Devils And Angel
Chapter One
I was blindfolded and tied up. A piece of cloth covering my nose and mouth, I can barely breath.
The last thing I remember was sitting on the park bench, with my suitcase. Just evicted, reading an apology note from my good for nothing father.
The mouth gag and blindfold were suddenly ripped from my head.
Revealing some kind of.... Warehouse?
Some sort of industrial building. It smelt really bad I almost puked.
Sitting in front of me, was a middle aged woman, though she didn't look bad for her age, very good in fact.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I'm so sorry honey! Those idiots didn't understand the concept of "bring her here gently".
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I shall punish them!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
*mumbles* It's my first time doing this sort of thing...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
You needn't be so defensive, my dear! I won't harm you.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I'm Poppy Westfield, CEO of MagiTech. You can just call me Ms Westfield.
Anya Ventura
Wait a second, MagiTech?
MagiTech is a large production company! They also happened to own half the city and about a dozen casinos!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
And you, Anya, are my esteemed guest!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Such a lovely name! Did your mother pick it?
She must've seen the sadness in my eyes as her expression became more sympathetic.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset -
Anya Ventura
No, it's ok...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Anyway, I brought you here because...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Your father owes me a great debt...
Anya Ventura
I'm very sorry! I - We'll pay you back as soon as possible!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
You don't need to lie to me, I know you're alone. We found you on the street, remember?
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
With the note...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I'm very sorry.
Anya Ventura
I promise to try and pay you back! I'm only a student, albeit not a very good one, but I'll still try!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I could probably wait a few years, when you have a job, you are a smart girl but....
Anya Ventura
I don't have the grades to get into a well paying job?
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Um... Yes.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
But, I have a proposal!
Proposal? Does that mean I have to wear a bunny suit and wait tables at the casino?
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Don't look so frightened my girl! I promise it's harmless!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
You see, I wish to go into retirement and wish to hand over the job of CEO to one of my six sons.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
But the problem is none of them are married or have girlfriends that are nice!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
They refuse to take it anyway, but I'm getting old and wish to live my life in peace.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
This is where you come in.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
If you were to we'd one of my sons your debt would become ours! And would, therfore, be void!
Anya Ventura
I've never even kissed anyone! Let alone dated!
Anya Ventura
How could I possibly think of marriage...
Anya Ventura
I've got more pressing things to think about.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I'm afraid you marry one of my sons or... you pay back the 1.2 million your father owes.
One...point two... million??
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Your father left you with nothing, what kind of man would do that to his own flesh and blood? Don't you want a home?
I haven't had a real home since my mom died...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Someone to care for you, love you?
Anya Ventura
How do you know one of your sons will like me, let alone love me?
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I know them better than anyone, you're a catch!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
A face like yours should be attracting all sorts of admieres!
Maybe that'd happen if I weren't so shy, guys do stare at me but I become flustered and ignore them or walk away, coming off as rude.
I'd like to have one of those again...
Anya Ventura
I - If I were to say yes...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Your schooling fees, university fees, household expenses, everything will be taken care of by us.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
We will support you in any way shape or form, any carrier choice etc.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Whether it be a housewife or a CEO!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I'll invest in any business ideas you have!
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Also, my sons have nothing do with the gambling...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
I'm case that puts you off, my older sons left a long time ago and my younger ones don't have any interest in it.
Anya Ventura
What are their jobs?
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Hmm, let me see...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
They're all very passionate: my eldest and middle are civil servants, my triplets are in the entertainment industry and my second eldest has his own business, I don't know what it is though...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
He keeps it to himself, his brothers are aware though.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
*mumbkes*Keeping secrets from me.... little buggers.
It's not what I was expecting.
I've lost my house, my family... I'll probably be murdered (joking) or kidnapped (again) if I stay on the streets in my neighbourhood...
Anya Ventura
Ok, I accept your offer.
She beamed, clapping her hands together.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
Yay! Pleasure doing business with you...
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
My future daughter - in - law!

Chapter Two
Yesterday, I agreed to marry one of Mrs Westfield's six sons.
Why was I so desperate? That's right...
My stupid father abandoned me!!
He'd been gambling for as long as I can remember. I think believe he does love me he just...
Ugh, I don't know! Why am I making excuses for him?
He deserves whatever karma he gets!
I was walking to school, it rained last night and everything was soaking.
Last night, I found a cardboard box, which I slept in. However, it only shielded me temporarily leaving me to wake up in a puddle.
My clothes were wrinkled and wet, luckily the contents of my suitcase were bone dry.
So, I put on a warm red hoodie.
Unfortunately, it would cost me yet another dress code violation.
It wasn't my fault my father didn't buy me uniform!
I had to buy it myself, working part time as a baby sitter. Which I didn't mind, I like kids.
My hair was frizzy from the rain, the hood of my hoodie was now wet. My coat had holes in it and I haven't had time to fix it.
I just have to hold on a little longer, once I marry one of Mrs Westfield's sons I'll have a home!
Maybe I should buy a tent...
Yeah right where am I going to find a tent for £10?
I wonder what her sons look like, she's very attractive so they must be too! No! Don't fantasise! Focus Anya!
