Zia Knight is a great chef and owner of multiple well-known restaurants and cafes around U.S at the age of 22 years old. However, not wanting to be in the limelight she hides her identity and pretends to be a worker than the owner of her businesses...
If these useless trash PI won't let me find my Angel then so be it. If I have to I will sign myself to the devil. I know this will cost me a fortune if not today, it will be tomorrow if not maybe next month or next year or God knows when. But all I can think of right now is not my fortune nor my misfortune but Her. She is the only one who can now tame the beast in me. It is running wild in my head - driving me mad. Only she can stop it.
"Yes Sir?" said my new PA.
"Get me a meeting with Romano. Tell him I am ready to pay for any price." without any word I ended the call and pack my bag.
Many knows of Romano. Just like me, he is also a successful business man. But he has a hidden, dark side to him. Rumors said he has connection with the mafia but I think he himself is part of the mafia if not maybe worst. I don't know and I don't want to know. But I am ready to meet this guy as long I can find out where my Angel is and why she disappeared all of a sudden.
I took my phone and call my pilot. "Get the jet ready, we're heading to Italy."
"Roger that, Sir."
As soon I ended my call, an incoming call from my brother appeared on my phone.
As much I want to reject this phone call I need to find out how my god-son is doing. He is still my responsibility.
"Hello?" I said in my annoyed tone.
'Hey bro, just letting you know we're all good here. Thanks for letting me take a vacation. We're enjoying our time. We'll call you again when we're not too busy having fun. Laters!"
I look back to the phone more annoyed than before.
It appeared others are having the best time of their lives while here I am pissed and enraged.
I sat down facing the window watching the busy world outside. People are walking and bustling around as I sat still. Doubts and fear clouding my mind as seconds more passed not hearing nor knowing where my Angel had disappeared to.
I took my phone out, ready to make a deal with this 'devil'. Only a few know about him after his disappearing act but I know... only because he happened to be living in one of our old land.
I looked into my phone contact list and dial the number I have never contacted before.
"what do you want?" said the raspy voice coming out of the phone.
"I need your help. You can't say no because this time I am desperate and ready to sign any deal you want?"
"what makes you think I need anything from you? I have nothing to gain from you." reply the devil himself harshly before he cut the call.
"FUCK!" I yelled and I punch the wall near me. I have to try again, only he can help me.
I pressed the call button and without waiting for him to have the first say, "I will help you with your revenge. I will also invest in you as soon you ready to come back to the business world. Hell, yes, I will bring hell to your enemies in a flash... just... help me."
Sincerity, desperation and frustration.... dejection. These are all the emotions you can detect from this call.
"Hilarious, I am the so called "devil" yet you promise to bring hell to my enemies?" he chuckled before he continued darkly. "This sounds like a good deal but I tell you now, I will provide my service to you only if you agree to help me to accomplish not once, or twice but never-ending command from my side, until I satisfied."
"Yes, deal." I said non hesitantly.
"tsk... you will regret signing yourself to the devil for a mere girl Ashton." he said darkly before he continued "I will send you the contract to this agreement of ours, until then." he spoke not letting me know say the last word.
"As long I can have my angel back." I whispered helplessly to myself.
I grabbed my suit and suitcase and made my way to the awaiting car.
"the jet is ready, Sir." I nodded as I got in the car, not trusting whether I have any energy left to respond.
The ping sound of my phone got me out of my gloom thought and I saw the contract with the devil. With no hesitation I replied back with my digital signature attached to the contract.

"Bring him to me, no attendant, take my plane ...and don't inform him nor anyone else." I command.
It's been awhile since I took off from this path but, enough imprisonment, time for the devil to return and crawl his way back up.
"It's me... we need to find a girl.... the infamous Angel to one of our billiionaires. I will send you the details." I smiled evilly as the old, buried, dark emotion overtaking my whole mind and being.
"Let's bring blood, I'm itching to turn this hand to be stained in red blood." I shiver in excitement to my train of thought and make my way to get ready to the unknown deadly event to come.
The silence was cut off abruptly by the ring of the phone.
"This will be a tough one. She is protected by none other than ..."
