She didn’t care.
And that night, she screamed at Lucien.
“You took everything!”
He said, “No. I took what you asked for.”
“Then give it back!”
“You don’t get to re-negotiate with Hell, Cassie.”
But he sat beside her.
Held her.
And said gently:
“If you want to feel again…
let me fill you.”
Chapter Four — The Devil is Soft When He Wants You to Break
He cooked for her.
Drew her in a thousand sketches.
Kissed her like his mouth was made of silk and sin.
Cassie started to feel again.
But only for him.
No one else mattered.
No one else existed.
Not even herself.
She wasn’t in love.
She was ensnared.
And Lucien never stopped smiling.
Final Chapter — The Deal Fulfilled
Cassie tried to leave.
She ran.
Prayed.
Begged old priests and ancient books.
Nothing worked.
Lucien came to her that night in a burning white suit.
Knelt in front of her and said:
“You asked to stop feeling.
Then you begged for love.
I gave you both.
You’re not trapped, Cassie.
You’re exactly where you wanted to be.”
And she realized:
She hadn’t made a bad deal.
She’d made the right one.
The devil didn’t trick her.
He just knew her better than she knew herself.
And as he kissed her forehead, she whispered:
“Thank you.”
Because in the end…
She didn’t want to be saved.
She just wanted someone to ruin her right.
🔥 The End.
