The Devil's Wife

(3)

Why?!

I knew she doesn't love me but ... 

How could she?! What did I do to her? Selling me to the devil was the least I expected from her.

"Fear"

I raise my head to look at the world's sworn enemy. 

" What if I tell you, you won't die but you have to do what I say"

" Listening to you is dying slowly so what's the difference?"

Ignoring my words he went on 

" Marriage deal. Marry me"

what?! A deal? With the devil and a marriage? 

Why does death sounds better?

Frowning " you have no options"

" On what terms?"

" You have to live with me and I won't harm your family."

"Heh heh heh ... Do you even have a house??"

" Since I'm taking a wife why not have a house?"

No choice doesn't mean forfeit.

" I will accept it but I have conditions."

...

" What?"

Smiling " firstly we won't marry before the age of 21"

"And?"

" Secondly I'm free of all wife and husband deeds and will do only what I want."

"..."

" Thirdly if you harm directly or indirectly anyone then the deal is cancelled."

" Okay let's establish the contract. It will only take a few seconds but before the end I need to add a third condition after all equality is what women fought for."

Something seem wrong, he is too calm.

" My third condition is if your family offer you to me willingly before you turn 21 then all your conditions are invalid"

Wait?! What??

" Contract established"

Wait! What?!

" No ! I don't agree

" The contract is established, do you intend to go against??"

" No..."

I knew he was certainly too calm. I must not let myself to get marry before the age of 21.

Going out of the hotel... No comment, I took a taxi. Remembering about everything that happened from yesterday's dinner till now. I'm still horrified after all I faced Lucifer like the real angel changing to a devil... Oh Lord help me.

Arriving at our family's house's door, I was quite doubtful if I should knock or not.. then cries were heard from inside. And the door swung open leaving my ' crying aunt' in shock.

" My dear daughter, Ella"

" Father"

" Where were you dear? What happened?! Come on enter don't stay at the door."

"My dear Ella, I'm so sorry it's my fault. You surely went through lots " 

An oscar, my aunt should have been an actress.

" Ella.. "

" Dad, I have something-"

" Don't talk much dear you should rest. " 

" Why? Is aunt afraid ? Why so agitated?

" No .. of course not. I'm just worrying about you... Is no big deal. Rest for a while after all everything can be said tomorrow"

" Dad, I.."

" Go on if you want to talk about it..."

"But she should rest first. Who knows what she went through. She needs some energy as she may still..."

" No need aunt, I could-"

" Ella... Go on resting."

" But dad?"

He turned and left us before I could say anymore. Ha she's so lucky.

" Listen Ella what about leaving the past behind?"

" I won't ever forgive you even after my death."

I said leaving her in the living room.

But then later on that night I received a visit.

My room's temperature went quite down like a dead body was being kept in...

Him.

What was it he wants now?

Why hide?  " Just come out" 

"Say it what was it again?"
