THE MAN CALLED DEVIL

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

UNKNOWN POV

It's been a week since my plan to kill that son of a b***h failed and it's all because I had to come up with a childish way of carrying it out.

Although the plan seemed perfect, I don't know how he was able to sense the danger around the place. He didn't even spare a single soul not to talk of the guy who was implanted to get us information from the inside.

I must say, he has become a lot stronger and smarter in the last few years. I shouldn't have given him lot of space to mourn over his crazy b***h's death.

It was even a good thing she had to go because having her around sabotaged my plans and success.

Since, I've been going easy on him. This time around I'll buckle up and make sure I destroy him for good and finally fulfill my real purpose.

I'll see to it that he's totally destroyed once and for all and my legacy will be on for as long as eternity.

"Master, the men have captured the guy who stole from the safe." Joe announced, which brought a devilish smile on my lips.

"I'll have so much fun today. Where is he?"

"He's outside being tied to the gates."

"Don't be too cruel. Take him to the warehouse. I'll join you guys shortly."

"Right away, master." He bowed and left while I burst out in laughter.

Every man who works under me knows the implications of stealing from me even the tiniest of all which is lying to me. I don't spare a single person, be it young or adult. I deal with them in such a way, they won't even have the hands to steal again.

Truely, today is a great day. I'll try something different so that history will always remember me for it.

I walked inside the warehouse and found five of my men surrounding the guy who stole from along with Joe.

"Tie him to the chair." I ordered as two of my men grabbed him and tied him down.

"It's such a pity seeing you this way, Lynn. I've always liked you as one of my men but stealing from me is the least I expected."

"Please, forgive me master. I got greedy and allowed myself to be used by the devil."

"Oh, please. We all know the devil doesn't have a hand in this. It was all your doing because you got greedy and unsatisfied with everything I've done for you and your worthless family." I roared, grabbing his neck.

"Have mercy on me, master." He managed to utter while I added more pressure on his neck.

"Do you know what I can't tolerate? That's begging to be spared after committing a crime. You know what, I've a more advanced way of using you as a lesson to teach those who might want to go against me." I smiled and let go of him.

"Get me the dried chili pepper and a knife." I ordered Joe and instructed the men to untie the b***d and placed him on a table after being stripped.

After some couple of minutes, Joe came in with the knife and chilly pepper which I collected and walked over to the b***d who kept begging.

"Begging won't do you any good. I want you to scream as much as you can." I chuckled, moving the knife all over his body before dipping the tip of the knife on his flesh.

"Ahhhhh... Please, master, forgive me. I won't steal from you again."

"I like that. Don't stop screaming." I yelled and began to cut him on the skin until I was satisfied before I grabbed the chilly pepper and sprayed it all over him.

"Ooh... Ahh.... Please.... Stop..." He continued screaming with tears in his eyes.

I handed the knife and the chilly pepper to one of the men as Joe handed me a towel to wipe off the blood stain on my hand.

"Make a fire and roast him to death and don't forget to serve his meat to the prisoners. I'm sure they're going to love it." I instructed with a big grin on my face before walking out of the place with Joe trailing behind me.

SARAH'S POV

Aunt Kathy and I got back from the spa a bit late and got informed by Henry that Mr Russell and Max were already.

I don't know how to thank Mr Russell for the new appearance he has given me without knowing how much this means to me.

I looked really beautiful beyond what I have ever imagined and it's all thanks to him.

"Go, freshen up, okay? I'll ask someone to pick up the shopping bags from the car and send them to your room."

"Okay aunt but I want to go and see Max before heading to my room."

"Sure, go on." She smiled before I proceeded to Max's room.

I walked into the room and found Mr Russell sitting right next to Max who was sleeping soundly. I really wasn't expecting to see him inside the room at this time.

"Good afternoon sir." I greeted, taking my gaze to the floor.

"Are you just coming back?" He asked instead.

"Yes sir.

"I've something to discuss with you concerning the trip to Paris," He said with a long pause before he continued. "I don't want aunt to know about it and I hope you won't take it to heart. It's just as a result of business only."

"You've to act as my girlfriend once we get there and like I said, it's strictly due to business and not any other motive."

I was totally shocked to the bones When he uttered the words. I wasn't expecting something like that even though I had the feeling something like this was going to happen before. I should have seen it coming right from the beginning.

"Okay sir." I managed to answer.

"Get ready on time. We're leaving tonight."

"Okay sir. I'll take my leave." I replied and turned to leave when he stopped me and got on his feet.

"Here is your passport. You'll need it as a means of identification when we arrive in Paris." He announced, holding out an envelope to me.

"Thank you sir." I answered, taking the envelope from him.

"You can stay awhile with him before going." He added and walked out of the room.

I wish there's a way to show him how grateful I feel for going through all these troubles just for me. I've never felt this love or treatment from any of my employers before but today, Mr Russell happened to be the first person to show me such love.

I have to help him get the contract in every way I can to show him how indebted I am to him.
