Marry The Devil Chapter 9

Her hands slowly slipped off my body.

"I think you should give ti to think about all of this. I still can't tell if I am going to be killed or not. If his majesty keeps alive till tomorrow morning, then I'll give you an answer," I said and she helped out of the bath.

She smiled warmly at . "You can call Olivia," she whispered wrapping the towel around .

"He said you can have the room tonight," she added, walking back into the room.

"He really said I could have the room?" I asked.

She nodded. "I still do not know why you are denying the fact that he has his eyes on you," she said. This ti, she was drying my hair while I sat in front of the mirror. "I am sure he couldn't do anything to you the other ti because he was worried that the both of you might get loud. You are so beautiful that he got scared of losing control," she said, teasingly and yes, I blushed a little.

"Like I said before madam Olivia, let's see what tomorrow says," I concluded.

She teased the whole night while she helped get dressed into comfortable clothes for bed.

Finally, the old woman left, reminding one more ti to marry the devil. I laid on the bed, worried.

It was trying an opportunity for , wasn't it?

If the devil truly loved , then I would finally have the chance to avenge my mother's death. Rembering her death, my heart stung.

Everything happened so fast. In just one day, my whole life changed. If I lived, I knew I was definitely going to do all that it took to make the devil want and if I didn't, I would apologize to my mother in the after life.

But a part of still feared the devil. Would I be able to live with him?

*****

I woke up feeling a warm breath on my skin. The person's breathe hit my neck and collar a couple of tis and the mont I rembered that I was no longer at my father's palace, I froze.

What if it's the devil?

I kept my eyes tight shut and my breathing got heavy. I beca both curious and scared.

Why would he be so close to ?

What was he looking at?

Maybe he was looking for the perfect place to start tearing apart.

"Pl...please have rcy on ," I stamred.

"Why should I have rcy on you?"

"Ahh!" I scread, hearing an old woman's voice. I was startled and I jumped out of the bed, only to find Madam Olivia standing with her hands kept behind her.

"Why were you telling to have rcy on you? I should be the one begging you to at least spare a little. You're so beautiful.. I can't take my eyes off you. Now I understand what his highness must be going through," madam Olivia teased, laughing.

"You scared ."

"You have nothing to worry about since you're going to get married to Francis anyways," she said and I swallowed. "I.... I'll marry him," I said.

Not because I believed in whatever story she made up about Francis and I being destined to be together, but because I wanted to see Queen Venessa feel pain...worse than the one she caused .

She smiled. "I am old and I might have a wrong taste in dressing, so I will have younger maids dress you up for . My Francis' bride must be prepared. And beautiful," she teased.

"Co in!"

Two maids walked into the room with their heads down. Madam Olivia leaned towards . "Make him obsessed," she whispered to before leaving.

*****

I had my bath and they had sitting on the chair in front of the mirror.

"Miss. Mala," one of them called.

"Hmm?"

"I heard you used to be princess Aurora from silver village. Did your father truly disown you because you killed your mother?" The maid with the blonde asked and I choked on my own saliva.

I felt a lump in my throat and a knot in my stomach.

"I don't want to talk about it," I managed to say as I tried to hold my tears.

"Why, miss. Mala? Is it because his majesty saved you and you're afraid that you might die?" She proceeded.

I was silent. "please do not utter anymore word," I said and my eyes were already laced with tears.

I didn't have the right to raise my voice and them or even scold them. I wasn't any better than them. My father already declared as nothing but a re servant.

"I am sorry, miss Mala. Do not mind Ria's ignorance. We only feel sorry for you the sa way his highness did. He must have felt so sorry that he killed Nathan and Smith on your behalf. We are just bothered that you might as well suffer the sa fate sooner or later," the other one said and I snatched my hair from her grip.

I clenched my fists, trying to hold myself back.

"Miss Mala, is everything okay? But....but don't you think it's wrong that you're trying to seduce his highness just so he can keep you alive? He might kill you if things go wrong," Ria added.

"My na is not Mala!" I scread and the next minute, the other girl was floating in the air.

It looked like there was a force strangling her.

My eyes widened and I stepped back, shaking my head.

Ria slowly turned and she looked at . "Let go of her," she said. Her voice was firm and her eyes were beaming with a mix of hatred and fear.

I shook my head. I felt chills down my spine.

"That ...that wasn't ."

"Let go of her, you witch!" Ria yelled.

"That wasn't !" I yelled back at her and before I knew it, the sa thing happened to Ria.

I stood on the spot, startled. I couldn't move a nerve. That wasn't .... I knew it couldn't be .

Both of them fell to the ground and I watched them groaning...in pain. "S...set us free," Ria begged.
