The Devils Sole Possession

"What?" Eve's eyes widened

   "You have an option, it's either I own your life or you loose it" he said with his head slightly tilted to the right, the faint glow of light was casted upon his devilishly handsome face

*Days Earlier... *

   In a dimly lit room, a man was on his knees, his body trembling uncontrollably, beads of sweat trailed down his face, his hands was clasped together as he stared at the devil who was seated calmly on his chair, his body hidden from the light but his aura was strong and powerful

   "B.. boss please" he pleaded

   "Shut the f*ck up!" A huge guard beside him spat angrily

The devil stood up and walked to the man who was still on his knees, he bent slightly and raised the man's chin

   "Why?" He asked

   "I'm sorry boss, it was the handwork of the devil" the man cried

   "The devil has nothing to do with this" he stood erect and placed a gun on the man's temple

   "B.. boss don't kill..." He couldn't complete his sentence as the devil pulled the trigger, blood splashed around staining his shiny black shoes

   "Prick!" He cussed and a guard knelt with a tissue, he started cleaning the shoes hastily.

   ★ LUXURY BAR... ★

   "Goodnight Miss Lexa, goodnight Mr Robert" Eva waved and the two waved back

She walked outside the bar and stopped a taxi, she was changed into her regular clothes already. Instead of heading home, she left for the hospital

Getting down and paying the taxi driver, Eva walked into the hospital and straight to her aunt's ward

   "Aunt" Eva called, a woman who looked her late fifties tore her gaze from the window to her niece

   "Eva" she smiled widely, her lips were pale but it didn't affect her beauty. "Have you seen the doctor? he said he must talk to you before you leave today"

   "Sure, I will" Eva sat beside her aunt Millie, the woman who has been a mother figure to her since she lost her parents at a very tender age

  "Have you eaten?" Millie asked and Eva chuckled

   It's funny how her aunt Millie still looks out for her even in her current state

   "Off-course, you have right?"

   "Mmm" Millie nodded and laid on the bed

Eva stood up and pulled the duvet higher over her aunt's body

   "I'll be back soon"

   "You're going to see the doctor?" Millie asked

   "Yeah" Eva nodded and gave her aunt a light peck on the cheeks before leaving the ward.

She knocked on the door and walked in after receiving the permission to come in

   "Good evening doctor" Eva greeted, she hid her trembling fingers under the table while trying to keep a straight face

   "She has to undergo a surgery urgently" the doctor started

   "Then what's stopping it?" Eva leaned closer, her voice breaking at the end

   "The money"

   "But doc, can't she get the surgery and then you receive the money after, I promise...."

   "I can't Miss Lane, I can only help if you're able to bring at least half of the money"

   "Four million? Where do you expect me to .." Eva sighed out and stood up

   "We don't have much time, this week is probably the only safe week we have, once it's late there's nothing we'll be able do".

Eva pursed her lips as she paced around the lobby, the doctor's words ringing nonstop in her ears. She was biting her nails endlessly, an old habit of hers.

Where was she supposed to get that much amount of money from within the week? She doesn't even have more than quarter of the money in her savings

Eva stopped walking and brought out her phone, she dialed the number she never thought she would call ever again in her life

"This is ridiculous" She muttered staring at the screen, she was unable to tap on the call icon

"Well..." She heaved out and tapped on it, it rang for some seconds and Eva's finger went into her mouth as she stared anxiously. The call was answered and Eva immediately placed the phone on her ears
