4-5-6.
My heart beats normally.
7-8-9.
My vision is clearer and I remember where I am and what I was doing.
10.
Fuck.
Another stab inside his abdomen, pushing that blade deeper in his flesh, seeking for more blood.
A scream. “STOP IT! Fuck! You motherfucker!”
Now I’m finally here again.
Zaidan manages to wheeze out some shit between two tortured gasps. “You’ll regret this,Dyavol,” he spits, blood mixing with his words. “She’ll see that you’re just the devil, and when she does, you’re going to hate yourself for that, and I will love seeing it.”
An honest chuckle escapes my throat, my grin widening as I respond, “You underestimate the depths of my insanity if you think you’ll ever live to see the consequences of this, Zaidan.”
I grab my gun and shoot him in the head. One shot, between the eyes. And he’s fucking dead. Finally, one less bastard on this earth.
Just a few million more to go.Depressing.
See what she’s doing to me? She’s making me lose my mind over someone as insignificant as Zaidan.
Making me feel that shit again.
That’s why she needed to be shattered all over again.
Because I felt it,life. So vividly that it took me back to that night.
This woman is playing with fire, and she doesn’t even know how to handle the flames.

ELIJAH
Alone in this abandoned building, I waited for Niko to show up with Zanae.
Yesterday’s memories lingered, replaying the scene where she struggled to hide her arousal and maintain composure in front of her father and that now-dead idiot.
Who in their right mind would even think of marrying her when I’m here? They’d have to be certifiably nuts. Even in death, I wouldn’t allow this fucking nonsense.
My little Zanae wasn’t mine entirely yet.
And her father is still too alive for my liking. Too ambitious with his legacy, too insane trying to marry her off to someone other than me. As if I’d just watch that in silence.
Stupid.
The Devil would never not own his Lilith.
Seeing Elias wasn’t new; I’d grown up seeing him. Though I craved to devour his heart and watch him die slowly, I knew that time would come.
For now, I’d content myself with having fun with his daughter.
I couldn’t tear my eyes away from that star necklace. Even if her father wasn’t behind those gifts, he was the cause of all this.
