The Devil's Slave

Chapter 6

I open my eyes to the dimly lit room, though it is daytime no-one has opener the thick drapes.

Waves of nausea add to my misery. My phone pinged with a message, and I would have to check that later. Again, my stomach lurched and gurgled. Perhaps some painkillers would help, too. I raised my heavy eyelids halfway only for them to fall shut.

I raised them again from the pounding head, vomit taste in my mouth, and dehydrated feeling i must have been drinking heavily last night. My throat felt like sandpaper. It hurt to move.

I swung my bare foot to the carpet and felt my foot tingle with the sudden coldness.

I wrapped myself in a robe and went to the bathroom. I splash cold water on my face just to feel something refreshing, and i instantly wish i could wash my brain from the toxin too.

The mirror no longer shows the bubbly and cheerful person that i was but a stranger with a nest instead of her natural straight hair and dark circle like a raccoon from last night mascara. After a deep breath, i mumble to myself "damn i look like a zombie from the walking dead."

I took a long hot shower, massaging my hair with my shampoo. Feeling tad better, i got dressed in my tracky pants and a floral camisol, and i went downstairs.

"Well, good morning sleeping beauty," Catty said while flipping some pancake.

"Morning Cat, do you have some Advil? My head is about to explode. You must have a lot of drinks yesterday cause i don't remember a damn thing, " i said while massaging my temple.

"Avdil is in the left cabinet, and let have some breakfast in you first, then we have to talk!" she said, placing a plate full of pancake in front of me.

I instantly knew something bad happened, but at the moment, nothing is more important than breakfast. So
We ate in silence, and God, i was so hungry. I was feeling much better having eaten and taking some medicine.

I slowly drink my coffee damn thats the only liquid in the world that can make wonder to me.

"You know Bella, i should have known that once you drunk, you became uncontrollable,"  said Catty out of the blue. My eyes widden of what she said.

"What do you mean, did i have sex? Did i lose my Virginity?" I said pancically.

"You did worse Bella, you were threating some guy at the club who seemed very rich and i had to pull you out of there or else you would have jump on him to beat the shit out of him. Do you know that guy?". Catty asked with a questionable look.

I looked at her with wide open eyes yesterday, and the event played in front of me. A light shiver went through my body images of how close we were against each other. How his hand was moulded against my waist, holding me tightly, sending electricity throughout my body and his intoxicating perfume. Damn!. I may hate him, but I'm still a woman. Please don't judge.

"Omg Cat i think i fucked up, you remember Mathias Devin right?" i
Asked almost speechless.

"Your jerk of a boss who fired you without any reason. But you got proof that he can't fired you right! So what the deal with him?" She asked i  disbelief.

I told my best friend what had happen last night from Dean telling Mathias Devin was here to acting silly in front of his friends and telling him about the contract.

I look at Catty she was laughing her head out.

"What you did with your fingers the cross sign bahbaha and keep on calling him devil never thought you were a religious person" wiping a tear coming from her eye with all the laughter she had.

"Well when I'm drunk, i say and do stuff and Devil suits his dark personality well. Come on Catty, he told me that he was gonna make me pay and that i will no longer work as a waitress instead as his personal assistant as he call it personal slave, i'm doomed it went so wrong" i said hanging my head low.

Suddenly my phone start ringing. I jerked my head up and i didn’t know why my heart was pounding. It was an unknown number. I caress my necklace in reassurance and answer the phone.

"who is that?" asked Catty.

"Don't know private number" i replied.

It might be important, maybe i won the lottery who know. I had a big smile in my face Catty was looking at him as if i had gone crazy.

"Why you smiling at the call, were you expecting a call " question Catty.

"Maybe i won the lottery that why they called" i said with a big smile.

"Gosh you impossible, are you sure you still not drunk from yesterday maybe you still have some alcohol in the system, just take the damn call" Said Catty irritated while shaking her head.

I just stuck my tongue out like a child.

She mouth "very mature" and stuck her tongue as well. I just lift an eyebrow at her in amusement.

Decided to take the call, i slide to answer.

"Hello may i speak to Annabella Carrie Wilson" said a woman at the other end. A sudden wave of relief went through me.

"Hello speaking" i replied back wondering who was that.

"My name is Freddie and i work at Devin Enterprise, i was just calling to inform you that you will start this Monday at 7 o'clock sharp as the personal assitant of Mr. Devin" replied Freddie in a professional tone.

"But i work as a waitress not a personal assistant, i don't have any experience in that field" i replied. Maybe they won't take me if i don't have experience.

"Mr. Devin personally told me to train you and had some little changes of the work title". Replied Freddie

She quickly added "I will be sending you some details and can you please come 1 hour earlier so that i can show you around and explain your role" asked Freddie

"Sure not problem, so i'll see you on Monday then Freddie. Have a good day ahead".

" Thank you miss Wilson, good day". with that she hung up.

I put my phome down i was gobsmacked.

"Who was it?"  Catty asked me bring me back from my imaginary word.

"That was someone from Devin Enterprise saying that i start on Monday as the personal assistant of the Devil." I said still in shock.

"Well shit!" Catty said with a sigh

"I'm doomed Cat!".
