LIVING WITH A DEVIL - EPISODE 99 AND 100

“What… Wha… What did you… Just say” Sapphire stammered.

Seth went on his knees, still crying so much, he just couldn’t control the tears as they fell down his cheeks.

“I’m so sorry Sapphire, I did it out of frustration, I never knew it’d turn out like this” he said painfully.

Sapphire smiled and went to him, she held him and tried pulling him up.

“Stand, I know you’re lying, it’s Impossible right?” She said.

“I asked you this way; care for a good f*ck?, And you replied this way; yes, f*ck me” he said and her eyes widened more.

It’s f*cking true.

She stepped back from her and covered her mouth with her palm..

“I’m the beginning of your pains, I’m so sorry pretty… I’m sorry it’s all my fault” he cried again.

Sapphire’s big eyes produced tears immediately, they ran down her cheeks massively.

“Michael no…. It’s not you…. You didn’t drug me, you didn’t do it” she cried.

“You came into the club with two girls, you took the cup of margarita from the second bartender” he said .

” No!!!!!! ” She screamed, falling on her knees, one would think she’ll pass out.

Seth rushed to her and held her tight.

“I know I don’t deserve you but…. I dunno what to say anymore, I’m a bastard seriously” he said.

” It’s a lie Michael, it’s a lie!! ” She cried, trying to break free but he held tight.

” You know I’m saying the truth Sapphire” he cried and she continued crying so loud.

They both stayed that way till she suddenly stood with red face.

“YOU” she said

He stood, facing her.

He knew he has no chance with her anymore, not just anymore, not after all the pains he caused.

“You made me into what I am today, you turned me to a nymphomaniac Seth!!” She screamed.

” I’m a monster I know” he cried.

” And you said you never raped” she said, her eyes bright with anger

Sapphire…

” Drugging me to make me get horny just to f*ck me!, That’s same thing as raping! ” She screamed at the top of her voice,her hair scattering on her face, some glued with the tears, making her look scary.

Seth roughed his hair and gritted his teeth , cursing deeply at himself, unable to say a word

“Do you know how much I hurt myself all because of the nympho?” She said, tears streaming down her face.

” I know about all your scars” he replied and she went closer to him.

She punched his face and he fell on the ground.

“You make me wanna puke, you’re the most slimy monster I’ve ever met….get lost!!!” She screamed and stormed out of the room.

“Babe, what really happened?” Jacinthe asked worriedly, seeing her red face and eyes.

” I’m going home” she replied without looking back and continued walking out.

Lila suddenly blocked her way and laughed.

“Oh… someone got heartbroken, guess your lover boy told you what he did to you already…bang!” She said.

Sapphire pushed her out of the way and left the hostel.

Lila exchanged glances with wounded Reno and they both smiled.

“Hazel” Nadia muttered and Rowen came in Immediately.

“Hazel Woods, you can’t hide the truth forever you know” he said, angrily walking to her.

Lila’s eyes widened and so is Reno.

“Nadia was right, you’re a product of plastic surgery… Lila is dead since some months ago, you have her face don’t you? ” Rowen said, standing in front of Lila.

” Ion know what you’re talking about!” She spat.

“Lila was my sis” a voice said from the hostel door.

Everyone turned to the door only to see Roger… The guy Rowen met in New York.

“She ran away from home since she was thirteen, just to join gangsters, two months ago … We heard about her death and only the pictures of her dead body were what we got, she was shot in the heart and we didn’t even get to give her a proper burial cos we didn’t see her dead body, so you boldly sold her face to another person right?, A b*tch” Roger said to Reno’s face.

” Lila was a b*tch when she was still alive too” Reno said.

” So it’s true, you’re Hazel” Jacinthe said, facing her.

Hazel winked at Reno and they both dashed out of the hostel immediately.

“We have to get them no matter what” Rowen said

They all rushed out and went after them , the car race started immediately but Reno is a rough driver.

He darted into a corner and before they could make it there, he was gone.

