Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278: 155

"The devil wants you." The words kept echoing in her mind.

Irene had a hard time believing it. Lothaire had left her by choice, and she had decided not to follow him by choice. Why would he want her now? And if he did, why would he do all of this to get her? She couldn't understand.

Euphorion saw her confusion and went ahead to explain to her what he and Zamiel had found out. Irene listened, both in disbelief and fascination. It was the first time she heard this version of the story. It made sense, yet not.

So this was all to corrupt her and make her the devil's mate. Not just his mate as a demon.

All this for revenge?

"Not just for revenge. He does want you for himself as well."

She shook her head. She couldn't believe it. He let her children go through hell, all because he wanted her to himself and to have his revenge? All this was because of her? How couldn't she have figured it out? She would have ended this a long time ago.

She stood up. "I need to go back." She said.

Euphorion stood up as well. "You don't have to do anything. Your children are safe now." He told her.

"How can you be sure? Lothaire will not let this go?"

Euphorion shrugged. "He doesn't have much of a choice. He already risked a lot to get you. He can't afford to risk more."

She shook her head. "I don't know what you mean but I still need to go."

"And do what? Sacrifice yourself? Do you think you will be doing your children a favor?"

Irene halted.

"Zamiel brought you here so that his mate wouldn't have to lose her grandmother. You are the only close grandparent she has."

Oh, he really knew how to make her feel bad.

"I just want my children to be safe."

"You will keep them safe by staying here." He told her.

"What is Zamiel's plan?" She asked, wanting to know if he would truly keep her family safe.

He motioned for her to sit down again. Both of them sat down before he spoke.

"Why don't you rest and then take your time to think about everything?" Euphorion suggested. "Let me show you to your room."

Irene followed him in silence, still fascinated by her surroundings. The water kingdoms and the water demons were fascinating to everyone. Even to those who knew more about them. It wasn't strange that Irene was mesmerized and had many questions.

Euphorion took her to a quarter in the castle that he emptied just for her until she got used to being around water demons. He didn't want her to feel frightened.

He showed her around. "You are free to walk around here as you like. The place is only for you." He said.

Euphorion thought she would be relieved, but the way the corners of her mouth tilted down made her look sad. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

'I am alone again.' He heard her think as she looked around.

Euphorion was hit with realization. She must have been excited to be finally be reunited with her family, only to end up here.

"You won't be here forever. You will go back eventually." He assured her.

She gave him a faint smile.

Euphorion wondered how someone like her ended up with the devil? He had expected something else, not exactly sure what, but definitely not someone like her.
