(Barbara) Poor Girl's POV:
"Tracy, we have a problem, help Aaron out, he's been shot three times in his chest and abdomen." The Devil shouted.
The Devil had come home again. My heart began to drop down into my stomach. I woke up with so much pain, but thanks to the pain relief Tracy had given me.
"Eat, girl." Lilly requested.
But I had lost my appetite at that moment. Footsteps came to my doorstep. I shivered so hard and the pains in my left arm which had been tied to my neck started to develop again.
"My bag!!!", Tracy screamed. She quickly collected her bag from my bed and hurried out.
"Eat, please. I don't want us to be in trouble."
I knew I wasn't full but I had lost my appetite. I wondered how these other female workers lived in such hell. Lilly handed me a glass of drink in my right hand and I didn't realize the time I grabbed it. It happened subconsciously.
My adrenaline was working so hard to keep me.
I head another footstep. This time, I could decipher it was the devil was coming for me. He'd probably take me to hell.
I didn't know how tears dropped from my eyes, they wanted to rush out before I die. All fell out of my eyes and dropped on my chest. I was leaning against the wall of the bed. So his face hit my face as he entered. His shirt was soaked in blood.
"Lilly, thank you for being such a kind person" I cried, tears started flowing from her eyes too. We both shed tears. "You and Tracy have been kind to me, he'll kill me when he comes. What does he like so much that maybe, I could do it for him to spare me?" I wanted to die but at the same time, I was afraid to die. The paradox was I didn't want to die but I had no choice.
Lilly covered her face with her apron. She had been in the house and she knew all that have gone on. She probably cried because she liked me and knew I may die.
I couldn't take my eyes off the door until he walked in. The beautiful Devil, at least I had seen a beautiful man. Someone more than handsome, yet a Devil. For my tears, it seems they knew my situation.
I wanted to faint but my adrenaline didn't help me with that. His face was just like the time he hit someone at his warehouse, where he wanted to kill me the other time.
I was shaking so hard but he walked toward me with that face looking into my eyes. My drinks spilled bit by bit and dropped on the bed and my lap.
"Pour her another last drink", he whispered to Lilly.
She quickly poured it for me, I didn't know what would happen if I dropped it again so I kept my ground to make sure it didn't drop. The more I tried, the more it spilled. I looked into Lilly's eyes and she cried again but I could feel that she had no help for me and I understood.
He came to stand right beside me, I was sitting at the right edge of the bed and I had neck pains as well, yet I lift my head to see his face while I cried out this time.
"Please, pl... forgive me. I'm won't come to your trash to pick bread again."
"Did you eat any food from Tracy today?"
I nodded to his question.
" She ate my food again!".
"Aww, I didn't know. I was so hungry and couldn't control it this time." I cried bitterly. I had eaten the devil's meal again. No wonder, Tracy had a taste of it. Something, specially made for the Devil was so worth it.
" What's her name!?", he asked
"Barbara..."Lilly said and run out when the devil looked at her. He probably gave her a sign with his gorgeous devilish eyes.
"At least, I'll know what I'd write on your grave today.", he said to me looking into my eyes. Then, sat beside me. The blood on his shirt scared me so much and his personality as well. But, seeing the blood, I knew my end had come.
He held the glass of drink in my hand. I had grabbed it so hard, but he took it and it didn't crack. He drank it and dropped the glass on the table beside me and held my right hand. He cleared the hair which had covered my face and watched my face as if he was looking for something from my eyes.
He brought his face closer to mine, and his other hand wiped some tears off my face. He just looked at me. The scary look on his face had vanished into thin air.
His head just came to face and lips just came closer and closer. I saw enough of his beauty.
His pink lips landed on my cheeks and I froze for a moment. The first man ever to kiss my cheeks unexpectedly. I felt like hugging him, though I was afraid. How could he possibly perk me? The cry stopped at that instant and all I did was tremble. I began sweating profusely. Did the Devil have interest in me or that was a kiss of death?
"Do you think I can kill someone like you?" He asked in a cold voice whispering in my ears. I felt his lips-it was touching my ears again. The feeling was truly pleasurable but I could not talk for the moment. "You'll be so easy to be killed, I can just pierce a bullet into your heart or with my favorite dagger. I can cremate you alive also, which one do you prefer?"
"I...I... don't want to die..." I have begun to cry and tremble again. Unintentionally, I saw myself holding his ring finger so tight; I didn't want to leave him.
"Hahahaha!!" He laughed so hard and brushed my hair with his other hand like I were his pet.
The nosy maids peeped, the laugh was so hard and he wouldn't stop. What was funny about my crying? Instead of him being sad, all he did was laugh devilishly and show me all his teeth. I wanted to poke my hand into his nose. "Why do you have my fingers!?" He exclaimed and then the chuckle vanished suddenly. He was back to normal.
"I'm sorry- I didn't intend to..." I implored and let go of his cute ring finger.
"Lilly, change her room and give her a decent bath. I don't want to see any spot of blood on her." He ordered his maid who was peeping. His back was facing the door and how the fuck did he noticed Lilly was hiding there being nosy. "I think I should take her to the hospital tomorrow, how bad does your arm hurt, poor little thing?" He asked me as he stood up in an attempt to get out but he was watching me give him an answer. I bobbed twice and he laughed again.
"I.. yeah...I don't want to die." I belabored my plead.
"That was not what I asked." He said and walked out.
