The Devil Charming's
Part 8's

Edward walked into the office which he had left for several days with quiet steps. The aura of power and charm made everyone who passed by at that time bow to him respectfully, but not a few of the female employees who stole a glance at the handsome creatures who became their superiors. Edward himself is not a proud and rigid person, the man was not reluctant to return greetings from his employees with a nod and a thin smile. It is common knowledge that Mr. Ed is always cool to be the topic of conversation of female employees during rest hours or when they gather. Edward himself did not dispute this as long as their performance was fine and did not abuse working hours as a time to gossip. After all, employees know themselves enough and are very reluctant to lose their jobs just because they are busy gossiping.

Victor immediately approached Edward when the man was already sitting in his great chair.

“Good morning, Mr.Ed. I didn't know you'd be back today.” “No problem Vic, I accidentally went back to New York because I prefer those who are looking for me,” replied Edward with a slanted smile.

Edward deliberately returned to New York not without reason. The man was convinced that Robinson's men were already looking for him and knew Edward was in New York. It will make it easier for Edward because indirectly they are willing to get out of their nest voluntarily without having to be forced. Edward is not the type of person who likes to chase and find where his enemy headquarters with actions that waste a lot of time, he will do many tricks to get his enemy out of hiding.

“Then what about the girl? Aren't they after him, too?"

Victor knows exactly what happened in Mexico even though he didn't go there. Edward's confidant always monitored his master's whereabouts in order to move quickly to send their trained agents to help immediately if Edward was pressed, even though it had never happened. Edward always handled things easily when the man said I would go alone. All the steps he took were always full of calculation and accuracy, even long before he moved it was certain that Edward would look for information on his target.

“He will be looking for me here soon. Mungin later tonight or no later than tomorrow morning,” said Edward relaxed.

Don't assume that Edward just let Lizbeth go, he did something to the girl before he left for New York. And it was confirmed that the girl would soon be looking for him.

Victor could only nod. Somehow Victor felt that Edward was deliberately doing this because of his too high a prestige to ask the girl to come with him.

“You really did it?” “How do you think?”

Edward opened his desk drawer and took something from there, a thin gold card he took out of the black box he took from the drawer. Edward swiped the card on the edge of his desk until it was split in two. From the side of the table there is another box that opens immediately after Edward again swiped the thin card on it. Edward took a small bottle of light blue liquid inside and left the bottle of dark blue liquid inside the box before closing it again until the table was split back together perfect. Edward put the small bottle in his pocket and put the secret card back in place. Victor who saw it all could only swallow his saliva rough, he did not expect Edward would be this cruel even just because he wanted Lizbeth to look for him. Victor knew very well what the light blue liquid was, it was the antidote for the poison that Edward had definitely given Lizbeth. Just imagine, Edward poisoned Lizbeth on purpose to have the girl look for him to get a cure. Well, although the poison won't be immediately deadly because it works very slowly, but only Edward has the antidote.

Usually Edward would give the poison to his prisoners who wanted to torture him slowly or wanted to kill him slowly without having to touch him. Edward even has a special team to create various poisons and drugs to meet the needs in the world of mafianya. Many mafias from various countries worked with him to buy poison or drugs, but Edward would only sell the product with limited even Edward never sold a fattening product. He is not stupid, if the enemy already has his weapons then he will easily be defeated, he will be defeated, therefore Edward only sells poison and medicine at a moderate dose while himself has many deadly poisons and wound healing drugs that work quickly, even all the poison he had there was always an antidote unlike the one he sold. “He's already moving apparently,” muttered Edward noticed his phone showing Lizbeth's movement.

Edward had put a tracking device on Lizbeth's body on the night of Robinson's cousin's wedding. When Edward gives the black chip a small size and say that it's a wiretap and Edward's tracker does not lie. But Lizbeth didn't realize it wasn't the thing that worked, but rather a thin, transparent layer that would instantly blend into the skin perfectly once the chip was affixed directly to the skin. Even though the chip had been removed, but a thin layer that had been fused with his skin would not be able to be separated if not Edward who did it. The genius man had a thousand ways to keep his enemies from suspecting.

