The Sirens Game
"I hated being called his Rosa. Every man that had me for a night was sure to remind me that I wasn't human anymore. I wasn't a person anymore. I mean how could I be? A person has a soul, and by that time I had already gave it up to the devil." Jade explains her voice cold and emotionlessly. "It's either that or they take your soul anyway along with your virginity, happiness, innocence, and everything that made you, you. They strip you until you're nothing but just a body to use." Iris words fill the room as she makes her way on the other side of Jade. "They break you." A girl with brown hair says softly and put eyes snap to her. "They may do every single disgusting you can imagine to you." I state looking in her eyes. "And they may have beat you to a point where you are unrecognizable." Iris chimes in. "But I swear to God himself they can never ever break you." Jade states her voice fueling strength. Monsters attracts monsters. Madness attracts mayhem. Broken attracts broken.

𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋 [𝟏𝟖+] [𝐖𝐋𝐖]
The seduction dripped off of her tongue, just like I desired to be, her low voice entrancing me with the dangerously sadistic melodies of a siren song, with the most terribly sinful lyrics. "I could kill you right now, Angel." She inched closer towards me. "Right here," she said, her eyes raking over my body, sizing me up, slowly. The lustful grey in them soon lifted back up, intimidating mine. Her harsh words screamed murderous intent, but the look in her eyes whispered a different kind of sin. I couldn't tell whether my breath hitched at her cruel threat, or the yearning pulse between my... She interrupted my stream of consciousness, poisoning it with every still second, keeping her gaze on mine as her depraved hand reached out to caress the bruised side of my neck. "But I have something else in mind." ──────────────────── No one ever says it out loud. What she really is. Dangerous. Heartless. Merciless. A murderer. Everyone knows it. And now, she's in control. There are only so many people who kill their way to the top and get away with it. But there are things far more dangerous than power. Things not only worth killing for, but dying for. Seduction. Obsession. Love? Angeline Kelleher, her new secretary, seems to be the only one reckless enough to question her. To stand too close. To look too long. Unfortunately for Angeline, sin itself was designed to allure. Some urges were never meant to be denied, and resisting the sexual temptation of the devil is not an easy sport. But resisting falling in love may be even harder, especially with someone she wasn't sure was even capable of such a feeling... Hopefully 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 angel doesn't fall and break her wings.

From the moment I opened my eyes, I was told how to act, what to wear, who to marry and exactly what I couldn't do. And then I met HIM - Harley DeMont. He was the most charismatic, perfectly handsome and desirably charming man I had ever known. Those swirling amber eyes, that sleek pitch-black hair and his dazzling, alluring grin... But our marriage came with great sacrifice and required a price that I can never fully repay. My new power came at cost, one they will never let me forget. And my reward is also my heaviest burden - IMMORTALITY and eternal suffering. I am the Mistress from Hell, Mrs Celia DeMont - wife to the Devil and eternal servant to the Beast. This is the tale of how I gained it all by losing everything.Complete
