SOLD TO DEVIL😈

The marriage

Emma packed her hair in a bun and walked out of her room with her bag. In the commercial bus, she found herself lost in thought, thinking about what Rican had told her about Freddie and her past life even though he wasn't detailed.

”Yoing lady, are you okay?” A old woman with smoky grey hair asked. Emma face twitched, she had seen the woman before. of course, its the woman she met at Ghoid Town.

”You?” She pursed her words and looked at the old woman who had a friendly smile on her lips.

”My child, you really have a strong fate. But, make sure no matter what, when its time tomake a decision, you dont make the same mistake you made in your previous life” The old woman uttered, her friendly smile which Emma found creepy was still on her face.

”Ma'am...” Before Emma could ask any question, the bus stopped and the old woman walked out with the assistance of her stick.

Emma face curled In thought, she had so many questions running through her mind. Rican has mentioned something about her past life and now, this old woman just mentioned the same thing.

Excluding her from her thought is the abrupt stop of the bus, she got out and headed for school.

Classes began and ended as usual. Strangely,some girls had come to Emma for friendship, they even wanted to hang out with her. Since elementary, no one had ever asked her to be friends except Adam and that's because he is gay.

”Emma, did you see cole earlier? He was staring at you every second ” Hannah with short curly hair talked, she let out a cute smile and touched Emma sweetly.

”Indeed, you should have stopped wearing glasses a long time ago, you're very pretty without them” Sarah, the school gossip girl added.

Emma kept nodding her head and smiling as they talked. The words the old woman had said to her the other time was still bothering hermind.

”What decision? What happened in the past that made her make a decision?!” Thoughts kept erupting in her timid mind.

Suddenly, a august wind blew at her face, it only mean on thing, the male god is around.

”Wife, I haven't gone for many hours and you're already cheating on me with some highschool boys. Tell me, he is cuter compared me?” He glared at her, his raspy voice pressed against her ear.

Sarah and Hannah were so engrossed with themselves that they didn't notice the pesky smirk that had appeared on Emma's face as a result of the childish behavior from Rican.

”Now you're jealous of those highschool boys ” She replied, her voice low so that only him can hear her.

”Ah!” He rolled his eyes then dragged her hand, he dragged her away from the cafeteria. Emma waved Hannah and Sarah bye. To them, it looked like she was walking fast.

”Aww, did you have to drag me like that?!” She yelled then glared at him. They were now in a desolated place, he pushed her to the wall and caged her between his hand.

He overshadowed her, his attractive face lingered over her face. Because she is short, if she didn't raise her head she would be looking at his broad chest.

He pinched her chin slightly, she was forced tolook at his foreign black eyes which had some sparkles to it.

”Tell me, those highschool boys, are they cuter compared to me?” He asked again, his face showed no emotions.

Emma seemed a little confused, why does it matter to this male god if those highschool jerks are cuter. Naturally, Rican beauty can't be compared to this jerks, they all look fake but Rican is different.

His black eyes is foreign with silver hint on them, his lips are thin and pinkish with icy lining. His nose is perfectly sculpted and it matches his moderate forehead.

”Huh?” He pressed further, she let out a small whimper and replied in frustration. ”Don't youdate compare your look with them. First off, you always dress in this old robe and your face looks ancient. For Heaven sake, you're a thousand years old!” She yelled.

Rican hardened face suddenly soften, he let her shoulder go slowly and stared sternly at her.

”Emma, you don't really mean all that you said right?” He raised his brows.

”I do, so leave me alone!” She yelled again.

Its so hard to ascertain that the male ghost is a thosand years old, his face looked so unlined.

His face turned sober but he quickly shrugs it off.

”Today is our wedding, I've sorted it out withthem. We have to go now” He uttered, his voice was a little slow and weak.

”Wedding?! Yo, old man, did I tell you I'm ready for marriage?! Can't you see I'm still in school huh?!” She yelled.

Rican let out a soft laugh, her face was so cute and small when she yelled.

”Wife, you look like a wet puppy when you yell like that” He laughed annoying her the more. She fumed and pouted then crossed her arms to her chest.

”Wife, no matter what you're getting married to me. The last time I listened to you like this, something bad happened so let's go” He held her hand and walked out of the school.

Before she could place the puzzle of his words in her head, a car had arrived and She was forced into it.

”Ma'am, I'll take you to Ghoid town now” The driver respectfully talked to her.

She nodded her head to him and smiled.

"Did you order the driver?” She whispered at him through gritted teeth.

”No, but, did you think you're married to a mere god?” He raised his brows unbelievably. Emma scoffed and looked outside the window until she fell asleep against it.

Drowsily, she felt a hand pull her against a cold shoulder. Tired, she slept comfortably. Night fall, They finally arrived at Ghoid town. AsEmma was asleep, the driver decided to wake her up. To him, it seemed like she was resting against the back seat.

As he tried to wake Emma, an unknown hair swat his hand. He ignored it and tried waking her again but the same thing happened. The driver found it strange that air could swat his hand in that manner.

However, Rican continued to push his hand away, why would he try to touch his wife in that manner. The driver's consistence annoyed him, he was about to hit him across the face when Emma suddenly woke up.

