Into The Devil’s Heart

“stop doing that and let’s get in… I don’t have all day for you” Baston grumbles, displeased with how childish she is behaving

“And what if I don’t? You will run to your devil boss and tell him? Such a grumpy old man” Are Drey mocks and keeps on eating her chicken ignoring the fact everyone is watching her. Worse is, she had no gloves on. Oil could be seen dripping down her fingers.

“watch your mouth, I’ve had enough from you” Baston warns but that didn’t scare the girl as she responds and bites on her food.

” Well, if you think you’ve truly had enough, tell your devil boss to appoint you another work order than babysitting me” She flashes him a mocking smile.

Baston grinds their teeth in anger unable to squeeze the life out of her. If not for the fact that she was his boss’s pet, he would have slit her throat and deprived her of oxygen till she runs out of life.

“if you act like your age, I won’t be here watching over you… And do you think I fancy this? Gosh! I hate this work and you, so much that I wish Don had killed you from the onset” He blurted out.

That took Audrey by surprise as she stared at him with wide eyes, unable to believe what he just pouted out.

Even though she knows she is annoying, hearing he wishes she was dead hurts like hell. But as strong as she is, she brushes away the awkward feeling.

His lips pull up into a smile that says more than what she intends to say, “Too bad he didn’t, and you can’t do anything about it… Absolutely nothing” She takes a few strides towards him.

The boldness and confidence she was feeling now surprised her but then, what’s more to it than showing this right-hand man of the devil that she is not just an ordinary weak girl from that day? That she is and will make an escape right under his nose and he will be greatly punished for that?

“You see me as nothing, but you forget to know that you are nothing but his slave… If he can kill his bunny, then, he can kill you too in the blink of an eye” She smiled at him, let go of the bone in her hands, and intentionally made it fall on his shoes.

“Oops, my bad!” She puts on a sorry face, “didn’t know you were standing but it’s ok, now I know” She turns and stares at the big supermarket.

Baston felt like exploding, she was getting on his nerves and he didn’t think he could do it on his own if he’d been left with her for another second. He grinds on his teeth, takes in a deep breath, and pulls out a tissue from his trousers.

“Um, I can’t possibly go in like this… I need a wipe” Audrey said, her gaze fell on the tissue in his hands but she didn’t reach for it.

Instead, she did the undoable by wiping her hands on his white t-shirt and staining it.

“I’m sure it’s no big deal” She glanced at him and his stained shirt, ” you can just get another one… My friendship offer”

With that, she turns and leaves with a satisfied smile. Since he thought he could belittle her, it was high time she showed him who was above whom.

Anyways, she’s got something he doesn’t have… That’s her female secret weapon, so long as Cannon wants her, she is his to punish and maltreat and no one else… Hence, Baston can only watch from afar and pour his anger out somewhere but not on her.

Baston watched her elegantly walk into the supermarket, stunned and still trying to understand what just happened.

“Fuck Angels!” He curses under his breath and takes one glance at her before walking to the car boot and pushing it open.

Audrey knew she’d got him hooked there, which would cause some delays and she would be able to strategize her escape well.

She looked around, the supermarket was lightly populated. smiles form on her lips knowing her plans will be successful.

From afar, she saw Baston approaching through the glass door. Unconsciously, she bites her lips glancing around in fright.

She caught sight of a red dress and a black hat by the side, then high platform heels and black heels opposite where the dress was placed.

Quick, she grabbed them and turned to leave but the lips red lipstick in the glass box made her stop abruptly. For her to make a success, she needs the change her look.

Before she takes the lipstick, she glances behind one more time to make sure Baston isn’t anywhere close.

As soon as she got the things she needed for her escape, she disappeared into the lady’s room.

Outside, Baston had a frown on his face as he searched around for her. He knows the market is tight up with people coming in and going out but to think he can’t find Audrey anywhere around got him wondering where the bunny might have gone this time.

While Baston was bursting his brain outside searching for her, Audrey was well dressed inside. She looks so different, like a CEO boss lady, elegant and beautiful.

She smiles at her beauty but smiles, even more knowing it will be the last day for her to get to take any more shit from the devil and his minion.

She tights her hair into a bun with a few short strands falling to her face and puts on the hat. Her look was one in a million.

After was done applying the lipstick, she clamped her lips three times with a satisfied smile. Apply some of the lipstick on her cheeks lightly to make it already pink and there, she was set to go.

With confidence, she walks out of the lady’s room with so much style and immediately grabs a black back by the side and makes her way out of the building.

Her beauty and bossy look made everyone in the hallways frost in their steps, lost in awe of her beauty.

The entire hallway was filled with murmurs from left and right as she made her way out ignoring the thousands of eyes on her including those of men with lust and admiration.

She took in a deep breath when she was finally out, “first step completed” she said to herself and opened the bag as if she kept something inside, and to her greatest surprise, there was something inside.

It was black eyeglasses, she smiled even more and had them on in no time.

Just when she was about to turn around, she bumped into someone and the glasses fell to the ground and shattered.

“Watch out!” she said, scared that whosoever bumps into her might get injured.

She raises her head to see the person only to be stunned, mouth hung open in disbelief as she stares at the person lost for words.

She could have guessed anyone in this lifetime but never would she have thought it would be him, that same man who hurt her in a way she will never be able to get the wounds healed.

“Dad?” She calls out in a haggard voice, still trying to process things. It could be that she is just hallucinating things.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
