Book:BROKEN : Satanic Verses Published:2024-5-1

Nick turned his gaze to Devada, and found the girl’s eyes were red from crying. A condition that plunged Nick into a big question mark. The man wanted to know the continuation of the severed words, but the girl continued without being asked. Devada said, “He is the one who killed Dev!” Nick’s eyes widened perfectly at the statement that was like a lightning strike. Nick’s defenses as a mighty man have fallen.
“What are you saying?” Nick shook Devada’s shoulder, while the girl just didn’t budge. Do not deny Nick’s treatment is fairly rude.
“He’s the one who kidnapped Dev. In fact, raped him. He’s Callin, your own son with another woman!” Nick’s knees dropped to the floor. The fact that was revealed was not enough to prick his eardrums. Nick must find a more painful reality than being flogged a thousand times on the gallows.
“Say that what you say is not true!” Nick gripped Devada’s hand very roughly. Anger really has penetrated perfectly into his heart and mind.
“Even if you want to kill me, you won’t be able to change that reality!” Nick let go of his hand and rolled over the things he saw. Bad habit every time he feels angry.
“I don’t care if you want to believe it or not! What is clear, I will avenge their crimes!” Devada rubbed her blistered, red wrist, then walked away, leaving Nick and all the mess.
“Wait!” Devada turned around.
“I’ll think of everything. This, I forgot to give it to you.” Nick held out the black-eyed necklace.
“What for?”
“It’s from Jess. She misses Elfara very much, and she sees her daughter alive in you. I wish you would wear it!” explained Nick.
“Okay!” The girl immediately put it on in front of Nick, then continued the stopped steps.
It took Nick some time to think. He couldn’t just trust strangers. However, the evidence in front of his eyes as well as the honesty that was seen from the innocent girl pushed him to side with the girl. Although it can’t be denied, another corner of his heart assumes that Devada could be Joana’s enemy who takes advantage of his condition. Remembering the mystery of Devada, Nick rushes to check his laptop to find out how the girl got out last day without anyone knowing.
“Impossible! How could she just disappear? She’s definitely not a random person,” he muttered.

After what she tried to make only a few changes to Nick, Devada finally decided to finish her revenge alone. After returning from Nick’s house, the girl in the black shirt darted to Joana’s house. Several times after pressing the bell, Joana appeared with the typical appearance of waking up.
“Ha … Devada?”
“What did you do last night?” asked Devada, feigning ignorance.
“Oh, the usual!”
“I want a ride to pee!” said Devada as she barged in. How happy she was to see the panic that spread on the face of the woman who was fairly mature.
“Deva … uh, where are you going?” Joana chased the girl, and tried to block her from entering the room.
“To the bathroom!” Devada replied without stopping the pace.
“Uh, don’t! I mean, just use the bathroom in your room!”
“That’s too far, I can’t take it anymore!” The girl started to turn the knob of the bathroom door, ignoring the chill that hit the woman behind her. What made Joana act weird like that? And the second the door opened, the exposed sight answered everything. Devada gaped, then her gaze was lost in any direction.
“Shit! What is he doing?” Devada whispered.
“Who are you? How dare you enter without permission!” A naked youth said as he wrapped a towel around his waist, covering something that was already visible.
“I?” A crooked smile appeared on Devada’s face, she thought that the young man had left so that their decay would not be smelled. It turned out that her prediction was wrong.
“Well, I’m just a stranger here, that’s why you have to explain everything, Mrs. Joana! Who is this man? Is he your boyfriend? I think he’s too young. Or is he your brother? Oh, yeah, I almost forgot something. You said once that you didn’t have a brother. In fact, you never know where your family is,” said Devada. The young doctor froze, not knowing what answer she was preparing.
“Devada, it’s Callin! He’s actually an intern at the same hospital as me.”
“Oh yes? I think the hospital would be deserted if he was there. He could have treated the patients straight away by sending them to the grave!” Suddenly, a touch of heat hit Devada’s cheeks. Callin gave her an angry look.
“Watch your mouth!” Callin exclaimed. The young man shuffled towards the door.
“You’d better do it, Dude! For rottenness hides not only in your mouth, but in all the fibers of your flesh.”
