Marked by the Devil Chapter 6
I cleared my thoughts and placed my hand on the verse.17. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 19. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;20. Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.I rolled my eyes and kept the bible in a drawer. It wasn’t that easy. Nora was trying to save my soul? It was funny to think about it. But what if? What if she was on to something?Lexa’s POVI didn’t forget that I was going for work. I almost did as I admired myself in the mirror. This blue dress was the most expensive thing I had.It was a thick light blue dress, embedded with flowers. It was sleeveless and long. Along with the dress came two white sleeves. I looked like Cinderella, without the puffiness. I straightened the curls out of my hair.

Lexa’s POVHe dropped me off. I wondered how the same person could be a jerk and a gentleman. I was so free with Elliot. It was as if I’ve known him for more than a lifetime. I knew it wasn’t normal. He had this familiar aura all around him.Anytime we talked, it felt like we were completing an uncompleted discussion we left years ago. Besides, I found him to be funny and sweet. These last hours of our life together sparked something that had never ignited before.The feeling wasn’t new but it was stronger than anything I’d ever felt. His voice was a song to my ears. A minute won’t pass by that I wouldn’t look down to his lips. And those muscles of his, he wanted to drive me crazy!Not thoughtless of his magnificent smile. I can’t forget his extraordinary beauty. Never.“Are you okay, Alexa? You’ve been staring at me for a while now.”I blinked to life. “No, I wasn’t. I-I was looking at something else.”“Are you sure? Because you’re really close to me right now.”I slowly drew myself

Lexa’s POVIn a matter of a few days, I had grown attached to the Lot Mansion. As I was already a maid, I was allowed into the mansion.This time I wasn’t coming for work. I wanted to meet Elliot and apologize. I know I might be getting ahead of myself but that wouldn’t stop me from meeting him.Nothing would send me away from him. Not even if he screamed at me.I didn’t want anyone to spot me so I would pass the main entrance. I hissed when I found it locked.“F**k. How do I take care of this now?”“Stay still.”That a voice I could recognize. It was the bot again. I turned to it.“I need help with this door so can you perhaps…”“Stay still.”Stupid bot. I stood still as he scanned me.The door automatically opened. “Sir, has recently only included you on the list of uninvited allowance into the mansion.”I smirked. “Is that so?”The bot rode away. Why did he put me on the uninvited allowance list? Was I that special to him? We barely knew each other but sometimes, it felt like we’d

Lexa hoped he’d place his palms over her eyes to wow her but… that did too.She lost her breath to the amount of jewelry she set her eyes on. Words weren’t enough to describe the riches held in the room. The room looked so smaller from the outside but rather spacey from the inside.Bars of gold took up a third of the room. Chests of precious gems poured out and filled the floor like mounts of rocks.There was an arranged set of jewelry, each kept in transparent boxes that were lined in front of the gold and diamonds which were kept at the back of the room.Every piece of jewelry was much more expensive than everything Lexa owned, put all together.“Elliot.” Lexa said the first thing that came to her mind. “These are worth billions of dollars! Where did you get them from?”He placed his cold finger on her warm lips. She always wondered why his skin was always cold. It not like she mattered if she screamed since the room was soundproof. He just wanted to tease her. “I inherited them.”

“Come in!”Nora walked into my room with a tray. A bottle of gin and a glass cup were on it. “How was your day with Lexa, sir?”Nora knew me too well. That was the reason she was still there. “You could say it was… interesting.”“What do you think Lexa feels about you, sir?”I poured the gin into a cup and gulped it in a single swallow. “If she’s the girl I met 547 years ago, I’m sure she feels me.”“You’re method of persuading her is very unlike you, sir.”I took another gulp of gin. “Yes, you’re right but Alexa is very valuable to me. I don’t want to lose her again.”Lexa’s POVI managed to escape mum once but this necklace is not safe anywhere. We have a very small house so hiding something this sparkly is a challenge. I searched for the perfect hiding spot, also thinking of where I could conceal it. Keeping this was trouble but this was the least I could do for Elliot. He really did a lot for me.I wondered why he did these. When I asked him, he never gave me a proper reply. Some

Alexa wouldn’t do something this stupid. She was smart and coordinated. It was someone else.“Turn around, Elliot.”I could tell what it was by the sound of that beautiful voice. “Wow. I never thought an angel would visit me. It’s an honor, really.”“I’m an Angel. A messenger of the Lord.”“I know who you are. Since angels have a good memory I’m sure you know we’ve met before. You’re Liam Javeline?”“And you are the devil.”My fists tightened. Lot wanted to come out and destroy him but I had to relax and hear him out first.“What do you want?”“We will take her soon.”“What do you mean?”Liam took a step forward, showing he wasn’t scared of the fumes of anger that was emitting from me. “She was sent to distract you from your mission. She is a product of us. We will take her back.”“I don’t care who she is or why she is here but she isn’t going anywhere. She will be with me. Understand?”“She doesn’t love you. She only feels for you because of the mark. She can only love an angel like

I dialed his number and waited for a reply. It was a fast response.“Wow.” Hearing wow from his mouth really annoyed me. “You can call me after you made friends with Liam.”“Excuse me? How is my friend making any problem for you?”“He’s my business rival. Don’t get to close to him or he’ll try to get to me through you.”“Liam isn’t like that. He’s a sweet guy.”There was a short laugh over the phone. “You hardly know him and you’ve figured that he’s sweet.”“Don’t get me wrong but… Never mind. I’ll call Liam instead.”“Wait! Wait!” I smiled. Good thing he couldn’t see me. “Why are you begging? You feel that Liam will get me before you do.”He laughed again but it was rather a pathetic laugh. “I’ve already gotten you.”I laughed. “Don’t be so sure.”“To prove that you do, dress up and let me in when I reach your house. I’ll be there in the blink of an eye.”“You don’t have my address. If I don’t give you how will you get here, then?”“I have my ways.”Elliot was unbelievable. His over

