Devil's vow

Warning: Violence ahead.

Present time

Russia

Flames surrounded the once presumptuous mansion. The once white Walls were reduced to crumples and frailed network of concrete was prevailing at it's place.

Numerous calls alerted Valace that all of his property, lands and luxurious resorts have been stripped of their magnificence.

Moreover his wife was missing, not that he cared about her, she could be killed for all he was concerned but being kidnapped means he had to give ransom money when his beloved money was already flowing out of his hands but he could not risk people knowing how much he despised her.

He knew the honey eyed bitch was behind it and he was going to ruin her.

Hades-the god of underworld, the vanquisher of evil, ruled over demons, the said demons were once human, just like Valace Strom- cruel and without a conscience.

Resentment and hatred were the only emotions which had their presence inside him. For him Alaina had crossed all her limits and he was going to make her life end, for once and all.

Entering inside Strom Palace he made his way straight to Sandra's chamber, not bothering to knock as now he was done pretending nice.

He threw the door open to which Alaina's mother jumped startled.

"Oh my god! Valace !You scared me.....you could have knocked" she scolded him in a light tone to which he snickered.

Making his way towards her, he gripped her hair hard,forcing her to look into his eyes.

"Valace, don't you dare forget who I am. What do you think you are doing?" she could have been afraid and whimpered but that woman had one tough skin and the same fierce attitude she gifted her daughter but the surprise of the perfect Valace treating her this way shone clearly in her eyes.

"How unfortunate it is for you Sandra, your shit husband is not here to save you, not even that wimp daughter of yours."

The way he said those disrespectful things to Maximus and Alaina made her jaw clenched. Twisting his hands and getting out of his hold. A slap echoed across the space with a red handprint of Valace's face. "Do.Not.disrespect.my family" she said gritting her teeth. The slap had made Valace realise the truth, that the woman he wanted for warming his bed was more than worth it.

His face morphed into a bone chilling sinister smirk. He had wanted Sandra always but his bastard of a brother stole her from him. He married her giving a piece of him- Alaina.

The first time he saw Alaina having the same eyes as her father, hair of her mother with the same beautifu smile, he wished to preserve the girl and treasure her always but looking at the adoration Sandra had in the eyes for Maximus made his blood boil.

The then tiny girl was not to be preserved but to be destroyed, along with her father.... then, only then he could have Sandra.

"You my darling will only belong to me" with those words he caged her arms despite of her trashing and protest, binding them.

"Leave me! MAX! MAXIMUS! " As

soon as she took name of her husband, he lost it. Smacking her harshly across her cheek which made blood drip down her lips, he grabbed her hair dragging her towards the basement despite her struggle, protests and painful whimpers.

"Maximus! Max! Please" Her voice was groged and raw from shouting but not a single tear fell down her face, she would never give the monster satisfaction of winning.

"Sandra, baby?" A sound piercing the hour of dead silence called out.

Maximus Storm was home.

"Love, where are you?" He tried to call her but the line was dead. For him it was very unusual that she ignored his phone call and she wasn't anywhere to be found.

After sometime of restless searching in every place, he sensed the deadly atmosphere- all the bodyguards were absent.

He quickly made his way to the basement, his eyes widening and hads trembling while enountering the scene in front of him. His wife was tied up against the wall, blood dripping from her scalp and face twisted in agony, she weakly called him out.

He rushed towards her, seeing her condition, his eyes moistened while his heart roared in fury, the person behind all this will suffer.

A gunshot penetrated his left ankle floowed by the right one making him fall on his knees to which his wife cried out.

"Valace ....STOP THIS! DON'T DO THIS!" Maximus could have questioned his wife accusation of his brother as a back-stabber but the anguish in her voice and her state made him whip his head towards the betrayer with bloodshot eyes.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" Maximus voice was full of turbulence, he would kill Valace first chance he gets.

"Sorry brother, but your daughter said she would kill me first....looks

like nobody is killing me but oh I

promise will kill her slowly painfully after I kill you but my poor Sandra would not be a part of this

horror...... my future queen

ore

dosen't deserves that" Maximus

growled in anger.

"A queen doesn't breaks her promise, she will kill you Valace.....and she will kill you brutally."
