Devil's vow

Chapter 2: The beginning

Waylon Palace

Brazil

The silver dagger glinted in pure rays of the omnipotent sun. The Mafia don of five nations glided his

finger across the tip of the bayonet thirsty for blood.

His turquoise green eyes were closed behind the silk blindfold, smoldering fire, hidden from the light of

the world who considered him cold as frosty winters of tundra not knowing his heart was burning with

revenge since years.

His golden skin set ablaze the arena when he flexed his arms, muscles contracting as he threw the

weapon ferociously.

No one dared to move, not even the guards stationed right next to the target, if he wanted someone to

die....they will be dead, there was no point in defying him because the master of the steel blade never

missed an aim.

" We have got the lead Sire." The man same as his age delivering exigent information maintained his

distance.

"We found his weakness."

Yes the world was not fair, everyone had their weaknesses and strengths and if not carefully preserved

the hungry wolves would take advantage of those.

The Mafia chuckled in dry humor, providing his undisputed attention to Target, hitting blades on it one

by one.

The predator here was already keeping a track on his prey.....a golden one and it was hard to lose trail.

He only wished he didn't had to resort to such ways, destroying his enemy was one thing but dragging

his family in mud and destroying them wasn't his style.

But sooner or later things have to change because his enemy too had not spared his family so it was

just returning the favour.

" Você ouviu isso .... a melodia da vingança é tão doce."

(Do you hear that....melody of vengeance is so sweet.)

He whispered before removing the blindfold, for the world to enthral, to see the fury, the calm hurricane

trapped in his turquoise irises - Ajax Waylon.

He was the master of this game.....always was ,lurking in the shadows leaving suspicious paths just to

remind the amateurs who were they contending with.

It was a game till he made his mind to step in the cold battle taking place between Mafia dynasties...not

it was a full blown war.

"Prepare the jet,we are leaving for Russia" was his last command.

Because Russia was where the wolf had hidden his secret treasure, his niece Alaina Strom whom he

loved much more than anyone in the entire would and Ajax couldn't wait to seek vengeance.

..............................

Russia

Kenvin Lev was many things but a man of character he wasn't. His love confession to the Storm

Princess a few days ago had became a source of gossips and hushed whispers.

Not only he was incapable and undeserving of her but numerous times tried to drag her down only to

be dragged himself.

But with the looks of it he was going to create a bigger news, making out with another girl in the club in

the presence of eyes which held respect for the Storm princess.

It showed his nochalant behavior that in his eyes Alaina was nothing but someone disposable but also

created an upsurge conspiring with Alaina's own cousin, Cally.

With peach rogue skin and dark forest eyes Calliope was truly a beauty, but a black poisonous heart

filled with deceit and lies what what she held inside her body.

Whatever was Alaina's should have belonged to her, it was her since birth but then suddenly the

wicked seductress came and upsurged the whole would for herself.

Cally hated Alaina with guts and couldn't wait for her to fall down from her grace.

And the thought that the Storm Princess won't be aware of the whole fiasco was absurd. Brown honey

waves fell oh her face, thick locks naturally blessed her heart shaped face glimmering as golden liquid

in light. Red pouty lips curved down slightly in distaste.

Alaina instead watched them with brown, ice cold eyes from the balcony, a sigh escaping her

mouth.....truly shameless. A raise of her hand made the party music die down.

The silence attracted the attention of the couple and as soon as Kevin's eyes fell on her, he smirked.

He wasn't surprised because he wanted her to see, to feel the humiliation of rejection.

"I have changed my mind Alaina, I don't find you interesting anymore. Cally though is pretty good."

"You don't mean anything to me, a person who is as vile as you doesn't deserves to touch my cousin."

Alaina had adored Cally at some point since they had basically grew up together but now it was just a

faint disapoitment.

Her eyes were murky with jealousy so as to the point she pawned her own body in hopes of bringing

Alina down.

Cally was far from naive and innocent, her brain worked absolutely fine to know what she was getting

herself into but nevertheless she proceeded.

"I hope you don't feel bad Al, Kevin and I share a bond-"

"Cally you are playing with fire and hoping to come out unscathed. The hole you are digging .....pay

heed that you don't fall in it yourself."

