Bound To The Devil

– Valarie’s POV

Bored.

She was so damn bored.

Valarie stretched out on Sebastian’s obscenely large bed, scowling at the ceiling. The man was obsessive to the point of insanity. He refused to let her leave, insisted she needed to "rest", and practically caged her inside his estate like a delicate little princess.

She wasn’t delicate.

And she sure as hell wasn’t a princess.

She groaned, rolling onto her stomach, kicking her feet against the mattress like a frustrated child. She was a cop, a lawyer, a woman who had built herself from the ground up. She wasn’t made for lying around doing nothing.

And Sebastian?

The arrogant bastard had the nerve to be busy while she suffered.

She huffed and grabbed her phone, immediately calling Luca.

It rang twice before her brother picked up, his voice thick with exhaustion. “What now?”

Valarie scoffed. “Wow. Rude.”

“I’m sick, Val,” Luca whined dramatically. “I have no energy for your nonsense.”

She rolled her eyes. “Whatever. I have a crisis.”

Luca sighed. “Let me guess… Sebastian Vasillev is being a possessive psycho?”

Valarie scowled. “Yes! He won’t let me do anything! I’m dying of boredom. If I sit in this damn room for another minute, I’m going to lose my mind.”

“Then leave,” Luca deadpanned.

She growled. “I tried. The bastard blocked all my excuses.”

Luca snorted. “Of course, he did. He’s Damien just with more arrogance and sarcasm..”

Valarie sat up, smirking. “Which is why… I need your help.”

Luca groaned. “No.”

“Luca—”

“Absolutely not.”

She pouted. “Come on. You owe me.”

“For what?”

“For being an annoying little brother.”

Luca scoffed. “That’s your problem, not mine.”

“Luca.”

“No.”

She huffed. “Fine. I’ll just sit here and suffer. Slowly wasting away. Rotting.”

“Drama queen.”

“Neglecting your only sister.”

A pause. Then a heavy sigh.

“…What do you want?”

Valarie grinned.

“I need to make Sebastian Vasillev’s life a living hell.”

Luca snorted. “Easy. Annoy him.”

She blinked. “That’s it?”

“Yeah. Just piss him off constantly. Make him regret keeping you. Drive him insane.”

Valarie smirked.

“Oh, I like that. You're experienced little bro.”

Luca chuckled. “Then go forth, my evil sister. Destroy him. ”

Valarie grinned wickedly.

Sebastian Vasillev had no idea what was coming.
