Into The Devil’s Heart

“Audrey?”Rex calls and reaches out to her.

Audrey blinks a couple of times still trying to get acquainted with what’s happening.

“What are you doing?” She finally finds her voice when he pulls her attempting to leave.

“Come with me,” he said and attempted to pull her again but she didn’t let him have the slightest notion that she was that naive little Audrey he used to boss around.

She jerked his hands off her so roughly that left him wondering if he had done something wrong.

Maybe she would have been happy to see her dada again after all that she’s been through but to think he was the one who intentionally put her into this hurts.

“Don’t touch me” she yells but doesn’t make it loud knowing Baston can be anywhere near.

“Common now, stop being childish and follow me” Rex reached out for her but she jerked him off again.

Audrey could feel her stomach boiling in irritation, how dare he talk as if everything is ok? He acts as though he did nothing wrong.

“Seriously? Like… Are you serious right now?” She asked, trying not to be loud.

“OK, tell me, why should I follow you? Just give me one reason I will follow you without question” She pressed on, hands crossed over her chest. She bobs her head, demanding an answer.

“Pain in the ass” Rex murmurs under his breath in irritation. He so much wishes to squeeze her but he can’t.

He forces a concerned face, “You want to know why I am here?” He asked and she nodded.

“To get you, I am here to take you away” he breathed out the words the so much emotion.

Audrey blinks countless times, still trying to process things. There is no way he can be serious, right?

She let out a chuckle, “Sorry, you can’t lie to me again, not this time” She turned to leave but was stopped by a hand on her wrist.

“Do you think I am faking it right now? I mean, you know just how much I love you” Rex said.

Audrey scoffs inwardly, “Love my foot” she grinds on her teeth.

“Do you even know what love is? No, you don’t and you stand before me claiming to love me… Fuck your love, I don’t need it” she was very angry.

“I know I did wrong, please come with me and I promise to explain everything” He begs.

“No!” Audrey shakes her head in denial, “You not only hurt me but you killed the love I had for you… You know I’d do just anything for you yet you choose to sell me off like a dog to those traffickers… Is that how a father shows his love to his daughter? You know nothing about love, absolutely nothing ” she breathes out heavily and facepalms herself.

“I’d always thought I had a father to protect me, but I lied… I was badly stabbed by the one person I love… And now you stand to tell me you love me? To hell with your love and never you come an inch close to me, or else I will personally offer Don Cannon anything to have you slaughtered like a fowl” She turns and leaves.

Rex stood still for a while, he didn’t feel guilty, not even an inch. But his face was enough to convince everyone he was hurt.

“I might not be the best father in the past, I regret it and I am ready to be it now… I know you so much wish to run away from him, and I need you back. ” He stands before her, blocking her path, “Give me the chance please, let me be more than just a protector to you, let me rekindle that bond we shared.” He begs.

Audrey didn’t want to give in but the look on his face and the sincerity in his eyes made her give in. Her eyes were teary, but she didn’t let them drop.

“tell me this is not another plot of yours? ” She begs, with pleading eyes.

“I promise, it’s not” He assures.

Audrey glances back and forth to see if Baston or his men are anywhere closer.

“let’s get going now, ” she grabs him by the arm and starts pulling him along.

“Are you ok? ” Rex asked even though he knew she was escaping.

“you don’t expect to carry me like that for you? Cannon is no fool to let me go after spending lots of billions” she whispers.

“I’ve got a car right there, ” Rex points to the black cat standing by the roadside.

“Good, let’s go then” They both walk to the car and get inside.

A smile spreads on Audrey’s lips as she glances at the supermarket, knowing it’s her last time to see Baston or Cannon.

When the supermarket was out of sight, she turned to her dad and was welcomed by a press on her face as he covered her nose with a white handkerchief.

She didn’t know what was applied to it because she suddenly felt weak and drunken unable to push him away.

Weakly, her eyes slowly closed and she was long gone consumed by darkness.

“I’m sorry baby, daddy chooses money over you” Rex whispers and pushes her back to lie on the car window.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

It felt like forever, Audrey slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to see herself in a small room that looked like… She couldn’t describe it.

She let out a faint cry at the sudden pain she felt in her head, she tried to move but was stopped by the ropes tight around her hands body, and legs.

She didn’t need anyone to tell her she had been lied to again, by her father. Her heart twisted in her chest, unable to take it.

She regrets ever believing him and decides to give him a chance. She thought he was for real, but now she knows better.

The door pushes open and Rex walks in with a wide smile on his face, “tsk, tsk tsk, what a petty” he shakes his head, mockingly.

“You!” Audrey grinds on her teeth so hard that Rex could hear the glitching sound.

“Calm down honey, be happy I got you away from his clutches,” he said with a smile.

” Why are you doing this? ” Audrey asked, she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing down her cheeks as she stared at the man before her with so much hate.

” Why am I doing this? Um! ” He puts on a thinking face, “Well, I guess you know that already”

“Well, you see Audrey, your dad is in a big mess and only you can solve it for me” He pulls a chair and sits before her.

As expected, there is nothing good she will ever be for her if not being a bide for his achievements. She couldn’t stop the tears from falling, hurt, and broken for the second time.

“I thought you wanted to fix things, why are you doing this Dad? It’s hurting, so much!” She cries.

“Ouch! Stop crying, sweetheart. Your tears are not meant to be wasted, it’s cost more than $200” He reaches out to wipe her tears but she turns her face away.

“I hate you,” she said in between her sobs, eyes full of regrets.

“But I don’t” he chuckles, ” I can’t possibly hate what gives me money, can I?” He raises a brow.

Rex was so happy, “finally, I will be so rich and I will be free to spend money as much as I want” he laughs.

“I knew you would make me rich one day, that’s why I didn’t cast you out when your mom suddenly disappeared into thin air” he caresses her face.

“And now, I will be super rich in a blink of an eye… Wonderful, absolutely wonderful” he exclaims with a smiley face.
