Revenge Of The Unloved Mate

Meeting the devil

"Stop looking at that thing and come help me." Donna couldn't help but harden her voice at her daughter. It was the busiest time of day at the agency and Samantha was of no help whatsoever.

"Mom, do I really have to go? How come you've never mentioned that you had another brother?" Samantha whined as another statement was thrown her way and began skimming over it.

"If I had a choice you would've never had to meet that man, but you have to stay there for the next few months, after that I'd have figured something out. Don't ask me about him, our relationship is very complicated." Samantha frowned and furrowed her brows at her mother's word.

" If your relationship is that complicated, what makes you think he's going to agree to take me in? I'm just a niece he's probably never even heard of."

Samantha had never been more confused her entire life! Her mother had done a lot of impulsive, inexplicable things and always expected her to just follow along with her plans without saying a word, but she had never sacrificed her to hell like this. When her mother told her that she had to move in with her estranged brother, she was thinking that she was joking with her or trying to scare her into changing her major, but she was damn serious. Moving in with her new uncle wouldn't have been much of a big deal if the man didn't happen to be the devil himself; Dane Kelhart.

Dane Kelhart was a beast in human skin. The Dark Lord of Hiltonstern had a reputation to make even the most hardened men shiver and she was no exception. She had heard all sorts of bad, very bad things about him and whenever she brought that up with her mother, she shrugged it off as though she was just throwing around baseless gossip.

"He's your uncle, he'll not send you away, I'm sure of it." Her mother sure sounded confident.

Samantha stomach couldn't stop doing backflips every time she looked at the plane ticket. She'd be flying seven hours away, that was too far from home.

"What's wrong? What's with that face huh?" Her mother suddenly spoke from behind her, startling her. Samantha sighed deeply and shrunk into her chair. She took the ticket and shoved it back into her purse.

"Mom..." She began in a small voice, worried her mom will find her cowardly and ridiculous. "Mom... I seriously don't want to go there, please don't make me go, I'm your only daughter, please... Please... I'm really scared of that man... He's the Devil."

Donna hugged her daughter from behind and kissed her cheek. "Honey, what's the worst thing he can do to you?"

Samantha could think of a lot of things, so many things that are unspeakably horrible. Maybe she had to plead one last time?

"Please, mom... Please... Why can't I just move with you? I'll go wherever you're going, please, I'll quit school completely, just don't make me go there."

"it's okay, sweetheart," her mother hushed her and she thought she'd finally came around, "I really wish things didn't have to be this way either but you have to go, it's the best decision I can make for your sake. I will arrange for someone to pick you up from the airport and drive you straight to Dane's. It might seem like a lot right now but very soon you'll accept and adjust to your situation."

Samantha was utterly defeated. She couldn't cry about it like she did last time. Her mother wasn't changing her mind. She was doomed!

Samantha finally landed in Fernrin and found herself in the heart of Hiltonstern. She nervously looked around for the person her mother had assigned to pick her up after she collected her luggage. After walking through the busy airport, she was jetlagged and emotionally burdened and her supposed chauffeur service wasn't here yet. Just as she was about to call her mother, an imposingly tall, very well dressed, very dangerous looking man waved her over with barely an expression on his face. Samantha tilted her head back and checked behind her because there was no way the handsome man in an all black, expensive designer suit was actually trying to get her attention, right? Samantha kept looking for the nonexistent person he was calling until she felt large hands engulf hers and quickly whipped her neck to face the person who had just rudely snatched her suitcases. A shiver ran down her spine when her eyes met the most chilling, cold yet hauntingly gorgeous blue eyes she's ever seen. The owner of those eyes looked like one cold- hearted bastard alright, like he was better suited to being a grim reaper or demon lord. For a second she did wonder if it was the Devil of Hiltonstern himself.