Edward smiled smugly at Lizbeth who noticed the condition of his body quickly, it was not in doubt that the girl was quite great at this kind of knowledge. Maybe now Lizbeth has started to feel his uncomfortable throat like being hot inside. That was the initial effect of the poison residing in his body, because slowly the pain will spread throughout the body will even clog the respiratory tract. Was Edward cruel? Yes, because he is currently playing Eduardo Estebat, a deadly enchanting demon. Edward Miller is not the owner of the angel heart.

“What should I do, Mr.Ed?” ask Victor.

Edward leaned his body against the chair and rubbed his chin arrogantly watching the girl well.

Victor nodded and excused himself to leave Edward alone in the spacious room. Edward let out a sigh and again noticed Lizbeth's movements, apparently the girl was already at the airport visible from a red dot that stopped somewhere. The red dot is Lizbeth while the place is Mexico airport. Edward immediately hacked the CCTV that was there in order to see Lizbeth's face, it did not take long for Edward to get what he wanted. The man continued to observe Lizbeth's expression through his mobile phone. Until a knock on the door made Edward turn off his phone and allow someone to enter.

Edward developed his smile and moved quickly to hug the middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful.

“Mommy himself? Why didn't you call me? I can have the driver pick you up.”

Alena smiled and stroked Edward's head gently. “No need dear, mommy just stopped by for a while because missed you.” Edward invites Alena to sit on the sofa, even without shame Edward hugs her foster mother from the side and leaning his head on Alena's shoulder. Alena herself could only chuckle amusedly at Edward's attitude.

“Are you not ashamed if anyone sees your behavior?” “No one will dare to enter my room, mom.” Edward looked up and re-established his seat. “Mom, can I ask you something?”

Alena nodded with a smile that never disappeared. Edward was silent for a long time until a sigh sounded softly.

“Did mom know about the sign on my nape?”

Alena shook her head and looked gently at Edward. “It's been around since I found you in the garden chair, the handsome baby that made me fall in love and took her to Franklyn's mansion. I didn't even think twice about acknowledging you as my son in front of everyone even though it was clear that I wasn't married at the time. Mommy was lucky to find you at that time at the right time or that tiny, innocent baby would be rained on. .”

Edward's heart suddenly ached to see Alena crying. “Mom.”

“Mom loves you, son. So don't think about leaving our family, mom doesn't forbid you from finding out who your biological parents are. Mom was just scared.. Afraid that you might one day walk away from us, leaving mom behind when you found out who your real parents were. Thirty-five years have you been present in mom's life, and ever since you started asking your origin ten years ago.Mom's fear seems to be real.”

Edward immediately hugged Alena tightly, how could he just leave his angel behind? No, not even Edward would have had to give his life for Alena.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt, mom. You are my family, and mom is my mom. I'm not leaving you.”

Once again, Edward suppressed his feelings strongly when saying so, especially when remembering that his biological mother had been killed by the mafia. The longing for the embrace of the biological mother that he felt during this time must be back in his far away throw, God had indeed predestined that Alena's position could never be shifted as an angel for Edward even though it was his birth mother, even Alena's embrace would not be replaced by anyone.

“I am so happy when I have to take care of you, teach you a lot, help you walk and eat right. Even I love the time when I have to stay up for you and I'll cry when I see you sick. Do you know, at that time the entire mansion was panicking just because mom shouted to Uncle Al loudly while sobbing at midnight you had a high fever.”

Unknowingly, Edward's tears trickled down as he learned to ride a bike and Alena, Franklyn's daughter, was willing to heat up the heat to accompany him to learn to ride a bike and keep him from falling. Yes, since long ago Alena will not let him hurt as well as Edward, after turning his teenage years Edward has begun to promise himself to take care of Alena with his own life. Although Alena is not the mother who gave birth to her, but Alena plays more than that in her life. Edward will not be able to repay Alena and her family with anything other than trying to look after them and do anything if anyone dares to harass them.

“Thank you mom, thank you.” Edward continued to mutter the sentence and shamelessly cried again on Alena's shoulders.”