**************

3 days later

Cally's pov

I didn't know how I ended up here pressed against one sink of girls bathroom. The door was locked

and by the silent atmosphere I can judge that nobody was outside, after all it was lunch and all students

we in the cafeteria.

But today I had not a single ounce of strength left. Kevin that bastard slapped me hard in front of his

friends, I tasted blood in my mouth the very second.

I was a bitch to everyone but I didn't used to be like this. My grandfather dying with cancer took a toll Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

on me but was that the true reason of my bitterness.....i didn't know.

Somebody's tears never made me happy earlier. I was not a sadist but as time passed I felt that if I am

crying why others should be happy. I was wrong but it made me feel satisfied...i was becoming a toxic

person.

I heard footsteps approaching. Which made me realize while all this emotional shit I was bawling my

eyes out, I muffled my cries and waited for the person to go. The footsteps halted in front .

"Cally come out"

"Don't make me repeat myself Cally, come out tell me what happened, I will take care of the rest."

Alaina called out to me.

We had differences created by me but she always fulfilled her duty of a family. As soon as I opened the

stall saw in those eyes -fury, pain, sympathy was all there. She was there, her stature rigid and eyes

raged

" Did he hit you?"

"Yes! He did and you might be the happiest person to know that. Are you satisfied now?"I spat out

venomously.

"No not now, but I will be satisfied soon. I told you before stay away from the likes of such creature."

with that she held my arm firmly and took me out of the washroom practically just out of the door and a

roughly beaten person was thrown towards my feet .

"BEG! "I flinched with her tone.

Whole school was watching the scene unfold but none could interfere, the question was did they

wanted to?

People were frozen in hallways, some were simply watching while other were terrified to the core. No

one had seen Alaina so angry before.

"I am sorry." He spat acidly.

"What's with the attitude pretty boy, haven't I taught you enough? "she replied calmly. Why was she

doing it? She was my family but I stopped being myself for the past years.

But then why she forgave me for every poisonous words I spoke to her? Not only that ,the countless

insults.

"I apologise Cally,please forgive me."

And I realized what it was even if I hated my cousin it was a family matter, to bring it out in open was

not only an insult to our family but also a huge blow to the empire connections.

Maybe I have been foolish to act but she wasn't, she protected me and established that even though

we were fighting none was to take advantage of us.

"He is polluting the air, take him away." Alaina waved her hands and the guards took away the

screaming Kevin far.

The students scattered in fear not dating to talk in hushed whispers anymore.

"A heart can only take this much betrayal Calliope." She left without a single look.

The doors of the cafeteria opened, the queen was livid . It wasn't a secret that she was fierce when her

family got involved.The storm was raging, Alaina Reece Storm the one and only princess of the largest

and one of the most influential business world Storm empires in Russia was livid.

"Silence "a voice boomed throughout the cafeteria. She was followed by two of her guards.

"Bring Kevin here" Her tone was a melody despite the harshness with which the words were spoken - a

warrior song .

"Alan ,Joseph set the stage after all it's going to be the best entertainment we have till this time of the

year "the melodic voice had gotten steely towards the end.

A boy was thrown harshly on the floor, his clothes ragged like he had been dragged all the way till here

.

"The show begins, Enjoy!" her tone was mocking and a dark warning clear.

And the next moment Kevin was dragged despite his pleas and desperate cries, bound to a pole .

Snakes were left on his body and his cries grew louder.

"PLEASE !WH-HAT HAVE I DONE? "

"Did you hit her?"she asked calmly. The hall grew silent ,nobody dared to move an inch. Only slithering

and hissing of snakes could be heard, the boy who was frantically crying till now seemed to freeze in

his spot.

"I-I , wh- no no. She is lying ,she betrayed you ,she is a lying bitch" FIRST mistake.

"She was ready to sleep with me, that slut is lying". SECOND

Gasps could be heard throughout the room ,not only the boy was stupid but he must be insane to call

her sister a slut.

"Release black widows on him, and do not open his restraints until he learns the lesson, make sure he

begs on his knees .
