Gwendolyn Cooper is certainly not a nice person.
With plans of stealing candies from kids, making babies cry and dark secrets hidden, Gwen has never thought of becoming a hero.
Until notoriously and disgustingly nice guy Tempesto aka Isaac Adair comes asking for help after crashing into her house, literally.
Foot injuries, broken bones, and fake toothed smiles are the least of Gwen's worries, especially when a bigger problem is at hand.

Bossy Vibes
It was a sinner's suicide for anyone to work at Coopers Incorporation. It was no surprise that people aimed to stray far from the Devil known as Mr Elijah Cooper. Cold, demanding, and rough, he ruled over everything with an iron grip and a calculating gaze. His power to tear anyone apart and shatter them into a million little pieces like sheets of glass was intimidating and those that got too close to Elijah, burned and perished in fogs of smoke. Lady Fate watched mischievously as she toyed with her manipulative strings, placing Nora Jones into the centre of Cooper's life. A simple woman with a simple life, Nora was just looking for a job to earn some money. Life was to be normal, or so she thought, as Nora walked into her office building and came face to face with the person, she'd come to realise was Satan. Being pure and sweet, Nora was a tangible taste of what Elijah had never experienced and so began a hectic turn of events. Coursed with plots and twists, dramatic turns and suspicious dealings, Elijah and Nora would embark on a multitude of problems, but two questions would arise within their story of the unknown: Could the Devil seductively tempt Nora Jones to join him in his rule or would she too perish and burn from the torture and torment he'd subject her to? --x-- Copyright 2021, all rights are reserved by Angela_salvator.
