Into The Devil’s Heart

Time passed, but it felt like a thousand years to Audrey watching Cannon have his way with the ladies, fucking them one after the other in a row.

Thank God for mercy, it seems as though Cannon was no longer enjoying it as he pushed the lady away with so much force that left her falling to the floor.

“Leave!” He orders, the tone so firm and authoritative.

Audrey watched the ladies scramble for their things and left in the blink of an eye.

The room went dead silent, She didn’t look at him. She couldn’t bring herself to not after all that he’s done.

“I’ve tried, more than I’ve ever done yet you seem so adamant to give in” Cannon spoke out, breaking the silence.

“I should have had my way air long but it’s funny how you end up swaying my thoughts every fucking time I try to get past your innocence” He walks to the side and picks up his shirt.

“But I won’t force you, no I won’t” He turns to her with a smile.

It has always been his mission to make her fall, and he will do. Since being all hard and trying to make her want him with force is harder than he thought, then he will use her naivety, innocence, and good heart to make her crawl to him.

He walks to the bed and lets her loose, “have a nice day!” With that, he left.

Audrey didn’t cry she was happy he let her go… She was happy he didn’t want to push through with his dirty deeds. Maybe, just maybe he is feeling guilty for all that he’s done.

She pulls the red sheet on the bed and covers her body, heading to her room. Before she could reach her door, she saw Baston’s approaching figure, she increased her steps and entered her room at full speed feeling embarrassed by everything.

Of course, she knows he isn’t unaware of anything that’s going on in this world like a mansion.

Now, she has to take another bath all because of Cannon. So much as Audrey likes to look clean and good, she isn’t a lover of water and it felt like she would lose it taking a second bath.

But with no other choice, she walks to the bath. By the time she came out, it was dusk outside.

She knew better than delay, she grabbed the dress and quickly got it done with her body, combed her hair brushed her eyelashes, and, got herself a very nice heel.

She was so anxious, wanting to see Cannon again as she walked outside with a smirk of satisfaction on his face.

Her once excited and enlightened face dropped as soon as she set her eyes on the empty throne-like seat before her.

The very place Cannon always seat and stares at her with lots of lustful gazes, his gold eyes sending waves of shivers down her spine.

“Where is Master Cannon?” She asked Bertrand who served the food in the large dining with focus and absolute concentration.

“I don’t know, Ms ” Bertrand responded so politely and left without waiting for her to ask another question.

Audrey frowns, she has a lot to ask but how can she when he isn’t willing to stay and talk for a while?

With grit teeth, she walks to the table and gets her ass resting. Normal, it had always been her wish to be left alone, with no disturbance or those lustful eyes of his staring but it so happens that the reverse is true.

It’s shocking how greatly she misses him after just a few hours of being separated from him.

“It’s not like I love him anyways,” She said assuring herself everything was ok. Silently, she devoured the food on the table with half satisfaction as the frowns on her face didn’t let her enjoy.

With every bite, her mind keeps taking her back to Cannon. “What if he is with other girls? What is he’s left to please himself because she’s so boring? What if he changes and starts treating her like the real slave that she is?” She asked those questions to no one but herself, scared of being left out.

So far, her life hasn’t been the one to wish for death and she is grateful for Cannon but the one thing she is not capable of giving is what he is demanding.

How does he want her to want him yet, he keeps scaring her every single time? How does she love him when her mind and heart always screaming in alert of his presence notifying her to run away?

How can she ignore and love someone as deadly as him, it’s not like she loves herself either so loving him will be hard.

With the countless thoughts, Audrey couldn’t keep up eating. She drops her spoon down and walks away.

She feels like crying, not because she can’t give him what he wants but because of how unfair life is to her. Always giving her more than she asked for in a reverse way.

She saw Baston in the far right corner of the house, it looked like she was talking with someone.

Her pace increases as she finds herself heading to him, deep down she believes Cannon is there. Apart from the girls and Bertrand, Cannon and Baston are the only two should he know if in the mansion and the possibility of them being together is very high.

“My Lord!!” She breathes out with hastened steps, determined to see the other person in the dark knowing it was Cannon but to her dismay before she could reach the area the man in the dark was long gone.

Baston didn’t turn to her, he stayed quietly with hands buried in his trouser staring at nothing but darkness.

“What do you want?” He breaks the silence but still doesn’t turn.

“Can… My Lord? thought he was with you a moment ago” she breathes out still looking around, trying to see through the thick darkness.

“Go inside, he’s not here” Baston’s voice was slightly heavy as compared to his usual tone.

“No, you won’t tell me what to do… I want to see him!” Audrey persists. She doesn’t know why she felt angry at him trying to other her around, she is no slave of his except Cannon and only He is allowed to boss her to a certain extent.

But to think that Baston just tried to be somehow aching. What’s there to stress about? Why is she even there asking over someone who might be somewhere enjoying himself?

Baston stares at her for a long time, he could easily make her leave. It’s nothing big for him but he didn’t, not when he knows exactly what to do with a bunny that always claims to be almighty main while she is nothing but prey for all predators.

But too bad, she isn’t his to devour. “He’s not here, he’s gone somewhere, very far away from her” he breathes out.

Audrey frowns, “B-but he didn’t tell me, I mean, he should have made mention of it when we were together… I mean” she stutters in disbelief.

“There is no way he will just live like that, at least I deserve to know” She mutters under her breath.

Baston tilts his head to the side with a mockery smile on his lips, “And who are you that the boss needs to inform when leaving? Have you forgotten who you are? A slave and nothing more” he mocks.

Tears welled up in Audrey’s eyes, so much as it hurt, she knew he was telling the truth. How is she supposed to cope every time he makes a mockery of her?

Their gaze lingers on each other for a long time, silently slaughtering themselves.

After a long time, Audrey turns and leaves. It’s not like she can do anything or say otherwise.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
