Devil's Snare by Sruthionyx (e novels to read online TXT) 📖

Alzea woke up feeling beaten and tired. She got excited thinking of meeting the little kid. She enjoyed her job a lot, the kid reminded her of her little brother when he was young. She would spill lots and lots of kisses on the kid’s cheek as soon as she sees him, and the kid felt the same way about Alzea. He would throw tantrums on the days he did not get to see her to a point that the parents had to video call her just to calm the kid down.

She would always pray to God to keep him safe whenever she got a chance, he was too pure and innocent for this world.

Looking at Alzea her roommate asked, “Wassup with you girl? You look like a Monalisa at the Louvre but with eyebags and a wineglass in her hands”.

Alzea did not respond, she just chuckled. “I am glad you are finding happiness in my unkempt appearance”.

“Girl! You need to look for another job, that job is tiring you”. Said her roommate handling Alzi a cup of coffee.

“Shush!! The kid an angel”, said Alzea.

“Yep!! so was Lucifer, your point?”, said her roommate sipping her coffee.

Alzea glared at her roommate, “Nah!! I like this job; besides, I feel bad for the kid, and I love him”. She knows how much childhood incidents affect adult life.

She continued, “the mum loves him, at least I think she does; but she is not around much. They leave in the morning and come back at night. I guess the dad works for some billionaire or someone and is always mostly out of town, I have only seen the dad once”. Said Alzea sipping her coffee.

“Girl!! I don’t know how you do it, you think that the world is a beautiful place, and nothing bad can ever happen, but I can tell you it is not. I will tell you one thing, your compassion is your gift, and don’t let anyone take it away from you. If I were babysitting that demon, I would’ve called a priest to perform an exorcism”.

Alzea spat her coffee laughing hard “Now that’s some vampire diaries level nonsense”. “Your compassion is your gift Elena, carry it with you”, Alzea said sarcastically, she continued before she was interrupted, “Girl!! I am 25 without a real job, I am dead inside. I patch it up with coffee and some dead dark humor. I might need a serial killer or a mafia don to kidnap me to get my life more exciting”.

“Be careful what you wish for girl, you might get it”, said her roommate smacking her on her hand. Alzea let out an “OW”.

 “Shore….!! A mafia man is going to pick me up from all of NYC and take me to his den to marry me. I am delusional babe, not that delusional”, said Alzea throwing on her pants to go out with her roommate. They were organizing a charity event with some live music and some dance to help raise money for autistic kids. 

Meanwhile at Cavallo Household:

At 9 am, someone was knocking on Rafael’s door, he got up feeling irritated and walked over in his sweatpants to open the door. He opened the door seeing a maid standing in front of him. “What is it?’, he asked annoyed and irritated, the main was awestruck seeing the god in front of her. His mouth-watering 8 pack was on display, his hair was disheveled, and his voice was groggy and gruffly, his muscular biceps holding the doorknob In one word he looked beyond sexy and delectable.

Rafael was aware of the maid’s gaze, “what are you looking at? Why the hell was knocking on my door?”, the maid shuddered at his tone. “Ma… Master Victor asked you to come down”, told the maid and ran from the man.

Rafael walked into his bathroom and took a shower thinking about the brown-eyed girl he saw yesterday, but he decided to shelve that thought for now and get on with his day.

He walked to the dining table, taking a piece of toast in his hand, “What is it Vic? What was so urgent that you had to call me at 9 am”.

“Geller is missing”, said, Victor, biting on a piece of toast.

“What? how?” asked Rafael shocked.

Geller is one of his trusted assistants, he has been working with the family since he was 21, the man is very loyal, but due to circumstances or for some other reasons, he chose to betray the brothers and paid the price with his life which the brothers aren’t aware of.

“I have no idea, we need to find out”, Victor said biting on another piece of toast, saying this Vic got up to get ready for the office.

Both brothers concentrate on work. Adrian, the man whom they killed yesterday, and now Geller. Someone is messing with them thought Rafael. He was in deep thought when Victor walked in and mentioned, “We are missing documents on the Russian gun shipment auction we were supposed to hold this week”.

“What? Damn it bro how?”. Rafael and Victor were sure someone is doing this; and it doesn’t take intellect to figure out who that is, “Geller, that bastard betrayed us” said Victor hurling the paperweight onto Rafa’s table. The table shattered at the impact. “TF bro, what the hell, stop throwing things around, we will find him and when we do find it, we will feast on his blood”.

When Victor was about to respond, his phone rang, and he immediately knew who it was “TF do you want Marcel?” Asked Victor seething.

“I just wanted to let you know that I pleased the Russians” chided Marcel happily.
