Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 896

The devil's grip tightened around him...

In that moment of being torn apart, he suddenly found himself engulfed in darkness, his body plummeting rapidly.

Below him was a bottomless abyss, a veritable inferno of the mortal realm!

At the bottom of the abyss, it seemed as though countless demons were fixating their gaze on him, their red eyes gleaming, their sinister laughter echoing as they brandished their claws in welcome, as if to say:

Welcome to hell, my friend!

At that moment, he was overwhelmed with sorrow and fear, yet he still struggled, resisted, fought back with all his might!

Because Elizabeth had once told him:

"In this life, no matter how you live, it's all the same life. A life under the sun is a life, and a life in the gutter is a life too. But if you want to live freely and comfortably, you must not be a villain. You have to be good.

Only good people can live with their hearts at ease and be truly free.

Villains live with constant fear, burdened for a lifetime, leading a life full of exhaustion. So, for your own happiness, don't choose to be a villain!"

So, he didn't want to be a demon; he wanted to be a good, upright person!

He wanted to cry out for help, but no sound would escape his lips.

In his heart, he called out over and over again to those he cared about, longing for salvation.

He called out to his mother, his father, his brother and sister, he called out to Elizabeth!

But the result of his calls was:

He saw his mother being tortured to death by Gideon, and his father died with a heart full of resentment.

He witnessed the tragic deaths of his two brothers and sister, their eyes wide open in death.

He saw Elizabeth, arm in arm with Kendrick, appearing before him, telling him that Kendrick was a good man...

His parents and siblings were gone, unable to save him anymore.

Elizabeth had also fallen for the demon and could no longer save him.

He was utterly defeated...

There's no greater sorrow than a dead heart; he stopped resisting, stopped struggling.

He closed his eyes, letting himself fall into the abyss, into the 'embrace' of the demons.
