Chapter 3

The next morning Anastasia was woken up by the smell of bread cakes. A demon servant had placed them right beside her bed along with a glass of water. How did they know she liked bread cakes? Bread cakes reminded her of Scarlett, it's not been three days and nearly everything is reminded of her.

Anastasia didn't bother brushing her teeth and swallowed the water first. When she took a bite of the bread cakes, she noticed how different the bread cakes were. Scarlett's bread cakes tasted like she had dedicated her soul to it, while this tasted boring. She begrudgingly ate it, not wanting to waste it since she's hungry.

Finishing her breakfast, she did her morning routine (along with singing badly in the shower. Satan called it 'broken my ear'.) and wore a normal shirt with cigarette pants. She plugged in her phone to charge by the bed stand.

The last time she used it, probably seven and a half months ago. Wow, that long? She examined it; the screen had a few cracks, but it worked perfectly. If a bullet goes through it, it'll work as if nothing happened to it.

Anastasia flopped on the bed, waiting for her phone to get enough battery to roll over to the other side of the bed. A demon knocked on the door and announced. "His highness requests your presence in his office, ma'am."

"K bruh."

---------------------

Anastasia clapped her hands. "So where were we yesterday?" Both of them forget where they were in the conversation. After a few minutes of recalling, Satan spoke up. "We were in the uh… asshole's family trying to get revenge on your friend?"

Anastasia snapped her fingers in acknowledgment. "Yup! That's where we left off! Thinking about it, I don't think it's possible. Unless the family sent a spy to follow them. But I had killed the assholes, so the family would target me."

Satan shook his head in disagreement. "But then, even a family of an official or socialite can't even breathe in your direction without your parents' permission. So naturally, they'll try to corner someone close to you who's weaker. Margret was close to you but is also strong and scary as heaven. So they have no chance to corner her." He shivered at the thought of Margret. Man, he found her creepy.

Anastasia had a resting bitch face and had an aura that scared people away. Get through that, and you'll find millions of layers of betrayal, loneliness, depression, hate, sorrow, mourning, gloominess, and love-starvation. Get through that too, and you'll find her as an actual genuine, nice, lovable person.

But Margret was the exact opposite. She was all flowers, sunshine, rainbows, and ice cream on the outside. But her inner persona was the outer persona of Anastasia. It scared him.

Anastasia grinned and shivered at the same time. "Ya, she sometimes scares me too, bruh." they nodded at each other. Satan sat cross-legged. "So naturally, since Margaret's scary as heaven. They'll try to target someone weaker."

Anastasia widened her eyes, coming up with another idea. "And then comes Scarlett! She's mortal, and most of the immortals are assholes that only care for themselves and use others for their own benefit."

Satan gasped. "First, they kidnap Kelvis since he doesn't know he's fae, then they hire a witch and wipe out Kelvis' memories! They bribe her with more money to put a controlling spell on him and they'll be the ones controlling him instead of her!"

"There's also another possibility that a rogue witch had put the spells for fun and done this?" Satan frowned. "That can't happen easily unless Kelvis had somehow found a portal to the immortal realm!" Both of them gasped. "So there are like 3 possibilities of why Kelvis was being controlled!"

Satan scrunched his face in confusion. "Three possibilities?" Anastasia tsked and took a paper. She wrote down the possibilities. Satan peeked into the paper and read the contents.

1. Because of family

2. Found the portal to the immortal realm by accident and a rogue witch thought that it'll be good to play with him.

3. A rogue or exiled witch in the mortal realm.

Satan gasped in wonder. "There can be a rogue or exiled witch in the mortal world?!" Anastasia wanted to slap him. "I found two witches in the mortal world."

"Who?"

"My stepmother and the crazy old bat." Satan teasingly smiled at her and asked. "Did you kiss the old bat though?" Anastasia cringed. "Eww, no. Who'll kiss an old lady?" Satan was going to tease her more, but he stopped when she gave him creepy smile and murderous eyes. "Wanna go on then?" Satan shook his head. "Good, then."

-----------------------

After Anastasia and her best friend finished their discussion. They concluded they'll have a demon to be close to Scarlett while they send information on any suspicious activity around her and her wellbeing. It may stalker-ish, but they'd rather keep her safe than be sorry later.

Anastasia was scrolling through her phone reading fluff-filled fanfics. She caught a rather good habit from Scarlett which was reading fanfics. She was in love with two fictional female characters who were boss ladies. She squealed in bed when her OTP at last held hands. The fanfic she was reading was 200K+ words slow-burn and took ten chapters for her OTP to meet at last.

She kinda guessed the meaning of OTP. You are in love with two characters. You want to be married to them but you'd rather want them to be married to each other.

"It's Brittany, bitch!" Anastasia threw her phone in the voice's direction in panic. The phone hit Margret right in the face who was standing at the edge of the bed. "Oww." She rubbed her forehead. Anastasia blankly stared at her friend and deadpanned. "Oh. it's you." She picked up her phone and kept reading.

Magret fake sniffed. "You don't care about me now?" Anastasia rolled her eyes. "Yes, I don't." Margret huffed in anger and snatched Anastasia's phone from her hands. Anastasia was taken aback and tried to get her phone back from Margret. She did something stupid. She threw Anastasia's phone at the door.

"..." it surprised both of them. They never expected this to happen. Anastasia not being able to get back her phone and Margret throwing someone's phone at the door.

After a few minutes of silence, Anastasia coughed. "You know even if you shoot a bullet through it, that thing will still work?"

"Yes, I know." Magret pressed Anastasia's shoulder downwards and both of them sat at the edge of the bed.

"So go on."

"Eh?" Margret gritted her teeth at Anastasia's answer and sighed. "What did you do in the torture chamber?" Anastasia nodded in understanding and described all the details from scratch. Margret made fun of Kelvis' full name in the middle. Anastasia even added what Satan had found about Kelvis.

Margret gasped and attentively kept on listening to what Satan and her best friend had discussed before. When she was done, Margret asked. "So what are you going to do now?"

Anastasia shrugged. "I don't know. I thought of sending one of the demon guards to be close to her and send information if something suspicious happens around her."

Margret bit her tongue. "That seems stalker-ish."

"I know. But we'd rather keep her safe than be sorry later." Margret slapped her hands against her thighs and stood up. "Okay then. I'll be going now. My boyfriend right now must be crying."

"Eh?"

"We were playing hide and seek before. I was the one to be hiding, he was it. So I made a portal to hide since there are no good hiding spots." Margret made a portal and left without waiting for Anastasia's answer.

Anastasia mumbled. "You both are crazy and cute."
