CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHT
Devin didn’t care about what nonsense they warlock was spewing at him here. He didn’t care about what he did or did not do, he was going to get what he came here for. Jareth’s eyes twinkled as he watched Devin carefully, like he was studying a rare creature. The man before him was quite intriguing, and he felt powerful. But Jareth felt he could take him on if it came to it, defeat him even. “I need the necklace.” Devin said simply. Jareth leaned back against the leather armchair behind him with an amused smile playing on his lips. “Everyone needs something, Mr Stone. That’s not how transactions begin.” Devin folded his arms, trying to hold back his irritation. “Alright then. How much?” Jareth started to laugh mine Devin had told him the funniest thing ever. “Y-you want to buy it? You will go bankrupt and have your soul in debt for the rest of eternity if I give you a price.” He wiped off a tear. Devin shrugged slightly. “Money, power, land, whatever you want. N
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN
Amanda sat down on the bed, taking her drink slowly as the warlord, Jareth Alatar, walked out of the bathroom shirtless with a towel hanging low on his hips. His necklace gleamed as he walked out and it was quite obvious that it was not made for decoration. Amanda tried not to stare at it too long. “You’re nervous.” Jareth said casually, walking over to the side of the bed where he placed a tiny black case. He opened it, revealing small silver instruments, scalpels, stones, all things that Amanda didn’t even want to try bothering to name. “Should I be?” She asked, flashing him a smile. “That depends. Do you like pain, dear?” “Only the good kind.” She replied. Jareth grinned, walking back to her and sitting down beside her with the slow confidence of a man who had never rushed for anything in his life. Amanda tried to hide her discomfort, seeing that something about him just didn’t sit right. He looked like he could kill someone with his eyes, but she had come too far to
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX
Amanda had never felt this invisible in her entire life. She was sitting quietly of Viktor’s living room, munching on some food and scrolling through her cracked phone. Viktor had barely spoken to her in two days, let alone offer to get her a new device. No good mornings, no how are yous, and not even his usual smartass comments he would say when they discussed before all of… this happened. He barely looked even at her. The silence wasn’t peaceful, it was suffocating. She dropped the fork and crossed her arms, glaring at the back of his head. He was sitting by the window, reading a thick old book like she didn’t even exist. “You’re ignoring me, aren’t you?” She asked. Viktor didn’t even act like he was being spoken to. “So we’re doing this now?” Amanda snapped. “I’m just some bug you’re waiting to squash?” “No.” Viktor said without looking up. “Bugs at least make noise. You’ve been sulking like a rejected puppy.” Amanda’s jaw clenched. She got up and walked over, standi
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE
Devin was sitting in a boardroom of thirty people, but it might as well have been just him. The way they looked at him said everything. They felt respect, fear, envy just by looking at him. Some of them pretended to be calm, and others just sweated through their suits like pigs in a cage. The air conditioning didn’t help them much. Devin leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled together while his lawyer finished reading the last clause of the contract. "...and that would finalise the share transfer to Mr Stone.” The lawyer said, looking at Devin. “What do you think sir?” “What I think is that it’s unfair that he gets such a large percentage, and we get much less.” Avery Stein said, looking directly at Devin. She was a powerful woman, not as powerful as he was, but she had influence, and she wasn’t afraid to speak. Devin let the head of Forstman speak instead. “That’s because you are to earn your rankings. His share values are so much bigger because his name alone p
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR
Amanda didn't stop walking around right away. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid.” Amanda muttered, shaking her head. It couldn't have been. She adjusted her bag higher onto her shoulder and casually checked the glass reflection of a nearby boutique window. There. The guy was still behind her, following her. "Not today." She sighed, speeding up. She cut across a row of shops, past the escalators, then down the ramp that led to the parking lot. Her legs were starting to ache but she wasn't going to stop. Right in front of the road, something fell from the top of the lot! A heavy trash bin that landed with a metallic crash, blocking the exit. Amanda took a few steps back, gasping, her heart racing. "What the hell?" She gasped, holding her chest and looking around in fear. "Is someone trying to kill me now?" She ran to the side of the road, her heart racing, hands shaking. But before she could take a proper breath, she saw him again. The hooded figure. The person was now st
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO
Amanda sat down with a half-empty bottle of wine in her hand and kept her eyes on the ceiling fan above her. It spun slowly, creaking every few seconds like it was bored too. She was in Luther’s house, but he wasn’t home. She hadn't spoken to anyone all day, and she hadn’t eaten either. She didn’t feel very hungry. She could still remember what Viktor had told her, and it was all she could think about. Would it do her good to agree to ally with him? She blinked hard, shaking her head. Was she really considering this? Killing Kia? She was after Devin, but then again, Kia could count as a part of him. Her hand trembled slightly as she raised the bottle to her lips again. “Devin’s child.” She muttered. “Of course. It’s always fucking Devin.” She should have been the one carrying his baby. If only he was patient! But no! He had to go and be with someone else. The door opened, but she didn’t bother to look. Luther walked in, holding a bag in one hand and his keys in the other. He l
