(MARRIED TO THE DEVIL SON)VOLUME 3

14

"You are not going anywhere." He said, his tone firm.

Heaven gazed into his stormy eyes. She knew very well that fighting him was not a good idea, but she had to speak up.

"Why?" She asked. "I need to go home or my parents will worry."

Why was she explaining as if he would understand or care?

"I don't care."

Of course he didn't.

"I saved you. This is not how you repay someone, I saved your life so spare mine and we are done. I won't tell anyone that I released you. I promise."

For some reason, he found that funny.

"You can tell whoever you want. I am not scared of anyone. Now while I am being nice, go back in and sit down."

With a groan, Heaven went back into the room and sat down on the bed. Once her father comes looking for her hell would break loose and someone would get hurt. So before that happened, she had to find a way to escape.

Or wait!

Escaping was maybe not the best solution. He was ancient and could find her easily, and when he does he would surely hurt someone. What she had to do was to convince him to let her go. The question was how?

More importantly, why was he keeping her if none of her family were his enemy?

"It is because I am a witch, right?" She asked out of nowhere.

"Yes." Was his short reply as he went back to his seat.

"I know a witch locked you in, but I saved you." She reminded.

"Not because you wanted to."

"No, because you deceived me." She tried to make him feel bad.

"You would to the same thing if you were locked in a coffin for a thousand years."

He had a point, but she still felt angry for being used. Then she membered when he said they belonged together.

Was that also a lie?

Well, not anymore since he marked her. Perhaps he knew he was going to do it, and that could be the reason he was keeping her here. But Heaven was not going to be someone's bride without her consent. She did not care about the mark.

"You can't keep me here forever. You don't want my grandfather to come looking for me."

"He won't. And if he does, it is not because he cares for you. It is only because his pride will be hurt if people knew his granddaughter was missing."

"You don't know my grandfather."

He raised a brow. "Oh, I do. Since the beginning of times. And I don't know how you stayed so... pure being his family."

Heaven looked down at her hands.?She didn't want to talk about it, but she let it out. "He left when I was little."

The Stranger tilted his head to one side and studied her closely.

"He will be back." He said.

It surprised Heaven that he was trying to comfort her. He was very confusing.

"Don't be happy about it. It's not a good thing. The devil needs his children to rule his army. He is just waiting for the right moment when you and your family are at the lowest points of your lives. Then he will come back and lure you."

"You seem to have something against my grandfather." She retorted.

He laughed. "Who doesn't? Please tell me. Even you have something against him. You just don't want to admit it because you still have hope."
