The Temptress: Tempting the Devil’s son

“That’s him. He killed our sons. Arrest him!” She screamed at the top of her voice. Her ear splitting voice was so high pitched that the glass cup Blake was holding shattered and cut his hands in the process.

“Blake are you okay?” His mother rushed over to him and held his bleeding finger with a panicked expression.

He pursed his lips and glared at Jessica who was equally glaring at him. Her eyes were red and so was her face. She looked like a bomb about to explode.

Her son…

Emily rose to her feet, her calm and meek eyes darkening in seething rage. She trotted over to the woman’s short form and stood just a few inches from her. They stared at each other for a few seconds and for those seconds there was but a complete silence between these two while they just murdered each other with their hateful gazes. The hatred, the rage…

If only eyes could kill…

Unexpectedly, they was an ear splitting sound at that moment. Everyone’s gaze were now focused on these two. Jessica held her face which had been slapped by Emily. Her eyes widened in horror and unbelief.

Emily had a cool personality which made it easy for the other parents to bully her. They always cursed her for being an adulterous woman and having a child out of wedlock and while they said those things, she didn’t retaliate but she just simply ignored their harsh words. They always thought she was weak, but she didn’t expect she would slap her.

“You bitch!” She gritted her teeth and attempted to reciprocate the slap but Emily held her hands mid-air and gave her yet again another resounding slap.

“You shameless woman! How dare you come into my house after what your son did to my son?!” Emily screamed and gave her slaps upon slap. Her face was now red from the heavy slaps she had received. Emily already set her fist in the air and launched her fist to her face, her fist were almost connecting with Jessica’s face but she didn’t expect to be pulled away by the other parents.

The slaps Emily delivered were too sudden, her face had already been disfigured before she could be saved. Jessica broke down into a river of tears, her red and swollen face looked so hideous. Mr. Jacob who was her husband rushed to attack Emily.

“You witch! How dare you attack my wife?” he screamed like a demented man and made to reciprocate the slaps his wife had received. His hands were however stopped, just as his hands were about to hit her face by a dangerous and cold voice that pierced through the air, silencing everyone.

“Touch my mother, you die!” He said it so calmly but those words sent a thousand shivers down his spine causing him to shake on his stand with a frightened expression. Blue eyes turned red as they stared at the man like a prey who was about to be devoured by a wild beast. The man’s hands were shaky but he garnered some courage.

He spoke in a defiant and unscrupulous tone, “Why should I listen to you? You killed my son and your crazy mother hit my wife. You cannot kill me like you killed my son. I will see to it that you spend the rest of your life in jail!” And just as he said those words, his palm connected with her face and the force of the thunderous slap, caused her head to turn sideways.

Blake’ cast a glare on Jacob, red flashes in his vision upon seeing his mother being slapped. He clapped his hands with force, trying earnestly to resist the urge to make Jacob drop dead at that moment. Seems like he’s gonna die a worse death than his son.

Emily suddenly burst into laughter, her face and eye red from the slap. Jacob became anxious upon seeing her laugh so hard, not to mention the burning gaze that wanted to burn him to ashes.

She leaned closer into his ears and whispered in a voice that only he could hear, “Congratulations Jacob, you’ve just signed your death warrant.” She straightened his suit jacket and patted his back and then beamed to him the most charming smile ever. Only the smile wasn’t charming but full of warnings. She turned around and ambled towards the couch in majestic steps, her slim and slender waist swaying seductively. She sat beside her son and crossed her legs. She winked at the man and that alone made his inside shake in fear. His whole body was in internal turmoil. Was he really gonna die? His legs grew weak, his knees carved in causing him to stagger to the ground. Just as his butt was about to hit the ground, his wife held his arm and pulled him up.

Jessica easily misunderstood her intentions and thought she was trying to seduce her husband!

“You shameless woman! How dare you try to seduce my husband in front of me?!”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Emily who had found it rather amusing, laughed so hard, so hard that she almost suffocated. She stopped laughing and tried to calm herself down before saying with a snort, “Seduce your husband? I’d rather seduce a pig than seduce your husband!”

