Forced To Marry The Devil : A Crazy Love Saga

It hardly took a second for Markus to realize that a blade was placed at his back as someone had discovered him.

He stood motionless for a moment, giving the impression that he had given up.

But the next second, he flipped forcefully, holding the hand of his attacker firmly while a murderous aura emanated from his body.

He only had one thought in mind – Kill. Afterall he could not afford to let this man shout and gather all others, destroying his plan.

Just as he was about to twist that person’s hand, so that the blade would be facing him and he could stab the person right back, the man spoke in a low voice.

“True to your name – Satan.” The man said in a low voice, but his voice held no animosity instead it was amusement.

Markus was momentarily shocked to have someone recognise him so fast, but he was quick to recover. Hence just as he had originally planned, he twisted the man’s arm, turning the blade towards him ready to stab him right in the eye.

“If you keep standing here, you will be caught soon. We should move to a place I know.” Tha man said calmly in a low voice, as if no blade was being pointed in his direction, ready to kill him any moment.

“Don’t try to fool me.” Markus spat in a low voice.

“Why should I fool you? I could have directly killed you if I wanted. Even now, I have all the reasons to scream and gather all those men, but what am I doing?” The man asked, making Markus pause a second.

“Why are you doing this then?” Markus asked.

“Do you mind if I answer this after we move to some safe place? The guards will discover us here soon, and both of us will be in deep trouble.” The man asked.

But Markus kept standing there with no movement.

“Oh you can keep pointing that blade towards me. The moment you feel that I am suspicious, you can kill me. Easy?” The man said, as if his life meant nothing to him.

“Who are you?” Markus asked again.

“Let’s move somewhere safe before I answer all your questions, also we have very less time as the entire Imperial Nation has been alerted. So let’s make this quick.” The man said.

Markus was still thinking when the man grabbed his arm and silently pulled him towards one of the doors, moving with quick but light steps.

Markus silently followed the man, trusting his gut instead of brain. He knew he could be in for a major trap, but something about this man said the opposite. Thus he decided to give it a try, anyways he could kill the man any moment he wanted.

Both of them walked through the door, before climbing some stairs, taking a lot of turns in between, but Markus was sharp enough to memorise the entire path.

After almost two minutes of walking, the man stopped, letting go of Markus’s hand.

Markus turned to look that the place or more appropriately the deserted room was eerily quiet, unlike other places they came across while reaching here. All other places were completely disturbed, men running here and there, shouts coming from other directions and it was all so chaotic. But this place felt as if it hadn’t existed together with the rest of the place.

“I am the Imperial Doctor.” The person answered without even Markus asking.

Soon a knowing expression was seen on Markus’s face, while the Imperial doctor spoke once more.

“I know you must have heard about me from Diamond.” The Imperial doctor said.

“Why?” Markus said only one word, but the Imperial doctor immediately understood what he meant.

“To save you.” The Imperial doctor answered honestly.

“But why?” Markus asked again.

“Only you can save Diamond, her group, and all those poor people who are made to forcefully work here for illegal drug dealings.” The Imperial doctor said.

“Ain’t you professor’s friend?” Markus asked.

“Yes I am, but he isn’t the same person I befriended anymore.” The Imperial doctor explained, masking sadness which wasn’t missed by Markus.

And Markus didn’t ask more about their friendship or why the Imperial doctor was doing this. Afterall he had helped Kizy escape from the professor once, so he could be trusted.

“So what’s your plan?” Markus asked.

“You are here to kill grandpa, right?” The Imperial doctor asked while Markus simply nodded.

“How did you know that though?” Markus still asked his doubts.

“I had seen you that day when you came through the tunnel. Though I didn’t know that it was you. Since that day, I have been waiting for that person’s arrival, knowing full well that he intended to kill grandpa.” The Imperial doctor answered.

Markus just nodded, understanding how the Imperial doctor had found out about his plan.

“Nobody will search for you here as this place is not known by many, just the professor, grandpa, me and two more higher ups.

Look over there, if you climb down, you will directly end up in front of grandpa’s bedroom. He won’t leave his room until the Professor arrives. But it will take some time. Grandpa and professor’s wings are at a great distance, giving you an advantage.

If you climb down right now, kill all those men along with grandpa within the next five minutes, you can leave this place safely. Professor usually needs ten minutes to arrive here, but if he knows of the attack, he will be here in five minutes.

Once done, go right out of that door and take the third door then. Climb stairs, take the first left-” The Imperial doctor was still explaining when Markus cut him off.

“I know the route back here. How many men should I expect?” Markus asked before walking towards the edge, knowing he had less time.

“Twenty in the least. And thirty five at the most.” The Imperial doctor said while sitting on the ground of this empty room, waiting for Markus’s arrival back here.

Markus just nodded at him before directly jumping down, grateful for having the Imperial doctor find him.
