Devil: I made a deal with him.

Adonis shot out of bed as he opened his eyes, his room was dark but he could see everything that was inside and he sighed when he realized it was all a dream again. He was already used to the dreams and didn’t freak him out anymore but he needed to control it. He can’t remain a slave to his past forever. “Here” a voice said from the shadows and he saw a hand extend towards him with a glass of water.

“I knew You would be here” Adonis mocked as he collected the glass but he didn’t drink the water, instead he placed it on his bedside table, “quit staying in my room at night zeth, I may kill you one day” “It doesn’t matter if you drink it or not” the voice from the shadows said again as his face came into view. He had a very pretty face and his hair was long and curly, “now get dressed” he added as he went to stand beside the window and threw it open. A gust of wind blew past his face and his hair danced in sync with it. “I am not in the mood to go out tonight. Make sure you close my door when you leave ``Adonis retorted as he laid down back on his bed but he didn’t close his eyes. He left them wide open and his mind drifted back to the dream he had. “You don’t have a choice now Adonis, you have to get up whether it pleases you or not” the way zeth spoke made it obvious. He was not threatening the man on the bed but he was still making sure that he knew what declining meant. Sighing heavily, Adonis climbed out of bed. He only had a towel around his waist and he was very tall. He had the type of zeth’s hair but his was a bit shorter but his face was much more beautiful like a pretty demon and his height was also a “wow” he was a bit taller than zeth making him look all dominating and perfectly evil. Walking towards his closet, he didn’t even bother to check for a particular cloth because everything inside the closet was white. From his shirts to his pants, everything was white, even down to his underwear. Pulling out a shirt, he threw it over his well built body and picked up a random pant before going back to the bed. “You should wear a jacket, the weather is pretty chilly” zeth advised, still standing near the open window while he stared at the city lazily. It was already past ten in the night but the whole city was still full of life. “Why don’t I use you as my jacket then?” Adonis teased before walking out of the room. He didn’t bother to call the guy because he knew he was going to follow suit anyways. The moment he walked out of his room, the hallway down the stairs became lit up and he sighed again before going down the stairs. His two brothers were both still in the living rooms and they were playing a game of card. How he hated all those things and how dare they even play it in his house?Were they tired of living? “We thought you won’t come out of your room tonight” the one who looked the oldest said, his name was seth. The two of them looked just as handsome as Adonis and zeth but Adonis was toping that list. They all looked like they came from another planet entirely. “Don’t come over to my place and make it filthy with your stupid cards, ' ' Adonis retorted before walking out of the house while Zeth appeared at the top of the gold coated stairs. He looked expressionless and no one would be able to know what he was thinking. “Are you taking Adonis out again?” The other brother asked, his name was zeke. “Your brother hates the game of cards, I suggest you pack it up before he gets back” saying that he followed the same route Adonis followed and the two boys made a shooting motion after him. “They both look dead” seth muttered while zeke just smiled but didn’t say anything. After all, he knew his brother well. …….. Adonis was Leaning on his black Bentley lazily when zeth walked up to him, he looked so uninterested in his environment but zeth was not bothered. That was typical Adonis by the way. “So where are you taking me this time around?” “The hospital” “Why?” He raised his brows In confusion, all the times zeth took him out it was either for a drive or even a drink or cliffs and mountains now he was taking him to the hospital? “Let’s just say, you have a job to do '' saying that, he got in the passenger's seat and waited until the big guy entered the car before they zoomed off. They both were people who didn’t talk much so the car was unusually quiet as Adonis drove, occasionally he would throw zeth a look but the latter had his eyes closed. “Focus on the road ahead Adonis and stop looking at me” he said with his eyes still closed and for the first time that might, Adonis scoffed before turning his full attention to the road. After a few minutes' drive, the car pulled up in the parking lot of the city’s biggest hospital and they both alighted before making their way inside. “Thank God you are here, doctor” the hospital director quickly rushed to him and Adonis was surprised, today was his day off so why did the hospital director look so scared. Adonis Chernobog, one of the city’s richest and most handsome men. A multi-billionaire who also worked at the hospital as a surgeon but deep within him, he hated it. “What do you mean?” Adonis asked the hospital director. “We have been trying to get through to you sir but we couldn’t. A patient had a severe case of concussion in his brain and a tumor is also growing in the affected area. It is hard to operate on him now sir” Adonis glanced at zeth for a while and he didn’t miss the smirk on his face. “So this is why you brought me huh?” “I will see you after the operation” and like that, he turned on his heel and walked away, not bothering to take another look at the man he brought to the hospital. “Prepare the operation theatre, I will get ready” Adonis said after a while and walked towards his office with an expressionless look on his face. Even the nurses and some of the patients couldn’t stop ogling at him as he passed, he was like a piece of snack everyone wanted to eat. