100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Sixty-Two…

~~*****~~

[ At Sparks Family Mansion… ] 

Nathan was sitting in his study room as he mulled over Jane and the King Stallion Mafia. He started gathering information about the King Stallion. He discovered that their main turf was Country R. But he didn't have enough information about the leader.

The Syphiruz didn't have any interaction with the King Stallion. They had never crossed paths yet. He wondered how powerful and influential this mob was.

"Jane wants to recall her memory in the past. It is related to King Stallion and its leader. So there is a possibility he might be the father of her child?" Nathan started to speculate. He couldn't help himself from thinking about her.

This had nothing to do with him. But he couldn't understand why he was trying to dig for information because of Jane. 

Nathan put his palm together as he continued to ponder. "Is this the reason she met Vincent? Vincent is from Country R as well as Helena. Is she trying to find a clue from them? But why them?"

Little did he know, Jane approached Vincent not because of King Stallion Mafia but because of Abigail and Monica.

Nathan was still working on his laptop when his phone vibrated and his tracking app popped up on his phone screen. He frowned when he saw Jane going somewhere.

"She's on the move. Where is she going at this hour?" Nathan mumbled as he checked the time. He contemplated for a moment before grabbing his coat and car keys. He stood up and left his study room in a hurry without even switching his laptop off.

Nathan bumped into Ethan on the stairs.

"Dad, where are you going? Dinner is ready," Ethan asked him, giving him a puzzled look.

Nathan was not able to respond right away. He planned on following Jane and he couldn't afford to let Ethan know what he was going to do.

"Something urgent happens in the office. I have to go and deal with it," Nathan lied.

"How about your dinner, Dad?"

"You can eat without me. I'll come back as soon as I finish dealing with the matter." Nathan said goodbye to his son. He simply took a peek at his phone, checking Jane's movement.

Ethan just blinked his eyes in amusement. He caught a glimpse of the tracking app. "Who is he following?" he mused to himself. After a while, Ethan heaved a deep sigh as he went to the dining area.

He sat on the table, placing his elbows on the surface as he cupped his face. The young boy looked a little bit sad. He was eating dinner alone. He missed eating with Jane and his father like one complete family.

As Ethan sulked in his seat, Butler Li approached him. He sat next to him and ruffled his hair. "Young Master, why are you sad?" 

Ethan looked at him with a pitiful face and said, "I miss my Mom."

"Do you want to visit her tomorrow? You haven't seen her for long?" Butler Li thought Ethan was referring to Monica. "Her death anniversary is in a month."

Ethan sighed deeply. "I almost forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me, Uncle Li. But I'm not referring to my biological mother."

"Then who are you referring to?" Butler Li asked him.

Ethan's lips curled up in a broad smile and said meaningfully, "My other mom." 

"Eh? You mean Miss Abi?" Butler Li asked him again for confirmation. But Ethan shook his head.

"Don't worry, Uncle Li. I'll bring her here soon. I'll introduce her to you," Ethan blurted out confidently.

Butler Li just nodded his head and stroked his head. "Okay. I'll look forward to that day. I'm glad you finally smile. Now, let's eat first. You should grow taller like your Dad."

Ethan bobbed his head. His appetite came back. He was also looking forward to the day he would stay with both his father and Miss Jane. He didn't know why he was so attached to Jane.

*****I think you should take a look at

[ At Dave's Apartment… ]

Jane wanted to know Dave's reason why he cheated on Abigail. If it was because of Nathan, then Jane would feel that it was her fault. She used her sister's body to get closer to Nathan. If she could only explain this to Abigail.

But aside from knowing his reason, she came there because she wouldn't let him slide for making her sister cry. Jane walked with large strides until she reached Dave's apartment. She was surprised to see the mess in front of his backyard. It looked like a typhoon visited the place.

The broken pieces of pot could be seen on the ground. The outside benches were scattered upside down. And Dave was just sitting on the doorstep like a beggar. Several cans of beer were on his side. Dave drowned himself in alcohol because he couldn't handle the guilt of betraying Abigail.

With a dark expression on her face, Jane lifted Dave up, making him face her. She held him by his collar and pushed him into the closed door. 

"Is it true? Did you betray my sister? Why did you sleep with another woman?"

Dave's tipsiness seemed to disappear when he heard that. He just realized that Jane was the person who dropped by. And what did she just say?

"H-How did you know that?" Dave asked her in disbelief. He was shocked because he thought no one knew what had transpired there except him and Karina. How come Jane knew something about it?

Jane's eyebrows were drawn together in a deep frown. "You didn't know? Abi caught you doing the act here! She saw you having sex with your colleague!"

Clueless, Dave's eyes widened. He lost the ability to speak. He felt like his whole world crumbled before his eyes. No way! Abigail saw what happened with her own eyes! He automatically fell to his knees in front of Jane, feeling devastated. It was the end of the world for him. That's how he felt at that certain moment.

Dave's body began to tremble as he cried. "I'm sorry. It's my fault." His heart was so heavy. Regret was written all over his face.

At that certain moment, Jane felt that something was off. This was not right. She was about to talk to Dave when someone suddenly grabbed him, throwing a punch right through his face.

Thud!

Dave hit the door because of the impact. His lips immediately bled after getting hit by that hard punch.

"Nathan?" Jane didn't expect to see Nathan. He was showing up today in an unexpected situation. This lunchtime, she saw him in the same restaurant where she was meeting Vincent. Later in the afternoon, Nathan also showed up at Stephen's house. Was this just a coincidence or perhaps, Nathan was following her?

But Jane had no time to ponder about that since Nathan was beating Dave right now. She had to stop him, otherwise, Dave would die from too much beating.

"Nate, stop it already?" Jane grabbed Nathan's wrist, blocking his punch.

But Nathan was not looking at her. His bloody eyes were staring at Dave. "How could you do that to her? She chose you! Why did you have to break her heart like that?! I thought you loved her? I was wrong about you!" Nathan grabbed Dave by his collar. Dave was not fighting back. He just let Nathan punch him. He thought he deserved it.

"Nathan Sparks! Step back!" Jane raised her voice, shouting at Nathan. She could no longer watch this chaos.

Nathan glared at her with disbelief. "Why? Are you still rooting for this man for your sister?" Nathan asked her through his gritted teeth. He became more annoyed and furious since Jane was stopping him. He felt like Jane was protecting Dave from him.

Jane pursed her lips. She grabbed his arm and dragged him with full force as she separated him from Dave.

"Why are you here?" Jane questioned him with a serious expression on her face. She realized that Nathan heard their conversation. It only meant Nathan had been there, listening to them all along.

Nathan refused to answer her. He was still enraged. He just stood there, clenching his fists while giving Dave a deathly glare.

"Stay out of this, Nate. I'm already here to confront Dave. If you will become violent like this, then I have no choice but to send you away. If you want to beat him, then wait. I have to talk to him first!" Jane started scolding Nathan.

Dave was in a great mess. He was drunk and his face was badly beaten up by Nathan. He got bruises all over his face and his lips bled with cuts.

Jane pulled Dave, guiding him inside the house.

Bam!

She closed the door, locking it from the inside. Nathan was left outside.

"How dare she slam the door in my face?" Nathan was furious, squinting his eyes at the closed door. He started cursing inwardly.