The driver's face gleamed like he had seen his savior, he withdrew his body while Rican's hand froze in the air. Emma looked at him awkwardlythen faced the driver.

”Have we arrived?” She questioned drowsily then yawned.

”Yes ma'am” He answered, his face on his stirring wheel.

Emma muttered ”Thank you” before walking out of the car.

Rican stood behind her while they walked to the High Cheif's house. The high chief is dressed casually, he couldn't believe his eyes when he set it on Emma.

”Yora?! History... History is about to repeat itself?!”Rican held Emma's hand and walked further to the high priest. He kept staring at Emma, his eyes about to bulge out. ”Yora!” He called when he couldn't contain it anymore.

Rican glared at him, his eyes reddened and he stared at the high priest with resentment. Immediately, the high priest swallows whatever word remains in his mouth.

He hurriedly went into the ancient room to take the materials needed for the wedding.

Emma stared at Rican impatiently, at the moment they are at the golden house but far away from the statue. Rican Statue looks neat and a woman stood before it requesting somethings.

She glanced at Rican and muttered; ”That woman, what is she requesting for?”

Rican smiled and looked down at her, he got lost in her blue eyes for a second before proceeding to answer her.

”She is asking for a husband. You see that woman has an Ill fate, for the rest of her life she can never find love.” He spoke and looked at the woman.

”You can change her fate right?” Emma questioned and glanced at the woman in a floral gown, tears in her eyes as she pleaded before Rican's statue.

”Yes I can but I will not” He answered brieflyand trailed his face.

Emma balled her hand and faced him with anger.

”Why? You're not powerful enough to do it, huh?! Later, you'll tell me you're not a mere god!” She scoffed at the thought and walked further from him.

Rican frowned and trailed behind her.

”Before you cleaned me up, that woman was one of the people who would spit on my statue. Seeing that I'm cleaned now, she's asking me for a favor, do you think I will do it?” He raised his brows.

Emma stopped abruptly and faced him.

”So now you want to repay evil with evil?! Oh right, you're really a despicable god. I'll go to her right now and tell her to beg god Lican instead of you. I'm sure he is nicer!” She half yelled and proceeded to the woman.

She had thought Rican would stop her but he rather scoffed and watched her march to the woman.

Emma laid her hand on the woman, with a fidget heart, the lady faced her and sniffed.

”Why waste your time on god Rican? god Lican can also answer your prayers” She scowled at Rican who retained his previous position.

The woman sniffed then took Emma's look in. Emma is indeed the true definition of beauty.

”Lican is the god of war and Rican here, is the god of Love. If I ask Lican, he would answer but I have to pay him in return.” The woman replied.

She glanced at god Lican, he held unto his sword with creepy victory laughter.

”Oh right” Emma whispered and Patted the woman's back.

She walked back to Rican in defeat, she clapped her palm together and faced him with a doll-like face.

”Just answer her prayers, is that too much?” She retorts.

Rican face curved in a smirk, he stared at her for a while before uttering, ”Is that how wives beg their husbands. Also, you know I answer her prayers, you'll pay for it” He let out a wicked grin which almost earned a slap from her.

”Fine! Just answer her prayers!” She blurted.

He smirked and closed his eyes for a while, with seconds, he opened them and said; ”Done!”

”What? just like that? What did you do?” She asked looking in the woman's direction.

”Her soul mate would find her now, he is also Ill-fated but I've created a path which would bind them forever” He answered and smiled.

Soon, a man drove into the place, he is well dressed with curly hair. He looked around until his face met with the woman kneeling in frontof Rican statue.

He walked towards it and knelt beside the woman. After a little prayer, they stood up together and talked for a while. They began to laugh slowly which brought a wide smile to Emma's face.

”You don't have to smile like that, I'm not certain they'll have a happy ending” He muttered behind her ear. She turned to him angrily.

Seeing her angry face, he raised his hand to his back and smiled like a child.

”Emma, you're really different, you don't know how to take jokes at all” He talked while he walked towards the ancient house.

”Oh, you call your incredible bad words joke?!” She half yelled and followed him.

Just as Rican was about to say another word, the high priest rushed out of the ancient house with a worried face.

”Is everything okay?” Rican asked.

”No, Rican I need your help” He announced with a worried face. Rican looked at Emma then followed the high priest.

Emma was left alone to wander around the open space, it looked like a large compound without a fence. She glanced at the statue afar, god Rican looked very neat after the clean-up, bowls of sweet and fresh fruit are arranged in its presence.god Lican looked a little sad unlike before. Although, his victory smile still seemed a little creepy. She wondered what god Lican would look like, since she could see god Rican then she would be able to see god Lican as well.

Just as she was lost in thought, an unknown voice sounded behind her ear. She turned to it abruptly and met with those milky eyes and smoky gray hair.

It seemed like the old woman was everywhere, she had her stick to support her like usual.

”My child, you need to leave here, you're not safe at all. Yora, you have to hide, you don't want history to repeat itself, do you?!” The old woman talked like danger was near. Emma's heart skipped three beats.