“Shit!’ Rowen ranted angrily.

*****

The Hunt’s house**

Julia was just getting home from work, smiling when she remembered how sweet her boss is behaving lately.

He’s so easy to fall for and he’s knowingly seducing her, she’s ready to fall into his charm anyways..he’s charming.

She took off her heels in the living room and made to go in but the opening of the front door made her turn back only to see Sapphire in tears.

Her shoes fell from her hand and she rushed to her.

“Baby what’s wrong?, Why the tears Sapphire?, Talk to mummy please” she said, holding her face.

“Mum” she cried, hugging her tightly.

“Daughter tell me what’s wrong, it hurts to see you like this” Julia said, feeling hurt to see her tears.

“He did it” Sapphire cried.

“Huh?”

“My predicament, he caused it,he made me a nymphomaniac” she cried more loudly and Julia broke the hug gently.

“Ion get you” she said.

“You’ve always wanted to know what happened to me at the club that made me come home crying two years ago right?” She sniffed.

” Sure” Julia replied patiently.

“I watched a live porn with Vida and Judy, I drank a cup of margarita after that, then I started feeling weird and f*cking horny, it was so hard to control that I rushed into one of the available rooms with the aim of finger f*cking myself but this guy came and offered free s*x, I had no choice in my vulnerability, I gave in mum, I lost my virginity to a stranger but mum….” She hiccuped

Julia held her face, trying to calm her down.

” Mum today…some minutes ago . .. I mean… this night… that stranger turned out to be my Mich, he told me my drink was actually drugged with s*x urge pills and he was the one who added it two years ago…he did it intentionally mum… mum I wanna die” she cried.

Julia hugged her immediately, understanding everything she just said.

It came as a shock to her too but she could do nothing but pet and console her right now.

“I love you so much Sapphire, I know you’ll scale through this so just cry it all out on my shoulder” she said gently.

Sapphire continued crying loudly,not stopping for a long time.

*****

Carats hostel**

“How did you meet Roger?” Nadia asked as she walked back into the hostel with Rowen and the guys.

Roger went back to where he was supposed to pass the night at.

“He came to see a relative and I bumped into him by chance, he noticed I was moody and asked why, I told him the whole stuff and immediately I mentioned HELL BOYS, he told me everything, I found out that way ” Rowen said

” It’s too shocking that the real Lila turned out to be his sis, wait…the cops” Nadia said.

” I contacted them already, I’m sure they’re searching their rooms already” Rowen said and truly, when they got in fully, cops were just coming out of their rooms but unfortunately, they found no evidence.

“We’ll continue our search for them no matter what, if it concerns Michael Langford, we’ll do everything possible” one of them said and Rowen nodded as they left.

” Won’t it be good if madam Sophia knows about this?” Jacinthe said.

” No, she’ll be so worried” Rowen said.

“But it’s almost like Seth and Sapphire aren’t safe, Hazel and Reno are dangerous, I’m sure they came back for them” Nadia said.

” They came back for us too but I guess we’re too hard to tackle” Rowen smiled.

” Hard tack” Nadia smiled.

” Guys” Hardin said, rushing in with Blaine and Clark

“How come we’re just hearing about it” Clark said.

” I’m sorry but there was no time to contact you guys” Rowen said…

“Does that really make sense?, A phone call would have solved everything but you didn’t call….they escaped!” Blaine said.

” Ok I’m sorry, I guess I wasn’t thinking straight back then” Rowen said.

” Where’s Sapphire and Michael?” Hardin asked.

“They must be in their room” Jacinthe said and they all went there, the door isn’t shut.

They went in and met Seth sitting on the bare ground beside the bed, crying profusely.

“Hey dude what’s wrong?” Rowen said, rushing to him first.

Seth only cried more, how will he tell them what he did to her?”

” Ok please… we’re in the dark here…we just found out Hazel was using Lila’s face to fool us and here you are, scaring us with your tears” Nadia said.

” And where’s Sapphire?” Jacinthe asked.

