Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 - 17

Heaven lay curled in her bed, still shocked and shaking from everything she had?witnessed. Her grandmother sat next to her and stroke her hair.

"Are you alright, dear?" She asked.

Heaven nodded.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Heaven shook her head. She didn't know what to say. She didn't even know why his death affected her so much. If they hadn't killed him, he would have killed them. They did the right thing and she shouldn't feel sad about it. She should be happy now that everyone was safe, including her.

As her grandmother stroke her hair, she noticed the mark on her neck. "What is this?" She asked.

Heaven hurried to sit up and covered her neck with her hair. "It's nothing." She said.

"No! Let me see." Her grandmother reached for her hair and removed it from her neck. "Oh, dear." She said looking shocked. "He bit you. Why didn't you tell me?"

Heaven looked down at her hands. "It means nothing."

"It does. That's why you are sad. He…" She stopped when she noticed the tears in Heaven's eyes. "Oh, come here. Don't cry." She said enveloped her in hug.

Heaven began to sob in her grandmother's arms. She was still confused as to why she was sad. Did the mark effect her this much?

"It will get better with time. The mark will fade away and now that he is gone it will fade away quicker." She explained, clapping her on the back gently.

How quick, because she was in pain? Was this how her grandmother felt when grandfather left her?

"I am sorry." Heaven apologized.

"For what?"

"That grandfather made you go through this." Now she hated her grandfather. How could he inflict so much pain on someone? _{freēwēbnovel.com}

"It's alright." Her grandmother smiled.

Heaven drew back and wiped her tears, before looking at her grandmother.

"How is it alright? Don't you hate him?"

"I don't blame him. That's how he is. I should have known better but now... I am just paying for my sins."

"What sins?"

Her grandmother sighed and looked down at her hands.

"You don't have to tell me." Heaven hurried to say.

"No. I think you should know everything." She began. "I was married when I met your grandfather. Yes, my husband was not the most affectionate, but still I committed a crime against him. I was unfaithful. Your grandfather knows when our hearts and souls feel empty, and that's when he comes. When you are at the lowest point of your life, he shows you the life you wished to live and the things you wished to have, and he presents them to you. He tempts you and I fell for it. I was lonely, and he made me feel loved and cherished. But meeting him was not a coincidence. Nothing is coincidence with the devil. He plans his every step, and I was part of his plan. He was looking for a powerful successor, therefore he needed to find a powerful mate. Demons don't have many females, especially powerful ones, therefore I was the perfect choice for him.?But my mother spoiled his plans when she put on a curse, and he realized that mixing demons and witches was much more complicated than he had planned. Both sides showed resistance, so he did nothing to break the curse. It served his purpose. His successor would stay protected until he grew up and learned his powers, and only then your grandfather would try to break the curse. All this time I thought he wasn't breaking the curse because he cared for me, but I was wrong."

Heaven could hear the pain of betrayal, the self-blame and the anger in her grandmother's voice.

"Anyhow. I got my punishment by not being able to be with my son. Now I want to make things right and be happy, and nothing makes me happier than to be with you. As for your grandfather, he will also pay for his sins some day."

Heaven gave her grandmother a tight hug before looking at her. "I think you should start anew. Find someone who truly cares."

Her grandmother waved her hand dismissively. "No... I am fine. Right now I am enjoying the small things in life and I am content this way."

"Very well, then. As long as you are happy." Heaven smiled, but then she remembered something.

Zamiel had told her that her grandfather would come back and lure her when she was at the lowest point of her life. Just like her grandmother explained. He was looking for a successor. Did that mean he would come back for her like Zamiel had said?

"There is more I need to tell you. I have been trying to find the right moment and I am not sure if this is it, but you need to know soon. When you dissapeared, I thought it was you grandfather who took you. Even if it wasn't him, it could have been him therefore I need to tell you now."

Heaven was suddenly worried. Why did she think her grandfather had something to do with her dissaperaring? What was it that she needed to know?

"Your grandfather will come back. For you." She said.

Oh. Zamiel was right. But how did he know?

"He wants me to lead his army." Heaven breathed.

Her grandmother nodded. "Yes. He will try to convince you or rather manipulate you."

"That won't work. I don't want to lead his corrupted army."

"Don't underestimate him. He knows what we desire and he will find your weak point and use it against you and you won't even realize. Promise me that if he comes to meet you, you will tell me." She said.

Her brave grandmother seemed truly worried, which made Heaven worry. "I will."

"Good."

Heaven dismissed the disturbing thought. She had other things to think of now.

"Grandma, can you take me to Zarin? I need to see if he is alright."
