Hidden Horns

I hate this

"Is aunt Yohan going to die?" Molly asked worriedly while looking up to Agma. They are both sitting on the edge of the bed inside Molly's room.

"No." Agma replied without looking back at the kid as her mind continued thinking about what's between Nathalie's sister and Yohan. Those thoughts are going for a while now and never leaves her mind.

"Is it because she's a devil?"

"Yes, and she's immortal so you don't have to worry about her." Agma said and she stroked the kid's hair. "You should go to bed."

"I will but promise me that aunt Yohan will be fine."

"She will." Agma smiled and tucked the kid inside her blanket and pulled it up to her chest. She bent over to kiss the kid's head and walked to the door, she turned off the light and waved her hand a little before closing the door.

Agma headed straight downstairs and made a call. "Hello?"

"Who's this?" Ivy asked from the other line.

"It's Agma, can you look for Molly? I have to go back to Smith's."

"And what do you think I'm going to agree?" Ivy scoffed. She didn't hear any response from Agma which made her chuckle. "Fine, I'm on my way."

"Good." Agma said with a smug smirk on her lips.

Agma waited for Ivy to arrive in front of Chloe's house. As she waited for the girl, she saw a man standing not too far from her spot. She squinted her eyes to see him better and when she did recognize the man, the expression of her eyes turned into a venomous one.

"What are you doing here?" Agma asked.

"Just watching you." The man said as he stepped out from the dark. "You know, it's been a while that we can talk without Yohan around."

"We don't have anything to talk about, just go before anyone can see you."

"Oh come on my little sister—."

"Shut the f**k up Asmo, I have no timr for your bullshit!" Agma growled at him.

"Ouch, why are you treating your older brother like this? Yohan wasn't even around—."

"I said shut the f**k up!" Agma yelled, losing her patience. She was about to turn her heels when a car stopped in front of her and Ivy stepped out. Her eyebrow automatically raised when she saw Asmodeus talking to Agma.

"What is he doing here?" Ivy asked with crossed arms.

"I don't know." Agma said while glaring at her brother, as if she's telling him to leave.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Ivy asked again.

"No." Both Asmo and Agma said.

"I'm her broth—." Asmo didn't have the chance to finish his introduction when Agma suddenly attacked him. He was thrown at the road and rolled multiple times before his body hit the tree across and he made a hissing sound.

"What the hell?"

"Molly's inside, I'll get going." Agma said, ignoring Ivy's reaction. "Can I use your car?"

"What the hell was that? What's going on here?" Ivy asked, still in shock about what just happened.

Asmo stood up and shrugged the dirt from his shoulder and he tilted his head sideways with a creepy smile on his lips. "You really want to do this, Agma?" He asked.

"I said leave!" Agma shouted, her veins were visibly popping out madly on her neck.

"Fine." Asmo said in defeat and threw his hands in the air. "I just wanna check on you."

"Check on her? Why?" Ivy asked, looking back and forth to Agma and Asmo confusedly.

"You don't have to, as long as I'm with Yohan, I'm good." Agma said, fully ignoring the confused woman. "You should leave."

"What does Yohan have that I don't have?"

"Asmo please, leave and never bother me or talk to me again." Agma begs, her shoulders slumped down with a deep sigh and she finally looked at her brother. "Tell them I'm fine." She added.

Asmodeus stared at his sister for a few seconds before nodding his head knowingly then he smiled. "I'm going to leave now, but I can't promise that we won't meet again sooner." He said before taking a glance at Ivy, who's still looking at them confusedly then he turned around and stepped into the darkness and disappeared.

"What the hell was that? Where did he go?"

"Why do you keep asking a lot of questions?" Agma sneered at Ivy.

"Of course! Why did he mention my lord? Why does he talk to you like you've known each other for so long? Isn't he a new model in our agency? What's going on?" Ivy bombarded, but Agma just shook her head and chuckled.

"I don't know if I could trust you about this, but since you saw us together then I guess you won't stop asking me about it but please don't tell it to Yohan." Agma said and she let out a soft sigh before looking at the dark where her brother disappeared. "Asmodeus is my older brother."

"Okay what?" Ivy asked ludicrously, then she laughed mockingly. "You're a demon, how will it hap—." Ivy paused after she realized something and her eyes slowly widened. "Asmodeus? You mean the devil with a sin of lust?!"

"Yeah."

"Oh my freaking pepperoni in a pizza with f*****g pineapple! Seriously?!"

"You're reacting like I don't have the right to have a sibling."

"No, but the fact that your brother is Asmo and he's our new model is what surprised me." Ivy laughed. "I really thought he's a human. Now I could understand why every women wanted to f**k him even if they seems don't stand a chance at him since he has his eyes for Chloe—."

"What?"

"Oh, you didn't know? He likes Chloe and he asked her out."

"But Chloe is getting married." Agma said.

"That's ridiculous, Chloe loves my lord."

"No, I'm telling the truth. Actually, I'm heading to Smith's because they will have dinner with Chloe's soon to be husband and in-laws."

"No freaking way!"

"I think I should go. Give me your keys." Agma held out her hand and Ivy handed her the car keys.