“It’s clear that I’ve already done that.”She looked up to him with her pretty watery emerald eyes. “When?”“Wasn’t I the one that made you clean my room? I forced Brit down your throat.”“So we’re even?”“If you say so.”She laughed. That laugh unclouded her brain and made her body temperature normal. Elliot picked her off the floor and cleaned her tears.“Don’t you ever wonder why I was ready to kill myself so I wouldn’t be with you?”He dressed her scattered hair. “Why?” he asked, giving eye contact.“My family was always a holy one. My father did his best to instill utmost holiness into us. I followed it but I didn’t know how my siblings could still harbor hatred for him. It was all a f*****d up sham. They did terrible things to me. Why do terrible things always happen to me?”“That’s why you left me?”“No, I was so obedient to our holy ways. It was sudden, you were the devil and I was the holy Queen of Halton. Anyone else would have done the same.”“Am I that horrifying?”She lau

Lexa's POVWe came out of the restaurant, in big smiles. He was smiling the most. I tried my best not to free or open myself with him but those two hours showed a different side of his.The better side I thought he never had.Liam was born and created an angel. He told me many tales about heaven that made even me want to go there.He said that Angels grew like children on earth. They were taught the ways and traditions, and their behaviours would determine what category of angels they would fall into.Fierce angels became warriors and guardians of heaven, ready to fight at every instance of their life. Super-curious angels with a detective instinct were given missions to do on earth that had to do with mystery.God did know everything but sometimes sin had to make him look away.

Elliot's POV'Dragon Tamers, that's a terrible game.'I hadn't said anything to Lot since the incident and I wasn't planning to do so anytime soon.I cursed Satan. Why would he pick Dragon Tamers?! It had been a long time since demons played Dragon Tamers. The game was deadly and bloody. I wished it was any other game picked.I knew the history of the game and the important details but still I was in the library, making more research on the book named 'Dragon Tamers'.The simple history of the Dragon Tamers. It was a game that was played by the early demons. These demons were the most vicious and terror setting creatures.The demons in this time were nothing compared to the early demons.

Lexa's POVWe had been served our dishes. I was thankful I chose what I chose because when I saw my food, my lost appetite returned.Drinks were served with our food and we started to dig into it."It's been a while , Lexa," she said, eating to her heart's desire.I smirked. "Just a few months... But you changed so much."She smiled. "That's what money can do."She fluttered her eyelashes and moved her food slightly away then gave me a sneaky smile. To say the truth, I was confused at the sudden change in her position. Her movements didn't give me an idea of what she wanted to do until she talked."How are you and Elliot?" Wendy's smile grew wider and my smile grew lower. Even though she talked more now, she was still observant as she always had been. She noticed my dull face. "What's wrong? Did-did something happen?" It was hard to stop the tears from coming out so I used my cold palms to cover my hot teary eyes. I took a deep breath and cleared them. "You had a fight? Is everything

Elliot's POVI was not patient but I could wait till the next day before visiting my kingdom. It had been a long time since I had seen it, but I remember it vividly. It was recently that I realised how much freedom I had given Andras on my throne.I chose him because I trusted him, but even the best demons can't be relied on. I felt like a fool. My love for Lexa had taken over me. I couldn't concentrate on my kingly duties. But I didn't regret falling for her. I would have my way and I would have both Alexa and my crown.I was picking out clothes when a knock announced itself on the door. I didn't want to answer it but it was the scent of the senior maid so I had to."Enter!" She hesitated but entered my room. She came empty handed and not in her uniform, so it gave me the idea that she wasn't here to serve me gin or give me updates on the masnion. "Not now, Nora. You can leave."She didn't. She stood right there in her position, watching me from the distance.I ignored her and picked

Lexa's POVIt was hard to sleep at night when he was not by my side. I felt vulnerable when his hands didn't trap my waists like he loved to do. I couldn't feel his cold pale skin on mine and I was feeling immense heat where I was silently sitting.Though we were high in the sky, which meant the environment should be cooler as science had proved but I felt so hot inside. I wanted to pull my clothes off my miserable body.I looked around me and realized that I was the only one feeling that way. That's when I realized that the heat was coming from inside me. On the speakers, a female voice nnounced something that I really wasn't listening to.'Ladies and gentlemen, Bandasun Airlines welcomes you to Paris. The local time is 3:pm. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate. Thank you.'Why wasn't I excited to be here? I always wanted to visit Paris. Everyone did.Someone pla

Rica's POVI spinned the revolving chair I was sitting on. It twirled me 360 degree round a single spot with a big unending smile on my face as it continued to twirl me. Then I immediately stopped it.I looked towards a mirror and I could see my face...ageing. My end was near. Any normal witch would worry about it and begin to search for longer days but not me. I didn't care. I didn't care if I died today because my mission was complete.Almost complete. I had a last thing to do before I could tag my mission as 'completed'. I stood up from the chair and looked around me. I was in a destroyed uncompleted building that was located in the outskirts of Olia.Everywhere was dark but my crystal ball gave out bright blue light that brightened everywhere. The doors of the building were old and rotten, and they dangled from their hinges like they were only attached to it by a bare string.The floors of the building were covered with rusted nails and bolts, dead leaves, infested planks of wood