“She left” he replied.

“Left?, Why?”

“She must be so scared to stay with a monster, i did something terrible to her two years ago, I’m the reason why she turned to a nymphomaniac” he said.

” She’s a nymphomaniac?” Everyone except Nadia asked.

“Yes” Nadia replied.

“I met her in the dark clubhouse two years ago, I added the pills to make her horny in her margarita, disguised as the bartender, she took it and I went in with her,I f*cked her and took her virginity, I guess the pills I used were too much, it turned her to a crazy nympho” he explained, still in tears

His tears has soaked the front of his shirt.

“Why…why… would you do that to her” Jacinthe quivered.

“Why!” She yelled, almost crying…full of pity for Sapphire.

“You really did?, You did?, Huh?” Nadia said hurtfully.

” I did” Seth replied.

” How could you” Clark said.

” I understand you were a gangster back then but…that was cruel” Hardin said .

” Seriously your lovestory is the most complicated one I’ve ever seen, why is there always no end to problems?, Why!” Blaine shouted.

Rowen sighed and swallowed nothing down his throat before hugging Seth, Seth continued crying on his shoulder.

“I hate you so much… Micheal” he muttered slowly while consoling him.

*****

HELL BOYS COVEN**

“It failed, it wasn’t even up to a week and we failed massively, bravo Reno, bravo!” Lila ranted angrily at Reno’s face.

“Was it my fault?, I’m sure they went to the hospital too, I told you to stop meeting your f*cking dad but you didn’t listen, and now you wanna heap all the blames on me?” Reno spat angrily too.

Lila sighed and lightened a smoke.

“What do we do right now?” She said.

“I have no idea and ion even wanna think!, If I haven’t driven crazily, we’d have got caught, ion want to get involved with Sophia Langford, she’s crazy when it comes to justice” Reno said and Lila held his face.

” It’s not over yet, our plan is to break them apart then kill them, he told her the secret already so i know they’re currently apart, it’s the best time to strike right now” she said

He slapped her hand away and smirked. “Then what about Rowen and Nadia?”

“I can face them once I’m done with Seth and Sapphire, Seth and Sapphire are my main targets cos they’re the reason I almost died!” She yelled.

Reno took the smoke from her and puffed on it.

“Do what suits you” he said.

“You don’t wanna f*ck her anymore?” Lila asked.

” Says who?” He said and she smiled.

*****

Next day, The Hunt’s house**

Julia walked into Sapphire’s room with the warm cup of coffee, she’s sitting up on bed, staring into space.

She did a lot before she was able to sleep last night and she woke up early too.

She handed the cup of coffee to her and she took it gently.

“Sip” Julia said and Sapphire gently sipped it .

“You’ll feel better soon” Julia said and Sapphire nodded.

Sapphire continued taking gentle sips and her phone buzzed again… Seth has been sending her apology messages since last night,it must be him again.

She checked and it’s really him.

*Please don’t leave me, find a way in your heart to forgive me … I can’t do without you anymore … I love you very much… I’m so sorry please gimme a chance to pick up the broken pieces Pretty…I love you f*cking much*

She finished reading it and switched off her phone cos if she doesn’t, his message will pop up the next minute again.

She threw her phone on the bed and Julia hugged her.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself, I won’t interfere cos it’s your decision to make, you said he was frustrated and was only looking for consolation back then, though I don’t support what he did but….do the right thing Sapphire” she said and Sapphire closed her eyes.

The doorbell sounded and Julia went out to get it.

It’s Mr McCoy. “Boss” she smiled brightly.

“Good morning” he said and engulfed her in his arms, hugging her tightly.

” Good morning boss” she replied and he pecked her cheek before breaking the hug.

“You know my name right?” He asked.

“Sure, Mr Levi McCoy” she smiled.

” Call me Levi please, I hate hearing Mr McCoy from you” he said and she smiled wider before hugging him again.

“You told me Sapphire was crying last night, I came to check on her” he said.