Chloe went straight to the bathroom inside her room after the argument with Yohan. She washed her face and stared at her reflection at the mirror. There's no way in hell she could deny that she cried because of her puffy eyes.

She was hurt and mad but at the same time, she was worried about what's about to happen. She didn't want all of this. Marrying a guy she doesn't even know makes her regret her decision of coming back. She should've stayed in New York and lived the life she used to be.

Meeting Yohan turned her life upside down. She was fine living alone and doing what makes her happy without having consequences. But since she came back, she regrets everything.

The only exception is her feelings for Yohan. She never regretted falling in love with the Devil. In fact, she was happy. After so many years of being aloof, after all the pain she had gone through after her break up with Harvey. She felt again the feeling of getting in love.

Though at first she was confused because Yohan is a woman after all and she hasn't had a crush on a woman before as far as she could remember. Things just became different when Yohan smiled for the first time and her heart thumped so loudly inside her chest but in a good way. From then on, she had realized that that is not only a simple crush. She likes Yohan, actually she loves Yohan.

But the other significant didn't feel the same way. This will be her first rejection in life after getting cheated on. That's why her pride consumed her and she made a decision by accepting the offer of her mom without even thinking.

"Chloe, be ready. They are arriving soon." Mrs. Smith said outside her room. She waited for her daughter's response but didn't get anything. She's still in shock after everything she had found out inside her husband's office, but she decided to put everything away and believed to her husband that they would stop Yohan from taking Chloe's soul by getting married. "Chloe sweetheart."

"Fine!" Chloe yelled and that's her cue to walk away.

"You'll be fine, Chloe." She whispered.

"I hate this." Chloe mumbled as her tears flowed down again. She tried to wipe them but it kept falling down like a floodgates just had opened and she was starting to cry nonstop.

"Chloe." There's a soft knock from the door accompanied by a gentle voice calling her name.

Chloe was not sure if she should get the door or not. But she needed someone to cry on, even if she's the least person she wanted to see aside from Yohan. She dried her tears and walked to the door. She heaved a deep breath to recompose herself before pulling the door open.

"What?" She asked with her infamous resting b***h face.

"I know you don't want to see me nor anyone right now. But I felt that you needed me." Jess said as she stepped inside even if she wasn't invited to come in and sat on the edge of Chloe's bed.

"Who told you that you have the right to sit on my bed?" Chloe scoffed as she shut the door closed.

"No one." Jess shrugged her shoulders. "Anyway, I have a question."

"You're unbelievably crazy." Chloe chuckled.

"Yeah I know so I have a question." Jess repeated. When Chloe didn't utter a word, she continued. "Are you sure about getting married to a guy you didn't know?"

"Do I have any choice?"

"Yes, run away with Yohan." Jess said while staring at Chloe's eyes directly.

"For what? For giving her a chance to take my soul whenever she wants?" Chloe scoffed.

"Look, I know that you were hurt for what she said, but she was just mad that's why she blurted all those nonsensical words."

"You were right. I was hurt, now tell me? Why would I still go with her if she hurt me?"

"Because you love her?"

"That's just bullshit." Chloe hissed and she shakes her head. "I don't have to push myself to her anymore. If she doesn't like me then be it."

"Actually Chloe, I may not be in the right place to say this, but Yohan li—."

"Excuse me ma'am, but your dad is calling you downstairs. The Lucero's has arrived." The maid said behind the closed door, interrupting Jess.

"Tell them I'm coming down." Chloe responded. Then she turned back to Jess. "Thank you even if you didn't help me with anything but I still felt the need to thank you."

"You're welcome, I guess?" Jess shrugged. Chloe heaved another deep breath and exhaled before she turned her heels. But just before she could reach the doorknob, Jess called her. "Are you ready for this?"

"I'm not, but I don't want to back out either." Chloe said and she finally left her room. Jess sighed as she stood up and followed the brunette downstairs.

"Welcome, Harold." Mr. Smith greeted Mr. Lucero who entered their front door.

"We have finally come to this point. I thought that you're going to back out." Mr. Lucero said as he approached Carlo and they did a handshake.

"That's not going to happen." Carlo said and she turned to Mr. Lucero's wife. "Good evening Mrs. Lucero."

"Oh come on. Just call me Agatha." She giggled.

"I want you to meet my daughter. Chloe, come here sweetie." Carlo called and with heavy feet, Chloe made her way to greet the Lucero's.

"Good evening." Chloe greeted with a bow of his body.

"What a beautiful young lady you have here, Carlo."

"I know, she's the top supermodel in Korea and in New York." Carlo bragged.

"Yes, Carolina mentioned it to us."

Where's your son anyway? I believe that you brought him with you?" Carlo asked.

"Oh he was still in the car but he'll be— oh here he is." Mrs. Lucero walked back to get his son and dragged him in front of Mr. Smith. "Carlo, this is Martin. Our handsome son."

Chloe and Jess's eyes slowly widened when they saw Martin. Then Agma arrived and her eyes slowly widened too when he saw Chloe's soon to be husband.

"Asmo.." Agma mumbled under her breath.

"Good evening." Asmo greeted and bowed his head, hiding the smirk he had on his lips.

"You're Martin?"

"What the f**k is he doing here?"

Everyone snapped their heads to the door when Yohan yelled.
