DEVIL'S DESIRE

FORTY - TWO

Taehyung POV
"Taehyung, who is he?" She asked as soon I lay her down on my bed. "My brother. Listen, I don't want you to get involve. Right now, you just need to get  yourself clean up before bed alright? I'll be back soon." I said before kissing her forehead and leave the room. I put on the grey shirt and head downstairs where my brother is admiring the view. "What are you doing here, unannounced?" I asked as I walks over to the shelves where it holds different type of alcohols. I decided to have Glenfiddich 1974 and pour it in two glasses. I hand one to my brother and stood next to him.

"Father told me that you're the new owner of the throne. Why are you still here?" He asked as he takes a sip on the expensive scotch. "A reason that has nothing to do with you. Plus father knows the reason." I drink up and he turn to look at me. "I'm guessing it has something to do with the naked goddess upstairs." He smirked and I just remain silent. "Like I mentioned earlier, nothing to do with you." I said before I turn to look at him. "You've been gone for too long. I'm sure your sudden visit here has some reason behind it." My brother turned to look at me and he nods. "That is obvious. Well here's the thing, you know how Father prefers you over me right? I mean you're the one that was part of the cult while I'm the one that decided to live like a normal being. But right now, I'm done with it. I want to go back to hell. If you wish to stay here then hand the throne over to me. I'll take care of hell for you."

I knew it. The only reason he is here is for the throne. "Listen, I may have things that I need to settle here but trust me, once everything is done, I will be seating on the throne and take care of hell. Right now, you just continue be the normal human being that you've wished for and live your life." I said before I walk away. Suddenly I felt the hard hit on the back of my head the sound of the glass shattered on the floor. My eyes dilated and I turned to look at my brother. "Oh that was a wrong move." I grab his throat and throw him hard on the floor, right until the end of the hall. "You've forgotten that I'm the devil now. Which means I am way powerful than you, dearest brother. Now leave before I skinned you alive." I threatened and he spat the blood out of his mouth on my marble floor. "You better watch your back, Taehyung. We're not done here." With that he left the penthouse.

My father has explanation to do. I thought that idiot was long gone. I light up a cigarette and sat on the armchair that is facing the fireplace. I could smell Haneul approaching me from behind. She wrapped her hands around my neck and I gently rub it. I then hold her hand as she walks over to sit on my lap. "You smell good." I said as I run my nose along her now almost dried hair. "Did the candle wax removed easily?" I asked and she nods. "Guess that baby oil helps." She chuckles. "Haneul, lets go to bed. You've used up a lot of your stamina and energy tonight." I lifted her up and carry her back to my room. Our room. "I'm shocked that you still can walk." I teased her and she rolled her eyes.

"Oh please, I am not that typical weak virgin that can't walk easily after her first time." I can tell she's lying. "Shall I put you down then?" She frowned and I kissed her cheek. "I know you are fucking sore down below so do not act tough, princess." I said as I enter the bedroom and place her gently on the bed. I climbed onto my side of the bed and lay down next to her. She immediately lay close to my chest and I embrace her. "Goodnight, Princess." I kissed her forehead and she just hummed indicating that she is fast asleep. The thought of my brother being here bothers me. As soon I know Haneul is in a deep sleep, I decided to meet my father and have a little chat with him.

Haneul POV
I woke up to the delicious smell of food. I stretched my body and holy fuck, the sore in between my legs really need an ice bath. I'm guessing the devil himself is making the breakfast since he is not in bed. I slowly get up and do a quick wash up before heading downstairs. I saw Taehyung in the kitchen, busy preparing breakfast. I hugged him from behind and rest my head on his shoulder blade. "Good morning." I greeted him and he chuckle. "You should take a look at the time now, princess." My eyes widened as I look at the time on my phone. "HOLY FUCK! Five in the evening?!" Taehyung pinched my cheek.

"Ah yes well I almost called Eun Chae cause I thought you're dead or something until I heard your loud snore." He joked as he sets the table. "I made light dinner since tonight there is a private event at The Royals. We're going." He said as I sat at the kitchen counter and watch him. "Have you fix your issue with Jungkook?" I asked and Taehyung shrug. "What? You think I must fix it? Need I remind you that I'm the devil and he is the one that need to bow down and seek forgiveness from me." I must admit Devil Taehyung has quite the temper which I can handle I guess. "Well since the cause of the problem is me then I shall put my ego aside and fix the issue instead. If you don't wish to do so then I will." I said as I get off the counter and grab the plate and have dinner in the living room instead.

Later that night, Taehyung called Yoongi to take me to The Royals. Something urgent came up at his workplace and he need to attend the issue before meeting us at the private event. I didn't talk much with Yoongi or Eun Chae while I'm in the car ride. They ask question, I answer and then just silence. "Haneul, are you alright?" Eun Chae asked as soon we stepped out of the car. "I can't lie with a witch can I?" She shake her head. "Your aura tells me you're not fine. What is it?" Eun Chae asked. "I asked Taehyung about him and Jungkook. He got mad. We didn't talk much after that until he informed me that Yoongi will come over and fetch me." Eun Chae smile and rub my back gently.

"Oh you're just being sensitive. Don't worry, things will get better between the two of you sooner than you might think." She chuckles. We stepped into the club and everyone is wearing a mask. "This private event is a masquerade theme. Where is your mask?" Eun Chae ask as soon she put on a lace half mask. Hmm Taehyung didn't inform me about this event being a masquerade theme. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure Taehyung have it with him." Lets hope he does. "I'm going up to meet the rest. Joining?" I shake my head. "No. I am going to talk to Felix and do quick catch up for a while." After catching up with Felix, he offer me to dance as soon the orchestra begin to play waltz music. "I can't dance to waltz." I said as he lead me to the dance floor. "Just follow my lead." He said and we begin to dance. When the music stops, I saw Taehyung standing behind Felix. "Mind if I take my lady back?" He asked in cold deep tone and Felix hand me back to Taehyung.

"You could have say it in nicer tone." I point out as I notice that he look a little different from the last time I saw him at the Penthouse earlier. I gazes at his face for a moment. He even smell different. The perfume he has it on is much more muskier than the usual one he wore. "I got your mask." He held up a beautiful red lace mask. He put it on for me and pull me close. "Specially designed for you." He whispered and kiss the temple of my forehead. "Come, lets dance somewhere private." He hold my hand and lead me away from the crowd. We end up in another hall which I didn't know it exist. This hall reminds me of those European royalty style. How big is The Royal again?

I was admiring this huge hall when suddenly I felt a pair of hands wrapped around my waist. Taehyung kisses my neck softly and his hand slide under the slit of my dress, rubbing the soft silk lingerie that I am wearing underneath. "I thought you want to dance?" I said as I am still kinda upset with him. "Come on, princess. It is just us now and you look irresistible hot and sexy." His other hand hold me firmly by my waist. I decided to push his hand off me. Something is not right with him at the moment and I'm feeling agitated with his current behavior. "I'm going to fix my issue with Jungkook instead." I said and just when I was about to leave the hall, he grabbed my arm tightly. "Let me go! What is wrong with you Taehyung?" My phone ringtone went off indicating I have a call. He let go of me and I take out my phone. It is Eun Chae. I answer the call while glaring at Taehyung.

"Haneul where are you? Taehyung have been looking for you since he arrived."

A/N: Any idea what is going on?
