Devil's vow novel Chapter 22

Tartarus sub-headquarters

Russia

Julian Romanov's pov

All the sinners and lawbreakers were under one roof, the people for whom the quintessence of water was thicker than the crimson blood flowing were enjoying the feast.

Clarion of red liquor flowing from the fountain set in the middle of the golden ballroom provided a peace which was uncertain.

I made my way towards the person for whom I had organised this soirée.

"Ajax Waylon, I am glad you graced us with your presence" the heir smirked as those words were uttered, his eyes held darkness in them, the one I saw years ago in his mother.

His mother was one beautiful woman, brave, kind, intelligent, she was my precious girl -the perfect one to give birth to this Brazilian beast. Years, it had been years since I saw her last and I could help but feel guilty of my crimes. She was my sister and I couldn't help her much at the time when she needed me the most but I was ready to make up for it.

"I am elated too Uncle Julian" I saw as a dark shadow covering my nephew's face as he took in her people surrounding us.

"Who is this young lady Ajax, if you don't mind me asking?"

"No one whom you should be concerned of." he stonly replied while the girl clutched his arm softly. A sting of hurt passed through me, he despised me and it was crystal clear.

"Alaina Storm, pleasure meeting you Sir" her melodic voice introduced herself and  I saw a flare of pride burning in those green irises- a princess for sure.

"Hello my dear-"

But as I recognised who she really was my fist clenched with unfanthomable anger, she was the girl, she was that girl.

"Ajax how dare you" I roared while gritting my teeth keeping my voice low enough for him to hear.

"It wasn't her fault, touch her hair even and I will bury you alive, Uncle or not" Ajax's voice has got dangerously low at the end.

"Meet me in the office after the party" I commanded him.

" I will meet you in your office right now" he took her hand and led her upstairs and I can't help but be surprised when my soilders parted for him like he was their king.