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… The time was already past seven in the morning when the theater doors opened and the team filed out, they all looked very tired except Adonis. He still looked as composed as ever and only had a slight frown on his face. “Thank you for your hard work sir” the hospital director said genuinely. He was always cautious around Adonis because to him, the man was very different. “Make sure to give him the dexamethasone two hours after he wakes up” “Yes sir” Without saying anything again, Adonis went into his office and was not surprised to see zeth in his office and he had a piping hot cup of coffee with him. “Coffee?” “Should I perhaps burn your face with it?” The two of them never seem to say nice words to each other, it looked like they were pretty much comfortable with being harsh with each other. “You don’t look tired at all” he mocked “You look more stressed out than I am” Adonis mocked back as he hung his lab coat on its hanger revealing his well toned muscles. “Here, have some coffee. You may be called for another surgery soon. Who knows?” “I am going home to rest, make sure you don’t disturb me or I will snap your head in two” zeth smirked and stood up, “no need to get agitated Adonis chernobog. I am just stating the obvious” Suddenly the door to his office burst open and another low ranking doctor entered inside. “Doctor Adonis, emergency” zeth had a “I told you so look on his face” “Okay” Adonis replied, then he picked up another lab coat again before flipping it over his body. “Make sure the patient doesn’t die” “Maybe you will die before him” Adonis hissed before walking out of the office while zeth gaze deepened as he watched him go. ………… In the operation theatre. The patient was lying on the operation table with a big cut on his head. His skull was badly damaged and part of the brain was sipping out giving him a gory look. “First of all” Adonis began professionally, “we have to gauge the brain to stop it from sipping out again. Apply two milligrams of anesthesia to him” “Yes doc” the assisting nurse answered and set to work” “You” he gestured to another doctor, “you will help me get into his skull” “Yes doctor” “And you” he gestured to the last doctor, “keep a tab on his vitals. He can’t die” “Yes doctor” They immediately set to work, he first of all injected some anesthesia into the patient before he picked up the Medical grill and bore some holes into the open skull. The entire process was a very rough one because the patient kept slipping in and out of a coma even in his unconscious state while his blood pressure shot up real bad. “His vitals are giving danger signs, doctor” the doctor in charge of the patient’s vital’s announced. “Difilibrator, 200” Adonis ordered immediately and everyone in the room went to work, most especially Adonis. The patient can not die, he wasn’t allowed to die not in his hands. “Beep!! beep!! beep!! beep!! beep” the monitor kept beeping so fast as the whole room was thrown into panic. If this man died then he would be the first to ever die under doctor Adonis, he was the most renowned surgeon of all times. After using the defibrillator on him for a while, the beeping slowly returned to normal and everyone sighed except Adonis who maintained that expressionless look on his face. “I will sew him back up now” he announced and after another seven hours of operation, it was finally successful. After everyone walked out of the room, Adonis decided to sit on the porch not too far from the theater. He didn’t want to go to his office because he knew zeth would be there and he was not In the mood to exchange words with him. As he sat on the porch, his mind drifted back to the dreams he always had and he closed his eyes while massaging the space between his brows. He was not tired, he just needed a little rest. After a while, he noticed a nurse walk up to him and he really wanted to hiss out loud. He made it clear to everyone in the hospital that aside from important work, he didn’t want anyone close to him but with the way she was smiling and swaying her hips from left to right, he knew she was up to no good. “Doctor Adonis” she called in a feminine voice as she slowly tucked part of her hair behind her ears. “What do you want?” His voice sounded so authoritative and she found herself flinching for a split second. “I just saw that you came out of the operation and you are still alone, is there something I can do for you?” Adonis sat up as his eyes traveled around her and he was disgusted, she was so fake. “Actually you can do something for me” “Anything doctor” “Stay away from me” he said in a calm manner but his voice held so much weight. Without waiting for her reply, he left. zeth who was standing far off this time had a grim look on his face and he didn’t look pleased at all. ………… Not bothering to go back into his office, Adonis walked straight to the parking lot and the annoying guy was still there. “You are not too poor to afford a ride home zeth” he raised an eyebrow at him while the latter just opened the car door and entered. “You should be lucky I am here with you” his voice contained a sense of ridicule but Adonis was past caring about that. “Make sure you don’t come to my room tonight” “Make sure you don’t get the dreams then” The two of them kept staring at each other for a while until zeth broke his own gaze and closed his eyes. “Don’t sleep too deep. I might push you out of the car” Adonis warned. “You wish” the latter replied and the man drove out of the hospital parking lot. The drive home was the usual quiet one and even the moment he reached home, Adonis didn’t bother to wake him up and walked right into the house where seth and zeke were. The both of them were not surprised to see him rather they smiled at him. “Another day successful” seth was the one who spoke. “By the time I come back later, I don’t want to see any of you here” His gaze then flew to his fireplace and his eyes darkened. “Who sat on my chair?” The two of them gulped. “Who?” “It was seth, I warned him but he wouldn’t listen” zeke finally said in an apologetic voice, he knew his brother and his forbidden temper. After staring daggers at his brother for a while,he called out to the butler who came running after a few seconds. “Sir” “Change the chair by the fireplace” he paused, “ and you seth, I will snap your body in half if I ever see you on that chair again” and like that, he walked out on them. “He seems to be getting worse by the day” zeke whispered. “Why don’t you both get a life?” zeth’s voice filtered into their ears. “Oh please, zeth. You are way worse” zeth’s lips curved up into a thin smile before walking out of the house again, after all his day’s job was done.