Jessica’s face paled, her nose flared and her face became smitten with anger. She gritted her teeth and furiously pointed at Emily, “You unrepentant slut! Your son was born out of wedlock. He doesn’t even have a father…”

A loud growl rumbled in the room piercing through the dense air and that made her swallow her words. Red eyes were glaring at her form and his gaze seemed to be burning her insides.

“Watch your tongue, woman. You have no right what’s so ever to judge my mother!” He snapped, his voice strong and powerful. One that made cold sweat trickle down the skin’s of others and made them quiver at their stand with a feeling of agitation.

“Enough talking, arrest him!”

The two policemen who had been awfully quiet while they watched as the drama unfold were suddenly remembered.

One of the policemen quickly clarified, “Madam, you’re mistaken. We are not here to arrest anyone, we are only here to ask the young boy a few questions.”

Jessica’s eyes turned bloody as her eyes widened with resentment. She spoke in her usual high pitched voice, “What do you mean you are not here to arrest him? He killed our sons!”

The other parents started to grumble in displeasure.

“He killed our sons. Why won’t you arrest him?” A parent suddenly shouted, the grieve in his voice didn’t go unnoticed.

“Oh my poor son,” Another parent sobbed while her husband comforted her in his arms

“We want justice for our sons!”

“Maybe they have been bribed!”

The policemen both looked pissed off but they were quick to keep their cool. The tall and tanned policeman quickly defended, “Don’t spurt nonsense. According to our investigations, all four of your sons died of natural causes. As a matter of fact, you have no business here. Jack and Bill both died of lightning strikes from the storm, Lloyd jumped into the sea and drowned. Maybe you should ask yourselves if you were good parents. Why a twelve year old boy would commit suicide? Have you asked yourself that?!”

The aggrieved policeman pointed at Lloyd’s parents and they shrank back in guilt. The policeman continued, “Trey died of cardiac arrest. His heart suddenly stopped beating. The only person’s death who was rather suspicious is Mark’s because we found strangle marks and bruises on his neck. So will you please let us do our jobs?!”

Emily stared at her son with a bemused expression, she slowly became lost in her thoughts. All the other boys died without a single trace that could lead to him. But Mark… She felt he purposely left that clue. Like he had a plan or something. Like he wanted the police to come. What could that be? The more she thought about it, the more she developed a headache. She knew her son was smart, whatever his plan was, she was bound to find out.

The entire room fell silent that even a pin drop could be heard. The policeman strode to the couch beside Blake’s and requested, “May I seat?”

Emily nodded and said, “Sure.” The policeman sat and so did his colleague while the parents all stood. Not like she was gonna let them sit on her couch in the first place.

“I am Detective Collins and this is my colleague Detective Kai.” The tanned and tall policeman introduced.

“We would like to ask you a few questions Blake. We hope for your optimum cooperation.” Blake pursed his lips and didn’t speak. He simply nodded and remained calm. Collins toke out a pen and a small notepad.

“What is your relationship with the victim?” Collins asked, his eyes were fixed on Blake’s figure.

Blake sneered and answered with displeasure dancing in his tone,” We were classmates and enemies.” Colins jotted down something and asked yet again another question,” May I ask what prompted you and Mark to be enemies?”

“Jealously. Mark was jealous of me. I always come top of the class while he always topped second position. Mark was jealous because I was better than him. Well, I didn’t see him as a threat cause I was certain about my abilities. Not until yesterday when I was attacked by five boys who clearly lacked home training!” An aggrieved Blake said in a yell, his sharp words were directed at the parents of the boys.

The parents became filled with anger. They opened their mouths and were about to pour insults on him when Colins gave then a baleful look, one that made them cringe and close their mouths.

The man sighed and said in a calm tone, “I’m really sorry about that. Blake, where were you last night?”

Blake furrowed his eyebrows and faked a confused expression on his face, “In my room of course, sleeping. I was with my mother last night.” Collins peered into Blake’s eyes as if he was trying to read the boy’s mind. The look on his face would normally make guilty kids falter in fear but Blake remained as calm as ever.

Collins cleared his throat and said, “Blake as you know, you are one of the suspects for the murder of Mark. We would like to see the CCTV footage of last night.” Emily’s pupils shrank in fear. The footage of last night… Blake would be exposed!

Seems like Blake is about to be exposed!!! Please comment down your thoughts of this story.
