Chapter 4
It was a bloody sight to see in the undergrown cell with fleshes everywhere, and blood dripping down Cannon’s nails, but that didn’t stop him from doing what he does best as he kept on ripping out their body parts.
“Where is the Black gun?” He asked, but none of the men standing were willing to talk.
This only aggravated his anger. Flinging his hand to the right, a head came falling at the center staring at him.
“Where is he?” He asked again.
Out of fear of dying, a black hair guy quickly answers, “he left immediately after the auction”
His eyes blaze red, with veins popping out of his face.
There was no use of the men standing before him, he killed them one after the other, tearing off their body parts with his long sharp nails, drawing out the intestines of another.
By the time he arrived home, he was clean as hell. Like he wasn’t the one looking all bloody.
On the other side, Audrey rolls down the bed, and she feels dizzy. Seeing how calm the house was, she didn’t spare any time to make her escape.
She was still dressed in the lingerie, but that was not her concern currently all she wanted was to leave.
Carefully, she took off her heels, taking gentle and cautious steps to the door. She leaned forward, quietly listening to if there was any sound coming from the other side, but there was none.
It’s her first time being in such a giant house. It can fit almost all her family members and more, way more.
Her effort was futile as she found herself entering one room to the other, unable to locate the exit.
“Fuck!” She curses as she quickly takes a hiding spot when the approach becomes known.
“He’s in the dungeon, Don!” She heard a man say.
“Take me to him!” She could easily identify the owner of this voice, Cannon, it could only be his.
Audrey was curious as to whom they were talking about, and quietly, she followed them behind.
*Inside the dungeon*
“I knew this day would come,” Cannon said, taking the throne-like seat. The gaze never left the man kneeling before him, looking all helpless and bloody.
“Spare me this once Don, I did it out of ignorance” Scorpio cried out, hoping to sway him.
Just like his nickname ‘Devil King’, it fits him best. There’s nothing like forgiveness or mercy, there’s no second chance for anything. Once you step on his bad side, you are done for it and Scorpio knew better but still decided to go against him.
“Ignorance,” Cannon said in a menacing tone,” how sorry!” He let out maniacal laughter, his eyes blazing red, gaze lowered to the man on the ground.
“You know the rules, yet you choose to go against… My rules!” Cannon said over his voice, sending Scorpio flying only to hit his back to the strong walls.
He coughs out blood. ” I didn’t know they did it, I specifically warned them” he struggled and saidSpareare me, my Lord, I promise to make them pay” he proposed.
“I don’t keep a deceit for a minion” Cannon steps down from the throne-like seat, taking counting strides toward him.
“I take pleasure in devouring your heart and tormenting your soul in hell” His hands change into that of an animal with long sharp claws just like that in a well-grownown cell.
“Too bad you will end like this, in my hands” His smiles broadened,” But I have a special place for people like you in hell, and you …”
His eyes settle on his racking chest, running up and down,” will be my snack”
With that, he plunged his hands into his chest and pulled out. Scorpio’s beating heart in his hands could be seen with blood dripping down.
He brought the heart closer to his mouth, and just when he was about to take a bite, Audrey screamed all of a sudden.
She’s been watching every scene, and she was dying of fright. ” Was he truly going to eat his heart?” She thought fright had written all over her face.
Baston was about to shut her up when he was stopped by Cannon.
“She is mine!” His tone was warning and cold”No one touches her, except me”
Baston retreats, with head, lowered in utmost respect.
Cannon stares at the pumping heart in his heart before throwing it to the ground.
Tilting his head to the side, he takes a gentle and noiseless step toward Audrey, who is dying from within.
“I’ve lost my dinner,” He said,” because of you!” He was two steps away from her.
“What am I going to eat now that my favorite is gone!” His tone was low, husky, and seductive.
Seeing how close he was getting, Audrey took two steps behind, but he didn’t stop and just kept on advancing. She increased her steps until her back hit the wall.
Her heart was pounding hard like a ranging thunder, she shivered in fright.
“I didn’t see anything, I swear” She briefly explains.
He raised a brow, and then laughter escaped his lips, compared to his usually maniacal laughter, this one was different.
“Really?” He didn’t know angels could lie”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
His words made her frown, confused as to what he was talking about.
” I… I only saw you when you were about… e-eating the h… rt” she could hardly form
her words because of how scared she was.
” Then why be scared of me? ” His reached out to her cheeks with his bloody hands,” I don’t bite, I don’t kill… I devour” He whispers in her ears, sending chills down her spine.
His bloody hands left her cheeks red. His tomb caresses her lips, leaving blood. He lowers himself and takes her lips in his mouth, licking away the blood.
Audrey’s eyes shot close at the feel of his lips on hers. She couldn’t believe she was kissing a devil, real or not, he was to her.
” It tastes so exquisite on you” He spoke out, breaking the silence. Her eyes quickly snapped open, she clung herself to the wall as if trying to bury herself.
” I wonder… ” His bloody hands trail down her neck to her cleavage. ” What you taste like, little angel” He was about to kiss her neck when she pushed him off and quickly ran away.
He smiles at her naiveness and innocence. She makes him tempted to do bad things with her, to spoil her angel-like mind and input naughty thoughts with lots of him.
As if being chased by a ghost, Audrey opens the door to the room she woke up in and quickly closes it behind her. There’s no way she’s leaving this room again, absolutely no way.
