Description
Would you sell your soul for fame? Adelaide did. Now the Devil is back, and he wants to make a new deal. Her soul in exchange for evidence that his son is breaking the law. But what happens when she finds herself falling in love with the Devil's son. Adelaide is caught between her past and present as her plan to uncover the truth starts to unravel. Unsure of her future, she fights to gain control of her life. • • • "Ms. Hepburn, we have a delivery for you," an assistant said nervously, a vase full of red roses in her hand. "Thank you, please just set them over there," I stated with a smile, pointing to an empty table next to my stuff. After she passed I looked over to the main entrance, there were multiple vases of roses. I went to the one that had a note pinned to one of the thorny flowers. It said 'Six hundred and sixty-six reasons that I want to see you again. - Lucius Stewart.' How did he even know I would be here? I was in complete shock. Six hundred and sixty-six flowers for six hundred and sixty-six reasons? He might as well have just tattooed 'Devil's Spawn' on his forehead. How could one man be so rich and so powerful, seemingly just as smart, but be so God damn cliche? It would've been more respectable for him to have put 'Hey! Can't wait to sixty-nine with you!' Might as well just introduce himself as his unholiness and tell everyone about all the souls he tortured during his childhood. I have six hundred and sixty-six reasons to want to make him fall in love with me so that I don't have to live in hell for all eternity. Un-fucking-believably stupid. Unless he's trying to mind game me and is trying to see if I'm just the stupid little model he thinks I am? • • • #84 ONC2020 #128 opennovellacontest2020 Made it to round 3! :)))
