「 40 | MAKE YOU MINE 」

DEVYN'S POV

I let out a small sigh as I look out the window of my office. It has been a month since my return to Daedoeshi, Earth, as CEO of Vaumyr and Co.. Denzyl has taken up the role as my personal bodyguard and hardly leaves my side...which I can't say I don't like.

Denzyl is reading a book on a couch in my office while I have been looking at a screen all day. My neck is sore, so I decide to take a break. Unlike my plan, my break somehow turns into me just watching Denzyl read. My "break" is interrupted, however, when Astrid, my secretary, calls my desk's screen.

"Mr. Vaumyr, Wil Kossen is here to see you," Astrid informs me through the screen.

Denzyl's advanced hearing catches the name 'Wil' as soon as it is spoken. He puts down the book and comes to stand behind me.

"Thank you, Astrid." I keep myself steady as I end the call.

"Is it him?" Denzyl asks in a growl.

I nod and stand to my feet. Placing my hands in my pant pockets, I walk in front of my desk and lean against it. Denzyl stands next to me as the door to my office opens. I look up to see Wil waltz into the room wearing his usual, piercing gaze. Wil has not aged a day in the five decades; he has an ample supply of the anti-age drug. I wish he do the universe a favor and overdose.

"Devyn, it's good to see you. You finally decided to return from your...trip." Wil greets as his eyes trail up to the demon standing beside me protectively. "You didn't tell me you got a bodyguard."

"Would you also like me to tell you what I ate for breakfast?" I retort.

It does not take even a second for Wil to backhand me. "I thought I taught you to not back talk me."

Denzyl catches me as I fall against my desk. I hold out an arm to stop Denzyl as he starts toward Wil. I shake my head slightly, motioning him to stop. The demon unwillingly steps away from between Wil and I.

"You should stop running away from me, Devyn. My patience is running out. I will make you mine. Remember, your parents practically gave you to me. It was their dying wish to see us married. We can't let their last wish stay unfulfilled, can we?" By this time, Wil has lifted my chin so I am forced to look at him.

I watch as Denzyl's eyes turn red and his hand starts to smoke. He takes a step forward as the door flings open. I let out a sigh as I see Miren rush in. Denzyl cools down and steps in between Wil and me, confidently staring down the blonde man: a feat no being has done and lived to see the next day.

"Miren, I thought I told you to not disturb me when I'm with my fiancé!" Wil says in annoyance towards the woman.

"My apologies." Miren bows. She shoots Wil a death glare as he turns back to me.

"We will continue some other time," he says before storming out.

Denzyl helps me stand as he asks, "How can he do this to you?"

"He's my fiancé who is very powerful. He's bribed nearly every official on Earth."

"How-how long has he been..."

"Since I was sixteen."

I quickly turn Denzyl's head away from Miren and into me as his eyes flash red. "Calm down, Denzyl. Please."

"Are you okay, Devyn?" Miren asks. "I rushed over here when I heard Wil was coming."

"I'm okay. Thank you, Miren."

Denzyl lifts his head once he has calmed down, opening his beautiful grey eyes and thanking Miren for coming.

"Of course, Denzyl," Miren says softly. "Ah! There was one thing I needed to tell you. Kilo and Castyr are missing. They think they fell from Heaven...again. They could be anywhere, but I thought I'd let you know."