” Oh, she’s in her room, come with me” Julia said, leading the way in.

They got to her room and Sapphire stood quickly.

“Mr McCoy” she said slowly, surprised that he came.

“Hey beautiful, your face is still slightly swollen, meaning you really cried” he said.

“I’m ok now” she replied and he walked to her, he hugged her lightly, stroking her hair.

“Whatever it is, please shake it off, nothing beats staying alive you know” he said

” I’ll do that, thanks Mr McCoy” Sapphire replied, hugging him back.

Julia smiled as she watched the lovely scene, falling more and more for him.

*****

ONE WEEK LATER**

New York, 2:30pm**

Nora has her phone on her ear as she walked into the mansion, she’s just returning from school and it has been hectic, no time to make a call to Clark.

She had dialled Clark’s line immediately she came in.

“Hey love” she smiled when he picked.

“I’ve been expecting your call since ages cutie” he replied and her heart fluttered.

” I’m sorry school was hectic, I’m just getting home” she replied.

“It’s ok, I miss you” he replied and she blushed, biting her bottom lip.

” I miss you more, I feel like kissing you right now” she replied.

“Me too” he said and she jumped on her bed

” By the way Michael hasn’t been picking my calls” she said worriedly.

” Oh…he has a great reason for that, Michael is lost right now, I mean…he’s more like a living dead, you need to see him, he won’t eat nor talk to anyone, he’s always alone, crying or drinking, he smokes these days too” Clark said and Nora spranged up from the bed

” What!’

“Their relationship is complicated I swear, I’m not supposed to be telling you these but it won’t do good if I keep it from you” he said.

” What exactly happened?”

” Hazel came back with Lila’s face together with Reno and…

“Wait… Lila and Reno from HELL BOYS?” she interrupted.

“Yes, you knew about it?*

“Sure, I was aware of everything” she replied.

“Michael drugged someone in a clubhouse two years ago” Clark said.

” JK’S clubhouse” she said.

” You really know everything..well yes,the girl turned out to be Sapphire, immediately he confessed, she left and Michael hasn’t been himself, I mean.. it’s only been a week but he’s not ok at all… Reno and Lila escaped and the cops are on the lookout for them” Clark said.

Nora paced around confusedly.

” I’m sure Michael didn’t tell her the whole truth, if he told her, she won’t leave like that, Micheal actually helped her and about the drug, he was forced by Reno to do it… you don’t want to know what happened to Michael that night, it wasted one year of his life” Nora said.

” What do you mean?” Clark asked.

” I’ll call you later” Nora said and hung up.

“Oh no…the past is here Micheal, what do we do” she muttered.

****

Washington, a bar**

The smokes emanating from Seth’s cigarettes filled up the whole place, he smoked and drank and at the same time, he’s crying slowly.

It’s been a week, one f*cking week and he hasn’t seen her face or heard her voice.

He couldn’t even go to her house, how will he face her mum?

He hurt her but he’s hurt like crazy too, he took a puff of the smoke and held a handful of his hair before drinking from the bottle of alcohol.

Two years ago…the most dreaded year of his life… that night was the most dreaded night of his life.

He drank again and suddenly started feeling insane as more tears rushed down his eyes.

He remembered Reno’s words that night when he refused to drug her.

**YOU HAVEN’T BEEN FUNCTIONING SINCE YOU JOINED, YOU DON’T KILL NOR RAPE, BUT NOW I TOLD YOU TO DO SOMETHING AND YOU’RE REJECTING?, SHOULD I KILL YOUR SIS THEN?**

He held his head and drank again, dropping the smoke on the table.

“I can’t live without her anymore I swear” he said slowly before dropping his head on the table.

He’s heavily drunk.

Two minutes later, someone walked in and smiled when she saw him in that position.

She brought out her phone and texted someone.

*I GOT HIM, WILL BRING HIM IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES*

She clicked send before pulling him up, he’s drunkenly asleep already

“No one messes with Hazel” she smirked, dragging him out.
