100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Sixty…

~~*****~~

Stephen guided Jane to his cabin. He was done preparing everything. No one knows about this session except them. Cherry and Ethan were playing video games inside Jane's cabin while Dave and Abigail were roaming around the resort.

Tatsumi noticed that Jane and Stephen were alone in his room so he decided to spy on them. He wondered what they were doing inside. Though he was threatened by Nathan's presence, Stephen seemed to be another competitor.

'Sigh! So many guys surrounding my Lady," Tatsumi lamented to himself, scratching the back of his neck.

Tatsumi made a move. Like a spy, he approached the cabin discreetly. He put a spying device on the window. After he was done, he proceeded to his cabin to listen.

Clueless about the other person who was listening to them, Stephen and Jane started the session.

"Are you ready, Jane?" Stephen softly asked her.

Jane nodded her head. She was sitting on a chair and Stephen was standing in front of her. Stephen closed both windows and doors to make the surroundings quiet and free from outside noise. No lights were turned on to keep the room dim.

"Let's put our phone in silent mode," Stephen suggested.

Jane passed her mobile phone over to Stephen after putting it in silent mode.

"You can sit comfortably and just relax, okay?" Stephen was making sure that she would feel at ease first.

Jane bobbed her head. But deep inside, she was a little bit anxious. She didn't know what she would see for today's session. She just hoped it would work.

"Focus your gaze and begin breathing… slowly and deeply," Stephen said in a low and soothing voice. He needed to calm her down and make her feel safe.

Jane listened to his every instruction. Stephen began to use the power pendulum, making her eyes follow the movements of his swinging watch.

"Let your body sink naturally into the couch as your muscles relax. Listen to your body and my voice as you begin to feel calm. Your eyes may feel heavy and want to close. Don't worry, you are safe here."

Jane allowed herself to immerse in Stephen's words. Her will to remember her past was strong enough that Stephen managed to calm her uneasy heart. Jane continued to focus, breathing in and out.

After a few minutes, she could already feel her eyelids becoming heavy. She let herself drift and fall. She could still hear Stephen's faint voice, urging her to dig deeper into her subconscious and looked for something she was searching for.

Soon, Jane began to see herself. She was looking into her own image– a lady in a fitting long red dress. She holding the pendant of her diamond necklace. It looked like she was attending a gathering.

She looked around and found herself in the middle of the crowd. Several people are wearing long gowns and tuxedos with their different masks on. It was a masquerade ball.

Then her eyes fell on someone. A guy wearing a golden mask and a white tuxedo. Jane's eyes lit up when she saw the man. Her lips curled up into an evil smile.

"Target lock," she mumbled before making her way into the crowd, slowly approaching the man in a white tuxedo. That man seemed like he was busy talking with his business partners. He was surrounded by five men.

When the man in a white tuxedo said goodbye to them, Jane grabbed a glass of red wine and traced her steps toward the guy. She intentionally bumped into him and the wine spilled on both of their clothes.

Some guests gasped when they witnessed the scene. In just a few seconds, several men in black swarmed in their direction. They looked like bodyguards. They were about to subdue her but the man in a white tuxedo intervened, stopping the men from touching her.

"I'm sorry. It's my mistake for bumping into you," Jane apologized as she bowed her head.

The man just looked at her, his sharp eyes scanning her from top to bottom. Jane could feel his intense gaze.

The guy lifted her chin so that he would meet her emerald eyes. The two stared at each other for a long moment, not breaking an eye-contact. Jane flashed her charming smile. 

The man grabbed her hand  and said, "Come with me."

Jane, who was witnessing this scene in her subconscious, suddenly felt uncomfortable. Her stomach churned and her heart began to race. 

"Don't go!" she mumbled as she watched herself being pulled by this guy. Her instinct could feel the danger she might face if she would go with him.

Meanwhile, Stephen could see that crease on Jane's forehead. She began to sweat profusely. And her fingers were clutching the armrest too tightly. 

"Don't go," she mumbled, shaking her head from left to right.

Stephen could sense that something was wrong. What was she seeing? Did she remember something unpleasant? Stephen contemplated whether to continue this or wake her up.

"Jane, listen to me. Can you hear me? Wake up now!" Stephen began to worry when she saw her struggling in her seat.

"Jane!" Stephen kept calling her name.

Jane groaned and her breathing became heavy. Her body shook and trembled.

"Jane," Stephen held her hands, trying to wake her up.

It did not take long before Jane snapped her eyes open and she gasped, catching her breath. 

"Are you okay?" Stephen immediately supported her, helping her up.

Jane's face looked so pale. Worry and fear were written all over her face.

"What did you see? Did something wrong happen?" Stephen asked her softly, giving her a glass of water.

Jane couldn't utter a word for a moment. She didn't know why her heart was beating rapidly at this moment. Was she afraid of something? Why? Why did his presence make her so nervous and scared?

"I saw a guy… with a stallion tattoo on his left wrist… I guess he is the leader of the King Stallion Mafia…" Jane finally managed to speak.

"He is the target that you missed… The first mission you failed," Stephen mumbled.

Jane clutched her chest and nodded her head. "Yes…" She could still feel the fast beating of her heart.
