5- Monster
~ Sebastian ~
Those who dwell in darkness lose their path to the surface. That is where they belong. That is where ‘I' belong.
And I love it.
Each drop of misery I gain exhilarates me. I could never have enough of one's pain, one's blood. I crave it to fulfill the thirst of the devil within me.
I don't know when this bloodlust induced in me but I don't regret it either. I don't need anything but to quench my thirst for despair. I don't want to rule the abyss, I want to become the abyss.
I love being a sinfully heartless devil.
That is where ‘I' belong.
'I can't believe it, Mate! Not only you didn't bother to invite your own fucking Brother but didn't let us come either!?" Father yelled, infuriated at the fact that I didn't bother to call them at my wedding.
My silver eyes remained unaffected, pushing my raven hairs falling on my face behind. Turning mute to his scolding as it couldn't alter the fate of the poor soul I have successfully imprisoned.
Pitiful woman, tied to the most unwanted man. Her life is going to become hell when she will realize I am not the Prince she sought.
‘She is going to regret admiring me.'
I was in the main hall, sitting on the couch, leaning back with my one leg over the other, rubbing my temple, ignoring each word he spoke.
Unfortunately, I decided to pay them a visit before going to work.
After my wedding holidays, It was my first day at work so I thought going to them which was a terrible choice.
'Hmmm."
Releasing a long hum, I closed my eyes for a second, lips curled down to discard the noise.
'Don't just hum. Respond properly! What the hell were you thinking!? How could you just marry out of the blue!?" He yelled again, losing his patience with me but I remained unaffected.
'Hmmm."
'Ruben got to know from the news that his own damn brother is married. What's your problem with him!?"
My jaw clenched when he brought Ruben into this matter.
Opening my eyes, I sent a death-glare in Father's direction to halt his unnecessary scolding before my non-existent patience fades and I end up doing what he won't be able to bear.
'Don't drag Ruben into this. I am not obliged to invite him." I warned him to not speak further.
They both narrowed their eyes at me in repulsion but it was not new, I was used to this expression.
Not only from them but everyone.
That is who I am and it feels satisfactory when they realize who they are talking to.
'Okay fine. Let's keep Ruben out of this. What about your wife Eileen?" He scoffed, folding his arm.
'What about her?" I sighed, arching a brow.
'You married Eileen Lior of all people. An innocent and kind hearted girl." He said angrily.
'So what?" I asked with a sour face.
'I ask, Why ruin the life of that poor woman by binding her with a ruthless animal like you?" He growled but I smirked darkly in return.
It made my heart skip a beat in thrill. It sounds utterly bewitching.
An innocent soul trapped with pure ignorance in a devil's trap. It made me electrified.
'Dear, You can't call your own son this." Mother said, trying to hold Father but they both know his words were a perfect definition of our bond.
'I am right, Melissa. Look at him, this bastard is smirking! He would break that soul beyond repair. He is going to ruin her life."
He began to lose his strength to release further anger but I was only taking pride.
'Sounds beautiful." I mumbled, turning my head away for a second with a fiendish chuckle which I tried to suppress but couldn't.
'See! He is well aware of his beastly nature yet chose an innocent for his indulgence. Why, Sebastian? Why did you destroy her life?" He asked faintly, relaxing his shoulders.
With a deeply grieved face, emitting sympathy- Not for me, but my wife who is now trapped with me.
"Are you planning to become a casanova too, huh?!" Father yelled. But Mother was holding Father before he died of another heart attack, helping him to sit down.
'Son, there must be a reason. Do you love her? Do you like her? You have never toyed with women before. How did she catch your attention?" Mother asked.
'Attention? She didn't get my attention nor love. In fact, I feel nothing for that woman." I replied, rising from my seat, frightening both my parents in dread to fathom what beast they have brought up.
Their eyes widened in appall when I spoke this, shivering to ponder what I am going to do if I didn't intend to love her.
'Then… Why?" Father asked vaguely, definitely resenting the dark smirk affixed on my lips when my features darkened.
'I want that woman to give birth to my heir or heiress."
I enunciated which made them gasp, not believing how I have chained her only for my selfish purpose.
'For a child? Does she or her family know-" I cut Mother off.
'No. No one knows but she could have this world under her feet as long as she remains within her boundary. I don't intend to hurt her… for now." I added for now because I know I will grow weary.
She had already been testing my patience with her mien. I married her so she could stay quietly without complaining but her demands left me on the edge.
This woman should be grateful for the leniency I provide.
'Sebastian, please, leave that poor soul alone. You can find any girl who would willingly do this. But she doesn't even know who you are, what we are. Don't bring an innocent soul into our tainted bloodline." Mother whispered, almost begging me to stop.
But hearing enhanced my craving, the sight when she will realize things are not what she imagined was beautiful.
I needed it. I wanted her to suffer in my palm for my personal satisfaction.
Licking my lips in thrill, I rested my hand on the armrest of the chair, leaning forward which startled them, smirking and growing sinister as I snickered.
'That is exactly why I desire her."
The sound of my tainted laugh left them horrified, shaking their heads in denial but I continued.
'I want to taint her soul." I growled, reflecting my animalistic urges, hysteria flickering in my eyes.
'I want to break her."