I walked through the school gates, where I was greeted by my "favourite" person, Leon West.
Leo Westfield
Morning, Ya-ya.
He's the school bad boy and narcissistic, but everybody's to "in love" with him to put him in his place.
I narrowed my eyes at him, ignoring his greeting.
He hopped down from his perch on the brick wall and caught up with me.
Leo Westfield
Not in a friendly mood today?
Anya Ventura
No, I'm just not in a "Leon" mood today.
Leo Westfield
You've wounded me, Ya-ya.
He dramatically held a hand over his heart, pretending to be hurt.
Anya Ventura
Stop calling me that.
Leo Westfield
You're no fun.
He stuck his tongue out at me, I copied him.
He pulled my hood down before running off.
I only share homeroom and few classes with him, why does he bother me?
Pulling me into the nearest classroom, my only friend, Clover, jealously huffed crossing her arms.
Clover Reed
How come Leon, my Prince, talks to you when you just ignore him?!
I forgot to mention, she has a huge long term obsession over Leon.
Anya Ventura
He probably just enjoys teasing me because I'm a closed off person.
She squinted at me before dramatically sighing and hopping onto a desk.
Clover Reed
You're propably right! Oh! I meant to ask, where were you yesterday?
Clover Reed
You left at break and never came back.
I was held against my will in a dingey warehouse.
Anya Ventura
I had to leave for a job.
Clover Reed
I sent you a million texts!
Clover Reed
Anyway, Sean is having a mixer at Love Lake café tonight, wanna come?
Anya Ventura
You know I don't like parties...
She pouted and I rolled my eyes.
Anya Ventura
... I'll think about it.
The bell rang and Clover smiled.
The school bell chimed and Clover smiled.
Clover Reed
Yay ~. Come, Anya I want to see my Prince arrive!
Just like that, she dragged me to homeroom.
I like Clover and support her 100% but she could never have a relationship with him, idols aren't allowed lovers.
No idol would be ignorant enough to stake a career on that, especially Leon West.

Chapter Three
Mattias Westfield
Hello, class. Please take your seats.
Mr Fields walked into the room, his textbooks in hand.
Clover Reed
Ah~ I forgot how dreamy Mr Fields is~
Seriously... He's our teacher. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
I lay out my wet hoodie on the radiator next to my chair.
Mattias Westfield
Alright everyone, I'm going to do attendance.
Clover Reed
Mr Fields! You seem excited today!
Mattias Westfield
Why yes, thank you Clover.
Mattias Westfield
I received some exciting news.
His eyes moved from Clover to me, we locked eyes and he smiled.
I couldn't hide the blush that crept on my face, why am I so shy??
Why did his eyes glimmer when he looked at me?
The second bell rang, signalling the start of class.
Luckily I didn't need to move, Mr Fields was my science teacher.
Clover pouted when Leon didn't show up for science either.
I wonder why he didn't come to tutor...
Every sentence Mr Fields recited seemed to just go straight through me, I couldn't concentrate.
Not when I had to think about where I was going to sleep tonight.
He picked on me... He doesn't usually, he knows chemistry isn't my strong point.
Mattias Westfield
Which chemical is this?
He pointed to the letters and numbers on the board.
Anya Ventura
It's... Hydrogen pyroxide.
Mattias Westfield
Correct.
I just guessed, that'd would have been embarrassing to get wrong.
Strange, he doesn't normally pick on me, we had an unspoken agreement about speaking in class.
I usually get so tongue tied and embarrassed.
After what felt like forever, the bell chimed again, signalling break time.
It's been almost a day since I was kidnapped...
Just as the thought left my head, I got a text.
I thought I had no credit?
I took out my phone and saw a text from an unknown number.
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
"Hello Anya! It's your mother - in - law to be! I've renewed your phone and saved your number."
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
"Please save this so we can chat! Oh! And here are my sons numbers in order of age/name:
. 'XXXXXXXXXXX' (Mattias)
. 'XXXXXXXXXXX' (Alistor)
. 'XXXXXXXXXXX' (Rue)
. 'XXXXXXXXXXX' (Vincent)
. 'XXXXXXXXXXX' (Ashton)
. 'XXXXXXXXXXX' (Leo)
Mrs (Poppy) Westfield
"Feel free to call or text whenever!"
I guess I should save them, no reason not to.
I made the new contacts:
. Matthias
. Alistor
. Rue
. Vincent
. Ashton
. Leo
I can't believe I'm really doing this...
I opened the text box for the youngest, Leo.
How am I supposed to compose a message to someone I don't know?
"Hello, this is Anya Ventura."
There, simple and polite.
I waited for most of my break but to no avail.
If he was the youngest, perhaps he was at school or maybe college?
Clover Reed
Hey, I'm going to the bathroom! I need to do my makeup and make a call!
I'm sleeping in the rain again...
Mrs Westfield said I'd be able to move in, in a couple of days.
I made a mental note to text her later.
My eyes drifted to Clover and I's desk, she'd left her phone.
Anya Ventura
Hey, Clover! Wait, you forgot your phone!
I ran out the classroom, heading for the girls bathroom.
