Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 - 32

Zarin stood in front of the eerie old house where he believed the ancient demon stayed. This ancient being needed to stay away from Heaven. He was dangerous, and he was using and confusing her.

Since he came into her life, she had changed and it wasn't a change he liked. She had always wanted to be free. He couldn't understand why she suddenly wanted to become a ruler. Zarin didn't want that lifestyle for her. He wanted her to be happy and be free from royal duties and obligations.

But Heaven was heading the opposite direction, and it caused her to be busy most of the time. She was working so hard for something that wouldn't benefit her, something that would bound her to a lot of responsibilities.

It also made her also more distant, and she stayed angry with him longer. It felt like she couldn't understand him anymore.

Zarin remembered when they were younger, when she would always come to him first, confide in him and ask for his advice. Their friendship was always a priority to her, and she would do anything to uphold it. Even if it meant that she apologized first every time they fought.

Now it felt like their friendship wasn't important anymore. It felt like he didn't matter to her, that he had no place or role in her life anymore. He wanted his friend back. He knew she was still there, but this demon was confusing her.

Zarin teleported himself into the old house. It was dark inside, but he could still see. He tried to listen to any sound, but he could hear nothing. Still his hands rested on his daggers, which he had dipped in poison. There was no other way he could defeat an ancient demon.

Suddenly he sensed something behind him. Drawing his daggers, he turned around fast. A few feet away stood the ancient demon. His silver eyes were gleaming in the dark.

He did not look like the last time he saw him. This time he looked dead. He was all bones and his skin was ashy. If it wasn't for the power that emanated from him, Zarin would have thought he would faint anytime soon.

But the ancient demons stood steadily. His mare presence was threatening, but Zarin tried to not be intimidated.

"What are you doing here?" Asked the demon, his voice vibrating?in the empty hall.

"I came to tell you to stay away from Heaven."

"Or what?" He asked, taking a few steps forward. Zarin tightened his grip on his daggers. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

"Her family and I won't tolerate you hurting her."

"If you came all the way here with nothing but small threats, you embarrass yourself." The demon scoffed.

"What do you want from her?" Zarin asked, ignoring his remark.

"What to you want? What are your intentions for coming here?"

Zarin became annoyed. "I came here to protect my friend."

"As a true protector you should put your pride aside." The demon said.

Zarin paused. what did he mean??How was he being prideful?

"More than protecting your friend, you came here to prove something."

"I came here to prove that I can do anything for her. Even risk my life."

The demon shook his head. "How romantic. Proving to be her protector at the expense of her safety."

The demon's words?felt like a slap in the face. Zarin didn't think he was putting Heaven's safety at risk. He was going to protect her. He could not just sit by and do nothing.

"I won't let you by a finger on her."

Now the demon's lips curved into a smile. "Don't worry. I won't be using my fingers. Only my teeth."

Fury made the blood in Zarin's veins boil. He could not control the urge to to fight him despite knowing the danger. Only a stab and the poison would do the rest, he thought.