“Where did you take that trash from?” Callin’s eyes turned to Joana.
“Devada, keep your manners!” Joana, who had been confused about what to do, finally spoke up.
“Why would I keep my decency to an animal like you?”
“Devada, what’s wrong with you? What are you saying?” Joana protested, of course, she was confused by the girl’s sudden change in attitude.
“Fake it while you can, but I will stop everything, Joana!” said Devada. Callin immediately turned around, and suddenly his hand gripped Devada’s jaw. Callin’s jawbone hardened.
“What did you say?” Devada removed the muscular hand from her face. Slow, but enough to make the young man feel the power she has.
“Don’t try to touch me with your dirty hands!” Another blow flew, Devada felt a red line moving from her nostrils.
“Enough, Callin!” Joana shouted, she approached Devada and looked at her confused.
“I don’t understand why you seem to hate Callin so much. And I don’t understand why you are suddenly like that to me too.”
“Stop acting innocent! You think I don’t know your real relationship? You guys are really a couple, I don’t know what to call it. A pair of children and a mother, but you two have a husband and wife relationship. Gross!” Shock enveloped Joana’s face for a moment, and Callin was no exception. As a polish to perfect their expressions, Devada took the phone, then played a hot video of the two. The faces of the unusual couple looked just as Devada wanted them to. That’s just the beginning because today there will be a sweeter and tempting surprise.
“What is your problem?” Callin asked.
“Just remember the face of someone in a mansion that ended up exploding!” While wading through the words that Devada spoke, a memory led Callin to an incident.
“You?” Callin stepped back, while Joana was still petrified. Didn’t understand at all what Devada meant.
“Don’t tell me you picked her up, Mama!” Callin snapped at Joana.
“Unfortunately, I do have to thank your mother and girlfriend, Callin! It was thanks to her that I became like this.”
“So, you’re Dev-Nick’s son?” Joana was shocked to hear Devada’s confession.
“Do you think I’ve been reduced to ashes after the explosion?”
“God damn it!” Joan cursed. The woman then dialed the contact on the cellphone, but Devada quickly grabbed it and made it split on the floor.
“You are a weak woman, but very cunning!” Devada’s curses provoked Callin to test his muscle strength. The young man who looks similar to Joana doesn’t care any more, even though the Dev he currently recognizes is in the form of a very adorable woman.
The girl let Callin beat her without a fight. Some parts of her body look red. In fact, a small tear that oozed a little blood adorned the face. Devada looked down for a moment, then her head straightened up again. The vengeful look in her eyes makes anyone who sees it feel like they are being roasted in the bowels of the earth. Devada’s hand went up, her fingers wrapped around Callin’s neck. Instantly the young man felt a lack of oxygen, and his suffering increased when Devada’s leg swing made a sound.
“Let go of Callin!” shouted Joana, the smell of anxiety wafting up. However, the girl didn’t budge. She was more than happy to see Callin suffering more and more. Callin’s bulging eyes were like ripe grapes. Devada wanted to devour it.
“Soon, you can date a snake in the crust of hell.” Devada was so enjoying the process of releasing Callin’s spirit from the body that she didn’t realize it was Joana who was ready to plant a knife into her back. However, what happened was unexpected. Devada’s left hand swiftly parried Joana’s attack. This time, no more forgiveness. The girl threw Joana’s body without losing her focus on Callin.
“Argh!” Joana grimaced when her back hit the wooden cupboard pretty hard. The woman then lost consciousness after bleeding from her mouth and nose. Devada didn’t glance at all. Beads of sweat dripped from Callin’s forehead. The young man tried to dodge, but his efforts failed until his remaining time on earth had run out. Devada’s arms loosened after feeling Callin’s body go limp. She also let the body that was only wrapped in a towel fell to the floor with his eyelids open and mouth gaping.
“Sangue é poder!” As was the case with Mark, a magical whisper floated up. So soft, but can break the eardrums of ordinary people. After that, the black cloud roll sucked Callin’s blood out, and instantly Devada felt like her body was munitioned.
“Have fun in hell, Bastard!”
“And you will follow him!” Devada turned her head when a man’s deep voice was heard.
