《The Devil's Bride》Exhausting
Advertisement
"Am always sure with my answers!" Synn blast at the woman who immediately recoiled from his cruel voice. Never in her ten years of being in a business has she ever seen someone so domineering and rude. She looks away and scribbles down something on a piece of paper and gives it to him.
He snickers and looks down at the paper, looking down at her ghastly handwriting. "Did you ever go to school?" He questions her. She looked taken aback by the question as she shifts awkwardly on her spot.
"I did." She clears her throat and harshly collects the paper from him. "Are you in or what?"
Synn just glared at her, taking in the sight of her face and thinks in disgust. She don't know who she is talking to. He shakes his head and licks his fangs in his mouth.
"Give me some few weeks to think about i-"
"Are you crazy?!" She screamed looking down at the paper. "You need a week to think about a business deal that doesn't even need an hour to think about. You stupid?" She speaks, her British accent drooling out.
Synn looks down at the woman, anger coiling. He couldn't believe a mere woman was talking to him like this. Brutally and unmannered. He didn't like her for sure. He never did right from the start. He had begun to curse silver for introducing him to such a repugnant woman like her.
Mrs. Rose was a tattered accountant who worked in one of the most consequential banks in New York. She was a woman with conceit and envy. She was filled with too much ego which ruined her reliability with customers. Silver had introduced her to Synn to reinforce a few things. One of them was the company Synn intended to start building.
She knew well about opening up a company and he needed answers right away. Synn was super-rich. If he had wanted gold, with a snap of his fingers, he would have it. But he needed something to constitute his image on earth. He planned on staying on earth for quite an amount of time.
"I don't have your time woman!" He barks as he moves to enter the car but she stops him. "I need answers right away! I can't wait for a whole week-"
"Then don't. I don't need your fucking help with it anymore. I've got important things to do than waste my time talking to someone as ugly as you." He answered stepping right into her conversation just like she did to him.
He enters the limo that had the driver listening to the discussion the two just shared, finding it engaging.
"Stupid bitch." He curses under his breath. The engine perks up and starts to move. Synn laid untroubled, his head rested on the seat's head, his eyes closed.
Starting a business was not contrary but he needed clues and it grieved his ego to ask for help. He wanted to do everything by himself without help.

Closed eyes, his mind floats to a distinct being in person as he snaps his eyes opened.
Linda. His mind drifted to Linda.
He slowly emits, licking his bottom lips as he stared into space. His fingers were drumming on his lap tranquilly until his phone chimes. He picks out his phone from his black Jean's pocket and looks at the screen to see who called.
Silver.
"Don't make me regret answering this call," Synn told instantly as he accepts the call with a tap on the green button.
On the other line, Silver was crushing on a chocolate bar as he moves his fingertips on his jaw. "Oh, sure you won't!" He said too excited. Silver was the only person who wasn't afraid of the devil. They had been close friends for a long time. Silver was a sociable person with a spirited attitude. He joked around and was much of a foodie. Yet, he stayed psychically fit.
"Why did you call?" Synn questions running his hands on his lap, his breathing between rapid and slow. He still continued to think about Linda.
"Well, there's this movie Linda and I want to watch." Hearing her name, Synn's finger stops. "It's rated 18+" Silver smirked as he opens another wrap of chocolate bar. "What do you say?" He chuckles.
"Why the fuck do you think I care about what she watches?" He booms from the line. 18+ It was not meant for someone like Linda. Silver's plan was not precise and he did lie. Silver and Linda were not going to watch any movie. He just wanted to taunt Synn.
"Duh!" He stated like it was the most explicit thing. "She is your mate, bro." He beams.
"Fuck you!" Synn curses at his best friend making him pout. "You piece of shit."
Silver asked. "She's allowed to watch? right?"
"What is in it?" Synn's voice was low this time.
"Just some mature scene like violence and death." He delays. "And hot steamy sex." He blows up laughing visualizing Synn's face.
Synn already thwarted shouts from the other end."Don't let her watch that, you mother fucker!"
"Why? I thought you said you didn't care about what she watches. Linda is a mature-
"Wh-aht happened? I heard my name." Linda's voice was voiced from Silver's side.
Catching her voice was newfangled to Synn. He felt peculiar in such a way that he liked it. Her voice was soft. He shakes his head, running his hand through his black silk hair.
"Silver, if she sets her eyes on any fucking scene like that, then you'd be half dead.", Cold. His voice was aloof and brought a cold down silver's body as he stops eating his chocolate bar. Synn finishes off by ending the call, tucking his phone back into his pocket.
