CHAPTER 208
208. Devin went in, but he didn’t go after Petra immediately. He knew that she needed space to breathe, to process everything that just happened. Chasing her down would only make things worse. So he stood there in living room, staring into nothing. Mat had said that he was cursed and useless, and would be the end of her. Nothing stung him except the last one. “Fuck.” He muttered under his breath, raking a bloody hand down his face. He wanted to punch a wall, but he stopped himself. This wasn’t about him, but it was about Petra. When he finally made his way upstairs, she was already in the room. She didn’t yell at him, didn’t cry, or anything. She just looked at him with red eyes, and spoke calmly. “Devin… I need to be alone right now.” It cut deep into his heart, but he forced himself to nod. “Alright, I’ll be downstairs. Call me if you need anything. Anything, Petra, I mean it.” She nodded, and then he turned away, closing the door gently behind her. Devin leaned agai
Chapter 207
207. People were still whispering and Devin stood, his hand still faintly glowing and tingling from the new healing powers he had received. “Let’s go now.” Petra said as she grabbed his arm, taking him towards the exit with the guards when a loud voice came from behind them. “Petra!” She froze. Her name, spoken so sharply, made her spine stiffen. She turned around slowly, her brows pulling together. The same man who had mocked Devin earlier was still standing there, pushing through the crowd with his chin lifted, his eyes on her. “What is he still doing here?” She asked. “Petra!” He repeated, louder this time. “Don’t you remember me?” She frowned in confusion, looking at the man she wanted to slap for his rudeness. “What the hell are you talking about?” Devin stiffened at her side, his hand curling into a fist. “You dare call her by name? After the shit you just pulled?” The man ignored him completely, his eyes never leaving Petra. He started to move forwar
Chapter 206
The crowd was still clapping when Devin said the last words in his speech. Petra’s eyes were filled with emotions, Joy, amazement and she was a little bit shy, and people were whispering about how raw and powerful his speech had been. Devin smiled at Petra as he walked down from the stage. She was still in a state of euphoria when it happened. A sharp and loud sound went through the ballroom. Bang! A single gunshot tore the air apart, disrupting the peace that they had. Champagne glasses shattered on the table where the bullet hit. Guests screamed, ducking down, some covering their heads and using the table as a blockage, others frozen in shock. Devin felt a sudden rush of air pass his shoulder, but the bullet didn’t hit him as he walked down. Instead, a man in the front row, a tall gentleman in a grey suit fell violently. He landed on his back, and his chest pumped as he jerked on the floor. Some of the blood spilled on the floor. This just caused the room to go further

Chapter 204
Devin found himself standing in the middle of a field. The ground was cracked, and it had blackened like it had been burned all over. He looked up at the sky above him only to realise that it wasn’t a sky at all but a mess of blood red clouds and lightning at every part. He frowned, not remembering getting to this place. “Where the fuck am I?” He suddenly heard a loud, guttural sound and the ground shook with it. Devin’s body was at alert instantly, ready to face whatever it was that brought him here. That was when he caught sight of it. Just from the distance, he could see a figure crawling towards him. It was shaped like a man but not quite one, its skin was dark green and it glowed in strange way. It has black veins all over, and its face had no eyes, only a gaping mouth full of jagged teeth. He stood, shocked. It was unlike anything he had ever seen. Then the demon opened its mouth and started to laugh. Devin spat on the ground. [Being identified. Demon. Rank: Medium
Chapter 203
203. Petra was sitting in her office, going through her desktop. She had a lot of things to catch up on, and recently, work kept going out. She got her hand out and admired the dazzling ring. She was finally engaged to Devin, and that made her workload feel so much more lighter. She could think about them being happily married, having kids, setting them up to be successful and outstanding leaders of society like their parents. She smiled, letting go of her daydream temporarily before going back to her computer. Suddenly, her assistant burst in, holding her phone. “Phone call for you, ma’am!” Petra frowned, turning to him. “You could have scheduled it at least. I’m too busy.” “I’m sorry ma’am. You told me that calls from your parents or Devin Stone were to be taken immediately—” “Is that my daughter?” A voice suddenly interrupted through the phone. Her assistant looked back at her. “It’s your father, ma’am.” Petra frowned. She hesitated for a moment, chewing on he
