Devil Beside Me - Chapter 3



***Charles***
...

I watch her leave the room before I heave back a sigh.
Maybe what Im doing to her is immoral but I dont give a shit.
I thought I finally found happiness, but it turned out to be an ugly lie.
Everything was a big fucking lie.
After the woman I loved left me on the altar and ran off with another man, life is just... emptiness.
I now see the world in black and white. There is no longer beauty in life. Its all fake.
I changed for her. I stopped fighting. I studied hard so I could take care of her in future.
I wanted to become the person that she could rely on.
Who knew she ended up falling for that bastard instead...
That day when she left me, I gave in to the real me.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.
I became who I was before: a monster.
I no longer give a shit.
Not after that bitch cut my heart into fucking pieces and left me to die.
Fighting is what I do best. Its the only way to feel empty when my heart is crumbling.
It helps to numb the pain. So I let myself bleed until my heart feels nothing.
When I saw those two street punks tried to lure a woman into their web, I stepped in.
It wasnt to save her, I did it because I wanted to see blood.
I wanted to feel blood and inflict pain.
She turns out to be an ungrateful whore...
Which is a pity, especially since she's worth to look at.
That mane of red hair... its like a river of blood.
And they flowed brightly under the moonlight.
I had the urge to bury my hands in her hair and inhale it.
I planned to leave her. I didnt care why she was desperate enough for money.
But when she lifted her large brown eyes at me, I stilled.
And my dead heart started to beat.
Her eyes reminded me of her, the woman I loved.
It was that same look. Even though she looked weak outside, but behind those eyes held her spirit.
And her spirit soared behind those glassy eyes in defiance and I wanted to yank her and kissed her senselessly.
It was why I gave her the money. I wanted her to stay by my side.
So I can break her spirit until she lies broken on the floor.
Im going to break her into pieces.
Like me.

Devil Beside Me - Chapter 12

***Kai*** … We visit my brother the next day. There is still that painful ache in my chest whenever I think about my brother. I'm still in pain, but I am slowly healing. Charles holds my hand the entire time as I talk to my brother. Telling him I'm sorry. And telling him goodbye. “Lucas, I promise I will take care of your sister for the rest of her life. And I will make her so damn happy. I will love her with all my heart, brother-in-law,” Charles says. “Brother-in-law?” I raise my eyebrow at him. “Of course. If you are to be my wife, then he's my brother-in-law.” “What kind of proposal is that?” I push him. “Shouldn't you ask me and present me the ring first?” Charles rolls his eyes. “Fine woman, we'll buy the rings later. Will you marry me?” And that question fills the last crack of my soul with his love and strengthens me. “I like that very much,” I whisper. Charles and I walk through the fields, hand in hand. I feel like I'v...

Devil Beside Me - Chapter 13 (End)

***Kai*** … I fix my wedding gown in front of the mirror and take a deep breath. This is it. The big day. I wish my parents and my brother are alive to see me married off to Charles. I feel sad that my dad won't be able to escort me to the altar and hand me over to the groom. Some of the staff is here helping me with my gown. My palms are sweaty and I'm nervous, but at the same time, I'm excited. I trace the permanent ink on my arm. Kai Benedict. That sounds pretty cool. The door opens and Charles slips in. “Charles! You shouldn't be here!” I say. “She's right,” one of the staff says. “It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.” Charles ignores her and march up to me. He cleans up nicely. He's wearing a black, tuxedo suit that tailored just for him. He looks so good and I'm tempted to undress him straight away. “There's no such thing as bad luck,” Charles says. “Not when I'm about to marry m...

Devil Beside Me - Chapter 9

***Kai*** … “Where are we going?” I ask as I got into his car. I’m wearing a white, cotton dress with jeans. My eyes look appreciatively seeing Charles in a sleeveless shirt, exposing his strong muscles. With his sunglasses on, he looks like a celebrity. “There’s this movie that I want to watch. Then I want to stroll down the high streets and have lunch.” “Sounds like a date,” I say jokingly. Charles starts the car. “Think whatever you want,” he says without looking at me. We’re in a theatre watching a rom-com movie. I never knew Charles is into these kind of stuff, but instead of watching the screen, Charles watches me instead. Sometimes he has that hungry look and I turn away, pretending I didn’t see. I feel afraid. I haven’t felt happiness for so long. I’m afraid if I get too happy, then life would throw me back into the gutter. But when the movie ends, Charles grabs my hand and takes me outside, his hand still tightly clasped on mine. He makes me fee...
