Devis Mansion
Living Hall
Jonathan stood stiffly near the entrance, watching Amber lead Justin into the mansion.
A cold drop of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He looked at the family members.
Every single one of them knew who Amber was.
Everyone…
Except Justin.
Jonathan (POV):
I am trapped. 😅
Everyone knows she's Amber.
Except Justin and Stephen kids.
And Justin currently thinks she's just his cute caretaker sister.
If he discovers that his beloved Sister is actually his terrifying mother…
I AM DEAD.
He glanced at Amber.
She was standing beside Justin, who was still holding onto her arm.
Jonathan (thinking):
Why is she so calm?
Why isn't she angry?
Actually, that's worse.
When Amber is calm, somebody's life is in danger.
Meanwhile, Amber lowered herself slightly to look at Justin.
Her expression softened.
Amber:
"Do you want me to hold your hand, dear?" ☺️
Justin immediately turned towards her.
Justin:
"Please." 🥰
Amber gently took his hand and held it securely.
Justin looked satisfied.
Justin (thinking):
Perfect.
Now I have someone to protect me from the villainess.
Unfortunately, he had no idea that his protector and the villainess were the same person.
Amber:
"Come on. Let's take you to your room." ☺️
Justin tilted his head.
Justin:
"Huh? Sister, do you know where my room is?" 😕
Amber didn't even blink.
She simply turned her head towards Jonathan.
Amber:
"No. Your father will show us." 😒
Jonathan: 😶
Jonathan (POV):
Oh my God.
She has already assigned me a job.
She didn't even ask politely.
She's going to kill me today. 😱
Nevertheless, he forced a polite smile.
Jonathan:
"Th-this way, please." 😅
He started walking towards the staircase.
Amber followed, holding Justin's hand.
As she passed Grandma Devis, the older woman instinctively moved aside.
Grandma: 😶
Amber gave her a polite smile.
Amber:
"Good evening."
Grandma:
"G-Good evening…" 😅
And just like that, Amber disappeared upstairs with Justin.
Jonathan followed them.
His footsteps became slower with every step.
Jonathan (thinking):
I should have stayed in the hospital.
Actually, I should have never left the hospital.
Living Hall — After Their Departure
For approximately five seconds…
Nobody moved.
Nobody spoke.
Nobody even breathed properly.
Then
Grandpa Devis leaned back against the sofa.
Grandpa:
"She still slays, man." 😎
Grandma slowly turned towards him.
Grandma: 😶
Grandpa:
"What?"
Grandma:
"Do you have any idea how terrifying that woman is?"
Grandpa:
"Of course! That's what makes her impressive!" 😎
Grandma:
"…"
She decided not to argue.
She needed time to recover from her near-death experience.
Meanwhile, Steven smiled.
Steven:
"Whatever anyone says… the moment she stepped inside this house, something felt different."
He looked towards the staircase.
Steven:
"This house finally feels complete again." ☺️
Joseph nodded.
Joseph:
"Agreed, brother." ☺️
Megan crossed her arms.
Megan:
"Well, I agree that her presence changes everything… but she still has that devil aura."
She shivered.
Megan:
"I got goosebumps just looking at her." 😱
Lauren remained silent.
Lauren: 😶
Thomas, however, looked absolutely fascinated.
Thomas:
"She's SO COOL!"
Everyone turned towards him.
Thomas:
"Seriously!That Sister is the best!" 😎
Emily raised an eyebrow.
Emily:
"I've decided something." 😏
Thomas:
"What now?" 😐
Emily stood up dramatically.
Emily:
"From today onwards, I'm taking lessons from her."
Thomas:
"Lessons?"
Emily:
"Yes! I want to become confident, fearless and powerful like her!" 😎
Thomas immediately stood beside her.
Thomas:
"ME TOO!" 😎
Emily:
"Imagine walking into a room and making everyone afraid without even saying anything!"
Thomas:
"Exactly!"
Grandpa nodded approvingly.
Grandpa:
"Good choice. Learn from the master." 😎
Grandma:
"Please don't encourage them." 😑
Dining Hall — Natalie's Side
Meanwhile, Natalie continued feeding Lussy.
She had heard the entire conversation.
Without even looking up, she smiled proudly.
Natalie:
"My big sister always slays." 😎
Lussy nodded while chewing.
Lussy:
"Yep. She's my devil aunt." 😎
Natalie smiled.
Natalie:
"That's right."
Lussy suddenly looked towards the staircase.
Lussy:
"But why was that boy so scared?"
Natalie chuckled.
Natalie:
"That's a long story."
Lussy:
"Is he afraid of Aunt Amber?"
Natalie:
"Apparently."
Lussy thought for a moment.
Lussy:
"Poor boy."
Natalie nodded.
Natalie:
"Very poor boy." 😂
Neither of them realised that the boy they were discussing was currently upstairs, completely unaware of the truth about his family.
Meanwhile — Upstairs
Jonathan walked ahead, showing Amber the way to Justin's bedroom.
Justin happily held Amber's hand.
Justin: 🥰
Jonathan occasionally glanced backwards.
Jonathan: 😱
Amber noticed his nervous expression.
Amber: 😈
Jonathan immediately looked away.
Jonathan (POV):
Why is she smiling?
Why does that smile look like a death sentence?
Please, somebody save me.
Actually… nobody in this house will save me.
He glanced towards Justin.
Justin was happily talking to Amber.
Justin:
"Sister, can you stay with me for a while?" ☺️
Amber:
"Of course, dear." 🥰
Jonathan: 😭
Jonathan (thinking):
Wonderful.
My son has found his favourite person.
And his father has found his executioner.
