The Devilman's Epiphany ✔️

V-Don't act like I'm satan when you're known as the Devilman

"You realize you didn't do shit yet, right?" Yes. But I refuse to acknowledge it. "What do you want?" I asked. I knew the answer. I also knew he wanted to watch me do what he wants me to do. "Don't play dumb. You're sexier when you act like yourself." He walked past me to lead the way. "I need to talk to someone. Wait here."

I huffed as I crossed my arms. "I've been working here for six years and he still doesn't know my fucking name. He called me Melanie." The girl in the office said as her voice cracked. "It's okay Melody that new whore isn't half as good as you are. You know that." She nodded. "I had a feeling. I knew he didn't sleep with me because he likes me." I couldn't help my laugh. Okay maybe I could but I wanted to be a bitch anyway.

The girl looked my way and I pretended to wipe a tear. "Oh. I'm sorry." I dropped my laugh when they kept watching me. "I thought you were joking," I said as she came close to me trying to look intimidating. She was a buff girl. "About what?" She said angrily. "Rex liking you," I said and she smirked. "You think he likes you?" She let out a bitter laugh. Oh, we're so not going there.

"No. That's my point. People like me and Rex are... like drugs. We'll make you believe we love or like you and make you happy till we get what we need and you have nothing left." I said as my smile completely dropped. I felt Rex's presence behind me. "You're more observing than I thought." He muttered and I started walking forward. He caught up to me and showed me the room they use for the real business. I peeked at the desk outside of the room. Now here's where they keep the good shit.

"Hmm," I muttered as I picked up the light blade before examining it more carefully. I lightly pressed it thinking I'll get a paper cut but to my surprise blood rushed out. "Are you crazy?" Rex placed a cloth on my hand. "Calm down, I won't die," I said. "Unfortunately." He said back. "Oh, you want me to die? Why didn't you let your daddy kill me then?" I emphasized what needed to be emphasized and walked to the room with a smirk. It instantly left my lips when I walked in. This room brought back memories. But mostly good.

I felt Rex move to the back as I watched Jeremy with the clothing in his mouth. "Don't mind me. I'm just watching." Rex said smugly and I made my way up to Jeremy. I took everyone by surprise by swinging my leg and sitting on his lap. He had a smug look which I'm going to take advantage of. I grabbed the clothing from his mouth and threw it in the ground carelessly. "Why didn't we do this back in the club." He said quietly.

"Do you even know who I actually am?" His smirk dropped. "I had my suspicions but now I realize who you are. You look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you." He said and I rolled my eyes before getting up. "Jeremy you're too easy, it's honestly so boring." I sighed and grabbed the blade from my pocket. "Hm. I would've expected something more excessive." He muttered. "I'm not like my mother," I replied and his eyes widened. "Oh, I know. You wouldn't be able to do things she did." I stumbled.

"What things." That wasn't a question. "Your mom is a powerful woman Arabella. Could you really take her place and do the things she has done? Would you kill the man you love in front-" I sliced his mouth before he could finish and shouting filled my ears. He just poked the mama bear.

"This isn't about me, Jeremy. Who the fuck are the spies." I held him by the neck viciously. "They don't-" it probably hurt when he spoke. "They're not my spies. They work for someone else but they're my men." He said then winced. "Who do they work for?" I asked puzzled. "You'll find out shortly." He smiled. "You know you're going to die either way." It doesn't matter if he tells me or not, he knows I'm going to kill him so there's no point.

"Before you kill me I should just tell you, your brothers working for me." I wasn't surprised. I knew about the brother. My mom whored around and slept with one of my father's friends before she met my father. She left my brother right after birth. "Okay," I said. He didn't need to join the mafia, he wasn't forced like I am which pissed me off.

"He's pretty shit." He shrugged. That's really expected. "And your mother was looking for him." That caught my attention "So uh. What's it going to be? Dagger to the heart or are you feeling more exotic?" He asked and I chuckled. "I'm not a simple woman Jeremy. There are so many choices and I'm indecisive. I guess we'll have to try all of them till I'm satisfied." I'm getting my questions answered whether he gives in or not.

I went straight to the bathrooms not giving a shit about the people on my way. My mom is looking for my brother. Fucking Jeremy died like a weak ass bitch before I got my answer which means I failed. I don't like failing. I knew these weren't the real reason behind my anger. How did he know about what my mom did? She doesn't even let me bring it up. The girls here gasped when Rex walked straight in. "My office. Two minutes." He said before walking out. I gripped the sink to stop myself from crying or breaking the mirror I'm looking at.

I walked out before giving myself time to feel better and walked to the office. "What the fuck was that?" I knew what he was talking about. I just.. change when I enter that room. My snarky-mouthed sarcastic self leaves a terrifying person behind. "What? Don't tell me you're any better. I've heard stories about you. What you did to people. Don't act like I'm satan when you're known as the Devilman." I looked at him behind the table. "What did your mom do? Besides that who the fuck is your brother and why is your mom looking for him? It's not like she gives two shits about her children."

"Rex shut the fuck up right now." I need to get him angry. I need to feel pain. Physical pain to numb me from the emotional one. He gripped my hair like the first day we met and looked into my eyes. "Don't fucking stare at me like that. I'm not ordered by you. Or anyone. If you have a problem with that.. deal with it." I said and he made me feel even worse because he knew what I was trying to do. I'd piss mom off when I was about to cry because if I cried... it would earn me a day in the room. The room where I-... the room where everything happened.

He let me go. He just acted as nothing happened and let me go. "Don't be a fucking coward Rex." I snarled. "I'm not touching you." He replied as he leaned to the desk. "Why? Didn't you do it on the rink? What happened? If your dad saw you being a pussy like this he wouldn't be happy." I smirked and felt him tense at the mention of his father. "What's... Arabella, why are you provoking me?" He asked in a warning tone.

He's not going to hurt me.

"Fine. I'll get someone else to do it." I said and he was in front of me before I could open the door. He held my arms to prevent me. "Let me go, Rex!" I pushed him backward. "Hit me!" I yelled. "Stop being a pussy and do it!" My voice cracked. "What's hurting you this much?" He asked softly. That's the first time I've heard him speak that way and hopefully the last because he wasn't helping my case.

Before I could answer I noticed that my gaze was blurry and a tear dropped right from my eye. "No." I stumbled as I walked back and my back hit the desk. "She knows, Rex. She always knows." I muttered as I looked up at him. I couldn't keep my tears anymore. Rex was in front of me when I opened my eyes again. "She's going to take me," I told him, more like warned him.

He looked at me like... I don't know that expression. I flinched out of my body when his big arms wrapped around me.

I... I didn't know what to do so I relayed on my first instinct. I threw my arms around him and grabbed as much of his shirt I could. "What are you so afraid of?" He whispered gently. "My moms going to take me to the roof again and tie me there. Then he's going to come to Rex. I don't want him to come in. It always gets worse when he gets me alone." I felt him move his arms upwards which made me raise in the air. He let me hug him as much as I needed.
