The Room of Hidden Secrets - Demon Bride (Book 1)

Chapter Two - The Betrayal

Delilah exited the restroom with a devious smirk on her face, shutting the door behind her as she strolled towards Henry. Each time she approached, he took a step back when suddenly, his feet connected with the metal frame, and he slipped the bed.

"I don't want to do this; it's wrong," Henry hesitated while being held down on the bed.

"We had a deal, remember!" shrieked Delilah.

"I know, I know, but I just can't bring myself to do this," Henry added, trying to push her off him.

Delilah knew what she wanted and got it, climbing back on top of Henry and pinning him down onto the soft sheets of the metal frame bed. She then pressed her soft lips against his, then ripped his black jacket open and his white shirt. Yet he kept resisting her until she lowered herself, whispering unknown words into his right ear. These words she spoke left him paralyzed and available to her torture, running her fingertips along the left side of his chisel jawline and then through his dark, messy hair while placing her right on his chest. Delilah pressed her chopstick-covered lips against his again; this time he didn't hesitate for what she had said to him before sending shivers down his spine. She placed both her hands on each side of his face, passionately kissing him.

"Henry!" a woman shrills at the top of her lungs while rapidly banging on the door.

"Henry! Are you in there?" The woman continued with her fouled behavior.

"Shit, that must be her, Delilah; stop this nonsense now, please; I beg of you," Henry breathed as he gathered all his strength to push her off and raced towards the front door.

"Hailey! What are you doing there? Please leave at once!" screeched Henry, standing before Hailey while shilling inside.

"Who the fuck do you think you're speaking to Henry? One of your little tramps?" She screamed at him, pushing him with both hands.

"So, it's true! You're with another woman! Who's the tramp, Henry?" Hailey continued screaming with tears still in her eyes until they were inside the motel's room.

Delilah strolled up to Hailey, slapping her across the face, snapping her face to the right from the impact. She held it as her sorrow turned into anger, grabbing Delilah by her ginger hair and slammed her onto the hardwood flooring. In a fit of rage, she repeatedly punched Delilah on the floor. Henry wrapped his arms around Hailey, pulling her off Delilah, and angered that he would help his mistress. She broke his nose with her right elbow. Hailey took out the flower pins from her hair, letting her beautiful wavy blonde fall to her back and her tiara shatter on the floor.

Hailey stabbed Delilah in the neck with one of the pins, resulting in her warm blood spraying out. Delilah placed her right hand over her throat to stop the blood from spraying out. Hailey then realized there was a knife on the dresser beside her; she took it up, swinging her right arm, slitting Delilah's throat wide open. Her blood spattered on Hailey's face, wedding gown, and across the cream-painted walls. And her lifeless body dropped to the floor. Henry raced over to Delilah, and his view was placed on Hailey, then Delilah, who was covered in her own blood, including her white crop top and black pants. In anger and frustration, he bloated out the words.

"What the fuck, Hailey? Look what you have done! What were you thinking?" Henry tried to confide in her.

"Please, Hailey, you don't understand; please, let me just explain," Henry pleaded.

But Hailey didn't want to hear any more of his lies and drove the cold blade into his chest, piercing through his flesh and penetrating his heart. Hailey pulled the knife out, causing the blood to gush out, then stabbing him sixteen times about the abdomen. Henry died instantly due to his severe wounds. After witnessing the crimes she had committed, she fell to her knees, screaming and sobbing, just before slitting her own throat.

The receptionist alerted the cops when she heard the screams coming from the room. Shortly, the cops arrived, surrounding the motel with red and blue flashing lights. They met with the receptionist, requesting to be taken to the room. The door to room 101 was locked; the receptionist tried every key possible but was unsuccessful in opening the door.

"You have until three to open this door, or else we're breaking it down!" shouted Officer Romeo.

Without any response, Officer Romeo followed up with. "One!...Two!...Three! ... All right, break this fucker down!" he shouted again.

Officer Romeo on the left and his colleague, Officer Axel on the right, and before the door, held a pry bar. It took them six attempts before the door was broken down. What the officers and receptionists saw would haunt them for life. The room was covered in blood and three dead bodies. Crime scene investigators were brought in to investigate and the coroner for the bodies
