Mirabelle's p.o.v
I didn't know what made me start searching the whole house,we had found no clue from the crime scene but we later found out that one of the men especially the butcher was missing.
Going through Sheila's drawer and using the opportunity to arrange the messy drawer,I found my missing phone charger,I had looked for which they said I had misplaced making me to buy a new one.
If she wanted it why didn't she say so, lifting a stack of clothes,I yelped as little cockroaches darted out of it.
Silly me! I later noticed that a notebook had slipped out.it had been beneath the clothes,curiosity piqued I opened the book.
The pages were filled with cryptic messages,codes and symbols,when had she deviated from art? One entry caught her eye.
Eclipse tonight.Meet J at midnight.-S"
Mirabella rummaged through Sheila's messy dresser, searching for her missing phone charger. As she lifted a stack of clothes, a notebook slipped out, hiding beneath. Curiosity piqued, Mirabella opened the book.
The pages were filled with cryptic messages, codes, and symbols. One entry caught her eye:
"Eclipse tonight. Meet J at midnight. -S"
Mirabelle's mind raced,what did this mean? What the hell was Sheila doing,she wasn't supposed to be invading someone's property.
She flipped through more pages,she found a sketch of their city skyline with the building circled - the same building where ET cooperation,the company Devlin owned,was located.
She tilted her head to a side,was Sheila making a pass on Devlin.
Her phone buzzed.
"Detective,I can't find my butler and oddly yet calm voice relayed.
Mirabelle chuckled eyes flickering from the book back to the caller id.speak of the devil and he shall arrive.
Am on my way.
....
The magnificent building stood on a large hectare of land,with a beautiful garden.the house was oddly silent.Devlin was nowhere to be found,hands on her gun she entered calling his name.
Coming down from the stairs leading to the bedrooms he didn't acknowledge his name but watched me.
His gaze as if bored and relaxed for someone who had a staff missing.
I couldn't find him after two days,his wife said he hadn't been home after work,making a sad face he gazed solemnly at me.
What came to my mind was that it was fake,his emotions seemed fake,he was kind of different.
Coming to hold my hands,his thumb grazing my knuckles"I called you as soon as I knew that it needed someone like you,I think something worse has happened to him.
His long lashes framed his beautiful eyes,lips so sensual I wish it was from it I got my first kiss,he was heavenly looking from up close.
His scent clean and crisp,she wanted to step closer and inhale."you would do your best right?
Snapping out of my rambulations,I asked him when last he had seen the butler." wednesday night he replied staring at me.
Frowning,it was the same night the bloody crime was done." Can I do a search on the house.
Giving me the most blinding smile he guestured his hands open,you may proceed.
What was he up to?
Devlin's p.o.v.
Sitting down reading the newspaper.I was became bored to death my legs on the table in front of me.
Demon spirit decided to play again,why don't we give your crush a phone call? It said in a conversational tone.
I kicked against it,I didn't want to get myself distracted.And by the way who said it was my crush?
Demon spirit chuckled"the butcher isn't dead yet, it reminded.
I had not an idea to what it was talking about. Before I could say jack it brought the telephone and dialled her number.
Watching in horror,with a panicking voice it said" Detective I can't find my butler and hung up.
Looking at me it had a smug expression on its face,then changing into the voice of a girl it squealed.
"When is our wife going to stay with us?
I eyed it as though my bullshit meter was ticking in the red zone.What wife? Who and whose wife? As I cast it a skeptical look.
If he was referring to the tall beautiful lady who had barged into his office claiming to be this body's wife,demon spirit better think twice.
Isn't she beautiful? it asked.
I rolled my eyes,she wasn't for me.
I get why?it said watching me as if to get a clue from my face.
Why?I stressed.
It scrunched up its face,the detective! She isn't as beautiful and evil hearted like our wife,it complained.
I couldn't believe he called her to come and look for someone he had killed with acid,let the butcher go and claimed a foreign woman as wife?
Your wife! And not mine,the detective is way prettier than your so called ugly princess! I snapped.
It pretended an outrageous shock and promised to deal with me.
The door opened and the detective stepped in,let's go greet your ....ugh...
We went downstairs,hands on her gun she looked hot as she stood there with a poised air.
Demon spirit huffed.
My detective,I thought
Don't forget it was you who killed your butler, demon spirit interrupted.
That brought the thought to a halt,she shouldn't know about this. De mon spirit used that minute to begin his acting career.
Luring her to the locked room, where we had killed the butler. She entered looking for what I had no inkling about.
Eyes drifting down her form,I breathed in clean air whenever she was around I felt internal peace.
And with me you feel? Demon spirit cut in scoffing.
You already know the answer,you are the sore in my wound,if I could squash you it would have given me internally peace.
It hummed quietly.
I knew it wanted to do something,it made me rip the door handle and as she had her back to us,demon spirit launched
At that moment was when something fell and she bent to pick it, the weapon in my hands fell.
Demon spirit cocked his head.
She turned to stare at me,demon spirit as quiet as never before,it resided to the back as she stared like she could see my soul.
The idiot had fled,why was he afraid of her.She came closer hands still on the weapon.
Reaching me,she stretched her hands towards me.....
Calm your heart beat! It snapped harshly
Was she to touch me....
The hand went for the door behind me,it's doorknob missing,her eyebrow raised.
What now demon spirit,I asked already showing signs of perspiration.
Don't ask me she is your crush not mine,it spat residing more and more into me.
It had fled me! I thought in horror,I didn't want to go to jail.
Devlin,why did the knob come down near me? She asked, watching my every move.
How could she see through me like this?I had to come up with something,her eyes,daggers.
I collapsed on her.
Demon spirit rolled the eyes,fading away as it hissed " do you have to touch her so bad?
