Devil's Snare by Sruthionyx (open ebook TXT) 📗

Rafael is not stupid. He will marry for the sake of the world, so when the time comes and someone attacks the queen as Victor said, Sadie will be the target and dead, who knows maybe he will stage the attack himself. He wouldn’t think of it, he will deal with it when the time comes, but he has bigger things at hand now. He will spend his day side by side with his siren today.

Just as when Rafael walked out of the gym, Silas walked in holding a file in his hand. “Come in Silas, how is the move? Did you shift everything?” he asked, and Silas knows very well it was not for him, it was for her.

As Silas was about to say something a little thing came and hugged Rafael by his feet. He was shocked looking at the little kid who clung to his legs like a leech and looking up at him with curious eyes.

Mr. Paul came by and took the little kid out of his hands. Silas and Rafael were unsure as to why the kid took a liking to Rafael; this is his first time interacting with kids of any kind. Mr. Paul took the kid away and Silas and Rafael walked into his office to look at the file.

Silas handed over the file and walked away. Rafael opened it with too much happiness in his heart. He opened it and he was greeted by a beautiful picture of a little girl, she was about 7 in a white dancing outfit with socks and hair tied in a neat bun. “You were always cute, weren’t you Felicita?”, he turned to the next page and this time he met with a girl in an outfit that he had never seen in his life, the outfit is white and gold, it fit her body real well accentuating her curves. Her makeup was neatly done and her usually big eyes were highlighted with neatly lined kohl. Her hair had flowers in it and there was a huge halo-type ornament on her head. In one word she looked like an angel from heaven. He searched for the dress she was wearing and found out that it is worn for dance art called Kuchipudi. He had not one clue what that was, but he loved looking at her in that dress.

“quindi, hai sempre amato ballare la bambina” (so, you always loved dancing baby girl?) He turned to the next page and that had her details, she was an undergraduate in pharmaceutical science. Now that’s something he didn’t expect, what shocked him even more are her grades, she had all top scores and some paper publications as well.

“What are you doing here then piccolo?”, he asked himself, and the answer was on the next page, “Ah!! Medical chemistry masters, wow you are one talented girl”, he was very satisfied looking at her background. More importantly, he loved looking at her pictures, especially the one with the outfit. This was many of the firsts where he jerked off to a picture of a girl whom he would normally consider as out of his status.

“We are going to have so much fun, baby girl”, he chucked to himself as he wanted to see her at work firsthand today.

Meanwhile, Alzea woke up feeling stressed. The girl hadn’t had proper sleep since that night at the club. She got up usually and got dressed for her work unknowing of the consequences that are waiting for her.

She reached her job destination and walked over into the house as usual, but the house had very little stuff in it. She was shocked and curious to know what happened to the place, she was informed that they are moving to a new place and Alzea was expected to be there. In no time, the driver arrived and picked her up and they are on their way to her new job location.

The whole ride her mind was in a frenzy, and she had a bad feeling about this whole move. They say gut feelings are guardian angels, but her brain made her brush it off to the side and dismissed it as her anxiety telling her things. In no time, they reached the Cavallo mansion, she stepped into the house, and she did not have a good feeling, and the high ceilings did not ease her heart, the mansion was very intimidating and felt huge. It looked like the type of house where people get killed in haunted movies. “Nope!! Now is not the time to flaunt your movie knowledge Alzi, not now.” She told herself calming her raging heart.

Just as when she was about to look for some human beings around, two little hands hugged her from behind. Alzea picked the kid up kissing him on his cheeks. “Look, Al, this house is big, so big. It has room for me and Mr. Paul”, he said playing with the locket on her neck.

“Is that so? Do you like it here munchkin?” she asked ruffling his hair. “Yes! And the big mammoth from the party is here too”. He said making Alzea wonder who it was.

Mr. Paul walked in with Silas behind him. “Miss Galanis, from now on we will be staying here, there is extra room for you if it gets late, you can put an extra set of clothes in there if you want to”, said Silas briefly looking at her and he left for somewhere.

Mr. Paul stepped in and Alzea put the kid down and asked, “what is with the move Mr. Paul?”.

“I have no idea, we were informed last night, and we are here early morning, I guess little master liked this place, that is a good thing?” he said more like a question.

“I see, come on munchkin, we have speech therapy today. Becca will be here in an hour; we need to feed you and change your clothes” she said walking into the kitchen and looking for something to feed the kid.

The minute she stepped into the kitchen, she was met with a scene of a man and a woman eating each other’s mouths. Alzea immediately covered the kid’s curious eyes and the kid started fussing, the sound of something made the man and woman stop their actions and look at standing Alzea.