"Was that Synn?" Linda asks placing her hands on her fingers and plays with rings she had on. "Mhmm." Silver murmured.

"W-what did he say?" She was curious to know what. Since she saw Synn with Mrs. Rose, she had been feeling strange. Jealousy?
"Nothing. He's just pissed off." He looks at her. "What do you wanna watch, muffin?" Linda somewhat found it cute when he called her muffin and so bad when she dreaded to hear Synn call her that. When she had first had the thought of it, she tried to shake it away but she couldn't.
"SpongeBob?" She insinuates feverishly grabbing the remote control before Silver could. He rolls his eyes before giving in a curtly nod. Linda sat on one of the couch as she looks fully interested in what she was watching.
¶•¶
Noon soon arrived and Synn hadn't been home since. It made Linda a little conscious but she decided to mask it up by eating a whole box of brownies and stuffing her face with candies. She had never been so happy before.
He even helped her by reading a pop up book together and having a whole lot of fun in the kitchen. She knew for sure that silver was a nice person; except for when he called her a duck.
"W-where is Synn?" Silver also observed that she grew quite nervous when she talked about Synn. But he also knew she cared. It was weird acknowledging that but he knew. Through out the day, she always looked outside waiting for the arrival of Synn. He took notice of everything. The little things too.
"Probably getting wasted." Silver said teasingly throwing a hand around Linda's shoulder. "He will be back s- Oh, look at who we have here. Ta da!" Silver immediately throws Linda's gaze to Synn.
Her cheeks heated up when she saw him twirling a glass of wine in his hands. She quickly looks away trying to cover up her pink chubby cheeks. But Synn had saw.
"Where were you man?" Silver ask getting up from the couch and approaching Synn. His hair was perfectly gelled all over again.
"Getting away from you." Synn throws back at him. Linda had her back facing Synn who just watched from the corner of his eyes what she was up to. She was in her PJ and had her hair in a messy bun.
Synn mockingly question, "Someone was looking for me, huh?"
On hearing this, Linda hops up from the couch and grabs a bag of chips that laid lazily on the floor.
She was trying hard to ignore Synn's stare and comment. She didn't need him insulting her or hurting her.
She continues to watch the marathon of Spongebob as she munch on some chips, the sound of her chewing echoing in the room.
Being intelligent came with lots of advantage and one of them was guessing. Synn knew for sure that Linda was ignoring him. He observed her to find out that whenever she was angry with someone she had ignored them. So he decided. He didn't want to owe up to anyone.
He trails his fingers on his neck as he watches her. The light messy curls that fell on her face when she jumped up in excitement and the smile that was plastered on her face when she smiled. He wouldn't want to talk more of the PJ that fitted her perfectly, her body just filling the space of the fabric.
She was his.
But two could also play games. That was the rules anyways.
He stands up and walks over to her who immediately tenses up when she caught him at the corner of her eyes. He plops right next to her, his cologne filling in her nostril. It felt weird. The sensation was weird. His cologne fitted him and his personality.
She dips her hand into the bag of now finished chips and pouts. She had ate them all.
"Seems like you are done with your chips and movie. Now can I watch mine?" Silver ask while he sips on his coke. He glare at Linda who shakes her head and brings out her tongue to mock him.
"Nope! I still have one more marathon that's gonna play soon." She giggles. "Plus, I ran out of chips." She eyes silver who immediately shakes his head. "Uh uh! I'm not going to get you more chips. You've been munching on that piece of shit for an hour now. We are almost running out of em." He protested.
Linda whines as she gently curl her fingers around her baby curls that seems to always give her problem no matter how high she ties it.
"Baby curls are bad!" She sticks her tongue out as she tries to adjust it at the edge of her head.
"It fits you, duck!" Silver speaks throwing a wink at Linda.
All this while, Synn noticed something about Silver and Linda.
They had gotten close, therefore increasing thier bond. Yet, she spoke well to him and played with him and this has burned inside of him.
He was jealous. And he let it consumed him.
"Sir, Silver!" A maid comes rushing in. Her name was Florence. "Your bacon is ready." She says with a bow and a tone of respect.
"Ah. Almost forgot that. Be right back in a few minutes." He told Linda as he gets up from the couch and walks into the kitchen.
"And bring two bag of chips with you, please." Linda squealed, giggling when she heard a muffled voice.
Now it was just the two of them; being the devil and his bride.
