HAVEN'S POV
"My lady, your tea" I looked at Clara who had pulled me back from my day dreaming. I kept my book aside taking the cup from her.
"Thanks Clara, where is Ivan" I asked her. It's been few weeks since i had the talk with him. I realised that i was just being paranoid about him. He is really an officer who is working hard to fight against the evil but besides that he is also an amazing human being. The nights when he held me closer because of my fear of the thunderstorms, the days where he would make me feel like i was some princess from a fairy tale, i tried to hard to figure out the reasons of why he was being so nice to me who was just a stranger.
I was expecting to see any sort of hidden malice in those eyes or wrong intentions but I couldn't find anything like that. The way he treats me reminds me of dad so much.
"is someone missing me " Clara was about answer when I heard Ivan's voice. I turned towards him and smiled.
"Aren't you quite delusional Mr. " I teased him back and just like that he showed me his puppy face. This man is just unbelievable. I can't understand how those two eyes of his can melt my heart just like that.
"hey" I blinked when he snapped his fingers at me. I knew my face was flushed red and so I diverted my attention to the cup of tea in my hand.
"Where have you been all day?" I asked him, he smiled and kissed my forehead before sitting on the chair beside me. This was a regular thing nowadays, him kissing my forehead every then and now and honestly i liked it.
I saw clara rushing out stiff. Why is everyone so scared of ivan. He is such a sweet guy but may be because of how strict he looks. If I hadn't known him how he is then even i would have definitely felt scared of him too.
I cleared my throat, today i have decided to tell him about myself, i am sure that he would definitely help me and aezy and would put that monster behind bars.
"Ivan I-I wanted to t-tell you about so-something " I struggled with my words since i was about to tell him the truth. He is been so good to me ever since i got to escape that hell but i was still very much nervous, i was scared of the what ifs. What if he started to feel disgusted with me once he knows what aerius did to me. Would he look at me the way he does now.
I might loose him but I trust his sincerity, he wouldn't be partial towards me. I am sure that if i would explain him my situation he would definitely help me out.
"Yeah tell me" he said.
"Actually I-"
"Boss, boss. There is an emergency " my statement was cut off by one of the guards that came running, the sudden intrusion made me flinch making the hot tea spill on my hand.
"Ahhhh" I screamed due to the sudden pain.
"Shit, get me some cold water, you fucker" he screamed at the man, i bit my lips to endure the pain, pain was nothing new to me, i can handle it well. I started to take deep breaths.
"Shhh its ok, don't rub my it sweetheart" he took my hand and gently drowned it in the bowl filled with cold water.
"It's ok" he cooed as he gently rubbed the ice compressor on my hand.
"What" Ivan's voice hardened, no more his voice was as soft and gentle as it was just a second ago.
"Boss, dextor lied. He has been leaking information to one of our enemies. They stole one of our consignments too and-"
"Eva, go back to our room right now" i looked at him, it wasn't a request it was an order and i was too familiar with the tone to ignore it. I took my book that was kept on the table and walked out leaving the two of them alone. May be he didn't trust me enough to discuss his business in front of me but the man said about a consignment getting stored and I have heard aerius once shouting about the same.
No. No. No what am i even thinking Ivan is an officer, not a cruel mafia like Aerius. Ivan is a good man. Yes, he is.


THIRD PERSON POV

"That was absolutely the shittiest moves ever made, you dumbass" must be master Gabriel.
"as if your plan was going to get us survived" I'm sure it's master Michael. They and their arguments.
"jackass" I came out of the kitchen and served them their favorite drinks without any mistake to have my head attached to my body.
"fucker" At master Michael's voice I flinched but thankfully they were just busy in cursing themselves.
"fatass" Giving them their drinks I hurriedly rushed from there. My bad luck that I got stuck with the devils here. I wish I had listened to my husband and didn't ditch my family just for the huge amount of money I was receiving.
I regret it everyday, every fucking day, what's the point of earning so much when every another second of your life is as uncertain as the numbers one wants their favorite card to appear from the deck of cards.
"what the fuck, my body is more attractive than yours, you nut head" Their banter continued, if a person who didn't know these two youngest devils then they would have either adored them or felt irritated but I and the other servants who lived in this hell hole to serve the devils know what kind of monsters these two were.
"What's going on here?" my breathe hitched and I almost tripped listening to the voice.
Master Rafael, he doesn't think before dragging any human to his cell and torture them without any mercy. The twins are deeply scared of him, after all he is their elder brother and the second in command.
"Nothing br- sir" Master Michael covered up hurriedly.
"Lucifer wants to meet both of you, your actions have consequences" Saying that he left, I saw the twins taking the slowest steps ever possible after-all who wants to see the king of hell himself.
I got back to my work wondering if this was my last day yet again.
