HIS MISTRESS

SUCH NERVES

What do you want from me? Why have you brought me here forcibly?” — she demanded.

“Oh!! Sweetheart?? How many questions do you expect me to respond to at the same time?? Well, no worries, all we have to do right now is get down to business.”

Eddie peeked at him for the umpteenth time; he had a dark aura emanating from him that breathed danger and hell, but that only highlighted his underlying nature.

“Business”?? What business?? How can you just bring me in here and talk about business? I'm not one of your employees, so just free me. All this while she spoke

astonishingly, the stranger had a

smirk on his face as his hands

drew circles on her thigh.

Mmm—quite an aura, he

commended, nodding his head.

"Are you always this intransigent at home??---

Eddie looked up at him, still

wondering what his face would

be like—would it be like a

devouring mountain beast, or

would it be looks that could kill?

"And why do you care about

my characteristics?? Just

drop the facade and unmask your

face so that I can get the hell out of this mysterious

mansion of yours. ---- One of the hefty men placed a finger on his lips, looking angrily at Eddie. "Young lady?? Shush your goddamn mouth and mind the way you talk to my boss.

… Boss?? To hell with you both, she retorted. “ No…no Kelvin? Don't scold her, he double-tapped Kelvin, who seemed to be the trusted agent.

,Are you done ranting?? He questioned her with his piercing gaze on her.

Yes, I am done. She responded in a low tone, flinging her neck in an attempt to free her jaw from his grasp.

He stood up with his mask still on, giving a round of applause for her boldness… He gently took his hand to his face, unraveling the mystery…

Tadaah… he exclaimed, smiling at her as he threw off the mask to the floor.

,,What. You?? The monster that murdered my father??

The room became still like a graveyard as she swallowed hard, dumbfounded, her eyes tracing his hand as it drummed on the table slowly, as though he was counting every drum of his fingers.

“ I didn't kill your father; I don't commit homicide, he finally caught her off guard.

** He committed suicide himself. His voice kicked her out of her world of mourning, her gaze fluttered with a high level of intensity, and her eyeballs bulged out.

** That still doesn't count; you are indirectly his murderer, devil. She commented. Nickel stared at her for a while with the thoughtful expression screaming, "Finish her off”.

You will also pay for your father's debt" That's why you are here, after all; he died with the company's money. I can't blame him, though; he couldn't pay off such money easily. My bad. He held his chest, thudding on it.

She was lost in tears; her reckless dad was dead. He wasn't a father figure to both her and Vickie; he gambled and drank himself into stupor. Now, she was left with the burden of paying off, and she can't even stand this Lucifer right now….

H….how can I pay off his debt??... She stammered.
